ON THE TARHF-CARD" CAMPAIGN.
The following circular has been issued by the
Mechanics Club. of New-Haven, composed of the
contractors. foremen and employees of the works OF
Sargent & Co., the hardware manufacturers, whose
office is at No 81 Chambsrs-st., New-YOrk. There
are employed in the works over one thousand men:
THE MECHANICS CLUB,
started by the contractors, fOremen and employees at
the works Sargent Co., respectfully invite their fe
chancs from other factories in the city join
them III their organization
THIS club believes sat the times have changed for The
better That after the long depression through which
have passed, have flgnt expect years OF
prosperity. We think that present Government has
satisfied an thinking men. We recOgniZ. that the COM
try has everything 10 give IL prosperity, that labor is
well employed currency Is good, and that win
large Gro and busy factories the right road
convinced that the times cannot be improved by
uysctmg the present order things, but that, the
change OF the Government and Its policy AT
this time will confusion and doubt. We salts
fed that the introduction OF ficreut views o. the
currency and the adOp ion OF dangerous laws the

capital tmId and postpone prevent enterprises that
would be vigorously prosecuted IL the people con-
tdent of the Government Is plans We prefer t. let
wei enough alone, rather than 10 plunge into dangers

We oppose any interference with the tariff al the de-
mand of the South, which has sympIthy with
manufacturing interests. We believe the Democratic

The American manufacturer already labored under
the disadvantage of high wages compared TO
those OF mill hands abroad. Girls were paid in
