Swiss CarVers.

Some interesting facts about the
wood-carving industry of the Ber-
nese Oberland are given in a recent
official report from Mr.. Jenner. This
industry, which does not date farther
back than 1915, now furnishes en-
ployment for upwards Of two thous-
and workmen, and within the last
few years the sales have risen to an
average of nearly 100000. These
sums have suficed to spread ease
over districts the inhabitants of
which were formerly much pinched
by want; the work, too, is of such q
nature that it does not interfere with
many other avocations. The cow
herd and shepherd tending their
flock in the Alpine pastures, the
charcoal burner watching his fires,
and the peasant families sitting
around their stoves during the long
winter evenings, can, at the expense
of little physical exertion, add great
ly to their stores of comforts by
means of some little skill in carving.
A very large proportion of the
cheaper articles are actually produce
ed in this manner. The wages of
regular workmen range from one to
eight francs a day. Almost every
variety of timber may be utilized ;
fir, lime, walnut, oak, pear and ap-
ple-trees, have all their special appli-
cations, and of late years the most
renowned makers have taken to carv-
ing "palissandre," or rosewood, ma
hogany, cedar, &c. Side by side
with the wood-carving industry, but
greatly surprising it in pecuniary re-
suits, is the manufacture of parquets,
which is of still more recent intro
duction. This trade is carried on in
eighteen out of the twenty-five can
tons of Switzerland, and is now in
the most fourishing condition. AS
nearly as can be ascertained, the an
nual production of the twenty odd
establishments which carry it on
reaches the value of $4,000 franc:

until the last one had found a death bed,
rather than quietly submit to the tyrannous
legislation in store for their states. But
they trusted to the overtures of Mr.. Lincoln,
they believed that laying down their
arms was to be followed by peace. They
never for r moment supposed that they were
tosurrender all right TO govern themselves az
states like other states of the Union. Tho
retention of their arms ia the terms OF sur
render implied this. But how cruelty they
were disappointed, the records of misruIe over
the South and by carpet baggers in the
South sbundsntly attest. They were de-
frsuded Of their right to express their will
at the polls, while the ignorant blacks were
msrshsled In herds to register the will of the
leaders of the Republican congress at Wash

manage their own affairs, some outrage
was concocted and produced TO fire
again the Northern heart, that
stronger and more CALLING chains might be
forged to fetler them. 1t was there under
this congressional domination, that the in
iquitous legislation occurred that piled up
the debts OF the Southern states mountain
high. Such scoundrels as Bullock and
others Of that ilk reaped the benefit. II
comes in bad grace from the Journal or any
Republican paper to reprosch the South
with their debts which have accrued since
the war. The Journal might just well
charge upon Democrats the debt of this city
contracted under Republican rule, and
through Republican extravaganza. What
ever have been the mistakes, faults or even
crimes of the Southern states against patri-
otism, this charge that the Journal now
brings OF insolvency should not be laid TO
their door as a fault, but placed
to the credit, or rather discredlt, of the Re
publican party, to its csrpet-bag satrsps, to
lis infamous legislation that wrested the
state governments out of the hands of the
men qualified to administer the laws, and
placed them in the hands Of sordid, mental
and thieving scoundrels, who have recklessly
wasted and stolen all they could get their
hands on, and then strained the credits OF

tions OF the world. But Mr.. SchurZ will
ignore all this. and see nothing but con-
tinusl multiplication of greenb eks until
cart load possessed by a hungry man would
not buy him his morning meal. Mr.. Schurz
says that contraction is not the cause of the
crisis, and this, too, in the very face of his
declaration that the banks are full of money.
If it is tied up there, is not contraction just as
real, as far as trade, commerce and enterprise
Is concerned, as If it were in the treasury
ofthe United States. or cancelled and burned?
1t Is the threat of resumption that has
stopped the circulation, that boards up the
money in banks, that has stopped manu-
featuring enterprise, that has crippled COM
merce, that has deprived the people Of
market for their labor. Is Mr.. ScbrrZ candid
in this7 These examples afford specimens
of the csDdor of Mr.. Schurz's arguments.
They are specious, artful, aim to be popular
and captivating, and they are nothing more.
He battles against the peTyersions OF Demo-
cratic doctrine and policy, but he offers
nothing in the way of better policy. He
does not tell US whether be has yet
had an answer to the questions
that he put again and again to Sherman ia
| Congress, as to how the government could
res ume without tine gold to pay with. He
then urged the retiring OF greenbacks by
monthly contraction as the only method OF
reducing the finances OF the country TO a
normal condition, and predicted just what
has come to pass in determining to resume
by resolution and making no provision for
it. Now he battles in the interest OF that
measure. BE is uncandid and dishonest
with the people. He preteuds to distrust
the Republican party, laments over corrup-
ton in high place, Credit Mobiliers, and
whisky rings, and INDUCES in deep and pa
| triotic concern for true constitutional govern
ment, all for the purpose OF appealing to
Democrats to vote with that party which
has fostered these things.
His whole speech has the tone of the paid
attorneys address, despite bis assumptions
of patriotism, honesty and candor. This
last effort of the bondholders, this, that was
! to be, the final crushing blow, will be fruit
| less, ard Democrats will turn deafear to this
paid attorneys persuasive eloquence. 1t Is
not candid or fair. 1t Is specious but false.
His assumptions OF superior patriotism are
impudent, and his affeetation of financial
wisdom is disgustingly egotisticsl.
He may complete his canvass through Ohio,
but he can not complete the sale of the Ger.
man people, or deliver them over to the hands
of the money power. Mr.. Schurz has lowered
himself as statesman, and injured bis rep
utation as fair and candid man by this
speech. A very large fee indeed would not
seem ad quate to repay an honest or hon
orable man for what be has attempted to do.

diana. They have been growing in utility
and effectiveness from year to year, until
they are now among the best schools in The
country. The state owes TO every child
within Der bounds al education sufficient to
qualify him for the duties OF citizenship;
aud Indiana has noblv met this obligation.
Tue people Of Indiana are indebted to The
Democratic party for their system of com
mon schools and for the money that mainly
supports it. 1t was Democratic legislation
that created the magnificent school fund that
enables the children of the state to be edu-
Gated at the public expense. The only thing
the Repu blicau party has done affecting the
funds was to Law hands on it, and use it tor
purpose other than the one for which
1t was created. The journal has claimed
that the Republican party is a debt-payIng
party, and 80 it is, when it can find funds
ready at hand for its uses. 1t took from the
school fund nearly four million of dollars
and applied IL to paying the debt OF the
state. For this money the state gave a
non negotiable bond, and the interest on
this bond goes to tie support of the schools.
IL is probable that the school fund derives as
much income from the money thus invested
as it would have done had it been placed
in other securities, but the Republican
party Is entitled TO no credit for paying off
the state debt, for it merely washed one
hand with the other-"robbed Peter to pay
Paul" Therefore, there is 20 Justice in the
claim OF the Journal that its party liquidsted
the state debt, or did anything toward
creating the magnificent school fluid with
which Indiana is blessed. 1t was Democratic
legislation that made this fund, and Demo-
cratic legislation will preserve it. The
Democracy will also see that the common
schools OF the state not only maintain their
present efficiency, but that they keep pace
with the improvements of the aga.
