FEDERAL lNTERFERENCE

The President and Cabinet have spent
considerable time lately in discussing the
labor question, and devising means fo,
preventing trouble in the future. A Com
mission is talked Of to consist of produ.
GERS, merchants, railroad employees and
capitalists, $50 that in any question fair
compromise can be made" 1t seems that
these Cabinet discussions have been con-
fined TO railroad labor. Ifit is allowable
for the Federal Government to interfere in
any way with the labor question in the
States, it would be as proper for it TO step
in between manufacturing companies and
their employees as between railroad COM
panies and their employees. We fail to see
the propriety of such interference. This
labor question is a matter for the individ-
ual States to settle, and they should 90
strengthen their military force as to be
able to promptly put down all mots and
riots without having to call on the Presi-
dent for troops. The fact is pretty sener-
ally recognized and admitted since the
late outbreak, and we may expect that the
States will soon make proper preparations
to take care ofthemselves and the interests
of their citizens in all such emergencies in
the future. The labor question itself is
very simple one. 1t is only question
between employer and employee-a ques-
ton of give and take. If the employee
don't like the price, he needn't work; but
he can't properly prevent another from
working in his place, and here is where
the State should be prepared to step in,
ifneed be, and protect the laborer in his
right to work at any price he may agree to
accept. Legislation properly has but very
little to do in the matter. The law of sup.
ply and demand is the law that must al.
ways govern, and about all the legislative
law needed is that which compels the en-
ployer to pay what he agrees to pay and
the employed what he agrees to take. 1t
Is folly TO talk Of Federal interference.
through Congress or Congressional COM
mission, between employers and employed
in the States, whose contracts are made
under aud governed entirely by State laws
The Federal Government has no more
right to meddle with the labor question in
Pennsylvania than in Canada, Cuba or
Cathay.

REGULARS VS.. MILITIA.

We hear great deal now-asdays abou
the insufficiency Of the militia and the de.
sirableness Of increasing the army. The
former may be true in a great measure
but the latter is alike unnecessary and
useless. What. is. needed is thorough
organization of the militia, redis,rict-
N, renumbering and consolidation OF
egiments, an Improvement in drill and
discipline and the placing of all the COM
mands upon a war footing. What is a
regiment good for when it consists of eight
cen or twenty officers and three men !:
when it will not obey orders hen it is
only half armed, unprovided with KNAPP
sacks, osercoats, blankets, etc? We are
glad that movements are on foot to im>
prove our local militia, and we trust that
concerted action will be taken throughout
the State to equip and drill our home
braves in the discipline and art Of true
soldiery. An increase of the regular army
is not necessary, neither would it be a
proper thing to do. We incline to the be-
lief Of the New York "sun,n that stand
ing army of ten thousand men is sufficient
for all practical purposes in times of peace,
and, if the militia be properly drilled, the
militia would be sufficient in times of war.

HARD TIMES AND WoRKINGMEN

We cannot too much impress upon our
readers i'll general and workingmen in par
ticnlar, the importance Of the currency re-
form. 1t is a question affecting the inter
ests Of workingmen more than any other.
The bondholder wants no change he can
live at his ease, and pay no taxes. The
money in bonds, and do business on the
money Of his depositors. The money
lender wants no change his mortgages
are well secured if his interest is not
regularly paid he can, By foreclosure, take
the property, no matter to him who is
rendered houseless. 1t is workIngmen BY
their votes, that must settle the currency
question. IT IS they VINO suffer it is the
Encouragement az the national finances
which makes work scarce and times hard
The settlement Of the currency question
will settle many social problems which nov
occupy the public mind. 1t will restore
prosperity to the country, then the labor
question will be in a fair way Of solution.
When the demand for labor exceeds the
supply, labor will command its own price ::
when there is more men to work than
there is work to be done, the employer
commands the situation, and will make his
own terms. The law Of supply and demand
is memorable, and cannot be violated with
out mischief. Restore prosperity and there
will be less crime the interest Of the citi
zens will be 80 intimately interviewer that
harmony and good feeling will prevail, and
this can only be brought about by doing
away with bank notes, and substituting
government notes and then issue a sufii,
cient quantity to set the industries Of the
country into activity.
Employers and employed have both a
common interest in restoring prosperity.
But while these hard times are upon US
what are manufacturers doing Waiting
for better times their furnace fires have
ceased to burn, their workshops are closed;
and property running to waste. What are
our merchants doiDgl Waiting for better
the bankruptcy courts are

our real estate holders doing Listlessly
waiting for better times-while property
is depreciating in value, and rents difficult
or impossible to collect. What are the

The workingman's advocate. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1864-1877, 1877-06-16

workingmen doing, with families clamoring
for food and raiment Hoping for better
times. Men Of America, we cannot have
better times till our currency system is re-
formed 1t therefore behoves every one
to put his shoulder to the wheel, and help
to put the industries Of the country in
motion.
Our paper money must be as good a.
gold, secured by the nation, and take the
place of interest bearing debt All money
must be Of one value, whether it is to pay
workmen or bondholders.
We must not have deprecated bank
notes and silver for workingmen and golden
money for bondholders. The motto OF the
workingman must be "Greenbacks al par
with gold, and sufficient in volume to set
the industries Of the country in motion. "
All should study the currency question for
IN this lies the salvation of the people and
the republic. Newspapers and works
showing what currency reform means
should be read by all. Those who have
something yet to lose should help to
diffuse broadcast knowledge among the
people, and thereby place before them
the cause Of our adversely and the remedy,
and enable all to vote intelligently to ar
rest the de scssion that overspreads the
| land

Hoe CHoLERA.-The statistician Of the
Patent Office says over 4 ,ooo, 900 hogs died
last year from cholera, amounting to the
value of $40, 900 900. This is about one
half the amount that the same States paid
for lawyers fees and court costs, and the
worst Of it is they have all the lawyers
mischief makers alive and amongst them
yet to make them still more trouble and
expense. If the lawyers, when they in
flict a loss on the community at large
would die, like a well bred Berkshire or
even China hog, it would be great re-
lief, and show that millions have not
been squandered In vain.
