Capital Us. Labor.

Labor produces all wealth capital, so
far, has controlled labor: but when the
great mass of laborers become sufficiently
enlightened, and can combine to protect
themselves against the shrewd manipula.
tions of the non-producing capitalists
and middle men, so as to secure to them
selves all the products of their labor,
which they now share with the armies of
the non.producing classes, in the form of
profits, interest, rents discounts, differ
enoe in exchange &C.. then there will be
DO rich, or poor; but all will have plenty,
comfort, and even luxury and plenty of
time for mental culture aud improvement,
and discoveries in art, science and inven-
tion. When that good time comes, we
shall be ready to step down and out and
join the grand army Of wealth producers
and make an honest living by the sweat
Of the brow. But for the present, Marsh
& AJord ofthe Elephant Store at Seattle,
propose to sell goods to the good people
of the Puget Sound Basin at less rates,
and more of them for their money, than
they have been accustomed to receive in
years gone by. And to prove it, let the
people come to us with the money in
their pockets and be satisfied of the fact.
Mr.. White, the Democratic Candidate
for Pros. Atty, while here received the
following telegram -
SEATTLE, Oct. 12th, 6 p. M.-Our en-

to five thousand majority. Ohio in

 -The discharging of several hands in lhe case shop we think indicates slackness ofbusiness in that establishment.
 -The lovers of scandal are working hard to stain the character of one of our citizens. They say he is a ''mean man" because he don't want to pay poll tax, when the State doesn't require him to do so. He may not be liberal tac payer, (and who does pay more than he can help?) but we DO know that he is a charitable man. When subscription papers are pre- sented for the relief of the sick working man. the widow and orphan, to our knowledge he never refuses handsome donation, without hesitation or ostenta- ton.

For many years Flu rope received all her carpets from the East. and in many places whole families might be found in the occupation of car pet weaving. We are now producing in this country carpets of the same excel fence as those of foreign make.

We say one, for there are other reasons 1t is true that on account of so many great ce- lebrities making this house home while Tn New York, the name of the Westminster IS known far and wide, but another and more important reason is that everything at the Westminster-rooms, suites, cui- sine, convenience of location, etc.-is un- surpassed, while the rates of charges are no higher than at other tirst-clas hotels.
