The last census showed n total of H.
1872. 900 persons engaged in labor in
the whole country, and these figures
may be fairly accepted as representing
the aggregate strength of the workers
of America in 1880. Since hat time
the army OF toilers has greatly in
creased. At present there are, 1t is
estimated, 5000, 900 engaged in agri-
culture. 4.500,0 900 in professional and
personal services" 1000, coo in trade
and transportation, and 1850, 900 in
mechanics, manufactures and mining.
1t may be set down that, although the
hardest ply ical toll in the shop. fac
tory and mine falls to the lot of less
than 5000, 900 in all, the designation
OF workingmen properly applies to
fully II. 600, 900, as more than three
ffths of the whole are really dependent
for their daily bread on the exercise of
their muscles as we'll as their brains.
Mr.. Carroll ID. Wright, chief of the
bureau OF statistics, in his report lust
published, says that there are a million
OF men in this country out of employ
ment, and that the importation of
pauper labor has worked great harm
to the labor interests Of the country.
Yet the very employers who draw their
labor from the pauper element Of Eu-
rope. and pay them at the rate of 65 to
rs cents per day are constantly clam
oring for the protection of American
products in order that labor may be-
we'll paid. Is it not about time for the
workingmen to make a proper answer
to this gauzy pretext OF protection in
their interest solely.

In the German reichstag, the other
day, a resolution was adopted asking
Bismarck to frame and introduce a bill
to establish industrial courts. in which
the issues bctwcc: !:bo. and capita,
may be brought to trial and arbitrated.
1t can be readily seen that such a tri-
bunal would smooth and soften the dis
putes between employer and employee,
and If the court was guided by the
principles Of justice and equity, good
could result. but if. like too many other
tribunals, such courts were influenced
improperly, either by personal, politi-
cal or pecuniary considerations, they
would serve no good purpose. What
labor is most in need of is a combina-
ton OF all working people to secure
their rights through the ballot.

In the great struggle between capital
and labor, the public sympathy is with
the latter and rightfully so.

The Ohio Legislature has passed the
bill providing for tho appointment by
the governor of a non.partisan board
of police commissioners for Cincinnati.

OBITUARY..

CATHARINE ToRMAN BROUsE was born in
Rockingham County, Virginia, Oct. 9th, 1929,
and died of paralysis at her residence in Dix
on Township, Preble Co., o., Aug. I'd, 1886.
She was the daughter of the late Larkin
Torman of this county, and at an early age
she emigrated with her parents from Virginia
to this State, in which she has ever since re-
sided. She was united in marriage with Will
liam Brouse and was the mother of nine chill
dren, who, together with her husband, sur
vive to mourn her loss. Soon after her mar
rage she connected herself with the Brethren
Church, in which she has ever since been a
consistent and devoted member. She was a
kind and indulgeut mother and a devoted and
afectionate wife. No children ever had a
better mother, no husband a truer wife. In
all her life's work she was true, consistent and
faithful to her family and her friends to the
end. She was always upright, kind and gen.
erous, and her whole life was without a stain
or blemish. She always placed her faith in
her Savior, and to read Gods holy word was
always to her a source of great joy. She has
now gone to meet the one in whom she always
put her trust. She is not dead, but has only
gone to dwell in a better land. Her race on
earth is ended. The work of her life in this
world is well and faithfully done, and she new
rests peacefully with her Savior. i Il

PoisOs, Oak.

Last Sunday, while at Mr.. T. F. Hudson's,
the great hay and carp man, who is perhaps
better known than any farmer in the State,
we noticed that his son, Dewitt, seemed to
be skinning off at the hands. Mr.. H. called
the little fellow to him and showed us how the
skin, even on the palms of his hands, was
coming off in flakes and a new skin appearing
underneath. He explained that several years
ago the child was badly poisoned with poison
oak, and every spring he broke out and suf-
fered greatly. He had applied every known
remedy to relieve the sufferer, and employed
physicians to attend him, but with no avail
sin fact" Mr.. Hudson continued, "it seemed
like to go in sight of a poison oak vine would
cause the eruptions to break out afresh. At
ter trying everything else, l read in the Ban
ner-Watchman so much about the S. S. S,
blood medicine that determined to try that
also, but must confess that | had but little
hope in it. But, as you see, its success has
been wonderful. 1t has driven every particle
of the poison from my child's system, and is
now putting a new skin on him. He is thor
oughly cured, and the S. S. S. did the good

Manufacturing.

All Eaton now wants is the establish
cling factories of articles of general use
and necessity, among which are paper,
woolens, hardware, agricultural tools,
&C., any one of, which would furnish
steady employment to all our idle labor,
besides bringing into our city limits out
side capital and population. 1t is an old
saying that "where there is a will there
is a way" Inside of our corporate linn
it's we have 116 business firms; a sub
scription of $4,000 each would raise a
capital of nearly 100000. The tax
duplicate shows an assessed value in our
city of 81, zoe, 900; two per cent. on this
amount is $34,000.0 90. Such a tax can
not be levied because the law forbids it,
but our business men could subscribe or
donate whatever their public spirit and
liberality might dictate to further trade
and business. The time has TO- arriv-
ed when our citizens must act for the flu
ture of Eaton, if they desire to go for
ward in population and prosperity. Each
and all should be willing to do their
share in advancing its interests and de-
veloping its sourc By agitating our
ability, means can be secures to build up
producing town that will furnish en-
not only to our present popu-
but to hundreds Of others outside
our borders. A united effort is all that
is needed. Let each one put his shout
der to the wheel and assist in pushing
the interests and prosperity of
or town.
