THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: THURSDAY, AUGUST 16, 1877 Meta talo ball told, the whole Democratic party of South Carolina will bo under sus- picion. ae To the Editor of The Tribune. A ug. 10,—In one of your articles of jecne Fon clam that it sould bedetriment- ne interents of society If exch employe now ten hours a day would bave his working ced to taht hours, | therefore wo.ttd re- 1 to onewer the following questions uf you posh Tine red ee What tn the di@erence tu loa af tie or oducts, whether 800 men (for instance) work fen Bours and 200 men Tay Idle, or whether 1,000 men d eight hours, and none are ile? Kihich is the most bendilcial to the workingmen and society generally? - Cr LL Axawen—Only the practical question need be answered, aud by so doing the concealed sophisin of “C.F, L.”? will recelve its exposure, and this [s done most easily by statiug the real point in this form: There {8 a certain rate of wages pald by a manufacturer, fixed by the market price of labor, by the law of supply and Jemand. For ten hours per day of this work the manufacturer pays $2, or 20 cerits per hour: tan he afford tu reduce the day's work to eight hours and psy 40 cents for to hours after the nyen guié work each day and go home? Cem tainly not, because If he can afford to pay $2 for elght hours’ work he could just as castly afford to pay #2.50 for a day of ten hours. Now, reverse the proposition. Ifa workman cannot support himeelf and family for less than $2 per day, which he can get by working ten hours, how can he afford to quit work at the end of eight hours and receive Uuerefor the pro rata wages of $1,601 The question for him to deter- toine fs, whether be prefers the 40 cents extra with the two hours’ more labor, or the enjoy- ment of the two hours fn lefsure and the loss of the 40 cents while he is taking his ofum cum @aattate? He can't have his cake and eat it too, The 20 cents an hour of wages cannot run on fortwo hours after he quits work. hile he is curning wothing, his employer can pay him nothing, that is plain. If a man works halfa day he earns only half a day's wages. If he works elght hours he carns &0 per cent of a fall day's work of fen hours, and it is dificult to see bow the manufacturer can pay him for idle time. The eight-hour question turns on these con- alderations, and not on any fanciful mathe- matics such a8 our correspondent presents, To the Editor of The Tribune. Worrtinn, tlt.

We had not heard before that the Government was borrowing any money from the national banks. Our smpression {s, that the Govern- ment has not borrowed a dollar from them since 16i5,—attcr the War closed; in fact, all know this to be so, If Mr. Vosw refers to tho securt- ty-bonds of tho banks, we have only to say that those bonds were bought and pald for by the stockholders with thelr own money; they patd a Jarge premium for moat of them; they arc entitled to interest on their bonds, precisely os other people who own bonds. If the banks were to withdraw their circulation, and either keep orscll thelr bonds, the Government would haye to pay interest upon them all the same. The national banks pald the Government last year—1870—the large sum of $7,220,221 In taxes for whatover “privileges”? a system of “ freo banking? gives them, They pald on thelr notes alone $3,091,705, which was perhaps ten times as much as the cost of printing, If there Is such an enormous profit on bank-circulation us many people suppose, it fs very strange tere fg no rush among the “people” to sub- wribe stock to start new banks or encourage old ones; and it fs ati more strange that the banks have voluntarily retired over $63,000,000 of thelr notes since the amendmentto the law fn 1875, authorizing them to do £0; while only $27,000,000 of additional notes has been called for,—making a net bank-note contraction of $34,000,000 in twoycars.

Dispatches from Montana Territory, pub- Nehed yesterday morning, claim that Gov. Potts Is calling for more volunteers to defend the Territory from the inyation of the Nez- Perce Indians, and Lieut.-Cien. Sheridan, tn whose hands the matter rests, refuses to author ize him to enlist volunteers, As the dispatches read, {t would scem that there was negligence on the part of Gen. Sheridan about protecting the interests of the frontieramen or examining inty the real situation of alfairs. A reporter for Tug Tiinune had A LONO CONVERSATION WITH GEN.

In order to reach the polnta where the buffato grazed this year, the Indians would have to pass throuzh the central portion of Montana, which was thickly auttled, through to o point about 600 imiles east, scheme which would ' NOT BE LIKELY TO ne POrCLAR with the red-skins, as they had but a small band at best, while the country waa thickly peopled, and tho inhabitants were armed, “The other buifalo region, the General stated, laid north of the Missouri River; so it was a preposterous Idea to suppose that the hoetiles were contem- plating a passave throush Montana. According to the opinion of man: officers who have visited the ecene o! turbances, Gov. Potta is “TEARING 118 81nT,"” to use the Ianguage of one of them, and Is trying to gain popularity.

ALONG SEARCH REWARDED, Speciat Dicpatch to The Tribune, Fast Saaisaw, Mich, Aug. 14.—In June, 1874, Georgs Marlow, o wealthy citizen of Ontario, La Grauge County, Ind., was shot and killed, and robbed of $3,000, One Stephen nearly 1 per cent beluw the price at which it was subscribed for {by the Syndicate. A letter was addreesed by the Loan Dirislon to-day to a prominent New York banker, giving the theo- ries of the Loan officials of the cause of this decline. The letter states that the present con- dition of the loan market {s a natural reaction since the expiration of the thirty days within which popular subscriptions were possible.” The Treasury ts adyleed that a Jarge amount of the bonds were subscrived for during the first mouth. YOR SPECULATIVE PURPOSES, and not for Inveatment, with the expectation that, upon the expiration of the month, the Syndicate would immediately force the bonds above par. This has not been the case, and, as a@consequence, a considerable portion of the bonds purchased for speculation have been thrown upon the market, The decline bas fol- lowed, and is sald to be so considerable that some of the Syndicate subscribers to the loan have supplicd thelr customers: through pur- chases In the open market, instead of calling upon their bonds in the Treasury. The loan authoritics are of opinion, however, that this decline will only be tetnporary, and claim to have assurances of the ultimate succcseful ne- gotlation of their entire loan. There fs CONSIDERABLE JEALOUSY between some of the New York National Banks and the new Syndicate having charge of the 4 Jeuks was arrested for the murder, con- a "| percentloan, These banks charge that they victell and acct to the iealtentiate: were unjustly treated by Secretary Sherman tu Alter serving 8 sear, Mis coun: | the award of the new contract, und were, a sel = made application for a new they term it, frozen out" of it, The Treas- ury offtciats explain the jealousy in this way: Inthe contract with the old 414 per cent Syn- dicate, Morton, Bliss & Co. represented a larze number of banks, the names af the pauke belong: stated in the contract, but the Treasury only considered Morton, Bilas & Co. a8 the persons wlth whom the Govertemeut covtracted, as thut trial upon a technicality In the former proceed ings, W! war granted, and, while. awalting trial in Joi) at Ontario, Jenks made his escape fo Is The widow of Merlow crnployed John A, Dice, adetective, to track the fugitive, and for the vast five years he has been engaged on the case, visiting nearly overy city in the Union.

What relation Mortun, Hiss & Cu. held to. the other bankers for whom Wey nominally acted, whether as agents or otherwise, was not con- sidercd any concern of the Treasury. The Gov- ernment had doalings alone with Morton, Blise & Co,, and did not inquire Inte the relatlone which that firm may have had with other banks it represented. Accordingly, when, under the provisions of the 444 per cent cun- tract, Secretary Sherman decided to withdraw $100,000,000 frum the market und termivate Wat contract, he gave the ieaal ten days’ notice of termination to Morton, Bliss & Co.
