THE CAUSE or IakT TER MoILeYS REMOVAL.

washington correspondence 12th) Boston Post.l
Western republican Senator who called at the
White House to-day took occasion to express his
regret at the rumorod recall Of Mr.. Motley, which,
he said, would be unjust towards that gentleman,
who has established himself IN London at great
expense, expecting To remain there during the pre-
sent Administrations; BESIDES many would regard
this recall as q blow at Mr.. sumner for his oppos
ton to the ratification OF the ST. Domingo treaty.

ing toward Mr.. sumner in proposing TO change

not in accordance with his instructions, hal not

change in the Legation at London had consequently
been determined on. some months since the Pres-
dent also intlmated that Mr.. Motley was not suf-
hcienty American in his department and manner OF

TEE LABOR QUESTION.
Inconsistency of the Tradcspeopl,

Inconsistency of the Trndcspeople.
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
Having read many letters and addresses on the
labor question from workingmen aud their sympa.
thlsers. In which the most important facts which The
question Involves have been entirely ignored, de-
sire TO tax your lberaty for small space In your
columns in which to present those facts to the public
that they may receive the attention their merit en-
titles them to. ~.
The trades represent but small proportion Of the
labor interests OF the world and being organized on
the avowed assumption "that unskiled labor can.
not be protected" their appealing to that branch or
department for protection In the present emergency
places them In rather humatng position, mas
much as 1t involves the admission that skilled cannot
well be protected without aid from unskled labor
Their being organized for the especial purpose OF
securing a monopoly OF certain branches OF labor for
rom free IN tbsm ha,r a ,ne anS
10 the masses for aid In efecting their purpose and
not proposing reciprocal favor has the appearance
or adding insult to Injury which will 20 far to JUS
tiy the denuncations of trades unions as organized
gangs of ''mean, selfish mIscreants.n
Therefore, having learned by experience that
skilled labor cannot be protected unless aided by
the masses, II the trades would justify an inteii:
gent claim to an honorable purpose they will under
take TO devise and demand the Inauguration OF
some system by which all branches OF labor Will
be equally well protected from the oppression
that is imposed upon all. The bases Of such sys-
tenn cannot be found in the false theory that abor
produces all, capital nothing, and is therefore en-
titled to nothing; for SO long capital IL employed
as an agent in promoting production it Is as much
entitled to compensation as labor Is. And II 1t Is
just for labor exact all the compensation 1t is able
to extor 1t is equally just for capital TO do likewise
Labor is not justly entitled to IavOrs; capital asks
none Recognizing the justice and validity OF this
theory, we Will regard IL folly to contend haC there
is natural antag0nism Of interests between labor
and capital, for we will perceive there Is, and
which can only be overcome by inaugurating
system that will insure abunoant produc-
ton aud equitable distribution or exchange OF CON-
mOdtes without the aid Of capital but py labor
only. Sucn a system can be devised, and Will be in
auGurated when the masses sufficiently enliQht-
ened to comprehend the necessity for demanding IT,
Then the burden imposed by capital will be removed
and no violence or injustice done 10 any class.
