Ohio Independents.

Robert Schilling, Of Cleveland. Chairman
Of the Independent State Committee, has Is
sued a call for an Independent Greenback
State Convention, to be held at Columbus
OHIO, June 9th, to nominate candidatea foi
state officers t. be voted for at the ensuing
fall election. The basis Of Representations
from each county is one delegate for each
1000 votes cast for President at the last
election, and one delegate for each fraction
OF 800 votes or over.
If the men Of Bonneville, Mass would
help their fellow men If New Bedford,
who are fighting tooth and toe nail against
an unjustifable reduction, it would be
more to their credit than getting up pre-
sentatiun meetings to hand thsir Overseerr
and Superintendents $1,000 aud $40 On
watches. There are women and children
starving in this country What do you
men mean Have you no fellow feeling
for your kind Is it true. that you turn.

reckoning will surely come.

MAKE NAY WHILE THE SUN SHINES
And Deposit the ProOeeds Of the Hay
IN the GERMAN Savings BaAk.
PROMPT, SlFB AND RBL ABLE.

Mechanics and workingmen you have
passed through long and dreary winter.
Many Of you have been out Of employment
fer months. You have felt the need Of q
dollar time and again, and you who have
had foresight to provide for a rainy day
have felt the advantages of having an open
day came or the larder needed replenish-
ing. And now that work is opening up
that buildings are being commenced an OPP
portunity will be given you to make up
what you have drawn on your reserves,
don't forget or neglect to make hay while
the sun shines. Five Dollars a week de-
posted during the Spring and Summer
months i'll the German, will furnish you
the best friend you require in the hour Of
nsed-will enable you to get through the
dreary months Of winter when work can
not be obtained-with comfort while the
thriftless are compelled TO live from hand
to mouth.
There is one fact We desire to impress
OH your sttention-and that is that no
man or woman had ever cause for regret
because they commenced the practice of
deposlting their surplus earnings in a reli
able Savings institution, while thousands,
even IN our own city, now independent,
owe their positions to the incentive given
by the first dollar thus laid aside for future
use. A man who has bank account, and
balance on the right side of the ledger,
can avail himself of a thousand bargains
and opportunities which the moneYless
man knows nothing at all about. So it
has been-so it will continue to be.
But It is equally important that . relI-
able institution should be selected As your
depository, and too much care cann,t DO
exercised in making such selection To
every city reader of the ADVOCATE who
proposes following our advice, and there
are no doubt many strangers among them.

CIGARMAK sRs' STRIKE-The workmen at
Robinsons cigar manufactory, Nos lis and
M Fifth avenue, struck yesterday morning
The cause was that rules had been put up by
the proprietor providing in substance that
here must be deposit OF one weeks wage /;
that man who is not present by half past
7 o'clock cannot begin work until afternoon ;
that if a man takes a cigar he is liable to
ferfeit weeks pay and that every man must
be searched before he leaves the premises
that any roller who makes a cigar SO hard
that it will not draw will forfeit a week $
wages and that if cigar is not filled out the
workman will have to pay forfeit Of from
one to two. land half cents, and make an.
other cigar to take the place 81 the condemn.
ed. The mensobject to several Of these rules,
especially to the one about searching them,
which they look upon as perpetually sus.
pscting them of thievery. They also say il
is the custom in shops to allow the workmeu
t. take a cigar now and then, and that the
fOrfeits are excessive. For these reasons
they quit work, and they assert that they
will not return until the offensive rules are
abolished.
