and enterprising OF French subjects -mer-
chants of capital, skilled manufacturers,
and handicraftsnlen, superior at the time
to all others in Europe. A considerable
number of these Huguenot French came
to America; few landed in New England
and became honorably prominent. in its
history. Their names have in large part
become anglicised, or have disappeared,
but their blood is traceable in many of the
most reputable families, and their fame is
perpetnated in honorable memorials and
useful institutions.
From these two sources, the English
Puritan and the French Huguenot, came
the late President-his father, Abram Gar
field, being descended from the one, and
his mother, Eliza Ballou, from the other.
1t was good stock on both sides-none
better, none drawer, none truer. There
was in it an inheritance of courage, of
manliness, of imperishable love of liberty,
of undying adherence to principle. Garfield
was proud of his blood; and, with as much
satisfaction as If he were a British noble
man reading his stately ancestral record in
Burkes Peerage, he spoke of himself as
ninth in descent from those who would not
endure the oppression of the Staarts and
seventh in descent from the brave French
Protestants who refused to submit to ty-
ranny even from the Grand Monarque.
General Garfield delighted to dwell on
these traits, and during his only visit to
England, he busted himself in discovering
every trace of his forefathers in parish re
gistries and on ancient army rolls. Sitting
with a friend in the gallery of thu House of
Commons one night aftera long days labor
in this field Of research, he said with evident
citation that in every war in which for three
centuries patriots of English blood had
struck sturdy blows for constitutional gov
eminent and human liberty, his family had
been represented. They were at Marston
Moor, at Naseby and at Preston; they were
at Bunker Hill, at Saratoga, and at Mon
mouth, and in his own person had battled
for the same great cause in the war which
preserved the Union of the States.

II may be. set Down as general truth
that American operatives themselves must
compete with foreign operatives in the
wage market There is no tariff levied on
laborers who seek our shores. The pro-
tected manufacturers of Eastern states
have even supplied themselves with labor
by importing Chinese, the cheapest skilled
operatives in the world. The present easy
and rapid means of emigration tends to
make labor, like commodities, generally
seek the same level IN all countries We
have not precisely reached the level OF the
Old World yet, but the scale is unquestion-
ably seeking a balance. The higher wages
paid in the United States, as indicated by
the amount of money given, does not truly
represent the remuneration of labor. It
costs more to live here than it does in
other manufacturing countries. The diffel-
ence between wages in this country and
in England is now apparent rather than
real. With our intimate intercourse with
that and all European states, there can re-
main no great disparity of condition among
the laborers of other countries. The great
tide of immigration pouring into the
United States, amounting to three quarters
of a million the past year, Great Britain
furnishing the greatest number after
Germany, makes the truth of this state
ment very obvious. A large amount Of
skilled labor is necessarily coming with
this influx of people. The favor in which
our popular institutions are held by the
laboring classes, especially those of the
better order will doubtless cause the move
ment of population to America to continue
reached.
The enormous growth of private fort
unes and corporate wealth IN the United
States since the adoption of the system
of high tariffs by the Republican party in
1851 is general proof of the fact that its
benefits have gone to capital and have
not been fairly shared by labor.
And so, no doubt. the system will con-
tinue to works.. Louis Republican.
