SEARCHING FOR A REMED Y.

Such will never happen, but in case the
laborers Of this country should control the
government by mob power, asceudancy would
be ephemcral, their inharmouious ideas would
create war amongst themselves. The second
mob in quick succession would disable them
to compete further with law-abiding citizens,
hence our return 10 FIRST principles.
The fact that Congress saw the need Of
Investigating for the cause of the labor COM
plications, which have for the past few years
brought about so much distress and even
threatened us with the destructive fanaticism
Of the Commune, Is a promise that quiets for
awhile the terrible threats Of those who have
embraced the doctrine Of the Communist. Cou-
gress appointed committee, and that COM
nittee is now in session in New York listening
10 the grumblings of those who imagine that
they are wise enough to silt down the present

with the conceit and fanaiicism Of senti

We have not the slightest hope that ,hi

TIE TRUMPET IN INDIANA.

This week in Indiana the speech Of Gov.
Hendricks, which opens the campaign, gives
very clear indication Of the character of DEM
ocratic policy. AL; of the views expressed in
the speech are bold and well considered, and
his views upon all issues were genuinely Dem
ocralic. He presented most forcibly to the
people ofhis State the necessity of electing a
Democratic Legislature, thereby securing the
United States Senator. He is a warm advo-
cate of the return Of Voorhees, to the Senate,
and Is still faithful to his financial creed. The
Presidents southern policy he approved whilst
he denounced the legerdcrman that made Mr..
Hayes President. His speech throughout was
Of such nature as to make it a matter for the
consideration of every Democrat who wishes
to vindicate his rights that have been SO vio-
lated in the past few years.

safe. Then southern interests were swallowed
thing is depressed, whilst this depression is
growing more aggravated in the North the
South is gradually throwing off her clogs and
is making rapid strides towords her former
position.
This progress in the South must make some
suggestions upon the subject. 1t will lead to
a careful study Of southern interests, and it
will lead TO more general regulation of all
interests. 1t will bring the question so promi-
nen,ly before Congress that subsidies and jobs
must be ignored until an attempt is at least
made to check the evil.
The congressional committee earnestly re-
quest the cooperation Of the public in all Sec
tions. It proposes and requests the views OF
all employers of labor on the following ques-
tions:
First. What were the selling prices of your
pr oducts in 1860 and in each subsequent year
down to 1878, inclusive7
Second. What were the wages paid by you
for labor employed during each of these years?
Third. where the persons furnishing in
formation are willing to do so, the committee
invites them TO state the percentage Of profit
made by them in each Of these years upon the
capital employed in their business.
Fourth. What were The Wholesale and retail
prices Of the leading articles of family con-
sumption during each os these years in your
vcinity2
Fifth. What is the difference, If any, be-
tween the rents of tenements occupied by the
operatives in the years 1868 and 1878 in your
vicinity?
Sixth. What was the comparative amount
of the products of your business in quantity
and value in the years 1860 and 1882
Seventh. State the comparative sleadiness
ofemploy oyment of operatives between the years
1860 and 1878, inclusive.

DECLINA TION.

The Hagerstown Herald states that Mr..
Lewis f. McComas will not be candidate for
the Republican nomination for Congress in the
Sixth District, his business affairs forbidding
the responsibility Of a canvass.
If this be true Mr.. McComas has more
shrewdness than has been accorded him. The
declinaiou to run is a shrewd evasion Of the
chagrin Of defeat and an i'll investment Of
campaign funds. The Democrats are sure to
gain the Sixth District as Mr.. McComas
sagacity tells him, and the fight will be made
by those Republicans of bulldog tenacity.

we think. He intimates that Mr.. Walsh is
out Of the question Of denomination be-
cause he did not make a brilliant reputation in
Congress. This is not the cause Of the disap-
pearance from the field. 1t is due TO the fact
that the nomination is conceded to this coun-
~ and rightfnlly so. Mr.. Walsh was not sent
TO Congress to distinguish himself, but TO rep
resent his people, and We believe that he has
performed the duties Of his position at all
times with the approval of his conscience. Mr..
Blair's comments are likely TO create wrong
impression as t. the reason why Mr.. Walsh is
not In the field.
