THE STRONGEST SPEECH delivered during the present campaign in Ohio is that of Gen. Tom Ewing, at Columbus, last week. It is a masterly argument against the Sherman resumption act. 'To have this issue jointly discussed by Messrs. Sherman and Ewing would prove very interesting. |

* IN NEARLY ALL the engagements between the Russians and the Turks, during the past three weeks, the latter havebeen generally successful, ihough sustaining heavy losses. The Rnssians are making desperate efforts to swell the decimated ranks of their|armies and to retrieve théir lost fortunes, " Their losses have been very great, if we may believe a small portion of the stuff to which the readers of the dailiesare being treated by corréspondents from the seat of war. e i

Tune wWorRkK of strengthening the South by rapidly conceﬁtratidg-manu-facturies in the heart of the producing ‘regions goes bravely on. The people feel a new vigor, and e‘p}ter into the work with zeal. ‘They see. their home products madé. into saleable material in their own country, and already they'are reaping the reward of such a course. At Chaltanooga a new cotton compress, costing $30,000, is to be immediately erected, and a cotton mill will alsp -soon b under way. : S

DuriNG Friday and Saturday of last week the condition of Senator Morton became so critical as to arouse the gravest apprehension. 'lt was generally believed that he could not live beyond Saturday night, ‘Since that time, however, a slight improvement seems to have set in, and hopes are now entertained that he may possibly ‘‘recover. The- utmost anxiety has been evinced in-all parts of the country, and the telegraph has been kept in constant operation to keep his admirers’informed as to his condition.

Tne New York 7'imes has been interviewing a large number of business men of that city as to the prospects of fall trade. They nearly all express an opinion- that the outlook on the whole is encouraging. ' Nobody. looks for an excessive business ol’ great profits, but there is a general expectation of healthy activity and reasonable gains, which findd justification in the improvement already shown by &' comparison wiﬂ}h a year ago. Thelong-continued hatd times have fostered more conservative and ‘healthy business hagibit‘s, and there is a general preparedness to Build up again on a sounder basis. |

" GEN. SiMON CAMERON, (the great mdhnipulator of Pennsylvarg_ﬁa politics, was recently interviewed. [He frank.ly admitted that both Pemnsylvania and Ohio are likely to go democratic next fall, and attributes tlia cause to the Southern policy of the administration. After r‘emafking,in’ reply to questions| of the correspondent, that he did not “recognize a great statesm4n in Stanley Matthews,” that “but for the office-holders Fayes would not have been President,” that John Sherman is “all for’ himself,”_.tfmt “the money to pay Sherman’s expenses to New Orleans wag sent from Pennsyl_vania,” arid a great deal to ﬁelp elect THayes "als‘i); he spoke of the effect of the late:strikes upon the future business of the country, declaring that the preserﬁ; was the gloomiest period in our history since 1820, and that*it is \probabﬁk:that some of the railroads i would have to go into bankruptey. - Gen. Cameron also stated that he was in favor of resumption but not in favor of settingy a day to resume just now. 4 s by o :

' NO LITTLE DISAPPOINTMENT i 8 expressed among farmers and others that the Russo-Turkish war has sig“nally failed to cause a maintenance of the high/price of wheat which ruled for three or four months prior to the recent harvest. An explanation may. be foundagti the following: England has certginly imported modre “wheat ~ and ﬂoxﬁlsinde Russia declared war ‘against Turkey than before, but Russia “at the same time has increased its exB ports of these same commodities to England in a wonderful degree. For - ‘instance, the returns. of the British Board of Trade-show that the importations ?t ‘wheat ‘from Russia into - England, during the month of June ~ last - amounted to $5,240,000, while during the correaponding month, of 1876 their value was only $865,000. The London LEeonomist, discussing these m,. attributes the compara- " tively latge supplies of wheat receiv‘ed in England from the east “to the . ‘effect of the war in hastening the dispatch of all available grain from the disturbedl territories, some of it com- _ ing by rail through Germany, by the ~ way of Marseilles, That it was the - war,” the editor of the Economist con- ~ “tinues, ¥and not the recent rise in ‘ signments of grain from abroad, tho mop's mporis o whestfrom ARSI DA . ﬁﬁgﬁ% *7' L 5%3“1‘%@%}?%%% = , S ‘i‘.\;‘s;:l% 0 S hags *M%js??m 4 :Aén« «f‘&“& h,*"v’-"ﬂ P — r..f»riw;,*yv}f“’f‘?' o V,w."ﬁ?{s% , it A S SRS D) S o T R

. WHY UJ GARE SUORED, || e ai,lwnliirhiew,of"t& efforts that are now being made to organize Patriot presents a number of reasons why such a project cannot su o That paper argues,among other things, that in a coumtry like this, where nearly all are “workers, a labor organization which fails to recognize its various phases of activity, can neve’xilobtain a permanent foothold. It does ‘not embrace enough interests to com‘mand popular sympathy. The short life of the Grangers of the West, who, separating themselves from the }‘rest* of the community, undertook to inaugurate an economical revolution is a case in point. They obtained con‘trol of the Legislatures of several of the Western States, and set themselves to work with reckless energy to manage the railroad corporations. They appointed Boards of Commissioners upon whom they imposed the duty of ‘regulating the charges for freights and passenget travel. What was the ‘fesult- of this interference of govern- ‘ ment with the business of the people? It created embarrassment and confu‘sion in railroad management never ‘known before.. Capital took alarm ‘and fled to moré congenial regions ' where rights of private property are respected. Many raitroad corporations ‘were driven to bankruptcy. Business ‘interests of every kind suffered, and 1 workingmen ' in great numbers were thrown out of employment. |The' Grangers have disappeared from the political field after a short.and disastrous -career and their legislation ‘along with them." They undertook to bring the government machine into collision with economic laws and the result written all over their legislation was disastery . o o LT Another reason, the Patriot contin.ues, why such organizations can obtain no lodgment in the politics of the country is in the confusion of ideas that prevails among- them. [Each seems to have a spegial plan of social regeneration. There are all sorts of ‘theories from the brutal demand that Government shall seize all the highways of trade to the dreams of the French socialists. . The confusion of tongues is as great as that which confounded the builders in the plain of ‘Shinar. - From this incoherent babble ' emerges with most persistency the demand that government shall lay its ‘heavy hands on all industrial enter‘prises by assuming control of the rail: roads of the country and regulating freights as well as wages of employes. This is the most dangerous and at the same time the mast plausible ef all the schemes of the labor demagogues because it embraces the notion of 'the right of the majority to regulate all the-concerns of the people through a government of their choice. The con-. trol of the railroads, canals and telegraphs by the government would be but: the initial- step in this vast programme of economical reform ‘with which such ' demagogues as Stanley Matthews and West seek to dazzle the imagination of the sober workingmen of the land. Upon the same ’pri'nciple all the industrial occupations of the people would be taken under the paternal care of the central g‘ov.erm‘ﬁent. Individual effort and personal rivalry, which have been s essential to national development, would be suppressed since they would be no longer necessary when the government takes. care of all?h}\ei;;zens. With all the affairs of the pdeple in the hands of a central government, gigantic rings would ‘draw. ‘their anaconda-like embrace around it to stifle the last breath of popular spirit and enterprise. To suppress discontents and individual aspirations for liberty a vast standing army would be required in such a system of centralization,” When this machine of government should be completed in accordance with the dream of the socialists, men would gladly flee to China to escape itis odious despotism and corruption,

CONGRESSMEN ON THE SILYER QUES- ) TION. | . CHICAGO, August 24th, —The InterOcean, having addressed a circular letter to various members of Congress asking them to indicate their position on the subject of rembnetizing | silver, has received replies from 197. Of these 131 favor the repealing of the law of 1873 and restoring the silver | dollar to its old place in the coinage. | Fifteen favor remonetizing with con- | ditions attached, eighteen oppose re- | monetizing, thirty-one are undecided and two decline to answer. These answers represent every State and include thirty-one Senators and 166 Representatives. Of the latter 113 advocate the measure and thirteen “oppose it. , F o - There is now but little doubt that the infamous and deceptive t)roceed-‘ ings of 1873 will be speedily undone. ‘Publicsentiment is thoroughly aroused on this question, and if a popuiar vote could be taken for or against the old silver dollar, we feel assured that remonetization would: prevail by an overwhelming majority. | There is but one point’in ‘regard to which wé still enterain some apprehension. It is this: Congress may not.go far enough. ‘lf silver remonetization is to be made. of ayail, free coinage and unlimited legal-tender features must be insia{ed upon. Nothing short of that will accomplish the purposé for which congressional action is being invoked. The law must be so framed as to provide for the coinage of every pound of silver that may be brought to the mints, and the dollars thus produced must be made 8 legal-tender in any sum. This accomplished, the people may reasonably look for better times. | .

This morning as we passed dxgrwn street we noticed a general commotion among the business jportion of the. town’s population. Clapp and Prentiss were rushing from door to door with their morning papers, explaining the state of affairs concerning the Turko-Russian war, and having different papers, the-explanations were various, and created a good basis for argument among the store-box loafers. Judge Tousley walked up street, as man never saw him walk, with a bit of blank writing paper, and turned neither to the right nor left until he brought up at Prickett’s oflice. Prickett at that time was upbraiding eur Legislature for not passing an act providing for the erection of a mountain of immense structure to be used as a summer resort, thus saving traveling expenses to other parts. Even Pete Sunday put on his great apron, and from all appearances was about to go to work, but aminute later as wé pass‘ed Motz & Hadley's grocery,we noticed him there sweetly reposing 1n an easy chair, quietly discussing the. probable outgrowth of the coming *strike,” while Hadley, Charley Haney, Mike Beck and Grandpa Franks were dwelling upon the injurious and outrageous custom of whipping children, During all this time Dick Stone was speaking to Ed. Ray about the cruel practfee of high prices, saying that, “last time you hauled six sewing machines for twen-ty-five cents, and now you want the same for only four machines.” Yes, this is a busy day. e : * Mr. Olds and family, brother of Dr. Olds, bave been visiting in town a few days. They return to Ohio, their home, to-day (Monday). L ' .Our public schools begin this year’s work again on Monday. We have two new teachers, Miss L.Lucy Woodruft of this place, and Miss Burke of OQhio.— With the course of study somewhat changed, we expect tosupport a school second to none in the county; in fact, a No. 1 school. .

It costs at least six dollars and a quarter to decline a visit to the gourt when invited by.the Sheriff. =~ Last Saturday Perry Charter was arrested, charged with having too forcibly manifested his love for his grandsire, Mr. Bartley, Out of pure love he knocked the old man down, which riled the old man’s temper some, and he straight-way went to town and filed ‘a complaint against the youngster and had him' arrested. After spending two days in the jail the culprit was led forth and the twain shook hands across the bloody chasm and called it “square,” and are now both enjoying freedom, which is the boast of America. ¢ s

THERE are indications of ? genetal movement in the direction of formirng a “Workingmens party.” The movement is a natural sequence of;the re‘cent labor troubles and proposes to carry the question into politics. At Cincinnati the workingmen have nominated a State ticket which will probably be indorsed by workingmen throughout the State. In Columbus the movement has gained considerable head and is said to be rapidly spreading. : It is even claimed by the committee that the new organization will secure a controlling power in the Legislature and elect a United States Senator in place of Stanley Matthews. Probably 'they exaggerated their strength and prospects, as the organizers of new parties generally do, but in the present state of affairs it is not unlikely that the movement will assume considerable proportions.— Indianapolis Journal. . -

If the working men of the land are shrewd, they wiil not throw their votes away in an abortive attempt to build up anéw party. They can accomplish their object much better by identifying themselves with a party which has always . respe’cted their rights, viz.: the Democracy., All they need to do is to attend Demacratic conventions and assert their influence. In eight cases out of ten they can control the nominations, and nominations thus- obtained usually stand a very fair chance of an indorsement at the po}ls.

JAMES H. JONES, the colored coaehman of Jeff. Davis during the war, publishes a statement wherein he denies in emphatic terms the oft-repeat-ed story that the ex-president of the late Confederacy attempted to escape in woman’s clothing at the time of his eapture by the federal troops. In his statement Jones declares: . “He and his wife had been sleeping in their tent. Whemn I went in he got up, and by the time he got his clothes on the soldiers were in the camp, and ten or twelve of them were standing at his tent door with their guns. No one could pass in or out. Mrs, Davis -and the children had not time to dress. Mr, Davis.went to the tent door, and was ordered by the soldiers to surren‘der. He replied he would not; that he would die first.® At this Mrs, Da‘vis pressed to her husband and put her arms around his neck, begging the soldiers not to kill him, both she and the children crying piteously. c “It is stated that Mr. Davis had on a hoopskirt, and was otherwise disguised as a woman. This is wholly false, He was dressed in his ordinary clothing, with cavalry boots drawn over his pant;a-,[awaterrroot ‘over his dress coat, and a shawl thrown over “his shoulders, and on his head a broadbrim white or drab Texas hat. He had not' an article ‘of female wear about his person.” . o - ' The miners of the Pennsylvania ﬁ@tﬁogaﬁnn»mm 8,000 in number, appear to be anxious to aid in the adan offer which they do not seem ine T e s s :,@@&‘ LI 01N 450 . dy to accept it. -

Lef thy. gentle voice be heard.” ./ % T Lo,heromm 11 it e gl ' Nirms, Mich, Xuer26, M 7, Some time past we left the city of Rome for the purpose of visiting difs ferent parts of the country on a business tour, and to take observations generally of the signs of the times.— In Ohio we find the politicians making ready for a vigorous campaign. ,Both of the old parties clai{m a certain vietory in October, but in many places the people have become tired and disgusted with both of the old political parties, and are now calling for a new deal. The greenbackers are becoming very numerous and very active, and sheould they form .a fusion with the workingmen’s organization, which is virtually the same thing, they may carTy the State. It is probable that there will be a full greenback ticket in the field in every countyin the State. The “phantom,” of which THE BANNER used to speak,is now becoming a stern reality. : : Having hastily glanced at Ohio, we will now commence our narrative at LaOtto, Indiana. LaOtto is a small, thriving village in Noble county, at the crossing of the G. R. & I. R. R. and the.Detroit & Eel River R: R.— Doctor Taylor is the principal business man of the place and is doing a large business, and he is a live greeng backer. The citizens of this village are suffering severely from malarious diseases. Those who have not got it are looking for it and expeet it. . Quinine here is a legal-tender. -

. Columbid City, the capital of Whitley county, is rather dull. But Columbians can boast of one thing, and that is, they have the nicest public square. in Northern Indiana., We tried to find “O. N. Ward,” called at his place of business, and were informed that he had gone in séarch of meat for family use. : % At Pierceton we found our old frieud, W. W. Best, formerly of Ligonier.— Pierceton is one of the best business points on the P, F. W. &C. R. R, and the business men here ax}ebecoming wealthy and retiring. Large competition in the hotel business here. _

. Warsaw, the county-seat of Kosciusko county, is seemingly on the standstill. The business men are mostly of the old fogy style, and are content with moderate business. G. W. Green, formerly of Ligonies, is now running the Kirtly House and is doing a rush: ing business. IHis house is always full from garrett to cellar. Here we made the acquaintance of Sheriff Hamlin, whom we consider a very clever genfleman. .. - ° , * QOur next stop was at Milford. This town is situated half way between Warsaw ond Goshen, on the C., W. & M. R. R. Here is located Doctor Levi Keehn, formerly of Ligonier, who is said to have a fine practice. Milford has some live business men, amongst whom are P. F. Miles, Mart Felkner, and others. - Milford needs a good ‘hotel, the lack of which is keenly felt. . Leaving Milford we soon found ourself at Goshen, the county-seat of Elkhart county. We had the good luck to meet Billy Beane of the Goshen .Democrat on the street, but business ‘would not permit a longer interview. Billy is not satisfied with the financial .condition of the country and seems to be a little despondent. He has our sympathy, and we hope he will soon espouse the greenback cause and get better. Here we met Hon. John H. Baker, from whom we learned that he is emphatically in favor of a Tepeal of the resumption act, the remonetization of the silver dollar of our daddies, and making greenbacks a legal-tender for all dues, including custom duties. Thus we see if Mr. Baker had power and backbone sufficient we could easily see the advent of better times: = -

At Elkhart we met our old friend, Capt. Wm. M. Barney, who is now engaged in the boot and shoe business. The Captain has always been a violent Democrat and a great political worker, but has now come to theconclusion that it is country first and party next. The Captain is now an undisguised greenback . man and thinks weé can easily cai'ry our Congressional District for the greenback ticket next election, Doctor Davepport, one of Elkhart’s greatest and noblest men, and who has always been an uncompromising Republican, is of the same opinion as Capt. Barney. b .

From Elkhart we lit out and soon found ourself at Southßend, the home of our former Vice-President, Schuyler Colfax. It was Saturday, and the appearance of the streets was that of life and business; but inside doors it was decidedly dull and business men complained. ’Wa%ermelons "blockaded the streets, and still they came by the wagonload. Auctioneeririg was goingon at four different points at the same time; at one or more the Sheriff was the auctioneer. And all this we used to be told is caused by over production and extravagance on the part of the laboring classes. As for us, we have no patience to listen to such silly and insulting arguments. g ; oo o Moveanon, - ALEXIS,

Put the law in force, without fear, favor, or affection, and these acts will then be stopped, but as long as you lay idle these depredations will be continued. . Boys, did you not know when you went into Frank Smith’s cornfield, tore up his potatoes, and tore .off his corn, in broad daylight, that you were doing wrong; that the law did not approve such conduct? Boys, don’t be alarmed if you see a man hailing from Albion, coming up to you, using these words; “In the name of the State of Indiana, I arrest you.” Now, boys, let this be a last warning.

Many of these comments border alarmingly close on the brutal, and are at best a ‘disgrace to respectable journalism. To be continually harping upon his physical misfortunes and seeking to make political capital out of God’s visitation upon him is an evidence of cowardice of the meanest type—the kind that would strike a woman and strangle a helpless infant.
