HARRISON 1TATED STRIKERS

HIS RECORD IN A TROUBLOUS YEAR. Calllna tha Strlkera Law.Rreakari and D. mandlnThelr Sappreaaica at the Point of the Bayonet Arbitrator, Railroad Attorney and 3IUltla Commander. Senator Leon Bailey has much reason to feel proud of the attendance at Mozart hall last Wednesday. It was large, intelligent, appreciative and enthusiastic. To the six or eight hundred railroad men present were added a lare number of others, representing nearly every class of workinscmen in the city. Mr. Bailey .was boisterously received on his introduction to the audience, and his remarks were given with that peculiar emphasis which carried with it the logic of its convictions. The applause was generous and continuous throushout, and most marked at the mention of the names of the men whose testimony was cited in corroboration of the charges as to the actions and utterances of Mr. IIarri?on at the time of and during the railroad troubles of 1S77. Mr. Bailey's address was of about two and a half hours' continuance, and the vat audience remained in their peats during the entire delivery. SENATOR BAILEY'S SPEECH. . Oprni by Telling- How and Why Gen. Harrison W Nominated. After briefly referring to the tariff and other questions of the campaign, Senator Bailey said : AVhat I will Lave to say to-night xvill be with reference to the republican nominee for the presidency, the Hon. Benjamin Harrison; the influences which broucht about his nomination; hit attitude toward laboring men; embracing in some detail his record in the rreat railroad strike of 1S77, as it has been gathered from the most authentic sources, such as court file; accounts published at th time, and interviews with men who participated in the trouble of that period, and have a personal knowledge of what Mr. Harrison said and did. I shall avoid all embellishments, or exaggeration, laying before you the simple evidence aa lie has tnade it, and upon which he rout Ftand before the people in thia canip:ii?n. And in my investigation of the subject in hand, I wish to acknowledge the very material cid of one whose great heart and intellect were with the boys in these dark days, wholly and valiantly. At the head of a preat daily newspaper, Col. J. D.'Maynard stood fearlessly in behalf of those ftruucrliug employes. He was a tiaker of records iüen. He opens them now. In the early days of our republic at the tery fitrt formation of our constitution a prcat battle was wa?ed by the two renresenatative men of that period. Alexander Hamilton, the Knglish autocrat, contended for a strong central government. He would have clothed the president of our republic with the mantle of a king:, empowering him with authority to appoint governors and members of congress for life. His doctrines have Mnce been frequently approved, in public speech, by republican leaders. Thomas Jtirerson. one of the founders of the democratic party, sought to establish a government of the people, for the people, an 1 by the people. And so it is to-day these extremes are represented by the two chief party organizations, which might be more fitly denominated the aristocratic party and the democratic party. It is power, wealth, class interest, acainst the plain common masses; a fight of the people lor their constitutional rielits nsrainst that corporate power whii-h would enclave and destroy them; burdens far loss oppressive and not more arrogant than thea of the present day brought on the war of the revolution, resulting in the independence of the original colonies. As a uation we started out on correct principles. We laid the foundation deep and solid. lur trovt-rnment has no parallel. Ancient republics were, aud modern monarchies are, but the mockeries of human rights. V'c stnd alone. No nation can be called upon to tri ve lis liht. And yet we are confronted with facts which demonstrate beyond cavil that a government designed to be of, for and by the people Las been deflected from its original purpose and has become, to an alarming extent, and in defiance of the constitution, a government of the few in flagrant disregard ot the rights of the many. And there can bo no more vital question for consideration than the cause of t Iiis deflection and the prompt restoration of our republic to the moorings established by its patriotic founders. Absolute sovereignty, abfohlte equality, are guaranteed to the people, yet in the lat quarter of a century there has grown up a dangerous tendency toward clans and caste. There are those, endowed by wealth and su perior education, who would assume a sort of dictatorship over the aflairs and destinies of those in the humbler walks of life. A GROWING DANGER. The Attempt of the Wealthy and Educated to Control the Affairs of the Country. It is an unconstitutional advantage and an impending danger which the American laborer should watch with jealous care. These encroachiuenti are but monuments to his own neglect. Each political contest forms the adjudication aud settlement of popular rights, and if determined in the light and spirit of the constitution each will fonn a mile-stone along the highway of our republic's progress which will insure to the lowliest of American citizens a realisation of all the blessings contemplated by that bulwark of our personal liberties. We are constantly reminded that ours is the land of the free that here independence has its home. I would rather magnify than dwarf such proposition. The courage for convictions must forever tower above what is known s physical courage, as hrh as (Jhiinberaze Hits its sun-burnished summit above the foot-hills of the Andes. It is that courage which prompts men when they speak to speak their sentiments. And when they vote to vote their sentiments. Such men are insensible of fear. They laugh at intimidation, and woe betide the man or set of men who, by any improper mean., would seek to turn them from the straight line of duty. To them the ballot is an imperial scepter, makinar the humblest home a castle and the badge of citizenship of greater value than the jeweled crown of kings. INFLUENCES AT CHICAGO. Why and How Gen. Harrison Was Made tlie Nominee of the Itepublicana. In line with the foregoing thoughts, let us view the influence at Chicago which secured Gen. Harrison's nomination. It was a body representing a vast aggregation of capital it is said something over $1,000,000,000. It would be interesting to know the amount with certainty, but surely the hanks, railroads, trusts, land-grabbers and bondholders were in. the ascendency. Nominally they spoke for a party of several millions, but in fact only one element was considered. One railroad, alone owing a debt of over $2.000,000 to the United States, was numerously represented by its agents and solicitors. Chaunccy M. Depew, president of the Vanderbilt property, of near S.T0t,0U0.(i0O, aspired for leadership. He held the Empire state delegation under perfect control; fear of revolt in the agricultural West alone cheeked bis personal ambition, but he could dictate the candidate, and did. He sought a leader as far from the people and as clone to the corporations as possible oue whose life, record and sympathies were in close accord with his own. A conference of money magnates at the Jrand Pacific hotel in Chicago canvassed the field and agreed upon their man. His name was Benjamin Harrison. In the work of choosing this distinguished railroad lawyer of Indiana, which was soon after confirmed pro forma by tbe convention, he called to his aid such men as Dodd, of Council UlutTs, who was Mr. Gould's Wabash receiver until decapitated by Judge Walter Q. Gresham; Creed Ilaymond, of California, solicitor of the Southern Pacific, and Fred Crocker, vicepresident of the same road; II. K. Walcott, of Colorado, solicitor for the Denver fc Kio Grande J. N. Thurston, a Washington lobbyist and solicitor of the Union Pacific; Senator fpooner of Wssconsin, solicitor of the Chicago Sc Northwestern; Steve Elkins, of ".Maverick" fame, and cattle partner of Mr. Harrison, the general manager of the 3Iisouri Pacific; Clarkson, a vice-president of Gould's lines in Iowa; & 13. Landon of Wyoming, a brother-in

?WHAT THE FARMER NEEES KOST IS A HOME MARKET Iff WHICH HE CAN PURCHASE HIS SUPPLIES AS CHEAPLY AS HIS COHPETITOHS'-Speaker Carlisle. Enraged Farmer to a Pig-Iron Congressman: " Yon have been making laws against no for twenty years. TM3 fall I'm going to see about law-making myself. You Lave taxed mo poor and tho trasta and tha monopolists rich. Now take the war-tax off of mo or take the conscience. Give ns the Mills Bill, which protects honest labor end admits raw materials freel'

law of pepew; Senator Stewart of Nevada. solicitor of the Central Tacific; W. J. Sewall and John I. lllair, the railroad millionaire of New Jersey; Janus F. Wilson, solicicoS of the latter's western railroad property, and T. T. Miner, a railroad lawyer of Washington Territory, who pained much notoriety on the 1'acitic slope by defending the Chinese in their recent riot at Seattle. These are aiiion the few who directed the choice of the Chicago convention. Mr. Harrison is the man thus named, standing upon a platform of high taxes oad free whisky, to which the American laborer is asked to look for his personal protection and prosperity. Is this picture inviting? Does it have the clear, honest ring of fair dealing and an unbiased treatment of popular rights? Will the laboring men ot this country place their hopes in the control of these Chicago jugglers? Or can they have a less distrust in a product of their creation? THE DANGER POINT. Can tho Workingnien Afford to Place Their . flairs in Such Hands? Is this not a danger point? Is not a vote for the creature of such influences opening wider the gates for class legislation and breaking down the barriers which surround our American sovereignty? You who would be stampeded by the false and malicious cry of "free trade" should pauße long enough to learn whether or not this alarm is sounded by your enemy or your friend. Whether it be a snare to further entrap you into the entangling clutches of capital, or the unselfish admonition of those who would preserve your dearest interests. When you shall have done this, my word for it, you will find the signal to have been sounded by a class of cormorants who would utilize you only for sordid and aeliish purposes and the supposed danger without reali'y of substance at all a mere apparition improvised with a blood-stained shirt, suspended and held in form by the joss-Ktick of the oriental heathen. The question of labor and of laboring men is in this campaign. President Cleveland in his message says: "All will acknowledge the force of an argument which involves the welfare and liberal compensation of our laboring people." Mr. Cleveland states a fundamental fact in political economy. There is no development, there is no progress without labor, öuike down labor, anf, as if by a decree of Jehovah, f'ou stop the wheels of progress, btrike down ahor, and you remand the world to a wilderness and to slavery. Strike down labor, and another keel would never cleave the waves another railroad train would never thunder across the continent and the man who would cripide labor, who would impoverish it, who would degrade it, who would place obstacles in its pathway, who would reduce its compensation ami embitter its life, like viceIs a monster of so hideous inien. That to be hated, needs but to be seen. Labor is now coming to the front. It is demanding audience and recognition. It proposes to challenge candidates, to propound to them certain questions and have answers without prevarication. IWnjatnin Harrison entertains the same opinions of workinirmen in 18SS that he did in 1S77. He has not changed. There is no record of a change. It is .nowhere reported that Gen. Harrison was ever the friend of the workingman; that he ever cusraged himself in bettering their wages or condition; that in the senate of the United States he ever ca-st a vote, introduced a measure or advocated one that was intended in any degree to ameliorate the burdens or embarrassments of anything or anybody which did not attach to its signature the imprint of a corporate seal. A DOLLAR A DAY ENOUGH. What Gen. Harrison Really Thought Should lie tbe Compensation of Laborers. I shall draw my conclusion from the influences surrounding hira; from the nature of the subject under consideration; from the events of the preceding days and his relations to them; from ample and indubitable court and newspaper evidence as to his attitude toward the strikers, and last, from the overwhelming testimony of brave and true men who were present and felt the rebuke of his unjust aspersions. He was there, then, ns the richly paid attorney of the Ohio & Mississippi railroad, though by a bold disregard of common decencies, he had slipped on the jury of arbitrators. He was there aa the paid soldier of the state. His heart was in his employment. The muse of the strike was low wages. This was the subject under discussion. This was the topic under debate. None other was before the meeting. Three grades of men, as 1 have shown, were getting one dollar per day and the roads were refusing to concede more. Mr. Harrison was their paid attorney. He was there to represeut and defend their position, notwithstanding he had slipped on the jury- Could he have done this without taking the position, tacitly if not in words, "that one dollar a day was enough for a laboring man?" Was not his conduct stronger even than any language he could have employed? lie offered no relief, sugggsted no compromise; would accept nothing but absolute surrender. Do not the circumstances make it probable that he should have discussed wages, and in a manner agreeable to his clients? Could he have said anything on such an occasion and have been silent on the matter of wages? It was not a picnic nor a prayer meeting. It was a wage meeting. It was a wage meeting at which his client were contending that "a dollar a day vaj enough." lie was tor

Mr. C; h.

his clients although he had slipped on the jurv. His clients acted a dollar a day. Headed a dollar a day. It is improbable that he used language expressive ot his feelings and employments? Indeed is it not absurd to contend that he did not use such language? He wasoutof politics an 1 in the law business "exclusively." . Now aain did he use expressions to the eficct that he would "shoot, "resort to the militia," "use the bayonet," or words of like import? He h:d already, n we have seen, put himself on the side of the 'Tinfccrton policy." He was cr.).'t;iin of a company of men whom hc had organized. He armed them with "now breech-loailinsjSprinirtieM rifles a most formidable and efficient weapon." liy his course what did he sav? Whut are "new breei-lidoading .Springfield rifles most formidable and efficient weapons" for? Did Capt. llarr'son intend feeding the strikers biscuit out of the muzzle of a musket? He is cnlled "cold" and "distant" but he would hardly undertake un act of charity at so long a range as that? Was he intending to "siorm" the men with golden coins? No such ammunition wns seen at tho arsenal. It was not furnished by the stato. The cartridge boxes contained bullets. In drilling his company he taught bis men to fire at the word of command. Did ho prepare to "shoot?" Did he think "shoot?" Did be act "j-hoot?" Did he üdk "shoot?" And even if he said nothing upon that subject, d-vs it weaken the case against him? It is xiid the "barking dog never bites." 15ut wlu n the m:istill of the houschould sneaks stealthily around, it is time to get over the fence. His men carried the bayonets. Were they to cut bread with? Are they implempcnts of the bake-shop or the bakery? Were they carried by Mr. Harrison as a sort of solace, or as a threat to the strikers? Do those facts conceded, uncontradicted, prove anything? Is not further evidence accumulative and unnecessay ? Many a burglar has become convicted npon mere proof of his posseting his unlawful implements. It would not be necessary or even expected to prove he said he was going to commit burglary, but in support of the claim that Mr. Harruon delivered himself of cruel and inhuman utterances on that occasion, that his speech was that of a hired, heartless attorney, that he disregarded the crying appeals of labo'r, crushed and scourged by the lashes of corporate power, I will submit next the evidence of a few of the participants in that strike. These witnesses fpeak from personal contact. Their statements have been furnished from reliable sources. All were members of committees or in some way connected with the strike. They are the words of honest men; all, I belieVe, members of organized labor. They possess the confidence of their comrades and are entitled to the credit of truthful citizens. While w illing in the broadest sense, to assist in making Mr. Harrison stand squarely on Lis record, they have not desired to "rush into print," and have only permitted the use of their knowledge through a fr-t ling of duty in making a truthful history, and that the groundless rehearsals of thoso governed by srlti.th political interest fball not be permitted to falsity and distort the facts. If occasion demanded, the testimouv here submitted could be multiplied almost without end. Many of the men arc scattered; some are dead, but a large cumber jet remain, who upon call, will add their versions to corroborate those already secured. In submitting thor-e statements we get the opinions of the railroad men themselves and what they thought of Harrison's speech. Of course the Jovrnat, always Mr. Harrison's organ, approved it. They believed in its sentiments. Workingmen do not. That paper on July 20 contained this opinion of Mr. Harrison's speech: fien. Harrison tuado an eloquent aud lacteal speech replrte with logical lore and sound, pood sen). But the Journal's estimate of what a good speech is when it comes to the interests of laboringmen is best shown bv an editorial appearing in its columns on July SO, 1877. It said: That was s good speech made by the colonel of a volunteer company In Chicago just before tuey moved oo the mob. Tho men having loadivl, be said: "Now, boys, keep cowl, and dou't tire until you get the word fruiu your company commander. No matter how m:ny stou or brirki or even shot you may get, don't tin- uutil von are told: then (ire low; aim at the belt. Forward, by fours, march:" With this light upon the views of the Journal as to what a good sech is, we can readily see how they Mould consider Gen. Harrison's speech to the railroad strikers in this city as "eloquent and logical." Again Martin J. Murphy was talked with. Martin J. Murphy, residing at lö(J Duchananst., Indianapolis, Ind., when asked for a review of the strike period of 1877, said: 1 was a fireman in t he I., B. iW. yards at the time the ttrlke began. The first start of the trouble was the discharge of certain men on the Pennsylvania ijr-lom, but the "neral cause was on account of the repeated reduction of wages. There wer two or three Krades of men at the time gettlog fl idirr, and I think on oua road the sectiou men were only getting 9V cents a day. Tho flfjlit was to restore wapes and stop further reductions. About the conference meeting iu the old council chaiubcr, we were invited to be present we didn't request it ours -Ives. As I now reeall it. iov. Porter addressed the entire m?etins- He was followed by llarrisou. I'or some days before this Harrison had been getting up nuiitia companies, and then hid a lot of men quartered at the arsenal. Iu bis speech ha spoke about this, and uod vcrr plain language about what they would do with us if we didn't ro;ue to time, yet I can't jnst recall the words. I know be oil en tied tbe men bv them. He said by striking we bad forfeited all claims to tbe roads, and didn't have any right to ask for any redress. Ho used the term of "law-breakers," and "violators of the law," siveral times. lie was all ooe-M'led, so much so tbat everyone saw he dida t intend to give the boys any show, lie said tbe road couldu't pay aoy'hiihcr wages, as tho books of ths company would shov, and askel our coruluitttc to go dou and insert them. tv Ion as we wer law-bxcaicri ' nothing ceald be ioaa. la

We want to scad our agricultural products, our cotton, ai.J our breadstuff, and our provisions to the naked and fcungry manufacturing peoples of Europe, and our mauulacturcd products to the agricultural people cf South America, llsxico and Asia. We can do thia when we determine to trade with other people upon lair terms, but we cannot do it so long as we protect England and oifier manufacturing" countries in the great market of the world upon the pretense of protecting onrsrlves in our own. T,et as diminish the cost of production in our agricultural and manufacturing iädustiies, not by dirainishing the wages cf labor, but b reducing' taxation upon the necessaries of life and upon the materials which constitute the basis of cur finished products, aedby removiEg, as far as we cn, the restrictions which embarrass our people in their efforts to exchange the fruits of their own toil which they do cot need for the commodities of other countries which they do need. (Great applause, loud and prolonged)

this connection he used the assertion "tbt a dollar a day was better than doing nothing at all, and that a workingman ought to get along od i hat much." Although I may not use bis exact word, that is the iiupresion that he Rave. Ue also iid that "if th is lawlessness did not cease they would invoke tho powers of the state and federal government in order to move the trains and carry on the commerce of the country. That the trains must move at all hazards," and at thia point he became much excited. He offered no arbitration; would Hmcu to none. Nothing would hi accetited but absolute surrender on our iart. Refore he had finished he liecame sa o:tens!ve that the committee arose aud left the hall, t Ijjtirruau rSaver tried to pi t us bark, aud alter Harrison got through some of us did return. M,J. MrRPHV. Patrick II. Kingwas another of the striker. Patrick. II. King, who lives at 131 Meek-st Indianapolis, Ind., in conversation relative to the great railroad strike of 1877, and Benjamin Harrison's connection therewith, made the following statement: In July, 1S77. 1 was a conductor on the Bee Lino road anil" bad a very lively interest in th) things that took place Uurin? the strike, being oue of the road committee representing the men. On the inorn?u$of July i, or -J6, as I remember the date, an engine on the J., M. & I. with two coachea filled with soldiers, well armed and equipped, landed at Miehi-gan-st. crosin; threw out picket lines; unloaded gnns, bagn(t", and marched to the arsenal. They were tinder the direction of Gen. Uarriron, who took them to the arsenal. At this or no other time was there tbe slightest occasion for troops. En ry department of the road employes had selected a large number of Its soler, conservative men, to wateh and protect property and there was not the fliehtest danger or disposition to permit any harm to lie done. I was later in the council chamber at the meeting of strikers and tbe committee of safety at. hieb Gen. Harrison made a talk. The peneral drift of his speech was that the boys were lawbreakers; that they were stopping commerce; that the roads were unable to pay letter money ; that they (the strikers) ohould first return to work at what they were getting before they bad any rlaht to talk about tictter waxes or auythiug ele; that if they kept the thing up they knew that tbe militia would luk charpe ol the railroad property and compel them to submit; in the midstof his remarks he got so bard on us that the boys got excited aod yelled him down and a good many went out, I among the rest, before he got done. Patrick II. King. We will examine the narration given by William Miller. William Miller, living on John-st, Indianapolis, lud., and acting as switchman lor the I. & St. had a very distinct remembrance of the railroad strike, and what Mr. Harrison's conduct and ntlerances were during; those days so far as he came in contact with him. His statement is as follows: In July, 157, 1 was switchman in ths I. A St. L. yard, and was very well acquainted with what was going on during the strike aa 1 was an active participant in the matter. There was no disturbance on the part of tho men at anr time. In fact night and day they were watching the Property of the roads. At the conference meeting iu the old Council chamber, now MariiU'Cbor hall. I wa.i present. We bad been invited there for arbitration to meet the "committee of safety." Gov. Porter spoke and was very kind in hi talk to the boys. lie was followed by Gen. Harrison, who was severe on us from the beginning. He used the term "law breakers" with rete'.'ence to the strikers, and in discussing the matter of wages, said: A dollar a day is good enough for any working man." Thec are just tue very words he said; also in bis speeeh he liecime very excited and declan d that wc must know, if we further carried on the strike and stopped trallic, we would be put down by the militia; that they would use the bayonet, if m-eosary, to force the men to time. He got "the boys mad and lots of them went out. ttefore he pot done a lot of us began ":aw my leg od" a song the railroadcrs iifod to sin.: in tlios; days. Sayer caiuJ out and tried to get us back, but we didn't want to hear any more of -uch talk, and soon after tbe meeting broke up. W. Miller. Tbe next witness is William Shook. William fiook, residing at Urightwood, and at present employed as a switchman in the L. K. J: W. yard was talked with and found to be very clear in his remembrance of the strike and ridiculed the idea of a poor man giving Gen. Harrison his support certainly after knowing his record. He said: I was at the meeting held in the council chamber in Indianapolis during the strike of 1877 and beard Harrison make his "i-peech to the strikers." Ho talked alout the wages paid to the different men on the roads and told the fellows: "You had tetter work for a dollar a day than what you arc doing. A dollar a day ia good pay for a lalioring man." I might not use every exact word as ha said it, but that is just as I remember it, and 1 am sum I give the meauing. Nxn alter tliiM our committee got mad aud some ot tbe boys commenced siuu'in?, ".Saw hit leg off," and we weut out of the hall beiore he got through speaking. William miook. Let us call John lloskinson as the sixth witness, Joim A. lloskinson, now employed at the L E. & W. round house, and residing at the Germania house, cave the following version of his recollection of Harrison's speech at the conference meeting: In 1S77 I was working for the I., P. A C folks as switch engineer and knew much of the strike. I was at the meeting in the old couueil where Ben Harrison made bis speech. I know that his remarks were bitter against the boys and that they stopped hini several times during his talk, which was all onesided so far as the strikers' interests were concerned. On the question he made the claim that then ads were not able to pay more and that the employes ought to be satistied with what they were getting, and said "that a dollar a day was enough tor any workingman." Finally the "fellows got so hot that tin y wcut out and left him talking. The expression "saw my leg off" was used by a number of the boys when he was talking. J. A. JLIoskixson. ENOUGH TO MAKE THE BLOOD BOIL. Railroaders Were Mortally Offended by Gen. Harrison's Words. To present anything more would seem folly, but having the recollections of William Hugo, I give them: William Hugo, engineer in the Yandalia yard and residing on lluckje-st, in the city . of Indianapolis, waa actively engaged in the strike of 1677. Mr. Hugo is a fair, conscientious man, and in 1SS4 was a candidate for the legislature in ilaxioa county, being especially populär

with all who knew him. When approached be proceeded as follows: In 1S77 1 was running a switch-engine for ths same road I am working tor now. I knew nearly all the things that occurred during the strike. I saw Benjamin Harrison on Illlnots-&t. in charge of a company of militia. On tbe day of tbe meeting, in the old council chamber, I was "present, and a member of the committee representing the strikers. I do not remember wbo presided before Mr. Harrison spoke. A Mr. Wilson, I think, a merchant on t. Meri-dian-st., charged W. X. fcayer with attempting to incite a riot and I remember as well as if it were vesterday bow indigDantly be denied tbe charge. S'othing conM have been more false, a? Ntyer ith ethers bad taken the greatest pains to protect property, lien Harri wn commenced riht after tiov. Porter bad finished. As soon as he bwame warmed up he became very severe on the boys. I cannot pretend to give his words exactly as they were spoken but cannot be mistaken as to tbe position he took and tbe impression he made. He said the boys were "law breakers" and had no right to een a?k for arbitration so long as t he v refused to return to work. He attempted to show that tbe companies could not par any better wages and that tbey the men) ought to he satisfied with what tbey were getting. I remember that Payer interrupted him more than once, but I can't recall what he said. I do know that be got so bitter against tbe men tbat Fred Crane, now out West somewhere, started tbe cry "Oh! saw my leg off." With that the men jumped up and began to leave. Finally Sayer jumped up and aid, "Hold the boys; he's entitled to a hearing. Very 'e returt el after be had finished. Tbe boys congregn ted at the bottom of tbe steps aDd called Gen. Ilarriv.n some pretty bad names. They wouldn't look weil in firint; but tbey felt greatly- outraged at the manner n which he bad treated them. One would say "The is In tbe employ of one of the roads anyhow." Another, "W bat more could you expect from a railroad attornev," aud like expressions. I know tbat Benjamin ifarrison, a few days later, assisted in prosecuting a number of our people, ho were sent to the prisons of Indians. The claim that he ever -showed them any kindness will le great news to all that participated in tbat strike, and nothiüg could be more damnaMy false. It may t3 bad for him to view the infamous record he nnio in those days, but it Is enough to make the blood of a railroader boil for bis party friends now to flaunt such an absurd claim in our very faeea. AU the fellows Imprisoned signed a petition to the court for nsrdon, and Judge John T.Scott of Torre Haute got it up and took it around to the different jailers to sign. I think, also, tbat W. R. McKecn, president of our road, wrote a letter for thera, but never s word came from Mr. Harrison. In those days he would ha to as soon shook a railroader's hand as to have said a kind word for him in court especially in those cases. William Hugo. HARRISON'S Si.ooo FOR A WEEK'S WORK.

Th Differ en c Between His Wages and Those of The Laborer. It appears, however, that Gen. Harrison jlaces a widely divergent estimate npon the value of men's time and services; that he esteems the abilities of bis own clasa far more worthy of their hire than the poor mortals engasred In the more ordinary pursuits of life. While an attorney of the O. & M. railway tornranv. heretofore referred to, in March, 1S77, a petition was filed in the IT. S. court at Indianapolis for the removal of Mr. Kine, its receiver. Benjamin Harrison, with others, appeared to oppose the petition and then the court required them to state, under oath, the amount of time expended and the value of the lerrice given. Mr. Harrison made the following affidavit: Benjamin Harrison, feeing duly sworn, says npon his oath, that the law firm of which be is a member (Harrison, Hines A Miller) was employed by John King, Jr., and Daniel Torrence, receivers appointed by the court in the case above named (William King, Hobert Garrett et si. va. the Ohio A Mississippi Eillway company), on the property and effects of the Ohio A Mississippi IUilway Co., to aid in their defense npon tbe application of Thomas tuorv A Sons, Maurice, Allan Campbell and others, for tbe removal of said recovers, and that with the Hin. George Hoadly of Cincinnati, 0.; W. T. McCüntoek, Eeo., of Chill icothe. O.; and Henry Crawford of Chi cago, amaut took part In preparing tbe defenfce of said receivers. The evidence taken by affidavit and deposition was very TolunJnou, as will appear bv reference to the files in s. eause; that there were several questions of law of '.om-t riilficulty which had to be carefully examined by the counsel aforesaid. That a bearing of aid cnne t as had at Springfield, III., before the Hon. Thorr. lrummond, circuit Judge, and the Hon. John e. Treat, W. Q. Gresham, district judyes; that in Boing to and retnmiDg from tbe place appointed for the hearing and presenting and arguing the c&?, nearly one tcholi vrrk nf Ihe tiuii unj crmtumeii bj- all the counsel aforesaid, every night until a late hour being given to the case. And affiant says that he Is acJiuainted with the usual rate of foescbareed and paid or such business in said court, and tbat be believes the services of each of his said associates and of atbant were reaxmabiy worth the sum of o ihmuind dollar. Benjamin Hai ei Subscribed and sworn to before me this 31m day of March, 1877. Uowiid Caip, Seal. "otary Public. . We have discovered the leak. Each attorney in the case in question ewore "said associates and said affiant ' were reasonably entitled to "jl.OCO"' for "nearly one whole week' work." Tulling each other through. With s , a a crop of lawyers constantly at the crib, is 'it longer a mystery why railroad employes had to work for "a dollar a day" or strike. Mr. Harrison knew of these things when he stood before that committee and argued that the roads were unable to pay more. The affidavit read was made March 'M, 1 877. The conference meeting was July '26, 1S77. One thousand dollars for less than a week's work is reasonable pay for Ben Harrison, but fo a week is enough pay for a laboring man.

You Carry A whole medicine chest In your pocket with one box of Ayer's Pills. As they operate directl on the stomach and bowels, they Indirectly adTect every oiher organ of tha body. T7hea tha stomach is out of order, the head ia affected, digestion falls, the blood becomes impoverished, and you fall aa easy victim to any prevalent disease. Miss M. E. Boyle, of Wilkesbarre, Fa., puts the whole truth in a nutshell, when she says : " I use no other medicine than Ayer's Tills. Tiiey ai all that any oue needs, and just splendid to mt money in doctors' bills." Uere is an instance of A Physician who lost his medicine chest, but, haringf at hand a bottle of Ayer's Pilla, found himself fully equipped. J. Arriaon, M. D., of San Josd, Cal., writes: Some three years ago, by the merest accident, I was forced, so to peak, to prescribe Ayer's Cathartic Pilla for several sick men among a party of engl, ueers in the Sierra Nevada mountains, my medicine chest having been lost ia crossing a mountain torrent. I wa surprised and delighted at the action cf the Tills, so much so, indeed, that I was led to a further trial of them, as well aa of your Cherry Pectoral and Sarsaparilla. I have nothing but praise to offer in their favor." John W. Brown, Jf. D., of Oceana, W.Va., writes: "I prescribe Ayer's Pilla tn my practice, aid find them excellent. I urge their general use in families." T. E. nastitigs, M.
