bounding on the dogs of war against
Hon. John Hancock read the follow
ing, from the Flatonia 1rgus: "John
Hancock favors the repeal of the re-
sumption act; the reconciliation of
silver; the payment of the national
debt according to the terms of the
contract; the substitution of United
States legal tenders for national bank
notes, and their permanent re-estah-
lishment as the sole paper money OF
the country; making greenback a le-
gal tender and receivable for all
government dues one currency
for the government, the PEG
pie and the bondholders: the
repeal of all laws having a tenden-
cy to enrich the few at the expense of
the many; the protection of the Texas
frontier by the general government and
the reimbursement Of the State of Texas
for all sums of money expended in that
behalf; home rule; the supremacy of
the civil over the military power: the
separation of Church and State; the
equality of all citizens before the law;
absolute acquiescence in the lawfully
expressed will of the sjIrity, and the
maintenance of public school system.

Cause Of Hard Times.

Professor William G.. Sumner, pro-
fessor of political and social science of
Yale College, gave to the Congressional
Labor Committee his views on the SUBJ
ject of the depression of business
through the country. He said the
changes in business have been produced
by the revolution in the means of trans
portation and communication. In
former times merchants and manufac-
turers hsd to keep large stocks OF
goods on hand, in some cases for
months consumption, but by the tele-
graph and rapid transportation the
productions Of distant chimes Can
be made readily available in q
very short time This has caused
glut of capital and glut
of stocks. When the condition of
things is readjusted to suit the present
times, the whole world will be bene-
flied and the depression of business
will disappear. Machinery has cheap
ened what were once luxuries, and has
improved the condition of mankind.
The first effect might be to depress
muscular labor, but the advantages
would come with time. Prof. Sumner
believed imitation might improve mat
tiers for time, but it would have to be
maintained by further mutations, and
the ultimate result would be national
bankruptcy and reputation. He
said that If Congress undertook
TO make the bonds payable in
greenbacks, there would be such
howl that the measure would be re-
pealed within six months time. The
speaker knew of no way by which
legislation could relieve labor unless
by reducing taxes. He regarded the
protective tarff as burden. He did
not think there could be such thing
as over-production.. There might be
disproportionate production, as, for
Instance, where a builder produced
bricks enough to build 1000 houses,
and had lumber and other materials for
only 1900 houses. When there was a
disproportionate production there
would be a fall in prices, and it would
soon stop.
Prof. Sumner secuted the notion that
the government could establish land
colonies with any sort of success. The
government offers in the homestead
act all the inducements that can be Of
fered to settle on the public land. He
would leave the transportation of colo
nists to private enterprises. He knew
of nothing that could be done by the
government to assist the non capitalist
10 accumulate wealth. He already has
the greatest liberty for the exercise of
his energies. Society owes no man a
living. II the government should nrn,
vide a living for all of its citize
nation would become one of pa,

The Difference.

Going over to Butte creek. one day this week, over the same ground we used tO Iravcl in early ti,neS, reminded us of an incident of thnSe days. IL was in the summer of 1852 that the steamer Express. Captain Morgan. landed here some two hundred men, just from la belle France, none of whom could speak q word of English. They were bound for 0rOvillr, and got thus far If Ihe track. Through an interpreter they found here. we directed them how to go by way of lhe French crossing, or Butte creek, To the place of destination. Every man was rigged out with blankets, and small pick. The day they started out waS an exceedingly hOi one, an numbers broke down and die0 "n the plain be tween here and the creek We passed that way week or ten days sfier and the stench was intnlerable. The Ii st skeleton we passed was only about i've miles oui. The cayOies and vultures were having fer~t. As they nearrd the creek the bodies became thicker.

 All this happened in Butte caunIy, California, one of the most fertile and productive counties in that stale. Over the very graves of the unfortunate ad- venturers, perhaps waving fields of golden grain give wealth and beauty 10 the land. or trees may bend beneath theIr heavy weight of fruits. Yet, if some wandering prospector in Arizr ma should today die in some remutel mountain faSIness from want of water, California journals, forgetful of their early days, would herald the fact abroad as aD evidence of the steIiliIy 1f Arizona.
