The Labor Platform.

The following sthe telcgaphic synopsis
of the platform adopted by the recent
National Labor Congress in session at
Philadelphia
That all political power IS inherent in
the people, and free governments founded
on their authority and established for their
benefit. That aborerS in al departments
of useful industry are suffering from a
system of a monarchical laws which were
enacted during the late war as measures IL
was assumed necessary TO he life OF the
Nation and which islow sought to be per
petuated in the interest of bondhOl lers and
bankers, to subvert the Govsrnme 1t of our
fathers and to establish On its ruin an
empire in which all politica power will be
centralized to restrain anC opIress the
rights of labor and subordinate il votaries
to the merciless demands )t aggregated
capital and supercilious auhority That
the National banking system leing in

That as labor is the foundation and cause
OF national prosperity, il is both the duty
and to the interest of the Govern.
ment to foster and protect it. Its impor-
lance, therefore, demands the creation of
an executive department at Washington,
to be denominateda Department of Labor
which shall aid in protecting it above all
other interests. That the National Labor
Congress earnestly recommend the adop-
ton Of such measures, among all classes
of workmen in all sections of the country,
as will secure the adoption of the eight
hour system, and call upon their respect
i've State Legislatures to follow the exam
pie of the National Congress in recogniz-
ing eight hours as a legal days work.
That political equality being one of the
cardinal principles of this organization,
we therefore urge the tull restoration of
civil and political rights to every American
citizen, except such as have been convict
ed of felony

Counterfeit Ten.Dollar Legal.Tender
Notes.

The statements which have been gen
orally published of late in reference to the
dangerous counterfeit ten-dollar legal-ten-
der notes, it was thought, was greatly
exaggerated Unfortunately the truth had
not been half told When experienced
men are unable to tell, how eaisly trades
men and the public generally are liable to
be deceived One Of the counterfeit notes
was sent by the Cashier of the National
Bank of Cohocs, N. Y, to General Spin
ner, United States Treasurer, the letter
stating that after minute examination
and comparison it was impossible to tell
whether it was genuine or counterfeit
One of that series that had never been in
circulation was compared with the one
submitted for examination, and after the
most rigid scrutiny but one flaw was dis
covered by which the counterfeit could be
distinguished from the genuine. The only
remedy is to call in all the notes Of that
denomination. Persons suspecting the
genuineness of those in their possession
will invariably find the scroll work direct
" over the words american Bank Note
Company, New York. in the left hand
corner of the note, is distinct and sharply
defined in the genuine notes, while in the
counterfeit it is blurred and unfinished.
This seems the only reliable flaw that has
been detected WaSdjHgtoaRepubltcda.
