Albany. Members undertook to array proofs
of misconduct and inefficiency against the Po-

like Balaam's, turned to blessings; for they
tried to read charges against 1t, and happened
instead ONLY upon eulOgies

The new light cast upon the propositions
concerning Hayti in our dispatches this morn

that we can have that island whenever we

that we are no longer called upon to pay for
land in the West Indies. We are more likely
to be paid for taking it,

Comments By The Tribune.

We do not think it necessary to say any
thing about the completely of this journal with
those who are interested in defeating the
administration of the Revenue service Our
habitual readers can need nothing On this head,
and those of Tie Times would not see aught
that we might see fit to say. We simply call
attention to the fact that this is The IimeS'S
style of controversy which it has many times
illustrated.
Mr.. Commissioner Wells has seen fit, in an
elaborate official report, to assail the policy of
Protection. He asserts that the rich in this
country are becoming richer and the poor
poorer; and this he attributes to the present
Tariff. But Great Britain long since
adopted the policy of (so-called) Free
Trade; and writer in The Times Oondon)
lately asserted that her rich are growing richer
and her poor pOorer-and such we presume to
be the fact. Indeed, how could it be otherwise7
Certain persons habitually save and accumulate
property; others do not: must not the dispar-
ity in the circumstances of these two classes
perpetually increase, like the distance between
a stationary body and one moving away from
it'll We see not how this tendency is to be
counteracted, except by taking property from
those who have, and giving it to those who
have not.
But The TRIBUNE has insisted, in opposition
to Mr.. Wells, that the Working Glasses are
not less fairly rewarded for their labor than
they they were ten or twenty years ago. We
nave not merely asserted this; we have given
the facts and figures by which we prove it.
We saythat genuine worker, male or female,
is better paid, in the average, now than for
merly-better than when we came to this City,
over thirty-seven years ago, and began to
set type for twenty-five cents per thou
sand or eight dollars per week. We say that
a good compostor can save more money now
than he could then; and it is the same in other
tradeShnd callings. Who heard or dreamed,
thirty years ago, of men standing out for q re-
duction of their hours of labor to eight per
dayP Who then imagined that mechanic
could earn the living of his family in that
timef Yet now many insist on working no
longer. We cite this to prove that the Labor
