Greeley. Southern Democrats are hun
grier than those of the North, and in their
desire for Office, reader to accept the stu
alton. 1t is possible that they, with these
circumstances in their favor, may be able
to restrain their Northern brethren from
making a nomination, and induce them to
support their favorite, Mr.. Greeley.
The COmier-JovadI, the most intluen-
tial Democratic journal in the South,
takes this view of the case:
1t is known that neither Mr.. Pendleton nor
Mr. Hendricks would accept a nomination
against Greeley and Brown if it were rendered
them; and they regard the union of the entire
opposition upon the Liberal ticket as the sole
hope of defeating Grant and this is obviously
the sense OF the country. 1t must also be the
sense OF the Democrats in Congress, or Judge
DAVIS would not quit the field until he had test
ed his aspirations further by submitting them to
another National Convention. His withdrawal
may be considered in every way conclusive
that, at Washington, the die-in-the-last-ditch
policy Is not favorably considered.
The foregoing statement is made in a
dOuble-leaded editorial, but we have the
significant statement from Senator Hen
bricks, in our dispatches this morning
that he is not committed to the Cincinnati
nominations, but will be governed by the
action of the Baltimore Convention. But
it is altogether too early to even guess
what the gentlemen who control the
Democratic party will do. We will abide
our time in patience and see what we shall

AMERICAN LABoRING MEN.

We rejoice that, under our system of
government, and under the policy which
has prevailed in its administration, Amer
lean labor is the best Temunerated labor in
the world. This is as it should be, and we
are glad that it is so. We are glad that the
humble mechanic or farmer, may aspire to
as lofty position in social or political life
as any other man, and with an equal show
of success with any other man, provided
he merits success. Among the greatest
men of the nation, we see those who have
reached the high pinnacle of fame, through
toll, having commenced life in the work.
shop. We have such examples all
over the country. When we con-
slider that such is the case, our hearts
are filled with pride and admiration.
Compare the laboring classes of the United
States with those of the Old World, and
what difference Here we see them
prosperous, contented happy. There,
miserable, degraded men and women, OBJ
jects of pity and commiseration. Here,
you can not distinguish the thrifty me-
chanic by his dress from the professional
man or the merchant. There his humble
garb tells the unmistakable story of his
lowly origin and of life marked by con-
tinuous unregnited toll.
Some idea of the difference in their sta
tions in life may be gathered by COM
parison of the prices paid for labor in
Europe and America. The British Foreign
Secretary's report to Parliament of late
date, gives the following as the average
rate paid to mechanics in a number of
European countries, which reduced to our

WHAT WILL THE DEMOCRACY DO?

This Is the question that now seems to
be in everybody's mouth. \ few days ago
it was, "How do you like the nomina-
tion?" But now it is, "What are the Dem
ocrats going to do?" Well, it is hard to
tell. They have called a National Con-
vention to meet at Baltimore on the
ninth day of July next, when it is
presumed that the sauauts of the nsr-
ty will know what is best to be done
There is certainly very great diversity of
opinion existing among the Democratic
leaders, and but for their great desire to
''beat Grant" it is very certain that ma
jority of them would favor straight
Democratic nomination. AS we have
heard of Democrat stating it, "they
would cast their votes for hanging Gree
ley, but are willing to vote for him for
President to defeat Grant"
The entire available strength of the par
ty lies in the Southern, or late slave-hold.

in these States seems to be largely fol

WE have looked in vain among the
names of delegates to the Cincinnati Con-
vention for representatives of the "honest
masses" in the South. We have heard a
great deal said about "carpet-baggers, !"
but that list presents an array of the sour

carpet-bag with soiled linen and paper

BEN WOOD has interviewed Mr.. Greeley,
and at public meeting held in New Y ork,
on Tuesday evening, stated that he reiter-
ated to him his possible withdrawal from
the canvass if the Democrats nominate a
man. They dare not oppose him in this
way. With all his record of Sharp's rifles
watamie Brown, support of Enforcement
laws, Kuklux laws, &c, he has only to
crack his whip over their heads to bring
them into line.

WILL HE RETIRE?

This is the question the Democrats are
now asking. Will Mr.. Greeley retire from
his position as editor Of the Tribune, and
leave his newly acquired friends to con-
duct the canvass in their own way, with
out his editorial assistance? Will he
cease to speak out in his peculiarly vigor-
Gus way upon subjects upon which he en-
tertains views very different from those of
his present admirers, or will he subside
and leave some one else to take up the
championship of his cherished principles ?
His Democratic masters seem determined
that he shall yield to their demands, and
retire from the position where he has &C
quired all the reputation he has, as the
leading journalist of the world.
The Louisville COwicr-JOMg10L thinks
the subject Of sufficient Importance for a
sharp editorial, from which we give ex-
tracts:
There are givings out that Mr.. Greeley will
not retire, even temporarily, from the head of
the New \ Ork Tribune. Before the Cincinnati
Convention it was a matter of serious concern
IN some quarters whether, if the nomination of
Mr.. Greeley should be made by the Liberals the
ter OF still more serious concern to know wheth-
er, If the Democrats indorse the ticket they are
to be embarrassed throughout the canvass by
his presence in the editorial chair of his paper
and this ought to be settled at once conclu-
sivey.
1t will not do at all. The Democratic man
ayers are shrewd enough to know that it would
not do, and, before they decide what they will
do, they should know definitely whether Mr.
Greeley will retire and whether the Tribune
will support the ticket. These are not comcal.
tiles, but practical suggestions, which, as the
campaign advances, will be found to be weigh
ty. The present appearance of things will not
do at all. 1t IS very fine thing considered
politically, to think that, though about to be
made President Of the United States, Mr. Gree
ley IS working away like a niger" But as
reality 1t does not suit the demands of the sit
uation. The sooner he retires the better
Mr.. Greeley will probably take the hint
and retire. If he must work like mig
ger" during the campaign, let it be at
farming. That viii suit the taste of his
Democratic friends much better than Tariff
editorials.
Upon the subject of his withdrawal, the
Philadelphia Press, which is usually as
well posted in such matters as any journal
in the country, says: ....
It is now certain that Mr.. Greeley will re-
main editor Of the Tribune and conduct it dur
ing the campaign.

moneV is AS follow !:

Take into consideration that this esti-
mate, which applies to skilled labor alone,
unskilled labor being paid about half
that, and take into consideration further,
the fact that twelve hours constitute in
many places days work, and you can
then draw some idea of the difference in
favor of our workingmen. The average
rate for mechanics in the fifteen
States named is siXty-tive cents
per day. The average mechanic in
the United States receives about four
times as much, and the demand is always
equal to the supply. In Europe the labor
ing man is the slave of the capitalist. In
America he has the power to protect him
self and the independence to exercise it.
There he has no voice in public affairs,
which can in any way affect the crown.
Here his influence is potent and he makes
himself felt in social us we'll as political
circles. We trust this may always be
thus, and that our government, recOg-
nizing this, may continue i'll the future as
has been done in the past, to always exercise
Il due regard for all measures calculated to
elevate the labOring man.

ONE of the planks in the platform of the
coming Democratic convention which is
to endorse Horace Greeley, will be a reso-
luton endorsing the late Thaddeus Ste
vens, a gentleman of liberal national
views OH the subject of slavery and the
rebellion. His record on the question of
reconstruction, so cordially endorsed and
ably defended by Mr.. Greeley, is very ac-
ceptable to the reconstructed Democracy.

Prln,ing-IIouse Square As 1t Was.

In tie earlier days Of Printing House Square,
New York city, before the name of the square
had been thought Of, no printing was done on
the premises The American Tract Society
was the pioneer, and next the " New York 0b-
server" When the Tract Society was formed
in 1925, the ground on which its beautiful
house now stands Was occupied BY a miserable
old wooden tavern, aud its surroundings on
Nhssan and SDrnre strnats ware in ksenug with
it. Spruce-stree was u narrow lane, but soon
after was widened thirty feet On its north
east corner. The Sun,'' the first daily penny
paper, and The Pleban," were printed, be-
fore the Tribune" building was erected
Directly opposite the Tract House on Nassau
street, where the Times " Office now is, was
an old one story wooden lecture room, and on
Beekman-,treet was the Brick Church, between
which was a graveyard with many brown and
broken headstnnes.
From the upper stories Of the Tract House,
between the church and tie lecture-ruom, there
was delightful outlook across the Park. In
1925, the New YORK Observer" occupied the
third story Of the building, One afternoon after
a beautiful shower. when the declining sun was
shining with all lis birlliancy through the open-
ing leaves aud upon the green grass Of the Park,
as number of gentlemen We're admirng the
view, Professor MORsB graphically remarked,
" The people who occupy this house have Hre
prospect beyond the gravp!"
After n few years the wooden lccture-room
gave place to a large Brick Chapel, which stund
till 1855, when it was demolished with tie
. Brick Church itself. and the beautiful " Times
Building" was erected, covering the whole
area.
The improvement thus commenced by the
Tract Society in 1926, has since been steadily
going on. New buildings have been erected.
Spruce street has been almost wholly built up,
aud Nassau street rebuilt far down belbw Beck
man and Ann streets. The printing has besu
extended, till in addition Ia all the buok print

ious journals are located upon and send ou

We are pleased to see the important move
meut on behalf of Total Abstinence principles
now going forward within the Catholic Church.
Six State Catholic Abstinence Unions have been
formed, and call has beer issued for a Nation
al Catholic Union to be formed in Baltimore on
he 22d Of February next. The object Of these
Unions are stated as follows : First-To pro-
mote the establishment of State Unions in States
where none exist. Second To aid pastors or
communities in organizing Catholic T,tal Alb
stinence Societies wherever desired. rhiid-
To secure an Interchange Of transfers between
the Societies in all parts of the country. The
call states that all Societies aud Unions that
may be organized prior to the time OF the meet
ing will be entitled TO representation. Hitherto
the efforts on behalf Of Temperance in the Cath
olc Church have been limited to those pastors
Hho have felt lively interest in that good cause
Now it seems that the cause is to have the aid o.
compact and vigorous organizations throughout
the country. It is a movement which will have
the favor and good will Of good men Of all de-
nominations.
