Pampering Capital and Starving
Labor.

The Baltimore Gazette, in an article re-
specting the tariff protection interest, which
is now so largely represented at Washing
ton by influential delegations that are seek
ing 10 prevail upon Congress to increase
the duties on imports, and thus heap Pelion
upon Ossa. says
1t has been well said by some one--we
forget who--that it is not protection to
American industry these manufac .urers
are eager for. but protection to American
capital such protection As shall enable
wealthy corporations to divide enormous
profits among few thousand stockholders,
at the expense of millions of consum-
crs. How can labor be protected by
excessive duties when that very
excess breaks down the demand for
the article fabricatedg The wooden mills
at the East are closed. Why? Because the
cheaper foreign woolens having been eN-
cluded. the price of those of domestic man
ufacture was so largely increased to the
consumer that he could not purchase as
freely as he was formerly accustomed to do.
When the mills were closed the operatives
were thrown out of work, and this is what
| is called atlording protection to American
Industry Had the manufacturers been
content with small profits they might have
kept their mills running. But they We're
| not so content. tOf Il year or TWO Jlley
have been making an annual profit Of
! thirty, forty, fifty and in some instances,
of one hundred per cent, and now that by
their greed they have choked off the demand,
and fad their goods lying on their hands,
they ask for higher protective duties to ena-
BILE them to get rid of their surplus stock. OF
course. If they close their mills and wait
until the country becomes entirely bare of
goods, they can realize whatever price
they demand. But in the meantime, what
becomes of the operatives in whose behalf
| it is assumed these protective duties were
| Imposed? They can not work in the mills
for the mills are idle. They must either,
therefore, turn their attention to some
other species of labor or starve. The pro-
lection, so far as they are concerned, Is
worse than farce.
| Our whole system of levying duties is
radically wrong. Articles of luxury will
bear heavy duties, because those who will
have them at any price can best afford to
do so. But articles that are of universal
requirement; aNicles that enter into the
consumption OF the humbleSt household.
should either be entirely free of duty. or
the tariff should bc as light rs it is possible
| to make it. We are not a manufacturing
but Il producing people. Our manufactur-
erS, rs compared with our producers, are as
n few hundred thousand to millions. The
more we seek to build up manufacturing
corporations by high protective duties, the
more injury we infict upon the great bulk
| of the people, whose purses and whose
pockets are drained that the wealthy stock
holders in mills and factories may revel in
enormous dividends.

The Senatorial Auction.

While the caucusing was going on at
Harrisburg for the L. 5. Senate, which
eliminated in CAMERON purchasing nearly
the entire gang of Radicals. there was an
excited crowd out in the rOtunda of the
Capitol who made anything but n refined
demonstration of their Indignation. One
chap made a stump speech, which was thus
reported in the IRteligeHcer;
Bring me bell! | say, somebody
bring me a bell. There is an auction going
on here, and intend to cry IL. The Re-
publican party PROCESSES TO be a party of
great moral ideas, and boasts that it has
stopped the sale of negroes, but here is n
sale of white men going on in the Capitol
of the keystone State. Somebody bring
me a bell! Talk about Republicanism,
and love for soldiers, and patriotism! Why
such party deserves to be damned. The
men it sends TO the Legislature are only
| fit for the basest uses. Yet they are the
pick of three hundred thousand. Bah !
The worst things the Copper
heads ever said are not half bad
enough. These scoundrels profess to be
voting for Cameron. 1t is Il lie. | will
show you the ticket they are voting. Here
quilting greenback out of his pocket and
holding it up) here is the ticket they are
all voting-and the candidates name is
written on it-SptaRer-by Cd. That's
the fellow they are all voting for, and this
(hourishing the greenback) is their ticket"
He held forth for some time, amid the
forced laughter Of the crowd, no one daring
TO contradict him, or to say one word in
favor of CAMERON.
Later in the night, after the caucus, a
number of excited Philadelphians mot OF
the Winnebago tribe) went into the Mar
ket House and auctioned off the Philadel-
phia Representatives who voted for
CAMERON. Decency forbds mention of the
bids offered and the consideration for which
they were knocked down. The mitigation
of the crowd was intense, and nothing was
left undone to exhibit the contempt felt for
those who 1t was believed had sold them
selves to the successful candidate.
