TILE CAMPAIGN IN IOWA.

The campaign in Iowa this year is noticeable
chiefly because of the exhibition that DemOc-
racy is making of itself. Ii il proving, what
has so often been proved before, that 1T ia a
party without a principle. This time the DEM
onstration Is accomplished by coalition OF
Democrats with Green hackers, on the spoils
basis. Intelligent thoughtful Democrats in
Iowa, as elsewhere throughout the country, re-
pudiate the vicious financial theories OF the
Greenback party. But this element in the
Iowa Democracy has been sent to the rear.
The element that is at the front and controls Is
perfectly willing 10 indorse anything that the
Greenbackers may submit to them, provided
the GreenbackeIs in return will help them
capture the Offices 1t isl programme with u
Inoral-ha who runs may read the status OF the

plisb by it is to increase their strength in the

The recent auti-Jewish riots in Russia 40
not appear to have been openly abetted by the
authorities as were the numerous outbreaks tnat
occurred in 1881 after the death OF the Gar. IL
is officially reported from st. Petersburg tnae
the troops are acting with energy in suppressing
the outrages, but if that were true the r'o's
would cease. The fact is that the Russian
Government has Disseminated against the ne
crews in many ways Recently 1t expelled
harmless member of the race from st. feters-
burg, although he was to remain there Tor IL"
days only to transact commercial business
Official acts of that kind have encouraged the
long-contlnued mob attacks, the brutalities Oh
which rival the atrocities of the Turks IN Bull
guria. An official commission was ap-
pointed months ago to report means u
remove the primary canse of The riots, but moth
ing has been heard of it since. The cause may
be found in the fact that the Hebrews usually
lend money, which the so-called christians
borrow and do not want to repay. There are
about 5000, 200 Hebrews out of apDpuiation
of rs, 900, 900 in European Russia. The expert

Jews may yet use their power in some other

raised by trades unions2 Simply this; the
burdens of labor have been increased. In
nearly every case about which testimony has
been given before the Committee, it has been
claimed that as much as one-third had been
added 10 wages, which would average about
$3.50 per year for 100000 workers, or
81, 500, DOC, 900 yearly, if the wages OF all
workers had been thus raised. But It Is mani
fest that all have not been thus raised; the
fact is that part of the laborers have placed
a heavy additional burden upon the rest. Inc
cost of living has been increased for all labor
by this process But the Trades Unionlst gets
back increased wages enough to cover his In
creased burdens, or thinks he does. Whether
the other labOrers have the added burden TO
bear without any benefit he does not care; IL
he is strong enough, he means to extort what
he can from society, and those who cannot do
likewise must bear the load as best they can.
Tn reality, fully half the workers are employed
in agriculture, and fourth more in other
occupations in which combinations to raise the
price of labor are impracticable The one
fourth remaining may have added to their
wages, il the claims mad, are correct as much
az $3.50, 900, 900; if so, they have SIMPLY ex-
torted about 1897 0O0,0O0 from other work
ers by increasing the cost Of their living, whne
increasing their own net earnings to that extent.
This would be the largest robbery on record
if it were true-but 1T is not.
The fact is that the trades unions nave not
Increased the actual earnings OF laborers' as
they pretend. This they have done, 1t is true;
they have caused a nominal increase In the
wages paid per day or per ton. But, In con-
sequence, they have been employed fewer days
In the year. Less iron has been mined ana
smelted and manufactured than would have
been if the wages of labor had been lower.
Less coal has been taken from the mines;
half time or total stOppage for months mas
left thu miner less money for the year than
he would have earned at lower wages with
full employment. Fewer buildings have been
erected subject to the dictatlOn OF trades
unions-and fewer still will be erected in the
future. Mills by the hundred have stopped,
because their products at the present cost can
not he profitably sold. So it has been through
all branches of trade in which artificial wages
have been exacted. We believe that labor
has actually lost more by partial employment
or unemployment, in consequence OF the
high cost of production, than it has gained by
the advance in rate of wages when employed.
The laborer has had to bear the burden of
more costly living. But he has not gained, IN
most cases, the advantage of larger earnings
the whole year together. And meanwhile, by
his folly and selishness, which have done him
no good. he has put heavier burdens upon the
backs of other workers. The cost OF produc-
ton has been increased, and therefore the
minimum price at which products can be sold.
The Iaborer has simply required other laborers
to support him part of the time in idleness,
and this he calls "doing battle as true

Postoffices are OF the first, second
third aud fourth class. PostOfires of
the first. second aud third clsss are
called Presidential Offices because the
postmaster Is appointed by the Presi-
dent Of the United States. while post
masters Of fourth class Offices are np-
pointed by the Postmaster Ge,er.l.
When the revenues OF an Office are
sniheien. to warrant salary of 5000
and Upwards, the office is ranked as
hrSt class; from s 900 to 5000, Sec
ond class: from 81. COO to s.. 200. third
elass; and when the salary Of the post
master is less than 81 900 the Office ia
ranked as fourth class Office. The
salaries OF postmasters Of fourth class
offices are regulated by commissions on
stamps cancelled at tho Office, and not
on stamps sold Ra wns formerly the
rule. The latter rule was annulled for
the reason that a species Of fraud was
practiced by postmastsrs, their commits

By recent Act OF Congress which
takes effect October lst, 1888, the com.
missions allowed to postmnsters Of
fourth class Offices on stamps cancelled
are as follows: On the first $50 or
less per quarter. 100 per cent; the mex.
500 or less, GO per cent; on The next

when the revenues Of the Office, exclu-

Office and the salary Is regulated ac-
cordingly.
