cratic free trade It is very handy to
bring political influence to prevent the
reduction Of profits on rice planting, and
use the physical agencies of the same
people to protect the planter against the
possibilities Of loss. This average reduc-
ticn Of wages may operate thus: It will
certainly reduce the cost Of production.
If the rice Of Hawaii be introduced free
and in sufficient quantity to effect by its
competition reduction in the price of
Carolina rice, the planters will have pro-
vided against less by cheaper cultivation
than heretofore. If the price of Carolina
rice should not be affected by the enact
ment Of the treaty, or the supply imported
under it, then the planter will make
better profit than heretofore by having
laid in his labor at less than previous
prices.
The extreme alacrity with which the
possible consequences of free rice are
made the excuse for cheap labor remind
US Of the person who, being asked to take
drink, replied that he would do so, be-
cause his wife was going to have fish for
dinner that day, and fish always made
him thirsty.
It seems to have occurred to the COL
ored population of Combahee that this
reduction Of wages was somewhat pre-
mature. They seem, according to the
following paragraph, to have struck all
along the line:
A strike occurred last week among the
negro laborers and house servants in the
COmbahee country, large rice producing
district of South Carolina. The strike in.
cluded ali the negroes. the unwilling being
forced into it by the rest.
It would seem just to await the occur.
renee Of the consequences apprehended,
and then to divide between the capitalist
and the aborer the loss which may result
from common calamity. It is to be
hoped that the present reduction OF wages
and the abandonment Of work may be
compromised to stand until some demon
strated loss may have been presented,
when both interests should divide the
burden ratably between them.

BY THE FORELOCK.

We remarked that the remonstrance of
the South Carolina rice planters against
the admission Of Hawaiian rice duty free
was, in good part, based upon the con-
sequential reduction of wages which
might result from that measure.
1t is very proper to remind Congress
that the laborer is very well worthy of his
hire, and it is plainly as proper to pro-
tect the colored operative in the cane
field or rice swamps as the white opera
tive in the forge or factory. 1t should
tend to convince our people of the politi-
cal value of the colored race. The con-
stitutional amendment has added two
fiftns to the representative numbers of
the freedmen, SO that, upon basis of
four millions of people, there has been
added to the Southern vote in the House
of Representatives from ter to twelve
members. There thus stand upon the
floor of Congress upwards OF thirty men,
bers in right Of negro representation,
and the law of Congress provides that
if the right Of equal suffrage be denied
these people by the laws Of any State in
consequence Of the color or past condi-
ton of the voters, the State will suffer a
reduction of representation in Congress,
according to the numbers so disfran-
chised.
The value of the colored people as la
borers and as the basis Of a repre-
sentation in Congress very essential to
the defense of Southern interests, is thus
made manifest
But we think the rice planters Of South
Carolina are somewhat hasty in assuming
all the consequences of free rice to have
wholly occurred, and to have reduced the
wages of the laborers twenty per cent Gin
apprehension Of the rice interests being
injured by the Hawaiian treaty."
We should suppose that to thus visit
the possible consequences of free trade
upon the wages Of the laborer would sad
die him with his share of these conse-
quences, and would naturally tend to di-
minish his interest in resisting Demo-

brilliant youth who is managing the New

He quotes the New Orleans REPUBLICAN as

papers as the New Orleans REPUBLICAN are
opposed to Uncle Samuel" If the Journal
meaps that the New Orleans REPUBLICAN 10
not in favor of selling the South to Mr..
Tilden, the Journal is right, and it is mo-
.ticed there are several Democratic papers
quite unlike the REPUBLICAN, which are not
in favor of making President of the little

Reading BY Subjects

81. NICHOLAS Tor september
But perhaps you don't know how TO read
BY subjects. Let me tell you. Suppose
you see an allusion to somethirg that inter-
ests you-say Sir Walter Raleigh: look for
his name in an encyclopedia or biographical
dictionary (which you will find in every
tolerable village library. Reading of him
you will become interested in Queen Eliza
beth; look her up il the same books, aud In
English history; observe the noted men Of
her reign, look them up, read their lives;
read historical novels and poems OF her
times; look at the table OF contents of mag.
szines and reviews, and read essays on the
subject. You zee the way open before
you. Once make q start, and there Is
scarcely any end to the paths you will wish
to follow.
fyou have no special subject OF int eIest,
take up an encyclopedia, slowly turn the
leaves, and read any item that attract syou.
not forcing yourself to read anything. If
you have any life in you you will find some.
thing to interest you; then you have your
subject. IL il is some historical person or
event, proceed as / have already indicated:
II scientific, overhaul the the dictionaries
ofscience, lives ofscientifc men, discussion
OF disputed points, etc.; if geographical.
turn to gazetteer, books of travels. etc.
One book will lead 10 another.
Right here let me say, hope you have
access to these works OF reference, either
in your own house, or that Of friend, or
at a'puolic library. But if your case is
the very worst-if you have none, cannot
buy them. and have no public library in
your neighborhood, let me advise you to
drop every thing else, and make it sole and
special mission to start one, either by influ.
encing your parents and older friends, or
by getting ups club of your mates.
