INCREASE THE ARMY"

The cry has gone forth.
The demand is being made all along
the communistic line.
1t was first sounded from the towers
of Wall street and is echoed back from
Chicago through the Tribune and 9TH
er gold cUmmunistic sheets. 1.-The
regular army should be increased to
90 900.
They have stepped on the worm,
and for fear of its sting, they call up
cue.
The Tribune declares that $4,000
soldiers is not too many for country
like the United States to maintain.
Shame on Il country like the United
States to be compelled to arm one
portion of its citizens to shoot anOth-
er.
If the government was just to its
citizens there would be no need of an
army to suppress the rising indigna-
ton of the oppressed.
Restore to the people their inaliena-
bic rights to life, liberty and the pur-
suit of happiness. and no army will be
required to make them peaceable, law
abiding citizens.
The people have been robbed, driven
from their workshops, and deprived OF
the means of subsistence. and now
robbers ask that their murmurs and
com plants be suppressed by the bay
onet.
The Shylocks want monarchy
They know they cannot long maintain
their Lnholy relation to labor, in a
free country where every laborer is a
sovereign.
They want to deprive labor Of its
sovereignty.
They know that the condition they
have placed labor in, will cause it to
rebel. The rebellion of labor at lis
hard fate, will be the keynote OF war
They knew as we'll ten years ago as
they now know. the effect of their
! finance policy upon the labor and in
dustry of this country
| They knew it would rebel. Human
| nature is alike. the world over.
They have had in fitting Tor the last
two years. their best soldier.
When labor does rebel. they want
then fifty thousand regular troops for
an Imperial guard. then military law
will be declared throughout the land.
Grant placed in supreme command. a
permanent Dictatorship instituted;
then farewell liberty and popular SOW.
g; eighty.
This call for fifty Thousand soldiers
is "A tantalizing insult TO an already
outraged populace.

ed specie payment few years ago,
are for the purpose of shooting down
men and women driven TO desperation

They are for shooting down laborers
clamoring for work that they and
4 their little ones may live
A government that cannot win the
respect and loyalty of its citizens BY
its protecting. fostering care, does
not deserve to be perpetuated. and
any citizen who SO far forgets himself
his God and fellows, as to enlist to
fight oppressed labor is unworthy OF
the protection of society or the name
of tree man.-Pekin Legal Tender.
The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1878-06-06

Fast returning prosperity has
been with us for some time now-in
the columns Of the hard money or
gans. But this is not period for
fancies: people look for the facts.
Dun, Barlow Il Co.'S commercial agen-
cy report 3.355 failures in this country
for the past quarter, as against 1850
.or the first quarter Of 1877. Liabili-
ties. first quarter Of this year. S64.-
07S, s26. just $50. 000, 900 more than for
the same period in 1877. Oh. yes.
prosperity is fast returning
wards.
1.-The cruel working Of our social or
der lies in this: That there is moth.
ing coming to the producer beyond
necessaries and decencies of life, and
that even the most loathsome and irk-
some labor is not sure Of subsistence.
In this: That all increase of capacity
to produce does not inure to the bere.
fit of labor, but goes to enrich the
capitalists. In this: That a man
does not become richer the more he
works. but. as we have seen, the more
others work for him."
The novel sight Of a woman having
her boots .'shined' on the street, was
seen in Rochester the other day. The

DOGS IN THE GREAT STORM

The recent storm upon the plains
was perhaps, the most severe ever
known. On the morning of the
storm two freighters, Mr.. James
McDermott and companion, started
from camp Robinson for Sidney with
their teams. They were soon lost
and became separated. and last Satur-
day Mr.. McDermott WAS found
under the following circumstances
He had wandered for IL days, accom-
panied by two dogs, without food Of
anykind. exposed to the storm day
and night, and sleeping without shell
ter. or covering OH the cold ground.
To add to his sufferings, one day he
saw near him some COW boys. but was
too weak to call loud enough to attract
their attention, and like ship
wrecked seaman who sees sail APP
proach, but before it comes within
hailing distance, bears away again and
disappears, he saw them pass from
him. On last Saturday these same
COW boys heard q faint barking or yelp-
ing like that Of dogs, and following
the sound they came to them. The
dogs were also reduced to skeletons,
and scarcely had strength to stand,
being in the last stages of starvation.
The COW boys threw them some meat,
but instead Of eating 1t themselves,
they picked it up in their mouths,
got on their trembling limbs, and
tried ~ carry it to their master And
thus he was found. The fact that
the dog refused to eat the meat given
them, although they were dying of
starvation, but attempted to carry it
to their furnishing master, is testified
TO By men Of nnimpeachable veracity
Mr. McDermott was carried to Sid
ney, where he is under the care Of
the post surgeon. with fair prospects
of recovering, although badly frozen,
while the dogs have been cared for at
a camp near where they were found.
NcDermott, in his weak state, talks
constantly Of his dogs, and begs for
them to be brought TO his bedside,
which wish will be gratified soon-
Many things connected with the great
storm will doubtless long be remem
bered, and the stories told around
many camp fire; but We predict that
the one longest remembered and
oftenest repeated will be the story Of
the two dogs who. when dying or
hunger. and the food in their mouths,
refused to eat. but tried TO carry it to
their starving master.-Onsah0 Her.

LIGHTNING ROD SWlNDLERS.

\ gang of lightning rod peddlers,
representing the Globe Lighting Rod
Co.. have been operating quite extern
sively in the eastern part of the coun-
ty, and a number Of farmers in Qnin-
cy and Dover have been induced to
invest in their wares at extravagant
figures. The business is conducted in
scienentific manner, and the unsus-
pecting are victimized before they are
aware of it. Their modus oDerdndi is
about as follows: A smooth and
smiling advance agent first appears
with IA heavy copper wire rs sample,
and takes an order for lightning rod
at 81 IL cents per foot. Failing to
get the order at that price he invaria-
bly, agrees to furnish the rods for a
less sum and promises in addition to
warrant the rods and keep them in
repair for series Of years without
extra expense.-Having obtained the
order he departs, and in few days a
force of men arrive to put up the rods,
when perhaps it is discovered that
they are far inferior to the sample rod
first exhibited. Shortly after. a man
arrives to settle for the rods, and the
farmer. much to his surprise, finds he
is obliged to settle on the basis OF
81 IL cents per foot. amounting, fire.
quently to many times the price
agreed upon.-Rocherfer Port.

To the People Of the United tates

Owing to the pressing demands from
all parts of the country for the i'm
mediate organization of the National
party, the executive committee of the
National party of the United States
has adopted the following means Of
action. out Of which it is believed will
grow 4 perfect and uniformed
organization of the party in the diff
ferent states.
Upon the application of ten or more
voters who have organized a council
of the National party in any locality.
and elected officers consisting of a
chief vice chief. scribe and a
treasurer, and reported the state.
postotfice, township and county. or
city and ward. in which it is organized
together with the names of the said
officers. the national committee will
issue to snch organization an engraved
charter emblematic of the principles
and objects of the National party and
a constitution and directions for the
organization and government OF the
council. Each application must be
accompanied by the sum of one dollar.
This sum will cover the expense OF
issuing the charter. ans will secure TO
each council the privilege OF obtaining
printed documents. badges, campaign
song books and other campaign goods
from the national committee at cost.
or As near cost as practicable.
The national committee will also
issue charters TO young men S councils.
to consist of youths under age, upon
the same terms and with like
privileges to those granted to the
councils of voters. The object of the
formation of young mems councils is
to inspire the youths of the country
with - realization of the great strug-
gle upon which the nation has now
entered. and to educate them in the
vital questions of political economy
and good government.

The FRENCH WQhkMEN.

Did you ever watch a party of
French workmen! The day begins
fol them nominally at o'clock, which
is earlier, must admit, than my OBJ
sesvation Of them begins. An early
rising friend describes them as usually
arriving on the scene from to half
past. The first thing they do is to sit
down on some convenient stone or
bench, and have q talk. Pipes come
out, and are leisurely lighted, and to-
bacco is a great promoter OF cOnyerSa-
ton. Presently arrives comraue
with 4 newspaper. which he unfOldS
and reads aloud; the performance be-
ing much enlivened and protracted by
continual comment, and followed by a
general discussion of the company.
All this may last an hour, at the end
Of which coats are laid aside and the
blouse put on. and tools picked up and
a good stroke of work is done till
break fast. 1t is the late French
breakfast which is responsible for a
good part of their dawdling. Break
fast is solemnity with all classes;
with the laboring men hardly less
than with MS betters, if betters he
have. Perhaps he goes to a cafe for
it; perhaps it comes out Of handker-
chief and is eaten on the thumb; in
either case the ceremony is begun and
carried on and concluded with every
circumstance of leisurely deliberation.
There is at least as much talk as eat
ing, for the Frenchman is temperate
in diet apd in drink. and takes an
hour to dispose of 4 meal which an
Englishman would dispatch in tive
minutes, asking for more as soon as it
was devoured. Then another pipe
and more talk; then a stroll back to
work; then discussion how it should
| be done; in which all the men in the
vicinity politely take part. You
may see "A carpenter lay down his
plane to offer his opinion to 4 mason
about the foliage he is carving on a
capital; and SO much natural taste or
instinct have the race that the car
penter's opinion will probably be
worth hearing. The mason will prob.
ably requite the obligation b. hints
to his friend the painter, and SO on
This is hrotherly, and perhaps the
work is well done at the end, but
