NJ The Pls6eian bemoans the oppressive
1rcres of 50 to 100 per cent. which the 1eoPie
are compelled to pay for their lron' Sat- glass;
woolens. and Manufactures generally, by reason
oe the atrocious Wing Tariff. Now, nelghbor,
can't we coax you to make specific statements
item by item, of the prices Of these articles under
the low Rererue Duties of 1911 and under the
present Protective Tariff d. oblige Us by at
tempting to sustain your assertions when the
evidence is so handy. We have begged this
favor Of the Eeening Post, Journal Of Com
uerce and Gazette in vain, but we trust you
have more pluck Why won't you either stop
asserting an increase Of prices consequent on
Protection or attempt to prore 1t
Dislntercsted Eintsncss-Thc Courier 6,
Enquirer.
Our excellent friend of the Courier g EhQut-
7er oycrwhelms US with his kindness. In the first
place. he has always iorborne, until yesterday, to
reprove our hcnous iniquisy in maintaining that
the destitute Poor should be allowed some chance
to earn their own bread; and next when lie IS
impelIed by his stern sense OF Duty to take us IN
hand for our proposition that the City should
snend HUFF Mllioz in constructing and pro-
vidine the means Of enabling the Poor OF our CITY
to earn their own livelihood, he only magnlfies
the amount to Fiue MitkonScf Dollars, and again
.t Fine or Sir Millions" Such leniency as this
to an crring brother is hardly compatible with
stern Justice and the characteristic motto, Prin-
cip,es, Not Men, TO be sure, it mig ht be urged
that since our City is about to establish WORK
house of some kind, and as the present accom-
niodations and facilities Of her Aims House are
o}arnpy insufficient, it could cost more to add
TO them in the manner proposed by The Tribune
than in the Old way which has already proved a
failure 50 lar as any positive good is regarded
The sqstem of Organizing Labor we would pro-
pose may prove failure, bat that costs nothing )
while the lands, buildings, implements, &c. re-
quired, would be all requisite and worth their cost
even to so or with in thcod way But tins con-
sideration escaped even The keen dscernment OF
our friend OF the Courier, anxious as he was to
find some circumstance mitigating or palhatinG
our hallucnation
But our friend is obliged after ali, to brandlsh
the rod, though he merctuliy iorbears It's appllca-
ton. He closes his demolition Of our articles on
Houses of Industry in a tone of mild earnest
ness truly affecting. Hear: .--.-

columns At all events, he should abandon until after

the Wing ia that We speak the opinion
of his best friends when we say that 0uers has very
materially injared his usefulness to the Wing cause and
WILL not excluded from his columns ultimately lose
HIM his position In cur ranks"
Bear Colonel! you fattcr us unreasonably.-
The Wing party cannot be held responsible
ter OF its E.ditors-if it were, Heaven help it =
1t should take the benefit Of some Bankrupt Law
at once, and could not pay five cents on the dol
lar. The Wing party as such, has nothing
whatever to do with Fourierism, Grahamism Pu-
seyism, or any purely Religious, Social or Physi-
illogical question. We shall venture to urge ,
whatever measures we consider calculated to pro-
mote the practical well-heing Of Mankind, even
though doomed to receive therefor the grave re-
buke' of our folly and monouanla at your
hands. Your opinion as to what should be ex-
cluded from our columns will be in ample season
when it Is asked for. As to our rendering our.
self useful to the Wing Cause by abandoning
the wretched to their hopeless misery till after
the Presidential Election, we can't see the matter
in that light. An individual opinion on topic
wholly apart from politics will not be apt to make
or mar many votes for President To be sure,
our persistence IN urging the necessity of some
better and more systematic provision for feedlrp
the hungry and clothing the naked may deprive
US of the character of Editor of "a popular Wing
Journal and this is doubtless the source Of orr
friends painful anxiety. But let him no, take
the matter much to heart-it is of far less con.
sequence than he imagines. Suppose our paper
cease to be popular and useful by reason OF
our 'vagaries has not the Wing party still It's
Courier q Enquirer? And has not that concern
just reduced the price OF its Weekly one-half, so
as to relieve the wants ofsshose who may be re.
