A conclusive argument against the assump'
ton that Protection favors Capital at the ex-
pense of Labor comes from the Conventions
held to instruct and influence Congress in the
con sideratiOn of the measure to reduce the
tariff on silk goods ten per cent. These assem-
blies have been called, organized, and addressed
by journeymen silk labOrers, who understand
more readily than any other class the disas-
tiers that would ensue to Labor itself upon the
adoption Of 80 ruinOus an error. The present
tariff on imported silk goods, say the laborers,
gives us ten per cent between mills
and nothing. The capitalists say that they
could not hire labOrers after reduction OF
ten per cent. Ten per cent runs the mills
out of that comes all manufacturer can ex-
peCt for his own labor and risk and for new
demands. 1t rs q false assumption that the
silk manufacturers are amassing great wealth
from tho profits on silk threads and silk
goods. During the past year they have
made some money, but the two preced-
ing years were years OF hard struggle
against the weekly pay-rOlls. During those
two years, many manufacturers who supplied
their hands with each weeks earnings found
that they had earned nothing for them. But
for the past years moderate profits, millions
of dollars worth of machinery would have
rusted idle in the mills, and there would
have been no capital for this years labor.
Aad now, so rapid are the improvements in
| the capacities of different kinds of machinery,
| and so necessarily enterprising are the manu-
| facturers in obtaining the better implements,
that if the present mechanism of any ordinary
silk mill were sold privately or publicly
three months hence, it would not bring sixty
per cent of the original cost. 1t is gratifying
to learn that the laborers fully apprehend
these truths, in the face of the fact that
newly imported goods are rising in price upon
the ground that European labor is making
heavier demands. Many of the skilled labor
ers are naturalized fOreigners-generallyS Swiss
or FIench-who have heard in Europe the ar
guments of the Socialists and Free-Traders
They say that ten per cent in the Tariff rate
makes all the difference between their work
ing in America or in Europe. That amount
covers the success of both capital and labor.

| We have had no part in framing Republican
| National Platforms since that OF 1850; but we
| have generally approved their propositions and
| been loyal to their requirements. Most espe-
| cially did we rejoice over the adoption of that
| thirteenth plank of the last one, framed by
| the Convention which nominated Gen. Grant,
| and set forth in the following words:
THAT we highly commend TIE spirit Of magnanimity
and forbearance with which who have served In the
Rebellion but who frankly and honestly cooperate

structng the Southern State upon the basis
OF impartial Justice and equal rghts received back
into the communion Of the loyal people, and We favor
the removal OF the disquaihcatons and restrictions i'm
posed upon the late Rebels in the measure as the
spirit of dslOyalty will die out and may be consistent
with the safety of the loyal people"
There are two radically diverse ends con-
templated by the infliction of disqualfcations
and restrictions" upon Rebels: 1. Security;
2. Vengeance. A people have manifest right
to protect themselves effectively against the
Vaccinations of traitors and rebels intent on
subverting their rightful sovereignty. Ii to
this end it be requisite to deprive public en-
emies of all political franchises whatever, the
power is inherent and may laudably be exer-
cised Hence the absolute denial of the
Right of Suffrage to banded traitors,
ready to break out into open re-
belliOn, was asserted and exercised
during our late desperate struggle-affirmed
and exercised quite as broadly by tho Seces.
sionists as by the UniOnists; and this was the
clear dictate of that principle which holds the
public safety the supreme, imperative law. If
the Rebellion could only have been subdued
by placing every Rebel under the ban ever
more, even that severe measure would have
been justified.
But wherever they shall no longer be essential
20 the public safety, all disqual9cstions and
restrictions should be OverbOrne and effaced:
so says the Chicago Platform Of 1858 30 say
the loyal supporters of that Platform. In other
words: Prescription is justifable wherever it
may be necessary to maintain and perpetuate
the Union it ceases to be justifable whenever
that necessity shall pass or have passed away.
So says the Republican National Platform so
say reason, common sense, and common
humanity.
The doctrine propounded by Senator Morton
at st. Louis, as also in the Senate by him and
others, seems to us very different 81 will

MR.. FIELDS As FAGIN.

The remarkable story of the conspiracy by
which Mr.. Thomas e. Fields defraudcd the
City of half million dollars, which we pub
lish elsewhere, is an illustration not only
of what INSCRIPTIONS officials may do
in robbng the public treasury, but in corrupt
ing the people. 1t is nothing surprising TO
hear that be had to spend $4,000 on the Leg
islature to get his bill through; it is not
astonishing to know that he had to
pay cone of two officials (siayor or Control
"ler)" 81, 600 to sign his fraudulent warrants ;
but it is amazing and grieyOus knowledge that
he found O constituency so ignorant or 80
corrupt as to become accessory to his crime
This man, according to the evidence gone
to the Grand Jury, has actually debauchod
whole community, and turned scores of his
neighbors into petty thieves almost as
culpable and contemplate as himself. The
honest folk of Harlem ought to put him ont

children the arts of the pickpocket II they
have any sense of decency left they will, at

We have mentioned that he has repudated

responsibility for having said that he had paid
THE TRIBUNE $4,000 for emitting publication
Of the payments to the tTcmen whom he
swindled into bribing him to rob the Treasury
for their benefit and his. We may as well
tell him perhaps that We don't credit word
of his denial, and firmly believe that he did
utter the lie to his confederates, and pocketed
the money he told them he had paid to us. At
any rate we warn him that the witness who tells
all this is just as positive, and, moreover. is
man who has had opportunities to know all of
Mr.. Fiells's movements and many of his
secrets. Moreover, he is one Of those danger
GUS men who save oil sorts and scraps Of

1t was again announced yesterday, on good
"authority," that Mayor Hall, Tweed, Con-
molly, and Sweeny, had been Jointly indicted
Of course there could be no good authority
for any such statement since only an official
connected with the jury or q juryman could
speak with positiveness, and then only by
violating an oath. And as all oath
breakers are naturally Liars. none such
could be cited as good authority. All that is
positively known regarding the indictment of
Hall is that angry discussion has revealed
that a majority of the jury favor returning q
bill against him. With this the public will do
well to be content until Saturday or Monday.
