AN INTERRUPTION.
A SIDE SHOW.

In the meantime, about as many
hundreds IS Logan had Thousands
gathered ON the other side of the
court house to hear q harangue from
Weaver. He invited Judge Ssmp-
con to 60 with him and hold their
joint discussion. The Judge assented
and went around to the place with
him, but the greeubacakers had no no.
ton of allowing Judge Sampson to
be heard. They refused to allow him
to 60 upon the stand, and one impu-
dent little democratic lawyer, named
7. B. Perry, shamefuily insnited him.
Then Weaver made his little speech
undisturbed, and his party here, be-
ing afraid TO have him meet Judge
Sampson, refused to allow Q joint dis
custom after Gen, Logan was through
and in the evening, as the republicans
designed.
THE MISSISSIPPI PLAN A FAILURE.
The unreasonable conduct of the
greenbackers in this matter, and their
Mississippi plan to attempt to break
up General Logan's meeting, has ut
terly disgusted our people generally,
with the whole greenback party, and
numbers Of orderly citizens who have
been acting with it, have this day re-
nOunced all connection with it, and
will hereafter be found in the repub-
lican ranks.

FORGETTING THOSE THINGS WHICH ARR
RFHIND


The "truth Of history" is many-sided
thing, and changes very often not only with
the eyes that look at it. but with the time of
looking. The EimTd AdUertiSer amuses itself
by discussing the truth of history apropos to
the charge of Hd,peJ's Weekly that the speech
of Mr. Thomas c. Pratt at the opening of the
Republican Convention a year ago was "full
"Of gross insults to the President and Cabi-
"net." The speech certainly raised n ire
mendous storm at the time, and yet one who
recalls only the hubbub is a good deal
puzzled now in reading over the verbatim re-
port of the speech itself, as The Adrertiser re-
produces it, to see in what corner of it the
nltro-gyceune waS stored. This seems to be
about the worst passage:

TILE HLLLES F1LLNRE.

The failure of an eminent Quaker in Phila-
delphia the other day brought to light the
peculiar method adopted by the Friends to
keep each other square in business dealings.
Every six months members of Meeting are re-
quired to state whether their assets equal their
expenses if there be any suspicion of ex-
travagance or speculation the offender is adj
monished if the offence be continued, he is
suspended and if, as IN the present case, he
is found wholly unable to pay his debts, and
resorts to the usual desperate means of sink
ing men to raise money, he is declared no
longer a member of the Society.
This close watch over the weekday doings
of the sect keeps its members on a
path exceptionally straight and honest.
Your brOad-brimmed Friend, whether lac deal

milk, viii not bate you a penny of his price, but

children, and it is the first duty Of his life to

makes the pauper earn his aims. A failure
like that of Mr. Hilles is almost unknown
in the history of Qualiensm. His debts amount

or sold. The price of cotton or wheat
may change every day in the year, and
several times in day it may advance
or decline % per cent on account OF
injury to the crop OF an unusual supply
abroad, but the wages of the plantation hand
and of tho farm laborer are fixed at the be-
ginning of the season, and are not changed
with the varying price of the articles they help
to produce. The same is true OF the wages OF
mechanics and operators employed III manu-
factories their wages remain substantially
the same when markets are brisk ana
when they are dull, when capital realizes
large profits and when it sustains losses.
Wages always remain unchanged long after
the prices of other things seem permanently
to have advanced or declined, unless they are
affected by demand for particular kind OF
labor that it is difficult to supply, or by a
supply that is greater than the demand.
Not only is the price of labor less mobile
than that of other things, but its fluctuations
are invariably less in degree than those
of the necessaries of life Every one
will remember our own experience during the
war and Immediately after its close. There
was scarcely an article of provisions or cloth
ing that did not advance in price far more
rapidly and in much greater ratio than the
wages of labor, although there were from 1861
to 1865 exceptional causes in the withdrawal
of hundreds of thousands of men from pro-
ductive industries to push up wages more rap
idly than they would naturally have advanced.
Numerous examples might be cited to prove
the truth of this assertion, but single one
will suffice.
thermometers in New England earned in
1860 about SI1 n week. Their wages gradu-
ally increased during the war and the years
that succeeded, until, before the panic in 1873,
they were paid $40 week, the increase being
45 per cent. Now they receive $13 a week.
In 1873 prices of commodities were much
lower than they had been in 1865 aud 1866,
and a weeks wages would for the first
time purchase about the same quantities
of the common necessaries of life as III 1860,
although there had been times when prices
had been proportionally much higher than
wages. Indeed, that had been true most OF
the time after prices began to advance. Now,
a New-England irOn-mOulder earns Is per
cent more than IN 1850, while a dollar is just
as valuable as it was before the war.
If new initiation of the currency should
now take place there is no reason to believe
that wages would advance az rapidly as the
prices of articles of general consumption, and
the difference would represent an actual loss
to the workingman. The laborer whose
wages are increased only 10 per cent gains
nothing if he has to pay an advance of 20
per cent for everything he buys. Initiation at
first, therefore, will make the lot of the work
ingman harder. instead of easier.

"FL4T" MONEY ROBS THE W0RKINGNd
Flood the country with "liat money! give
to prices an upward tendency and the wages
of labor will be incrcasedthus it is that the
working people OF tins country are appealed
TO by the inhatiOnisis both Democr is and
Nationalist. 1t is undoubtedly true that a
revival of business, even though it should be
only tcmporary-a bubble blown up by specu-
lation and sure to burst at the very time when
its collapse will be most disastrous-would,
for time, affect the price of wages, as
it would TINT of almost every other commOd-
ity purchased OF sold in the market, but it
does not, by any means follow that the work
ing man would be benefited thereby.
The most superficial study of the laws gov
erning prices disclOses the fact that the same
causes OF sets of causes affect in greatly diff
fering degrees the market values OF staple ar
Sjces Of commerce. The prices Of some COM
mOdities seem to be remarkably sensitive, while
those of others are very stable, chang
ing only when violent disturbances take
place, or when a new order of things affecting
values has become firmly established. Fluc-
tuations in rates of wages (the prices paid for

The death-list in the Southwest contains
over $500 names. The plague has not made
any Roadway during the last twenty-four
hours except in the few cities where its raw
ages have been so terrible. The health officer
of this port is now confident that Yellow Jack
cannot unfurl his flag in our streets this season.
In the interests Of harmony it is perhaps as
well that the Paris Exhibition should with
hold the announcement of Its awards until
near the closing day. The exultatiOn of the
victOrs and the grOans Of the defeated would
deprive the great Fair of its pacific charae-
ter. The managers should, however, have
fixed the date of distribution earlier in the
season. As it is, some exhibitors have learned
that they are to receive prizes, and they are
ANNOYED that there should be any delay in
announcing them.
The National Greenback party being con-
fraternity of the shirt-sleeve, the leaders make
a point of taking off their coats when they
preach the new gospel Of peace. General But
ler's Man Friday did this in England,
and Farmer Holt appeared in the same uni
form yesterday at the New-Hampshire Con-
yention. The author of the stringent trump
law in that State was unsparinsly denounced
by the representatives of the new party.
This Is natural How can they expect to Or
ganize the movement if the main body Of
their constituents is legislated out of the

Twenty-eight millions a year have been
saved in interest on the public debt by fund

directed attention to the fact that the most
unmitigated democracy in the world has de-

prospective liabilities, while the aristOeRtie
Government of Great Britain have igno-
bly, handed over theirs to posterity.
He gives us credit for having more
honesty than financial skin. Yet the interest
of the American debt, which was once the
highest paid to Government creditors any
where on earth, has been gradually reduced to
good borrowing rates. 1t must not be for
gotten that this is one of the beneficent re-
suits Of the financial policy of the Republican
party.
