In an article on "Big Crops and G God

GOOD crops and big prices will set the

money without expressing the producing

interest on their bonds and Dividend on

EdiIoU IntcllIstnecr:
A careful and thoughtful consideration
Of the railroad strike will, think, lead
the strikers 10 see that the railroad is the
great national highway, and that 1t must
be kept open, as upon its being kept open
depends the support Of all the people who
dwell along 1t, For time people will
side with the strikers, but they will finally
see that their very existence depends
upon the railroad being open and they
will open it. Now people think that il
is not their fight; that it is a matter be-
tween the railroad company and their
employees, and, hence, stand aloof or look
quietly on, but when they find their sup.
plies cut of and themselves besleSed, as
1t were, and to all intents and purposes
actually is, they will begin to look into
It and seek the cause, and find and re.
move il. All other considerations will
give way TO the one great one OF
self.preservation, and although they may
think that the movement Of the strikers
is founded in justice, and should we re.
ceive the support Of men who love their
fellow man, yet they will rise, and as Just
intimated, drive the strikers from the
road and open it. Then there will be no
necessity for proclamations calling men
to open the railroad, but every human
being will become tiger and drive them
10 destruction. Like a great river that
overfows Its banks, It will seek an outlet,
or overwhelm all before II. Think strik-
er for moment on what will be the con.
dition Of the people, and pause whileyou
are safe, although you may have to seek

AsoENE at Reading, Pennsylvania, is
thus described by a correspondent Of the
New York Sum
"When the Easton Greys and other
companies Of the Fourth Regiment came
along the air was rent with yells Of Give
'em hellp 60 for 'emr Instead Of re-
peating the last nights error in going
down the cut, they marched in the streets
above and alongside Of it, movement
which disconnected the riotous crowd;
nevertheless a brisk fire Of stones was
kept up by the mob upon the Fourth
Regiment. The Easton Greys suffered
most having Sergeant Hartmann, Cor
poral Perdoe, Privates Mack and Vail
severely wounded. Young Sertz, OF Eas.
ton, was sunstruCk, and came near dying.
None Of the Sixteenth Regiment was
hurt. It was expected the soldiers
would cover the restoration Of the track
by working party, but after they
had reached the ground the work
ers did not appear. After waiting half
an hour they marched through Penn and
Fifth streets back TO the depot. 1t is
said that men could not be found to do
the dangerous work proposed. In the
mob following the soldiers was deafen.
Ing storm Of curses, threats and insults
hurled at the E@ton Greys. Many men
carried great stones and bricks. wishing
to throw them, yet fearing to get close
enough. They regretted loudly that the
soldiers had not come down the track
again in the cut, so they might have been
stoned from the ramparts twenty feet
above. In the cut ono could see the
ground covered with stones, fragments OF
iron and bricks, hurled down last night.
II is awonder that half the soldiers were
not killed in that encounter. As we
marched along volley of stones from
the Windows on the route fell upon the sol.
diers. From time TO time sudden fears Of
retaliation seized the mob, and wheeling,
they dalhed into open doors, Finding the
soldiers did not FIRE, their assailants
grew boldSr.p

Letter from a VVOrkingmnn.
WHEELING, July 81,

Editors Intelligence:
In the comments Of the press Of the
country OH the railroad war, as copied in
your paper Of the eth inst, it is admitted
that the strikers have been reduced be-
low living rates; also that there is u class
Of unemployed workingmen in the coun.
try who are in still worse condition, and
who, driven by their necessities, are ready
TO take the places Of the strikers at the
reduction. 1t also maintains that the
strikers have no right "in law or Justice"
10 interfere with these men, and when
they interfere with them they become vi.
olaters OF the law, and should be dealt
with MS such. AZ workingman | &C.
knowledge the correctness OF the
above as far as it goes. Let me
ask is it right for the monopolist
To take the advantage Of the condition
oil the laborlns man, to reduce his wages
still further, when lie ia now working at
starvation rates? and can you expect him
to be controlled by principles Of right
when he feels that the capitalist, in his
dealings with him, is not controlled by the
same principles?
The children OF tlc.c strikers are look
ing to them for support. They know full
we'll il they allow these men 10 take their
places, they will lose their positions, and
their families will want for bread, and In
taking the stand they have they are gov.
erned by higher law than that of right
or iusticc-viZ-the law OF necessity and
paternal affection.
The working men OF this country are
every day becoming more and more con.
WINGED Of the fact, that the legislation
and press OF the land are under the con.
troll OimonopOly and capital, and is he.
ing used 10 crush labor; and so long as
they so believe they will not be very pa.
triotic or law.abiding.
But | am no advocate OF violence or
disorder, for 1t will react on the strikers,
and harm the cause OF labor. believe
the main cause Of the depression Of labor
is TO be found in the contraction OF the
currency OF the people, in forced Specie
resumption" and the demonstration Of
silver, to thegreat injury OF the debtor
class, and depression Of our industries,
thus throwing men ont Of employment.
Working man, your only remedy is the
ballot.box; cut loose from party and
politicians; and unite in sending men to
Congress who have the ability, the cour-
age, and honesty TO properly advocate
your interests; not lawyers, or bankers,
nor editors, but working men OF integ-
rity and good common sense, and then
will you enjoy the fruits Of your labor,
and live in peace and plenty. The re-
sponsibility rests at your own door, and
il you do not meet it, as men worthy Of
such opportunities, you have no one 10
blame but yourselves.
