THE MINER.

The strike in the MAssillon region still
goes on with unabated vigor. Several
companies of troops are there, called in BY
the recent outrages perpetrated upon per-
sons and property. Men who attach
others who are willing TO work at terms
they refuse to accept, and abuse their per-
son, may think they are doing the cause
of labor good service, but every sensible
man knows they are the greatest enemies
to its advancement We have got. We may
think what we will Of those who differ with
us, an TO what course we will pursue 10
maintain prices, but all must realize the
fact that true liberty consists in every man
being secure and free to work for what
wages he thinks proper Take this right
away from us and and there is no freedom;
wanting sense of security in doing this
there is no liberty. Terrorism has taken
their place, and the lawless instead Of the
lAw-abiding, and the law, control our
movements. Such il the condition Of things
in that section, and the men participating
in the destruction Of the shaft property
deserve not only the condemnation OF
every friend Of liberty, but they do the
penitentisry. Their mode Of conducting
the strike has never won, and never will.
The contrary effect La always the result.
Public sympathy, however, Just their
cause, is cut of, and the forces OF the
State called in to sustain the majesty Of
the law. So long as the affair was a sim
pie contest between capital and labor, no.
body could reasonably have a word to say
against the men. That was their right
the only means of protest they have got
against what they think unfair but the
moment violence is done to person and
property all right thinking men denounce
the cause, and justly, too. No man that
is man can defend such cowardly con-
duct, and the only way to put it down is
for every man in labor's ranks who dc
aares to see labor elevated, to let those
who engage in it know in a way they can
not mistake, the thing is decidedly unpop-
ular. In putting our seal Of condemns
ton on the men who thus transgres.
the laws of the State, we must say the
way our public journals deal with the case
is also decidedly unfair. All the men Of
that region are blamed equally with the
guilty. This is by no means just Oul
correspondence is constant from that dis
trict, and none deplore with more earnest
ness those lawless acts than do the grea
majority Of men there Men are no
blind altogether. They know full vel
that conduct like what has been going o.
there last week only defeats the end it il
designed to accomplish The majority fee
thus, though they also favor the strik,
with the view to prevent the reduction il
their wages lie. us hope we have heart
the last of this mode Of settling wage
disputes.

The effort of A. o. Marshall of Braid
wood, to reply to the recent speech of the
Hon. Alex. Campbell. reminds US of a
gnat nibbling at the wing of an eagle. We
think the greatest punishment that could
be inflicted on this presumptious ignora-
mus would be to place q copy Of his har-
rangue in every homestead of the Seventh
Congressional District. His worse than
twaddle would disgrace the Friday after
noon effort Of twelve-year old school
boy. And yet the partisan journals at
tempt to praise his driveling. A. o. M,
remember silence is goIden-especially
when you undertake TO enlighten the pub
lie on question of which you do not
understand the fundamental principles.

Wants a Little Investigation.

The Cincinnati Commercial, in a recent
article, stated, on the authority Of certain
Treasury officials, that the cost Of furnish
ing the fractional currency for the last
fiscal year was S2,4lO,74 exclusive Of
handling at the respective Sub Treasures,
which will show the probable cost to be
. per cent. on the annual issue. If the
same system Of peculation exists in the
currency department a. has been in vogue
IN the other departments Of the govern
ment, is 1t any wonder that the fractional
currency costs so much to issue itl
Besides, little reformation in the de-
partment would be desirable. Is it abso-
lutely necessary to have 50 many " series
OF small notes There is no person bene-
fitted by the system but the printing and
engraving rings. Moreover, there are
thousands of those fractional notes de-
stroyed before they leave the department.
Why not have one uniform plate, and all
be struck off alike : Counterftinp is no
more obstructed by having a variety of
one class than by having one class. If
they mean to counterfeit, they will do it
despite all precautions that may be taken
to the contrary. There is a niger some
where in the fence. Let us investigate

Capt. Webb, the great swimmer, writes
in Cdssetrs Family MagassRe 60 1t is the
duty Of every parent to insist on his sons
learning to swim. To teach very young
child to swim, the best place is large
puddle in the sand at low tide. The child,
like young puppy. will begin by padding.
IL YOU throw q cork into the water, you
will see the puppy run in up TO its depth
and give a short bark; and the chances
are, especially if there il q grown up dog
that can swim to set him an example, that
in day or two he will take his plunge of
his own accord; and very proud he will be
Of his first attempt-only here, again,
don't overdo it, As soon as the puppy
has been in, walk away, and call him, and
he will be more anxious to 60 into the
water another time. Now, treat your
child like your puppy. Entice him to 60
in, and if you can get some Older child
who can swim to 20 in with him, all the
better; but let the child do Just an he likes.
Get two children to play ct splashing one
another; they will enjoy the fun, and grad
uslly getting excited, will venture In
deeper and deeper"

ly adopted
Resolred, That we are favor of the follow
ing general principles and measures
l. An exclusive government currency, to
be issued in such volume as will meet the
average demands of the country.
2. That the government paper currency
should be inter convertible into government
bonds Of long time and low interest, at the
will of the holder, and be receivable for all
public dues, including customs.
8. That the act of 1875. called the re-
sumption act, should be Immediately re-
pealed.
4. That, As soon as practicable, govern
ment paper currency should supercede the
circulation of the national banks
5. That for the present there should be q
wisely discriminating tariff for revenue
only.
s. That our common schools should be
free, non-partisan, and non-sectarian.
7. A general civil-service reform.
N. Ii. Wood offered the following, in sub
stance, which was added to the platform
That currency issued by private individuals
or corporations necessitated the boarding Of
gold, which has always given at the beet but
fictitious value, and is obviated by the gov
eminent issuing the currency.

A Lie Nailed.

The report has been industriously circu-
lated by interested parties that the con
vention Of the Independent party, to be
held at Indianapolis, May II, for the
nomination Of President and Vice Presi-
dent Of the United States, had been post
poned, is false in every respect. The
convention will be held and nominations
will be made. The lie is too transparent
to have any appreciable effect.

The RICHEST JOKE or THE SEASON
The Washington correspondent Of the New
York Herald claims that Col. VIM. r.
Morrison, the hard money Bourbonized
fossil could car illinois and Indiana as a
presidential candidate, and the Bellville
Democrat, his home organ, says amen
This is what we call lying with a ven
geance. Bill Morrison couldn't carry half a
dozen counties in this State, and no one
knows this better than his penny-a-line
henchman.

The enemies Of the greenback currenc,

The enemies Of the greenback currency
delight to call it a rag currency, and con-
temptuOusly call it greenback rags Well
suppose they are rags-what Of it + The
star-spangled Banner itself is only rag ;
our Bible and our books are rags; the
worlds history is written and printed on
rags the moral tablets Of literature are
only craven on rags the monumental
tones of classic lore that shed their beacon
light from the worlds dawn are rags form
base to capital the papyrus rolls Of an
cient Egypt and the ponderous folios of
Confucius, that antedate tradition itself,
are rags, and yet the gleanings Of the
ravished mines OF Golconda, all the sold Of
Oph1r, and the bled wealth of Ormus and
Ind, would not weigh q pennyweight
against their value. Suppose then, that
some people do call the peoples money rag!

WE think the thrusting forward Of the
claims OF this or that candidate, either by
Vhe press or convention, is in exceeding
bad taste. We wouldn't give button for
PSedged delegation. While a kindness
may be implied by the expression of such
preferences, it is the surest method which
can be employed to kill any chance which
the "favorite % candidate may have Of
securing the nomination.

Symptoms of a Diseased LIVER.
DAN in the right side, under the edge
Of the ribs, increases on pressure
sometimes the pain is in the eftside; the
patient is rarely able to lie on the left
side; sometimes the pain is felt under
the shoulder blade, and it frequently ex-
tends to the top of the shoulder, and IS
sometimes mistaken for rheumatism IN
the arm. The stomach is affected with
loss ofappetite and sickness; the bowels
in general are costive, sometimes alterna-
tive with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied With dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There IS
generally considerable loss ofmenory,
accompanied with painful sensation OF
having left undone something which
ought TO have been done. A slight, dry
cough is sometimes an attendant. The
patient complains OF WEAKNESS and de-
bility; he is easily startled, his feet are
cold or burning, and he complains OF
prickly sensation of the skin; his spirits
are low and although he is satisfied that
exercise would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred wherefe ofthem existed,
vet examination ofthe body, after death,
has shown the LIVER to have been eX-
tensively deranged.
