PoSTIAC. Jan. 81, 1876
To the Editor u the WoRKIssMAE's ADVOCATE
All that men need money for, is to ef-
feet exchanges Of money and commodities
We have dollars aud pounds sterling, but
they have always been vague representa-
tlves Of value. As all value ultimately
resolves itself into labor, it would seem
that a true currency ought to represent
So many hours of labor, and be always ex-
changeable for that, or its equivalent in
products 1t might still retain the title
Of dollars and fractions Of dollar, and at
the same time represent a specific amount
Of labor. II labor be estimated as worth
SOC per hour, then dollar will represent
two hours Of labor, or q commodity that
has required an equal amount of labor to
produce it, estimating all raw material ut
labor cost.
Heretofore our currehcies nave always
ductuated in purchasing power. Ten
years since, it took three dollars to pur-
chase the same amount Of labor that can
be had to-day for 81. 90. What is termed
demand and supply is mainly fictitious.
There Is the same need for. labor to-day
that there was ten yea7 since. Why
then is labor not fully employed, at the
old high pricef Because financial gam

bling and speculation, and the incessant
drain OF interest to three times the amount
Of the national accumulations, has de-
ranged all values and crippled all indus
tries. 1t has always been so, and always
will be, until industry itself has absolute
control of the currency, and IAN exclusive
banking oligarchy has been swept away.
The great obstacle in the way Of inan-
cial and labor reform, lies in the inequit-
able arrangement Of society itself Its
diversities into labor and capital, employ
ers and employed, lenders and borrowers,
generate a chaos Of opposing interests, and
another. Men may clamOr for and against
contraction and expansion, and tinker this
thing and that, but it is all ultimately
found to be labor in vain. A ship that
leaks in more water than can be pumped
out must 20 to the bottom; and our pres
ent social and industrial system, which
sucks from industry more than can be
pumped out of labor, must naturally sink
under the weight of its monopOlies, extor
tions and tyrannies.
labor currency is the natural currency,
and the only equitable currency. 1t is .
currency that represents cost more fully
than any other. But only labor itself has
the right to fix its own value, and labor
must demand the same right to the use Of
currency that capital has, for labor is the
ultimate security for all loans, and the
power that rrpays them.
Evade and ignore it ~ We may, the
great question Of social reconstruction and
the reorganization Of industry is knocking
for admission into the domain OF discus
sion and examination. 1t will be heard,
despite OF hostile papers and politicians.
IL will not only be- heard. but it will over
whelm all opposition. A free and inde-
pendent labor will form the foundation Of
the republic during its second century,
else there will be no republic and no lib
erty. J. F. BRAY.

being made in Congress to cut down the
salaries Of government employees. OF
course tins proposition meets with very
little favor among the class it will affect,
and strenuous efforts are being made to
oppose the bill for the reduction Of sala
rIes But it remains an undlsputed fact
that clerks in the employ Of Uncle Sam
are paid higher wages than is paid tor the
performance of the same class of service
BY private individuals; and why Uncle
Samuel shou pay more than others do,
Is not clearly to be seen. Twelve hundred
dollars year is a very comfortable salary
for a young man, to be sure, and 1t enables
him to attend the receptions and Germans
punctually; but If the same service can be
performed as good for eight or nine hun
dred dollars year. why then pay twelve
There are thousands Of capable young men
aud women all over the country, who would
glldly accept government situations at the
reduced salaries, anC who could perform
the functions Of their office quite as well
as the present incumbents. The salaries
now paid were adopted during the war,
when expenses were very much higher
than at present; since tnen, gold has come
down. and the prices Of everything III pro

The Republicans are endeavoring to get
hold of some cases by which they can
compromise the suits against the fraudu-
lent negro voters at the next term OF
Court. They therefore had warrant is
sued, on the oath of Thos. w. Saville, SUI
perintendent of City Hospital, for the ar
rest of John Dolan, of the Tenth Ward,
on charge of attempting to vote in the
Fifth Ward at the "Iittle Election" The
"attempt" was simply request joldngly
made by Dolan, of Esquire Publ the In
spector, for permission to vote, which re-
quest was refused. No one attached any
importance to the matter at the time, and
the proceedings against Dolan show how
sorely the Republicans feel the prospect
of their approaching defeat. This morn
ing Dolan had hearing before Esquire
O'Neill, who held him in $500 bail for APP
pearance at Court.
A warrant was also procured by Saville
for the arrest of Howard Springer, late
Hospital Superintendent, on charge OF
voting illegally in the. Fifth Ward. Mr.
Springer, however, had legal right to
vote in the Ward. He retired "from the
Hospital few days before the Little Elec-
tion,, but remained in the Fifth Ward,

WHAT ITALY PROPOSES TO USE IN HER
NEXT WAR, AND ITS SUCCESSFUL
WORKING.
LONDON, Oct 2S.-The Times publishes
dispatch from Spezzia which says that
the trials of the hundred-ton Armstrong
gun, made for the Italian government,
were eminently successful. A bolt fired
with BAL pounds of powder attained We
locity of 1900 feet per second, smashed
solid wrought-iron plates twenty-five in
ches thick, completely pierced the strong
backing and thirty-inch skin Of target,
the resistance of which is supposed to
equal the sides of the great Italian IRON
clad Duilio, and had enough velocity re-
naming to have smashed the outer side
of the ship, and would have carried COM
plete ruin into her interior.
An equal:charge completely demolished
soft steal plates of Schneider manufacture
but did not penetrate the backing, though
it is stated that the shock would have so
shaken the structure of a vessel like the
Duilio as to cause leak.
The heaviest blow of the bolt equaled
81 $50 foot tons.
