yewsuaper Humbugs.

Newspapers, like everything else. have
their humbues but of oil humbugs Of
this class, the greatest imposisions are
those protesting to be devoted especially
to the interests of the lsboring classes.
We have seen many Of these. and have
vet to see the first one that did not ad-
vocate doctrines oppressive to the work
ing classes. and finslly end their misers-
bic existence as organs Of the ultra Dem
ocratic party. Such is evidently their
origiael design. By protesting great in
tersst in working men. they ingratiate
themselves into the favor of that class.
and then undertake to lead them gradu-
ally into the Democratic party.
We have never known one of these
papers that was not opposed to a proteo-
tive tariff. which, IS . means of fostering
home enterprise and manufactures, makes
employment for the laborins man. We
have never known ono Of them that did
not advocate an exclusively hard money
currency, and other measures having .
tendency to bring American labor down
to the standard Of European psuper Ia.
Dor. We never knew one that did not
abuse the manufacturing aristocracy Of
New England, and capitalists in general;
yet without these, what would become Of
tens of thousands Of lsborers? We ne
yer knew one that did not uphold and
defend the Southern aristocracy and the
system of slsvsholding-s system which
permitted men to oun their lsborers
and which was most degrading to white
working men, by bringing them into
competition with chattsl labor-practi'
cally the same as OK and mule labor.
Finally, we have never known one oi
these papers that did not improve every
opportunity to insult the free laborers ol
the North. by contrasting their condition
unfavorably with that Of the Southern
slaves.
A paper recently started in New York,
called "The People," which processes
great interest in the laboring classes. is q
stupendous humbus Of the character spo.
ken Of above. We advise the public to
keep hands off. After feeding its readers
on trash and falsehood for q season, il
will probably collapse, leaving its pat.
rons minus the balance of their subscrip.
tion money. Having had its say against
tariffs and other measures for the protec-
ton of American labor: having endesv.
ored to prove that the abolition of slave.
~ was a curse, and that the negro IL
sighing to return to bondage-it has &.
uslly gone into the business of apologize.
ing for Southern riots, and glorifying
Andrew johnson and his "policy."
The last numbers contain but little else
besides praise of johnson and his Phila.
delphia show. Let loyal laboring men
spurn the unclsan thing.
