tinucd for eleven weeks, and the prospects Of

Of the national forge Of prddlers, sustaining
the workmen, has made them determined to
hold out to the eod, and the Messrs. Burden
are just as determined not to yield any OF
their rights on this account. The loss Of
wages TO these men hsa already been about
ESQ, 900, and this amount Ia largely increased
each week. The strike has been protracted
longer than any other strike here during the
past ten or twelve years, with the exc option
Of a six months cessation Of work some years
ago, which finally ended In the men yielding
and going to work under the old wages-AE

The ACTION Of the Wisconsin Changers
will not be acceptable to the Democrats, the
Liberal Republicans or the gentlemen who
are clamoring for new party. The resolu-
lions In favor Of the Improvement Of the Fox,
Wisconsin and Mississippi rivers and other
water channels by the General Government,
and Of controlling railroads by national legis-
latiou, will make the Jeffersonian Democrats
shudder. The Democratic party In every
State convention held during the last two
months has put Itself squarcly In opposition
to these doctrines. The Republican party Is
the only organization that has shown the
slightest disposition to take the responsibility
Of accepting them as q part Of Its platform.
The farmers are shrewd enough to see that
the free trade nostrum which the Democratic
organs offer them rs the solution Of the
transportation problem is oil nonsense and
that II Is useless to expect relief from party
that seems incapable Of understanding the
wants Of the times, and whose only character
istic during the last thirteen years has been
a blind, unreasoning opposition to progress
and advancement In every direction.
