MEMPHIS APPEAL
prs,ox,,,oN OF CAPT. EAnS.


Wearied out with the perpetual spsffiing
Of creatures such as hate greatness and howl
in their mean way against genius, Capt.
E ,ds, the great benefactor of the Mississippi
valley, has finally resigned his position on
the Beard of the River Commission. The
5APPEAL deplores deeply the loss of
the services Of the observer and
thinker, who was the first to detect
and demonstrate the simple, yet impor-
tant laws that govern the long considered in.
applicable phenomena of the Mississippi
river. After long efforts TO win the ear Of
the people and to arouse the attention cf
Congress, he undertook to demonstrale the
accuracy Of his plans at the mouth Of the
Mississippi. Amid opposition OF the mean
eat character he succeeded, and at this day
we have 10 thank his istties for the increase
Of commerce upon the Mississippi river that
have followed the completion OF the jettis..
But this ia the smallest Of the obi Cations

plan Of the jetties is plan for the whole
river, and when those plans are accom-
plished, and q permanent ten-fOot chan
mel to st. Louis and six to St. Paul

continent the scene Of an immense traffic,
boats and barges in fleets will carry down
ward the productions Of the teeming West to
New Orleans for shipment TO various paris
Of the world, and returning distribute from
the land Of perpetual hoWsr4 to spots where
arctic cold prevails IN the winter, the pro.
ducts of every cline. Then, in the words
lately addressed 10 Capt. Eads By Gen. r. l..
Gibson, "a grateful people, from the jetties
to the headwaters Of the valley, will unite
10 erect some fitting memorial in honor Of
the great engineer who not only gave them
deep water TO the sea, but security against
the terrors Of the aoods." Capt. Eads has,
before now, two or three times, cent in his
resignation, but was prevailed upon 10 still
hold his position. This time, however, I'M
able 10 induce those around him 10 embrace
his bold ideas and carry them out conf
IDENTIFY as he had carried them cut himself,
boldly and uncompromisingly, in face OF the
discreditable opposition that were "biting
fles" in the intensity OF their bsfIlsI malice,

that owes him 80 much and that will per.
petuate his name and HE fame.

Criminal Calendar.

ST. LOUIE, April 2-Additional accounts
Of the scaEdslOus proceeding alleged against
Health Commissioner Francis, of this city, in
connection with a young lady with whom he
recently went 10 Chicago, are published. 1t
appears that the young lady attempted sui
eide few days ago with chloroform but was
restored after great difficulty, and she gives
an account OF their visit to Chicago, in which
she charges Francis with taking her money,
after speeding all his own, and with beating
her, and alleges that it was only at the point
OF pistol that she compelled him 10 give
her enough money 20 return home. She &C.
cuses him Of running her and threatens to
prosecute him. How much reliance could be
placed on these and other very damaging
statements which are circulating, cannot be
ssid; but it is ascertained that no charges
have been made against the commissioner to
the mayor and that no action has been aiken
looking 10 the removal of Mr.. Francis from
his high and responsible position 10 the city
government. Ldter.-Francis has rendered
his resignation, which has been accepted.

have been sagacious enough to dis
cover that If wages are 10 be sustained

Arrangements are now. making on a large
scale to call upon the next Congress 10 tax

capitalist will, Of course, object 10 anything
that will decrease the importation of foreign
labor; bat rs he asserta that the object Of

prefts, but the increase Of the workman's

be taxed in such way as TO decrease COM

anew HOWELL PROTECTION.

%" The protective tariff aystem has been sup.
ported all these years in the United States
upon the fiction that to maintain the wages
Of labor in this country at s. higher rate
than in Europe, it was necessary to secure a
rate of profit to the capital employing labor.
1t is strange that a palpable fallacy like this
should have blinded so many eyes for so long
time. To secure high wages by protecting
against competition, the protection should
have been made to bear upon foreign labor,
by taxing that labor when it entered The
United States; instead Of which the products
of foreign labor were taxed, go that the cap
italist could make good profit on the pro-
ducts made by home labor, while he could
add to tbs profit by importing foreign labor
untaxed, and by means of that labor
reduce the wages Of American Ia
Dor. 1t must not be understood that
the APPEAL advocates taxation Of
foreign labor coming to these shores; what
we mean is that if, for the maintenance Of
home labor a system of protection is to be
employed, then home labor should be pre-
tected against foreign labor, not capitalists
against the products Of foreign labor. By
protecting home labor, the home labor would
be Immediately affected, BY protecting the
capitalist home labor is left 10 struggle uu-
protected against foreign labor. Tariffs do
not regulate the net wages Of the workman,
and wages, when not kept down by convict or
other forced labor producing an abnormal
condition Of things, were higher IN this
country than in Europe before the protective
system was introduced, and are lower 10 dsy
in protected Germany than III unprotected
England. Why these things have been aud
are 20 it is easy TO understand. As long
"a the relative fewness OF laborers
causes a bidding of employers against
each other to obtain labor, wages
are comparatively high when German Ia
borers are bidding against each other to get
employment, he who asks the lowest wages
Is taken and wages fall. 1t is supply and
demand, not the tariff, that determines the
net wages of labor. Understanding this, We
can see where the fallacy Of the protection
system lies. The capitalist being protected
against the foreign exporter Is secure in hIs
profit, the workman not being protected
against the importation of foreign labor is
liable to have his wages reduced by the i'm
por.ation OF sufficient labor TO make the sup
ply Of Iaber larger than the demand, and 80
inducing one laborer TO bid against another
that he may secure work, though at lower
wages. Spite of protection, there is at this
time a widespread impression among
American Workmen that they do not get a
