L. N. HARTER, Hon.

Surely no one will say that the thousands of men now out on the strike, men whose only capital and means of support is their power nd capacity to labor, would without some cause and what seemed to them to be a good cause too, have lef1 their employers and gone into voluntary idleness accompanied by unavoidable expense and loss. The fact of the strike itself considering its magnitude justifies the conclusion that some deep and long borne wrong is at the bottom and this iij turn demands at the hands of every citizen, every patriot, every lover of humanity, a most candid and careful study of the cause, and of the remedy for this trouble. And a congress that can and does set in session while this great struggle is goiug on, with careless indifferences both as to causes and result likely to come of the strike is indeed stoically recreant to a great responsibility and a plainly apparent duty. The importance of the labor question demands candid and. thoughtful consideration freed from all animosities, all heated words and rasping declar ations, and effective legislation to the ends that every right on both sides of this great problem may be secured in equity and justice and that capital and labor may oe secured from encroachments from the other to the end that the product of labor, the basis of all true and material wealth may by means of cheap transpor tation and sound financial provisions, the two great agencies for promotion and prosperity, be properly and speedily distributed.

And to the further end that money the creature, shall not lo.nger be superior to its creator and employer, for without labor as the employer of money, or capital as it is sometimes im but Kansas more, as we contrast Tobacco.

Mr. Harper is an orator of the highest type, and whether agreeing or disagreeing with him, it is a positive pleasure to hear him. In handling the labor question he exhibits marked ability and his speeches contain much sound sense. Whenever he may visit Springfield in the future he may expect a large and appreciative Springfield (Mo.) Herald, April 8th. We had the pleasure of meeting Col.
