The Rich Agairs, tho Poor.

The natural tendency of vast wealth
in the hands of small minorities against
the multitude, the people, is to make
them insolent and powerful; and their
inso!ence ard power arc, used to opprtss,
override, and impovcrish the laboling
many.
This is an era of great combinations
and large monopolies, but all the comb-
nations and the monopolies are against
the people-against their interests, their
security, their well being; and serve and
were designed to strengthen, prop up,and
magnify the wealthy and favored classes.
This begets constant war between
wealth and labor, between the opulent
bondholdcr and the struggling tax payer,
between the great body of the people
and the favored few, made proud, over
bearing, ambitious and dictatorial by
riches, and bcgctting at the same time a
spirit of authority and tyranny over the
honest laboring classes.
The Round Table (Radical, portrays
the unhappy consequence 20 the people,
from such rulers:
'"Somc of them carry their devil-mav
care aspirations to new Territories and
SOW the seeds of Empire far West, antic
ipating the time when the West joins
again the far East; returning after q
while to their old homes, some to the
Senate, others to the House, others to
speculations in Wall street, brimful OF
the frcebootcr's spirit; and, while they
play on the thousand -stringed harp OF
the demagogue, striving in truth for
booty, spoils, power, self. Thus, while
everywhere on this vast continent, from
Maine to Nevada, from Georgia to Ala;
lla, from Wall and State streets to the
gold and silver mines of California and
Colorado, a few strong men,m daring
lucky, and successful than the rest, ge
the upper hand, league together with
Congressman for railways and other mo
nopolies, and actually are the rulers O
the country, because they control its leg
islation and handle its resources, the so
called middle classes, who in Europ.
keep up the balance Of social power, ar,
fast disappearing among us, and gradu
ally merging with the masses of til,
poor, the rich becoming richer, the poo
poorer .'...
To Radicalism the above picture says
more gold in our pockets off of th'
laboring classes"
To the labormg classes, the tax pay
ers, it says More taxes out of on
almost empty pockets to enrich the vii
lains now robbing us by authority Of tn
party in power"

Crop Prospects at The west.

A Chicago despatch a few days ago
stated that the crop accounts from all
sections of the West were highly favor
able. The Illinois State journal, pub
lished at Springfield, says that for many
years the crop prospects at this period
of the season have not been SO favorable
as at the present time. Last fall the
weather was exceedingly favorable for
planting wheat. Crops were put in carly
and, owing to the lateness of the season
the plants obtained a vigorous growth
before cold weather set in. This saved
the crops from the usual mishaps of Win
ter, and complaints of s'freezing ont
have consequently been rare The late
spring has also been favorable, the cold,
vet weather preventing too rapid
growth. Notwithstanding the spring
has been late, farmers have been able to
make good progress in getting in grain
potatoes and making ready for corn, and
complaining will probably be compile
ted by the middle of May, whereas last
year it was not finished till June.

The Fifteenth Amendment.

The following article is from the Chi
cago Post, an able and independent Re
publican newspaper:
That 1.-TWO wrongs do not make one
right" }" is as true in politics as every
thing e.se; hence we do not choose to
put forward the rullianly action OF the
Indiana Legislature in electing Sena-
tor to Congress IN 1887, and the atroc-
ious conduct of the Senate in admitting
to his seat the man SO chosen asa justi-
ficatlon of the revolutionary proceed
ings by which it is claimed that the Eff
teenth Amendment to the Federal Con-
stitution was ratified few days ago,
To make no long story of it, We Will
state that the Copperheads and they

TeXas) were determined that the amend
ment should not come to 4 vote, al
though to defeat it they might be COM
pclled to resign. Being hard pressed by
the majority against them in each house,
a sufficient humber of. them sent in their
designations to the Governor, as they
had a clear legal right to do, to, break
mp a quorum; bat ten of them, eight of
whom had resigned, we're, brought into
the Senate under q call Of tie house,
and though they were present and did
not vote, the resolution was brought,
and of course passed by. twenty seven
to one-thirty -four being quorum. The
claim of the majority that they had no
official notification of the resignation of
the eight members held inside of the
Senate under the call and that, as they
were present, though they refused to
answer to their names, may not have
something in it. Whether it has OF has
not makes no. difference, because the
proceedings in the Lower House are in
themselves conclusive Of the want of
legality in the result. The resolution
in that body was considered by only
fitty-iive members, against the protest
of the opposition that the action was
worthless as sixty-six members were re
quired for quorum. The Speaker paid
no attention to the fact; but ''put the
thing through
Now we are sincerely and heartily in
favor of the Fifteenth Amendment, but
we are not in favor Cf and can not as
sist in establishing such precedent for
future outrages upon the rights Of the
minority as this Indiana history will be,
| if it ha S the appreciation of Congress
and the country. We hold that the re
signation Of the opposition members
was moral crime against the people /;
but it was not necessarily subversive of
good government OF order in the State.
It simply delayed legislation, and took
the question in issue back to the people,
where the Republicans should have been
glad to fight it out. But set it up as a
rule that the constitution Of State in q
time ofpeace may beviolated with impu-
nifty and that the violators may gain all
that they endeayored to accomplish by
their act, and of course all checks upon
the power of majorities, all safeguards
for the protection of minorities, and all
sable and orderly government, are at
an end. The Fifteenth Amendment,
ratified by the means chosen for the
purpose in Indiana, would not be worth

Sale Of Offices by Grant.

General Grant, since his accession to
power, has evinced a remarkable. inn
provement in his capacity for making
money, compared to what it was when
working. for his father in. the Galena
tannery at forty dollars month. The,
following, from the New York Worlds
shows that the President intends to lay
by something for. q rainy day:
The trouble which Grant is eApegienc-,
ing in reference to the appointments for
Office in the District of Columbia, accord
ing to all reports, arises from acts on the
part of the President which make slam
amenable. under the bribery laws ut 10

Mr. Brown paid the usual ten per ccnk
to bind the bargain, SubsequentlySa
fund of sixty five thousand dollars WAS
raised in New York to purchase the
house for General Sherman. Grant
thereupon resold it to those PARTIES but
before he could transfer the title, he found
his contract with Bowen in the way, and
that gentleman inslsting 6 lthat.the propers

could sell it, Mr.S'oBowel was wiHingsto

The above represents the foreign gold
cost, exclusive Of freight and duty. We
have given more particulars than the
items named by our sp0ndent, and
every important article is specified The
non. enumerated articles Of general mer-
chandisc make large aggregate, but this
total consists Of many hundred articles,
drugs, chemicals, &c, none Of which
represents Il large value by itself, and
full particulars Of which we have already
published. Ii will be seen, contrary to
cur correspondents theory, that the to-
tai imports of. dry goods, which we have
c!assed by themselves, are only about
one,thIrd Of all the foreign products for
which we have to pay. Our legislators
have made the United States the dearest
market in the world; consequently, we
sell little and buy MUCH. That PROPOSE
ton is 50 plain that the most isliterate
reader can understand it. The theory
Of the protectionist is, that by making
the home market dear, we encourage
home production. The result as shown
BY experience is that when our markets
are made dear we lessen our sales to
other countries, our produce costing so
much they can buy cheaper elsewhere !;
while everybody who can comes here to
sell his wares, because everything is high.
This business would soon collapse OF
itself if we had, to pay specie for the
difference but as long as we can pay in
bonds, only close observers see any dan
ger ahead And i'll the face Of this the
old high tariff editors, orators, and leg
iSlators see no other remedy than to
make the home market still dcarer by a
further increase in the cost Of everything
which enters into production. We buy
too much, therefore give foreigners a
higher market here for their goods! We
sell too little, therefore make everything
produced 4 little dearer!! and the people
are expected only to sec that ..abor and
produce are quoted at higher rates, and
| to applaud tie legislation that produces
such result. A dear home market is
not blessing. When that truth is learn
\ ed and acted upoii the true interests of
| both labor and capital will be understood
and conserved How many generations
must struggle and suffer before the truth
| is appreciated

The New York Legislature, at its late
session, passed law similar to that now
III force in Ohio, permitting persons ac-
cused of crime to be examined as wit
nesses upon the trial. This can only be
done upon the request of the accused,
however, and the neglect or refusal of
any such person to testify is not to Gre
ate any presumption against him.

these questions put to them: g .a
VIII you vote the full Democratic
ticket at the October election?
viii you vote for the Democratic nom

lf either is answered in the negative
the vote ought to be refused. That the
