Bach and His Organ.

Not only the artist and lover, how
ever, hut the craftsman comes before
us in the record OF Bach's early church
organist life. He knew all about the
technical build of the .huge house Of
the Sounds" AMI his thoroughly prac-
teal specification for the repairs and
improvement of the organ ut his next
post tho Blasins- kirche, Mt Mnhlhau-
sen. which is given in full, is very in.
tcresting. as we'll in its provisions as in
its downright and dictatorial tone, MS
of man who knew thoroughly what
he was about, and would have no
scamping. Unfortunately, even mu-
steal readers in England know gener-
ally so little cf tho mysteries Of the
organ that we must fear that quotation
from this document would not be ap-
preciated here: but it may be men,
toned as showing how little Inclined
was Bach at this time to anything like
asceticism Of the modern purists on the
organ, that he not only gives special
directions about the repair of the
"tremulant' SO that it may be regular
in its pulsations, but that he added to
the pedal new "glockenspiel.' or
scale Of bells, played 10y the pedal keys.
What would be said to this in modern
church organ? There is a glockenspiel
stop on the Crystal Palace organ. and
when the first organ-plaver Of the day
presumed to introduce this at the last
Handel festival, in particularly pell-
lie passage in Handels First Con.
certo, we remember how the critics
came down upon him. Bachs former
organ at l.nneberg had "eymbal-
stern" also, eontriyance for striking
cym5als in the organ. probably by a
special pedal. Whether these adli-
tions are really i'll keeping with the
genius If the INSTRUMENT. and whether
Bach himself, IN hs older period of
more serious organ composition, would
have cared rs much about them, Of
course may he questions to be asked !;
hut the fact is interesting as showing
tl.at organ concerts in the good cd
days We're by no means the sedate and
solemn affairs tha. they are often sup
posed t. have been. - EdiliLu,yh lie

Gen. Butler In Chicago.

Gen. Buffers speech ut Battery ID, last
Wednesday, says the Chicago Sentinel, was
brim full of practical suggestions and
sound political sense. We condense some
of the most important. and ask for them
unbiased reflection and careful considera-
ton.
DON'T THROW AWAY YOUR VOTES.
We are met on every hand by Democrats
and Republicans who say: oh, am a
Butler man in principle. believe in the
platform and measures of the Peoples
party. and have full faith in the ability and
integrity of your candidate. and if thought
my vote would elect him, Butler should
have it. But / fear he stlnds no show Of
election, and Il don't want to throw away
my vote" The answer to all such is:
What have you been doing with your vote
for the last twenty or twenty five years."
Ii you are Democrat you have been
throwing away your vote all these years
You threw it away on Douglas in 1860; YOU
threw it away on Mcclellan in 1854; you
threw it away on Seymour in 1868: you
threw it away on Greeley in 1917; you threw
it away on Tilden in 1876; you threw
il away on Hancock in 1880; and You will
throw it away on Cleveland in 1884.
If you are Republican, you have thrown
away your vote every time you have cast it
since the death of Lincoln. You have worse
than thrown it away, for You have given it
to your enemies To be used to your dis
advantage.
The laboring men, the vast majority Of
the people, have received nothing for their
vote but stripes and burdens: therefore
your votes have been thrown away SO far as
the people are concerned. lou have given
them to capital, and not to labor, and they
have been used to build up great monopo-
lies, to rob the people and misdirect the
Government. The Republican party is con-
trolled by Northern monopolists aud the
Democratic party by Southern monopolists.
each Of whom desire to control the labor Of
their respective sections, and to the labor
ing men of each section il is not copper =
consequence which gets in. In either case,
labor Is left out in the cold, and its vote is
thrown away.
LABoR's POWER.
The census of 1850, with probable i'm
crease since, shows that there are in this
country about IA, ,nuu. 900 men engaged i'm
productive labor, divided as follows:
Agricultural pursuits .s4ea, 90
Mining and manufacturing. ..,... ..... 2Ou, ,ua
Trade and transportation mot mer~
Making total OF ii, 600, 600 men who labor
with their hands.

in 1880 was 8, s,s66,0Oo.

Evil Oycrruled for Good.

Away back almost If not quite to pre-
historic times although usnry has been de-
nounced by saints. statesmen and sages, il
not only has never been suppressed, but,
like the disease referred To by Pope, the
poet, has grown with our growth and
strengthened with our strength In fact,
SO thoroughly has it become interviewer
with our political system that il seemed at
one time impossible to eradicate il without
disintegating society.
But where patriots, philosophers and
philanthropists have failed in deyising
modes for its extirpation, the usurious
classes in their efforts for larger aggmn-
dizement and ampler profits invented
mode of supplying money free of interest
by the Government which has been i'll prac-
teal operation for nearly a quarter Of
century with extremely satisfactory results
to such borrowers.
We refer to the clause IF the national
bank act which compels Government to loan
money free of interest to usurers on deposit
of certain well-deiined securities. That
practically points the way for settlement of
the usury part of the money question. Ii
is suggestive of Sam Adams argument as
10 removal of the British regiments from
Boston when he argued that If the Govern
ment had power to remove one regiment il
had power to remove all.
For if our Government has power to loan
hundreds Of millions of dollars to Insurers
for usurious purposes, as il has done for the
last twenty years, il has similar right 10
similarly lend to producers for productive
purposes.
This singular procedure Of our Govern
ment is no new departure. Nearly two
centuries ago, when the Dutch under the
Prince Of Orange successfully invaded and
subiugated England, the Bank Of England
was created and endowed with a like free
borrowing potency which aided him III de-
yastating Ireland, and III this country the
Legislature of New York State practically
did the same thing when 1t created the
safety fund" system.
At least one eminent National Bank Presi-
dent has denied the right Of Government to
thus aid usurers while denying the same
advantages to other classes, and il is to he
hoped that when Congress reconyenes in
December next the matter will receive early
and effective attention. Irish World.

WHAT THE NEW PARTY WANTS.
The first thing the people want is fair
division Of the profits arising from the in
dustry of workingmen,
Gen Butler asked the Democratic ron-
ventibn: "Will you ngree to give US plank
In your platform promising this" No.
they said
Statistics show that the wealth Of this
country has increased within the last twen-
ty years SO much as to show thit every
working man has earned $500 year, while
he has got of that but $500 year. Hence,
under present laws, each laborer and pro-
ducer of wealth contributes 5000 a yenr 10

while the many poor who earn NIL receive
barely sufficient to keep soul and body to-
gethcr. There Is a man In Chicago who
made $4,000, 900 within month on cor

man who does that is liable to fine and i'm
prisonment, and if the laws Of Illinois were
executed he wo,ild be in prison, as he ought
tn be-"
To prevent strikes, and to settle all differ
ences between labor and capital, or between
employer and employe, this new party
demands IN arbitration tribune. Gen.
Butler asked the Democratic convention to
insert such plank in their platform. but
they spurned the proposition because the
Democratic party is controlled by South
ern capitalists, whose labor is mostly col

fine and imprisonment to work men by
contract OF otherwise, except i'll case of ne
cessity or mercy, more than sixty hours in

It demands that the importation Of con-
Wet and pauper foreign labor, under con-
tract, to compete with the free labor of this
country, shall be prohibited by law.
1t demands such tariff rs shall protect

ment, but not for the protection Of capital,

We hope that the closing words of the
Generals speech will sink deep into the
heart of American labor and stimulate the
people everywhere to labor for victory:

FOREIGN CROPS.
The National Agricultural Depart.
ment Report.
washington dispatch. !

The report Of the Commissioner OF Agri-
culture for September has just been issued.
II gives very interesting report on the con-
dition OF the crops In Europe, India, and
other foreign countries.
In Europe, rs compared with last year,
the barley and ont acreages have fallen of
s $40 per cent. and $40 per cent,
respectively. and tho slight gain Of "a per
cent in wheat has no significance beyond
the fine condition OF the land in tho last
sowing season.
A dispatch to London from Calcutta OK
presses the opinion that India will be able
to export 5O.OOO,OO0 bushels Of wheat to
foreign countries this year. The Commits
sioner observes that the increase OF exports
from India from few hundred thousand
bushels per nnnum ten TO twenty years ago
to 37,146,543 bushels in 1882, and
39,127,977 bushels Of sixty pounds for
1884 (yeat ended March 81, has excited
the attention Of the wheat-growing coun-
tries. II is known that India comes near
to France and Russia in the volume Of
wheat production, and that these countries
have only one ont ranking competitor--the
United States Of America.
The Commissioner speaks Of the folly Of
attempting to feed the nations OF the
earth" He says: The area in wheat Is now
80, 500, ,0G0 acres, and 100000 acres arc
cultivated in excess Of the wants Of the
country, the produce Of which must be
sold abroad mainly in Liverpool in compe-
tition with the grain Of Russia, of South
America, Of Austria, and Of India. II
is sent 1900 miles by land and 5000
miles by sen, and from California
more than half round the world
to compete with the half civilized
fellahs of Egypt and the slaves Of India.
1t is competition unworthy Of American
freemen, and utterly unnecessary, being
caused by bad calculation in the distribu-
ton Of crop areas, for while We export one-
third Of the wheat production we import
ne-seventh Of nll the barley consumption
and 800, 900. 600 worth Of sugar At foreign
valuation, which brings $3.50, ,OOO, 900 in oti
local markets, in addition to the costs and
profits of refining here"
