Who Does Protection Protect

The St, Louis Republican says:
THE Massachusetts legislature has had
it's attention attracted to the low physical
condition Of the children and girls employed
IN the mills in that states and to remedy
it has just passed law forbidding the en-
pioyment by any manufacturing corpora
ton of women, or children under eighteen
years old OF age, more than sixty hours in
a week. Sixty hours week is ten hours
a day. The Massachusetts task masters
must be an Unsuitable set,if they cannot be
satisfied with that much labor from these
tender employees.
The mills" in Massachusetts are cotton
and wooden mills, Which have been protec-
ted by tariff longer than any class Of fac
tories. At the present time it appears
that the American laborer is 50 poorly
paid that he is obliged to put his children
at work at tender age, and that the chill
dren are worked such long hours that the
state legislature is obliged to interfere and
pass law for the special purpose of res
cuing the children from the greed of their
task master. The only parallel to the law
are those formerl y passed in the south for
the protection of slaves, and those of Eng
land. And thus 1t appears that the labor
ers of America, under the tariff system. are
reduced to a condition akin to that OF the
slaves in the old times, and precisely to the
condition Of the pauper laborers Of Eng
land. against whom the tariff laws are de-
yised as pretended protection.
1t is to be noted also that it is the power
of the State which is invoked to protect the
citizens from the operation of federal laws
The tariff laws passed by congress tend tC
the building upot great corporations which
control whole communities and regulate
the wages and expenses, the social stand
ing and the personal habits Of vast mum
bers of persons aud families When the
system has been continued for years, AS il
Massachusetts, the tyranny becomes oppres
Sive and families are delivered over, from
generation to generation, to the tender mer
cies Of corporations The workmen draw
their wages from the corporation treasury
and spend them at the corporation store
they attend the corporation church, and ar
buried at last in the corporation graveyard
From this system there is no escape, an(
the State laws can only mitigate, not remov
the evil
The situation is, therefore, the anoma
lous one of the State interfering to protec
its citizens from the hardship wrought b
federal enactments.

an 0incer. Our business was to OBTAIN the name
OF the man who had committed the assault.
We were received by Captain Williams IN
most insulting manner, ana not being able to
obtain any satisfaction rom him, we were driven
to seek redress at Police Headquarters, where he
renewed his nsolence and informed us (iacetouslv,
suppose) that he prided himself on his gentIe-
manly qualities. Awaiting. myself Of your well
known courtesy, l would respectfully ask the

SENATOR LOGAN ON PAPER MONEY,
from the cincinnati Gazette.1

Senator Logan yesterday demolished Senator
Schurz on the currency as blacksmith would de-
molish the finest watch with one blow of his
sledge hammer. He showed that Schurz's IDEAS
OF money still inthralled by the effete despot
isms OF the old world, and that he mas not learned
pand with the spread OF the American eagle. Sem
ator Logan Is what the Hon. Elijah Pogram would
call true child OF this Tree hemisphere, whose
''answer TO the desp0t and the tyrant Is that his
home is in the setting sum-" He has the true
American principle that great country requires
great currency; that il money Is not equally
Unused distribution OF paper money must be
made to equalize it, and that the best fertilizer
you can put on our soil Is to spread 1t all over with
irredeemabie paper money.

wThe hard times advocates are pa
rading figures to show that the lower
premium on gold,occasioned by the veto
Of the Currency Bill, is equivalent to an
increase in the value OF the paper cur

dollars. f @
Well suppose it is. Who makes that
eight millions of dollars? Why clearly

and those to whom it is owing.
The paper money is more valuable be.
