THE TOBACCO MEETING.

The meeting Of workmen in the to-
bacco factories Of Richmond, held last
night at the old African church, indicated
the intense interest that the laboring classes
of our people feel in the speedy settlement
of the tax question. The workmen Of these
factories now employed are losing not less
than $780, 900 weekly.
The tradesmen upon whom they depend
for supplies, the farmers who feed them,
the mechanics who build their houses for
them, and every collateral interest Of the
city is suffering because this important in
dustrial interest Of the city and State is
paralyzed. There is already pinching want
in hundreds of families, and serious uncer-
tainty as to the future among both employ
ers and employed. .-..
What both ask is speedy decision of
the question upon q uniform basis. They
desire reduction to l6 cents, but the spc-
cific rate is subordinate to that of uniform.
ty. There is no good reason for this 1uin-
Gus delay on the part of the Committee of
Ways and Means. 1t is cruel and unjust
to all parties, and we hope to see such a
pressure brought to bear upon those gen.
tlemen who are sacrificing the public in.
terests to their petty schemes of personal
orpolitical ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, as shall result
in prompt action. We want united
movement of all industries upon these
questions which affect their interests. The
producers of the country should be a unit
where their pecuniary interests are in
volved.
The tobacco men of Virginia must stand
or fall with the great army of American
labor. They have common cause in th,
reduction of internal revenue taxes to The
minimum, and the removal Of all non
protective duties on importations. Thei
great product will be largely consumed
in proportion to its cheapness and the gene
raj prosperity.
The action of the meeting last cvenin
was timely, and should be followed b.
similar meetings all over the State.

THOSE who threaten to contest the
constitutionality of the act repeating the
coupon feature of the Funding bill, SO far
as it prohibits the coupons from being re-
ceived in payment of taxes, may carry out
their threat and possibly get decision in
their favor. But what will they gain by
it? They will be simply jumping out of
the frying-pan into the fire. For the pre-
sent Legislature is too Overwhelmingly OPP
posed to the funding hub' iniquity to do
anything less another year than they have
done this !; and should the courts declare
their action this session to be unconstitu-
tional, they will put new funding bill
through next session, which will make
somebody's head swim. Better take two
thirds of a loaf than no bread or, better
still, hold on to the meat you have got than
leap into the current of legislation for the
delusive shadow which another session Of
this Legislature promises to give the bond
holder.

THE complimentary banquet given to
Col. John w. Forney, on Friday evening
last, by the merchants and importers of
Philadelphia, for the purpose of testifying
their commentator of his course as Col
lector of the port, and their high apprecia-
ton of him as a man and journalist, was
one of the handsomest demonstrations Of
the kind ever rendered to public man in
that city. 1t was not in any sense polti-
cal demonstration, but one in which all par
tisan feeling was sunk in the warm person
al regard shown by persons of all shades
of political opinion for the worthy re-
cipient Of the complimentary ovation.
Colonel Forney deserves all this,
for while he is one of the ablest journalists
in the country, and exerts wide and COM
handing influence in political circles, his
great intellectual ability, fine social quali-
ties, and answering integrity in business
transactions, are calculated to give him
hosts of friends everywhere, and especially
in commercial community, like Philadel-
phia, where such personal qualities are pc
cularly appreciated. 1t was an ovation
Of which any man might be proud.

PERIODICALS,

The Laacs of life and Journal Of
Health, published monthly at Dansyilla,
New York, by Austin, Jackson & Co., is
evidently prospecting. At the beginning of
this year, being the fifteenth of its publica-
ton, the old quarto was changed to maya
zine form with tinted cover and enlarged
space. Now the March number appears
printed in clear, new type, the matter en-
bracing wide range of subjects, ably
treated. Among others, we mention a lee
ture by DR.. jackson, being one of a series
for the year, giving the reasons why young
men should not drink alcoholic liquors.
This subject, upon which DR.. Jackson
has much to say, from time to time, in the
Laws, he does not treat after the common
stereotyped form, but advances a new phil
osophy, having its root in the nature of
things, with the force of which no one can
fail to be impressed and with which no one
caring for this vital subject should fail to
get acquainted. There is given, taking all
the numbers together, the details of a new
| philosophy of7li and health and the treat
ment of disease, the discussion of which
includes articles on tobacco, tea, coffee,
habits and sickness of women, dress, food,
cookery, construction and furnishing of
houses, housekeeping, care of children,
nursing Of the sick, gardening, home amuse-
ments, entertainment of company, physi-
ology, in fact very broad range of sub
jects.
Every person can have the opportunity
to see a copy of this admirable Journal for
himself by simply addressing the publish
ers, as they offer specimen numbers free.
Price $1.5o per year.
| The Golden Age discloses in its leader
"The Presidents Opportunity" 1t says:
cold party issues are dead. There are
not sound planks enough in any of the old
party platforms for a decent man to stand
upon to-day. The one real issue before
the country to-day is, Shall we have an
honest government? All other questions
are centred in that penetrating, burning
interrogation. General Grant
has the opportunity Of putting himself at
the head OF grand popular demonstration
in favor of reform, demonstration which
shall shake this continent with its magnifi-
cent tread and benefcent effects.
The way is open. The occasion
waits for the man."
"Usury Legislation" is condemned
"One of the first and most important things
legislation has to learn is what not to do"
