Capital may threaten to button his pocket, and
close his manufactures, if men are not willing 10
comply with his unjust demands. This may do to
fill those papers whose columns are ruled by capl-
tai; but men in general understand the relatlohs
between capital and labor as well as the stock
iobbers who have risen on libertys ruins" to the
position of Editors. Does capital open his pockets
to feed the poor? Does capital open his foundries
to accommodate his workmen? Does capital build
his railroads to &c annihilate distance and conquer
time"? Phlanthrophc capital! Christian capital !!
self-sacrifcing capital Did not capital erect
his marble palaces by coming his millions out of
the sweat of labor the poor might starve for bread,
and time and distance" take their ease, on the old
stage coach, for all eternity.
Let capitalists shut up their pockets and their
hops, and better men will take their places
while there is market, there will be goats to
sell" While there is money to be made, Capital
will invest Notwithstanding the fact that he can't
build his railroads on the bones Of men. Capital is
thing of gold; heartless and selfish, and does
nothing the principle Of o63igimg labor
1t is sickening, at this hour Of the 9th century,
to see some wbrowed, thick sculled tyrant whom
chance, or fraud has placed above his betters, fling
few dollars which he is pleased enough to call
hire to the hard-working father of family, like
you would fling bones to dog. Why it is COM
plment to wear out your existence in his service;
and you should stand in respectful humility while
receiving all favors from his hand.
Let the workingmen unite, and array their forces,
and never attack until they are fully prepared and
their enemy can be taken in the rear. Premature
Il Al al,
The noisy and the riotous are doing the work OF
the enemy. The loud-mouthed braggart is sure to
betray when put to the proper test. Stand by the
men, or party, that stand by you. Have no con-
nexion, or intercourse, with your enemies. You
can control the country by the ballot. This is your
great lever Above all things show the business
of your cause, by your actions as citizens. Let
there be no violence, and no violation Of law In
free country, such Anaerico as ye each citizen
feels himself personally responsible for the order of
the community. Men who laugh at the idea OF
eight hours being fair days work will live to see
it reduced to six and find the world improved
thereby.
The difference between Monarchies and Repub-
lies is not merely that the head of oneis King and
of the other President. A Republic should be the
greatest good to the greatest number, Monarchy
is the fleeing of the many to clothe the few. It's
better that people should occupy the middle
ground of prosperity, than that small number
should be elevated to the Skies and the rest crushed
into the dust.
We publish below the message of love from the
workmen of Berlin to those of Paris. We think
that after careful reading, it will be seen that the
objections offered by the men of Paris and Berlin
to cutting each others throats had more to do with
the peace of Europe than the kings are willing to
allow.
