OF the mechanic has improved with the
improvement of productive machinery,
He cannot comprehend that the more the
employment of the forces of nature is in
creased the more the eff of the primal
curses are taken from the race, and the
worker is pushed upward by the thing thai
takes his place, not downward. He will
not see that as the power of producing in
creasee, the necessities and iuxuries oil
life grow cheaper. He does not know
that to destroy wealth in any shape is to
lessen the surplus out of which labor is to
be put at work and paid. He acts on the
narrow, selfish notion that the machine IS
the rival of the workman since it performs
his tasks, and that to destroy the machine
is to make room for the artisan. We
should be sorry to believe that this class
of machine breakers. so much out OF
place in this generation,is very large. The
Communism which looks forward 10 a
dream to the perfection and equality Of
the race and the emancipation of all men
from dlsagreeable labor is more hopeful
than this utter stupidity which aims at the
relegation of men to all drudgeries. -

THERE is little respect paid to his

inscribing upon walls and stones and
pIanks what he would say to mankind,
and yet the pen and pencil of the

Ink was paint q, d his writing was
neither better nor worse than that
executed with the shippers marking
pot and brush. "Black leadn is of
modern utility and it is not lead, but
pure carbon, having not the remotest
affinity to lead. In fact, the substance
with which editors write almest exclu.

count for the brilliancy OF thoughts

magistrate of his State, ;position once
vainly sought by Jeffersn Davis, and
often held by men the rers of Jeffer-

as the regular Greenback organizations,
and the Texas Convention will do like
wise. The Texas delegation IN Con-
gross, excepting Schleicher, 90 as far

Texas is opposed to the Greenback

the light of national policy, and not

pointed or anxious politicians, and
hence we are at less to know why

Mr.. SECRETARY SIItRMAN expects 10
capture Congress at the next elections
because each Republican candidate will
have two competitors; one, Green
backer; the other, democrat. The
people should beware. Personal ambi-
tion of individuals should not be suf-
fered to transfer the control of Con-
gress to bondholders. Relief from
present insuffersble evils could then
only come of strikes first to be merged
finally into revolution, anarchy, des-
potism, and after this the pure repub-
lie of the fathers. It were wiser to re-
store the government we have to Its
original condition thin to destory and
reconstruct it.

WE are told bY a we'll known raj

WE are told by well known rail-
road manager of the East that there is
every reason to believe that Tom
Scott's railway bill in its present shape;
having no branches, will be enacted.
Most Of the great corporations of the
East, and merchants trading with
Asia and with California, are exerting
their influence in behalf of Scott, and
for the simple reason that freight and
rates on the Uuion and Gen.
trail Pacific lines are intolersble. The
tea and silk trade of China and japan,
which, not long ago, crossed the COM
tinent from San Francisco to New
York and was thence transferred to
London and Paris, has been driven
back to its old route across the 18TH
mus or sround the Horn by the terri
BILE ex actions imposed by existing trans
continental lines. To these facts and
to influences exerted by railway man
agers and commercial houses of the
East is ascribed that change in the
conduct and opinions of Congress as
suring Scott and Governor Brown Of
finsl triumph. But this would be i'm
possible II the road left Texas for St.

Whilst Throckmorton has been the
author Of the railroad system Of Texas,
that of giving alternate sections TO
railways, reserving every other section
for the establishment Of free schools,
he has never been the advocate of SUBJ
sides which imposed taxes upon the
people and created debts against the
State. The exceptionable circumstan-
ces under which the original subsidies
were granted to the International and
the Texas and Pacific are known to
all well-informed persons. He took
no part In them, but was notably op-
posed to them. When the bill was
pending to grant $4,000 per mile
to the Southern Pacific and Trans
Continental lines, he wrote to the
members then representing his county,
counselling opposition, but suggesting
that if it were impossible to defeat the
measures, to attempt their modifica-
ten so that the Safe would have the
right to substitute lands for the bonds,
wheR it should see proper to do sc.
This provision, upon its suggestion.
was inserted in the law, and afterwards
the matter was adjusted by the sub
stitution of lands for bonds. Ia this
last transaction he acted as attorney
for the railroad company. No one
will deny that he thus served the State
well while even the attorney of the
railroad, for the lands were accepted
in lieu of the bonds. AS to the Inter
national subsidy or railroad, he was
never in any wise connected with 1t. He
meyer advocated or favored any me- asure
to give bonds or money co any railroad,
and it is upon this point that he has
been more persistently misrepresented |
than any man in the State. His whole |
effort has always been to relieye the |
State in any honorable way from all |
luch legislation, and his opponents are
to point to a single effort,
word, speech or line from him that has
favored any such legislation. He has
1t all times labored to relieve the State
rom unjust and oppressive legislation,
lud he will ever be found favoring
what he conscientiously believes will
promote the material interest of Texas.
