Put Down the Money.
From the New York Observer.


Col Bob 1ngersoll, in speech full
of ribaldry and blaspbemy. made in San
Francisco, recently said:
Il Will give $1,000 in gold coin to
any clergyman who can substantiate
that the death of Voltaire was not as
peaceful as the dawn; and of Tom
Paine, whom they assert died in fear
and agony, frightened by the clankine
chains of devils-in fact, frightened to
death by God. will give 81, 600
likewise to any one who can substantiate
this absurd story. a story without a
word or truth in it."
We have published the testimony and
the witnesses are on hand 20 prove that
Tom Paine died a drunken, cowardly,
and beastly death Let the Colonel de-
post the money with any honest man,
ann the "absurd story" as he terms it,
shall be shown to be an .'ower true
tale" But he won't do it His talk
is in6del "buncombe," and nothing
more.

Are the Trades Overdone !!

''Learn trade" has always been a
staple article of advice to young man.
1t has been handed down from remote
antiquity as a rule that applies without
distinction to class or previous condi-
ton. So thoroughly has the youthful
mind been imbued and nourished with
this eternal admont,pn, that the idea
may well be moulded into form and
made the 10th article of faith. The
result is apparent. Every avenue of
the trades is filled to OVERLOOKING with
artizans and mechanics who are clamor-
ing for employment Especially is tins
true as country advances IN age
Manufactures are established to employ
the capital, and the youth are early
taught to prepare themselves, that they
may be able to live upon this capital.
As each generation is horn into the
world it is trained and moulded for the
life of its p,oSenitors- Hence the iac.
tories, machine shops and all corpora
tions, employing skilled or class labor,
are besieged and thronsed constantly.
Capital centralizcs and the tradesmen
multiply. By its disproportionate in
crease, labor loses value relatively. 1t
is just here that the conflict begins. In.
stead of seeking new fields for employ
-nent the mechanic still insists upon re
receiving full work and full pay. Fol-
instance. there are FIVE engineers and
ancalculably more fIemen to each engine
in this country, and thousands ready tc
learn the business. 1t is not strange,
.rhen. in these days Of straitened fnan-
cial matters. that railroad companies
should demand the light to regulate the
Irice paid for labor in proportion to the
The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1877-07-26

great supply. The market of skilled
labor is glutted. Is it reasonable to
suppose that in that condition the
market can dictate to the demand I?
Political economy recognizes the reverse
of such a law, and yet the trades or
yanize vast unions, march into the
presence of capital and demand that
their far reschiDg ranks shall still sus-
tain their wonted relation to employers.
The demands of striking traiesmen
are prepostcrous, but they are the out
growth of an erroneous education. The
time when the injunction to learn a
trade was correct in principle, has pass
ed away. The perpctuation Of this idea
is running the country. Despite the
fact that the western half of this con-
tlnent is rich IN natural resources with
few to reap the advantages, the east is
crowded with workmen who have lean
ed upon another's capital until all in-
dependence is destroyed and mobs are
numerous and malignant The curse OF
a young mans life, ordinarily speaking,
is an education that teaches him to re-
gard trade as sine qua non of ex-
istence. Little relief from strikes will
be enjoyed until there appears a great
err diversity in labor and more independ-
ence among the laborers. Strikes are
two edged swords that cut both ways
with equal fatality, and yet they will
continue to exist until the remedy comes
through its proper ource.-Madison
Democrat.
The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1877-07-26


The strikers on the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad have lost their hold on
public sympathy by appealing to force
and disturbing the pubic peace. What
ever wrong the corporation may have
done them is now lost sight Of in con-
demnation of their insurrectionary pro-
ceedings. 1t is unfortunate that work
ingmen are so often misled by their own
leaders, and the hands of noisy dem
agogues who lack the capacity to adj
wise and to carry on negotiations, and
are often unscrupulous and treacherous
OF course it is very hard fer the work
ing people to have their pay reduced
when it was uncomfortably small before
But a great deal of business is done at
a loss this season, and very few people
are making money. The tendency of
prices everywhere is downward; and
there seems TO De no help for this state
Of things until there shall be change
in the policy Of the Government or the
persoael of the Administration.

The late Governor Packard, ofLouis-
lana. stopped in Madison a few days
this week, on his return from Des
MONIES, where he went to stick a dag
ger under Hayes RIB. He was greeted
by the anti Hayes republicans at Madi-
son. The meeting between Packard
and Tom Reynolds is said to have been
particularly touching. Packard was
detailing bis woes in the Office of the
Park Hotel, and Ten stood leaning
against the great iron post, scratching
his back. When Packard told him
how he was showed out Of Office, Tom
embraced him, fell upon his neck and
said: Il too am bereaved," and faint
Cd . There was not dry eye in the
house. Reyes leaned against the cigar
stand and sobbed as though his heart
would break. Marshal Oakley struck
an attitude of despair, sat on a trunk
with brass nails in it, and gave way to
his emotion. Phil. Spooner leaned
against the counter, turned CHASTITY pale,
and said to Capt Spencer, 80, God,
but this is too much" Judge Braley
came in and said. 1t is none of my
funeral, but the corpse looks natural. "
Judge Orion looked in the window and
said, Bah ~ Charley Bross put his
arms around the water cooler and laugh
ed in his sleeve, and played the sweat
on the bereaved for his own tear but he
never weeped wopc. Huntington came
in but declined to sob and blow his
nose" The thirg went on until Mr..
West, the proprietor of the hotel, said
he hoped he should net lie accused OF
not paying proper respect to the deccas,
cd, but he must insist on more hilarity
and less mourning. or he should have
to refer the party to an undertaken in
an aljoining block 1t was indeed a
sad occasion. La X San.

The men employed in making up
trains and work of that character at the
Michigan Central railroad depot in
Chicago stopped work Monday night.
No attempt was made to interfere with
the business of the road, however, the
men declaring that they had no SYM
pathy will lawlessness Of the sort so de-
plorably prevalent elsewhere. They
demand more pay than the railroad
company is willing to pay them, and,
their demand being rejected, they ex-
ercise the unquestionable right of refus
ing to work for unsatisfactory wages.

Ludington Supposed TO be Happy Now.


Governor Ludington spent the Sab
bath in the city. He appeared light
hearted and happy. Evidently "dere's
heap o'trouble off de ole mans mind !"
But with the boys who run the repub-
lican politics Of Wisconsin, the trouble
has only begun. The faction which
has been advocating the claims of Will
liam E. Smith, has suddenly collapsed.
Many of its members admit that they
were only running Smith to make it
hot for old Harry in Milwaukee," by
dividing his home delegation. and some
that their motive was to "making the
old governor bleed" which is a synonym
for spending money among the caucus
bummers. Whatever the true inward
ness of the Smith movement here really
was, it is now manifest that its support
has vanished and is now confined to the
purists and temperance advocates of the
great party Of moral ideas. The recent
managers of Smiths campaign are gen.
orally in favor of the nomination of j.
NJ. Bingham, of Chippewa Falls, while
the Ludington men are looking toward
the sage, smiling, dignifed Hincr, of
Fond du Lac, or the astute, diligent
and earnest Cassodav, of GAINESVILLE In
few weeks the cliques will show a
more decided policy.-Niiwaukee Cor
