Protection and the LabOringman.

The advocates of protection constantly
assert that it protects the laboring man and
increases his wages. Now, is this true?
Let us see. The price of labor in wages is,
like other commodities, subject to the law
of supply and I.demand; where labor is
scarce wages are high and vice Uersa.-
Therefore, protection, to benefit the labor
ing man of this country, must be of such
kind as to prevent too abundant supply
of laborers. Have We any such protection
or do the advocates of protection propose
that we shall have. Not at all. All pro-
tectionists, and the majority of them are
manufacturers, favor the free importation
of labor into this country, and thus facili-
tate surplus of labor, which results to
them (the manufacturers in low wages.
In this way, and in this way alone, is the
free labor Of this country brought into con-
flct with the pauper labor Of Europe, about
which the advocates of protection so loudly
harp Every part of this country is open
to the free importation of cheap labor and
vet the protectionists are DESTROYS of still
further increasing the burthens of our la
boring men by putting tax upon every
thing they use, the larger portion of which
goes to enrich the manufacturers at the ex-
pense of the laborer. So it will be seen
that the protectienist not only brings the
iaborer into direct contact with the cheap
labor of Europe, but furthermore reduces
the value of their wages by adding an in
creased cost to everything that the laborel
is forced to buy.
Read what Mr.. Cox recently said in the
House of Representatives in his speech Oh
the tariff -
ssYear after year, with a few spasmodit
exceptions, the condition Of labor in the
United States has been growing worse. Il
is harder for the maintenance of families
since high tariff legislation has been il
force. The employers have been growing
rich, 4he laborers poorer. There has never
in our industrial progress as nation, beer
time when the producing laborers in oul
mills, shops, and factories, more required
protection from tariff robbery, which fosters
monopoly, than the present"

AS the Petersburg Inder-Appeat says, if
the colored people would have the color line
destroyed, they must themselves aid in the
work of destruction. 1t cannot be done
by voting as a solid mass for any party.
Their interests, as race struggling against
the accumulated prejud;ces of ages, lie
clearly in making friends Of all parties.
Properly divided they have sufficient num-
bers to command the protection and res
pect of all parties. The vital question is.
will they use their power judiciously for
their own good, or will they be content to
play the part of eat-paws for designing pol

Lawyers deserve a word of defence. I,

Lawyers deserve word of defence. In
every land they are the pickets ahead of the
army OF citizens in the battle for human
rights. "They know their rights and know

what it ought to be, and the criminal classes
will no longer find himinvincible in conquer

system has been perverted from its original
design that thieves and murderers so fire.

Testimony of the Hon. Geo. D. Wise.

HE CoNTRADICTs HIS COUSIN JOHN s. WISE.
From the testimony given on Saturday
last by Hon. Geo. D. Wise before the Sher-
man committee investigating the Danville
riot, we copy the following
'sWitness submitted in evidence cir
cular appealing to colored men to vote solid
ly for the COalitionists; to avenge the MUIR
der of their fellows-five at Danville, and
one (Robert Robinson) in another place.
Witness said that Robinson was murdered
by colored thief Ia Readjuster,) and the
Richmond Wing admitted as much; not
withstauding which this circular was put
out. Witness described meeting of Dem
ocrats near which Coalition meeting was
in progress. A negro speaker mounted the
Democratic stand; upon which the other
meeting broke up and came over. One of
the CoalitiOnists assailed the negro speaker
with opprobrious epithets, and finally
mounted the stand and threatened violence,
which was, however, prevented by the wit
ness. Wherever an opportunity offered the
Coalitionists tried to break up the Demo
cratic meetings. John s. Wise had said he
knew ofnO instance where q colored man
had been misused by his race for voting the
Democratic ticket. Witness was surprised.
III III 4siSAbiOuu ~ WdS uOGOTlOuS bIctt buc
house of Abram Hall had to be guarded to
prevent its destruction and the murder of its
owner for his Democracy. Colored men
were instructed by their minister from whom
to take their tickets, and were threatening
with election from church if they failed to
obey. A man now in this building (Capi-
tol) had come to his room. He would not
give his name. 1t would not be safe for the
man. He came to witnesses room (not to
his kitchen) and said he wished to vote for
witness but could not because of threats to
which he had been subjected. Witness de-
scribed the Coalition speeches. Coalitioniste
asserted that the Democrats were advocates
of the whipping post and wished to destroy
the colored school-houses. John g. Wise
had stated that he was prevented from
speaking in Manchester, Va, by threats a.
gainst his life. Manchester was opposite
Richmond, and there was not more order
ly community anywhere. John Wise went
there whenever he ple:.sed."
