Hard Times and Low wages.

There seems to Be determination all over
the country, and particularly in our mining
regions, says the Allentown Democrat, to vote
for better timeks which can only be brought
about BY general route Of the Radical party,
horse, foot and dragons. All business is at
4 stand still, and in spite Of the good times
promised the laboring men by the Grant
party, the times are growing fearfully worse
every day. Very few are fortunate In secur-
ing labor and those that have work are living
on half time and reduced wages. Tbs pros
poets for the fall and winter are exceedingly
gloomy to the workingmen. There is but one
way Of correcting these evils, and the half
employed, half paid and half fed toiling masses
throughout the state will arise in their might
in November and administer a singing rehuke
to the present Radical party, the sole authors
Of low wages and hard times. A change must
be for the better, and it viii not come until
the good old Democratic party is placed at
the helm. A change in the administration Of
affairs cannot make the times any worse.
The evidences Of the dullness Of the
times multiply on every hand. Look at
the price Of grain, how can the farmers
get along at such rates for their produce.
The mechanics and laboring men are
suffering, and the merchants are complain
ing for the want Of trade, while mining
and manufacturing languish. The news-
papers are filed with announcements such
as these:
The Cotton and Wooden Mills Of Rhode
Island. are running on reduced time.
The Mann "a of,sr1uf. Roa ~ Of fro Ia fsf Eall
River, Mass. decided TO cut down the working
time in their mills to three days this week,
and four days in each succeeding week until
the FIRST of January.
A meeting Of the Pennsylvania branch Of
the Lumbermen's Exchange was held at VIII
Transport Tuesday, at which twas determined
TO reduce the production Of sawed lumber to
twothirds the average cutting Of the last two
years. The mill owners are constrained to
take this course on account Of the low price OF
lumber and the large stock now on hand.
A telegram from Providence announces a
general compliance on Che part of cotton and
woolen manufacturers to place the mills on
short time. The mills viii be operated on q
basis of fory-four hours per week, estimated
to reduce the current production one.third,
this arrangement to continue from October
instant to January, 1875.
The finances ofthe country are deranged
prices are unsteady and viii continue to b
50, until we get back to a specie basis, and
until our taxes are lessened by an econ
omical administration Of the government
The Republican party have been in power
for period Of thirteen years. They are
profuse in their promises to the people,
but things are getting worse instead Of
better Is il not time for changer lie,
the response be an affirmative one, at the
ballot box in November.

From present indications the Ross abb
duction ease, like the Beecher scandal,
win probably end in a suit for libel. Some
days ago letter from Germantown cor
respondent appeared in the Reading Eagle,
which gave theory Of the abduction that
is exceedingly plausible, if the facts on
which it is based are true. This cores
pendent alleged that owing 10 the dissolute
habits Of Mr.. Ross his wife left him some
years ago, and that the woman who now
claims to be his wife is not the mother Of
his children Upon this showing the cor
respondent suggested that the most natural
explanation Of the child's disappearance
would be that his own mother had procur
ed his abduction. And now Mr.. Ross
says that all this is utterly false, and is
about to bring libel suit against the
Reading Eagle for publishing the aforesaid
letter.

driven by the Littlestown mail carrier, on
Tuesday Of last week, became unmanageable
at Stonersyille. While waiting for the mail to
be changed the horse began kicking, upseting
the wagon, breaking it nearly into pieces.
The driver was assisted to his feet by one of
the workmen in the shop of Stoner, Son L
Co. The damages were repaired as far as
possible, and another start was made. Every
thing being ready the driver attempted to
start but the horse jumped and kicked until
he broke loose again, ran against buggy,
and upset things generally in front of the
shop, fell on harrow, ran into the black
smith shop knocking things around generally,
broke through the back door, ran against q
fence and broke down a panel, and in at
tempting to break through another fence was
thrown to the ground; finding that he could
proceed no further he allowed himself to be
caught by Miss Sallie Stoner. The mail driver
finding it impossible TO drive him, mounted
his back and proceeded on his way.
