Democracy and Labor.

Senator Pendleton, of Ohio, delivered a
speech at Cincinnati, from which we take
the following:
Now repeat again that the Democratic plat
form has always been that labor should be COM
pensated and rewarded to its fullest extent; that
the man who earns his daily bread by the sweat
of his brow, has right to sleep on just as good
bed and eat just as good bread as the men
of Massachusetts And |, for one, can speak
feelingly the question: for if there is any man
who has earned his bread by the sweat of his
brow, believe am one of them. Let me tell
you further, that it is because l believe in the
rights of labor, and of laboring men, that in the
darkest hour oil the Democratic party have
stood on its platform and fought in its ranks
And if there is, or has been, a party organized
in this country that is a friend of the laboring
man and of labor, that is the Democratic party.
And when it ceases to be true TO its history in
this regard, l will join any other party that does
more for the elevation of labor and laborng
men than it does.

All accounts from the Exposition are to

A Word Of ReprOach for Oursel YES
from Arkansas.
A gentleman living in Atkins, Arkansas,
who has been for several years . subscriber
of the SENTINEL, writes us q letter in re-
gard to his subscription. in which he un-
dertakes a little criticism which is not
altogether just, for we think that we have
discussed the silver question pretty thor
oughly. His ideas, in the main, however,
are 30 good and SO applicable to the condi-
ton of things in Nevada that we are
induced to publish a. extract from it to
show that there is ct least one man in the
land Of greenbacks and gold who can ap-
preciate the value of silver as currency.
Says our subscriber:
The SENTINEL is q good Democratic
paper, but neither it nor any Of the West
ern papers are doing their duty on the
silver question. When silver 10 demone-
tized we shall all wish we had o it an
Issue. The Republicans and Eastern Dem
ocrats are determined to destroy its use
fulness somehow. The people are being
deceived by the gold-bug howl that silver
is only worth IS cents TO the dollar, when
it is all owing to its partial demonetiza-
ton. just give US unlimited coinage Of
silver and demonetize gold and see what
an ounce Of silver would sell for. We
ought to contend for the fqll remonetiza-
ton Of silver, and put up with nothing less.
