Butler AMONG WoRKINGMEN.-Gepc
Butler addressed meeting of several hundred
Workingucn yesterday afternoon 10 the Office Of
the New York Advocate. lie said there bad
never been fair division in this country or
within the last generation between capital and
enterprise nor between enterprise aad labor,
for the reason that most of the money Invested
10 enterprise was borrowed capital aud must
pay large interest. aud then when that interest
was to be got agaI1 it must be got out OF labor.
While the legislation Of the country for the
past sixteen years has been in favor of money
and men Of mooey, and not 10 favor OF enter
prise or the labcrcr. Let all property be taxed
just once and DO moro. Then taxes would
grow less. lie suggested as remedy for over
production, caused by the extensive use of
machinery, the cutting down Of hours OF labor
enc hour per day, if necessary. Everything
was in the hands Of the laboriug classes, and
they could be rightcd by eeoting proper men
to fill the Offices Their Own safety was in or.

send any man to Congress who shall vote that

his kind, shall have better opportunity in So

LONDON. April 30.--Thc Mark lane Elk
press says; The gcnerltenor Of agricultural
reports is distinctly satisfactory as regards
wheat and spring corn crops, and it is very
seldom that advices from the rural district
as TO weather work and crops record so few
complaints as at present. Business is neces
sarily restricted in Mark lane, owing to the
Easter holidays. Supplies Of English wheat
have been light and prices have undergone
little or no change, either in London or the
provinc S, and quiet but fairly steady
tone prevails. With political affairs I'M
settled the holders of foreign wheat have
been content to satisfy the retail demand.
Exports for the past week amounted to only
$500 quarters against 5000 and 5000 re-
spectively.in the two preceding weeks, from
which it may be seen that the requirements
of the continent are for the present supplied.
This important element Of strength being
wanting holders only had the ordinary
consumptivc wants of the country to fall
back upon, which do not appear to be large,
although there has been sufficient business
to prevent the prices receding to any quota
Bile extent The millcrs, generally speak
ing. hold fair stocks. America has filrh-
ished the bulk of imports OF wheat into

moderate with fair arrivals at ports, or call.

uneasiness; but business was restricted, ow-
ing to the holidays. Maize advanced six

PROVIDENCE, II. l., April 30.-Thc run

activity as yesterday. Extra precautions
were taken by the police on account of the
advent Of circus, with its attendant pro-
fessional thieves, and the depositors are
guarded against pickpockets. Up to this
time all checks are cashed in the Provi-
dence National Bank. In this bank are
piled up great quantities of bills Of all de-
nominations. A continuous supply Of funds
is arriving dali and is as rapidly paid out.
The panic-stricken people will not be as
sured OF the safety of the bank, and many
of the women are carrying large sums in
the bosom of their dresses, being afraid to
deposit or leave the same at any place for
fear of losing it. The bank officials will
