A QUESTION AND ANSWER.

1t is and has been the practice Of those
who are too lazy to think for themselves,
and who oppose why they cannot ex-
plain-the issuance of a currency directly
| by the government to the people, to pirate
about the evils Of initiation and an ire
deemable currency y and ask with gusto
truly refreshing: How is this currency
to be redeemed :" While We have proven
a thousand times there is and can be no
such thing as all irredeemable currency,
that the moment it ceases to be re
pose to answer their conundrum in their
own way:
''Going to BE- redeemed ~" forsooth
Hasn't it already been redeemed by its
acceptance AS payment in full by the
soldier and sailor, for services rendered
when in the field, and by the cripple, when
paid as pensions, by the widow and orphan
who accepted it for all claims public and
private, the lifes blood of their husbands
and parents included But if this is not
prosaic enough-we answer to any me
chanic, who through economy and industry
has been enabled to lay aside enough to
buy farm IN the West, it is redeematle
in prairie soil-at ten shillings per acre
provided they secure it before the land
and gold gambler gobbles it in advance,
and charge them ten times that amount.
1t is redeemable in live stock and agricul-
tural implements required to till that soil
1t is redeemable in wages that pays the
lsbOrer 1t is redeemable in payment Of
freight to carry its products to the market.
When the farmer wishes to exchange his
fustian for broadcloth, and pays a visit to
the city, it is redeemable in clothes and
hotel board 1t is, in short, redeemable
for all the necessaries and luxuries Of life,
and when a fortune has been amassed, and
its possessor becomes disguised with re-
publican simplicity, and is anxious to
spend the remainder Of his days in
country wherethe money that chinks" is
the coin Of the realm-it is redeemable in
gold, in bullion, and the money broker in
London OF Frankfort will buy it much
more readilyin the bar, than when stamped
with the impress of the American eagle

The Eight Hour Law.

At meeting of delegates from labor socie-
ties interested in the Eight Hour law, held in
Boston, Mass, on the afternoon of May Z,
thirty four societies being represented by as
many delegates, to make arrangements for the
proposed mass meeting Of laboring- men at
Faneuil Hall on the evening OF May Is, at
which time similar meetings will be held in
all the other large cities Of tie country. They
are working to secure the enforcement Of the
Eight Hour law, and the removal Of the Super
vising Architect Mullett, and they hope to
get Wendell Phillips to speak for them. The
Labor Council met this evening and Endorsed
their action, and ali present signed the petit
ton for Mulletts removal ON the ground of
his opposition to the Eighth Hour law
There was also large and harmonious
meeting OF the granite cutters and sharpeners
Of Boston and vicinity, for the purpose Of es-
tablishing branches In Charleston and Cam
bridge. Complaints were received that the
granite cutters had operated against the brown
stone-cutters who were ON a strike, by cutting
brown stone when they could get the opportu-
nifty, and the Union passed resolution con-
demning such interference, notwithstanding
the fact that when the granite cutters here
struck, the brown stone workers were not
averse to filling their places. The granite
cutters acknowledge that the brown stone
cutters can cut granite well as brown stone
just now, however there are many granite
cutters out of work, owing to the dullness Of
the season and many cannot obtain work,
though they refuse 81 80 day, on the ground
that they ought TO receive $500

This very threat doubtless made for the

be the means Of arousing the wurkIugmen

lethargy in which they have sunk. But
while admitting the force Of their argu-
ment, behind it lies the pertinent ques-
uon How comes it that the men who

edy for this state of affairs, if those most
deeply interested will avail themselves Of
IT. The system which creates it can be de
stroyed root and branch. The working

The Industrial Brotherhood

At meeting Of the Industrial Brother
hood of the United States at Paterson, n
j., ON Friday, April "a, the following reso-
lutions were unanimously adopted
Resolrei, That the national banking system,
being inimical to the spirit of liberty and sub
versive of the principles of justice, cithout
scarraHt in the Constellation Of the United States,
and more fully increasing the burdens of the
wealth producing classes millions Of dollars
annually, justice, the aspiration Of honest in
dustry and the spirit Of imperiled liberty de-
mand its immediate repeal
Resolved, That to provide true national cur
rency adapted to the genius of our institutions
and the needs of the business Of the country
the circulating notes of the national banks
and the present greenbacks. which are not full
legal tender, should be withdrawn from circu-
lation and their place supplied with q curren-

state that there ia every probability of the

IuFFICtAL
TO ALL LABOR ORGANIZATION


INDUSTRIAL CONGRESS o. rHE UNITED STATES.
The Industrial Congress has Just adjourned,
after very harmonious and interesting
session Nineteen States We're represented,
and the Presidents and other officers Of nearly
all the leading labor orga iizations in the
country were present. An organization
among workmgmen somewhat similar to that
VI the Changers has been provided for, and
measures prescribed that must eventually
lead o. the redemption Of la Dor.
A resolution was adopte' calling on the
industrial classes IN every ", town and
hamlet Of the United States t. hold mass
meetings on May Is, next, for tn purpose of
protesting against the action of l 'ited States
Supervising Architect Mullett in virtually

cations in your locality, and agree upon the

tons in conformity with the Declaration of
Principles OF the Industrial Congress, a copy

people that workingmen thoroughly under
stand and oppose the frantic efforts of Wall
Street and foreign money lenders to control
the financial affairs of the nation, 90 as to
still further enrich themselves at the expense
Of the bone and sinew of the land, bring this
resolution Of the Declaration of Principles Of
the Industrial Congress before the people
with particular prominence
To prevail upon the government to estab-

capital and labor by providing a purely
national circulating medium based upon the
faith and resources of the nation, issued d.

THE NEED OF ORGANIZATION.

We direct the especial attention Of the
friends If the labor reform cause through
out the United States to the circular Of
President Schilling, published in another
column, offering premium for the best
two essays on the most available means to
organize under one banner and platform
the various industrial elements the same
to be submitted to the decision o. men
possessing the confidence Of the labofing
classes and in whose Judgment we have
the most implicit faith. The terms are
explicit cannot be misconstrued and sc
confidently expect generous response.
The necessity the absolute HcccSsity for
adopting "a constitution, liberal enough to
secure the active cooperation Of every
man and woman whose interests arr iden-
tlticG with labor, and at the same time con-
Scrrdtirc enough to exclude the adventurer
and fraud, has long been experienced by
the most advanced minds IN Labor's ranks.
The events Of the past six months have
demonstrated the necessity Of progress
slye, or rather an aggressive movement.
The interest of thousands heretofore in
different to the cause Of Labor Reform has
been awakened, and at this juncture their
views may prove acceptable, and help to
solve the problem Of the hour. The opinions
of men of broad, comprehensive ideas and
practical experience, will no doubt, mate
rally assist those to whom has been dele
gated the duty Of drafting constitution
and plan of organization for the future
government Of the Congress.
While we certainly have no desire to
dictate in any manner we believe a sys-
TEN Of organization satisfactory to the
various industrial and cooperative assocla-
tiuns, can be framed somewhat similar to
that adopted by the Social Science Congress
Of Great Britain. All concede the neces-
sity of recognizing common head-Of act
ing under one general organization, which,
at the same time, will not interfere with
the sp,cidi aims Or workings Of these socie-
ties For example certain subjects re-
quire discussion, i'll which every delegate
has direct interest, and two or three days
may be devoted to such discussion When
these questions have been disposed Of,
what is to hinder the Congress dividing
itself INTO sections part considering
those matters in which Trades Unions are
directly interested second, cooperation
and distribution F.; third, the working of
beneficiary societies a fourth, political
economy, and 50 on to the end of the
chapter all being branches of the parent
tree One fact is patent, that labor can no
longer afford to be divided against itself
The success of its future movements de
ponds on unity Of action, and this must be
secured under all circumstances. When
marshalled in one grand army-all work
ing for the common good, petty ambitions,
Aspirations and chickering's thrown to the
dogs, all fighting the common enemy, all
united, all determined, all prompted by
common sympathy and interest, labor
claims will be respected, labor's rights Sc
cured, and labor's behests obeyed. Not
