The able and impartial manner in which his administration, has been conducted is , a Strong argument for his re-elec ion. "i News has been flashed out from Mel ' bourne, that "Jack the Kipper," of- White Chapel fame, has bean arrested. One Dom" ' ming has been arrested, and it is stated that from his confessions, he must be ucue ' less than J&ck the Ripper, who has so of.en added horror to White Chap-j'.

In National Economist. ' What producers need! Why, fair play. Thry need just treatment at the hands of the government. - In individual competi. lion they can take care of themselves, at least as well as others, but the baud of the government is teo fctroog for them. When the government levies tribute upon the pro.' duct of the laboring wan for the baoefit of the rich, the laboring ruan must pay it, though by so doing,- hii wife and children are deprived of the necessaries of life. Us may feel the injustice, but the strong hand of the government is upon him ; he must yjf-li though degradation follow. 'Ilia farmers of this country , produce i.irra than eneugh to supply thtir own ie, and in adaition more lhan enough i mpju" tl.-e iatniaf s of tbosa who live in -inlr'cBanl tie not engaged in - ! '-lor I'lyare doing ail tbij h j j t ' ti & s f id, fr evxry yesr large amounts of material for food - and clothing are ent abroad to supply the peo ple of other countries. And yet the farmers aro deprived of the comforts and .many of theuecestanesol lite. Think cf this, all you who call yourselves men. . Think of it all ye Christian phllau throi hists who have not yet touched with the little finger to relieve the heavy burdens jou have helped to bind, not , only upon the shoulders ff the laboriP'j men, but upon women aud children of teuuer age. t , ;, O, says the, prosperous non-producer Who kuows how us yet to avoid the results of hard times, "that is all fancy ; the gov. ernmetit is not down cn the laboring man, neither is auybody else; but for our farruaia we would all 6tarve " and the government become bankrupt But the same mau hud said that gold was the -only true basis for money, and admits the government wou'd become bankrupt but for the . products of the farms How Van a government become bankrupt when' it has plenty of the best basin iu the worid for money ? But the farmers produce no goid, and yet, .without the products of th farms , the goverumeut ould speedily become bankrupt Suppose that all our farmers were out of debt and should adept absolutely the . live-at home policy selling nothing baying nothing It wouid carry civiliz itioi backward, but they could do it But what would become of the i rge cities ? ' Aye, , even the uavuh aud villages the railroads, ihips and steamboats W ould they uot all soon decay and thoKe who operate them become bankrupt? Atid what would become of the government? Wilh its customs duties and its revenues obliterated, to whom would it go pleading? To the bankers with their gold basis or to the farmers with bams filled by their houest lbor with trno wealth-the neeotsaries of life. Could the government then torni, a conspiracy with-.the boarders of gold to rob and oppress the farmers by their gold basis scheme ? They did so oice by artful dlu. siouB, but the- farmers": have seen how it worKs A burn chikl will not soon forget the danger of firo. " ; -.. : , Gold is an idol which having survived the iconoclasts of all i ges bus been euthrou td by the government in free America; unto which by an edict all laboriug people are required to bring tythes and oiferiugB, having a priesthood appointed by the gov eminent with authority to regulate all value the incomes aud hours of labor of ail work ing people, the opportunities of education, modes, Of life,, the mura.S of the people; largely the virtue ef the .Women, and to exacts the lives' cf thcua..ds bl children and inany men and women 'tach ytar. ' Wt uld the loss of all the gold bankrupt the nation? On, no. J'The tjnierpiise und thrift of the peoplo in a land abounding in all forms of wealth ready to respond to the baud of labor would soon fill the laud with plenty for every one, general contentment and hapoiuess, 'could the co:d "basis idol be catt down, groui.d into liue' powder and strewu upon the father i f waieis in the sight of all the peoplt. Bat the priesthood of Unto would be without sr. .occapation. And the nunibtr cf children no longer cur tailed to satiefy his, -exactions, wouia kq multiply that there would be jreat danger iu a lew yenrs vt a, pople s, government being cBtabliHhtd. - " . How would the people's government im. prove upon ihe prc8t-ui system ? Well, it would take a largo committee of the most iuhuiuan of the. mc thousand years to devioe a scheme as evil in ail i s phrases as the present one. and any conclusion there fore, reached in a shorter time, than that would uudt.niabiy be an improvement. The present fiuancial fVbtem cf this country is the beWt for the plalocrat, pro. vided the e is no God, who shall sometime require au account of all his opprcbsions and of the lifo.blood of ail those whom he .has grouud in the mUls of h.a avarice. , ; U ell, are the fuuisra opposed to cities, railroads and all other faoili lies to com. inerce?

'I The people lodged the power to make and control mob ey with the ' government, but the government oetrayea the people by handing over i bin power to a corporation, and by enacting laws for its protection and to euf ore its arbitrary and insatiable de mands. . . ,.;- - , ..: I he producers need a convenient, safe and equitable . instrument or medium of exchange. ' Tuey produce enough with such a medium to ' improve their conditions, meth.di and resources uutil an ever-increasing prosperity vi ou:d prevail. The present system by lt8omu values. through contraction and usury exhausts, productive enierpri and effort To be - equitable, the medium of ; exchange must be free from all unnatural aud obstructive tram, mels.' Its volume mustbd measured by the volume of wealth Tequirod for consumption and demanding its agency in' effecting it- exchange. -- And it should ; come dirwetly from the goverumeht to the producer by some safe and feasible mtthod--the best known up to this time being the Alliance land-loan and eub-trQasury piau. So that land, the Eouroe of all wealth, and the pro duct of labor from the' land ' might be the basis vt the circulating medium furnished by the government at cost By this method the circulating .mediusn - would be called forth to the land the urce of;- wealth for preparation for increased production of wealth, and al ter the harvest to ihe product to insure its equitable distribution.
