WASHINGTON, August 30. Sena tor Quay to-night furnished the fol lowing letter from General Secretary Litchman, of the Knights of Labor, for publication: PHILADELPHIA, PA., Aug. 27, 'BB. Hon. Matthew S. Quay. Chairman of the National Republican Com mittee, N. Y. City: DEAR SIR—My connection with the labor movement for the past four teen years has made it necessary for me to be a close student of the causes ot labor depression and of the needs of those who toil. While, as a body, a labor organiza tion may refrain from active partici pation in politics, so much of what organized labor demands must be ob tained through legislation that the individual member of the labor orga nization must act politically as, in his judgment, will best aid the aims and objects expressed in the princi ples of the organization he represents, and whose success he desires. In the gigantic political struggle now begun, side issues count as noth ing, except to aid or hinder the prin cipal combatants in the political are na. However sincere may be the ad vocates of the measures to secure which these separate political organi zations are formed, and whatever strength in votes may be shown at the polls, the fact remains that the candidate of either the Republican or the Democratic party will be the next President of the United States. Therefore, to him who has the good of bis country and the welfare of her people at heart, the necessity exists to choose to which of these two old party organizations shall be given his aid, either directly or indi rectly, by voice or vote. While it may be that neither party offers all that labor organizations de sire, I believe that tho Republican party, in adopting and advocating the American system of encourage ment and protection to the labor and wages of our own land, is nearer the declarations and desires of organized labor than its free trade opponent, the Democratic party. The conflict is between the Ameri can system, as represented by the Republican party, which would fost er and encourage the labor of our own people and retain for them the market and wages of our own coun try, and the British system, as repre sented by the Democratic party, which would break down the barriers of protection and throw open our home market to the productions of foreign factories and foreign l*bor, thus making idle our own toilers and reducing to a lower level.the stand ard of American wages. When tho Knights of Labor and kindred organizations shall have ob tained in foreign lands the same com manding position and influence enjoy ed in the United States, the inequal ity in wages will disappear, not by leveling our wages down, but by lev eling our wages up. It is far better to level up than to level down, as the larger the income the larger the pow er to consume. C ntil this equaliza tion can be accomplished, and until the wages of labor abroad shall equal those at home, there must be a pro per restriction of immigration so that our land may not be the dumping ground of the pauper aud degraded labor of the balance of the world. This restriction, supplemented bv a continuance of thorough, systematic organization of the labor already here, in conjunction with the American idea of protection to American labor, cannot fail to secure for our people the results of their toil and by our example lift the labor of the whole world to a higher and better plana of existence. Whichever party wins, something must be done to regulate mors ctript ly this importation of foreign labor unt'er contract and the immigration of paupers and dependents. If noth ing should be done, then Democratic success would mean not free trade in goods made by pauper labor, but the importation of both tfcc labor and the goods. While under free tr&ua may be cheaper to the consumer in certain lines, the labor made idle in those lines must turn to other means of employment, and thus by compe tition compel a lower rate of wages to those employed therein. The power of a woriingman to consnme depends on what he receives for his labor. Unemployed, his pow er to consume, except on charity or thieft, ceases. I prefer that America should be a land of workers rather than a land of thieves and panpers. What is true of the individual is true of the Nation. The primary el ements of National wealth and Na tional prosperity are production, dis tribution and consumption. Whatev er affects the power of labor to con snme affects the entire interests of the Nation. Whatever lowers the wages or labor affects its itu power to consume. An 'average reduction' of 7 per centnm on the cost of goods imported will not compensate Ameri can labor for the loss of 100 per cant am in wages in the lines affected, and of from 10 to &0 per CDNTJIM in wages in the wages in the lino OF EMPLOY ment by the substitution of the free trade for the protective system. I hold it to be far statesmanship to build np and retain our home market by a system that protects American labor than to com maud a market in foreign lands secured BY I .HE whole sale degradation and pauperization of our own people. Every dollar's worth of labor value imported is by such a reduction of home laborer's wages This axiom is not offset by the declaration that there are more goods in the imported dollar's worth. The position of tho protectionist is rather strengthened by such a specious presentation of the matter, because the question is then instantly forced upon every intelligent man. How can American labor earn dollars if the industry in which he is experienced is tranf'erred to foreign lands. The theory of protection, advocated by the Republican party, ie the un derlying principle upon which all la bor organizations are founded. A friend to organized labor that believes in organization as a means to enhance and maintain wages cannot consist ently oppose a party that applies to all labor the same principles of pro tection from unfair competition that the individual trade organisation gives to tbo single trade. Trade or ganizations do aid in advancing wa ges in their respective trades, and the protective system demanded by the Republican party will secure for all the toilers in the land a similar foster ing care. That is is is clearly understood by most of the thinking leaders of orga nized labor, is proved by the Ameri can system and a home market by the presiding officers of the organiza tions representing the iron and glaps industries of the Uuited Stated. There is no better organization of any one trade than Amalgamated Associ ation of Iron and Steel Workers. There is no trade more thoroughly organized or better disciplined that of the window glass workers, nor one in which higher wages are paid. The warnings of the officers repre senting those trades against free trade are very signficant and should be heeded. A carefal consideration of all these facts convinces me that the present is a grave crisis in the political affairs ot this couutrv, and that I have no right to remain talent. My position as General Secretary of the Knights of Labor has given me an intimate knowledge of the various phases of the labor question, and from the knowledge thus gained, I do not hes itate to say that the triumph of the Democratic party, dominated by in tolerance in the South and British free trade sentiment in the North, would be the most serious blow to organized labor it could possibly re ceive. I cannot remain inactive in such a conflict. Therefore, to you and your associates on the National Republican Committee, as the repre sentatives of the Republican party, I offer my services in any position or capacity where they may be desira ble, or be thought most useful, to aid in securing the success of Harriso n and Morton, the representatives in this campaign of the American idea of protection to American labor. I have the honor to remain, Yours to command, CHARLES H. LITCHMAN, COMMUNICATIONS, Anniversary Birthday. Eps. CITIZEN: —We will endeavor to give the readers of your valuable paper, what may be termed, "an an niversary birthday," as there is actu ally, but one birthday in a life time; the so-called birthday, "is an anniver sary birthday." On the 21st day of August, 1888, we had the pleas ure oi uieetiug with the people of Venango township, Butler county, Pa , at the residence of Mr, Joseph Sloan, where about two hundred and twenty-five men, women and children m»t in honor of the 50th anniversary birthday of J. W. Sloan, son of tho aged citizen Joseph Sloan. This wa3 a very rainy day, and the bouse and barn were crowded to overflowing. Two tables were erect ed in ihe barn, and the good Marys soon filled them with tho staff of life; and the pleasing sound of a soft voice was to say, "dinner is ready." The table was sqot; surrounded, with Revs. Hover and Dickey at the head. After a blossing by llev. Hover, the tho people, set to work in the nsual manner. As soon as the eating con tract was concluded; the meeting was called to order by Dr. McMikle of Farmington. Franklin Jamison was elected president and John Thomas, secretary. Able addre&sea were de livered by Rcvs. N. 11. Hover and A. B Dicker. Isaac Miller was call ed on, and he gave an acconnt of Mr. J. W. Sloan's soldier life during the rebellion. Then the president pres ented Mr. Sloan with quite a number of presents, as tokens of true friend ship, on his 50th anniversary birth day. The meeting was closed by a very a!,ls aud touching speech by the president. Mr. J. W. Sloan v?as a good soldier and is a good neighbor, and worthy of all the honor that was conferred on him, on this occas ion. It is a great blessing to have the opportunity of meeting with them in this life. This great privilege of meeting with our friends etaches us a bsson; that we are born for a higher destiny than thai, of earth- is a realm where the rainbow never fades, where the 9tara wili be spread before ui I k.; islands that slumber on the ocean; arjci where the beings that pass before us like shadows shall stay in our presence forever.

In the Senate of ibe United States the Committee on Education and La bor recently, July submitted the following "Joint resolution proposing an amedment to t{ie Constitution of the United States," and rcaoiyiflend ing its submission to the States to become valid as a part of the Nation al Constitution when ratified by tho Legislatures of three-fourths of the States, ns provided in the Constitu tion. This is similar in action aud object to the proceedings held or now going on in several of the States, ex cept that the amendment to the Na tional Constitutional will bo submit ted ft f adc ption to the Legislatures of the Statei and not to the people that being the mode required for amending tbe National Constitution. Wben three-forths of tbe States ratify it then it becomes a part of the Con stitution. And if so ratified it would settle the whole question of liquor making and selling as a drink. Here tofore it has been argued thit the law or action rather of one State cannot bind or affect the law or action, or now action rather of another State. Or in other words, that Congress alone has tbe power to regulate com merce betwen the States, and that this liquor business is "commerce." There certainly therefore can be no reasonable objection to Congress re ferring tbe subject to the Legislatures of the States, no more than there could be to tbe Legislatures referring it to their several people for vote there on: The following is the proposition now betore Congress, and which all good citizens would be entirely will ing to see submitted to the Legisla tures of the several States as amend ment to the National Constitution: ARTICLE SECTION 1. The manufacture, im portation, exportation, transportation, and sale of alcoholic liquors as a bev erage shall be, and hereby is, forever prohibited in the United States and iu every place subject to their juris diction. SEC. 2 Congress shall enforce this article by all needful legislation. Wedding Bells. One of the very pleasantest affairs of tbe year was the wedding of Mr. H. Q. Walker of this place, to Miss Maggie E. Bovard, daughter Wash ington Bovard, Esq. of New Hope, this county, last Wednesday even ing, September 5, 1888. The wed ding was solemnized at one o'clock by Dr. Samuel Kerr, D.D., of Harris ville, assisted by Rev. Warnock, of New Hope. A sumptious dinner fol lowed, after which the time was spent in various ways until six o'clock, when the bride and groom left for Butler, a most pleasant and enjoya ble feature of the afternoon being the absence of formality and formal speeches. Qn their arrival here, the bride and groom were tendered a sup per and reception by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W.II. Walker, assisted by a few of the friends of the family. The wedding ceremony was attend ed by about one' hundred guests, whose names we would like to pub lish but could obtain but the follow ing: Esq. Wm. H. Walker and wife, Dr. and Mrs. S. Bvers, C. N. Boyd and mother, Mrs. Randolph, J. D. Mcjunkiti, Esq , and daughter Miss Clara, J. M. Galbreath, Esq. and family, D. A. Heck and wife, Sheriff Mitchell, wife and daughter, Miss Edith, Mrs. Dr. Bippus, Miss Britta Walker, Miss Campbell, Ira McJunkin, Esq , Gilbert Walker, and S. 11.
