Workingmen's Unions in England,
Germany, and Italy sympathized
with them. This, then, is The point
we have reached There are nearly
q million of workingmen in Europe
and America organized into these
combinations, which are being con-
federated and represented in great
international congress, that legis-
late on the rights of labor, and pass
laws that the political Legislation
of their respective nations cannot
annul
Now, then, rs there any possible
remedy for this state of things? Is
there any measure that would ar
rest this civil war between labor
and capital; that would unite them
harmoniously, and make not only
their interests, but their feelings,
indenticalp We know that in a
few cases in America, and in far
more in England, the cooperative
system has been tried; and it works
we'll One or two hundred work
ing-men form o joint stock COM
pany, each investing his labor, and
perhaps a pound sterling, or five
dollars, in money, in it. This sys-
tenn puts them all on a new footing,
and animates them with q new
spirit of ambition, of ownership, of
independent enterprise. In the first
place, they have all the capital Of
mechanical science, genius, and
skill which manufacturing capitalists
can command. Of course, they
have all the muscle labor needed.
Then they have little money cap
ital; and with this money, muscle,
and skill they increase their pro-
duction and working power as a
corporation. There are many of
these companies in England; and 1
believe they generally work har-
moniousiy and well.
But I am persuaded this cooper
ative system can never supply the
remedy that is needed. 1t does not
meet the difficulty. 1t is the seces-
sion of labor from capital, not a
union with it. It is labor setting
itself up as an independent power,
which must increase the antagonism
to capital, and make a civil war
perpetual between the two great
forces upon whose union every
country must rely for its material
prosperity. We must look for
something better than this cooper
ative system as remedy for the
evil. We must look for it in a
different principle. I think we
can find that principle working
beautifully on a small scale in a
system now in practice in connec-
ton with one great American enter
prise. And, if the principle works
we'll on a small scale, it may work
equally well on a large one. "If to
equals you add equals the sums
will be equals"

FROM THE NFw NATIONAL ERA.
HOW DEMAGOGUES DIFFER.

Men of small minds and narrow
views Judge Of all questions Of ma
tional interest rather by the effect
they have upon their party than
their intrinsic merit. Principles
and measures of the most vital inn
portance to the welfare of the ma
tion, and involving also the quss-
tions Of peace or war. are fercely
condemned because they are advo.
Gated by their opponents, and may
gain some political advantages from
them. Such has been the case with
a few of the .'lesser sort" of Demo
Gratis in this country, and of Tories
in England, in regard to the treaty
of Washington. The Patriot, of this
city, having no higher aim than to
shake public confidence in the ad-
ministration of President GRANT,
and to bring the real Democracy
again into power, has opposed the
treaty with all the malignity and
zeal the men who control it can in
fuse into its columns Of the treaty
our Washington demagogue gives
the following opinion:
"The Treaty of Washington
proves to be an unconditional sur
render of the dearest right claimed
by this Republic from the earliest
days of its infancy. It is useless to
narrate how our American commits
sioners were wheedled, cowed, de-
ceived, and betrayed; their stupid
ity, villany, and ignorance deprived
us of everything, and disgraced us
in the sight OF England and the
world"
Almost the very day this emanatded
from the mind of the man who inform
ed the rebels of Charleston of the pur.
pose of our Government to relieve
Fort Sumter, the London Saturday
Rerieu, Tory, and Of course against
the administration of GLADSTONE, ap-
peared with the following equally Wig
orous denunciation of the treaty as a
disgraccful surrender on the part Of
England:
"The treaty proves to be an abso-
lutte surrender Of every point for which
successive English governments have
contcnded. 1t commences with the
humble apology which was demanded
in vain by Mr.. Sumner and Mr.. Fish;
and the English Commission, as if fol
the express purpose Of humiliating this
country, have committed the blundel
of declaring that the law which they
recognize for the purpose Of compen-
sation was not in force when the sup
posed liability was incurred"
By changing the names of the two
countries from one article to the other,
they will be so nearly in the same Ian
guage as to be scarcely distinguishable.
Either the Tory editor of the Reriep,
or the editor of the Patriot, might have
written both. The allegations of the
former that England had surrendered
everything, and of helatter that Am.
erica has lost all by the treaty, is 6
very remarkable instance of the truth
of the proposition with which We
started, and of the downright knavery
of both editors. And no higher comp
liments could be paid to the wisdom
and justice of the treaty than that it is
condemned by the bad men of botf
nations.

and shelter were terribly destructive

s+.ested, that the colored people

numbers.
This fact is ominous of evil, if
