Ed. Shepherdstown Register re-
jOicc to see, in the course of your paper,
that YOU wish the people to have all tie
facts, and 10 be enabled TO Judge for
themselves indsDfnaemig OF the man;p-
ula.ions of the hireling pimps OF protrs-
sionai politicians and ofhcc-scekerS.
Such should be the spirit of every paper
in the land that relies upon the support
of the people, and if instead of taking
their cue from the big dniiies, that ,ara
all bought up, or owned. by the money
oligarchieS and mouopolies, the country
papers would do their duty and honest
ly inform the people, the eighty p"
cent OF the people, who live in the conu-
try, would soon be free from the men
fy per- cent OF city people, who, now,
tho they leave them the occupation,
are, rs far rs the profits are concerned,
pretty much the owners OF the land
and people too. | incloSe yon an cx-
tract from the New Haven Union, head,

Age, aud hope you will publish, ~

Summit Point, Aug. 27th, 1876.
The New Haven Union of the Ifjh.
has the following. 1t has food for re
ticclion Tor every working man and pa
triotic citizen in the land. And let eN-
cry reader reflect that the present con
diliOn of things is the result Of miSman-
management on the part of both the
old parties, aud the present incubus on
the labor and resources of the country
will he continued, accelerated with the
endorsement OF the nation, let either
l'ildcn or Hayes be elected.
Eds. of Age-'It is estimated that
there are about 100000 workers, men,
women and children, in this country,
aud their labor averages about fifteen
dollars per week in good times. At
the present time ii does not average ten
dollars per week. Multiply the live
dollars lost by S,0Oo,O0O and we have
the enormous sum of i).O00,0J) per
week, which the producing class has TO
90 without. The 4D0)0OD) represents
SO much less groceries, fuel and cloth
ing, and various articles that enter into
home consumption. In the year tho
sum lost 10 productive industry fOots
up to the gigantic total Of S2,0S),0JJ,
600! How long can the country stand
such a drain The figures are really
appalling, and are calculated to s,arllc
the unthlnking. 1t was the miserable,
shiltlcss, pundcring financial policy of
the republican party which prccipilatcd
the present busincss stagnalion upon
the country, aud cid parii0 to-day are
advocating the continuance Of that pol.
