Parties in tho future te,Divido ON the
Labor QuedtIoii.,

The New. Orleans 1fnaes aays: =,
HORACE Greeley bolts the radical track
In opposing Chinese labor, and says it Is
too late now to raise the CRY Of "Ameri-
ca for Americans" after go bitterly de-
nouncing it only onea year ago. he
admits that the labor Question is des.
tined to absorb all other political ques-
tions ore long, and acknowledges that it
has only been held in abeyance until
now by our vast expanse of unoccupied
land open to the publfo. All this is very
satisfactory, as showing That Mr. Gree
ley is alive to the progress of events, and
the futility of opposing manifest destiny
with frail theories His plan for avert
ing the contest is not, however, n happy
one. With that strong conservative
tendency which always comes over him
in difficulty, lie instinctively turns to
compromise, and suggests the organiza-
ton of workmen into cooperative socie.
ties. Apart from the utter impractica-
Eility of this remedy, it would not prove
q successful one after nll. It would be
absurd to expect from capitalists their
cooperation in system of labor which
would double their present expenses,
when they have at their very doors the
opportunity of decreasing them fifty per
cent. Besides, MIR. Greeley forgets the
tendency of the public to buy in the
cheapest market; and what could sustain
the cooperative system of manufactures,
evon if established, in face of the posi-
bllty OF any workmen, Mt any moment,
seeding, and, by availing himself of
Chinese labor. nuderselling the co-ope-
ratlve institutions at ruinous rates? In-
deed, Mr.. Greeley feels this himself,
n mr. a nraIx ff,r
to gain time.
The truth is, the labor contest is one
that cannot be either avoided or, under
any circumstances, compromised. For
ten years the price of labor hns been
steadily rising, and now our whole CON-
mercial system rests on hugely inflated
basis. High tariffs and high taxes have
served to sustain it so far, but only at
the expenses Of exciting cupidity abroad,
and starting al influx Of labor from the
/ West and East, destined to sweep away
its fundamental support. The exclusive
policy of Japan and China in shutting off
all relations with tho outside world,
which is, after NIL, the ultimate end of
the protective doctrine, is the only thing
able to avert the conflict.
We may, therefore, prepare to find the
relations between labor and capital para
mount in all future political contests, tho
remnants of the old radical party striving
to patch up their sinking bont by all
kinds of compromises. On the contrary,
the Democratic party embraces what may
be called the revolutionary element of
the country, always large one, ready at
all times for change and new political ex-
periments. This will declare III favor OF
free labor and FREQ trade, and in the COM
ing contest both of the great political
parties of the day will find their graves

purposes which are now universally con,
demned as wasteful, immoral, unjust
and utterly illusory. IS
This parversion of the tariff fromi its
original purpose of raising levenpo was
based upon the erroneous belief that
competition was injurious to industry;
that certain Industries were entitled to
be protected by government against the
supposed injurious competition of SINH
lar industries in foreign countries, and
that the government had, therefore, the
right to protect those certain domestic
industries against foreign competitors by
levying tariff duties on tho foreign pro-
ducts sufficiently heavy to prevent
their importation. This perversion of
the tariff to the supposed purpose of pro
tecting certain domestic industries
against foreign competition has gradually
grown up into gigantic idol, a national
Moloch, strange, confused mixture of
philosophy, philanthropy, humbug, ly-
ing, cheating, and fraud, that imposes
itself upon the world as new economic
faith, of which Carey and Greeley are
tho prophets, of which Morrell, Oakes
Ames, and Mccarthy are the tithe-col-
lecting high priests, of which forty mil
lions of American citizens hnve been tho
deluded, robbed, and impoverished vic
tins, and Of which tho free traders of
today are the opponents unto death.
This perversion Of the tariff from its
original purpose of raising revenue to
the purpose of preventing imports, and
thereby preventing revenue, is called
protection. Its true nature has only re-
Gently begun to be understood by
people whose vitals were being sapped
they knew not how, and who are in
debted to tho extreme free traders for
the information. And then grew up nm
opposition to the present tariff system,
led indeed by the absolute free traders,
but very different to the old opposition
carried on by the absolute free traders
years ago.
The old opposition was au opposition
to raising revenue by any kind of tariff.
The new opposition is an opposition to
the system of protection.
But inasmuch as the agitation was be-
gun by the free traders pure and simple,
and iuasmuch us the free traders pure
and simple are fully US much opposed to
protection as they are to tariffs, the en-
tire agitation has ranged itself under the
banner of free trade.
Here we have the explanation Of much
that has always seemed obscure to the
general public. Tho FREQ traders, MS an
organization, consist of two separate
classes of thinkers-one that is opposed
to all tariffs, the other that is only op-
posed to the perversion of tariffs to the
delusion called protection. The former
class, it should not be denied, numbers
among its members some of the pro-
foundest thinkers of the day; but the
latter class, while not without competent
representatives, is Ivy far the most nume-
rous, the most active, the most tho
roughly in sympathy with the present
condition of public thought, and virtu-
ally constitutes to-day the free trade OLE
ment of the country
Let it then be understood, once for
all, that "free trade means opposition to
protection"

Co1LApsED.--TheT Town Council of
Monroe has unanimously resolved to
suspend all laws giving salary to
Town officers and has likewise abolish
ed the Office of the Town Attorney
This step has become necessary, it ap-
pears, from the failure of the officers to
discharge the functions of their several
Offices. Thus, we are beginning to
reap at home the fruits of universal
suffrage. Following the course of such
maladies, this one will by and by extend
the circle of it's bad influence to more
remote parts of the political system and
will eventually involve the whole in &C
knowledged disgrace and ruin. Good
citizens will stand aloof for fear of
contamination, and, with arms folded
patiently await, and perhaps, even pray
for the final overthrow of the run
mad Republic. So we go.
