An additional answer to the claim is
the tact that there are thousands stand
ing ready and who would be glad to take
the situations at the wages pail, and had
the dissatisfied strikers only refused to
work for thee wages, which they had a
perfect right to DO, the railroad COM
panies- would have had no difficulty in
supplying men forlthe vacaueies.T 81 30 g
Others, while net attempting to justify
the strike, claim that it was caused by
the hard times, which has been brought
about by the ont.actionof the currency.
This they do in7faee of the fact that there
are millions OF dollars lying idle in the
banks OF our cities, aid, money can be
had at a lower Fate of interest than for
years, if ever bef0le us low.I The troublc
is that there has been an over-production
of manufactured articles, and, the market
has been oyerstocked beyond the de-
mand, which has reduced the prices be-

ing has been stopped, thus decreasing
the demand for thense Of capital. The
stopping OF 50 many, nauuiactories has
thrown. thOusandslotl employees out OF Sit
nations, thus stopping their income and
depriving them ofthe lmcans to purchase.
and bringing them into. competition
with other laboring classes, thus making
the supply greatly, in. excess OF. the de-
mand, and. Of course, having the same
effect npoii labor as Upon any commodity
regulated by the supply and demand.
Some Of the radical Democratic papers
charge it to the Republican party, which
they make responsible tor I'LL the ills that

What the country needs is for more to
enter upon agricultural. pursuits, and be-
come producers Instead Of consumers.
There are thousands OF acres of farming
lands waiting to be cultivated. nInsthis
section of Michigan the e are large guam
titles OF as good farming lands as can be
found anywhere that can be had lat rea-
sonable rates and oil favorable terms, and
for the products OF which there is a really
market right at home, so that the farmer
can realize the full value OF his produce.
The, telegraph dispatches give a clear
idea of tlie positions occupied by the Rus
sian and Turkish armies near Plevna.
Osman Pagla is operating fiom Widin
against that part OF the. Russian army
detailed for active operations in Bull
garia, and his determined stand at Plevna
places the Russian army between the
Turkish forces at Rustchuk and Schulma
and his own large army. "A Russian

SOME OF the Democratic papers are
displaying surprising amount OF igno
rance by propounding the query as tt
who w. II. West. the Republican nomi
nee for Governor OF Ohio, is
He is one OF the most prom
inemt men of THAT. state
having been, Judge OF The Supreme
Court tor six years. Attorney General o
the state, and one OF the leading mem
bers Of the Constitutional convention o
1872. 3 Asa lawyer he is almost withou
peer. His judicial opinions while OF
the bench and his able and exhaustiv'
letter on the electoral complications las
winter, which was widely published
have given him national reputation fa
exceeding that of their late candidate
for the Presidency, previous t
his nomination for Governor OF the stat
Of New York. and Is the man wh'
will be the next Governor OF Ohio.
