There is every indication that one of the
good results Of the labor strike will be an
increase of the standing army. The expe-
riences Of the past few weeks have shown
the country how completely helpless it
would be in the hands of determined riot
ers and that public safety demands an eff
cient national police. While the general
public is not particularly interested in pre-
venting Indians from killing white men, one
effect of the strike will probably be The
better protection of the frontier. An in
crease of the army will fill our depleted
regiments and render them more effective
for defensive operations in the Indian coun.
try. 1t is understood that the president il
strongly ~infavor of an increase of the army
and it is expected that the matter will be
brought before the early consideration o
congress.

CONTRACTION MUST STOP.
EIndianapolis Sentinel.


The contraction of the currency must stop.
John Sherman must no longer force it with IA
view of reaching gold payments before the
day fixed in the resumption act. He is de-
void of all sympathy for the millions of
laboring men and is recklessly running the
country to ruin over their heads. His vicious
policy is now bringing forth lis legitimate
fruits. With the rich soil of Indiana TEEN
ing with The necessaries of life our laboring
men are suffering with want. This is an
unnatural condition of affairs, and could only
have been produced by the most pernicious
legislation. The contraction policy OF tn e
Grant and Hayes administrations has well
nigh destroyed all our industries, and ii is
nov bringing anarchy and blood. 1t must
be stopped, for the people are entitled to
bread in return for hon est labor, and they
must have it. Bread for the laboring man
rather than gold for the %bondholder.

The ST. Louis Times, a democratic news
paper, declares, in positive strains, that the
old whig party still lives, and that it has
completely taken possession of the White
House. 1t says:
The president threw off the republican
mask long ago. One by one his secretaries
are doing the same thing. few days since
Mr.. Evarts Invested himself Of every rag
of republicanism, and came out boldly in
the old colors. In short, there is a whig
admins ration installed in Wash ngton,
protesting a wing policy of protection for
native manufactures, internal improvements
by the general governments, discrimination
intayor ofthe monied interests and monied
classes, and, it must be admitted, we'll dis
posed to substitute national for sectional
measures, or national for sectional ideas.
This may startle the country
and it may not. 1t may be true and it may
not. Politics is a game of perhaps these
days.

The Washington Republican strongly
urges upon congress the necessity for en-
ploying the surplus labor of the country
upon public Improvements, and suggests
the Immediate construction of the Southern
Pacific road, and the rebuilding of the Mis-.
sissippi levees as two great enterprises by
which money could be turned into the
pockets Of the poor from out the treasure
boxes of the rich. Other leading papers
are taking up this subject, and it is proba-
BILE that by the time congress assemblies, a
sentiment will be created throughout the
country which will enforce a radical change
in the system of governmental expendi-
lures. The nation can afford to employ
poor men upon public improvements
These men are an important part of the ma
ton, and to better their condition would
better the condition of the whole.

A public meeting was held in Deadwood
on the 18th at which a military organiza-
ton was effected for protection against 1ndi-
ans. About two hundred men enlisted inn
mediately, who furnish their own arms and
horses. The county commissioners were
requested to furnish funds to defray the
necessary expenses of the organization.
The experience of southeastern Dakota in
regard to payment for money invested, prop
erty lost and services rendered in the Indian
war of 1862 may be of value to the people
of the Hills. After the troubles were over
each individual presented his claim to the
general government and though settlement
was long delayed, it came at last and
settlers and soldiers were reimbursed for
losses, expenses and services. Within the
past two years something like $25, 600 has
been paid by the government to the few res
idents of Dakota who were here at the time
of the 1862 Indian war.

TIE DUTY Of CONGRESS.


w ashipgton Republican
The next session Of congress will be an
important one on account of the many i'm
portant subjects which ii will he called unon
TO dispose oil. twill, fortunately, be in the
power Of that body TO afford relief to the
country by authorizing certain internal
improvements which have national impor
lance, like the Southern Pacific railroad and
the rebuilding of the Mississippi levees I'M
proyemenls of this character would ad to
the real wealth Of that c mtry, besides civ
ing work to many thousands of men WHO
would otherwise have TO he supported by
public charity or st3rye.
Without gong into amy discussion Of The
cause of the present arrangement Of the
relation of labor and capital, there is no
deiputing the proposition that unless some
means are devised for giving employment
TO the surplus labor of the country the evils
from which We arc suffering will be greatly
aggravated, Sound public policy therefore
dictates that the nation shall at once under
take all public Improvements which would
increase the resources Of the country by
opening new markets for our produce and
~ bringing Now areas Of land under culn-
walton. In this way much of the wealth
which has been lost by the nation by strikes
and other calamities could soon be re
gained.
In the present state of the country meas
ures which ten days ago might have been
considered from some points Of view CT
doubtful expediency have now become neces
sary from every point of view. Iti,now no
longer merely a question as to whether it
would be wise to construct the Southern Pa
elfic railroad, and rebuild the Mississippi
levees, but as to whether any other means SO
effective can be found for relieving the labor
ers OF the country as by employing them on
those great works. This e~xpedient would it
is true, be but a temporary one, but it will
give our statesmen time to study the labor
question, and to devise some measures which
may prevent in future the recurrence of such
calamlties as those which have shocked the
nation during the past week.
All enlightened statesmen recognize the
fact that the labor question is now the SUI
premely important one. Its settlement in.
wolves not only the happiness and prosperi
ty of the laborers but the very existence oil
society itself. 1t is very fortunate .circum
stance, therefore that the nation has so many
important works upon which laborers car
be employed-works, too, which when COM
pleted will rapidly restore the capital de
stroyed by the wickedness and folly Of tn,
past week. Let congress do its duty in thi
great emergency, and a brighter future vii
open up for the nation.

The GAINESVILLE, Wisconsin, Gazette, in a
lengthy article upon the causes of the de-
preston to labor and the remedy therefor
says:
The outlet from our present difficulty
must be found in the location of labor upon
lands heretofore uncultivated, and the most
intelligent farmer, other things being equal
cannot fail to secure the greatest advantage
In the Competition for new homes.
Here is a way out of the trouble, which,
while it is not considered generally by the
people Of the east, is apparent enough to
those of US who live in proximity to the
free farms Of the nation lying idle for the
want of hands 10 till them. Dakota and
other western territories, with their millions
Of acres of wild lands offers homes to the sur
pies laboring population of the east
homes where they can not only pro-
duce for themselves, but for
those they would leave behind.
The nation is generous to its poor. 1t gives
to each man who possesses industry suffi-
Gent to make good use of the gift, a quar-
ter sectlon OF land, out of which he can
work a certain competence for the future.
Tho man or men who have the interests OF
the laboring classes at heart, will perform a
work most effective 10 its results BY pre-
vailing upon-the surplus population of the
overcrowded eastern cities to take posses.
sion OF the n~atio.al domain, and there
make their labor count for the coed of all.
There is too much non-productive industry
in the land-non-productive, we mean. in an
agricultural sense Too few in number of
the masses are making that which furnishes
life forsthe whole. The distribution of a
portion of the forces over these vast western
prairies would restore the equilibrium of
labor and bring back prosperity to all.
