before that body, are sl that labor desires,
and even 1t but q few OF than succeed in
running the gauntlet If senatorial op-
position, the trader lnionisis ofthe country
vii be gratiied.
The purpose of these reviews, is not to

The boot and shoe manufacturers of the
New England States have been complain
lug, during the past week, Of the slow pro.
gresa o 'the Spring trade. Retailers are
doing well, hut are holding back, waiting
for a drop in prices. Leather ia weaken
ing; hides are lower; wages are steady,
orders are coming in slowly, and manufac-
turers are therefore, more anxious for bust
meas, and are beginning to shsder prices
for medium goods.
The marble cutters and stone masons IN
the New England States, and elsewhere,
are in receipt Of orders for immense guam
titles of stone Of all kinds, for building
purposes. The lumber men in the North
west, and in the yellow pine regions of the
South, are croWdiDg ahead With more vigor
than ever before, intending to throw the
heaviest possible supply of lumber into the
markets in the Spring. An advance OF 3
to 10 per cent was attempted in Atlantic
markets, but without success Builders are
making inquiries for supplies, in all the
larger lumber markets, and immense guam
titles will change hands within q few weeks.
Reports up to today, show that during
the six days Of last week, wages have been
advanced from 5 to 6 per cent in between
two and three hundred large and small
manufacturing establishments in the New
England Middle and Western States; that
between fifty and sixty establishments had
insugurated fortnightly payments, instead
Of monthly, as heretofore; that in not more
than q dozen cases had wages been re-
that in scores Of instances, al
vsnces in wages had been demanded; that
arbitration was resorted to in five or six
cases, with prospects Of bringing about
successful results before Ike close Of the
week.

VOTE FOR REPUBLICANS.

Next Thursday the Republicans of Lyon
county will nominate a county ticket 1t is
the intention of the Convention to put a
ticket in the field that will win. OF course
all cannot be pleased but trial will be
made 10 please the majority, and if this is
done there is not Republican who should
not vote the ticket straight. 1t is our be-
lief that Republicans have kept Democrats
in office long enough in this county. There
is not a Democrat holding office in this
county but will admit that Republican votes
elected him, and still there are some who
say they never voted for Republican and
never wall. Th:n Is il not time that we
should stop vo.lng for them. The Demo
crauc party takes all it can get but never
gives up anything. Think OF this, this
Fall when you cast your ballot and see il
YOU are not INCONSISTENT in helping men who
