miniStrations Compared.

Furnaces are being blown out;
iron and cotton mills are running
upon half time; coke ovens and coal
mines are paying starvation wages;
the people are suffering and the abil-
ity to gain livelihood bears harder
and still harder upon those who toll;
values are shrinking and well.nigh
armed warfare proves that there is
difficulty between capital and labor.
The troubles in the Hooking Valley,
in Ohio; the arrest and Imprisonment
of hundreds of miners in the Mon
ongahela Valley, in Pennsylvania, for
breaches or supposed breaches of law
in the effort for work and bread, and
the distress and depression in min
ing and manufacturing industries
everywhere, are proofs of some great
evil in governmental policy. The
people feel the pitch Of hard times
and they naturally attribute it TO the
mismanagement, misgovernment and
extravaganza of the party in power.
We are glutted with more goods and
products of our own than we can dis
pose of. We have lost our foreign
trade for manufactured articles and
the sea is the limit to our market.
Large production, skill in craftsmanship
and plentiful food which ought to
bring happy homes and plenteous
wealth, now brings but depression
and distress. The laboring man is
the first to feel the pressure, for the
first thing done is to shorten the
hours of work or to reduce wages.
He is faced at once with want of
the bare necessaries of life. He has
nowhere to turn for q days work.

It's Tricks are known.

The Republican party are in the
position of conjurer whose tricks
have been found out. Its perform
ances no longer deceive, and there
fore fail even TO divert the specta.
tors.
For many years the political presti.
digitators of that party went an
nually through with the trick of "sav-
ing the results of the war" But the
people at last discovered that nobody
wished to disturb those results, and
that the tricksters paid no attention
to them after the elections were over.
1t was next announced that only the
skill of those same professions of
slight-of-hand could prevent the
dreadful Democrats from paying the
rebel debt" Provisioning the rebel
soldiers" denying the Union veter-
ans the just recompense for their
losses and from destroying the credit
of the nation. A brief period of
Democratic rule, although not free
from mistakes, has proved to the
dupes Of these men the utter absurd.

no outrageous measures been pro.
posed, but more money was disburs-
ed to Union soldiers in pensions last
year than in any year of Republican
administration, while the complaint
Of the critics has been, not that the
Treasury is too weak but that it is
too strong.
The standing trick of all the list -
a veritable Chestnut that no bell can
banish--is the Republican claim that
it is the party of economy. The Jug

pite the fact that Republican Senate
increased by more than $20,000,000
the appropriation bills passed by a
Democratic House, besides adopting
independent measures that would, if
passed, have rendered necessary q

The old tricks are discovered, and
the professors of the political black
art may as well prepare to go out of
the show business. 1t is as fatal to q

REPUBLICAN leaders who are strug-
ling to save the life of their party
tell the Prohibitlonists that the Re-

That is done to quiet the nerves of

bosh to call the Republican party a

hold the liquor men in line. 1t won't

The scientific explanations of
the causes and the consequences of
earthquakes are as confusing to the
ordinary understanding as is the
iargon in which medical writer's or
dinarily treat of the symptoms of dis.
ease and the remedies therefor.
This want of clearness grows out of
want of knowledge. The doctors
cannot look inside the living bodies
of men, and the scie ntists but rudely
guess at the interior commotion of the
earth. They veil their ignorance
