iSecond-That the way to increase the
pay Of labor is tocripple the industries that
employ it.
IRnd-That the way to make times
good and everybody prosperous is to OBJ
struct and destroy the agencies which are
essential to prosperity.
Fowth-That the way to inspire conf
dence and tempt capital to invest in enter
prises that will give employment to labor,
is to terrorize the public mind and spread
feeling of insecurity among capitalists.
Fyth-As capital is quite as necessary
to labor as labor is essential to capital, il
is sound policy to widen the breach be-
tween them, and create antagonisms where
none in the nature of things exist.
These deductions are legitimate because
they are the actual results of strikes and
riotous proceedings. If workingmen dc
not believe that such consequences are
calculated to improve their present Of
prospective situations, they should be ex
ceedingly careful how they assist to pro
mote state of things that invariably
works out these results.

Tie primary cause of all the present distress Of
business aud general industry was the Salmon p
Chase issue of seven hundred millions OF paper
money Cincinnati Gazette.
All, indeed! And how was it when
Judge Chase, at the head Of the'Supreme
Court, decided that in time of peace this
paper money could not be legal tender,
and President Grant thereupon appointed
two new judges to reverse this decision
aud keep me seven hundred millions Of
paper money still going? Wasn't that
indecent performance of Grant another
cause of all the present distress?

A war between labor and capital can
never be beneficial to the laborer. With
out capital there could be no employment
for the laborer. and as on the reverse cap
itaI would lie idle and be unproductive
without laborers, the probabilities are in
favor of the hypothesis that they will al
ways mutually regulate each other. But
when laborers claim to fix their own rates
and will not work for less nor permit
others who are willing to do so, they vio-
late every principle of personal liberty.

Superior to any English or American. ADIPLO.
Ma was awarded to this Magnesia, by the American
Institute in 1852.
This very useful and elegant preparation is used
as an aperient antie acid in dyspepsia complaints
attended with acidtv with very great benefit. 1t
has the advantage over common Magnesia, in being
dissolved, and theRefore not being liable to accu
mulate in the bowels 1t is decidedly superior TO
Carbonate OF Soda or Potash, on account of its
aperient quality.
This solution of Magnesia is found particularly
beneficial as pleasing sedative and aperient In all
of irritation, acdty of the stomach, febtile
complaints, infantile disorders, or sea-sickness.
An ounce or two OF this solution speedily removes
heartburn acrid eructations and sourneEs, or rreg
ular digestion.
The solution is of itself an aperient, but its axa
tive properties can be much augmented by taking
with it, directly after it. little lemon juice, mix
ed with sugar and water or even with cream of tar
tar; in this manner very agreeable eferyescent
fever or thirst.
The antisceptic qualities of this solution, owing
to the presence of much carbonic acid have been
found very valuable in putrid and other fever As
lotion for the mouth, 1t sweetens the breath, and
the Magnesia cleans the teeth from tartar.
The ISOLATION has almost invariably succeeded in
removing fits, spasms and headaches to which deli
cate persons subject from acids and crudites OF
the stomach and bowels.
the attention OF the public is particularly direct

other persons who have used the Magnesia;

THE STORY is told of Sir Samuel
Baker, the African traveller, that
when he was taking leave Of KAN
rasi, King of Onyor. that prince ask
ed him, as particular favor, to leave
Lady Baker behind. This cool re-
quest raised Sir Samuel's fire, and in
high indignation he told the King
that if even he dared to make such
a request again he would shoot him.
Lady Baker, too, who overheard
and understood the offer, felt that
a word from her would not be out of
place, and she gave the unfortunate
monarch "a piece of her mind" in
the strongest vernacular she could
summon to her aid. His majesty,
thus caught between two fires, was
for few moments astounded, being
perfectly unconscious of having Civ
EN- any cause of offense. AT last, see
ing that his guests were really very
angry, he said, in a deprecatory voice
"Don't be angry; 1 did not mean to
offend you by asking for your wife.
l will give youa wife if you want
one-and l thought you would have
no objections to give me yours. 1t
is my custom to give my visitors
pretty wives, and 1 thought you
might like to exchange. Don't make
a fuss about it; if you DON'T like it,
there's an end to it,"

The Nation disposes of the talk
about the revival of wing party in
this way: "There is already new
party in the country, which has been
in existence since the close of the war
which is the real reform party of
country, and holds the balance of
power in its hands. 1t is constantly
growing in numbers and will I'M
questionable decide the next Presi-
Dental election. 1t is In favor of
civil service reform, of a sound cur
rency, of the reduction of taxation,
the stoppage ofall grants and subsi-
dies, and of tariff for revenue only.
TO attempt to wheedle the South into
a support of the Administration on
the basis of subsidies and high tariff
is for the Republicans simple suicide
because-it will permanently ALLEVIATE
from them the support of which we
speak-a support the strength of
which has been already seriously
impaired by the conduct of the late
campaign. Nobody need give him
self the slightest trouble in getting up
81 Wing revival. 1.-THE country wants
the Wing back it will have them,
just as it will have the l. ederalist
party if it wants that; but as long as
it sees the Wing principles mean
the Texas Pacific job, and that the
leading Old Wing is no other than
Tom Tcott,, we doubt if it will take
much interest in the movement"
