THE EIGHT EOuR Law,

Capital and progress will not be salts
fed with the eight hour law for labor,
and they will find some way to evade it.
Men who want to work ten or fifteen
hours will always discover a way to do it,
and they will never be satisfied that their
ten hours employment shall be paid for
with the same money that satisfied the
eight hour laborer. In New York, where
the work On the public buildings was re-
quired to be governed by the eight hour
law enacted at the last session of Con-
gress, the best men gradually disappeared
from the grounds, and the contractor had
to stop proceedings. As last resort, he
determined to pay the men by the hour,
and now he gets the best class Of labor
ers, and they stick to the business for ten
and fifteen hours. Thus the movement
which was started in the interest of the
physical system, as it was pretended, of
the laboring classes, has resulted in an
exactly opposite direction. Where the
design OF the law was to induce more
leisure and thus more education, the
effect has been to bring out greater efforts
and longer stretches of labor And it
will be found that similar causes will
produce like effects in every instance.
Men are not machines. They are
endowed with capacity to Judge
of their own wants. They are gifted
with intelligence to determine their
own hours of labor. Most men work
because it is healthier and happier to be
employed than it is to be idle. The eight
hour rule ignores this fact, 1t assumes

The United States government, when it
desires to provoke a settlement with
Mexico, can find much more respectable
provocation than Captain Dickeys aban-
doned lumber lugger, which was captured
by the Mexican officials at Appans under
suspicious circumstances last month. Cap
tain Dickey is parading his losses on large
scale at present, but he will find in the end
that the peace of the continent can not be
Jared thereby, nor will he put much money
in his pocket either. The game is then that
he is on the make with a very small capital.

THE Pope AND THE FRENCH PEAsANTRY.
The most grave mistake which Plus IX ey
er committed. so far as the French peasantry
are concerned, was that little trick about the
silver coinage. Although the pope remained
outside the monetary convention, the active
Roman mint inundated France with franc
pieces bearing the bepignant effigy of his ho-
illness. For a time this went on very prosper
ously, till at last the French government, In
the presence of this ever-inereasng inunda-
tiOn, reminded the people, as your readers
will remember, that these pieces had no mon
etary value, and were only worth the value OF
the silver contained. The practical conse-
quence was that the peasants had to support
a loss of two sous on every papal franc In
| their possession. This they have never for
gotten or forgiven. The association OF ideas
between that benignant portrait OF the pope
and a loss of two sous was an association ia
tai to the papal cause. The Roman treasury
gained not inconsiderable profit by the tran
saction, but the moral loss to the papacy was
incalculable. All the French liberals rubbed
their hands for joy, and ctuckling said: -
"The peasants will not like his holiness alter
this" Aud the truth is, that since the peas
ants have lost two sous by the pope, they
have thought and spoke evil of him continual
ly. During the whole course of the war they
firmly believed that the pope was alIled Win
the PruSSians, that he subsidized the TTusslah
| armies, and that the money collected oy the
| priests throughout France, no matter on Wnat
pretext. was regularly transmitted 10 the enc
my-Pdris Letter.
