1t is productive industry that
makes q people wealthy. Whatever
protects and encourages the indus
tries of a country, may be considered
a general blessing, If the flood
sweeps away a manufacturing estab-
lishment and the workmen are con-
sequently idle, it is to some extent a
public loss as well as a serious evil
to those Immediately affected by it.
If fire destroys a cotton mill and
throws 300 dependent employees out
of work, and consequently the re-
ward of the labor they are able to
perform, it is looked upon as a seri-
Gus calamity. Oftentimes such loss
es have been relieved by public ben
~eficience; and it is proper and some
times necessary that they should be.
Therefore whatever deprires the la
boring man of employment and his
consequent earnings is a calamity,
and shouli be remedied. If legisla-
ton a give the relief, then legisla-
ti0n should be had.
If we were in Congress, and il
should become known that a number
of manufacturing enterprises had
been obliged to suspend operations,
we should feel it our duty in that po-
%sition, to inquire if any Legislation in
Congress had contributed to bring
-1-Ll--
any Legislation that might properly
be had could remedy the matter
Such undoubtedly would be, and is
the duty of Congress at all times
yet years have interviewed since |
great number of industrial pursuit:

iEg, and not an act has been passed
to help them; and from present ap
pearances no one can tell when any

tic medicine that can be employed: cleans
ing the stomach and bowels, and even the
blood. In small doses Of one pill a day,
they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than a quarter of a century, and have
obtained a worldwide reputation for their
virtues. Theycorrect diseased action in
the several assimilative organs of the
body, and are so composed that obstruc-
tons within their range a rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have bafled the best of
human skill. While they produce power
full effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. By
their apericnt action they grippe much les,
than the common purgatiyes, and never
give pain when the bowels are not inflamed
They reach the vital fountains ofthe blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing il
from the clements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calome
nor any d~elctcrious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Then
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.

STILL GOING DOWN.

The Northern Ohio Democrat
The merciless grip of hard
times occasioned by the specie re-
act and contraction policy
of the Government, has strangled
the spasmodic spirit evinccd by the
loading of a few vessels with grain
at this port, but the vessels that have
made trips have returned and drop
ped anchors in ordinary, and the
docks wear the appearance Of a per-
petual Sabbath. At this time in
former years, when there were green
backs enough in circulation to 'sup-
ply the wants o ftrade, our docks
were laden with cargoes received and
to be shipped, and Water street was
SO thronged with people that pedes-
trians jostled each other on its mar
row side walks, but now it is like the
road leading to a cemetery in a heal
thy season-nobody on it but mourn
ers fer the departed. Everywhere,
on all the streets, in all the stores
and places of business the effects OF
the whitening hand of the Money
Power are visible. There is no re-
~storation of confidence, no return OF
prosperity, no thrift; doubt and dis
trust occasioned by the gradual dis
appearance of currency from the
channels of trade has paralyzed the
energies and enterprise pfathe peo-
pie and shaken their confidence in
and affection for a Government that
utterly d~isregards their wishes and
interests. And yet in the midst Of
these hardest of hard times, the mo-
ney sharks, shavers and strikers Of
Presidential candidates are howling
for specie resumption and hard mo-
ney. Have they become dazed by
their own folly, or do they imagine
that the industrial classes of the
people have lost their senses? sthe
mechanic whose workshop is closed,
the laborer who yainly seeks for en-
ployment, the sailor lettering along
the docks waiting for an anchor tc
be lifted, the merchant whose clerks
stand idly at the counters and doors
of his store, are the millions of peo'
pie engaged in all theindusttial pur'
suits of the country to be told that
when we get down TO "hard pan" and
specie payment there will be better
times? Better for whom? Better
for the men who have paper money
to redeem, or for those who have
none?

PUBLIC OPINION.

So44t W &&SASAts
Public opinion is the lever by
which all things are moved in Re-
public. 1t has even become so pow
erfnl in monarchies as naturally to
destroy despotism in all really civil
lied countries, holding in check the
will and passions Of Kings and Prin-
ces. Public opinion, however, like
all things human, can work evil in
proportion to its power to do good,
on the same principle that the re-
bound is proportional to the blow.
In physics, there can be no moral
agent capable of benefiting man that
has not an equal power to do him
harm. Public opinion, rightly di-
rected, is the highest source of ma
%tional virtue, as public opinion,
which has taken a wreng direction,
is the surest means of serving the
devil.
In a Rennbl;c like o,,rs as n mat.
ter of course, every effort is made to
seize upon and create opinion, which
is substantially securing power
One of tho most common arts rae
tised. in connection with this means
of effecting objects, is to stimulate
the existence OF a general feeling in
favor of or against any particular
measure: SO great being the defer
epee Maid to uublic opinion. in n
country like this. that men actually
gid their own sentiments of the
majority. In politics. however, and
and indeed in all other matters that
are of sufficient Importance to attract
general attention, there are adverse
sentiments. which, we're it not for
the absurdity of the phrase, might
almost be termed two public opin-
ions. This is the result of party
feeling. which induces men to adont
in gross the preiudices, notions, and
judgments Of the particular faction
to which they belong-often without
examination. and generally without
candor. Whom two persons of equal
intelligence, of the same means of
ascertaining facts, and of the same
general fairness of disposition, hold
the opposite extremes of opinion on
the character of a particular individ-
nal. or of a particular measure, we
see the extent to which a bias may
be carried, and the little value that
those who wish only to support truth
ought to attach even to pulic opin-
ion, in matters that will admit of
doubt. AS no PREPARATION a ever
be made to the individual who has
been wrongcd by public opinion, all
good men are cautious how they lis
ten to accusations that are unsup-
ported by testimony, vulgar report
being more likely to be wrong than
to be right. In matters that admit
of investigation and proof. public
opinion in the end, when passion,
prejudice and malice have had their
day, is very apt to come to a just
decision; but this is often too late
to repair the wrong done to the
sufferer.
