THE PRINTERS UNION OF this city, in
general meeting on Saturday evening, voted
by an overwhelming majority to reduce the
price OF composition ten per cent.,-from
nifty 10 forty i've cents per Thousand ems.
The highest rate for ordinary come 1sit1on
established before the war was thirty q We
cents, and as prices for the necessaries of
life advanced, the rate was increased to
forty, again to forty five, and finally 10 fifty
cents, when the highest war prices ruled,
and there Ii has remained for ten years. The
cost or living having been greatly dimin-
1shed, the union very properly decided to
conform TO the necessities OF the times and
inaugurate q reduction Of wages. The in
dustrfal class that is second to none In the
country In intelligence should be the highest
example TO the employed interests OF the
nation In appreciating and maintaining the
mutual interests OF employers and em-
ployed, and the action Of the union on Cat
urday evening was clearly In that dire ,tion
While the tendency OF associated labor Is
ever toward the law OF might, especially
among the less intelligent of our people, the
printers have, al q rule, given the best
record Of any OF their fellow ASSOCIATIONS in
the prudence and wisdom of their Judgments;
and new when employers could greatly
cheaper labor temporarily below the stand
ard Of the various labor associations, the
printers command the confidence of en-
pIoyers by voluntary reduction.-[ Phild-

The Humbug of the Bloody Shirt.

| The curtain has gone up, and by the
quality of the campaign that is being urged
in this state, we may see what it is to be
in the whole north The issue is to be
again sectional one--a campaign Of ha-
tired against the south-a revival of the
dead animosties that should have been
buried finally and forever in the last ditch
of the war 1t is a manner of conducting
| political campaigns, which is not only I'M
patriotic but mean and cowardly. More
than that, it is false, having no reality up
on which TO stand The whites of the
south very we'll understand that with
peace must come their only chance of
prosperity. To engage in riot and out
rage would be to invite ravage and ruin
to their doors Material prosperity, which
they so much need. they we'll understand
can come only from the union of tranquil
ity and industry
And tranquility has reigned in the south.
With the exception Of the riotous atfray at
Hamburg, in South Carolina, there have
been no outbreaks between the races for
long time-and the Hamburg affair has
been grossly distorted for party effect, as
will be seen by the account which we pub
fish to-day. In all the other states, under
Democratic local rule, peace and prosper
ity reign. Mississippi, having got rid of
her carpet bag Governor from Maine, is
tranquil. Louisiana keeps the peace and
raises sugar and cotton. The cotton fac
tories of Georgia are running full, while
| those of Name are idle. Florida is devel-
oping her resources and attracting North
crn people, Texas is peaceful, save the
Mexican border forays. Tennessee has
had enough of war, and is engaged in the
peaceful pursuits of agriculture There is
literally nothing for the outrage mill to
grind into grists.
1t is true that Alabama having recently
gone Democratic by large majority, in
the intention to share the advantages of
peace and tranquility the cry goes out
that there was intimidation and fraud in
the election But it chances that the Gin
cinnati Commercial, Republican paper,
sent a reporter to Alabama, with instruc-
tons to report faithfully the style of the
campaign. That correspondent is we'll

Blaine on the Stumr.

The burden Of ex Speaker Blaine's
speeches thus far has been ''the ex-Con-
federate House" This is intended as
term of reproach, and is applied to that
branch of the Government controlled by
Democrats with view to binding the
public to the reform it has inaugurated,
to the retrenchment it has carried out, de-
spite the opposition Of a Republican SEN
ate, and to the exposure it has made Of
corruption in high places. Those who
read or listen to Mr.. Blaine's harangues
will perhaps be surprised to learn that no
longer ago than the last session of the
Forty-third Congress he was counting the
favor Of the very men he now covers with
unmerited abuse that he held aloof then
from the extremists of his party and that
his friends claimed for him that it was
through the assistance he gave the DEM
ocratic minority-while in the Speakers
chair that the infamous force bill was de-
feated Then Mr. Blaine wished it to be
understood that he was out with Grant
and that he did not sympathize with the
carpet baggers, or with their allies in the
Senate and House. TO come to thorough
understanding as to his position then, it
should be added that it was industriousy
whispered about Washington that the
Democrats might DO worse than take
Blaine for their Presidential candidate.
But when it became evident that the De-
mocracy could not and would not 60 out
side of their own party, Blaine began to
wish for the Republican nomination and
emulated Morton in shaking the bloody
shirt lie is still shaking it, Whether he
would have been SO bitter on the Demo-
cratic House il it had not explored the
transactions in railroad stocks, must be
left to conjecture.
