Is it the humanity of his master , or his own importunity th a t a dj usts the rate? 'lt is not. The rate is adjusted for him by the universal law of demand and ,supply. The whole capital of a country, together with all other descriptions of income, is devoted to the payment of wages, or else is exported abr oa d, w h ere it is used in %precisely the same way. To wages, then, all capital and there fore, were to get .more presentt s h e al l i ni t i l e i h eir less, un l ' income gravitate. If one class of abourers another class must increase of wages becomes a deduction from erssfit the But profits admit of a very slight reduction es. com pared with the aggregate sum laid out in wa o- Let us sopposz_ , , that profits are ten per eent.l7 . annum in Eng?a,nd. This whole percentage, per devoted to raisiug wages, would increase them but very slightly. Tee per cent. profits on the sums paid throughout a whole year in wages would amount to but a very small proportion of each day's wages. But even the whole ten per cent. could not be added to present wages, else capi talists would be left without any income. Now, 1 a unionist may here obse rve th a t some cap i talists derive an income of tens and hundreds of thousands from their trade; that these vast incomes would greatly swell the wages paid at present to their workmen respectively ; and that what is true of great incomes, is also true of small ones. If, then, even half of existing profits were di vided amongst labourers, in the shape of increased wages, all, it might be supposed, would be well off, and the greatest good of the greatest num ber would be attained. The fallacy of this sug gestion consists in overlooking the fact that every penny of the incomes of capitalists is at present devoted to the payment of wages, except the amount spent in luxurious enjoyment by the capitalist and his family. If Rothschild and Gurney, then, have each an income of half-aeuillion a year, and expend on their living merely a tenth of that sum, it is only that tenth which could he added to the existing funds devoted by them to the payment of wages. For in those funds are already included such portions of their income as are in tended by them to be added to their capital, and as such applied by themselves, their agents, or debtors, to the hiring of labour. Indeed, as noene swallows his gold in its original state, but first exchanges it for some commodity or other, every portion of income appears, on a superficial consideration, to be cast into the wages fund ; and, in fact, operatives, as a rule, think that the purchaser of costly fabrics and other luxuries is their chief benefactor, inas much as he circulates his money freely. But, money thus circulated, would be much more bene ficial to the labouring class if invested as capital, for a demand for commodities is never a demand for labour; while a great proportion of capital is directly employed in hiring labourers. The sums, however, spent by capitalists in luxuries is so inconsiderable, compared with the whole amount paid away in wages, that to• appropriate a share 'of the former amount is a consummation alto gether unworthy of any combination or strike on a large scale, much less for an international trades union. Mr. INl'Donald, however, the Presi dent of the Scotch Miners' National Association,. recently announced that more than half-a-million has been gained by the Scotch miners within nine months by means of combination. Other trades unions too could doubtless tell a similar tale. But these facts do not, on examination, disprove the theory we have stated. Let us, then, examine a little further the general effects of a rise of wages in a particular trade. It being an ascertained fact, as well as demonstrable a priori, that the rates of profit and wages tend to the same level in all em ployments of the same difficulty, it follows that a threatened diminution of profits, consequent upon a rise of wages, in a particular line, is obviated by a rise in price of the manufactures or other articles produced in that trade. A rise of wages in a particular trade is like a tax upon capitalists in that line : such a tax would fall upon the consu mers of the taxed articles. A usual result of spe cial taxation of this sort, whether imposed by the legislature or by trades unions, is thus to place the particular trade at a disadvantage in the foreign market. Articles that have risen in price will be displaced by foreign competition ; so that the ulti mate effect of a strike is to divert capital from the very employment in which the strike occurred, and, consequently, to lower wages in that em ployment. For instance, the Thames Ironworks Shipbuilding, Engineering, and Dry Dock Com pany were recently offered a contract by a for eign company upon certain terms, which, how ever, would involve a reduction of wages with re spect to any new labourers they employed, in addition to their exisiting daily average of two thousand. The English company proposed to the working shipwrights of the port of London such a reduction as would enable them to enter upon the contract. The reduced scale of wages was refused by the shipwrights, so that the contract has passed to foreign shipbuilders. Rarely, then, do employers suffer any loss consequent upon a rise of wages in a particular trade, except indi rectly, when the articles in which they deal are displaced in the market by foreign competition. In such a case part of their capital must be em ployed in some other line, and a change of investment is always attended with more or less loss. But, so much of their capital as continues to be invested in the old employment will still bear the usual rate of profit, the rise in wages being compensated by a rise in price of the articles so produced. A strike in a particular line, however, inflicts as much damage upon the general body of labourers as it does service to the strikers. For, as the consumers of the arti cles affected by the strike pay more than they did previously for them, so now they have so much less to buy other articles. If the class which struck is itself a large consumer of the articles they produce, they are themselves the chief sufferers by the consequent rise in prices. A strike for an advance in a g ricultural wages is, therefore, not so expedient for the labouring class as a strike by factory operatives. Besides, since the adoption of free trade, a slight increase in the price of corn is certain to be followed by importation on so vast a scale as to restore the old range of prices. Free trade thus precludes the possibility of any undue demands of agricultu ral labourers being complied with. In manufac turing industry alone can they be successful. The profits of trade, however, are now so low in England that any further fall is sure to lead to the investment of capital abroad, or else to be wasted in futile speculations, from which high, even though temporary. dividends may m be e expected. reluctant Besides, foreign contractors will any country whose punctuality to enter upon a contract with the merchants ateththe er mercy . into the condition of the Belgian 1 of a trades union. The c e o e n et tra in d cl e ui lq r Creed and Williams sh ows that our p rices of are to retain our iron admit of no increase if we position in the foreign market. The sa m e , we b e li ev e, may be conedtly stated of all our chief manufactures. A successful strike in England, therefore, is likely to be followed by the loss of the foreign market for the commodities, the prices of which are affected by the strike, unless foreign operatives are induced by means of a Universal Labour Unity Scheme, as it is termed, to exact similarly high wages for themselves. A monetary propaganda of this nature, founded upon an in tended confiscation of the profits of capitalists, would be the most fatal blow which could be inflicted upon • industrial enterprise, and the general progress of civilisation. The rate of profit is low in old countries and high in new ones. Hence spring the centrifugal tendencies of capital to emigrate to new countries, where it is also most required. Social law thus spontaneously replenishes the face of the earth. Is the world, then, to be regulated by compulsion and force instead of contracts. The results of such an• hypothetical state of society, or rather of human beings in an advanced stage of savag e lif e , are too fearful to contempate. Combinations amongst workmen are, indeed, as unexceptionable in principle as combinations amongst masters. But any resort to intimidation or other violent interference with the laws of contract involve ruin to both masters and operatives in proportion to the degree in which force is substituted for their mutual agreements. PRICE.... ld. STAMPED sd. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIMES.—In the spring oflast year a ship sailed from Newport, bound ostensibly for Shan g hai. She was fortunate i n h er weather, and reached the 'reopi . cs without encountering more than a " hit of a 'mfr." Nev er th e l ess, soon after passing the Bay of Biscay she began to leak, and the pimps haul to b. 2 constantly worked. At length, on the 14th of June, the water b egan t o ga i n rap idl y, an d on t h e following day the ship had to be abandoned. The crew took to the boats, and, as the weather was very favorable, they were a ll p i c k e d up an d reac h e d England i n safety. O n th e i r arr i va l t h e usua l ap plication was made for the insurance, which amounted to a large s um . Th e h u ll o f t h e vesse l had been insured for £9,500, the freight for £3,600, and somecases of sword s an d fi rearms h a d b een specially insured for £1,500. Suspicion was raised that the ship had been wilfully scuttled, and even tually a prosecution was instituted by Lloyd's Sal vage Association against four persons. One of these, named Webb, was the first mate ; two others, Berwick and Holdsworth, were the real owners, and the agents in fitting out the ship; the fourth, Dean, was either the confidential clerk or the sub ordinate partner of Hold swort h . Th ese f our per sons were indicted on a cha rge o f h av i n g played various parts in a delibe ra t e sc h eme f or wrec ki ng the ship, and . defrauding th e os t ens ibl e owners an d the underwriters. The trial, after lasting five days, was yesterday brought to a close in the Central Criminal Court. All four prisoners were found guilty. Berwick and Holdsworth were sentenced to 20 years' penal servitude,' Webb, the mate, to ten years', and Dean, the accessory, to five years'. The case is one of great importance, not only from the ' magnitude of the crime, but as an instance of a practice which seems by no means uncommon. The evidence is somewhat complicated, but the main facts may be readily told, and form a very startling story. The prime agents in the transaction were unquestionably Berwick and Holdsworth. They were both men in a substantial position. Berwick was a master mariner living at Liverpool, and had frequently been the owner of ships ; Holdsworth was a ship and insurance broker, and had offices both in Liverpool and London. 'These men con trived, by a complicated series•of transactions, to become possessed of the Severn, without having really paid any money for her at all. Be rw i c k h a d a bad name at Lloyd's, and kept out of sight as much as possible. Holdsworth acted as broker, and persuaded Mr. Ward, a wine merchant in the city, to allow his name to be registered as the real owner. The money for the purchase was advanced by Smith, Simpson, and Co., on the security of mort gages and bills provided by Berwick through Holds worth. The real value of the ship is very clearly ascertained. In February, 1865, she had been bought for £4,500. In the following January she was sold for £4,250, and the person who finally sold her to Holdsworth asked £6,500 for her. No freight of any value was put on board her, and the ship and freight together were, at most, worth £B,OOO. As we have seen, however, she was insured for no less a sum than £13,100, and, in addition to this, there was one special insurance. The evidence respecting the latter insurance Ivasof great impor tance, as it afforded a clear indication of the frau dulent character of the whole transaction, and sup plied the chief ground for the conviction of the prisoner Dean. At the request of Holdsworth Mr. Ward received for him 4 0 dozen jars of salt, and, after selling some, sent 20 dozen down to Liverpool, addressed to Holdsworth's office. Holdsworth, at the same time, wrote to a man named Pride, living in' Liverpool, directing him to obtain some cases similar to those used for packing " hardware," to repack the salt in these cases, and then to di rec t them to the captain of the ship at Newport. About a fortnight afterwards Pride received from Holds worth a letter, which he was requested to copy. This letter was addressed to " Messrs. Allsopp and C 0.," and stated that Holdsworth had sold to them, on account of Mr. A. Smith, 500 revolvers, 200 carbines, 40 sabres, and 200 swords, and that these would be packed in cases and sent to Newport in a few days. It was shown that " Allsopp and Co." I were a fictitious firm, that the title had been em ployed by Dean, and that some of the letters with that signature were in Dean'a handwriting. 'These cases and their contents, according to Pride, when sent on board the Severn, were worth about £6, but they were insured, under a false description, for the sum of £1,500. In short, by a series of ingenious and fraudulent transactions, this ship sailed for Claw% worth about £5,000 more at the bottom of the sea than anywhere else ; and if this large sum had been recovered from the insurance offices, the profits would have gone to Berwick and Holds worth, though, doubtless, the subordinate agents would have had some share in the spoiL Such are the main facts of this extraordinary story, and, perhaps, what will most strike the reader is the barefaced and deliberate manner in which the con spiracy was conceived and executed. It appears, however, to be a fact that this practice of wrecking forms a regular trade. After the verdict, it was stated that Berwick had on two previous occasions . been directly charged with the wilful destruction of ships, and that no less than 15 vessels, belonging either to him or to his father-in-law, had been sunk at sea. It is evident that some such example was very necessary, and no one will dispute that the sentences were richly deserved. It must be remem bered that the injury to property is not the only nor even the chief enormity involved in the crime. The plan could not be executed without exposing the crew to imminent danger, and it might have involved murder as well as robbery. Indeed, the only subject for regret is that some have escaped punishment who equally deserved it. The captain is at least as bad as IVebb, but it was necessary, of course, to accept hint as an informer. Nor did the Judge hesitate to express his belief that Pride was cognisant of the nature of the transaction as well as Dean. But the crime has, at all events, been brought to light, and punished in the persons of its chief agents, and it may be hoped that so severe an example will at least check. this iniquitous and in human abuse. THE WESTMINSTER GAZETTE ON STRlKES.—Con tendon between the different orders of a State appears to be almost a necessary result of the existence of different social classes. In Old Rome the Patricians and Plebeians created as much tumult within the walls of the Eternal City as the lEqui and Volsci did without. A secession to the Aventine corresponded in prin ciple to the modern k‘ strike." In short, in every age and clime we find class arrayed against class, each hoping to coerce the other into submis sion by importunity, threats, or open force. It I was reserved for a very recent date and a very modest philosopher to discover that there are laws which regulate the distribution of wealth amongst the different ranks and individuals in a State with a force and accuracy which need no extra neous aid. Notwithstanding, however, the fact that the doctrines of Adam Smith and of free trade in every department of social life are univer sally accepted as the Mate scriptures of humanity and civilisation, and have been long acted upon by our Legislature, still, scarcely a week passes without producing a fresh strike, or in lieu thereof, a vigorous declamation by some friend of the working man, on the unprotected co ndition of the rights o labour. Yet, the laws of gravitation . are hardly more certain than the social laws which regulate, the rate of wages ; and any attempt to force up wages by means of combination is as futile, so far as the interests of the whole labour ing class are concerned, as it would be to endea vourwiatger of a lake above to its raise n any depres iwonithoefutthneau natural a level port mass. The poverty which sion of the remaining is the lot of so many thousands amongst us is, indeed, an occasion of regret to all. But, it appears to be almost a law pf nature that the' great majority of every nation should differ vastly in point of wealth from the upper ten thousand. 'This law, doubtless, is not one of such rigorous necessity, as that it must always inevitably be found to operate in every stage of society : much less is there any ground for considering that there must always be poor in the land. It is cer tain, however, that in whatever quarter the evil originates, it is there the remedy should be applied. Now, philosophers differ in opinion as to the nature of the evil, and consequently as to the relative values of different suggested reme dies. But, all who have bestowed any attention upon the matter, are unanimous in considering that tlie condition of the labouring class is not a fit sub ject for legislation, so far at least as the rate of wages is concerned. Upon any other theory, the question of the elective franchise would be a very serious matter indeed ; and where without any reference to an objective standard, would be required to decide what is a fair remuneration for a fair day's work, the upshot would, doubtless, be a confiscation of capital, a bounty against accumulation, and a complete dissolution of civil society. The existence of an indisputable standard of what is a proper rate of wages, however, renders unnecessary all appeals to opinion, legislation, or force on the matter. Why doea a labourer receive three It is currently reported, according to the Army and Nary Gazette, that Sir John Pakingtou hasgiven Vice- Admiral Lord Clarence Paget, the commander-in-chief in the Mediterranean, permission to visit the port of Toulon with the fleet during the approaching summer, so as to afford an opportunity to as many under his command as can be spared from their necessary duties to proceed to Paris for the purpose of seeing -the Exhibition. The Pull Mall Gazelle states :—" A person in London wishing to prepay a letter to Rome has to pay Bd. ; but if he posts his letter without prepaying it, it is delivered in Rome for hi 1., and letters from Rome to England, whether unpaid or prepaid, cost but Sid.
