CLEVELAND NEWSPAPER DIGEST JAN. 1 TO DEC. 31, 1852 Abstracts 902 - 906 LABOR (Cont'd) printers as well as the best men among the printers are perfectly satisfied with the wages they receive. But a majority control, and those who would gladly go to work are told by circulars and otherwise, that they will not be permitted to do so.... There are printers enough in the country willing and anxious to work at the prices we are paying, and who would do so at once had they the moral courage to resist the unreasonable outside influence." 902 - DTD Dec. 1; ed: 2/1 - Our greatest men in all ages have been active working men. Idleness, effeminacy, and luxury are now despised and laughed at. "Our age is an age of action, and none can claim exemption from some active pursuit. And we are rejoiced that it is so. It will, in the end, banish all false distinctions in society...." 903 DTD Dec. 18; ed: 2/1 - The workmen at the navy yard, Washington city, are on strike because of an order that they work more than ten hours a day. The government instead of being "just" towards labor is despotic, and Congress, if appealed to, doubtless would do nothing about it. "And when shall it be otherwise? The moment the people repudiate the sham and act out, and select representatives who will act out a REAL democracy. Then, and not till then, will labor have a voice, and Government, in all its branches, know justice, and do it." LAND.

Members of the new legislature are arriving daily to inspect the grounds and to test the elements with which they will have to deal. Yesterday the Phonetic association held its convention in the Senate chamber. L. A. Hine read an essay on the subject of language reform which was well received. Thousands are ready to concede the superiority of a uniform phonetic system, and we doubt not that as a branch of primary instruction it has high claims to the attention of educators. "It is already receiving attention in many of our best schools, and thus far more than meets the expectations of its advocates. The convention of the State Teachers association promises to be of interest. 906 DTD Jan. 7:3/1 We wonder that more of our young men do not learn German from Professor Ruger, our able teacher.

Cannot the Marshal furnish such a place? It is needed." "We DAILY DEMOCRAT think so too; and beg that the arrangements may be made on a scale sufficiently extensive, to admit of receiving such 'a description' and such 'a record' of all the 'articles stolen' by the editors of the HERALD, whose office, we doubt not, has got to be uncomfortably crowded by the accumulation in it of such articles."

"Yet strange, in a Christian paper, the New York RELIGIOUS HERALD, we find a defense of this crime! It is unblushingly made, too. The writer what a scamp he must be! - even dares to date his letter from Washington, D. C., and to say, that horse stealing exists there by law. We suppose it was written by some wild Camanche on a visit to the Capital.... "...even if it should have been written by a Camanche, it would hardly be bearable.... The Rev. J. C. Smith wrote a letter, just before the New School Presbyterian Assembly was to meet at Washington, begging its members not to touch the subject of Slavery. Here is that letter almost verbatim, only inserting the compound word horse-stealing for that of Slavery.... It shows the moral deformity of Mr. S. 's argument, and if you, reader, whether hardest conservative or wildest radical, will only remember the distinction between the value of a man and the value of a horse, you will realize it. "This was the purpose of the writer in the RELIGIOUS HERALD, and if he shall fail, with any mind who cons this letter, it will not be his fault. That's all."

Mr. Elliott, a delegate from Michigan to the Pittsburgh convention, had all his money taken at the depot. (1) 920 - DTD Aug. 13:3/1 The scene at the depot at the starting of cars is a busy one. People cannot be too careful how they keep their needful. The pickpockets are quite numerous, we are sorry to say, and, what is still worse, they succeed in getting considerable sums of money. (1) 921 DTD Aug. 18:3/1 - Our hotels are still as full as ever, and our city is full of strangers. We notice, however, with regret, a large and unfortunate addition of the so called sporting men who have come to attend the state fair and also examine the gent's pockets. Look out! 922 DTD Aug. 18:3/1 - Several spans of horses have been stolen lately. The rogues are getting flushed with success. Our citizens should do all in their power to arrest the rascals, and our police should be more on the alert.

If our citizens, especially strangers, will keep one eye on the crowd and one hand on their money, they can transact business with the other eye and hand, and at the same time be perfectly secure from losing their money.

(1) (1) See also Robberies & Assaults LATIN AMERICA 928 - DTD Mar. 30; ed: 2/1 - Rosas of South America has long been identified with the bloodiest tyranny. Juan Manuel Rosas, hero of his class in the pampas, became the avenger of Dorigo who was murdered by Lavalle and the president of the state of Buenos Ayres. The form of government is at present republican, but Rosas shares his power with neither chief nor people. Doubtless his cruelties have been exaggerated but we know of no living man whom the world could more justly denounce and damn as one of the blackest villains on earth. All Americans and English living at Buenos Ayres honor and love Rosas' daughter and wonder how so good a child could have so bad a father. "We fear tyranny will curse that fair land with many a bloody deed, ere peace, or the arts of peace shall become the aim of the government, or the wish or will of the people." 929 DTD Apr. 28; ed: 2/2 - The retirement of General Concha of Cuba was no doubt caused by intrigue; he was honest and favored the Cabans, much to the discontentment of the Spaniards in Madrid. "There is no spot on the face of the globe which will be more intently watched than the Island of Cuba, under the new Governor, by the civilized rulers of the world."

He deals severely with the despot Rosas, his predecessor, yet fairly....' 931 - DTD Aug. 9; ed: 2/2 - The difficulties between Monte Video and Buenos Ayres, have been arranged, and the situation on the Atlantic seaboard of South America wears the aspect of peace. (2) "Gen. Urquiza's address is temperate in tone, and patriotic in sentiment. He pledged himself to do all he can, to present the Argentine People, before the world, organized and happy, and when the National Congress shall have done its duty, to surrender the trust reposed in him without fearing the verdict of public opinion, or the judgment of posterity." 932 - DTD Aug. 21; ed: 2/1 The excitement in Havana is great. Large numbers of Creoles have been thrown into prisons which have been untenanted for 20 years. Dungeons are being requisitioned to punish the refractory and secure the suspected. In addition, cholera, yellow fever, and small-pox prevail to a frightful extent. Every ship is suffering. Out of one company of 120 soldiers, 110 have died, and in a chain gang of 109, 100 have perished. "Havana consequently is 'shrouded in gloom.' The reign of terror is over her." 933 - DTD Sept. 15; ed: 2/2 - Reports are that in Nicaragua the revolutionary party under Munoz, assisted by large a number of French and Americans, have taken possession of Leon. The French government is supposed to be at the bottom of the movement. "Is it possible that Louis Napoleon has taken this method of practically carrying out his idea of interfering in American affairs?" 934 DTD Sept. 15; ed: 2/2 The Peruvian government has been negotiating for British steamers, with the apparent intention of defending her guano islands, but the real object is probably to defend her territory from the threatened attack of New Granada and Ecuador.

And as for an invasion of the Island, just now, by outsiders, we take it, if such a plan has been thought of, or partially concocted, it will be abandoned at once." (2) |
