London Morning Chronicle. that we are induced
at the expense of variety. to give the following
letter from that paper Of the 9Th September.
Z. s. Gazette.
To the Editor of the Morning Chronicle
PANS, September 5, 1880.
SIR The plot th,ckenso' We are in the
midst of anarchy A crusade has commenced
| against machinery. am obliged to state what
am sorry to have occasion to do that fear force
must be resorted TO in order TO suppress the spirit
of rioting.
Theworkmen are now leaguins together. The
journeymen printers have to-day Published their
| Address. It's in the form of letter to the
Courier Francais-it is placarded on all the
walls of Paris; and thousands of copies are being
distributed in the streets. These workmen are
not destitute Of money, and if they want employ
ment, it is their own fault. The Jesuis. Ex-
royalists, and Ex-Peers, are accused OF supplying
with funds the rioters. The Gazette de france
denies ths but it is not little singular that the
establishments of the Gazette de france and the
Quofidienne. the only two Royalist Journals pub
| lished in Paris, have not been visited by these
marauders, whilst all the workshops OF the Llbe-
raj Papers have been invaded. But let us do
justice even TO these diSturbers OF the public
peace. They have published their statement,
and the substance Of which is as follows
l. The master printers are too few In number
the monopoly is injurious, aud the masters are
selfish and uncharitable.
Q. The workmen have not threatened to break
or broken the mechanical presses, but have only
refused to tork.
8. Machines are good when there is an OPPOSE
ton in trade, but not where eighty printers alone
have patents to print in all Paris, being one prin-
! ter only for 10000 souls,
4. By the ordinary hand presses volume Of
the BttiothequeSss Lettres is printed for 65 CEN
times, or sixpcncc halfpcnny, and 1t is impossl-
| bic to print cheaper than that
S. In 1921 the Constitutional printed with
hand presses, 10000 copies day, and 1t does
| not print so many now with machines.
6. The Journal lie rEmpiye published, with
hand-presses 10000 per day, and no Journal
publishes as many now.
:. The mechanical presses are principally made
in England AMI therefore, by their not continu-
ins TO be made, French artizans would not be
thrown out of employ.
| 8. The Government cannot force Us to work,
but only not 10 make riots
9. The master Printers speak of Bayonets.
"Yes, doubtless when your pecuniary interests,
are at stake, you would show as much ierOcity as
the Swiss or the Bedouinsn
| This is the worst passage In the address.
10. "The National Guards are to put us
down. But why all this parade? We ourselves
will form part of the National Guard
| II. 1t is not true that we have received mo-
ney from the Jesuits or have been instigated BY
others to make these demands. We act on our
own authority and opinion, and we will have our
rights!
| This is the substance OF the address. The
Courier Fancais has not published it as il was
required to debut on the contrary, in the Jour
nal which ha. appeared this morning, a whole
column is left blank-and it is stated by the
Redacteur that there were no compositors to set
up the remainder.
The Moniteur of this day has long official
article on this subject. 1t is written with tenn
perance and Justice. 1t says that France desired
liberty and that she has obtained it; and that now
she desires tranquility, and that she shall enjoy
it. 1t says that the Government of Louis Phil
ip has shown its moderaton; but that now it will
show its frmness. 1t assures France that the
ministers will not yield TO these senseless, cries &
that it is doing all that is necessary to insure
peace and suppress rebellion.
1t appears from the statement of the Govern
ment. that many individuals have been arrested,
and that thirteen. who were the ringleaders, and
had signed an act of Convention, have been sent
to prison.
The Government has also marched INTO Paris
the 4th, 5th, 18th, 5Oth, and SD Regiments of
the Line, and you cannot walk 100 PAGES with
out encountering soldiers and patrols.
The young men in the capital, who are engaged
in shops and warehouses have received circular
letters, inviting them to assemble this evening
at seven, opposite the Bourse. Thousands Of
these circulars have been sent round, and multi
tudes will assemble from malice or curiosity, to
interrupt the peace of the capital. The majority,
however, are by no means disposed to be present.
have spoken 10 many Of them, and they state,
that, if necessary. they will even fire the work
men rather than have the capital subject to pill
lage and force.
is alleged that the workmen at Roucn, hear
ng of these instructions, are marching to Paris
to assist their fellowlaborers. l hope this re-
port is incorrect, The worst of all wars is a CT
vii war. And worst of all civil wars is when
the middng classes are opposed to the laborers.
The Bourgeois of Paris, are, however. united |
and resclute. If it be necessary, they will again
