HARVEST WAGES.

The Changers have been charged
with having made the effort to reduce
the wages for harvest hands. This Is
mistake. As an organization they do
not discuss such questions. The Grange
is composed of farmers, laborers and
mechanics, rot employed by monopo-
lists. There is no good reason, why
every mechanic and laborer in this
county, except the employees of the Is.
& o. X. r., could not be Changers.
The basis is identity of interest The
interest of those classes is the same,
hence, if properly instructed they are
all Changers in principle, if not in
name.
A little observation will satisfy the
complainants, that some OF those VINO
paid the highest wages were Changers,
and some of the most strenuous advo-
Gates for $2per day were not grangers.
Other considerations fixed the price, viz:
the locality, the amount of work requlr-
ed, the efficiousness of the hands and the
quality of the crop.
Some farmers having heavy wheat,
and requiring more work of their hands,
can afford to pay more.
Every thoughtful man knows that
the price OF labor depends on supply
and demand. When hands are scarce,
the price is high, and vice versa.
1t depends also on the ability Of the
emnloyer TO nav. Farmers never as a
class, were as poor as now. They have
plenty work for mechanics and laborers,
but have not the money to pay them.
Hence, there ale few improvements be-
ins made, and ideness prevails. If the
farmer prospers, all vii! prosper. lie
can buy aud pay. He can employ la
borers and mechanics at fair wages.
Let all lay aside their prejndices, and
look at things rs they are. Il,

A GREAT POSSIBILITY.

Tho news from St. Louis intimates
that Tilden is master of the situation and |
will certainly be nominated. II that
is borne out by the subse-
quent action Of the Convention, the path |
will be cleared for one Of the closest and
most interesting Presidential campaigns
that has occurred since the candidature
OF Henry Clay. On the Republican side
Hayes will command its full strength, as
we'll of its leaders as Of the rank and file,
He is man of pure private character
and whose public record is entirely free
from stain. His talents and acquire
ments are shining and be is possessed
of eminent illustrative ability. Those
who know him best claim for him all
those virtues that could be desired in one
aspiring to the Office of Chief Executive
OF thee United States. Therefore, there
Is every reason to believe that whatever
strength his party boasts will be drawn
to his support. Tilden, on the other
hand, in addition to great natural ability
and extensive intellectual culture, pos
sesses in the highest degree the gift Of
administrative and executive ability.
He is born leader and in the condu ct
of public affairs has shown such IN
doubted power and resource as to wiring
praise from the bitterest foe. His char
actfr, public and private, is unstained
and unimpeschable, and places him far
above calumny or reproach. Thus the
two champions are foes worthy of each
others steel, and whoever falls, bis over
throw will not be embittered by the
thoughts that an ignoble antagonist
was the cause of his undoing.
Circumstances and the demagogueism Of
the so.called Republican leaders, have
narrowed The area on which the battle
will be fought. The course taken by
Blaine, Morton, Conkling and the Gin
cinnati convention, has made the issue q
sectional struggle. That fact has there.
fore determined in advance the result in
tbirty-one States Of the thirty.eight, in
cludiug sColorado. The debatablt
ground includes New York, Florida
Oregon. California, Nevada, Colorado
and Indiana. With those exceptions
and Connecticut and New Jersey, oil thu
North. East and West will 90 Republi
can. With the exception Of Florida ant
South Carolina, the south will cast he
votes for the Democratic nominee
Thus then on the Pacific Coast, in th
everglades Of Florida, the green Wales O
Indiana and the proud Empire State wi
be heard above all the dim and turmo
OF political warfare. The vote of Ne,
York will determine the result OF th
struggle. Seeing this, IT must be con
ceded that the st. Louis Conventio
will be guided with the very wisest dis
eretion il it selects Tllden as its standar
bearer. No living man has so great
hold on the affections of his fellow cit
zens of New York as Samuel j. Tildel
the man who smashed the Canal an
Tammany rings and punished the
leaders.

The SUICIDE AT SILVER CIrY.-The
Lyon County Times OF yesterday gives
the particulars of the death Of s. W. Hill.
caused by taking morphine. 1t says,
THE night before he had been drinking
quite heavily and remarked to some
friends that be had mind to put an end
to his life. At q late hour he was con.
veyed to his house by gentleman who
found him in helpless condition in the
street. To this man he expressed a
wish for strychnine, saying that he was
tired OF life and wanted to quit the world.
Hill had for some weeks been Intoxicated
so many time and so violently that he
was unable to attend fully to the duties
of his Office. No one felt willing to find
fault with him 10 the company because
be bad family to support and was when
sober quite an affuhle person to meet.
AT times, however, he was given to fits
OF melancholy and would appear to be at
outs with all creation, but no one
thought that he was OF a suicidal turn
OF mind. Between eight and nine O'Clock
Hills wife discovered him In comatose
condition and sent at once for DR.. IN.
briskie. The doctor found that enough
morphde had been used to kill the
strongest man. Hill was known among
telegraphic operators on this coast as a
first.class man in his profession. Ever
when considerably under the Influence
of liquor he could take messages from
the fastest sender on the line. Lately
he had made severe complaints against
the company for which he worked 70,
