Moro Changes-Thc SANDERS of Loco-FO-
coism on Laborers.
We often wonder how the workmen in manu-.
factories manage to endure so tamely the insults
so constantly heaped upon them by the Loco'Fo-
co press. They are frequently represented in thai
press as mere serls, compelled to vote as then
employers order them, and subsisting by Their
degradation. Now there have doubtless been in
stances in which employers have cndeavorcd Il
constrain or exert improper influence over thos'
working for them, but these are rare, while ouI
Federal and State Executives habltually ano

the very thing which the employers are accuSec
of; and our grog shop demagogues continually
get ten workmen to vote against their own inter

ers, where one votes the other way from either
love or fear of them. And it is a ieplorable fact
that over half the workmcn i'll manufactures
have usually voted with the party whose success
is their own greatest calamity. There are Va
rious reasons for this. First, among them tn,
relation of Employer and Workman, under our
vicious system Of Wages, is apparently antagons
tic-the apparent, immediate interest of the one
being to getmore work for less wages, OF the other
to get more wages for less work. The unrefect.
ing laborcr does not see that whatever increases
work, and renders it more stable and prosperous,
increases his chance of better wages and ensures
him steadier employment. 1t is where many
want work and few workmen arc wanted thai
wages decline and laborcrs become DEPENDENT

But many of our workmen arc taught in The grog-

our workmen in factories, forges, &c. are English
Radicals, who have been led TO attribute the de-

Protection, and who never ask nor think whether
the circumstances and the essence of the thing

their own wages to the European Standard
