"HOw Stands the WOrkingmen7"

Under the above caption we find an
article in n recent number of that most
able and efficient Democratic paper the
Washington Patriot, in which the is
sues relating to the Workingman's
cause are somewhat classically and
thoroughly discussed. We regret that
we have only room in our columns for
the concluding portion of that article,
which is as follows:
cit sounds very much like Democra
cy, pure and simple, to have "the ma
tional domain declared to be the invio'
liable property of the actual settler-the
tiller of The soil = revenue tariff, as
"better calculated to increase the re-
wards of labor and to encourage the
development of agricultural, mining,
mechanical, aud manufacturing re-
sources than any system Of so-called
protection that can be devised !" the
restraint of corporate power, and the
denial to the Federal Government OF
the right TO create it, the strict sub
lection of the military to the civil au-
thorities, reducing the army to Il
peace standard, and combining its oper-
atoms to national purposes alone; nc
importation Of alien labor of Il repul-
sive type; and last Of all, " general
amnesty and Il restoration OF the Union
at once on the basis of the equality oil
rights and privileges TO all classes and
interests, the impartial administration
of Justice being the only true bond Of
union to bind the states together and
engage the affections OF the people &c
the Government If this be not De-
mocracy, actual and technical, it is
very much like it, and agreeing on sucl
essentials, we can easily afford to differ
as to minor matters. 1t is the genuine
sympathy between Democracy and the
toiling man everywhere, The masses
who earn their bread by the sweat Of
their throw; who till the soil; who
,hrong the workshops; who build rail
roads, and develop our resources, com
pose the rank and file Of the Democrat
ic organization. That is their uatura

nations which venal legislation ha
contrived to crush and degrade TIT

Confessions of a Radical Senator

In a recent speech, Mr.. Pomeroy, OF
Kansas, pronounced the labor ques'
ton, civil-service reform, and the re-
peal of the franking privilege, unmiti-
gated humbugs, dead flies to catch
gudgeons, and measures that were i'm
practicable" This is undoubtedly the
real sentiment of the leaders who con
troll the Radical organization and shape
its policy. All professions to the con
trary are but shallow devices, contrived
to deceive the public and to mislead
the unwary. Mr.. Pomeroy is rep
resentative man, and is known in the
Senate as the leader of that notorious
Ring, which has squandered and stolen
nearly two hundred millions of the
public domain, and enriched them
selves by railroad grants, plundering
Indian treaties, partisan banks, internal
revenue defalcations, and other jobs
without number. Associated with all
the great corporations which have been
created and fostered by Radical legis-
lation, it is natural they should regard
the 'labor question as an unmitigated
humbug.'
Their whole policy is conspiracy
against the rights and dignity of labor,
intended to make the rich richer and
the poor poorer, by depriving honest
industry of its just reward, and crush
ing it down through the protection of
pampered monopolies, aided by OPP
pressive burdens of taxations in other
forms. The civil service is now pros
tituted to the vilest uses of party, and
has been converted into a mere ma
chine for nominating candidates and
manufacturing votes. And, so far as
the franking privilege is concerned,
the monstrous abuses under it are so
fragrant and outrageous, that the De
partment, whose revenues are most af
fected by the frauds which are daily
perpetrated, has ceased to protest
against system, which combines in
its favor the united power of the Rad.
ical members of both Houses. While
Mr.. Pomeroy was thus declaiming in
Kansas, his franks, with those of his
worthy associate in the Ring, Senator
Harlan, were going out from this city
by tens of thousands, not only to carry
free in the mails incendiary and lying
documents issued by the Congressional
Radical Committee, but to cover cir
culars for newspapers and business
cards at the expense Of the Treasury.
We are not, therefore, surprised that
Pcmeroy, and the party of which he is
the fit exponent, whose whole aim and
strength may be summed up in The two
words, public plumber, should denounce
''the labor question, civilservice reform,

AN OFFSET.

The columns OF the hadlcal papers
are "about these days" much occupied
in exposing the dishonesty, eItrava-
gance, etc, etc. Of the New York
City Government We would advise
them to look at home when the ma
tional Government, which is under
their full control is so foul and reeking
with corruption Of the sorest kind.
The city of Philadelphia has been
under Republican rule for the last ten
years, and the following picture of her
situation furnishes the best evidence
of the results Of that rule:
THE debt Of the city, i'll round
numbers is fifty millions of dollars.
Twenty millions more will be needed
in the next five years to carry out I'M
provements. As to taxation, that has
been raised to one dollar and eighty
cents, on full valuation of property,
equal to five dollars and forty cents on
the old valuation under the Democrats.
And for this vast outlay what has the
city to show? We have but limited
supply of water; our streets are in a
shameful condition; and the gas-how
is insufficient; our water front needs
improvement; we have no public
buildings, and the drainage of the city
is nothing when compared with that of
other places. We have an increased
debt-nothing else-to tell where the
money has has gone to, Each year
these facts have pressed home upon
Councils, but without effect. The
"Ring' closed to all remonstrances,
and pocketed all the cash that could be
extracted from the hard earnings of
the people. Jobs were piled upon jobs
each more outrageous than its prede-
cessors. Contracts which should have
been executed for ten thousand dollars,
cost thirty thousand, and they ap-
peared in greater frequency each year.
The wood-pavement job, the Wind
rim swindlc, and hosts Of other like
arrangements, mark the manner in
which the Radical party are conduct
ing the financial affairs of the city.
Now, we call the attention of men of
all parties to these facts, which cannot
be contradicted, and ask them if it is
not time the city boat was put upon a
different tack? This should not be
viewed in a party aspect A debt con,
tracted by Radical Council is just as
injurious to the interests of the city as
if Democrats had fastened the stone
about the necks of the masses. A tax
bill signed by a Radical collector is
just as burdensome as if it was issued
from the office OF a Democratic func
tionary. The issue is not party one
1t is the people against the plunderers
it is honest men against dishonest ones
it is taxpayers against the 'Ring."
That is the real issue at the present
time, and we ask property-holders
merchants, manufacturers, capitalists.
mechanics, workingmen Of all kinds
to look at it in calm. reasonable man
ner, and vote as freemen, not slaves
If a change is desired it can be OBJ
tanned by action at the polls, and by
that means only.

Rutland. VI. is all excitement OY

Rutland, VT, is all excitement over
the discovery of the suicide of VIM.
A. Hale, man about 35 years of age,
and a resident OF the village. He had
wife and child, of whom he took
leave on Saturday, atfectionately kiss
inc both, giving to his wife his pocket
book and watch, and telling her that
she would never see him again. Mrs.
Hale was naturally alarmed at this I'M
usual conduct Of her husband, who
had never given evidence of mental
arrangement or serious depression, and
as the hours passed by, communicated
her fears to some of the neighbors. On
Sunday morning a search was made,
which resulted in finding the lifeless
body of the unfortunate man in lone
" place. the throat having been cut by
means of a pocket knife which was on
the ground near by. On searching the
pockets letter was discovered in the
breast pocket of the coat, which re
veals the cause of the rash act, II
was addressed to Mr. Hale, and was
written by a young married man Of
this village named George a. Patch.
1t contained in substance an implied
charge of misconduct on the part Of
Hale and the wife of Patch, and de
mand of $50 to prevent a legal prose
cution. 1t is supposed that Hale was
the victim of n relentless system o.
blackmail, and in despair adopted the
course which he did to escape from
his tormentors. Patch has been AZ
rested.

ism is the enemy of reform, the pro.
