REASONS FOR PROTECTION.
Editor OF The Tribune.

SIR Your reply to Mr.. Low Tariff" in
your the 5th inst orcibe that it seems to
me that every reasonable mind should be convinced
And, yet, think. there is another argument whioh
shows clearly the sound policy Of Protection.
Mr. "Low Tariff" says he Is a worliingman He then,
surely hns considered if stopped to consider at
ALL that tho prosperity Of every country depends in
great measure upon the diversity employment which
It affords its people Here for instance is young man
who is about to out In life to his bread by the
sweat OF his brow He says "What can do TO obtain
livelihood Ihaye not the peculiar ability to III me for
either Of tho professions; have not the literary
taste. Farming 1 don't like but L do think
/ could learn TO make steamenR1ne,
any kind of machinery well AZ anyone to work in
iron would be my delight. But where should g0f Inc
peOpc OF this country they buy cheaper than
they manufacture. They have refused TO protect
manufactures against the cheap labor OF the O!d
and cannot get such employ here. But II can't
do that, canmake nice garment, ana Would, II pro
trade been unsettled by Hood Of cheap ready made
clothing from Europe"
Close our workshops and we become nation oI slug
CARDS Close our workshops and you put paddock upon
the inventive genius OF the country and Americans can
longer boast OF being the greatest Inventors OF the
age. Close workshops and the Intelligent foreigner
says, " will not emgrate TO America because cannot
lind employment to suit my particular skill But II

that the New-York State Colonization Society "has
entirely abandoned the policy of transporting negroes to
Africa" and confines its efforts TO the education and
eyangezation OF the Lberans. The following resOlu
iOn passed by the Board OF Managers shows that the
word entirely" is incorrectly applied:

have only perpetuated the sense of wrong in
the latter, and that of triumph in the former.
The event of the war, so far, has been to
teach France that redress of her original
wrong is impossible; bat now come in the
friends Of peace, and counsel her to submit
to a new and additional injury-the loss of
territory of which she has held undsputed
possession for two centuries During our
late war, when we were advised, for the sake
of peace and the avoidance of further blood
shed, to consent to a Acknowledgement of the
Union, we Indignantly scorned the advice
and we cannot but admire France for acting
in O similar manner now.
The fact is that there are a great many
worse things in the world than physical
death and suffering, and the destruction of
material wealth. A people that will tamely
allow itself to be wronged without resistance,
does far greater harm to itself and to the
world than by engaging in war and encoun-
tering its evils. Had England abandoned her
captive citizens in Abyssinia to their fate,
she would have been guilty in the sight of
God and man of an infamous neglect of duty.
Her making war on King Theodore to release
his victims was an act of national integrity
for which she deserves and will ever receive
the applause of the world. Yet our peace
advocates, to be consistent with their princi-
pies, should have been willing to let these
unhappy prisoners perish at the hands of
future the lives and liberty of all who might
fall into a similar danger. SO, France may
have been i'll error in striking for the Rhine
boundary, or Prussia may now be mistaken
in regarding an accession of territory as es-
sential to her future safety; but 50 long as
they both think their rights are involved,
their duty to their citizens and to posterity
demands that they shall yield only when
compelled to yield by force against which it
is useless to contend.
If the advocates of peace really wish to
carry their point, there is but one thing for
them to do; and that is to aid, to the extent
of their ability, in diffusing throughout the
world those principles of justice which will
render the employment of force in the redress
of wrongs unnecessary. But so long as
human nature remains what it is, soldiers and
implements of war will be as universal and
as indispensable as are policemen and sheriffs
and courts and prisons.
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1870-10-31
THE PEACE ENTHUSIASTS.

From the N. Y. Sun.
Those amiable enthusiasts, the members of
the Universal Peace Union of America, have
issued an appeal to both Prussia and France
to cease fighting and make peace. Prussia
is implored to be moderate in her demands
upon France, and especially not to cut off
from Paris, during the siege of that city,
supplies Of wood and water. France is couu-
selled to submit to any terms Prussia may
impose upon her, rather than lose more of
her children. All nations are exhorted to
abolish their standing armies; and mankind
in general and womankind in particular are
called upon to discountenance military train
ing and organizations, and to pay no more
taxes for war purposes.
The kindly sentiment which has dictated
this protest against war no one can fail to
respect. So far, too, as any particular war is
commenced or waged without valid grounds,
all right-minded people will join in con-
demning the nation, or the party in a nation,
that makes itself responsible for it, The
mistake of the peace enthusiasts lies in
assuming that all wars are unnecessary or
avoidable, and that rulers could, if they
would, dispense with the instruments for
carrying them on.
Take this very war between France and
Prussia as an example. For years past the
French have been in the habit of regarding 2
as rightfully theirs the territory which inter
vened between their boundary and the RSire,
and have entertained the resolve to get pos
session of it as soon as possible. Prussia,
on the other hand, has been we'll aware of
the feelings and purposes of the French, and
has made her preparations accordingly. Both
nations firmly believed that their cause was
just, and circumstances at last brought them
into collision. Had France been without
an army, she would have been compelled
still longer to be deprived of what she
looked upon as her lawful property. Had
Prussia been unarmed while her adversary
was armed, she would have had to suffer
what she would have esteemed as spoliation.
would have been virtually decision in favor
of Prussia and against France, which would
