BEEcHEE AND THE LABoRISG CLASSES.
The Star. this morning, commenting on
Beecher's Philadelphia lecture urging the
admission of Cinnamon in order to bring
down the price of labor, says Beecher, with
his enormous income and aristocratic
church congregation, has not SO much re-
gard for the working classes.
Some years ago many papers and orators,
among the latter, Beccher, raised terrible
hue and cry over United States Senator
calling the lower strata OF laborers mud
sills," although the Senator explained he
meant only the humbest class OF laborers
Beecher's Ignorance Of political economy is
as striking as his want of sympathy with
the laboring people of his own race. The
country is most prosperous as well as most
contented and happy when the masses OF
the working people are vel! paid.
