THE GREENBACK FLAG

A correspondent, for whom we enter
tain a great respect, takes US to task for
the advice given TO our subscribers III
Ohio, TO support the Democratic State
ticket in the ensuing election. While we
cheerfully concede to him the right We
claim for ourselves the right Of private
Judgment his party bias-too plainly de-
veloped destroys entirely the force of
his argument.
We deny e, totd the charge that any
Labor Reformer compromises himself ~
principles by voting for Gov. Allen on the
platform adopted at Columbus. On the
contrary, the Democrats have adopted,
fairly and squarely, the financial princi
plies of the Industrial Congress and the
Independents, and We intend to follow
that greenback flag under any and al ci-
cuptStanceS no matter from what source
the opposition comes.
Let us even grant, for the sake Of argu-
mont, that expediency dictated its incor-
poration. What then The issue is
plainly before the voters of Ohio, and We
think they have as much patriotism, in
telhgence, and common sense, as the citi-
zens Of any other State. We are aware
the Eastern Democracy are as much OPP
posed to the greenback as the Eastern Re
publicans that representative men III the
Democratic party would rather chronicle
defeat than victory under its banner, be-
cause such defeat would, in their judg-
ment, secure hard money platform in the
National Convention but is that not, we
ask, an unanswerable argument in favor
Of Labor Reformers doing their duty and
their whole duty in the premises ;
Again. Let us take the gloomiest view
Of the situation that the veriest nissan
thrope can desire. Suppose the Demo
Gratis Of Ohio are defeated by 10, 700 aye,
by 10000 majority Suppose, further,
that both parties, basing their action ON
that result, adopt specie resumption
plank What next The Independents
can place a ticket IN the field on fair,
square issue aye, and elect their nomi-
nees by an overwhelming majority. Eu-
pertaining these views, \. e cannot do other
wise than urge every workingman in the
Buckeye State to use his influence and his
vote to secure the triumph Of those candi-
dates who ask his suffrage on principles,
the adoption of which will inevitably Sc
cure his freedom from capitals domi-
nation

Workingmen Support your Trade Jour

The versatility and ability displayed by
the editors or our trade journals have fire.
quently surprised us, and certainly COM
pare favorably with that developed by the
editors Of our scientific or manufacturing
periodicals.. Calm, conservative, logical,
and sincere in their arguments, their teach
ings, if followed, would do more to create
and perpetuate healthy sentiment among
the industrial classes than any other agency
with which we are acquainted. We insist,
therefore, it is the duty Of those for whose
interest they are contending, to give them
a cordial and undivided support. 1t is to
Ldbor's ranks they must look and on labor's
ranks they must depend, if success is ex-
pected to crown their efforts. So long as
workingmen prefer to patronize those
sheets which SANDER and misrepresent
them, and give the cold shoulder to papers
devoted to their interests, they have no
Just cause of complaint-when their de-
mands for justlce are treated with con-
tumely and contempt.

feature of the law has the tendency of
clearing the country of small manufacture

which is contrary to the spirit of American
institutions.

IRDE TRADE.

The quantity Of pig iron Of all kinds
which was Oh hand and unsold at the close
Of 1874, in the hands Of makers or their
agents was 795, 784 net tons. Tic guam
tity which was held by speculative parties,
or was in the hands of creditors or III the
hands of consumers, was undoubtedly large
SO that at the close Of 1874, the total guam
tity Of pig iron in the country, exclusive
Of tho small stocks Of foreign iron, may be
safely estimated at 1000, 900 tons. Al
though more furnaces have blown out since
the first Of January than have been blown
in, the quantity of iron that has been
made since then, joined to the 1000, COG
tons then on hand, has been entirely too
large to exercise any other than depress-
ing effect on the market.

A SUBSIDIZED lackey, who publishes a

the labor movement as the devil does for

ence to the Cleveland Greenback Coven-

IRENE modesty to dub himself Colonel j.!

THE TribWae's last steal, when reduced
to figures, amounts to this. Berg moves
and the Tribune seconds the motion, to
increase the interest ON the public debt
81. $50. 600, in gold, and gives this nice lit
tie plumb to the audscious bond robbers for
their sharpness. Like other similar steals
hbis one looks simple and innocent enough
presented by the Tribune So did that
other steal which the Tribune helped lob
by through. making bonds payable in gold.
But that Tribune robbery increased the
public debt nearly $500, 600, 600, and yet
MediIl pretends to be honest.

We are truly grati6ed to learn that sev-
eral of the officials Of our National Organ
izations are interesting themselves in be-
half Of Mr.. Siney, and propose to bring
the merits of his case before their local

shows the prevalence of . healthy senti-
ment. There is no Disgusting the fact that
the conviction of Mr.. Siney would be re-
garded as direct blow at trades unionism,
and heralded over the country a. such.
The fact that this man has committed no

"Mr. Chairman. This is the first
time inmy life that have appeared be-
fore body Of teachers, and | do not
feel able to discuss the subject of school
work, or school teaching, but as have
sat during the week and listened to
your discussions and witnessed the ex-
crcises of your institute, the idea very
forcibly suggested itself that more than
the mere cultivation of the mind and
the development Of the mental facul-
ties is intrusted to the charge Of the
teacher, that which we should value
much higher than and Of infinitely
more Importance than either, the Phys,
ical development of our children. This
requires much more care and attention
than | fear many Of you are able to
give il, from the fact that the great
mass OF the teachers give this subject
but little thought How many of the
teachers present possess fair knowl'
edge of the science of anatomy, physi
ology, or hygiene Perhaps you have
not thought that such knowledge is a
requisite of the school teacher, as wei
as the physician, but lot me assure
you there are no studies thewhole cat

school room than these.

through life, will tend to impair the
