HOW THINGS ARE WORKING.


HOW THINGS ARE WORKING.
Hon. Joseph b. Hall, of Portland, was
identified with the formation and rise of
the Republican party in Maine. He was
Secretary OF State for several years, has
edited several republican papers in the
State, and always had the confidence of
the party. Mr. Hall is now editor and
proprietor Of the Monitor, published in
Portland. Like many Others of his way
of thinking politically, he has become
alarmed at the grasping policy of the
capitalists and manufacturers, aided by
government corruption, and has deter
mined TO lend the aid of his influence and
his pen towards reform. His announce
ment is bold, strai ghtforward and manly
1t should he read by every working man
in the State. And in aid OF that purpose
we copy the principal portion below
Our readers will not fail to notice that VIC
have placed at the head of our columns, the
| name Of Charlea Z. kmhal. of Portland, rs the
WofkingmenS Candidate for Governor OF
Name. 1t may be expected that we shOu lI
give some of the reasons which have influenced
us, inasmuch as it is known that we are Re
publican, always have been and still are-that
we aided i'll organizing that party and spent
time and money for its success. when its present
leaders and favored ollicehOlderS We're Its active
opponents in the ranks of PrO-slavery De
mocracy. From that time until after the war
had settled the questions upon which il Sprang
INTO existence and the progress of the country
opened new issues for trial before the American
people, we have always given il our hearty and
earnest support, and now rs ever, when il
stands as the defender of the rights of the com
mon people, we are with it rs earnestly as ever.
But it has grown corrupt under its long con
tinurd aSccndency, and needs renovation and
publication. lis machinery has fallen into the
hands of a ''ring OF corrupt and unscrupulOus
'lamagogueS, and its rank and lie have hitherto
followed blindy.
Since the settlement of the Slavery question
on which the dominant party stood as the
champion of human rights-the champion OF
Labor against the llSurpationS of Capital, the
monied ariStocracy Of the nation has sought
new modes of subjectng Labor to its will. I'm"
able longer to own, ii seeks now to control
Labor by crushing it beneath an intolerablc
burden of taxation, under which the rich men
are growing richer and the poor men poorer
every day, paralyzn@ the industries Of the
country and throwing thousands upon thou
sands of working men out of employment
