longer than is necessary only adds to the
prevailing stringency. The question whether
thepresent moment is not inopportune for the
promugation of such an order should inn
pressivcly suggest itself TO the mind of the
Secretary His legislative record is i'll favor
of frequent payments of interest to bond
holders. Antecedent to the passage of those
funding measures for which he stands
sponsor, the boudholder received his in
terest only semi-annually; those meas
ures provide that it should be paid quar-
terly. 1t is inconceivable that he should
signaize the success of those meas
urcs in refunding the National debt
by q blow at the interests of labor in the
opposite direction. II caunot be credited
for moment that he will thus place in the
hands OF his enemies an additional weapon
to be welded against his party during the
Ohio campaign. How will It sound: Time
of payments of interest to bondholders re-
duced 80 per cent time of payments of
wages to Government employees increased
100 per cent,-from semi-monthly to
monthly.
1t is probable, however, that Mr.. SHER-
MAN knows nothing of the issue of the
order complained of. The policy was an
nounced in his absence, to take effect Octo-
Der 1. No doubt he will hasten to revoke
it, as being obnoxious to his recorded policy
and his well-known views of justice TO the
rights of labor.
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1879-09-02
sEMI-MONTHLY PAYMENTS.

Attempts in the Sunday press to attach
blame to the popular disbursing officer of
the Secretary's Office of the Treasury De-
partment for the issue of the recent cir
cular authorizing the discontinuance of
semi-monthly payments are to be re-
GREETED. Although these payments unques-
tionably add much to his regular labors in
.disbursing and accounting for the funds,
this officer has never shown any indisposi-
tion to oblige those whose necessities de-
manded these semi-monthly disbursements
The reason for the issue of the prohibitive
order probably has more important and
influential foundation than the mere per-
sonal convenience or wish of q disbursing
agent; for if these were the only incte-
ments, monthly payments might, perhaps, be
suspended upon the same plea, as there is
no ldW requiring the payment of salaries of
department employees oftener than once in
three months. II, therefore, the order were
made at the instigation of the "Shylocks +"
or to oblige the disbursing officers, would it
not have gone the whole hog and simply
required the pay clerks to conform to the
requirements of law in the payment of
salavies? Is it not little rough, under
this aspect of the case, to charge the OBJ
noxious order to the influence of the pay
clerk of the Secretary's office?
Aside from the foregoing questions, there
is an important view of this matter which
may have escaped the attention of the Sec
retary when he made the prohibitory order.
" Frequent payment of labor wages" is
one of the dearest rights Of the laborer 1t
forms one of the most important demands
of the labor element, which is now assert
ing its rights in the most formidable, not to
say threatening, manner Persons who
labor for monthly stipends and lndr
themselves are obliged, in default of FREE
quent payments, TO obtain credits for their
subsistence from month TO month. These
credits involve risks to merchants which
must be paid for, and the result is an addi-
tional cost to the consumer of something
like twenty per cent for subsistence beyond
what the same goods might have been OBJ
tanned for in cash. The laborer belongs TO
the creditor class. He credits his employer
for his wages, greater or less time, as may
be agreed upon but there is no class Of
community to whom prompt and frequent
cash payments of wages is more important
in an economic point of view, than the Gov
ernment employee. All of this class may
not appreciate at its full benefit this inn
portance, but such neglect does not il
, the least detract from the Importance o
frequent payment nor from the justice of it
adoption as a rule. The Government is il
no wise benefited by the retention of th,
, funds in the Treasury, while the detriment
Q to the employees is considerable and tn

WHILE the Democrats in Ohio are at
tempting in vain to make capital out of the
repudiated and generally unreliable GLOVER
report, the Republicans of that State will
do well to remind them that the only real
steal exposed therein was an out-and-out
Democratic steal, authorized and perpe-
trated by our distinguished Democratic
Congress, through the influence and mani
pultation of the Appropriation Committee,
According to GLOVER, as we'll as the assess
ment books of the District, the land upon
which the new building of the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing is located is as
sessed at 1854, and has heretofore paid
taxes at that rate. But it was purchased
by the Government, as above described, for
the extravagant sum Of $27,536. TO make
this explanation more explicit it is only
necessary to add that the former owner of
this bit Of realty was a prominent Demo-
cratic banker Of the District, one who never
fails to WELD potent influence with the
Southern Brigadiers, for he was among
their most earnest sympathizers during the
war, and ia reputed to have contributed
largely to the TILDEN campaign fund il
1876. Perhaps this purchase money wa'
paid to him in part remuneration for that
outlay.
