\ HOUSEHOLD NECESSITY. IF our read
ers knew of the real merits of Renne'
Magic Oil, we are sure they would make a
place for it on their sideooard or shelf at
once. For burns, scalds, sprains, colds, in
fammatory complaints, and in fact nearly
all the aches, pains aud ills that the hui
man frame is heir to, there is no medicine
sold that excels, il it equals this popular
pain relieyer. VIM. Renne is no quack:-
He is one of the first citizens of Pittsield,
Mass. and his reputation for integrity and
perfect upright dealing, in everything. is
one that he would never risk on an I'M

TIE REPUBLICAN PARTY GOING
UNDER,
It is used up In Indiana, Ohio
and West Virginia.
And Terribly Shattered in Iowa ana
Nebraska.

Ohio has totally busted the Republican
party, electing the Democratic State ticket
by a big majority, supposed to be from
Is. 600 to 5000, and elected probably IA
Democrats and Republicans TO congress.
Indiana has gone and done the same
thing. and thus gained U. s. senator.
West Virginia has little or no Republi-
can party left.
Iowa Republicans have their heads
barely above water One more storm and
they 60 under.
And Nebraska is futtering in the wind
barely saved to Republicanism for one
more year, and then she, as we'll as Iowa,
will kick the corrupt old fraud to the dogs
Dakota, we are personally glad to say,
has elected our old friend jeff Kidder to
congress. The opposition, up there, had
two or three conventions and nominated
two or three candidates were "all tore
up" couldn't hitch teams and work to-
gether at all, and so were beaten and de-
serve to be everywhere when they behave
that way jeff is clever fellow--onc of
our old Vermont friends. He was Dem
ocrat in Vermont; was Democratic state
senator from Orange county, and one
year Democratic lieut.. governor. When
he took Horace Greeley's advice and went
West, he Topped" aud got U. S, judge
ship. He is not Republican at heart,
and will act Independently. He is man
of ability, and when Dakota becomes a
state we want to see jeff one of the U. S
senators, provided he keeps his indepen
dence and don't hang to the rotten old
sinking hulk of the Republican party.

\ Communication from the Rapid, CITY Miners

A Communication from the Rapids City Miners
To the Editors Of the Rock Island Argus
Please publish the following comm uni
cation and oblige host of coal miners:
On Friday, the 9th, the mine owners Of
Rapids City, Hampton, Cleveland aud
Rriar Bluff held meeting in one Of the
parlors of the Harper House for an inter
change of views i'll regard to the present
strike, and as they 1.-THE mine owners) have
represented their own side of the case, and
that not fairly, we ask hearing.
They state that we demand 81. 40 per
ton, which is not the case. Our demand
is $l.25 per ton, which we consider per-
fectly right and just. The mine owners
know that our demand is just, but they
propose to grind US 1.-THE miners) down to
the smallest figure in order to fill their
own Golfers. Furthermore, the mine own
ers, comparing prices, took good care to
pick places where the mine owners, or op-
orators, take the coal from the face, or
where the miners load it; whereas, we
push our own coal to the bottom of the
shaft or slope, which every miner will tell
you makes difference of at least one cent
per bushel. We have always got the raise
of one cent per bushel on the LIST of Octo-
Der, which is our present demand.
Now, MIR. Editor. we don't want any
thing but what is right, and for the right
we propose to fight. MANY MINERS.
The daily Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1873-1877, 1874-10-15

We publish the foregoing with pleasure.
and shall always give labor chance to be
heard through our columns.
We judge from what we have heard,
from both sides, that the miners in the
employ of Heagy & Stoddard, last Jan
uary made an agreement to work for 81
for Is months from that time; and that,
in consequence of that agreemeet, large
contract was taken for certain supply
during that IS months, and that this con-
tract could not have been secured without
that agreement, as coal had declined and
the demand was not equal to the supply.
IF this is true, of course the miners then
engaged in Heagy & Stoddard's mines, who
voluntarily made that agreement last Jan
uary, and reduced the price from 81, 25 to
81, in order to secure that contract, can
not now honorably 60 back on their agree
ment and leave Heagy e. Stoddard in the
lurch. So much seems plain.
As to the other mines, of course if the
men engaged there had nothing to do with
this contract or agreement they are not
bound by it, and it is their right and privi-
lege to ask any price they please for their
work, and refuse to work at all unless they
get it. It is simply question Of
what is right and fair between
men. Ifcoal operators cannot do business
without loss, when paying $l.25, then NJ
man ought to expect them to pay tina
price. Whether they can pay that price
and save anything depends somewhat upor
their facilities for producing and market
ing their product. An arbitrary price O
81. % for all mines might leave some oper
ators profit and entail loss upon Others
Still, after all, the wages of labor mus
mainly be governed by supply and demand
like any other commodity. If plenty 0
miners can be procured for 81, then tina
will be the price If not, then more wage
Il must be offered or the mines closed.
e 1t seems to us that he farer way, in a
;. cases, would be for the operators to tax
the coal where it is mined. That woul
u put every miner on an equality, as far {
advantage of position is concerned.
e miners are required, as our correspondent
! says, to push the coal from the plac

money in given time. But if the opera

should be Used!

THEIR REPUTATION Is ESTABLISHED.
Thousands of testimonials have been received
showing that these POWDERS have performed
miracles in curing cases of long standing, many o
them considered hopeless.
THERE Is NO RISK IN TAKING THEM.
They contain nothing injurious, and, therefore
cause none of the lingering diseases often the
result OF the many nostrums of the day. Physicians
recommended them AS superior to Quinine or any
other known remedy, for they leave the system in
healthy STATE and the patient beyond the probable
ity OF relapse.
