from Europe, that the position OF the United
States is not understood in Europe. The only
Official dispatch from this government relative
to the war was sent on Friday, addressed to
Mr.. Bancroft, with copies to Mr.. Washburne
and Mr.. Motley, the effect of which, as ascer-
tanned from reliable source. was: "While
we cannot act In connection with other ma
tons, yetlf our good offices are requested bY
both belligerents, we should be happy to ex-
tend them with view Of bringing about peace
between two great powers with which we
have traditional friendship. This government
will scrupulousIy abstain from interfering in
the affairs Of foreign nations, if for no other
reason because it would set an example or al
ford apretext for interference hereafter with
our own. Hence it expresses no opinion as to
the merits OF the war;" The dispatch to Ban
croft was so carefully worded as to leave no
doubt of our carefully abstaining from foreign
alliance as to the belligerents, while we are
always ready to exercise offices of friendship
when specially desired to do so by the nations
at war.

The CHINEsE.-Last week's Ma
tionaz Standard has an article by
Wendell Phillips on the Chinese, as to
their influence on workingmen. lie
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 bills
are paid on Saturday night, means edu-
cation, independence, self-respect, man.
hood. Tue importation of Chinese
labor seeks to take that dollar from our
working man. TIE true statesman
must needs regard such policy as mad
ness. The philauthropist must con-
slider it cruel and mad too. Every one
cries out for cheap labor to develop the
country. This random and thought
less cry for cheap labor is ono Of the
great mistakes # beartless and super
fetal economists. We assert unhesi'
tatinsly that cheap productions are an
uumixed good. Cheap labor is an un'
mitigated evil. To insure progress the
cost of everything but human muscle
and brains must fall. In conclusion,
Phillips advises workmen to take ad.
vantage of numbers at the ballot boxes
and to use their power remorselessly.
