fraud, and Hayes agreeing, for the
Presidency, to accept the Southern
policy OF the Democrats.
Where the debt Of gratitude comes In
we cannot see. Hayes owes much to the
forbearance of the South, while he has
given the South nothing but what the
country forced him to give; nothing
but what he found 1t absolutely neces-
sary to give. The Picayune may pass

debase themselves at his feet as relish

"Two gentlemen from Ohio" have
just taken advantage Of Secretary
Schurz's absence to make a raid on the
clerks OF his department for subscrip-
tions to the Ohio campaign fund. Fol-
lowing 80 fast on Sherman's significant
hint, conveyed in the shape of purely
moral and personal reflection to the ef-
feet that it was his duty as well as priv
ilege to vote and he was going home
to do it, and did not propose to infringe
upon the same privilege and duty OF his
Pennsylvania and Ohio subordinates,
the impression somehow got out
among Schurz's clerks that 1t was not
altogether matter of choice whether
they should subscribe or not, 80 they
all paid up.
TO say nothing of the Presidents
civil service order, this is all in viola
ton of Schurz's recent tract on election
duties, and the country will pause and
await with awe-striken silence the
wrath OF the Secretary when he returns
and finds what's been done since he's
been gone.
We have already noticed McCrary's
convenient construction Of the civil ser
vice order with reference to campaign
fund subscriptions among the en-
ployes Of the War Office, and now the
thing seems to be about as 1t was in the
good old days when we had no civil ser
vice reform to vex us. In the light Of
these later constructions, Blaine's raid
on the Maine custom houses Is not 80
piratical as we were wont to believe q
week ago.

THE WORKINGMAN AND THE TARIFF.

Among the stereotyped resolutions Of
the various workingmen's parties is one
demanding protection Of home manu-
features and industries against foreign
competition. The implication plainly
is that an increase of the tariff Is meant
by this demand, and from this we can
but infer that the workingmen are fail
ures ss politicians and have read to but
little advantage the stern lessons Of our
hard times and their sad experience.
Henry Clay was fond Of saying, "Let US
take care OF the rich, and they will take
care of the poor" This was possibly
wise observation in his day, when
protection found temporary and tran
sient vindication from the stimulus It
gave to industries but In their infancy,
and which found for their products q
market at home that was then beyond
all possibility of surfeiting. But, now,
things are vastly altered, and where the
tariff was once the mere guardianship
of undeveloped resources and enter
prise, 1t has now become @ most griev-
GUS hindrance to industries SO extensive
as to require the world for market,
and grievous burden on capitalists
and operatives alike. Protective tariffs
are always levied for the benefit Of
manufacturing capitalists and never
in the interests OF manufac-
turing operatives. SO long as
they really bring prosperity to these
capitalists the operatives get living
wages. But the moment that the mar
kets to which these tariffs confine the
products of the manufacturers become
glutted, and the fictitious prices which
result from protection can no longer be
justified or sustained by demand, the
only natural and healthful incentive to
production, then we find the Clay doc
trine totally at fault, and that the CAPT
talist's first expedient is to cut down the
operatives wages SO as to enable him to
put his wares at competitive prices on
foreign markets. It this expedient fails,
all the capitalist has to do is to with
draw from his enterprises and save him
self. But this resort Ia death to the la
DULCls blC opUlbUFUs w WhQA phDpO LII
dustries supply the very necessities Of
life. The contest is very unequal one
the capitalist carries on his enterprises
solely for gain, and when they fail to
pay him what he considers just per-
centage on his investment, he has
simply to quit, but against this mere
love of money making is staked, on the
side Of the operative, the bread he eats
and gives his children. It seems to us
that the laboring man should be the
first to see these facts, and we cannot
comprehend how he should be 80 blind
to his interests as he has shown himself
in this view, which has been embodied
In all the platforms he has established
in his effort at distinct and exclusive
party organization.
