A Labor Bureau, such as is propos,
ed in Representative Murch's bill,
could easily be made worth more
than its cost. 1t is designated to
collect Information on which legisla-
ton may be based, and trustworthy
information on such subject is
'cheap at any price" There is no
better weapon than a bundle Of facts
with which to put down a dema-
.gogue in Congress or out of it. A
great dealof The value of the infor-
nation to be collected will depend,
however, upon the character Of the
men chosen to superintend the work.
The bill provides for appointments
by the President, subject to confirm
alton by the Senate, but requires
that the members Of the Bureau
shall be chosen from persons actual
ly employed in productive labor
The Philadelphia Record thinks this
class is so large that the Limitation
does not amount to much, but it is
really not necessary that good stats
ticians of labor shall be laborers. AS
matter Of fact the well trained pro.
fessional man or student of statistics
is more likely to be free from the
trade prejudices, which, if permitted
to influence the presentation of facts,
will make them Of little value as
guides to legislation. If Mr. Murch
desires his bill to reach its best uses
he should take care to provide for
skill and broad intelligence some
where along his line. Bare columns
of figures may be made to sustain
any side of any dispute We have

bles that did not requires two pages

A Sensible Move.

Among the various measures that
have been introduced in Congress to
make war upon the close.fsted pol
icy Of Secretary Sherman and relieve
him Of immense fund Of coin that is
now lying idlein the treasury, there
is one now being considered by the
Banking and Currency Committee
that is received with some favor, and
with some modification may be re-
ported favorably.
This bill requires the national
banks to hold all their cash reserves
in standard gold and silver coin,
and forbids them to hold greenbacks
as any part Of such reserves.
The object sought is, of course, to
push the greeubacks now held in re-.
serve by the banks, into circulation.
Under existing laws the banks hold
in the neighborhood Of a hundred
millions Of greenbacks in reserve.
If they are required to exchange
these greenbacks for coin, the volume
Of paper currency would Of course, be
largely increased. 1t wouldcirculate
with more facility than coin. II
would not stick to the banks as gold
does. There would be no possible
motive for the banks boarding it,
such as a prospect Of a premium, &c.
II would be equivalent to adding a
large amount to the volume of cur
rency without in fact increasing it
one dollar.
1t would also open the way to re-
lieving the Treasury of the large
amount Of silver that Sherman has
so much troublein getting into circu-
lation. He would doubtless protect
gold reserves as long as the silver
would hold out in redeeming the
greenbacks.
Should this pass, about twenty-five
millions ofsilver dollars, and seventy
five millions Of gold coin would be
transferred from the Treasury vaults
to the vaults Of the banks, and the
coin reserve in the treasury would
be reduced from one hundred and
fifty millions to about sixty millions,
while an hundred millions would
be added to the greenback circula-
ton.
Although this is not properly a
move by the greenbackers, IL looks

The "stalwarts" are putting on
their war paint. The Northern
heart must be fred, the bloody shirt
waved, and the sectional chasm
spread wide open. The poor negro
and his wrongs must be brought to
the front and held up to the gaze Of
canting hypocrites in order that this
bleeding country may be saved
from Democratic control. These
lively topics are now the political
stock IN trade Of the Republican par.
ty. Sectional hate and the animosi.
ties growing out of the late unhappy
war are the lively themes which
they propose to dilate upon until the
close Of the contest in 1880. Noble
and patriotic themes, and noble
and patriotic party, truly Agita-
tion and sectional bitterness brought
it into existence and into power, and
by clinging to these issues they hope
to retain their hold upon the Nation.

natical whoop the Republican party
would have been dead and buried
years ago; in fact, in the absence Of
this suicidal cry that party would
never have had an existence.
The Democrats have an important
work to perform in the coming con.
test. 1t behooves them tostand firm,
or, in other words, as it has been
more forcibly termed-to stick! They
should not permit themselves to be
led off by side issues. This is their
hope of success, and the great hope
of the country. Bloody shirts and
bloody chasms have nothing to dc
with the true and living issues
which will be involved in the Preei.

The OkaIona Lunatic.

1norder to show our readers the way
in which the Southern States, published
at Okalona, Mississippi, is kept alive,
they have but to read the following
letter. This is proof conclusive that
the States is being published in the
interest of the Republican. party, by
Republican money, in order to mis-.
lead and fire the Northern heart, as
to the sentiments and feelings of the
Southern people. If there ever was
a case of justifable "bull doing"
this seems to be one, and the people
of Okalona, ought to demolish the
States office:
KENYON, O., May 3.-People who
wonder why the Okalona Southern

North, and why it is so extensively
copied from by the Republican pa.
pers will probably be enlightened by
u perusal of the following letter.
which explains itself:
