against disturbing influences, composing

TIE Low WAGES Groom"

The collection and publication Of IA
Dor statistics has become the special
work Of q number Of commissions ap-
pointed by various State governments,
which, during the last two or three
years have prepared some interesting
and valuable reports. But these reports
seldom stop with the plain recital OF
statistics and comparisons. They are
often supplemented by .shrewdly worded
essays on the folly Of discontentment
and strikes among workmen, the waste
full extravaganza Of their methods OF
living, habits of drinking, and the high
wages they receive when the cost OF
subsistence Is considered, complred with
some period before the war. The publi-
cation and distribution OF these reports
annually at public expense is supposed
to be for the edification Of both employ
er and employed, without endeavoring
to disturb the relations that exist be-
tween them, /. e., without making an
official effort to change rates of wages
or systems OF employment. We notice,
however, that many of these reports
seem to be prepared expressly 10 impress
upon workmen the necessity of accept
ing lower wages or working more hours
and living in plaiher way, dispensing
with many eff the comforts and conve-
niences they now enjoy.
Whether the issuing of such literature
is a legitimate use of the public money
must be left to the electors of each State
(of which wOrkingmen constitute at
least four-fifths), but when the same
kind Of printed matter, aiming at the
same object, is sent out by department
of the United States Government, it be-
comes the duty of the press and the pub
lie to give II critical review.
The Department of state has just Is
sued volume embodying the reports
rom U. 8. Consuls on the condition OF
labor in the several countries Of Europe
which are reinforced by some very point
ed comments by our Honorable Secreta-
ry of State, Mr.. Vim. Evarts. Accord
ing TO these reports, wages in the United
States, in the localities selected for COM
parison, are double those of England,
France, Denmark, and Belgium, and
three times those of Germany, Italy
and Spain.
The prices of the necessaries Of life
in the United States are set down as
lower than in Europe, and in countries
where wagons are very low, 1t is stated
that the greatest happiness prevails
among working people. The report
aims to show that low wages, instead OF
being an evil, constitute blessing in
disguise, as workingmen when they are
obliged TO subsist upon small compensa-
ton learn habits Of economy. Full
wages tables are given for the various
European countries. Here is compare
son of wages paid in Brussels, Belgium,
in few trades with the same in New
York City.

Friends of law and order praise Den
mis- Kearney for preventing riot in San
Francisco on Sunday evening last. The
lives and property Of the citizens were
virtually in his hands. He stood at the
head Of an exaspered crowd of fearless
WOrkingmen numbering twenty thou
sand. One word from him would have
been sufficient. The mob would have
borne down upon the police and militia
and driven them back, and then torn
open the prison doors and led the De
Youngs to execution. Kearney was not
iHsensible of the great power which be
posse. sed, but he fOrebore to use it in de-
fiance of law. He has made a point.
His act will go far toward removing the
through the East year ago. The Work
ingmen's party has gained strength. The
cowardly shooting of Kalloch, their can
didate for Mayor, will bring them many
Votes and their success at the coming
election, in San Francisco at least, is as
sured. Too much cannot be said in con-
demnation of the De Youngs, and had
the angry mob ssgutted" their newspaper
Office or hanged them and ended the ca
reer of the Chronicle, it would not have
been misfortune. So long as the De
Youngs and their paper lives, the char
acters Of all who in any way have mer-
tied their dislike will lie in danger. In
nocence Is no protection. Only absolu e
submission will satisfy them. Their de-
mand upon Kalloch to Withdraw from
his candlcacy proves this. 1t is to be
hoped that Kearney will give further ev-
idence of wisdom. Law-abiding p ople
have regarded him as a da 'gerous man,
and they would look upon his elevation
to any office of trust as a great mistake.
Such an event is not improbable, and it
will be consoling to know when it trans
pires that Kearney has good judgment
enough not to abuse privileges entrusted

We are next treated with some OF Mr.
Evarts' reflections as follows:

of that country are happy and contented,

trious, and live within their means; and
that feeling of reciprocity exists be-
tween the employer and employed.
"It is thought that this reciprocity Of
feeling is made necessary in order to en-
able Belgium to compete with English,
French, and German manufacturers In
foreign maj kets, and thus secure en-
ployment for their own workingmen. A
few years of Misunderstanding between
capitalists and laborers, such as periOdi-
cally convuise England, would paralyze
Belgium and ruin both employers and
EMPLOYEES. Were it not for this recipro-
cal feeling which unites labor and capi-

Is GarcelOn Sold Out?

Democrats and republicans have noticed
with mild degree of interest that since
Wednesday last the name of Alonzo Gar
celon for Governor, has disappeared from
the Commercials columns. The lapse
of five days since its disappearance shows
that the suppression is not accidental, and
the query arises whether Bass has conclud-
ed to sell out all pretence of supporting
Garcelon. The indications that quite a
number of democrats who took the green
back dose last year are inclined to vote
for Garcelon this year, have evidently
startled the Smith fuglers, and Bass, who
is eheek-by,jowl with them, seems to have
been induced to haul down Garcelon's
name. Has a barrel been tapped at

Decrease of Pauperism.

There has been notable decrease of
pauperism during the last year, due to the
revival in business which has followed re-
sumption of specie payments. We have
taken pains to ascertain the facts in rela-
ton to this matter in this city, and we find
that the number Of persons helped by the
city his year is less than one-third whG IL
waS last year. As in this city, so through
out the State, and in other States, as we
learn from reports in the leading journals
and official sources, there has been large
decrease in pauperism. While the
grcenback organs wall about the poverty
of the country and the destitution of the
laboring class, the country is paying off
its debt, reducing the interest burden, as
tonishing the world with the great and va
ried products of its industry, and the pau
per list is steadily and rapidly on the de-
cline.

FAIRFIELD, July 20.
To the Editor of the Kennebec Journal:
We started a republican club here last
Friday evening, and it promises to be a grand
success. There seems to be large changing
over in all parts of the town; people have got
enough Of the greenbaek deusion, and are re-
turning to their old ranks.
In one Of the smallest villages in town last
year there were about 45 votes, 25 of which
were out-spoken Smith men, 8 Garcelon and
~ Connor men. But we have been round
with our club list and have enrolled already
% for Davis and shall get about five more,
The majority of the rest are for Garcelon,
know of but one staunch greenbacker left.
People generally have heard enough about
Davis's war record to convince them he was
true and faithful soldier and would now like
to have poor Pills (bury) give us his, espec-
tally when he was drilling the drafted soldiers
in kingfield. We think it would be good
idea for poor Pills to go and take a rest on
those splendid Government Islands he makes
so much ado about.

A Significant Omission,

1t has been the custom for many years to
publish with the "Acts and Resolves of the
Legislature of Maine list of members and
the payroll, showing the exact sum drawn
by each. We observe that the last legis-
lature failed to publish the payroll. Sec
retary Of State Cove who compiled the
work, has very thoughtfully given us a
list OF members, but he omitted to state
the amounts which they drew from the
State Treasury. Can it be that such a
statement would not make favorable
showing for his greenback friends, and it
was omitted that we might not be able to
see how many reformers drew double
mileage? We ask for an explanation.

Interfering With Republican
Meetings.

The greenbackers employed themselves
at the Davis meeting in Hallowell in dis
tributing circulars containing scurrilous
article upon General Hall, copied from
the Campaign Standard. They also dis
tributed circulars against Sherman in the
Sherman meeting at Augusta. We don't
believe the decent men of the opposition
approve or countenance this method of in
terfering with republican meetings 1t is
the work of the clique that origi-
mated and published the ISLANDERS upon up
on Mr.. Davis, who would resort to any
measure in political warfare. If, howev-
err the better men of the opposition don't
make their influence felt 10 check the
Pillsbury crowd, they are just as much re-
sponsible for the rowdy and black guard
acts of their party AS the blackguards
themselves. While General Hall was at
the front fighting rebels, the author of the
vile article against him was at home
doing what he could in aid of the rebel
cause.
