"PgB. DOC.o AGAIN.

In the course of our criticisms upon the grow
ing evil and waste known as Pub. Doc, We
neglected to do Mr.. Latin, the Chairman of the
House Committee on Printing, the justice which
we are always glad to bestow on worthy public
servant. So far as LES in his power as l member
of the Committee controlling the Public Printing,
he has used every effort to cut down printing
expenses. When some enthusiastic friend OF
Gen. Grant proposed to print 100000 copies oil
the Generals report, Mr.. Latin quietly reduced
1t to 10000. We venture to say that no one has
been in ignorance of the doings OF our Com
mander by reason Of the reduction. His report
had been printed in the newspapers, and was
familiar to all men. The report of Gen. Schurz
was cut down to $4,000 copies which number,
considering the fact that Tng TRIBUNE alone laid
that admirable document before million read
ers. was all-sunicient. A proposition to print
the record of IN astronomical expedition TO Chill,
a work of great expense by reason of the maps
and Autographs, has been postponed until mate
rials are cheaper. If We do not see the stars Oi
Chill for the next ten years we shall not COM
plain. The Post-O Ohice Reports have been reduced
from 30 900 copies to 10000, while the Report OF
the Secretary of the Treasury has been reduced
to 900 copies.
We presume we owe as much to Mr.. Latln
for these reforms as TO any member OF Congress
While he has the knife in hand let him cut
deep. We do not save so much expense by
cutting down the number Of copies a by not
publishing the book. When a book is N type
the printing is u secondary expense. Then we
have the Government advertising. This is a
dreadful abuse. Mr.. Latin should offer rcSo-
luton. directing the heads of each Department
to report how much has been paid to the differ
ent newspapers in Washington for public adyer.
tising. II will be found we think that we
have beggars who are not on the pension list,
and that feeble editors, without influence, circu-
lation or character, are supported in this way.
Government must do business. Let 1t be
done in a business way. Books must be printed.
Print only the books that are necessary. Adj
yertisoments must go into newspapers. Select
those of large circulation. But stop this source
of decentralization, torrupting and cnervating
the press, paying editors to do the work OF

makes a double mistake. The journals bought
are not worth the purchase money and Its ad-
yertisemcntS are never read.

the Union Whites.
II is unmaaly. il is indecent not to give the
Freedmen fair play. They are watched with
sharp eyes; and every individual excess is set
down to the discrcdit Of the whole class. No
race could stand for a moment against such
bur!cSq1e of criticism as this is. dozen Blacks
cannot get drunk and break the peace in Louls-
lana, but the petty atfas is telegraphed all oyer
the country, with such a twist as some telegraph
ever is said of the millions just emsncpatcJ
who are demeaning themselves creditably,
struggling with want, resisting temptation, for
getting old Injuries, anxious for work, proyihe
for the opportunities of industry trying to keep
together their families, and all the while made
the objects of suspicion, of fraud, and oil stony
hearted cruelty. They are argued over, they
are talked about, their smallest foibcs are dl'
cussed they are to be sent here, they are to be
sent there, this gentleman is for doing this With
them, aud the other gentleman is for doing that
and still they remain quiet, industrious, pa
tient and peaceabc' II will be shame to Us il
we cannot find place for race so simple, aiiec-
tionate and vel l-disposed.
Providence certainly did not design North
America for White Men to play the devil i'll

Providence bring over here from Africa four
millions of BlacliS-or rather the ancestors OF

navigation by carrying them all back again.
They must stay here, or, like the Indians, they
must be exterminated. A due consideration o,
this fact mag save an endless amount OF speech
manufacturing aud of speech-making. The
problem is not how to get rid of Blacks, but
how to keep them without violating the laws Of
God and without utterly wasting the resource
Of their labor. And We are among those who

BRITISH AND AMERICAN IRON
WOuKMEN's WAGES.

The cost of Iron in dollars and cents depends
upon the wages paid for the labor which pro-

The question of the protection OF American
Industry. which the sclfshnesS OF British capt
talists and merchants, and the peridy OF the
American tools whom they have hired to advo-
cate Free Trade, have again thrust upon our
legislation and our politics, surely should be IN
stantly decided, so far aS Iron is concerned, by
this simple exhibit of figures.
There are $50 Of wages i'll every tun ol

for the wages of labor represents district-school

A WHITE nIAN,s GOVERNMENT.

There is theory aired sometimes III Congress,
sometimes in theological seminaries, and some
times in gin-mills, that Providence designed this
country exclusively for White Men. How three
or four millions of Black men got here, and seem
likely 20 remain here in spite of the five hund-
red annually sent to Africa by the Colonization
Society. the admirers and champions of Divine
Providence do not condescend to explain to us.
II strikes Us that the best proof OF this proyIden-
tial propositon would be found in the deccucy,
good behavior, honesty and elevation Of the
favored class; but taking those who are con-
vencns for comparison, because they are side by
side, which behave the best politically and So
cially, the Whites or the Blacks! There are
none of tho latter in Congress--it is pure White,
theoretically at least-yet We do not find Goa

IOWA FARMERS 1uTOHsaN
WHEAT FROM ENGLAND!

Iowa wheat grower do realize the irightiu'
waste and marvellous folly of your trade with
England. You send grain 10 a market a'd"o
miles of, taxed from point to point along the
whole line with railroad freight, wareh0'se
charges, propeller freight, insurance, elevator
charges, canal tolls, brokers' commissions, ship
ment over the ocean, and the successive charges
in England of getting your property to the
mouths of the spinners and weayerS, whom it Is
your joy to feed. What pay do you get' Back
comes to you cloth, loaded at every step OF its
journey to Iowa with the same exactons and
|expenseS that fed upon your wheat outward
bound. 1t reaches your farm. What is that
cloth? Why, it is your wheat, the self-same
wheat you sent away-or it is an equal amount
of French, Russian or Belgian wheat. What
then have you done! You, farmer, have
actually imported grain over a costly crcla OF
transportation $500 miles long. For every
yard of cloth, every package of hardware, every
bar of iron imported from England, represents
English wheat by cultivation or purchase,
quintupled in value by manufacturing processes.
Friends in Iowa, you can't stand this unequal
swap of raw food for manufactured food with
the British, even in tho years of their worS,
harvests. In the fruitful years, when they don't
want your wheat, but demand gold OF you Tor
the cloth, iron and hardware their Free Trade
lying and coaxing has got you into the habit Of
buying, the Liverpool market is the grave oi
your prosperity. Be Ipersuaded to establish
manufactures il your neighborhood. II you
can't do this Immediately, stick TO it and work
at il as the principle Of your salvation. EStab-
lish them as near to you as you can. Uphold
them wherever established on your country
SOIL Demand of your Government to give you
permanent American Home Market. Order
your Congressmen to insist that the policy o
the country shall be so shaped that this market
shall not only always be open to you, bu'
shall, by the law Of industrial Development
be moved nearer ana nearer to your farms
every year. British Free Trade is expressly de
signed to ensaye you to British manufactures

Union. We claim that the South was never
heartily Rebel--that it only seemed so because
the ari5tocratic caste so used their monopoly of
power as to crush out or stiflc the Union senti-
ment that nevertheless existed, and thus plunge
the country into a sangunary and destructive
war; for which there was never any need nor
any reason. And now we ask to be secured
against recurrence of this dcSoating horror
by a universal recognition of the prin-
ciple so terscly embodied in the maxim,
No tardi,oa ui'hOm representation. EStab-
liSh honestly and fairly the rule that all
men who possess the requisite intellectual
and moral qualifications shall thereupon he rec

restoration will forthwith be complete. Say, If
you choose, that a man must read, or read and
write, before he can vote; say that he must have
paid tax, or even that he must be the owner
Of real property-and we are content, so long as
YOU inerpOSe no barriers 10 the acquisition OF
whatever you require, even though its instant
effect should be an exclusion of nincty-nine OF
every hundred Blacks from the electoral body.
Give them a fair chance, and if the great
mass prove yagrants idlerS and prodl-
gals we are content that they he, for that
reason, debarTed from voting. But restora-
ton based on Caste-On the principle that only
Whites are fit to be intrusted with power
that Representation shall be arbitrarily dI-
vorced from Taxation-will give us no genuine
lasting peace, but new and ever recurring
feuds and contentious. The "irrepresSble
conflict" between Democracy and AriStocracy
the Rights of Man and the privileges OF Color
cannot be iuggled nor mesmerzed into any
other than superficial, momcntary, fallaclous
truce. In rebuilding our National ediicc, the

basis less ample than that of All Rights for
