worth, OF Ohio. said that ii it was true
that the. work of the steam presses was
OF an inferior character, and could be
easily cOunterfeited, the presses should
be promptly got rid of. But the super
intendent OF the bureau denied this.
lie had been told, he did not know what
truth there was in it, that the men who
worked on the steam presses were
from work by the hand printers. If
this were true the secretary of the treas
ury and the superintendent of the
bureau ought to be impeached for not
vindicating the right of man in this
country from earning his bread. APP
plause.] Mr.. Butterworth wanted to
put himself in this pOSitiOn-that not
by his vote should there be a
change in the presses at the be-
hest of dictation of any combi-
nation, society," or collection of individu-
ais. He believed in standing by the
blacksmith, not because he was black
smith, but because he was man. We
nave pretty nearly reached condition
OF things in this country when nobody
has the right even to discharge.

that there was an emplOye in the bu-
reau who had improved the steam
presses and had never received cent
for his improvements. He (Farquhar)
declared that the man dare not go into

tyranny that was used by the heads of
departments here. He defed any man
in this house to say otherwise than that
the organized mechanics of the land
had been the men who had built up and
kept up the industries of the country.
Mr.. Butterworth approved of the COM
binatiOn of labor, but he did
not approve of forces being used
to exclude any American from

Our system of immigration tended to

we are the mere bidders for the vicious

bring general prosperity, that was the

tenn which prevented him from enjoying
that right. [Applause.l Mr.. Grain, of
Texas, said that the Republican party
had posed as the advocate and the
champion of the rights of the laboring
men of the country. To-day, after the
election in which the laborng men, by
casting their ballots for the Repub-
lican candidates, had elected them,
one of the most distinguished
representatives of that party on
the floor of the house was found attack
ing the laboring men because, fOrsoOth,
organized themselves for their own pro-
lection. Mr.. Blount, of Georgia, said
that he was unwilling that the use of

Knights of Labor. but because he be-
lieved that the interests of the people
were involved in the SOundnesS of the
currency that was to circulate among
them. Mr.. Farquhar offered an amend
ment that none of the money appropi-
ated shall be used in the repair of the
steam presses, and Mr.. White, of New
York, an amendment fixing the royalty
at 81 per 1000 impressions. Pending a
vote on any amendment, the committee
rose, and the house at 4:45 adjourned.
