by the people. These should have been a
total separation from gold.
The New York HorId-the organ Of the
gold gamblers, tells MS that such currency
would create "a prodigious imitation OF the
currency. Surprising the natural rate Of
interest (ndturdl rate Of interest is very
good) to be seven per cent, il men can Dor
row at half that rate they will be-iikely to
use double the quantity Of money" that is,
il industry is Frustrated because Of high
rate of interest !; lower the rate, and men
will borrow money, and business will revive,
or to put in palmer terms, il ms- rfacturer
can only run his shop with half his usual
number Of employees, reduce the rate one
hall and he could borrow money to fill up
his shop and run full time. At high rate
OF interest the builder is not willing to en-
bark in new enterprises; reduce the rate one
half and he would put up whole rows OF
new houses. At high rate of interest the
farmer cannot afford to make improvements,
but lower the rate ore half and he will
build new barn, make new fences, under
drain his swamp lands, and put his farm IN
complete order. But according to the World,
to stimulate industry by plenty Of money
and low rate Of interest, would be a La
tional calamity.

FROM CINCINNATI.


At meeting recently held in this city for
the purF ose Of forming Labor League, Mr..
John Tomlinson, of the National Executive
Committee, was called to the chair.
Mr.. Thomas White, chairman Of the Com
mittee on Constitution and Bylaws, pre-
sented the following declaration, which was
unanimously adopted;
1.-THE purpose of tie Local Labor Union be,
ing to unite in the bonds Of brotherhood The
workingmen OF this city, in common effort to
ameliorate and elevate their condition. that they
may be enabled to protect themselves from the
unreenting, Overreaching grasp Of capital there
FORE in order to sustain and cooperate in this
noble undertaking, this organization is formed,
pledging ourselves to furnish its quota Of sup-
port 20 the State Union, and at the same time
to keep up local agitation Of the subject OF la
Dor reform. 10 make which effective the duty OF
the organ'zallon will be TO operate upon the To-
cal pohtlcs, as affecting the election Of repre-
sentatives to the State legislature, to congress
and to other positions of power and trust, who
must be pledged 10 faithful support Of the re
forms demanded, first among which is law to
preserve the public domain doth agricultural
and mineral) to those who want it for actual use
and occupation
A long and excited discussion arose con
corning the propriety Of making the associa
ton secret one, which was participated in
by Messrs. McIIugh, Nedaris, White and
Halter. IL was insally determined, howev-
er, that all its deliberations should be con
Quoted in public, after which the meeting

THE GERMANS OF NEW YORK.

We acknowledge the receipt Of an invita-
ton to attend a grand picnic, to be given at
Jones Wood, New York, on Tuesday, the
Sth Of June, under the auspices Of the Ger
man Workingmen's Union, and regret that
we must forego the pleasure Of being present
on that occasion. Il is intended to inaugu
rate the same by grand festival to be given
il the Germana Assembly Rooms, on Mon
day evening, June 7. The procession, which,
il is expected, will be grand affair, will
march through several of the principal
streets, and will leave headquarters the fol-
loving morning at 81 O'Clock The objects
sought to be accomplished by the festival
are thus stated in the invitation:
This festival il to subserve the double pur
pose Of giving to the present labor movement
especially among the Germans new and gen.
eral impetus, and Of advancing powerfully the
fraternizaton OF All workingmen. AT the sane
time. the proceeds Of this festival are TO inule
70 the "Arbeiter Union" tile German Labor
Weekly which, on and after the goth May
instant, appears ss daily. In the success OF
ths daily, principally depends the success Of
our labor cause among cur German fellow Ia
borers, who, on account Of their lack Of ac
quaintance with the English idiom, are Liable to
be mlsled by German papers in the interest Of
capital.
As our German fellow citizens seldom do
things by halves, we have no doubt that
they will accomplish the end in view-at
least, they awe our desire that succc 50 may
crown their efforts.

To the Editor Of the woAEIEsNAs's AD.scArE.
The dissatisfaction at Borie's unfair con-
struction of the E ght-Hour Law, among the
mechanics in our Navy Yard-those "slow,
very slow" gentry who received an editorial
basting, and an eminently deserved one, at
your hands week before last-has culmina-
ted in the formation Of organization known
as the WoI kingmen's Association. to co-ope-
rate with similar organizations in other
yards. At an adjourned meeting, held on
Monday evening last, letters were read from
other yards, urging the necessity Of united
action, and received with applause. A let
ter from Governor Geary was also read, in
which that gentleman squareIy and manful
ly takes issue with Secretaries Borie and
Rawlings, announcing himself uneQuivOcal-
ly ar advocate of full pay for eight hours,
and p,edgiag himself to do ell that lay in
his power, officially or individually, to assist
the labor interests.
Hon VIM. ID. Kelly. popularity known as
sBin" Kelly, has been generally looked upon
ueTebOlOtty ~ LAWNS eoc usopoc's'~'- = -
sitions in the Navy Yard here almost exelu-
sively in his hands, SO that il was but natu-
raj that the committee Of visitation OF the
Workingmen's Association asked of him his
views upon the Eight-Hour Law. At pre-
vious meeting, it had been reported that
Kelly had expressed himself A. opposed to
the government paying full days pay Tor
eight hours, while workmeD in private en-
~ are compelled to work ten hours. AT
the adjourned meeting, letter from him was
read. complaining that be had been IaisreP-
resented, and offering to give his views 20
the committee, at their pleasure. A mem-
