The National Grecnbaek Labor Party

The ''logic of events" which forced the
Natioaal Greenback- Labor Party into e1-
lstance was of vital import to the people, |
and the political changes that have occur
red since it came into existance, but in
crease the necessity for its continuance.
The men who severed their connection with
the old party organizations did not take
the step alone because of the wretched and
oppressive financial legislation that has
spread desolation throughout the land. The
moral rottenness among our legislatures
at Nashiugton; the carnival OF crime
amoung Office holders; the lack OF integrity
and honor among politicians. the uncheck-
ed license given to public men to their
| baser passions, whose example permeates
society like a vile serpent, drawing the
youth of both sexes into iniquitous lives,
destroying the stern virtue and manhood
of generation ago, were and are evils
that must be checked, and the way to ac-
complish the result is to elect men to of
fee whose teachings and example will point
to a higher place of honor, virtue and mo-
ralitv.
There are serious questions which will
receive the consideration of the National
reenback-Labor Party, and which will be
squarely met Among these are: Wheth-
er we shall continue to enjoy the inherit
anee of the equal rights of all citizens be.
fore the law and the absolute protection o!
every citizen in his civil and political
rights. Whether the suffrage shall be re,
stricted-as has been attempted, and the
political power ofthe Government be wiel
ded by a privileged class. Whether g
moDeyed power shall have entire contro
over labor and its products, or whether
the producer shall exercise that freedom O
choice in procuring for themselves a fail
remuneration for their toll that is assentia
to their we'll being, and which causes {
proper distribution of wealth between
the drones and toilers.
As the National Greenback Labor Part,
is the only one that North, East, South ant
and West is Numerically opposed to Nat
ional banks, an irrepressible conflict ha
d been inaugerated, and the agitation mus
: continue with increased vigor until tn
people triumph or are overwhelmed by
! relentless money oligarchy. With tn
z motto nailed high upon our banners. an
State or National Banks of issue" we shall
, surely win. The nation must exercise ab
solute sovereignty over the currency.

Protection for Miners.

To prevent in the future such terrible
mine disasters as that which lately oc-
cured in the Sullivant mine by explosion.
Mr.. Compton, of Brazil, Representative of
the Indiana Legislature, has prepared a
bill for the ventilation of coal mines,
which he intends to introduce at an early
day. The measures which form the body
of this bill, as published in the Brazil Mi
ner, are as follows:
l. Escapement by two outlets.
g Mapping of mine, showing the work
ing in the mine, and the lines dividing the
land where the mine is situated and that
of adjoining lands.
8. That no person shall mine nearer
than eight feet of the line dividing the
land where the mine is situated and that
of adjoining lands.
4. None but experienced and sober en-
gineers shall be employed.
5. The cages which men are lowered in
to and raised OUT OF the shaft have a cover
ing over head of top.
6. Every shaft or slope shall be secure
ly fenced off, SO that no person can be
ha rmed.
7. Miners shall have lien for work and
labor paramount to all other liens
Inspectors TO be appointed by the
Governor, and to hold office for two years
and give bonds in the sum of $4,000.

Seed Time and Harvest.

4 man does not become great Grimm
inal at once: he first undergoes long and
gradual process of degradation. Had these
steps been arrested, had society condemned
them, had his friends openly censured
them, had the voice of conscience been en-
couraged instead of deadened, never could
he have done the deed which has at length
plunged him into public ignominy. Lack
of integrity in little things commences with
the very children. When they hear injus-
tice condemned in large things and pallia-
ted in small ones; when their own childish
depredations are treated with levity, or
passed over with Indifference; when de-
ceitful practices are tolerated, and simply
troublesome habits are punished, it is not
strange that they learn to measure the
guilt of dishonesty only by the material
loss or annoyance entailed. So the young
man just commencing life in the workshop
the store, or the Office, finds that, up to a
certain extent, slippery dealing is tacitly Y
permitted, and gradually comes to use the
limit of detection as his only standard of
integrity. The manufacturer, in like
manner, will adulterate his goods just
enough to increase his profits without les
sening his sales; the tradesman will make
undue charges when he expects no investi-
CATION; the employer will deal unfairly
with those who have no redress. Is it
strange that such benignings should some
times make terrible ending?

Quantity of Bread In a Barrel of Flour.

Leffers Newsl
Under the above heading, you have an
article in your January number, from the
Prairie Farmer, signed "Iowa," in which
the writer says the Minnesota -four will
meke 27O to $50 lbs. of bread to the bar
rel, while that of Michigan will not make
more than 240lbs., and asks, in great sur.
prise,-"can this be true?" 1t has long
been we'll known that wheat consisting en-
tirely, or almost so, of starch will not make
nearly SO much bread as that containing
a large proportion of gluten. 1t is we'll
recognized fact that the Michigan wheat
is almost entirely composed of starch, and
that accounts for the smaller amount of
bread to the barrel of flour. The Fultz
wheat now being introduced into this sect
ion, has little or no gluton in it. 1t is
largely grown in the Cumberland valley,
Pennsylvania, and has been ruin ous to the
| flour trade of the miilers. The Clawson
| wheat is also being introd uced here, and is
very popular with the farmers on account
of its prolific yield, but it, like the Fultz, is
almost if not entirely destitute of gluten.
The -four lacks strength, and will therefore
make but small yield of bread, and is I'M
iversally condemned by good bakers, moi
on that account, but because it will not
make large sized loaf in proportion to its
weight. No miller making high grade
of flour dares to buy it atany price. A choice
grade of flour cannot be made of either
| Fultz or Clawson wheat this is the univer
sal testimony of all of all who have tes tee
them. Farmers should avoid sowing
them. A word in season TO the wise il
