LITTLE PRACTICAL SYMPA-
THY APPRnPRTlpE

THY APPROPRIATE,
There is q good deal of the hurrah in
political parties, good deal of whooping
the "boys" up, a good deal of frothing in
dignation at various acts OF political op-
ponents which often lacks the important
backing of earnestness; or rather, we
should say, OF practical character. Sever
al weeks ago whole band of Professors
were swept out OF Virginia college SIM
ply because they were Democrats. In a
lew weeks to come Other bands will be ex-
PEELED for the same cause. Yesterday in
the various Insane Asylums of the State
three corps of physicians trained in that
specially were expelled for the same rea-
son. and during the months to coIae the
minor employees of these institutions will
DO changed on similar grounds. The Dem.
0cratic party truthfully boasts that it
contains the bulk of the wealth, of the en-
terprise, OF the business men, and of the
men of affairs generally in the State. 1t
contains as compared with the Coalition
party the large majority of the employers
of the State and has the facilities for aid
ing men and the means for paying them.
For the Professors and Physicians who
are thus causelessly displaced there will be
q general and sympathetic indignation and
an active friendship to which no other cir
cumstances would have given such an i'm
petus; men of the first rank in their profess
sions, the same ability which FIRST attracted
attention to them will serve the same end
on their return to it. But there are of
those who will be deprived of the means Of
livelihood many men in humble but re-
spOnsiblo positions IN these institutions
who have not had and will not have the
way to secure public recognition of their
merit and it is Of them that we wish to
speak. They are poor men, but men OF
high principle who would accept nothing
by way of charity but would be glad of
honest employment. The men engaged at
these asylums in minor positions are only
those whose record has been closely scrut-
nized before they are employed and the
very fact that under :he rigid dis
cipline they have retained their places
shows that they are most valuable en-
ployees. It is for such men that we
bespeak the active good offices Of the De-
mocracy, as individuals not as party.
Their only fault has been that they
touched elbows at the polls with the great
mass of their white fellow-citizens; they
were only voters, not ward politicians
They have not this worlds riches, and
they should have the active sympathy OF
those who have. One man of this sort
helped to the earning Of livelihood is OF
more account than all the fierce denunci.
alton of Coalitionists and Malone men
that could be uttered in life time.

Bury Me in the Morning Mother. ,

Editors Ttndtcator:
In your interesting issue of 18th inst,
you published short poem BURY Me in
the Morning Mother" 1 have seen copy
which has one more stanza and which is
more beautiful than the first two, and lest.
you have not seen it, I will send it to you
"Never unclasp my hand, mother
Till 1t falls way from thine
Let me hold the pledge OF thy love- mother
Till feel the love Divine.
The love Divine: Oh! look, mother;
Above its form see
And there an angel fair mother
Is smiling down on me-
Then bury me in the morning, mother, SC.
No part OF a production which is so
heart-tOuching as this poem should be left
out, and this is my apology for sending
the Sd stanZa. Away off here in Missouri.
We read every thing, even to the advertise
ments in your paper for we are ''old fash
toned Virglnians," and love the dear old
State for aohat she aUas.
Respectfully,

wages Of mechanics in America and Eu-
rope" Let US SEE! We have on our desk
"Reports from the Consuls of the United
States on the Commerce, Manufactures,
etc.. of their Consular districts, December
1872 From the report of Consul Shaw
at Manchester, we gather that tho dissat-
isfaction among the cotton mill operatives
was being allayed by the plea that they
''are now receiving higher wages in pro-
portion to the time they work than Amer
lean operators. The hours tadds Secretary
Blaine) of the operatives in the Lancan-
shire mills are Sc hours in week, while
Massachusetts operatives work so and in
other New England Mills 66 to So hours.
In transmitting the consular reports on
labor in Europe when he was Secretary of
State in 1879, Hon. VIM. NJ. Evarts among
his conclusions said that ''the average
american aoorkman performs from one and
q halt to taoice as much soork as the average
European acorkna,s." The European work
man pays one third more for his food thar
his brother in America, while his Amti,-
per cent more for everything but food. LII
America workingman pays $500 for a
common alpaca dress for his wife, for
which the European pays only $3.50, and 81
ON through the list. At the end Of the year
the European has done less work and
saved the same money. The phantom OF
of pauper labor Of Europe is not so terri
| BILE after examination but it will still bs'
made an excuse for substituting certaiii
interests by Protection. The Protection
lst will welcome the pauper )aborer with
open arms to compete with the American
but is affrighted at the far off phantom OF
pauper labor. One actually competes
| when it comes) with the American labor
or; the other. which is not allowed to come,
is used as an excuse to get subsidy exacted
from the people at large through Protec.
tive tariff. The pauper laborer is allowed
to come SO that we may read reports like
that of Mr.. Arrott of the wages paid wool
en- and cotton workers in Philadelphia
which shows that the average wages in
1870 we're $446 per annum, while in the
aourishing year of 1880 they advanced
downward to only $315 per annum. The
pauper labor is kept at bay by the custom
house SO that we may read such reports as
that Mr.. Blank the great Iron King pays
taxes on an income of millions or that Mr.
x the great sugar king or coffee king has
just completed his marble palace.
Our contemporary suggests what it claims
to be the impossible picture of some mer-
chant in Stauntou establishing q monopoly,
and at a convenient season we hope to
take this picture and in the lights and
shadows of Protection give tho possible
customers of this impossible merchant
an elementary idea of what can be done
towards establishing such a monopoly.
