The fact especially noteworthy is
that the greatest reduction in rural
wages occurred in the manufacture
ing states, the eastern and middle
groups, from $32.08 to $2021, and
from S2S.02i to $3.50, respectively,
in ten years. This is precisely what
should be expected. The liberated
artisans and operatives returned to
the country, competing with farm
laborers: some of them went west,
reducing The rates of agricultural
labor there, though in a less degree,
as many became homesteaders rath-
er than labOrers.
The factory laborers and artisans
of Massachusetts and Rhode Island
came lagely from, Maine,s New

we find the depression in farm wa

With the return of industrial ac-
tivity comes general prosperity, and
with it, as shown in the figures of
1882, a sharp advance in wages paid
for arm labor. Assertions have
been plenty that labor on the farm
is not affected unfavorably by man
lufacturing depression, but. here are
facts, in perfect accord with all
similar records fresn~ time inlmemo-
rial, which disprove the fallacy and
show that the farm laborer is indis-
.oslubly bound up with the general
prosperity of all the industries, and
must share the good or ill fortune of
workers in every Legitimate line of
human effort.

Here are given the high wages OF
thea period before the redemp-
tion, the lowest rate attained after
the monetary revulsion, and the re-
cuperation and healthy status iof
business in 1882. In the period of
manufacturing depression Just prior
to 1879, agricultural wages were
greatly depressed, as is shown in
A large force of operatives thrown
out of employment, competed with
agricultural laborers, intensifying
the general decline towards a gold
basis of values, and aiding in bring
ing down the general average from
$32.1l to $20.22 in ten years. ~
The effect of a period of depres-
sion in. manufacture Is almost inn
mediately manifest in decline in
the rate of agricultural wages. If
long continued, it depresses wages
in every part OF the country. The
decline is greatest, however, in the
immediate vicinity of the silent
factories. The panic beginning in
the autumn Of 1873 soon caused
reduction in manufacturing activity,
and began to tell on prices in 1875.
The stagnation gradually deepened,
and the lowest rate of wages was
reached later. In 1879 an investi-
CATION disclosed the fact that all
sections were feeling the effects of
industrial inactivity. The follow
ing figures will show the course OF |
wages from 1860 to 1882, those of |
1869 representing the inflated values |
incident to deprecated currency.
1t should not be forgotten that two
causes cooperate to reduce values
during the ten years following-the
of currency value, and
the stagnatiOn of business after 1873.
The showing is as follows: /

The Providence Journal says the ''pur-
pose" of Mr.. Blaine's foreign policy, as
set forth was "a noble one." 1t did not
propose any entangling political alliances.
The first idea was Of friendly intercession

second the maintenance of peace by and
through arbitration; to be followed natur-
ally by a large increase In. the export
trade Of the United States by supplying

Republican Harmony.

The independents are likely to have q
lonesome time this year. Their number
is small and growing beautifully less as
the campaign goes on. They made con-
siderable noise and buster for few days,
but when they fonnd that they had no
following worth mentioning they began TO
subside and display more amiability. An
independent party without votes is as
harmless as a tiger without teeth or claws.
II may make show on paper. but amounts
to nothing when the votes are counted.
Sioce the republican party was formed
- nominations for President and Vice
President never commanded more univer-
sally and cordially sc support of the party
than the nominations of Blaine and Logan.
Mr.. Lncoln's first nomination was attend
ed by widespread feeling of dissatisfac-
ton within the party. 1t required great
effort to pacify the malcontents. His
second nomination was also strongly
opposed. though he had shown him.
self wise and capable officer.
General Grant. great rs was his name,
and as distinguished as were his mil
itary services. had his enemies and op-
posers within the lines Of the party which
nominated him. numbering at his second
nomination many republicans of renown
and influence. So Hayes and Garfield
encountered malign influences from with
in the republican organization when they
were nominated. All were not satisfied
with the nominations. many spurned them,
and some went over to the enemy in dis
gust and disappointment. 1t is impossible
n the nature of things that everv man
can have his favorite Tor the Presidency
nominated. disappointment is certain to
follow every national convention. in a
grester or less degree. yielding however
IN most cases to the idea that in govern
msnt by the people the majority must rule
10 conventions as we'll as in Legislative
assemblies. else anarchy follows.
II therefore there is speck Of opposi-
zion to the nomination of Blaine and Lo-
gan. it is not strange or phenomenal. I,
is rather wonderful that any nomination
could be made which would command the
wide. universal. enthusiastic support
which is bearing Blaine and Logan on to
victory. The testimony iron all parts ol
the country is the same. excepting from
two or three places in New York and New
England. where free-traders disguised a
republicans are rending the air with
cries ofopposition to the republican ticket
and offers to vote the democratic ticke,
