all intended to keep these poor men idle in port
on expense or running in debt until the Election,
and then secure their united vote for the Loco
Foco ticket. That accomplished, they may go to
work at any price they can get.
We have said that these men have a perfect
right to demand So month and refuse to work
| for less but we do not assume to judge between
them and those employers who think they cannot
pay it nor do we assume that there is any spe-
cial reason for maintaining that price when all
Labor and all the products of Labor are as low as
at present AS much Clothing Food, Fuel, &C.
can be bought for $12 now as for SIS few years
ago-yes, much more. There are laborers in
abundance crowding our City and the surrounding
Country, offering to work at much lower prices
while Flour, Coal, Potatoes, sc. &c. are so low
that those who produce them cannot afford to pay
high money wages. Of course, low prices in GER
tain departments of Industry induce low prices in
nunicatiug jars will find common level. Men
abandon the productive for the better rewarded
| avocations until the competition in the latter re-
duces the reward TO an equality. All the combi-
| nations in the world cannot keep up the wages of
seamen unless the general reward of Labor is ad-
| vanced.
All this the Loco-Foco demagogues understand

CURRENCY and a consequent reduction Of qoeges.

Navigation Laws and Restrictions of other Ma
