The worktngman.s arIllenium.

We copy the following article from
the Sitcer Strife, published by Fl. A.
Waldo, Esq, a former RaFennian, at
UnionYille, Nevada. We have read
somewhere that our former towns
man was publishing Republican pa
per; but certainly this don't look
much like it, or Radiealism in that far
off region is quite different thing
from what it is in this section of coun-
try:
The steamer Japan, which arrived
in San Francisco last week from Chi
ma, brought 1900 Cinnamon, and
fine prospect for the white laboring
man. Thirteen hundred Cinnamon in
one steamer, and two steamers per
month Surely, the white laborer's
millennium is near at hand, when the
weary Workingman will rest from his
toll, happy in the knowledge that his
services will be needed no more for
ever. No longer will he be required
to wear his life away in earning his
food I" by the sweat of his brow. =
How thankful will the workingman
feel toward. those who foster and en-
courage Chinese immigration to our
shores. The low heathen slave of a
barbarous nation shall hereafter do
our laborious toll for us; while the
white man shall be engaged in the lu-
crative and ennobling pastime of steal
ing or starving. Our deepest graft
ttide is due to the party and politi-
clans that have given us the Chinese
Treaty, and who support, protect and
defend the importation of these bar
barous hordes to do our work for us.
How happy must all workingmen
now feel, who have and are now sup
porting the great Radical reform par
ty, as they contemplate the blessings
| their influence and support have con-
tributed to bring upon themselves and
upon the generations that are to come
after them. How calmly they soon
will be able to lay themselves down
upon their pallets of straw, and be
waited to sound slumbers by. the de-
licious music of their loved ones cry
ing for bread, and there dream their
lives away in sweet visions of want; (;
until, under the glorious and benefi-
cent influences of a cheap labor sys-
tenn, they go down in sorrow to pau
per graves, eheered by the consolation
that they have spent their lives in
vain, and have blindly assisted in
bringing misery and despair to untold
millions, and ruin and disgrace to a
once happy, prosperous and eontented
| people. liad Sfie ,il9s 9ff4 -t-ii"4i

Protection Illustrated.

During the year 1859, we imported
from abroad 10000 tons of pig iron,
on which was paid to the federal gov
ernment, in duties at So per ton, ST.
0SO,000. During the same year there
was pruduced in this country 1,712,000
tons of domestic pig iron, the price
of which to consumers was increased
by the same tariff, S15,40S,000.
In 1869 we consumed of hides and
skins S22O,OOO,OO0 worth, of which
about Sl1,OO0O00 was imported. The
10 per cent. duty on the imported
amount yielded TO the government
81, ,116,540, and enhanced the price to
consumers of the home product by
$22, 100000.
Of salt we consumed in 1867, H.
OOO,OO cwt., of which about one-third
was imported. On the imported
amount we pay the government in
duty, at an average af 81 cents per
cwt., $1,175,795; and on the home
product we pay to the producers in
the way of protection s1,351, $50.
Of paper we used in 1869 about
S72, 600 worth, of which about 81
100000 was imported, and the re-
mainder produced at home. On the
imported amount we paid the sum to
the government in duties GO to 80
per cent.) just $685., ,752. At the same
time we pay the producers of the
home product about $1S,000,000 over
and above what we might have bought
the same amount of paper for under
free trade. @
Here are only four articles of gen.
eral consumption, the tariff on which
yielded to the government. the small
sum of So, 3,740,1SS, and to the home
manufacturers of them the enormous
sum of S57, ,765, 100, in other words,
consumers are made to pay over fifty
seven million dollars per annum fol
the protection of the few persons en-
gagged in the manufacture of these
four articles, under tariff made and
maintained by the Radical party.-En

REJEcTED.-In the House of Repre-

Congress and directing his credentials

and under the operations of which

Indian Barbarities.

A San Francisco telegram of June
23d, says: Arizona advfces have been
received to June 10th. They give the
particulars of the murder by the In
dams of Kennedy and Israel and the
dispersion of their party. Kennedy
lived to see Tuscan, but Israel was
terribly mutilated. His legs were
first burned off from his body, his
heart was then cut out and a fire
kindled in the remains, and to con-
clude their devilish work the scalp
was taken. The remainder of the par
ty reached Camp Grant. Their mules
were captured and merchandise des-
troyed. General Cogs@ell ordered
Lieutenant Cushing and a party of
cavalry to pursue the savages. Cush-
ing set outa and coming up with the
Indians killed two and captured their
village. al 5o3-'' .' 92-i.'-' i''

WORDS FITLY SPoKEN.--The fol-
lowing was contributed to the Portage
County Democrat of last week. 1t is
worthy of being universally read and
needed, and to aid in giving general
circulation, we reproduce it in our
columns:
A WORD TO THE GosslPs,-Tale
bearers and Slanderers, are among the
most contemplate of all Gods crea-
lures. Their tongues are ''set on fire
of HE'LL" and they do the work. of
their master-lhe Devil. More harm,
more real wrong has been done in
this community during the past three
years by this class of people than. by
any other. Nobody's reputation is
safe; nobody's name is sacred. Good
men, and noble, pure women are as
sailed, young girls, just entering up
on womanhood,s ,sentirely unconscious
of any wrong, are stricken down and
left to writhe and suffer from the
sting inflicted by these Internal
tongues d If3aI ''9H - 80
Slanderers and gossips of Rave1lna
Oh Ou NOhoSlOuo 1OW
how immeasurably contemplate
you are-are you conscious how your
| lies, your hints, your insinuations go
blistering and burning into the very
souls of your victims-how men.i wo-
men and girls, whose merits are, far
above yours, are irreparably injured
by your careless and malicious words.
These people whom you assail arc too
proud and Independent to follow up
stories which you put in circulation.
They have other business; but they
and all good men and women do most
heartily dispise you, and they feel the
wrong you do them very keenly.--
Some of you will steal, as welras lie
but others consider yourselves above
it. Yet stealing is a far more honora-
bic business than slandering, If you
cannot be honest and mast continue TO
.bemean, turn your attention to some-
thing else-petit larceny, horse steal
ing, house breaking, or some Kind. Of
business where the good names OF
your victims are not involved.

TRUE, TRUE.-The New York Jour-
nal Of Commerce, speaking of the
bills pending in Congress to throw
embarrassments in the way of natu-
ralization, says: "There is no sub
ject on which party misrepresenta-
ton is indulged SO absurdly as the
one of fraudlent voting by unnatural
lied foreigners. The whole hubbub
about it is raised principally by
shrewed party newspapers to explain
why their candidates are not elected.

In view of the rapid disappearance
of the public domain through the give
away policy of congressional legisla-
ton, the following statistics furnished
from the general land Office, will be
found interesting. The figures extend
up to last November, and do not en-
brace operations since that time:

mated by congress since last Novem-
Der, it will swell the grand aggregate
to at least 350,000000 acres-gone
from the people forever. This leaves
at rough estimate 075,000,000 acres,
exclusive of Alaska, yet in our pos
session; fully one-third, and probably
one-half of which is valueless. The
territory we have given to railroads
alone is more than the entire area of
England, Scotland, ireland, Wales and
France united; and besides this we
have loaned these roads government
credit to the amount of $62,00QO00.
