The Industrial Congress.

which was foreign to the objects of the indus
trial Congress, need not be brought against the
land reform movement, or thrown out against the
interest of the industrial classes, which that
movement is more particularly designed to bene-
| fit.
The resolutions presented by the chairman of
the business committee cover all the ground that
the industrial congress was organized to claim
and defend
! There is no doubt but that there are men who
have foisted themselves into this movement
with the sole design of using this machinery to
grind their axes with-men who have no sympa-
+ thy and never had, with one of the .oiling mil
lions, whose aid and suffrage, he only covets for
sinister or selfish purposes. 1t is time this was
generally and better understood-when it is I'M
derstood, the land reform measures will not be
so unpopular, (not to say odous) as they are
at the preeenttime. The gauze disguise which
is thrown over the actions of one class of these
pretended land reformers is too thin to form any
protection from the gaze of shrewd outsiders
/ The notices of the industrial congress as set
forth in the last resolution are the expression of
but few of the active members among the nois-
est of the land reformers, if we know any thing
about them. And yet all there is of value to the
particular organization is contained in them.
Land Reform, Labors rights, and universal suf.

garded.
No party claiming to be democratic even, with
a spark ofintelligence can long resist the power
of this truth. That, the monopoly of the soil is
the origin Of servitude every thinking man is
ready to admit. And that the limit to this mono
! poly will be the end of human slavery is also
clear; but to assert that human slavery is right,
because land is monopolised is ridiculous and
absurd.
The democratic party if faithful to its trusts
is more than sufficient tor the accomplishment
of all that the land reformers ask. The demo-
cratic party when faithful to the end for which it
is established will abolish al human slavery
The democratic party is competent with prop
er Interpretation of its creed to guarantee and to
secure to all men proper equivalent for their
services, well as to limi. the hours of toll for
a day work, which it in some states has already
done. The democratic principle is competent
when carried out, to break down all distinctions
among men which are not necessarily nwroucht

abolished. The rights of labor will be as much
respected as bales of Cotton or yards of Broad
cloth in the hands of capitalists
! 1t will not be for the interest of any man to
monopolze any more land than he can cultivate,
and a limit will thus be set to the amount ofland
any man should own, and every individual who
has hands to work with and mouth to fill shall
have right to say who shall fill the offices of

We think it is called the Commercial Advertiser
The last we knew any thing about it, it was devo-

The only subscriber we know of his getting, was
the venerable pathmaster in ward l. We I'M

for the support of a grinder nearer home.
