UNSUITABLE pride, it makes its bow to its shou,

nouncemen4 that its success has been esta-

God helping as, it is our intention to con-

arrangements to add new and interesting

Thanking our many kind friends and pa-

can but reteat the promise given in the first

AN UNMIrrIGATED FRAUD.

We have received the first four numbers
Of q weekly journal, published in Cincinnati,
by Messrs. Fsirchld & Thomas, undeg the
caption Of the "WoRKIScxAN's ADvoc STE. ("
Men who are evidently so poverty stricken
for an idea as to be compelled to srkAL a
name, under such circumstances, have
neither the brains nor the manhood to CON
duct journal of any character. Since the
establishment of the Advocate, we have
witnessed the advent of hundred papers
devoted to the interests of the producing
classes, but this is the first instance in
which such contemplate trick has been
INDUCED in.
The american Workman in referring to
to the fraud, kindly remarks:
The Workingman's Advocate is a weekly
paper which was started in Cincinnati, the lat
ter part Of June. While paying consis SCRABBLE
attention to labor matters, il is also largely 10
Cal and miscellaneous in the selectioT OF its
matter. We are sorry that its managers were
not fair enough or wise enough to select an
original name, instead of copying that of our
able contemporary, the Chicago ADyUcATE.
Ohio and its adjoining country gives our friends
good field to work. and we wish thernrall sue
cess. Il is furnished at two dollars year.

FROM WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, July l6, 1869

To the Editor Of the WoRKIsenAS's ADVOCATE.
HOW OFFICIALS GET RICH IN OFFICE.
To see unnistskably, that there is some
thing fundamentally and fagrantl ywrong,
in the administration of Departmental affAirs
at Washington, we need only to note the
fact that there is scarcely q single official,
who held a controlling position for two OF
three years in the Treasury, that did not
retire rich or who still holds such posi-
ton that is not growing so-ostensibly on
salaries Of two to four thousand q year
while many members Of Congress share the
same favorable fortune-laying up fortunes
vastly beyond the capacity Of their legitimate
salaries. These large Accommodations, be
yond the ostensible salaries are realized
chiefly from three sources LIST. Gigantic
land swindles and monopokes TO railroad
companies and others. 9nd Connivance
at, and aid to, extensive whiskey and other
fraudulent operators upon the Revenue
3-d. The rich advantage in obtaining and
holding government bonds, payable on better
terms and in better money than are paid for
pensions, &c., to soldiers and to laborers--
and vet are not taxed; while the laborer and
producer are taxed severely 10 paw these
same privileged non-taxe6 bonds or the in
terest.
There are Harrington, and Chandler and
Clarke, with many othefs who occupied pro-
mirent positions in the Treasury, for few
years, and retired, worth FROM $50, 900 to

SIS 900 or $i0O, 900 each, As is we'll known.
Then there is Rollins, with some Of his sub
ordinates, in the Internal Revenue Bureau,
who have retired. known to have gained, in
a few years. from sc, 900 to SIS. 900, on
ostenslble salaries rsnglng from 81 800 to
"a 900, while they produced nothing, but it
bias sll to be paid by the hard-toiling labor
ing man In increased taxes and increased
prices Of what be consumes while these
absorbing. non producing cormorants, are
accommodating thousands, but really adding
nothing to the wealth of the country. But
little observation, in Washington, is needed
to enable any one to see these these things.
And yet, too many laboring men will con-
tinue to vote for this kind Of politicians !;
and for no better reason than to see their old
party triumph.
The monopolising or accommodating large
tracts OF the Government or wild lands, in
the hands OF spectators and heartless COL
porations, is frightful bane to industry,
and ought not TO be allowed 10 take place /;
these lands should be disposed Of only 10
actual stilers and cultiudtOrs, in moderate
quantities. Producers aud laborers should
vote for no candidate for Congress who will
not faithfully, earnestly and continually OPP
pose
/. Granting away the the public lands to
monopOlies aud spectators, and favor granting
them only to actual settlers
2. Paying the bonds in any better money
than vas paid for them, or is paid 70 laborers
and for other Indebtedness
8. Allowing National Banks to circulate their
bills and against allowing them interest on the
bonds they are based upon
4. Measures for taxing only portion Of the
property to pay the National Debt-while all
property, including the bonds should be equally
taxed for that purpose
s. Oppose all class and privileged legislation
which benefits capital at the expense Of labor
and production.
Let the laboring, producing classes, con-
stantly and earnestly observe and insist
upon these conditions, and they will speedily
do much to effect . revolution TO their ad
vantage. Select men known and tried-nOtl
take them on their recent professions and
newborn zeal. ID. S. @.

and really considers hostile to it's own
safety.
The demand Of the workingmen for the
Withdrawal from the banks of this fictitious
capital Of circulation does not mean ouposi.
ton to legitimate use Of real capital, but ID
founded on the high claim of freedom from
the abuses which flow from the DELEGATION
Of power over circulation by the Govern
ment to corporations or individuals. II
claims the ability Of the individual to regu-
late his employment without the dictation or
control Of the fictitious capitalist, and The
general intelligence to work for the general
prosperity. II seeks development by redo
cling rates of interest, and it further seeks to
compensate real capital BY fair interest on
circulation, when it becomes redundant, and
Is converted into bonds as capital.

McGhEGoR, Iowa, July Is, 1869.
TO the Edisor Of the woRKmGNAH's ADvocArE.
Your remarks on my Chinese article, and
Senator Casserly's, Of California, to which
you call my attention, read thus The
most beasii.I, polluted, subservient race on
the face Of the globe,"-'' the scum Of the
Chinese empire,"-" are the most frugal
ingenious and industrious people on the face
Of the Cube" "The splendid granite
building occupied BY Wells, Fargo & Co.,
the stone OF which was cut in China, was
built by Cinnamon"
am sorry that the ADVOCATE thus sluIs
one-third Of the workingmen Of the world ,
it sounds to me like the old slave-hoGing
cry Of the " Northern Mud-sill," and seems
to accord with the practice Of the present
mushroom sristocracy who treat Us as such.
Your plea for waging a crusade against this
peopIo, 80 noted for their mechanical ge-
NOUS, their industry and their frugality,"
Is, that they cheaper labor. Ii il true. But
there is a remedy for this, such as unions
and corporation, and one besides which We
will specially consider, i.e., the abolition of
all rates Of interest above one per cent. per
annum, and Ike reduction on all rents.
The surplus increase of wealth after the
yearly consumption is, on the average, as
statistics show, 3 and l of one per cent. !;
that is, ten. thirds Of one per cent. Now
then, if instead Of giving nine Of these ten
thirds Of wealth to the lazy capitalists who
constitute but one in twenty OF our popula-
ton, and have no right to it, las our plat
form proposes), We give seven Of these ten
thirds to the nineteen twenueths who labor,
and the other three thirds 70 the capitalist,
or one-tw-ntieth, who does not labor, We
shall effect IN equitable distribution of the
products OF labor between capital and labor,
And consequently give the laborer seven
tunes rs much Of the wealth, as annually
produced, as be would get BY the plan OF
our platform, which gives him only one
tsnth.

In our national weakness bounce, and thus
loose eight Of the impending danger. The
roseate hues In which our national greatness
Is depicted BY our stump orators loose half
their charms when presented In the light Of
