If the Democratic machine knew
Cleveland was a gold bug when it
begged the people to vote for him,
with the assurance that he was a
friend of the people, then they are
guilty OF base and criminal misrep-
resentation and fraud upon the peo-

by Jefferson and winds up by saying
that the people ought to vote for

not to leave the party. We woull

\ GREAT TRUTH.
The position that | would
take just here is this, that both the
Republican and Democratic parties
while containing good many very
wise and patriotic men admittedly
with pure motives and good inten-
lions are nevertheless powerless to
accomplish any relief for the peop e
through either of the dominant par
ties. Both having deserted their
primary principles are now dUnIi-
mated by the same influences, and
these influences are SO strong and
powerful that resistance within can
avail and accomplish no good, and
my prediction for it if these states
men and their followers remain with
in old party lines they will be finally
coerced to the support and domi-
mated by the same influences.
1t is needless for me to declare
that these influences stand against
the best interests of the masses, 70:
the worst forms of protection, for
the single gold standard, for the
perpetuation of the national bank
ing system; these influences are the
enemies to free silver, a revenue
tariff, to that equity of taxation the
income tax and state banks of issue
or any other system Of financial re-
form, III word against the produc-
ing sections and the best interests of
the people. The Republican party
is admittedly the author and creator
OF this lnttuence, it is foreign arti-
Gle which was imported in an unex-
pected hour aud which stealthilv
under foreign direction crept into
legislation while the great American
heart was throbbing in twain and
the patriotic and brave of all sec
lions were to the front offering the
rich llbations of blood upon the al
tar of what they respectively be-
lieved was right and constitutional. |

Commenting editorially upon the salts.
factory result Of last years practical
trial OF the eight-hour system, at tho
Stafford iron works, England, reported
by EVERY EVENING last week, the
Philadelphia Ledger says:
One Of the arguments for an eight-bour
day has been that il would increase the de-.
mand for labor and thus afford employ
ment Tor men now idle. But IL. as M.
Mather's experiment tends to prove a
given number of men can produce as
much in eight hours as in nine, then the
reduced hours Of labor will not increase
the demand for labor. We cannot. al the
same time, get the same product out Of
eight hours us out of nine, and reduce the
product so as to require the employment
OF more men. One or the other benefit
must fail TO materialiZe. But that IL M
reason why no attempt should be made 10
shorten the hours of labor. II is desirable
that the hours should be shortened SO as 10
blow the workmen time for recreation,
btudy or amusement; il is desirable that
they should be well paid that they may be
40, able to live well and work cheerfully. Sir
Ihomas Brassey proved some years ago
that high-priced laborers were cheaper
than low-priced, ill-fed laborers. Regarded
as mere machines, the poorly-fed laborers
could not exert as much power in given
number Of hours as those whose wages EN-
h6led them TO repair the waste of tissue
with strengthening food.
The Lcdger has gotten hold of great
industrial truth here which we hope to
see 1t pursue until it discovers that the
true gauge of labor cost is not the wages
paid per day, but the amount Of labor
product measured in units of value, and
that it is the greater efficiency OF the
comparatively well-paid labor of free
trade England as contrasted with the
lower efficiency Of the cheaper labor of
her high tariff neighbors that enables
her to maintain her industrial suprem.

ties OF this place and the Brazilian

The rebel ships are the Republica,

They are in a very dilapidatea coudi-
ton and the rebels on board of them
are suffering from sickness. wounds and

The crews of the rebel ships arc being
disembarked at the Lazaretta here aud
will be cared for until further orders are
received from Rio De Janeiro. 1t is
believed that when the men and ships
are in proper condition they will rcjoin
the Brazilian vessels under government
officers and sail into Rio De Janeiro.
President Peixoto's government has
notified the government of Uruguay
that the expenses and passage money
home OF the insurgents who landed in
the department Of Rooha, Uruguay,
will be paid by the Brazilian govern
ment and that they may all with the
exception of the leaders, return to
Brazil, with no fear OF being severely
punished for the part which they have
taken in the rebellion.
1t is understood that President
Peixoto, in adopting this wise and
lenient policy, has acted under the ad.
vice of a foreign power which has the
Interests of the republic of Brazil at
heart.
