Dor is assaied by the Editor OF the Demoerauc
Review. the most stately oracle OF the POLK party
We ask the reader who has time to read the above
IN co,rec,ion with our few remarks to which il re-
sponds and see on what foundation the News rep
resents Ms as saying that The Tribune woufd teed
sailors on ten cents day. and settling "the deserts
of searocn az well az other work people &c &c
Ia there one man who understood us, when we as
serted that the actual cost of seamcns board IN ser
vice is not over $40 per year TO express the op'h
ion that this is all their deserts that re would
feed them on such a sum ? Did not every one I'M
derstand us as speaking of what practically IS the
food of seamen and not of what in our judgment ii
ought 10 be-
Now look at another point. The males, boys and
men, skilful and unskillcd, employed in the Merri
mac factories each receive an average OF eighty cents
nor dav or over 500 a month for the whole year
round and for years in succession, sheltered from
the inclemency of the elements, and very rarely
losing day for any cause but his own pleasure
The sailor is said by the News TO receive el2 per
month bu, he has work for few weeks or months
or bardship and peril and then is thrown on, to IND
om,lovmcnt again " hen and where he can Now
if the seaman who thus earns Sig dollars mohth
semi occasionally may be supposed to support a lam
ilv of five persons why should a similar presumption
in favor of the factory laborer be deemed SO exrava
cant AZ to subject it to the mcrciess irony OF the
News
True in point of fact each factory laborer does
not support family of five persons Tor often the
c,her with three or four sons and daughters all work
in !, earning an aggregate of 500 or over per week
and leaving at home only the mother and younger
children to be supported from the proceeds oil 'heir
labors. Does this fact make against the cause OF
Protection Does it invalidatc our argument we
simply urged that if every person employed III
Commerce was to be counted as supporting four
others ON the fruits of his industry then some ailo"
ascc should be made for the families OF ihose en-
ployed in Manufactures.
A. tn every laborer on our docks getting 81 per
dav. il mus, be taken with two very large aba'e'
,ocnts: first, for the days when he can get no WORK
secondly, for the days when no work can be do"e'
Eyon IL he could get 81 here every week dav II
49,. 49,. -. C,,ua 10 cents in an, inland village
TO saw nothing of the comparative ease and comfort
Of working on docks and in factories.
That factories divide 30 per cent" as usual
thing. or any thing like il is nsinuated falsehood
Of very shabby kind Possibly one in a hundred
makes large dividend this the News publishes :
bu, the scores which make little or nothing II never
alludcs TO- We are sufficiently acquainted with
both branches of business to state with absolute
confidence that for the period that the present Ia
riff has been in operation, the profits Of Navigation
hare bce. greatcr an tie acreage than those Of
Manufactures. while the net earnings Tor savings
of the aborers employed in Manufactures have been
proportisnay the greater. We shall gladly coop
crate with the News in making up complete and
authentic exhibit of the profits realized from ships
and steamboats, on the one hand and from Factories
on the other during the last three years Is it a
bargain
Let it be understood that we are no less earnestly
favorable to Commerce than TO Manufactures. Nc
other interest has ever been half thoroughly pro
tected by our laws the shipping and Ship-build
inc interests Our ship builders have steadily en-
loved an absolute protection No foreign-buit ship
can bc imported and sold here TO engage in oui
American trade at whatever rate of duty. Our ship
carpenters consequently receive treble the wages o
j tnpSt OF Tue tldll-t lpWHs, Whtlt
be built far below American prices. Yet we be
lieve the general effect Of this of all other ELI
cicnt Protection has been TO give cheaper wei
as far better ships than We would have had under
Free Trade in shipping
Neither are we intending TO express any opinion
as TO the equity and suaiciency of the wages pai'
10 sailors s,cvcdorcs &c as 10 the profits OF mel
engaged in Commerce. The business of the worl'
is transacted ON the plan Of buying cheap, selin!
dear and making much as you can. We hole
no one responsible for this do we see fit to ho'
any one up to public rcprobs,ion on account Of i,
bu, we consider the whole system wrong, and hop,
to see ii replaced by a better.
| The News considers securing the products o
two days labor in Europe for that of one day here
the way TO National prosperity. We differ radi
cally on this point If another nation produce
spontaneously or easily something which we nee'
We, canno, produce exccp, with difficulty and ia
greater expenditure of Labor we are In favor o
exchanging for that article any one which we car
nroducc with Ike facility and that nation cannot
