Of a most conciatory disposition, has held
our good will Of no account, and returned our

the Debats were privately enjoined TO dismiss
from their staff this brilliant writer and they

shining talents to the Presse, and still later %

A NEEDLESS WAR.-In the Harper'
Weekly of July 30, an editorial on the war
in Europe, is thus forcibly and truthfaly
closed

of one crowned head aud the obstnaey Of
another have thus forced upon Europe, Amer

On either side it is properly war of defense

King Of Prussia, and the main question to DC
decided is, which of these two potentates has
the stronger army or the more skilliul gcneI,

Wendell Phillips ON Chinese Importation.

Mr.. Wendell Phillips publishes an article
in The National Standard of this week upon
1.-THE Chinese After saying that we should
and do welcome men of all races and nations
to our soil, he adds
" But such immigration to be safe and
helpful must be spontaneous. 1t must be the
result of individual will obeying the laws of
industry and the tendencies of the age. In
portation of human freight is an unmixed
evil, The Chinese, he thinks, will be valua-
BILE additions to the mosaic Of our nationality, ,
but they must come spontaneously, as the
Irish and Germans have done. If the capt.
tai Of the country sets to work, by system
and wide cooperation, to import them in
masses, to dsgorgo them upon US with an UNI
natural rapidity, then their coming will be a
peril to our political system and a disastrous
check to our social progress" The writer
then speaks Of naturalization and citizenship
as follows:
The right to be naturalized must not be
limited by race, creed or birthplace. Sec
ondly, every adult must vote. With only a
natural amount Of immigration, we can trust
Nht thuNuNiOH iilh hulhbtlN VI Oul ndllNt NOl-
ers to safely absorb and make over the for
eign element But it is easily possible for
associated Capital to hurry the coming of the
Chinese in such masses as will enable these
Money Lords to control the ballot-box by
their bond servants. We hold it to be clearly
within the province and as clearly the duty
Of Legislation to avert this danger. Capital
is too strong now. Universal suffrage is adj.
missible only on condition of an educated peo.
pie. We cannot undertake TO educate the
whole world at once. In detachments, mil
lion by million, we can digest the whole hui
man race"
workingman, he thinks if they come naturally
they will produce no evil result but if capital
imports them in masses they will crush
American labor to pauperism.
"The dollar now left" he says, after all
the bills are paid on Saturday night, means cd
ucation, independence, self-resPect manhood.
=.
The importation of Chinese labor seeks to
take that dollar from our workingman. The
true statesman must regard such a policy as
madness. The philanthropst must consider
it cruel and mad too. y
Every one cries out for cheap labor to deyeop
the country This random and thouqbtless
cry for cheap tabor is one of the great mis-.
takes of heartless and superficial economists.
We assert uuhesitatingly that cheap produc.
tions are an unmixod good cheap labor is
an unmtigated evil. To insure progress, the
the cost Of everything but human muscle and
brains must fall In view of such rule. we
claim the right Of government to check any
forced and unnatural importation of labor.
Against such claim the advocate of pro.
tectiye tariff cannot consistently open his
mouth. If the Frec.Trader assails us with
his objection " Has not the laborer a right
to buy his coat or flour in the cheapest
market ? Has not the capitalist the same
right to get his stock or his labor in the
