whose highest ambition it was, es it
WIS his chief glory, to observe tho

Chief Executive, who has not sought
to emulate the virtues Of Washinr-

State of the privilege of joining pub

srAGNATION I'm TRADE.

The recent violent demonstration oil
the laboring classes is the result of g
long protracted business stagnation.
Commencing in 1873, it has grown
rather than diminished with each re
curing season. The long struggle
for existence has had no interval fol
rest, and despair at the hopelessness o.
the conflict, has had its legitimate end
ing in violence. But the causes which
produced this last upheaval-whici
so completely disorganized society
and precipitated the working classes t.
the brink of revolution. are to be
traced to that political lawlessnes:
which disregarded the will ofthe people
and literally inaugurated president
at the point Of the bayonet. 1t de-
stroyed public confidence in the right.
fitness of authority and put a pre-
MUM upon contempt for law.
What the people of the country
most require is confidence in govern.
ment and stability in society. These
are not to be procured when fraud is
recognized in high places, and crime
is condoned by the rulers Of the ma.
ton. One of the strongest arguments
used by the Republicans to procure q
public acquiescence in Mr.. Hayes as.
sumption of the Presidency was the
promise that it would settle business
and give confidence to the commercial
community. But it has not had thi;
effect. On the contrary, business is
more unsettled than ever and conf.
dence is utterly lacking. Prices for
the requirements Of lite have gone up,
aud the rewards of labor have dimin-
ished. In the place Of peace there is
disquiet. Capital. proverbially timid,
trembles in the face of a panic.
Speculation ceases, and enterprise
falls dead. Whys The reason is
plain. There is no confidence in gov
eminent. Whatever outward ODE.
dience may be given to the forms Of
law, there is no moral influence in
fraud. Those who have usurped the
government are as impotent for good
as would be a conquerer who invaded
the country and seized upon the al
ministration of affairs. Law to be eff.
fective, must be for all alike. It eau
not be respected while shielding the
powerful and expressing the weak.
Neither can one Law be made for the
great and another for the poor. Fraud
and injustice are the same whether

OHIO DEMOCRATS.

Ii must Ike admitted that the Dem.
ocratic party Of Ohio has entered upon
its political canvass under circum-
stances which gives it an immense ad-
vantage. II is fortunate both in
platform and candidates. II has made
no mistakes. Its declaration that "the
destruction Of the industries Of the
country and the pauperism Of labor
are The inevitable fruits Of vicious
laws enacted by the Republican party"
will appeal at once to the good sense
of the people Of the State. No re-
flecting mind can fail to perceive that
with country possessing such i'm
mense resources as does this, the
masses of the people ought not I"

and urge il home to conviction that
the labor difficulties are the Legitimate
result Of a want of confidence in gov
ernment which has misdirected the
energies of the people, and has I'M
poverished them by onerous and use
less taxation.
1t declares that the resumption act
was a huge legislative blunder Of a
Republican Congress. and that its ell
forcement will bring unimaginable
distress upon the people; will cripple
commerce and paralize the industries
of the nation. Ii declares against

blun,ler, if not an example Of the
most vicious legislation. 1t very
properly demands that an act shall he

power and purchasing value. 1t is
opposed to National Banks. and de-
clareS against any further issue of their
notes, as violative Of the constitution.
and opposed to the traditions of the

With such a platform as this, sup

the Southern policy Of the President.
the Democratic party Of Ohio should
carry the State by an overwhelming
majority. The recent labsr difficult
ties, which have pervaded the country.
have given point and emphasis to the
clear and explicit declaration Of its
principles. These show that the De
mocracy have touched the key note of
popular opinion, which will have for
it both aid and sympathy.

SOCIAL DISEASES.

II is understood by the sagacious
observer Of events, that society, like
the human body, is liable to disease,
and that all the outbreaks which dis
turb its peace are the result Of its alb
normal conditions. A thing Of itself
need not be radically wrong to produce
injurious consequences. What is re-
CURED for healthy society is just
equilibrium in all its parts. Gluttony,
for instance, will occasion disease in
the human body. Gluttony in any Of
the elements which compose society
will occasion disorder. This fact is IL
Illustrated by our labor difficulties. The
true reason for the distress among
working people is that the labor mar
ket is overstocked. Agriculture has
been abandoned for dense populations
and the marts of trade. Men have
left the field for the workshop.
Production is languishing for the want
Of labor, vet Labor is distressed for the
want of remunerative work. We
have too many artisans, mechanics and
railroad men and too few farmers. In
country SO wide and diversified in
its industries as ours. there is no rea-
son why every man. willing to work.
should not find employment. But the
trouble is they prefer to work for
others. instead Of themselves. WOoed
by the intricacy of machinery-by
the rattle and hustle Of railroad life
by the crowd AID allurements of the
cities, they turn their backs upon the
staid and peaceful habits Of the farm,
and scorn the slow. but sure. accumula-
tons that wait upon patient toll.
This tendency Of men to follow pecu-
liar pursuits cheapens labor and makes
it the petitioner for the favors, and
dependent upon the caprices of
capital. The drain upon agriculture
increases the cost of production and
makes the means Of living high-as
consumption increases; production d.
minishes and men find themselves be.
yond the power Of adhering to the
homely maxim: Live within your
income" The true remedy for the
evils of labor, Is DIsrRIBUrIoN-an
equilibrium in all the various and
multiplied forms Of industry. Take
away from the rai!road, the work
shop and the city. their haards Of
sta, wing operatives. and disperse
them upon the broad prairies. where
content waits upon industry and thrift
follows toll. and the horrors Of the
Commune and the strike will fade into
dim and shadowy visions to which
men will recnr not without . shudder.
but without regret. When that day

OVER AT LAST.

1t is gratifying to believe that the
fierce struggle which has recently con,
vulsed the country is drawing to a
close. 1t was begun upon false Pr'n'
ciples, and conducted in error. No
matter what compromises have re-
suited from it, the end will be alike
unprositable and beggarly Of good.
Nevertheless, it has taught lesson
which is valuable. 1t has shown that
when once the laws are ignored and
the fierce elements which society re.
strains. are turned loose in riot, that
evil will be the inevitable consequence.
No matter how quietly and honestly
the railroad men meant to conduct
their strike, their action was unlawful,
and once the law was set aside, the
depraved and vicious swept in at the
open breeches and inauguratcd n sat
urhalia of license that might have
given to fame our most beautiful
cities, and to pillage the industrial
accumuIations Of years. 1t has been
shown that even in our western cities
the fatal sentiment Of French Com
mupism has taken root and is watch
ing with eager and insatiate desire fo'
an opportunity to strike its poisonou.
fangs into all We love and reverence
Bred in the idea that property Is thu
right of all, and free to those wht
choose to seize, it has no higher
guide to principle than the Highland
er's slogan-"Let him take who ha:
the power. and let him keep who can.
Without pretending to analyze ths
origin of this obnoxious growth
further than to say, it is aplant OF
foreign nurture and has been brought
to this country by the exiles who left
the hot beds of European politics FOL
their country's good. Fostered in al
atmosphere of treason-grown amid
the horrors of revolution and de
veloped in the terrible lawlessness Of :
society utterly disorganized, it has nj
feature which an honest American
laborer would wish to see engrafte,
upon his country's institutions.
But there is still another point o.
interest, which the recent struggle ha:
disclosed. The price of labor is moi
an arbitrary principle. 1t is the out
growth of circumstances /; of the law:
and conditions of trade and the rela'
tons of supply and demand. 1t i
the result of innumerable causes all
tending to the same end. lnsepara
bIy associated with the movement OF
trade, it is the pulse by which the
community feels the healthy or dis
eased conditions of that capriciou:
and uncertain tide which marks the
prosperity or decline of commerce. II
prices are forced into undue develop
ment-as we force and nurture hoI
house plant-they will wither and
die when once the sustaining cause l.
removed. The depression even viii
be greater, just in proportion as the
causes which produced the imitation
are abnormal. The business man wht
forces trade--who rushes headlong into
speculation and demands and receives
unhealthy prices, is sure to encounter
an adverse wave at last, which will
land him in bankruptcy. So with
everything that is not founded on q
substantial basis. and is not the adj
mitted result of legitimate principles.
