WORKING PEOPLES WAGES.

1t must take good deal of gall for a
man to look workingman in the face and
tell him that if times can be made hard, if
work can he made scarce, if dollar is
made hard to get, it will be a good time for
HIM; that if everything else in the world
is made cheap and put dovm it will put
his wages up. And yet you can see that in
the gold standard papers, and hear it from
their orators every day. They produce a
network of figures and tabulated statistics
with which to bewilder workingman to
the extent that be shall understand them
as little as they do themselves, and at last,
in despair, give up trying to understand
them.
All the tabulated statistics in the world
will not alter this everyday fact that is
forever passing under our eyes-an abun-
dance of money in circulation starts up
every sort Of occupation and has work
looking for the workman instead of the
workman looking for work.
You could not want better illustration
Of it than the history of the late booms in
Virginia. Money was abundant in the
localities in which the booms were pro-
crossing. And the rery first thing the
prosperity helped was labor. And it
helped labor away down at the bottom, the
man that could use shovel and hoe.
Labor at once became scarce where it had
been plentiful. In Staunton where a load
of wood would hardly touch the pavement
before dozen men would besiege you for
the job of saving it, you had to 60 around
hunting man to saw it and only got him
then by offering him more. Instead of
having dozen men applying to you, you
had to apply to dozen men before you got
a man to do the job. You hear the gold
orators talk good deal about the Gresham
law and other things that you don't under
stand, but We'll tell you of law more GER
tain than the Gresham law; and that is that
where money is circulating abundantly
work is plentiful.
We often see some astute gold financiers
dwelling on uppositlon-suppose you did
get free coinage and made money abundant
you couldn't get any of it unless you had
something to sell. Well, every man in the
country has something to sell-he has his
labor to sell. 1t is not expected that
when free silver is coined the owners pro-
pose to eat it, or hoard 1t, or lock it up-in
that case they had just as well left it in the
ground. They will proceed to invest it by
starting new industries which will buy the
J,la 4.
The farmer has something to sell in hi
farm products. HeSdoes not raise then
With the assistance 9f the birds, but b.
employing labor. An abundance of none,
in circulation always gives him bette
prices and the first man that feels the goot
effects of the prosperity is the farm lahore
who finds himself in demand. There is NJ
occupation in this country in which, whel
prosperity touches it, the benefit does no
first strike the man at the bottom, who i
the laboring man.

JOHN sHERMAN'S LNsLNCERITY.


Senator Sherman, who has professed a
consuming desire for more revenue for the
national government, has again been put to
the test on this point, and again demon.
strated his insincerity. His first expression
was of willingness to tax tea and coffee,
To put a higher duty on sugar, to do any
thing rather than leave the government
without the needed funds on the adjourn
ment of Congress. Senator Gray, of Della
ware, took him promptly at his word, and
proposed to act with him in fixing tax on
tea and coffee, on which Mr.. Sherman at
once backed down and declined TO keep the
pledge he had made. Later he has been
put TO another trial. 1t was proposed TO
put an additional tax upon beer, with view
to raising revenue in this way nearly enough
to meet the deficiency. Mr. Sherman de
clned again to cooperate, remarking that
beer was "a useful and comfortable drink !"
Here was proposition in which all parties
might agree, If there was particle of con
ciiation on points of difference to be shown.
Nothing would content Mr.. Sherman but
higher protective duties. AS usual, his pa
trotism was subordinated to his partisan
ship. Under an impulse of candor he ad-
mits in his memoirs that this may have been
mistake of his public life. His present
mistake is that he should have claimed any
thing else, and thus exposed the hypocrisy
of his professions.

THE VETO OF THE RIVER AND
HdRBOR BILL.


President Cleveland has vetoed the river
and harbor bill, and the reasons which he
gives for his action fully justifies the refusal
of his signature. Congress has shown itself
guilty of indifference to the allimportant
consideration OF keeping the appropriations
within the limits of the estimated revenue,
) or, what comes to the same thing, of open.
ing fresh sources of revenue to meet the ex-
cess of expenditures. In view of its willful
blindness in regard to the existing deficit,
we cannot feel hopeful that it will follow
executive guidance on the path of prudence.
The President bases his veto upon two
grounds: First, that the bill provides for the
immediate expenditure $4,000 900 for river
and harbor work in addition to appropria.
tons of over $4,000. 900 for similar purposes
in another bill. Secondly, that it author
ICES contracts to the amount of more than
$62O00,000 for rivers and harbors which
will call for the payment of very large
amounts in the near future.
He asserts, and beyond question with
good reason, that many of the objects COW
cred by the bill are not related to the public
welfare, that others are either tor the benefit
OF small places or in aid of individual in
terests, and that not few OF the alleged
improvements shave been 80 imprudently
planned and presented that after an unwise
expenditure of millions of dollars new ex.
periments for their accomplishment have
been entered upon"
Congress has passed the river and harbor
bill over the Presidents veto, and that meas
ure is now law. This result has been an
tcipated, as river and harbor bills have al
ways appealed strongly to the log-rolling
instinct of Congressman.
