Common Sc.nse.

We most cordially adopt and ap-
prove the following excellent suggcs-
tion of the Republic, loyal paper
published at Richmond. Let the
press of tho country initiate tho ex-
ample of the soldiers who have met
each OTHER in the deadly strife, bury
the hatchet, and labor together for
the common good, for the country's
good and for peace. The RepuLAc
says:
It would be q piece of excellent
common sense in the press of both
North and South to abstain from the
abuse and vituperation which each is
SO industrious in employing against
the other. When the soldiers have
laid aside their weapons, the civilians
can afford to hold their tongues. The
extremists of the North, it is true,
can scold and denounce with impu-
nifty. But is it magnanimous, is it
generous, is it just thus to beratc q
fnllen foe? On the other hand, the
Journals of the South cannot indulge
I'D the language of cxccration and
contempt, with either propricty OF
prudence. We have vast interests at
stake, which counsel calmness and
moderation. It is very easy, and
perhaps may be very agreeable for
men who have at their command a
little ink and paper, to put in print
the most irritating sarcasms, and the
most insulting epithets, but is it not
we'll enough to remember that those
whom we are goading after this
fashion, are able to crush US? 1t
may be very valiant, for aught we
know, to be very abusive, but ought
1t not to be borne in mind that the
people thus denounced, hold the
principal men of the South as host
ages in their hands, and can retaliate
for angry words by terrible deeds?
lnd1scrlminate abuse of the North is
as UNJUST as it is unwise. They have
been as honest and patriotic in their
support of tho Government as we
have been to our resistance to it's
authority. In courage, constancy
md generosity, the great mass of
them have proved themselves entitled
to the respect of their bitterest foes.
There is neither reason, fairness nor
safety In these newspaper diatribes
against the dominant majority of the
country.

Labor for the south

The New Orleans Picayu,ae, OF the
| 18th, learns shat the German imm;-
grants, about 100 in number, who
recently arrived there from Now York.
In search of agricultural employment,
have made favorable engagements
with planter in Tenms Parish, and
have proceeded to their new homes.
We understand that, according to
their contracts, their wages for the
first year are to be $3.50, in addition
to which they are to be supplied with
food, medicines and medical attend
ancc, comfortable quarters and blan-
hets. Their clothing and other wants
they are to supply themselves. For
tho second year, instead of specific
wages, they are to have an interest in
the crop, their shares bc apportioned
to them according to tho ascertained
value Of their services. This, wo
believe, is the limit of the contract.
Both tho planter and the laborcrs
hope that at the end Of the second
year the latter will have saved enough
from their wages and their interest in
the crop to stock small leasehold
farms on their own account. From
tho industrious and t4,rifty habits of
these people, we have but little doubt
that these hopes viii be realized,
unless they should be frustrated by
sickness. The locality, however is
healthy, an; the prospects auspi-
cious."
One of the conditions annexed to
these contracts is, that no negroes
are to be employed on the plantation.
We doubt the propriety of such mca-
surcs. Our freed labor, when it gets
fairly to work, ou, to have an equal
chance with the imported article.
The plodding, industrious German,
is one Of the best among agricultural
laborers, and will be of vast advan-
tage in the recuperatian Of the South,
but we cannot afford to ignore that
labor which has hitherto contributed
to her past prosperity. AS we said
yesterday, if the radicals would cease
those agitations, which encourage
idlencss III the former slaves of the
Southern States, we believe they
would do their part in rc-developing
their resources.

Free Trade and Protecsion-Thc
HumbUEs Of the Day.

The Tribune and the Post are
making great fuss about the ques-
tlons of FREQ trade and protection,
devoting their columns to lengthy
articles and abstrusc arguments on
both sides of the subject. These Rip
Van Winklc journalists do not seem
to understand that the free trade idea
is thing of the past; that the war
has put it altogether out of sight.
This country is bound to become the
greatest manufacturing country in
the world This fact will be estab-
hshed, if by nothing else, by the very
existence OF the immense water power
in the Southern States, especially i'm
Virginia and the Carolinas, where the
cotton fields are ut the door of tho
manufactures. Every bale of cotton
raised here will before long he manu-
factured into fabrics in this country.
1t will not t;lk kc many years to accom-
plish this, and then the provcrbial
manufacturing power of England
will vanish very quickly, and with
that powcrall her greatness as COM
mercial nation must decline AS far
us the question Of high tariff and pro-
lection is concerned, we know very
well that all we ever required from it
was merely to be viewed rs means
OF revenue for the support of the
Government. Trade regulates itself
upon the principles of the universal
law Of supply and demand. We have
absolute command of the most i'm
i'ortailt staple iii the mr ufact,.rc Of
goods Indispensable t. the whole
world namely, cotton fabrics The
experiments which have been tried
during the war-wi.en the cxporta-
ton of American cotton was cut off
from Europe-in raising that article
in India, Egypt, and every other
place supposed to be available for its
culture, have proved failures. That
the Southern States Of this Continent
are to be solely relied upon for the
production Of cotton is therefore cs-
tabllshcd; and just as surely as this
fact is true, so also will the manufac-
turing capacities of the South be cs-
tablished under the happy recon-
struction system which the President
IS working out. The resources of the
Southern States in mineral wealth are
almost unlimited. There are few
countries i'll the world that c.n COM
pete with them in this respect, and
we expect to SEQ them developed by
the impetus which industry is rccciv-
ing in that section Discussions
about free trade and protection, then,
in view of all these facts, arc more
twaddlc, and such philosophers as
Carey and Bryant and Greeley and
the rest Of them arc only cndcavor-
ing to resuscitatc 4 corpse by agitat-
ing tho cfietc idea.

The demand Of the American rail
roads for steel rails, ties, axlcs and
crossings, and other similar materials,
is increasing rapidly, and steel for
this purpose is now considered a ne
cessity by our first engineers. The
steel, it is found, wears twenty times
as long as the iron rail, while the ties
and axles far exceed iron in strength
and durability, and, most important
OF all, in safety. The Pennsylvania
Railroad has contracted for 1000 ton
OF steel rails, and the Philadelphia,
Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad
for 10000 tons. The primo cost of
steel rail is about so per cent. above
the cost of iron rail. It is the pur-
pose of the CON- .anies mentioned to
substitute steel rails for the iron ones
now in use on the sections of their re-
spective roads requiring repairs.
They have determined never to relay
their roads with iron rails.
