Work Of the Devilish Labor Agent"

Work Of the Devilish Labor AGENT"
A dispatch from the island of Jamaica,
dated Kingston, says that the authori-
ties are in trouble over gang of labor
ers brought from New York about a
ca Railway company. Soon after arriv-
ing in Jamaica the men complained that
they were being ill treated. Some Of
them struck work. Others we're dis
charged, and the whole gang of 30 are
now wandering about the island in des-
titute circumstances. Some of the men
have gone into the almshouses, some have
got arrested as Migrants, and the rest are
begging or stealing.
The authorities are puzzled what to
do. The men cannot be sent back to
America because there is only one
American in the gang. Those in the
almshouse and prisons are making fuss
about the food served them. This week
four Of the men were brought before the
magistrate in Kingston charged by the
railway company with breach of con-
tract. From facts elected during the
investigation, it would appear that botL
the men and the railway company have
been victimized by a New York labor
agent. The agent got So head for
laborers. Many Of the men he sent down
are physically incapable of doing heavy
work, and many are mere youths. The
men say they were simply asked if they
wanted work in Jamaica, and on blank
sheets of paper they signed their names,
the terms of contract to be filed in
afterWard.

1t is part of the purpose of estab-
fishing the REPRESENTATIVE to af-
ford forum, in which the brightest
minds in the populist party and in
the farmers alliance can express and
compare their views. The paper will
not be responsible for the opinions
set forth, but will try to give all
sides Of the questions at issue fair
hearing We would suggest to our
correspondents to make their letters
brief and to the point; not to ex-
coed one-quarter of column, if pos
sible. If you have lengthy commun-
ication cut it in half and make two
letters of it. Avoid personalities.
Don't write unless you have some
thing to say; and let each letter
have motive and teach something
to the reader. Try to make your
readers better and wiser by what
you write. Never mind about the
grammar or the spelling. The prin.
ter will fix all that. Good sense and
an honest purpose are rarer things
than book learning.-THE EDITOR.

A Lesson from China.

We might learn some things of Chi
ma. There is not such another uni
versally trading people as the $40 mil
lion souls of China proper. They are
the greatest retailers on earth, and
reside mostly in great towns. They
have tried all theories of govern
ment, finance, trade. In Polo's time
they used the greenback as irredeem-
able paper very generally. Some few
provinces refused the Emperor's pa
per bills, and Polo's account shows
that they were not so prosperous as
those that used the paper. The pa
per was a legal tender for all things,
but lest jewels. gold, silver, or dia-
monds should be called for largely,
the emperor kept on hand a large
amount of such articles and other non
perishable commodities. Caravans
from all parts came and took this
money in preference to gold. AS time
passed the emperor found so much OF
his paper was carried off and kept
that he ceased to issue, not knowing
how soon the distant paper might re-
turn. Other dynasties adopted 9th
er plans. Finally for very long
time the copec has been the sole le'
gal tender in China This is SO small
and worthless that no one will carry
it away or counterfeit it. Other
things are used by custom, but this
little tenth-of-a-cent piece is the only
legal tender, and it is always supplied
in enormous quantities. 1t would
never do to have the least stringency
or doubt as to the home currency, as
tremendous consequences would en-.
sue. Gold etc. are weighed. Gold
once fell 40 per cent suddenly, thro
the finding of great mine.
For all these facts [ refer the read
er to Marco Polo and Hue. There is
so much ignorance about money it is
we'll to ask ourselves if history does
not teach us something. Meh in
high place utter much nonsense
which little reading will expose.

happening, To prove it we have only
to refer to BuePs circular addressed
to the bankers, and Hazards circu-
lar to the same, in which in part is
the following:
"While the European plan, led by
England, is capital control of labor
by controlling wages. This can be
done by controlling the money. We
are noaU acaiting to get the Secretary of the
Treasury to make the recommendation to
congress-"
Even the bankers could not control
the volume of money without an act
of congress; but between the two, as
between the upper and neither mill
stones, the people have been ground
into three distinct products, viz:
1.-Millionaires.
2.-Tramps.
3.-ShOrtS, or middlingS
In July. 1861, and Feb. Il, 1862, the
government issued 100000 treasu-
ry notes, not bearing interest, and le-
gal tender for all debts, public and
private. These first issues of green
backs did not contain the exception
clause, consequently their value was
regulated by congress at par with
gold; and this proves the fact that
had it not been for the exception
clause on the later issues of green
backs, all would have had their value
regulated on par with gold or sill
yer. But John Sherman admitted
that we [congress] purposely depre-
ciated them so that capitalists would
invest in them and buy bonds.
Another instance of congress regu-
lating the value of money by refus-
ing to take it's own money for duties
on imports, or pay it out for interest
on the bonds. 1t was no doubt the
intention of the trainers of the con-
stitution that congress should issue
enough money to provide for the gen.
eral welfare of the people; the in
dustrious should prosper-for those
who create the wealth should have
the benefit of the wealth they pro-
duce. If congress had done their
whole duty they would have so regu-
lated the value of money by it's plen-
tifulness that Shylock should never
have pound of flesh nearest the
heart, whether in cutting it took out
with it the hearts blood or not.

MAY Coz Pity the Poor.

One month ago yesterday morning
Mathew Manski left his home at a291
Lock street to go to his daily work at
the Nelson Morris Packing company's
packing house at the stockyards. He
larked moment with his two little
children and kissed his wife goodby, for
the cradle was soon to be filled again. and
she was not all well.
At the packing house Mansh was or
dered to the picking room and set to
work rolling out barrels that were ready
for shipment. On the floor lay a small
piece of picked pigs foot Manski
picked it up and ate it. This was against
the rules. He was arrested. The next
morning he was taken before Justice
Hennessy. An attorney appeared to
prosecute for the packing company.
Mansh was held to the grand jury.
Naturally he was not able to give bail,
and of course he was taken to the coun-
ty Jail.
For one month he lay in the county
Jail. Yesterday he appeared before the
grand jury.
81 was hungry" said Manski, land
almost unconsciously picked up the
piece of meat and ate it,"
The grand jury finally ascertained that
the value of the stolen property was
trife less than II cents. When this was
brought out, the grand jury refused to
take further official cognizance of the
charge Of larceny preferred by the pack
ing company.
Mathew Manski was thereupon told
that he was a free man. Of course he
FASTENED home to wife and children, but
he had been in the county Jail month,
and month is a long time to sick wife
and two small children. At any rate
when Mathew Manski was discharged
yesterday his wife was in the Jefferson
insane asylum, and he hasn't found his
two children yet.-Chicago Tribune.

$50 preach" "Take no purse, no scrip,
no money. But be shod in sandals and
put not on two cOats.'-Mark 6, SO,
MR.. EDITOR:
Times have changed since the COM
mand was given which heads this
letter. A few years ago DR.. Talmage
announced to the world in general
and to the people of New York in
particular, that the Lord wanted his
people to build a $25O,OOO tabernacle.
That, too, within the tinkling of a
bell of more human misery, poverty,
and crime than there is on the same
area of ground anywhere on the face
of the earth. So eager was the Lord
maybe he means the lord Talmage-
to have this tabernacle built that
they built N faith, that is, their
faith in promises to pay" Hun
dreds of his rich congregation, COM
mission men, lawyers, bankers, etc.,
who live on the earnings of "the poor
of my people," blew in their cash and
their promises. The church, or rath-
er the "cant and chant" modern Sun
day theatre, was built. It was big
one-had to be to contain the greatest
pulpit harlequin of the age. But
$250,0O0 is large sum of money. Rich
rogues do not care to pay too high
even for salvation-just enough to
carry them through the "pearly
gates, $50 there was heavy debt
hanging over the big tabernacle.
But this peddler of compound of
natural history, geography and bogus
christianity was equal to the emer-
gency.
Whether Talmadge learned from
Phil Armour and old Partridge or
they learned from his fair talk and
doubtful practices, we do not know;
one thing is sure-he has beaten them
out of sight in his late corner on
"gab."
Here is the situation: The truS-
tees and stockholders of the church
had the biggest temple of pride :"
on earth. Talmage had the incest
Norman front name, the incest side
whiskers, the most rant, the greatest
choir, and the loudest brass band in
America. DR.. Talmage could go on
the road as an itinerant, but the big
show house was a fixture. No one
but great ranter could fill it. He
knew that; the directors knew it.
He threatened to 60 out on g STRIKE"
Think of it; the wickedness of it |! |!
The shareholders big temple of mon
ey changers was in danger of being
turned into an elephant" on their
hands. They begged of him not to
leave them in the lurch; but this
Rev. Partridge" of the pulpit
knew he had "got 'em." This was
business. Nothing about celestial
shores, seraphs, and salvation. He
would not even condescend to treat
with them, but sent his ultimatum
of 23c. on the dollar or nothing.
Did the shareholders call out the
militia, hire Pinkertons to guard the
church, or hire new "spouter"
armed with a Winchester? Not to
any great extent That means of
putting down strikes is reserved for
the "canaille." Now, a great shout
OF JOY went up from his dupes, be-
cause he had cornered his creditors.
Great is Talmage !; greater than Van
