Sena tor to-night furnished the fol lowing letter from General Secretary Litchman, of the Knights of Labor, (or publication: PHILADKLPHIA, PA., Aug. 27, 'BB. Hon Matthew S. Quay. Chairman of the National Republican Com mittee, N. Y. City: D*AB SIB— My connection with tha labor movement for the past four teen years has made it necessary for me to be a close student of the causes of 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 f.t politically as, in bis judgment, will best aid the aims tod objects expressed in the princi ples of the organization he represents, md whose success he 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 i*. However sincere may be the ad rocates of the measures to secure ivhieh these separate political organi sations are formed, and whatever itrength in votes may be shown at the polls, the fact remains that the :andidate of either the Republican or the Democratic party will be the next President of the United States. Therefore, to him who has the yood of his 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 organisations de sire, I believe that the Ropublican party, in adopting and advocating the American system of encourage ment and protection to the labor ana wages of our own land, id 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 owu 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 labor, thns making idle our own toilers and reducing to a lower level the stand ard of American wages. When the Knights of Labor and kindred organizations shall have ob tained in foreign lands the Bame 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 Until this equaliza tion can be accomplished, and until tbo 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 piuper and degraded labor of the balance of the world This restriction, supplemented by 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 an* by our example lift the labor of the whole world to a higher and bef.ei plane of existence. Which p ver party wins, something must be dooe to regulate more strict ly this importation of foreign laboi unr'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 mtdd by pauper labor, but the importation of both tb? labor and the goods. While under free tfauu gqo.d* 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 lowe* r&t£ of wage* to those employed theretu. The power of a workingmau tc consume depends on what be receives for bis labor. Unemployed, his pow er to coaaome, except on charity oi thieft, ceases. I prefer that America should be a land of workers rather than a land of thieves and paupers What is true of the individual U true of the Nation. The primary el ements of National wealth and Na tioaal prosperity are production, dis tribution and consumption. Whatev er affects the powet cf l»bor to con sume affects the entire lnteF«sta o the Nation Whatever lowers the wages ce labor affects its its power toconsjme. Au 'average reduction' of 7 per centum on the cost of good' imported will not compensate Ameri can labor for tbe loss of 100 psr cent um in wages in the lines affected, aud of from 10 to 50 per centum in wagat in the wages in the line of employ ment by the substitution of the free trade for the protective system. 1 hold it to be far statesmanship tc build up and retain our home market by a system that prouuts American labor than to command a market in foreign lands secured by the whole sale degradation and pauperization ol our own people. Every dollar's worth ol labor value imported is by such a reduction ol home laborer's wages This axiom is not offset by the declaration thai there are more goods in the imported dollar's worth- The position of the protectionist is rather strengthened by Buch a specious presentation or the matter, because the question is thee instantly forced upon every intelligent man, How can American labor eari dollars if the industry in which he is experienced is tranfcrred to foreign lands. The theory of protection, advocated by the Republican party, is the un derlying principle upon which all la bor organisations are founded. A friend to organised labor that believes in organization as a means to eabanp* and maintain wages cannot consist ently oppose a party that applies tc all labor the same principles of pro tection from unfair competition thai the individual trade organisation gives to the single trade. Trade or ganizations do aid in advancing wa geg in their respective trades, and the protective syatejji demanded by the Republican party wiii secure for all the toilers \n the laud a similar tosle* iag 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- 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, noi one in which higher wages are paid The warnings of the officers repre eenting those trades against free trade are very signficant and shoulu be heeded. 0 A careful consideration of all these facts convinces uie that the present is a grave crisis in tb;* political affairs 01 this countrv, and that I havenorighl to remain silent. My position as General Secretary of the Knightg ol Labor has given me an intimate knowledge of the various phases ol 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 Britist free trade sentiment in the North would be the most serious blow to organized labor it coald possibly re ceive. I cannot remain inactive ic such a conflict. Therefore, to yoi 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 Buccess of Harriso c and Morton, the representatives in this campaign of the American idea of protection to American labor. 1 have the honor to remain, Yours to command, CHARLES H. LTTCUMAN, COMMUNICATIONS, Anniversary Birthday. EDS CITIZEN: —We will endeavoi to give the readers of your valuable paper, what may be termed, "an an niversary birthday," as there is actu. ally, bat one birthday in a life time: the so-called birthday, "is an anniver sary birthday." On the 21st day ol Augmt, 1888, we had the pleas ure ol meeting with the people ol Venango township, Butler county. Pa , at the residence of Mr, Joseph Sloan, where about two hundred and twenty-five men, women and children met in honor of the 60tb anniversary birthday of J. W. Sloan, son of the aged citizen Joseph Sloan, This was a very rainy day, and the house and barn were crowded to overflowing. Two tables were erect ed in ihe barn, and the good Mary 3 soon filled them with the staff of life; and the pleasing sound of a soft voice was heard to say, "dinner is ready.' The table was soon surrounded, with Revs. Hover and Dickey at the head After a blassing by Rev. Ilover, the the people, set to work in the usuai manner. As soon as the eating con tract *ras concluded; the meeting was called to order by Dr. McM'k' 6 o( Farming ton Franklin Jamison was elected president and John Thomas secretary. Able addresses were de livered by Revs. N. H. Hover and A. B Dicker. Isaac Miller was call ed on, and he gave an account of Mr J. W Sloau : 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 able and touching speech by tht president. Mr. J. W. Sloan was a good soldier and is a good neighbor snd worthy of all the honor that waf conferred on fiira, on this occas ion. It is a great blessing to have the opportunity of meeting with then in this life. This great privilege ol meeting with our friends etaches us t lesson; that we are born for a higher destiny than that of earth. There is $ roajiß where the rainbow nevei fades, li'lipi-e tfce gtarß will be spread before u-t ii« * islands that siqnib.er Qt the ocean; uu«l where the being 3 thai pass before uy liki shadows shall b!ay in our pre«ence forever.

In the Senate of tbe United States the Committee on Education and La bor recently, July 9, submitted the foHowlsj "joint resolution proposing an smedment to the Constitution of tbe United Stateß," and recommend ing its submission to tbe Stares to become valid as a part of tbe Nation al Constitution when ratified by the Legislatures oi ibrge-fourths of the Stales, as provided in the Constitu tion. This is similar in action and object to tbe proceedings held or now going on in several of tho States, ex cept that the amendment to the Na. tional Constitutional will be submit ted ft r «d( ption to the Legislatures tfl£|fefiJHlMftLAS4 li u& to the gtople that being 1 the mode required for amending the National Constitution. When three fortbs o( the 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 beeu 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 the power to regulate com merce betwen the States, and that this liquo: business is "commerce." There certainly therefore can be uo reasonable objection to Congress re ferring the subject to the Legislatures of the States, no more than there could be to the 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 in 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 the 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 dinjj 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 £or Butler, a most pleasant and enjoya ble feature of the afternoon being the absence of formality and formal speeches. On their arrival here, the bride and groom were tendered a sup per and reception by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W.H.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.
