GOING DOWN HILL. A Story for the 'l:}mes..

“That looks bad!” exclaimed Farmer White, with an expressive shake of the head, as he passed a neglected garden and broken-down fence, in one of his daily walks. Sl *“Bad enough,” was the reply of the companion te whom the remark was addressed. *“Neighbor Thompson appears to be running down hill pretty fast. I can remember the time when everything around his little place was trim and tidy. . : “It is quite the contrary now,” returned the farmer. “House, out-build-ings, and grounds all show'the want of the master’s care. I am afraid, Thompson is in the downward path.” “He always appeared to be a steady, indusirious man,” rejoined the second speaker, “I have a pair of boots, of his make, on my feet at this moment, and they have done me gobd service.” “I have generally employed him for myself and family,” was the reply, “and I must confess that-he.is-a-good-workman; bus, ne»verthelesg, I believe I will step into Jack Smith’s this morning and order a pair of boots, of which I stand in need. I always make it a rule never to patronize those who appear to be running behindhand.— There is generally some risk in helping those who do not try to help themselves.” " “Very true; and as my wife desired me to see about a pair of shoes for her, I will follow your example and call upon Smith. He is no favorite of mine, however —an idle, quarrelsome fellow.” | e : “And yet he seems to be getting ahead in the world,” answered the farmer, “and I am willing to give him a lift. But I have an errand at. the butcher’s. Step in with me for a moment. ‘I will not detain you long.” - At the butcher’s they met the neighbor who had been the subject of their previous conversation. He certainly presented a rather shabby appearance, and 1n his choice of meat there was a regard for economy which did not escape the observation of Farmer White. After a few passing remarks, the poor shoemaker took his departure,: and the butcher opened his account- 1 book with an anxious air, saying, as he charged the bit of meat: - “I believe it is time that neighbor Thompson and I came to a settlement. Short'accounts make long friends.” . “No time to lose, I should say,” remarked the farmer.

“Indeed! Have you heard of any trouble, neighbor White ?” . “No, I have heard nothing; but a man has the use of his own eyes, you Know; and I never trust anyone with my money who is evidently going down hill.” - ~ “Quite right; and I will send in my bill this evening. I have only delayed doing so on account of the sickness which the podr man has had in his family all winter. I suppose he must have run behindhand a little, but still I must take care of number one.”

“Speaking of Thompson are you?” inquired a bystander, who appeared to take on interest in the conversation. “Going down hill, is he? I must look out for myself, then. He owes me quite a snug sum for leather. I did intend to give him another month’s credit; but, on the whole, I guess the money would be safer in my own pocket.” - J Here the four worthies separated, each with his mind filled with the af. fairs of ne;ghbor, Thompson, the probability that he was going down hill, -and the best way of giving him a push. In another part of the little village, -similar scenes were transpiring. . “I declare!” exclaimed Mrs. Ben- | nett, the dressmaker, to her favorite - assistant, as she hastily withdrew her head from the window whence she had been gazing on the passers-by, “if there is not the sheemaker’s wife, Mrs. Thompson, coming up the steps - with a parcel in her hand. She wants to engage me to do her spring sewing, I suppose, but I think it would be a venture. Every one says they are running down hill, and it is a chance if I ever get my pay.” : “She has always paid us proraptly,” was the replir. , “True; but that was in the days of ‘her prosperity. I cannotafford torun anyrisks?. = b 0

The entrance of Mrs. Thompson prevented further conversation. She was evidently surprised by the refusal: of Mrs. Bennett to do any work for her; but as a great pressure of business was pleaded as an excuse, there was nothing to be said, and she goon toox her leave. Another application proved equally unsuccessful.— It was strange how very busy the village dressmakers had suddenly beeome. On| her way home the poor shoemaker’s wife met the teacher of a small scliool in the ' neighborhood, where two of her children attended. “Ah, Mrs. Thompson, I am glad to see you,” was the salutation.. “I was about calling this afternoon at your house. Would it be convenient to settle our little account to-day ?” ; “Qur account!” was the surprised reply. “Surely the term has not yet expired ?” ‘ £tk “Only half of it, but my present rule is to collect my money at that time. It is'a plan which many teachers have adopted of late.” I was not aware that there had been any change in your rules, and I have made arrangements to meet the bill at the usual time. I fear it will not be in my power to do so sooner.” The countenance of the veacher showed great disappointment, and as she jpaésed on, she muttered to herself ; “Just as I expected! I shall never get a cent, Everybody says they are going down hill. I must get rid of the children in some way? P.rhaps I cin get. a pair of shoes or two in payment or the half quarter, Jt 1 manage ﬁﬂlt_‘, but it will never do to go on in /A httle discomposed by her interview with the teacher, Mrs. Thompson stepped iuto a neighboring groW purchase some trifling articles .of“I ﬁuy‘;q% e i my _“I have a little account against you.

‘heavy expenses of the winter. I eali not understand it.” e Her perplexity was increased Wy finding her husband with two bills #a his hand, and a countenance expres: sive of anxiety and concern. = & “Look, Mary,” he said, as she entes ed, “here are two unexpected calls f@ money—one from the doctor and tij other from the dealer in leather @ whom I purchased my last s OCK, They are both very urgent for immigé ~diate payment, although they hai -heretofore always been willing to wal§ a few months until I could make & rangements to meet their claims. Bii§ misfortunes never come singly, and #f 4 man once gets a little behindhand, trouble seems to pour in upon hing” “Just sO,” replied the wife. “ neighbors think we are going dow N hill, and every one is ready to give a push. Here are two more bilis you—one from the grocer and the oth: er from the school teacher.” _Reply was prevented by a knock at the door, and the appearance of a 1 d who d%casented a neatly-folded pap 2and disappeared, ... .. . W “@‘gl‘he'l'»%%chﬁ% account, as flive’?” exclaimed the shoemaker. “What is to be done, Mary? So much money to be paid out, and very little coming in, for some of my best customers have left me, although my work has always given satisfaction. If I could have as much employment as usual, and the usual credit allowed me, I could soon satisfy all these claims; but to meet them now is impossible, and the acknowledgment of my inability will send us further on the downward path.” S “We must do our bes§ and trust in Providence,” was the consclatory remark of his wife, as another knock at the door aroused the fear that another claimant was about to appear. - But the benevolent countenance of Uncle Joshua, a rare but ever-wel-comé visitor, presented itself. Seating himself in the comfortable chair, which Mary hastened to hand him, he said, in his somewhat eccentric but friendly manner: : “Well, good folks, I understand that the world does not go quite as well with you as formerly. What ‘is the trouble?” :

“There need be no trouble, sif}” was the reply, “if men would not try to add to the afflictions which, the Almighty .sees to be necessary for us. The winter was a trying one. We met with sickness and misfortunes, which we endeavored to bear with patience. © All would now go well, if those around me were not determined to push me in the downward path.” “But there lies the difficulty, friend Thompson. This is a selfish world. Everybody, or at least a great majority,care only for-number one. Ifthey see a. poor neighbor going down hill, their first thought is whether it will affect their own interests, and provided they can secuﬁ themselves, they care not how soon"e goes to the bottom. The only way is to keep up appearances. Show nq pigns of going behindhand, and all will go well with you.” i i 0N

“Very true, Uncle Joshua, but how is this to be done? - Bills which I did not expect to be called on to meet for the next three months are pouring in upon me, My best customers : are leaving me for a fortunate rival. In short, 1 g on the brink of ruin, and nothing but a° miracle can save me.” “A miracle which is very easily wrought, then, I imagine, my good friend. What is the amount: of these debts which press so heavily upon you, and how soon, in the common course of events, could yousdischarge them ?” “They do'not exceed $200,” replied the shoemaker; “and with the usual run of work I could make it all right in three or four months.”

“We will say six,” was the answer. “I will advance you $250 for six months. Pay every cent that you owe, and with the remainder of the money make-some slight addition or improvement in your shop or house, and put. everything about the grounds in its usual neat order. Try this plan a few weeks; auad we will see what effect it has upon our worthy neighbors. No, no, never mind thanking me. I am only trying a little experiment on human nature, I know you of old, and am not afraid to risk the money.”. Counting out the sum, with a friendly “good evening,” the kindly old gentleman departed. : Mrs. Thompson, too much overcome to speak, sank into the chair Uncle Joshua had left vacant, and burst into. tears; while her husband counted and recounted the money, rattling the crisp bills in his hands to make sure that he was net dreaming. Finally he spoke: o g :

“God be thanked, wife; and now cheer up, all will go well. We will commence to climb the hill again.” The evening closed mere brightly than 1t had commenced, and two thankful hearts were lifted to God in praise that night ere their couch was sought. . v ~ Forty-eight hours more, and all the bills presented -had been paid. The butcher subserviently exhibited his finest roast, hoping Mr. Thompson would excuse the early sending in of his little account, but he had some bills to meet. = - Loy : ~ Grocer. and leather-dealer both seemed a little surprised at the promptness with which their bills were honored, and all had the same stammering excuse that the butecher had offered. Farmer White soon again met his friend, and barely waited for the cust?imary salutation before he exclaimed: Nl 4 : “I thought -you told me that Mr, Thompson was going down hill.” “Well, we both said so, I believe,” ‘was the reply. “Heis, isn’t he?”

“It doesn’t look 8o much like it. I just came past his place, and noticed the painters at work on his house, - giving it a new coat, and he is putting up a new fence.” - “You ought to be careful, Farmer White, how you give a dog a bad _name,” was his companion’s rejoinder, “for 1 don't believe those boots Jack Sﬂn.ith made me are going to wear at all.” i Lt - “Just what you ought,” reiterated the farmer. “My wife has grumbled not a little at the ill-fitting shoes I ‘bought of him.”» i : ' Mrs. Thompson soon received a po‘lite note from Mrs. Bennett, the dressmaker, informing her that the rush of ‘business was now a little over, and she had“made arrangements that "would eénable her to oblige her with that sewing any ttme-wdmg:gntha ensuing week, if she yet wished to have 1 B dostor.

ua at the expiration of five months ‘instead of six, with both principal and interest money in his pocket. _ | “Well, well,” exclaimed the good old 'gentleman, “you found my plan worked well, eh ?” e - “Work well, al‘}inclb’-‘*gf ;iswhua! Pegﬂ; were all ready to give me a kic g;:r‘ghe h’??l, ‘wheén they saw I was climbing, as previously they had been - with their kick down.” . “The way of the world, the way of the world,” ehuckled Uncle Joshua.— “And now, friend Thompson, all I ask of you is to remember this little cir‘cumstance when you see a man going ‘down hill, and help him to climb up.” _ “Never fear, I will femember,” and ‘Farmer White himself, before many years passed on, tested the truth of it, for misfortune rapped at his door, and had not Mr. Thompson helped ‘him to keep up appearances, he might have lost the farm that both he and his wife had toiled over thirty years to gain. _ .

. . Get You Farms, - The great need of the hour is an -augmentation of the number of tillers ofthesoil. Ourcitiesmust be thinned of the immense numbers who live in them, existing from hand to mouth, earning to-day what they must eat tomofrow, and the immense territories lying unused must be brought into service to provide food. Some systematic effort to secure this result must be brought to bear, societies must be formed to aid those willing but unable to go into the country, efforts must be put forth to induce emigra‘tion from cities, the necessity of more producers and fewer consumers must be laid before the masses and plans must be perfected-to induce farm laborers to keep out of cities., The churches, benevolent societies and labor organizaiions can accomplish more in this way to better, morally and physically, the condition of the great mass of laborers than by devoting their funds and efforts in any other direction. : i : The time has come for action in this matter. Capital and labor must both be diverted into agricultural pursuits, The manufacturing , interests of the country are large enough already to supply all demands, but the food producing interests are far too small’ in proportion. The capitalist has as much to do with bringing about this change as has the laborer. Farms, owned by owners of capital and leased to laborers, farms worked on shares, farms rented for money rents, farms managed by capifta]ists and worked by paid laborers, would pay as good a rate of interest to the owner, and a far better rate to the laborer than almost any kind of manufacturing interest is at present doing. - The immense tracts of land in the west, lying idle and wasting strength, offer inducements to capital not offered in any manufacturing channel.— With such a scattering of laborers into the country and with the results.of their labor would come cheap food and higher wages, better times and better feelings. - L b

Satisfaction With the President in * Alabama. o Telegram to the Indianapolis Journal. | WAsHINGTON, July 29.—Representative Forney, of Alabama, who -is now here, says the people of his State are well pleased with the course pursued by President Hayes. He says the Democrats of Alabama and the entire South, so far as he 18 informed, are convinced that the President has the best interests of the country at heart, and they will earnestly respond to his efforts to restore perfect harmony and good feeling in fthat section. | But while the Democrats applaud the Presideut’s policy, Mr. Forney believes they will not be drawn from their party allegiance.to co-operate | with the Republicans or to assist in creating anew party. They will sustain the President in all his efforts fo bring about a better condition of affairs in the South among all people, white and black, than has heretofore existed ; but they do not entertain a thought of divorcing themselves from the democratic party, which they believe has suffered its last national defeat. | Mr. Forney thinks the President’s civilservice order, while it may temporarily weaken' the organization, will be the means of bringing a better class of men to the front than those who have dominated the republican party in the South. - g Mr. Forney has no doubts that the Democrats will organize the House without trouble, and believes either Randall or Morrison will be chosen Speaker. ; !

Go South, Ye Men of Muscle. While at the North the complaint is‘frequent that the cities are full .of men who—to reverse the British indictment for vagrancy—are able to work and willing to do so, at the South it is said that there is a serious want of labor, which, if it could be had, would meet with a mostliberal recompense. During the cotton season a more or less considerable part of the crop is usually allowed to rot ungathered simply because of the lack of hands; when there is a heavy yield this may go as high as one-third of the crop. It is now suggested that the men, most of whom are from the East, who work from Cairo, lil., to St. Paul as harvesters, might, by the beginning of September, their work being then. done, go down the river to New Orleans or thereabouts, where they would find profitable work till nearly Christmas as cotton-pickers and: farm hands. There would naturally accrue a large gain to the Southern planters, since the additional yield would be so much saved, the only charge against it being that of picking and ginning. And incidentally no small number of the laborers miggt be led to better themselves permanently by sitting in the South, which is today the most promising section by far ‘of the Union. el e

A passenger on one of the Midland railroad trains has given to the Middleton (N.Y.) Press a sensational account of a recent thunder storm. The train was near Walton and the storm was terrible. There was crash after crash of thunder with blinding lightning, accompanied by a deluge of rain and hail.

The Era of iteconciliation. A couple of weeks ago the Aldermen of Nashville, Tenn., adopted a series of resolutions eulogizing the “exalted patriotism which has characterized the Administration of President Hayes, and particularly his wise and conservative policy towards the South,” and extending to him a cordial invitation to extend his visit from Louisville to the chief city of Tennessee, Mr. J. F. Wheless was sent on from Nashville to Washitigton to convey theinvitation and in person press - acceptance thereof upon the President. .The latter was at first disinclined to extend his trip beyond Louisville, but after considerable pressure, in which Mr. Wheless was aided by the Postmaster-General, Mr. Hayes broached the subject to the Cabinet and found his council unanimously in favor of accepting the invitation, so that, unless something unforeseen should interfere to render the arrangement impossible, he will proceed from Louisville to Nashville. 'Daring, the conversation the President said, with evident satisfaction, that he had recently received from General N. B. Forrest a letter hartily approving his policy toward the South. He also said that some of the members of the Cabinet, if not all, would aecompany him. o e !

“Grandpa” Taft having been nearly nominated for Governor of Ohio by 303 votes of the Cleveland convention, a member arose and announced that the venerable Taft, was not in accord with the administration. In the excitement that followed a letter from Taft was read in which he flatly declined the nomination. Although it was authoritatively stated that Judge “Taft would not only not support the ‘administration but would not run on the ticket if nominated, he received 303 votes on the first ballot, 22 lof being enough to elect. While this might be construed as unfriendly to Hayes, the convention adopted pacific resolutions to the contrary. This apparent discrepancy, however, is nothing, compared’ with the balder-dash to catch the vote of disaffected working men ‘and the significant silence on specie ‘resumption, which has brought labor . where it is.—South Bend Herald., - _Tur wheatcrop of the United States gato three ‘hundred and ‘twenty.kve - hund (4‘.‘.5 :!

_ Capital versus Labor. - Sturgis (Mich.) Journal-Times.’ A e Perhaps it would he just as well to forego theorizing upon this exciting question for the present. When the property of the country is threatened with destruction by mob violence, there is but one thing to do while the danger lasts. The mob ‘must be put down with a strong hand, and its wrongs redressed subseyuently, But it might be profitable for reflecting men. to quietly consider the subject at theirleisure. The condition of laboring men of - this country certainly demands improvement. ' Here .we are in the midst of a continent teeming with plenty, a kindly sun beaming down and fructifying the earth, which'blooms with harvest, the early and later rains descending upon our fields until they. yield bountiful’ supplies of food for man and beast—and yet thousands of -human beings are actually on'the verge of starvation. What is the cause of it? What makes all this distress, =-~ Every reader. ﬁps have a different answerto thesequeries; and, though ‘we do® not profess ourself able to solve the problem beyond doubt or mistake, surely there are brains enough in the country to meet its exigencies. S s

‘The writer speaks only for himself in advancing the opinion that the -Telations between capital and labor in this country require readjustment.— We hold that the rule of selfishness defeats ‘itself, and should be abrogated and give place to the “live and let live” principle. . foen Labor is .deprived of too great a roportion of its just rewards.. Its %artnership‘ with capital is always a one-sided game—capital arrogating to itself the entire profits, leaving to labor but a bare subsistence. S ‘This is wrong, it is unjust, and every thinking man knows it to be 80. The laborer is not only “worthy of his hire,” but his proportion of the proceeds of his toil should not only afford him a'living, but the comforts of life as well, | e S e

Every dollar of value that ever existed was the fruit of toil. The hardhanded sons of labor created the entire wealth of the country, and yet so little do they reap that. it has passed into a proverb that “a man never gets rich with his coat off” Tln other words, labor is unrequited while capital wallows in luxury. = = Look at the-case of the. railroad strikers and their employers. The higher officers of the road, self-elected and appointed, vote themselves salaries equal to the ransom of a king.— But the poor brakeman or fireman, who éxposes his life constantly, who toils unsheltered through the storms of winter 'and_tge'iheats of summer, is put off with a pittance that will not purchase bread for his family. It is said to be an actual .fact that these ‘men get only $2.50 per week over and above .the cost of their board when absent from home. Upon this sum they must feed their families.sev'en‘ days, pay rent, doctor bills, etc. How can they live at these rates? Why, they cannot live atall. . ‘

But, says the theorist, if they cannot afford to work for such wages, let them step aside and give place te men who can. e : ‘ : Where will they go? What will they do? It has-not been possible to save a dollar these years. Therefore they cannot move their families to other countries, and if they could, where would they find remunerative employment? The fact of existence carries with it the right to perpetuate is as long as the. Author of our being may choose’ to allow us to remain on ; earth. Therefore, wquingm,en‘_snike,;j in order.to force employers to. raise their wages. SRR A Very well, it is replied, they have a right to quit work, but no right to prevent others from taking '.t‘heir;.,t plaees, 1 o :

Might necessarily makes right in such cases. . To allow others to work would be to submit to starvation—something that human nature will not and cannot endure. . - Thus stands the conflict between capital and labor—a conflict that eannot be ignored, however much deprecated. Its solution and settlement demand the best efforts of the strongest minds of this day and generation.

' 'Hayesand His Party, = * . WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.—There has been a good deal of cugoeity’lhm today to know how the President re--garded the performance of the Maine Republicans yesterday. Several gentlemen who called upon him found ‘him maintaining his usual a?fpar,_ent ‘equanimity. He was not atall averse to" conversing upon the subject. “He said that while he would of course have hLeen greatly pleased if the Republican Convention of Maine had adopted a resolution indorsing him and his administration of the Government, yet he was not in the least disturbed -by its‘failure to do so. The introdué- | tion of such .a resolution ‘and the speeches made in favorofitindicated, ‘what he knew well enougzlc before, that he ha%‘a considerable backing in - the Pine Tree State. « Referring to ‘Senator Blane’s course, he said hewas - not surprised by that either, as Mr. ‘Blaine had taken exactly the same course that might have been expected from his utterances at Woodstock. | Mr. Hayes also remarked that the proceedings’ inAuguatamterdayshowed 7 the feeling and the imfluence of individual members of the convention rather than the general feeling of the ‘whole body. The President expressed confidence that it will not be long before the Maine Republicans generally ' will be ready to indorse him. The President is undoubtedly much more disturbed by the:outbreak of hostile feeling among his Republican neighbors in Columbus, Ohio,than by anything that occurred in the Maine convention. Some of his intimate party friends participated in that affair, and it is:naturally an unpleasant thing for . him, ' This action is interpreted here as meaning a serious defection in the Republican ranks in Ohio, and indicating that the Republicans will not be able to make a harmonious or successful campaign. There is also some solicitude here as to the effect that ‘Secretary Sherman’s financial speech - will have. He is expected to defend his resumption policy, and Sherman can hardly say anything upon financial matters that will not be an element of weakness to the Republicans.

Finances of 1877 vs. 1865, = Letter of Henry C. Carey to the President. Mr. Lincoln told us, Mr. President, that our Government was “of the people, by the people, and for the people,” and so it would have.continued to be but. for the fact that his untimely death set his finance minister, Mr. - Hugh McCulloch, free at once to' change his opinions, reversing the Lincoln policy and issuing in the autumn of 1865 a decree of confiscation applicable to all debtors, but largely profitable to all creditors, a proceeding for which he should certainly have been impeached. From that time to the présent we have had a Government. “of money lenders, by money lenders, and for money lenders,” and hence it is that ruin has now spread ¢ throughout the land; that our poorhouses are everywhere crammed to suffocation; that tramps abound; that hope has now so far fled from among: us as to have made place for absolute despair; and that, bad as everything ‘now is, there is before us a still “lower deep” into which both the people and the State must be precipitated. Shall it be so, Mr. President? Shall we not, on the contrary, return tothat system which existed in 1865, when prosperity everywhere reigned, when throughout the whole country money could be freely had at five to eight per cent., and when ‘we had achieved a monetary independence so complete as to have enabled us to pass unhurt through the severest crises that Britain had at any time experienced? Upon you, Mr. President, we are largely dependent for an answer to thisim- - portant question: Let it be in harmony with the wishes of the nation - at large, and your administration will’' prove to have been a success so complete as to have secured for its head = the love and esteem of our whole people. Let, on the contrary, your decis‘jon be adverse to their so well-known wishes, and, as I greatly fear, it will leave us shrouded in clouds of darkness more complete and far more dangerous than even those which obscur- - ed our horizonin 1861, -
