THE BLESSING OF LABOR.

/ believe that for most men more than
eight hours work per day is required for
the maintenance of physical, mental, and
moral health. think that for most men,
including operatives. mechanics, farmers,
and clergymen. more than eight hours
labor per day is necessary, in order to
keep down and utilize the forces of the
animal nature and passions. believe
that if improvements in machinery should
discharge men from the necessity Of labor
ing more than six hours a day. society
would rot in measureless and fatal animal
ism. have worked more than ten hours
per day during most of my life, and be-
lieve it is best for us all to be compelled
to work. 1t would be we'll, | think, if we
could make it impossible for an idler to live
on the face of the earth. Religious teach
ers are not without responsibility tor hay
ing taught that the necessity of labor is a
curse. The world owes most Of its growth
hitherto to men who tried to do rs much
work as they could. Its debt is small tc
the men who wished to do as little As pos.

Hold Them To It.

With the brazen cheek for which repub-
Lean editors as class are noted, the
organs of that party continue to spread
broadcast the lying statement that the
democrats refused to pass an appropria-
ton for marshals. This statement is
made in defiance of the truth and in the
face of knowledge to the contrary, 1t is
part Of the tactics of the republican party
10 accomplish by lying that which the
truth will not sustain, and in perfect
accord with this rule resort is made to the
usual argument of Misrepresentation.
The republican party is alone to blame for
the failure to make provision for the mar
shals, and on the fraud Hayes, who, from
partisan motives, vetoed the appropriation
passed by democratic congress, must
the blame rest. Hayes is a creature Of
fraud, who owes his present DO
sition to fraud. who connived al
and was u party to the fraud, anC
now as part OF his bargain he refuses Il
sanction the payment of marshals ant
deputies, unless the further provision il
made for the creatures of the republican
party 10 the role of federal supervisors
The amount of dirty work done by thes
scoundrels in 1876, and again in 1878 il
St. Louis and New York, was of incalcul
able benefit to the republican party. TIL
democrats passed all of the appropriations
and Hayes Fifth Veto is the cause o
the marshals being out of funds. An,
there is not republican editor in tn
country unless he bean ignorant fool, bu
knows this to be so. The cougressiona
record proves it, the people know it, an
Hayes and his porty must be compelled t
shoulder the blame. Let democrats Sc

Alleged Treasury Frauds.

The Republican press has begun the sus-
picious task of attempting to belittle in
advance the forthcoming report Of the SEN
ate committee on the treasury book-keep-
ing, and TO disparage the statements on
the same subject made by Hon. NJ. Glover
of Missouri. 1t is admitted that there are
discrepancies between the statements Of
the public debt made by the secretary and
those made by the register of the treasury,
but the explanation of these, say the Re-
publican papers. is that the register makes
out his statements from the issues and re-
demptions of bonds, while the secretary
makes his from the receipts and expendl-
lures, and this causes an apparent differ
euce where no real difference exists. This
explanation has been made before; but it
does not explain. 1t makes the matter worse
than it was at first. The most slgnlhcant
discrepancies that Senator Davis has
brought to notice are, not between the
statements of the secretary and those OF
the register. but between the statements
of the secretary, alone. For example; IN
the secretary's report for 1870, the
public debt in 1864 is put down at 81. 74O,-
600 800 aud in his report for 1871 the pub
lie debt 10 the same year, that's lS64,is put
down at 81 $751; $40, SO, In 1870, the
secretary gave the public debt for 1869 at
81, 4S9. 0O2, $50, and in 1871 he gave it at
$2,5SS, 1929. 10 1870 he gave
the debt for that year, 1870, at
81, $50, S5S, 500, and in his next reports,
he gave it for that same year, 1870, at
50, 4S0,572, 427. These discrepancies run
through the debt statements, clear back to
the year 1884, the debt for a certain year
being differently stated in the different re-
ports of the same official. So, too, of the
receipts and expenditures; the statements
of them on a given year do not agree, even
when made by the same official; in his re-
port for 1870 they are stated at certain
amounts for certain year, while in his
report for 1871 they are stated at different
amounts for the same year. These strange
discrepancies have never been explained.
They ought not to exist. Official state
ments of the same item ought to be truth
ful and invariable; when once made they
ought to stand as history. But Senator
Davis shows that during the Grant admin
istration, the statements made by secre-
taries long dead were changed, and made
to tell a different story from what their
authors intended.
As to the Glover report, it is too serious
to be disposed of by laughing at its author
as crazy. Mr.. Glover is not crazy. Earnest
and jealous he assuredly is, bnt there is d
method and deliberation in his work thai
command respect, and there are charges Of
fraud in his report that must be either an
swered, or taken for true. If the Repubii
cans can dissipate the grave suspicious o
systematic official fraud in the manage
ment Of the treasury under Secretarie
Boutwell, and Richardson during the Gran
administration, they had better set abou
doing it. If they attempt to meet then
with derision and disparagement it will b.
