8. That the protection Of life, liberty and
proeerty are the three cardinal principles Of
government, and the first two more sacred
than the latter therefore the money neces-
sary for prosecuting wars should, Is it is re-
quired, be assessed and collected from the
wealth Of the country, and not entailed ~ q

g. That it ID the duty Of the government
to 10 exercise its power over railroad and tai

case be privileged to exact such rates Of
freight transportation or charges, by whatso-
ever name, g may bear unduly or uneqrally

TO- That fitness, and not political or per-
SouAl considerations, Should be the only re-
commendation to public Office, either appoint
i've or elective, and any or all laws looking to
the establishment Of this principle are heart

II. That, a. both history and experience
teach US that power ever seeks to perpetuate
itself by any and by al means at its command,
and that its prolonged possession in the hands
Of one person i always dangerous to the
liberties Of free people; and believing, TOO,
that the spirit Of our organic laws and the
stability and safety OF oar free institutions
are best obeyed ON the one hand and secured
on the other By regular constitutional
chance IN the Chief Executive Of the country
at eacn quadrenniAl election; therefore, we are
in favor Of limiting the occupancy Of the
Presidential chair to one term.
In. That the enlightened spirit Of the aRs

Is. That we deem it expedient for Con,
Qress to revise the Patent laws % 40 to give
labor more fully the benefit Of 10 own inven-

finement Of its operation to national purposes

The GERMAN SAVINGS BANK, presided over
by our well known citizen, Henry Greenebaum,
Esq, is one of the safest and most reliable in
stitution in the Western Country. Working
men should make hay while the snn shines.
During the coming season 1000 mechanics
will find employment in our city, and for the
benefit Of those who reside on the West Side,
we call particular attention to the advertise
ment Of the German Savings Bank, located at
l6 Canal street Deposits Of 81 received and
interest allowed thereon.

"A Coon CHANCE FOR Co-0PKRATIoH There
never was better opportunity presented to
the mechanics Of any city than Is now present
TO the workingmen Of Chicago, TO practically
illustrate the advantage and prAeticAbility Of
cooperation. By proper management the ma
jority Of the buildings to be erected, during
the coming season, can be erected on coop
erAtive oasis. Let the skilled workmen among
the stone mAsOns, bricklayers, plasterers and
carpenters unite, and there is no doubt but
Whist they can field controlling influence in
the future business Of our city. The services
Of the middlemAn, and his profits on mAterial
and labor, can easily be dispensed with, and q
large percentage on the cost Of erection saved.
Let dozen responsible, practicable, qualified
mechanics take the initiative, offer their ser
vices to our capitalists at reasonable rates, un-
dsrtAke to do nothing which they cannot per
form, and there il no doubt but that co-opera-
ton would receive an impetus which would
eventually give it the control Of the building
business. and prove equally beneficial to
the employer and the employee. In . future
issue We shall have something more to say on
this important subject.

TIE Trades Union Committee met ON
Tuesday last, and the subcommittee reported
visiting Columbus the second time upon notice
received that the President Of the B. Of d. of
the Cleveland work house would be there to
defend the Beavis work house BILL hut that
gentleman ascertaining that he would be met
by delegation from Cleveland and this city,
wisely concluded to postpone his visit until a
more opportune occasion. They reported that
the Judiciary Committee of the Senate &C.
corded them hearing. and the bill received a
thorough ventilation, being feebly defended
by Senator Beavis Of the committee who in
troduced it to the Senate Senator Beavis
proved his unfitness for the position he holds
by endeavoring to force q personal difficulty
with one of the committee from Cleveland in
to the committee room. He was promptly
silrnced by Senator Jones, who reminded him
that there was plenty of room outside to set
tie such matters Beavis subsidized From
the Columbus Netrs, we find that the Presi-
dent Of the B. Of D. Of Cleveland work house
having ascertained the coast was clear, hon
ored the committee with his presence and
disproved 81 all the assertions and proofs
brought to bear by the working men. Tie
bill ,riH not pass.

THE TRADES The bricklayers have one Of
the best unions in the city; they meet every
week and their meetings are always well at
tended. They anticipate a good season,
though the supply Of bricklayers now in the
city will fully meet every demand for them.
The plasterers and carpenters have no
unions, and as q consequence know nothing
about each other. and apparently very little
about their individual selves. They expect
to be able to command 81 per day when the
season sets in. Two years ago the plasterers
had union and commanded from a TO o. 80
per day, but then it cost too much to keep up
the union. They prefer to loose q per day
rather than pay fifty cents . month TO main
tain union. Many of them propose to take
the lecture field next winter subject -'' The
true science Of economy"
The carpenters, as unionists, never did
amount to shucks, and they are getting no
better fast
The painters have made, and a few true
spirits are continually making efforts to get
theL members together, but either through
ignorance, jealousy, or don't care-a-d-m-
ativeness, all efforts have SO far been fruit
less. They average about 50 per day.
The stone mAsons are mostly Germans and
have union of some character, either social
or benevolent they meet lover the Rhine '

As we happen to know something about the
motives which actuate these "requisitionees, :"
we have word TO say. There is the best of
reason for believing that nothing would
please Mr.. Talcott better than ''riotous'
strike Of the workingmen Of this city. We
know the threats he has made time and
again, provided such an unfortunate circum-
stance should occur; but we assure him and
his minions that they are counting without
their host. The mechanics of Chicago are
orderly, peaceful, law-abiding citizens, who
can neither be intimidated by threats from
securing their Just demands, nor driven to the
commission Of illegal aats while demanding
them. Their labor is their capital they pro-
pose to dispose Of it to the best advantage,
without consulting Mr.. Talcott or any other
man. They desire no riot-they will provoke
no riot. Their conduct since the calamity
which visited our city is a proof Of this state
ment, and none but craven slanderer would
assert to the contrary However, there is a
limit to human forbearance While they are
the last class Of citizens TO incite or TO be
benefited by not, they mean to demand and
maintain their rights ct all hazards and il
for doing 50 the bayonet or cannon is to b
brought into requisition, there are three men
in this city who may have reason to regret
their foolhArdiness

No CRIsPIN NEED APPLY-Such il the
closing sentence Of an advertisement Of .
wholesale boot and shoe firm on Woodbridge
street, OF, in other words, it reads "No
Crispins employed" Which viii be readily
interpreted by mechanics and those AcquAint-
ed with the Crispin organization. that they do
not want to employ any first-class workmen
in their establishment, but they would prefer
only those who are either physically or moral
" deficient Of the attributes of manhood, and
who are considered unfit to associate with
their brother-craftsmen in their laudable efforts
to keep up the reputation Of their trade by or
ganization. aNM.

UNUSUAL activity prevails in nearly al
trades, such as moulders, machinists, ship
wlights, wagon makers and blacksmiths. Not
forgetting the cigar makers, who, a. . class
of Union men, cannot be surpassed in their
strict adherence to the rules and regulations
Of their organization, which in the great secret
of their success in keeping up to good stand
ard of prices. 1t not only enables the jour
neyman to support himself and family in q re-
spectacle manner, but it Ia also the means Of
increasing the business Of liberal employer
by gathering around him the most competent
workmen, thereby enabling first class firms to

brands as the J. L. NJ, which has made De-

The long continued cold weather at this
