What the Advocate viii Do.

In response to the inquiries of some
super-zealous friends, who are anxious to
learn what course the ADVOCATE will pur-
sue in case Judge Davis declines to be a
candidate on the Labor Reform Platform,
we desire to say that it will pursue the
same course in the future as it has in the
past. 1t will support no candidate, be he
who he may, who occupies such posi-
ton. II Judge Davis repudiates the Labor
Platform the ADVOCATE will repndiate
Judge Davis, and advise all its readers to
do likewise. 1t has labo ed too long to Sc
cure the recognition and adoption of these
principles its faith in their ultimate tn
umph and the reform they will secure is
too deep rooted, to desert them UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES. We hope this answer will
prove satisfactory On the other hand, we
don't propose to allow any sorehead or dis
organizer to control its columns, or Islander
men who are honest and sincere-tO merely
crafty their spleen or minister to their am
bition. The best evidence that Judge Da-
Wis was sincere in his acceptance of the
nomination rendered, and the position he
occupies in the opinion Of the American
people, is to be found in the malicious at
tacks of the Administration press, and the
still more malicious ISLANDERS of some of the
disappointed camp followers Of the Labor
Reform Movement
1t is needless to add that 50 far as
at present advised, we have every assu-
rance that Judge Davis not only endorses
the platform Of the Labor Reform party,
but intends in good faith to ask the suf-
frages of the American people ON THAT
PLATFORM.

BosroN, April 8, 1872.
To the Editor 81 the woRkIxsMANs Advocate
Meditating on an editorial in your last
issue, headed, The Labor Element, =
which says 1T is strange to think that
the brains which invented -tenths of
the labor-saving machinery should not IN
derstand the workings of a republican
government" and admitting the great pro-
gress workingmen have made in establish
ing themselves into political party, and
considering the great advantages which the
drones have over the working people, we
find out how strong our enemies are. For
instance, if we look at the immense power
which the corruption of the Republican
Government officers, headed by the man
who keeps the keys of power in his hand,
piles up against the workingmen's party,
whose only means to depend on is truth
and morality. To oppose such powerful
foe, we find out how great the obstacles are
we have to overcome but this shall not
deter us from continuing the right course
As we need union for our strength, would
call upon the Labor Reformers Of Massa-
separate on account Of opinions differing
on trades unions and strikes though they
are in the right. We are all following the
same end, and by separating ourselves we
injure our own interests. don't suspect
the Labor Reform leaders Of having ego
tistical purposes, as our worthy Eight Hour
Leaguers seem to have when they disap-
prove Of the best plank Of our platform,
but they seem like the Massachusetts, Wo-
men Suffragists, who disagree with the New
York Women's Society because they like
to dissent without considering the damage
to the common cause.
On the 26th and 9th of May we will
have Labor Convention here, where |
hope to see the union of all labor elements
with the National Labor Party. The 10th,
SD, and Both Sections Of the Information
ais of Boston English, French and Ger
man-will send their delegates to work in
unison. Respectfully,
e. A. Paterson.

were concluded after . session of several
hours-all Of the committee agreeing 10 and

After the reported platform had been adopted
by the Convention, Mr.. Day sought and
worked strenuously to obtain the nomination
for the Presidency, upon platform that he
had persistently refused to sign or endorse.
Thus the public can readily see that the aims
of Mr. Day are to injure and crush all who are
bold enough to stand in his way, and for the
right. One of the great principles of the
Labor Reform Party in to strike down tyranny
in whatever shape il may present itself.

After his return to Detroit labored arti-
Gle Of three columns-characteriz only
by the insipid ponderosity which belongs
exclusively to the Canadian press, sp, cared
in the "Globe, ridiculing, or rather at
tempting to ridicule, his arguments, and
the statement that the mechanics of the
Dominion had grievances which demanded
redress. Their privileges were painted in
roseat hues men who live on starvation
wages were told they were the most favored
class ON earth ; that employers were simply
their tools, who were compelled to study
their interests and obey their behests and
that under these circumstances none but
a demagogue would admit the propriety Of
their claims for al increase of wages or a
reduction Of their hours of labor. The fol-
ly and baneful influence Of trades unions
were pointed out, the aid of statistics was
invoked, and altogether the employee was
proven to be dictator rather than a slave.
These arguments, failing to have the de-
sired effect, the terrors Of the law were in
voked As dernier resort the opinion Of
u prominent member of the Canadian bar,
Mr.. r. A. Harrison, 2. c., on the legality
Of trades unions, was requested by the
I Master Printers Association. His response
appears at length in recent issue of the
Globe After a labored attempt, in
which the common Law Of England is ran
sacked, and the decision of this and that
be-wigged jurist cited, with the gravity Of
an owl, he arrives at the following conclu
sions. He says
None of the English protecting statutes "a
Geo. ", Cap. 81 /; q Geo. w., Cap l29 or -
Vie. Cap. 34ll being in force here, I can only
come to the conclusion that combinations q
workmen in Canada for the following purpose,
are illegal
l. To lessen or alter the hours for labor.
? To obtain an advance Of wages
! g. To fix the rate of wages
4 To decrease the quantity Of work
D To induce others to depart from Their
service before the expiration OF their time.
3. To quit work before their work il tin
! ished
:. To refuse To enter into work or employ
ment.
4 s. To persuade Others not to enter int,
employment.
Now the proof Of the pudding is the eat
ing Of it. We presume nothing would please
Z the mechanics of Toronto better than fol
some Of the Rip Van Wrinkles who approve
Of or believe in the Law as it stands to at
tempt to enforce its provisions. Suppose
for example, they commence at the begin
ming, and punish men for combining to les
sen the hours Of labor, or to obtain an ad
vance Of wages. Such rubbish as the abov,
decision is not worth the paper upon which
it is printed. To-day the government o.
Turkey would repudiate such ante-deluviar
provisions, and we think the common sense
of the Canadian people cannot do less
Labor has rights which must be respected
rights which have been recognized by every
European power We think the working
men of the Dominion owe a debt Of graft
tude to Mr. Harrison-for the invaluable
aid which he has rendered them, though W,
have too much faith in their manhood anC
common sense to believe that his decision
will cause them to abate one iota in theil
demands.
