CnNElCTI.AROR.

The workingmen Of the South Side,
this city, held meeting on Saturday .
evening, to protest against the employ
ment of chesp convict labor, in the peni-
Tertiary at Moundsville, in competition
with their own honest efforts to earn
bread and meat for themselves and fsmi-
lies. This is an honest protest of honest
men against a dishonest system,
and we hope to see the protest
signed by every honest man who de-
msnds honest pay for his own honest Ia
Dor, within the borders OF this State.
The authorities of our penitentlsry
started out on the night track. The in
stitution should be made self-sustsining,
or as nearly so as possible, by the use OF
the labor of the convicts under the man
sgemenu and direction of the officers
not by manufacturing articles and selling
them at prices below that at which they
can be afforded by honest labor, but by
selling them ct the established market
prices. This is DO degradation OF labor.
This works no injustice to any one. But
the plan at present in vogue is, 10 sell
the labor of the convicts TO con-
tractor at one-hsii, or One-third,
or one-foUrth the price manufacturer
would have to pay on honest work
man. This is damaging competition with
free and honest labor, and the profit Is
solely reaped by the contractor, and
does not accrue in any degree either to
the public or to the State. Ii these con-
tractors were compelled to pay such a
price for the labor they employ as they
would have to pay for labor outside, the
opponents of prison labor would have no
reason to complain.
As punishment should be reformatory
as well as penal, some method must be
found Of instructiDg the convict in some
ha1dlcrais, whereby he may be placed
above the necessity Of committing crime
on bis liberation from prison. Further
moro, the State, having already.suhered
from, tho danrsdstions Of the criminal.
has a right to exact from him such useful
labor as shall in some degree pay the cost
Of his rnsjntaiDance while in custody.

that the Democratic ticket is composed
throughout of good men-that they re-
present the better element in the society

sass no political significance nor infuclcc,
