LABoR.-A number Of
ultra. .lariffites, recently assembledin New
Yorkfer the purpose of forming "Home
League" fol@thc avowed purpose Of pro.
teciing" labor through protective tariff.
Now, we would not be afraid TO wager a
trihe that this whole body did not. contain
one laborcr, nor. a man who does not EN-.
.ploy ylaborers at the lowest possible rate.
But how do they propose to protect labor,
Simply by raising the price, of cloth and
other articles Of universal consumption
Ispme forty per cent above their recent
rates! VIII they raise wages so much!
NoLit.. All.expetience gives the lie to the
pretencc. We recollect an admirable i'll.
lustration ofth;s labor, protecting opera
tion. One Of the largest manufacturing
establishments in New York had a store
connected with their works, at which the
laborers were. obliged to trade, and we
know for fact thar these laborers paid
twenty-five cents per yard for Gotten cloth
which was retailed in the village stores for
twelve and half cents! e
But let us look at this matter inthe light
furnished BY countries who have long EN-.
ioyed the protection of a high tariff
England is such country. Have her
high imposiiions Of duty on graia protect.
ed the tield laborer? If they have, we are
at a loss TO know where TO find the evi.
dence oft certainly not in the wages af-
forded under the protecting principles
The same is true of the laborers in her
manufactures. These have been protect
ed until they, as mass, are reduced almost
to destitution. The protection of labor
lis not the real object, but, if ii were, the
scheme for accomplishing it is impractica.
ble.. Impediments thrown in the channels
Of trade are not calculated to promote the
Interests oflabor by increasing ITS re-
wards. The Leagueitcs say they are anx.
ious to exclude The products Of foreign
labor. This is certainly philantaropic
effort, as it regards the almost starving
millions Of ngland's operatives!
