CHARLESTON, TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 25, 1872.
EIGHT DOLLARS A YEA&
THE NORTHEM STRIKERS.
RISE AND PROGRESS OF THE LABOR
MOVEMENT.
The Action of the Employer? and Work?
men-A Word on Strikes-The Other
View of the Question.
The derangement o? labor caused by the
eight-hour agitation in New York and at other
points continues to excite general remark; but
lt ls alleged by the New York papers that the j
disposition now ls to accept the action of the
employers on Tuesday night as the turning of
the tide. That action was by the employers
of all branches resolving that they would
reject the eight-hour system, accept ten hours
only as a day's work, and bold out to the
bitter end. In some trades, though, it is
Kr.own the eight-hour rule has been conceded I
. to, and in others the demand for Increased !
wages granted. The following history of tb,e j
character and progress of the strikes contains 1
many interesting facts, some Indeed that are I
j really surprising as to the amount of moneyed
.?support afforded by combinations of other
; workmen abroad as well as at home. The I
/ reflemlon cannot but be suggested thereby
that the same amounts of capital applied by I
the workmen in starting co-operative estab-1
V Hshments o? their own, In which they would I
I take to themselves all the profits of their j
labor, would be a much more economic thing I
than this unproductive consumption while
labor ls suspended. The Herald relates as
follows:
Seven weeks ago the Journeymen painters I
of New York demanded of their employers
the adoption o? the eight hour system, without
any decrease In the existing rate of pay tor a I
da.7'8 work. The employers resisted the de-1
maud, and the men struck. Their example
waa speedily followed by the carpenter?,
bricklayers, plasterers, masons and others in
the building business, and the strike gradually
spread, until lt embraced nearly every trade
and calling lu the city. The German cabinet
makers formed an eight hour league, and, as
they bad command of a large amount of I
money, they managed to draw a vast number I
of men into the movement, although their I
Organization lacked energy aud ability to head
a general rising. The strikers met with vary
lng fortune. The carpenters, masons, painters,
bricklayers and plasterers succeeded, and re
turned to work nnder the eighth-hour system.
The pianoforte-makers and coachmakers-gave I
way before the firmness of their employers, I
and abandoned the strike. A large number
of trades remained in the movement, but the | ;
prospect lor a general concession of their de-11
mana did not look very promising until about I ;
two weeks ago, when the iron and metal work-1,
era took the field. Mainly through the efforts of J i
one mau, who commenced by getting small I
croups of workmen together and talking over I :
the matter, ibis new element lu the I
movement grew with wonderful rapidity. I
Agents were sent out among the iron I
m?n all over the State o? New York I,
aud all along the line of the Brie rall-1
way lito other States, organizing strikes, and . ,
the euect ot the energy o? the leaders soon
made itself apparent. To-day the Iron and I ?
Metal Workers' Elgbt-bour League numbers
over ten thousand enrolled members. It has
been Joined by a branch ot the English Society
of Steam Engineers, a branch of the Interna-1,
donal Machinists' and Blacksmiths' Society, I,
and other foreign organizations. The Amal-1
gamated Society of Engineers of England have
paid hali a million o? dollars to the credit of I,
the "League tor the nse and benefit of the j ,
strikers; the International Machinists and
Blacksmiths have subscribed one hundred .
thousand dollars for the same purpose, and |
other European societies have followed with
smaller donations. To-day this Ironwovkers'
Leagne bas a capital of three-quarters or a
million dollars and a weekly income from sub?
scriptions ol their own men who are working.!1
on the elght-honr principle, and from other 11
societies, reaching seven thousand dollars. I '
The leaders declare that the strike is now self
supporting- that is to say, that they have I
fonds enough to take care of all the men who
may quit work. The consequence Is that the |
movement is spreading In all directions, anew I ?
impulse has been given to the strike In every 11
trade, and the trouble already experienced I
seriously in some quarters is likely to extend 11
to' the railroads and Into every manufacturing
district. i
Such was the history np to the action of
the New York employers on Tuesday even- j
ing. That action is now extensively canvass-11
ed at the different meetings of the working
mee, and forms the prevailing topic ot con-1
venation in business circles ther- disturbed
by the strike. The employers thought a blow
had been given, which, for the present at r
least, will |defeat the elgbt-bour movement. I
Thejfctrlkers, on the other hand, seem not en
tl rely disappointed, but aver that, together I
with the relief afforded by the Eight-Hour
League and that contributed ,by the workmen I ,
who have obtained their demands and are I :
now at work, they will be enabled to bold 11
out as long as the employers. The latter who I,
sign the resolutions In New York are some.]!
three hundred in number. Including leading 11
manufacturers, who are said, with others who I !
agree with them, lo employ in ordinary times I '
some forty-five thousand operatives, and one I :
of their resolutions is as lo Ho ws :
Resolved, That we will not hereafter retain '
In our employment any workman guilty of I.
any act loosing to the arbitrary establishment
ot relations between the employer and em- I
ployed; and In conclusion, we earnestly call
upon our mechanics individually to exercise
their own good sense In the present emer-1
gency, and to avoid evil counsels. That we
will hereat ter pay our workmen by the hour, a nd
employ such as are willing to work ten hours
per day, and we will close our establishments
if necessary, and keep them closed until wal
can employ workmen on this basis. The
"Trades Unions,'' societies and leagues, so
called, have, by their unreasonable and arbl- I
trary demands, done much to disturb the rela
Hons between employer and employed, by
forming combinations to secure the same rate
of compensation for inferior as lor superior
workmen, by dictating to employers the con
dillons under which they will be permitted to
conduct their business, in some cases lmpos
lng heavy flues on such employers SB Infringe
the regulations laid down by their workmen,
and we consider such tyranny incompatible i
witti the best Interests of both.
A WORD ON STRIKES.
Ther* is much to be Bald, however, at this
clay, and in the light of Its Intelligence, on I
this whole subject of labor. The annexed
temperate and comprehensive article from the j
New York Post ls, therefore, worthy to be j
read:
The tone ot a portion of the press in relation
to the strike ie, we think, to be earnestly dep-1
recated. We hope and believe that the larger
number of the men engaged in these attempts
to better their condition are moved by a de
sire to correct by rational means, and without
resort to turbulence or force, what they hold
io be an Injustice done them In the order of
society. To assume the contrary to* be the I
fact, and to accuse the men on strike of being
always, and by choice, reckless and violent,
is just trie way to make them BO; ls just the I
way to depress the rational and sober portion
of them, and encourage those ol the other
sort, who Infest every popular movement, and
who will, if possible, turn it from ii s legitimate I
end. or bring lt about by illegitimate measures.
Workingmen on strike, lt should be co ns hi-1
ered, are under peculiar temptations, are ex
posed often lo peculiar hardshlps,and uecessa-1
rily count among themselves always a certain
number of men who are ignorant, little amen
able io reason, and Impatient naturally of a I
slow and peaceful method of attaining what,
it seems to them, can be reached by a sudden
und violent effort. It ls this class which needs
to be held under restraint, and which the
more considerate workingmen find lt the most
difficult to Influence and control. It is cruel
and short-sighted to say a word that adds to
i his difficulty, and it makes the Solution of a I
rvoblem, which we have got to solve some-1
flbw In ibis generation, all the harder. |
STILL ANOTHER VIEW.
j There Is also that which cannot be disre?
garded io the statement called up by the New
York Bulletin, that Schultze, of Delitsch, the
great labor apostle of Germany, revolution?
ized the industry of his country by the sound
maxim that the only means of improving the
condition ol the workingman ls by increased
production and increased economy of earn?
ings. He so impressed his countryman with
this Bound principle, that it has served them
to equally good purpose in Hie Fatherland and
in the home of their adoption in the United
States. In this country the adoption ol this
! principle has rendered them the most indus?
trious, tbrilty and prosperous portion of our
foreign-born population. Hence, adds the
Bulletin :
It ls lolly to assume that strikes are wicked
measures pushed to wicked em's by wicked
men. It ls not yet absolutely settled us a
moral law that men who work with their
hands are only to have their daily bread, and
that those who work with money are to have
all the combined profit of. labor and capital.
It 1B, moreover, a question becoming daily
more and more complicated precisely what
dally bread ls, and how much ol it the indivi?
dual man and brother ought to have in his In?
dividual basket. Ours is a "commercial age;"
the world ls richer than it ever was before,
and is richer because lt ls more intelligent.
With the accumulation of riches inevitably
comes up the question of their distribution
a question by no means without lis difficulties,
especially calling for the wisest heads for its
settlement, and not at all likely to remdn set?
tled any considerable time by a policeman's
baton. Possibly that argument must some?
times be resorted to, but tne sooner brains
can be put to some better use than to be
knocked out by the batons, the Booner we
shall come to a rational conclusion ol the
whole BU rj oct. If things are right Just as they
are, lt will not be un easy task to prove (hat
to the majority in the world, who have begun
to doubt ll, and it is braius, not batons, that,
they will submit to. The sooner we begin to
be rational the belter.
To the German workmen the idea of im?
proving their condiiion by ntandlng idle must
appear a self-evident absurdity. It ls contrary
to all their habits and tendencies. They know
beforehand that an enforced or voluntary Idle?
ness ot a lew weeks will entail on them a loss
that cannot be compensated by a year's Indus?
try, even under the attainments ol ihe objects
of the strike. The suspension ol' loc?me and
the sure outgo for rent, food, and other neces?
sary expenses of living, are definite and posi?
tive losses that can hardly be counterbalanced
by the doubtful adVPitages promised by the
trades unions.
The New York Journal cr "Amerce says :
Nobody, however, can esca, ? from the cost?
ly consequences ot tue strikes which have
been goinc on here now for nearly two
months. They have raised the prices of many
of the necessaries of lire, and increased the
expenses of every description ol busi?
ness in New York. Every man with
anything to eell is revising or preparing
to revile his price-list wiin a view to
meet the greater expenses of carrying on
business. But, of au wno will have to pay
dearly for those violent and long-continued
disturbances of the natural laws ot trade, the
strikers will he the worst ofT.
The barbers .ot seventeen hundred shops
struck this morning for reduced hours of
labor. They demand to work from seven in
the morning to eight nt night, with only one
hour for dinner. Twelve hundred f hop:t ac?
ceded to the demands of the men Immediately,
Dther Bbops still hold out, and the strikers will
receive assistance from the elghl-hour league.
The planomakers have resolved to form a
strong association to resist the demands of the
strikers.

TUE WHEAT PROSPECTS.
Figures of the Forthcoming Agricul?
tural Report-Reduced Area of Wheat
but good. Average- Condition of the
Crop.
WASHINGTON, June 24.
The June report of the statistical bureau of
the department of agriculture now in press
ls exhaustive in IIB treatment ot wheat sta?
tistics. lt is based upon reports from 903 coun?
ties, of which 199 Indicate an average condi?
tion, 270 higher than the average, and 434
show a low condition ranging from 100, the
standard of a medium prospect, down to 10,
and lu a lew cases to an entire failure. The
state of the average is calculated not simply
from the number of counties reported, but
from ihe comparative production of the seve?
ral counties. These 903 reports include a
very large proportion o? the wheat area of the
country. The summary ot the returns of the
area show a reduction of two per cent, from
that of 1871.
The average of spring wheat, in States
which grow that variety mainly, ls repre?
sented as follows: Maine 108, New Hampshire
100, Vermont 102, Massachusetts 95, Wisconsin
98, Minnesota 101, Iowa 106, Nebraska 113,
Oregon 107. California, where ihe dtstrlou
tlou of spring and winter is scarcely known,
reports spring 120, winter 130. Illinois, where
winter wheat constitutes two-thirds of the
crop gives 101 for winter and 75 lor spring.
Kansas, where spring wheat, predominates, re?
turns 140 for spriug and 62 lor winter. The
States growing winter wheat are: Connecticut
95, New York 98, New Jersey 98, Pennsylvania
90, Delaware 96, Maryland 100. Virginia 98,
North Carolina 101, South Carolina 96, Georgia
98, Alabama 105, Mississippi 95, Texas 115,
Arkansas 90, Tennessee 103. West Virginia
100, Kentucky 92. Ohio 88, Michigan 92, Indi?
ana 94, Illinois 101, Missouri 92.
The condition of the predominant variety In
each State is thus stated: Maine lol, New
Hampshire 99. Vermont 106, Massachusetts 99,
Connecticut 88, New York 68, New Jersey 70,
Pennsylvania 70, Delaware 70. Maryland 44,
Virginia 85. North Carolina 101, South Caro?
lina 97, Georgia 105, Alabama 115, Mississippi
104, Texas 117, Arkansas 110, Tennessee 117,
West Virginia 85, Kentucky 108, Ohio 78,
Michigan 75, Indiana 85, Illinois 80, sprlmr
103; Wisconsin 104, Minnesota 106, Iowa io.
Missouri, winier 58; Kansas 108, winter 46;
California 99, Oregon 95.
The general average of condition for the en?
tire crop is 94 per cent. The department esti?
mate for the crop ot 1871 ls 230,000,000 bush?
els at eleven and a halt bushels per acre,
considering twelve bushels an average yield.
The area and condition ol the present crop, on
the Hrs', week in June, pointed to a product of
220,000,000 bushels in 1872. The crop of 1869,
which was about 16 per cent, above an aver?
age, and the largest recorded in ten years,
was 287,000,000 bushell, as returned by the
census.

FIFTH A VENUE HOTEL.
THE
The Proceedings, the Candidates and
thc Platform.
In pursuance of the Invitation extended by
Judge Stlllo on the adjournment of the con?
ference Thursday night, the few gentlemen
who were dissatleiled with the somewhat un?
expected results attained met again on Friday
morning at the Filth Avenue Hotel, to discuss
the situation and arrange some plan of action
whereby their dissatisfaction might And
united expression. The meeting was informal
and entirely private, no reporters being ad?
mitted. There were about twenty-five persons
present, the most prominent being the fol?
lowing:
Thos. T. Gantt, Mo. Mr. Morwltz, Penn.
Julius Dexter, Ohio. Orram Follett, Ohio.
Ex-Gov. Cox, Ohio. Jos. R. Flanders, N. Y.
Simon 8terue, N. Y. Judge Colline, Ohio.

E. A. Pratt, Mass. C. H. Marshall. N. Y.
Ed. Atkinson, Mass. A. L, Ear), N. Y.
0. Ottendorfer, N. Y. Theo. Bacon, N. Y.
The meeting was called to order at ten
o'clock promptly, Thomas T. Gantt, of Mis?
souri, being elected chairman. Julius Dex?
ter, of Ohio, and .'iimon Sterne, ol this city,
were chosen secretaries. Ex-Governor Cox,
ot Ohio, made an extended speech, which was
listened to with the closest attention. He
said thal, while he was disappointed at the
result of the Cincinnati Convention, and while
he was strongly opposed to Grant, he could
not consent to attach his name to any more
calls, or lo Join any new organization. The
prominent position he had taken in the past,
as well aa the various papers he had slgued,
ought to demonstrate his position unmlstaka- ?
biy, and to relieve him ol any suspic'"" *?' ',n* :
fai i h fulness or timidity, H- considered that
the editors present, aa well as every otL >r In
dividual there, should use all their influence to
further the objects which originated and aol- ]
mated this movement. He should in public '
as soon as possible Announce himself as op- 1
posed to General Grant; but he must say that :
he could take no part In effecting disorganiza?
tion or discouragement in the element oppos?
ed to his re-election. At the close ol his
??leech ex-Governor Cox withdrew and took ,
no part in the subsequent action of the
meeting.
Emil Rothe, Editor ol the Volksfreund des
Westerns, was decidedly opposed to the CIn- .
cinnatl nominees, and said that be did not
believe Mr. Greeley and Mr. Brown could !
carry aoy ol the German vote. He should go
to Ballimore, make the same repr?sentai lons
at that convention, and would do all lu his
power lo oppose their endorsement or nomi?
nation.
Judge Stallo, ot Ohio, said he had voted lor
party tickets long enough and that no party ;
could ever say they owued him. :
Carl Daenzer, editor ot tho Anzeiger des '
Westerns, said that In the event ol a nomlna
lion being made by this conference he would .
hoist the ticket at the head ol lils columns,
even if no oiher paper did. ,
Edward Atkinson spoke at considerable
length, and repealed substantially the argu- .
ments he brought to bear tn the conference on 1
Thursday. ,
Henry D. Lloyd, of New York.'sald he had
beeu a member ol the Cincinnati Convention, 1
and expressed bis disappointment at IIB action
and nominees. He desired a platform that
would represent the convictions of the people,
and a candidate who would represent that
platform, and he did not consider that Mr.
Greeley and Mr Brown, nor the Cincinnati
platform accomplished those purposes. In ad?
dition the speaker said he knew hundreds ol'
young Democrats la this city who would
never support them.
A long speech wan also made by Judge Oil- '
ver, ol Ohio, and theu, ou motion ot Judge <
Siallo, W. D. Groesbeck was nominated as a I
candidate for ihe Presidency, and. on motion |
of J. M. McKlm, of New York, Frederick Law <
Olmsted, of New York, ?was nominated lor the 1
Vice-Presidency. i
A motion was also made and carried that an I
executive committee of three persons, real- i
dents ot Cincinnati, should be named, wit li
power io add to their number, thus making f
Cincinnati ihe headquarters of ihe movement. <
Tue committee so named consisted ol Georg?: I
Hoadly, Charles Strubel and Julius Dexter. I
The following preamble and resolutions were I
then presented and adopted : j ;
TUE RESOLUTIONS. I
Whereas, At a conference ol gentlemen from i
the several Stales of the Unlon?.lield Rt New ,
York city, on June 20, 1872. ii has been con- ,
elusively shown that me opposition lo the re- ,
eiectlou of General Grant cannot be, nan ,
ought not to be united on Horace Greeley; ,
therefore, be lt
Resolved, That the following declaration, in j
our opinion, contains the political principles ,
essential to.the welfare of the American peo- '
pie. ,
Resolved, That we, as independent citizens, ,
disregarding former political ntl)Hat ions, and j
laying aside all mere partisan prejudices, now ,
demand wltn equal suffrage for all c?mplele j
amnesty tor all; we demand a hearty and un?
reserved acquiescence; in the constitution as
lt stands, accepting all the amendments In
their true Mgulficance; we demand equal civil
and political rights for every citizen, und com?
plete protection In the enjoyment of those
rights.
Resolved, That local self-government with
impartial suffrage will guard the rights
of all citizens more i? jcurely than any cen tra!- '
Ized authority, and we affirm our belief in the '
doctrine that the people are best governed <
wblch are governed least. We, therefore, de?
mand lor the individual ihe largest liberty con?
sistent wit'i public order; we demand lor the
State self-government, and for the nation a <
return of r.be methods ol peace, and to the ?
constitutional limitations of power.
Resolved, 1 hat we are opposed to the employ- ?
ment ot governmental patronage for party
purposes; we protest against the use ol public
offices tn reward political friends or to punish
political enemies; we ore in favor of the i
adoption of a thorough system of civil service ,
reform: ano we demand a return to the early ?
practice under our government of appointing ,
men lo office on the ground of their fitness i
only, and of coniinuing them there while they ,
are honest and efficient. <
Resolved, That national taxes, whether col- ,
lecied under an excise or tariff act, should be i
Imposed for revenue only, and not lor what is i
called protection; and that all trade or ex- ,
c.iange should be as free as. the necessity of
tlie government for revenue will permit.
Resolved, Thal an act whereby the promise
of a dollar Is made a legal tender in place of a
true dollar can only be defended as a necessi?
ty ol war. and that Justice demands the re?
demption ol ihe promise, and that tue stand?
ard of value may be true and Just, and that
the honor ol the nation may be maintained. 1
Resolved, That undue devotion to party has 1
already greatly damaged the republic, and we
now engage ourselves to discountenance, In
every possible way, the despotism of party or?
ganization, and the abject submission ot 1
voters to the dictates of party politicians.
Resolved, That Horace Greeley does not 1
represent these principles, but has been a life?
long opponent of the most essential of them.
Resolved, That we, therefore, reject his nom?
ination as we reject that ol' General Grant.
Resolved, That we recogolze in William S.
Groesbeck, ol Ohio, and Frederick Law Olm?
sted, of New York, men fully In accord with
our principles, and of such character and
ability as io be worthy ol the confidence of ihe
American people; and that we recommeud
them lo all patriotic, Independent and liberal
voters for their support at the coming Presi?
dential election.
Who and What they Are.
Mr. Groesbeck-was born In New York about
the year 182G; studied law and removed to
Cincinnati, where be engaged in the practice
of his profession. He was elected to the 35th
Congress from Ohio, serving on the commit?
tee of loreign affairs, was a member ol the
Peace Congress ol' 1861, und in 1862 was elect?
ed to the Senate of Ohio. Since then he hus
figured with success at ihe bar, and, ii will be
remembered, greatly distinguished himself by
the ability of his plea for Andrew Johnson on
the Impeachment trial. He wus much disap?
pointed by" the failure to gat a place,
either first or second, on the Cincinnati ticket;
but he was not backed In his aspirations by
his own State. He is wealthy, penurious,
lrlgld In manner, and ia not personally pop?
ular.
Frederic Law Olmsted ls known mainly as
the engineer of the New York Central Park.
He was a member of the sanitary commission
during the war, and is nowa commissioner for
t he National Park or California, which includes
Yosemite Valley, the Big Trees, Ac. He first
came before the public a? the writer of a pleas?
ant book of pedestrian travel, entitled
"Walks and Talks of an American Farmer In
England."

The Financial Chronicle makes the following
report under date of June 21st:
The market bas been without any notewor?
thy feature during t he past week. Prices have
remained stationary under a moderate export
and spinning demand. Stocks are now re?
duced to small limits, and yet holders appear
willing to let lt out to supply the current de
mond at present high prices, as crop accounts
continue favorable and Liverpool and Man?
chester reporls have been less satisfactory.
For forward delivery the fluctuations have
been frequent though slight, with the specu?
lative tone feverish. The possibility of a cor?
ner is always hanging over the market, mak
ineltvory sensitive, and hence every slight

Reports from Southwest Georgia and
Florida.
A correspondent who has recently travelled
through Southwest Georgia and Florida
writes us as follows In reference to crops In that
section: "I find In the western part oi Deca?
tur County very poor corn crops Indeed. The
cotton crops are very good, particularly where
they have been properly cultivated. In this
county, (Jackson County, Fla.,) the cotton is
very small as a general thing, and the corn
crops very inferior. There cannot possibly be
more ihan half crops of corn made in Jackson
and Decatur Counties. The caterpillar has
made Its appearance in many ot the crops
already, and snonld they begin to destroy the
crops now, but lillie cotton will be made.
Tills part of the country lias suffered much for
rain, but while I am writing we are having
quite a shower and some Iii tie hall.
"That portion of the cotton that was up be?
fore the Hrat drought setln ls lu a most prom
islog condition, but that that did not come up
till the rains late In May ls already regarded a
(allure. Tills amounts to about twenty-five
percent, of the crop, and the falling on* in
ihe yield will be In that proportion, even If]
Hie seasons from this lime forth shall be pro?
pitious."
A correspondent writing from Stockton
>ays: "Tue farmers of this vicinity have been
rather discouraged tor some weeks past on
recount of the drought. It is the general
opinion that corn is cut off one-fourth, while
colton ls looking very weil, and the recent
rains, with fair prospects for more, will make

His dying testimony to the many friends whom,

who administered to him to the hoar of death,
was that he died in tho raith and love of cn.-ute
His bereaved parents bear witness to his uni?
form devotion, which induced a love from them
higher and stronger than that which .springs
from the mere tie of nature. He ls gone, but
the-y hope ia Christ and through the blessed
promise of the Gospel to meet him once more la
