SOLID material, and, consequently, with less re-

BACK ISSUE.

COLUMBUS, o., August 23.-The
campaign of the democracy was held
in this city tonight. An audience
congregated in capital square land was
addressed by Hon. Geo. IL. Pendleton,
of Cincinnati, and General Thomas
Ewing. of Lancaster. Mr.. Pendleton
spoke for upwards of an hour, and
was followed by General Ewing. The
following is Mr.. Pendleton speech:
My FELLOW CirIzENs:-l speak to
you tonight because our country sui
rers; because honest. industrious men
seek employment in vain, and their
families want food. Harpers' Weekly
says sit is computed that there are
three millions of people in the country
idle who would gladly work. Those
who three or four years ago received
two or three dollars day now eagerly
accept fifty cents. All labor has been
| forced to submit to reduced wages.
We ought, in candid spirit, to search
the cause. II government. either IN
! its legislation or administration, is at
fault, we ought to apply the remedy.
This work concerns us all equally.
Therefore, l speak to you. democrats
and republicans alike. If l do not
convince your Judgment. | Will not
wound your just susceptibilities. l
criticize politics and motives. Now
why is this! There must be cause.
What is it! One fact confronts us in
this inquiry. The laws Of taxation.
the laws of tariff, the commercial sys-
tenn, the financial system-those touch
the very life and being of the whole
social and industrial fabric. The re-
publican party has established and
administered these laws and these
systems. 1t has had power for half
generation. Even since the war it has
had absolute sway for twelve years
Once only in all that time has there
been an adverse house of representa-
tives. 1t has used this power withou,

SPECIE RESUMPTION.
This law, involving as it does the
early and total destruction OF the
greenback currency, and the large
part of the national bank currency.
is the sole cause of the unparalleled
distress which aff1ict all-employers
and employed alike-who are engaged
in industrial pursuits. To no other
adequate cause can the trouble be
attributed. Our people have been
blessed with health and peace-have
had good crops, and ceartalnly, for
four years past, have practiced q
rigid ecOnomy--Our exports have
steadily increased. and our imports
steadily diminished. Why should
each successive month bring fresh and
greater disaster! What other ade-
quate cause is operating with accelera-
ting power to drive millions Of wage
laborers into idleness and pauperism.

teaches on the fourth floor. The principle of
''no waste" is strictly adhered to in all arrange
ments, position and construction of machinery.
One engine of thirty horsepower is the prin-
cipal motive pawer. An engine of seven-horse
power is used to operate the condensers. The
boilers are fed from the hot water tanks. The
combination of power equals eighty five horse-
power. Water is pumped from the river, a dis
lance Of 125 feet, through pipe two and one
half inches in diameter. In the basement are
two furnaces six by sixteen feet, four feet high,
two feet thickness of brick bottom, sides and
top; inside all fire brick and in best possible
manner.
The enterprise is a commendable one. Near
y all the capital is furnished by citizens OF East
Machias. Any profits ultimately, which we
hope will be abundant, will be their gain. Al
ready the results are felt for good. Cash pal5d
for sweet fern, for labor, timber and material
has been a blessing to the community:
At no time since the inception OF the move
ment have the friends and stockholders felt SO
well encouraged and SO hopeful of remunera-,
ton as they do at this time. The evidence OF
demand for the tannin extract, also as to the
supply of sweet fern, is increasing, cow nclng
and satisfactory. There is no establishment IN
the country like this, considered in its conyen-
fence, capacity, entirety and completeness. The
factory will probably consume fifteen tons per
day of sweet fern.
