lows had the audacity to publish to the
workmen that their names should be
published, and sent from one rolling
mill to another throughout the Ohio
Valley, as the name of criminal is
sent from one police station to another.
The next step, to be in keeping with
their past actions, should have been to
send the photographs of these poor dis
charged workingmen out, as the picture
of rogue is sent hither and thither to
detect MIN.
Because they do not bow to their
masters, like Gesler they would strike
them down. For nearly four long
months these men have divided their
funds with each other; shared provis-
ions with each other, or We're only
kept from want, in the city below us,
by the charitable aid of kind friends,
whose curses and maledictions will fol-

lutions.
We have tried to put before the work.

citation. They can see how the work.
ingmen of the Ohio Valley have been
treated. The hearts of the wOrkingmen
are sympathetic ones. The actions of
the discharged millmen challenge the
admiration of every friend of justice.
Sorely needing work, honorable, indus
trious, and not addicted to street loaf
ing, and idleness, they are helda arms
length by the grinding action of the
iron managers, who are seeking to
break their Unions, and PROSTATE them
beneath their feet. Will workingmen
all over the land encourage them?
How much better would it be for that
Association to rescind the unjust reso-
luton passed at Louisville and treat
with their former workmen against
whom they cannotand dare not breathe
q word a calumny. They know them
to be good citizens, and though they
may not dress in broadcloth and drive
through the city in fine equipages, they
hold their honor as high as the men
who would degrade them.-Tin,es,
March 2S, 1874.
BELIEVE IN PROTECTING WORKING
MEN.
We believe in protecting" working
men, not mOnopolies. Weare in favor of
low interest, low taxes and fair wages.
We are opposed to any laws. or Gus

mouth of labor the bread it has earned.

WHAT LABOR HAS WROUGHT.
This country largely belongs to labor.
Labor developed it. 1t scaled our
tunneled our hills, con-
structed our railroads, our canals and
it opened our mines, builded
our cities, drained our swamps, leveled
our forests, and made this beautiful
land bloom and blossom as the rose.
We owe it protection; we owe it res
pect and admiration.-TSmes, Sept. II,
1881.
TO BELIEVE IN THE DIGNITY
OF LABOR.
No one is more anxious to have these
labor troubles settled than we, deeply
interested as we are in the prosperity of
our city. All that We have is here. If|
we could utter one word that would
start every mill and factory in motion,
that word would be most cheerfully
spoken. We recognize the fact that
labor and capital are necessary to each
other. They must go hand in hand to
work out the destiny that awaits us.
We should say nought to estrange, but
everything to bring them harmonious
y together.
When a controversy does come-ifl
come it must-we will not, like the Tii-
5une, be found the swift traducer Of
hose who tOil-who bear the heat and
burden of the day. We were taught to
believe in the dignity of labor-to rec
ognize its hardships, to sympathize
with its weakness-with the poverty
md hunger that often overtake it. |
And may our right hand forget its cum
hing, if we pen one word to add to its
burden or bend the spirit of the hum
'lest man who toils.-1Ines, Sept. |
1881.
EVEN THOUGH ERRING WE CAN FOR
GIVE.
Learning, and science, and art may
we'll weave chaplet for the blackened |
,row of him who tolls by the flaming
orge, or delves in mines or fields. The |
'ar of civilization and progress isl pushed |
llong by the strong arm of the sturdy |
IONS of toll. Euen If they make mistakes
oe can forgive. At all times we can
peak in kindness for the American
who in weary round, are
out the destinies of our COM
non country.-Tinaes, Sept. II, 1881.

\ DESERVED TRIBUTE TO THE FAITH.
The Democratic party is the natural
riend of labor-yet it is not the foe of
'apital. 1t would crown the humblest
nan who tolls with the richest benefac-
ions-yet it would deal in fairness and
ustice with the man of wealth. 1t
would protect the weak against the
trong; yet it would do the strong no
wrong. 1t sympathizes with the op-
PRESSED of all nations, and it invites all |
Who love liberty to come to our shores
nd find home where freedom dwells.
The Democratic party believes in the
argest personal liberty consistent with
'ood government and social order. 1t
espects and yields obedience to Con-
titutions as well as to laws. 1t be-
ieves in Courts as well as in legisla-
ures-and it holds in governmental af-
airs, that there is no 'higher lawn than
he Constitution. Thus it stands
"Moored in the rifted rock,
