who suffers Most.
| From the New York sun;
The lsboring men suffer first from the gene:
raj paralysis which riots and strikes cause In oil
kinds OF labor and Of business. They want work,
and there is no work for them TO do, because the
bread and clothes for their children and they can
| earn bread and clothes no longer, because the
general amount Of work to be done has been SO
fatally diminished. At the same tilnc the rent OF
their poor habitntions has increased because taxes
have Increased aud IN the same way the price OF
all the neoessaries OF lite Is enhanced because OF
this new taxation. Therefore say that those who
suffer the most painfully irum the effects o. n tios
the destruction Of property thus causcd, are the a-
boring men without money and with families.

State rights and local sclfg lyernmcnt, Of the

troops exiles their native SOIL we find State

press local disorders, and State ner State each un.
able to communicate with the other by the or.
dinary means of transit. Not only freight and pas
