THE INDUSTRIAL CONGRESS.

The industrial congress, now in session
at Cleveland, Ohio, is composed of dele
gates from all the cooperative associations
in the United States. 1t is composed of
representative men in all branches of labor
and the members, judging from their de-
alterations and action, seem to be men who
have given the subjects, which they were
called together to discuss, much considera-
ton and deep thought. They recognize the
true relation between labor and capital.
Capital is comparatively worthless unless
supplemented by labor, and labor is more or
less dependant upon capital. There should
be no strife between the two. There need
be none, because they are, dependant upon
one another and both are needed to make a
complete harmonious whole The time is
coming when this fact will be realized and
acted upon, and this congress has taken
a step in the right direction. The whole
trouble in times past-and it is, measurably,
so now-bas been that wealth has COM
bined with wealth and, thereby, formed
monopolies, which have sought to Cypress
the people, but more especially labor
There has been an instance of this, very re-
Gently, close by our own borders. The
fact was, or seemed to be, that the truth
was lost sight of, that the ''laborcr is wor-
thy of his hire" 1t has been very rarely
that laboring man has demanded greater
compensation than his services were reas-
onably worth, and while we have never
condemned the effort upon the part of any
labOring man to obtain u remuneration.
commensurate with his services and based
somewhat upon the cost of the necessaries
of life, we have always felt that the meth
dds selected for making their desires known
and cndeavoring to enforce their, perhaps,
reasonable demands, were all wrong, con-
trary to the genius of our institutions and
are, therefore, pleased to see this industrial
congress taking the same view of the mat
ter, and condemning strikes, which they
say arc casually detrimental to the inter-
csts' of both employer and employc, and
that it is, therefore evidently necessary to
devise more pcaceable plan of settling
such difficulties They recommend that
"all unions adopt the system of arbtra-
ton" and trust that some plan may be
adopted, by law, for the purpose of carry
ing out such a system. We are glad to sec
such recommendation coming from so
numerous and influential body of men,
and trust that it will be so acted upon, that
the two really concomitant forces-labor
and capital may never, hereafter, be dis
cordant, but that each may combine and

purpose of taxation, and 1t seems to be, in
their idea, highly creditablc as well as
economical, to buy goods in Canada and
cunningly bring them home without at
tracing the attention of custom house
officers, or paying duties thereon. The
laws of the land are thereby violated, the
revenue defrauded, money taken out of the
country, and the legitimate profits and
trade of our own citizens appreciably d.
minished. These same men would denounce
smuggling, but they, themselves, are moth.
ing but smugglers. What is the difference
between a robbery of the government by
clerk in its employ and the same act CON-
mitted by one of its citizens Official in
tegrty must have its root and foundation
in private virtue Anything that tends to
debauch the morals of the individuals,
forming the public, must have its effect
upon the actions of these self same persons
or persons who may have been influenced
by their conduct-when called to official
station. Let us be as outspoken in the one
case as the other. One who under the garb
of responsibility dcfrauds the government
is more to be feared, in his influence upon
the public morals, that dozen dcfaulting
paymasters or peculating clerks. The root
of the evil lies in the fact that respccta-
BILE }" men deem 1t honorable to save few
dollars by delrauding the public, while they
would scorn to cheat an individual.

The pOlaris Expedition.

The discoveries made by Capt. Hall and
his command receive renewed importance
and interest just at present from the views
given by one of the most eminent geo.
graphcrs, Dr. Petermann, in recent letter.
Speaking of the Polaris enterprise the Doc
tor says ''To me the geographical results
of the expedition appear of extraordinary
value. At any rate they are the highest
that any vessel among the numerous expe-
ditions of all nations to the North and South
poles have ever yet accomplished since
many centuries" This judgment from
such a source must be of great scientific in
terest to all gcographers and men of travel
The search for tire Polaris is being Wig
orously prosecuted, and both the Juniata
and the Tigress are straining every nerve
to get news of the lost vessel. The Juniata
is endcavoring to send out an expedition
before the Tigress arrives at Disco. and its
officers have high hopes of being the first
to get tidings from the lost Poaris, intend
ing to send steam launch, if the ice per-
mits, as far as Cape York, should no news
be received of her fate before.
A number of the crew of the Juniata have
managed to desert by a shrewd maneuvIe.
The deserters Tor several days evinced
great reluctance to proceeding on the voy-
age to Greenland, and watching their OPP
portunity, they left at Il preconcerted sig
nal, while the vessel was coaling. There
were ten descrters in all some were cap
tured while others are still at large.
