COMM UNISM.

In theory communism is in conflict
with the laws OF our being Were it
put in practice it would increase rath-
er than diminish the evils OF which it's
advocates complain, and create others
of graver import As compared with
the present order of things it would di-
minlsh production and distribute what
would be produced unjustiy. Says
Herbert Spencer "a desire for prop
erty il one of the elements of our ma
ture," and "the right of private prop.
erty harmonizes with the human con
stitution as divinely ordained" By
denying this right and holding the pro
duce of labor as common stock, com
munism takes away one Of the strong.

Dor energctically the laborer must be
sure Of rec ewing the fruits OF his In
dustry in form which be can appre.
ciate as his own. The communistlc
idea of equality IS also wholly at vari-
ance with the principles on which la
bor to work effectively, must be or.
ganized and directed. 1t is, moreover
at variance with the principles of eqni
table distribution. There is nothing
more manifest in the constitution and
course OF nature than the law OF diver
sitication. In the animal and vegeta

aptitudcs. Now, TO assign to the ser
vices OF every one an equal value, anC
allot to every one an equal share Of th'
produce of labor, would be maniiestly
unjust and, as Herbert Spencer says

THE following statement made by the
Southern Planter and Farmer, an agricul-
tural magazine published at Richmond, Vir-
gnia, as preface to George B. L)riDg's let

shows that even the melIiauous eloquence of
Loring will not soften the Southern heart |:
THE STATE FAIR-LETTER OF MR.. LonrNa.
We intended, az was proper, to write some.
thing about the Fair; indeed had prepared il.
when we encountered the following letter from
Mr.. Loring, one OF the Presidents party, ad-
dressed to his constituents The letter is pleas
antly written. aud gives such truthful account
OF the products of all kinds our folks 1ad to
show, that we adopt that part of it without re-
serve. MI Loring has great standing 1t
nome New England) as an agricnlturalist1.
His description of the sincere cordiality with
which the President was received is also the
fact AS to the remainder (referring, .ay, to
SAMBo,) we must expect some snivelliug as
sentimental humanity has long been large
element in the stO * in trade of New Eng
land, So outside of the reference to the eT-
hibition it elf and the manner OF the Prssi-
dents reception, tha letter must bs taken BY
our readers for what it is worth. In eyerv.
thing but the fact that its territory has pin ce
aoithin the domain of the United States, Neto

THIS (the greenback), says one OF the Ma
tionalpapers, sis the dollar that was good
enough to pay the soldiers for the trials and
privations in camp, for the suffsrings incl
dent to the march, and on picket; for expos
ure and starvation in prison pens, for all the
hardships borne by him, that the bondholder
might be secure in his comfortable home and
in the possession of the plenty for which he
toiled not" This (the greenback), is the
promise to pay dollar, made by our Govern
ment in the stress of war. The Country
said to the soldiers, "We have not the money
to pay you, but take our notes and we pledge
the faith of the nation that we will pay those
notes in gold when the war Is over" That
promise has not been kept, and if the Nation
ais have their way the pledge will be broken.
The bondholder is the man who lent his
money to the Government and took Govern
ment notes at time when every banker in
Europe toIu urm Jne-n norrs- ppsr. No. ,uor,b
the paper they were printed on, for they
would never be paid. The faith of the SOL
dier and the bondholder in the word of the
Government gave their value to the green
and the bond. The Nationals propose to
break that word.

FARMERS are likely to have to contend
this summer and fall with something worse
than the lightning-rod man. The Green
back orator is abroad. He is exceedingly
voluble and will talk for hours about the sub
Ject of finance which he has probably not
studied as many.minutes. He will compare
the prices which the farmer received for his
crops during the war with those he obtains at
present, conveniently forgetting to make a
similar comparison in reference to those things
the farmer has to purchase, and will play all
sorts OF juggling tricks with the figures of the
public debt. His theories are plausible but
when the pretended facts on which he bases
them are examined they will be found to be
gross mistatements. The easiest way to
refute his arguments Is to correct his state
ments.

The New York Tribune Of Saturday pub
listes an open letter to Rev. E. Y. Hincks
from Gail Hamilton on the subject of Mr..
Hincks' Fast Day sermon. Over his shoul-
ders she administers castigation upon cler-
gymen who make loose and sweeping state
ments about public men and measures and
who present their views concerning politics
with "Thus saith the Lord" air. When
ministers find themselves held to the same re-
sponsiblity as laymen for their words, they
will probably be little more careful to ascer-
tain the truth of their premises before pro-
mitigating their damnatory conclusions er
cdthedrd.

THE good Glover fares badly at the hands

THE good Glover fares badly at the hands
Of his brother-Democrats, for he stupldly
discovers their wickedness instead Of the
shortcomings of Republicans. Here is what
the Washington Post, Democratic organ,
says of him: Mr.. Glover has made great
proclamation of his investigating tendencies
and has accomplished little. He has spent
more oil the peoples money than any man In
Congress, and there is nothing to show Tor IL
Instead of exposing the rascality and corrup-
tion of the Republican party he has simply
thrown a lot of mud on Democrats who hap
pened to be distasteful to him. Mr.. Glover
may be a well meaning person, but has bad
gang about him. It is about time for him to
establish the TACT that investigation investi-
gates.

THE Pennsylvania miners desire that al
the people who use coal and iron shall con.
tribute to their support. Their plan Is for
the State government to make a corner in
these articles, send prices up, and so enable
the miners to go to work again. This Is the
worst kind of class legislation. Every laborer
in Portland, for example, must pay three or
or four dollars more ton for his coal in order
that men in Pennsylvania shall have employ
ment. The proposition is, however, but a
logical consequence of the doctrine that gov
vernment should provide for the wants o
any class OF citizens.
