in capital The number Of employ

CORPORATIONS AND THEIR EMPLOYEES.

The secret of Carl SChurZ's withdrawal
York Ecening Post was the difference of
opinion between himself and his colleagues
on the subject of capital and labor The
attitude taken by the Post during the grca'
telegraph strike of last summer, was, 1t will
be remembered, favorable to the corpora
tions to such degree as to provoke quite Il
storm of public indignation, and cal
forth the most CALLING criticisms OF its con
temporaries. 1t vas generally supposed
that Mr.. Carl SChurZ, who was at that time
| thought to be the managing editor OF the
Post, was the author OF these Of
fensivc editorials on the SIDE of capital against
labor But it now appears that Mr.. Schurz,
instead Of being accountable for them, was
not only wrpnged by being cha ged with
their authorship, but tina, he strcuu ,usly op-
posed their insertion in the paper, and was
only prevented from excluding them by the
united will Of his associates. The final re-
suit was that Mr. Schurz retired from tho
Post ana now, in order t. Vi dictate himself,
he has removed ali d lubt as t. the + ason for
that step by publishing in The NoYM 1meri-
can Reoitto an article taking up exactly the
opposite side of the question from that adyo.
Gated by the Post.
The article, which il tn l'llnG paper IN
the February Number of the North American,
is devoted toa able aud careful consideration
Of the suffice, from three slandpolnts, that OF
the corporation, the employc aud the public.
While he treats each with eqal fairness, The
writer's sympathy with the lAboring class,
as well as the intrinsic merit, OF tbs ease,
lead him to advocate "A more just balance OF
advantage in the relations he'wecn employer
and employc. He begins by admitting that
there is a difference between tha "slrikcs"

those employees Of men or corporations carry

LIFE AND LABOR IN ENGLAND.

An extremely interesting and valuable doc
umcnt is a recent report of Gen. L. A. Mer-
rift on the cost Of labor and living in Great
Britain There is, all accounts agree in say
ing, extreme poverty and distress among the
laborlng classes there; and this is due, Gen.
Merritt thinks, to the low wages which they
receive wages which are in most cases.
such as tie employer chooses to pay, the
aborer as I rule b,ing helpless from the fact
Of his inability to change his residence and
to seek other employment. The existing de-
preston in the iron, Steel and coal industries
presents discouragng outlook for the flu
ture, In many localities laborcrs arc work
ing at starvation wages us matter of nee
esslty, while employers are calculating losses
rather than gains. The labOreIs in these in
iustrieS are at this juncture demanding an
increase Of Is per cent, which The employ
RS decline to accede to, claiming that they
lave been losing money for the past year,
ven at present prices.
Furthermore, Gen. Merritt says that in and
near many of the manufacturing centers a
most distressing state Of affairs has for long
period Of time existed among the the lower or
Ia oring classes, which condition has in fact
become chronic. Each succeeding generation
nherits this chronic state or condition togeth-
or with its unhappy characteristic traits
of thought and life. Born to poverty acCus.
toned to squalOr aud bred amid indecent sur
rJundings they became Injured to them and
viii propagate them as The creatures of the
Inglcs do their species, The better classes
i these localities have to some extent become
awakened to the necessity Of adopting phil
enihropic measures for improving the moral
AID social conditions Of these Inflated people
and some progress is being made in the way
of emcliurating their wretChcd condition.
The trouble is further due to n number of
cguses-ihc o. casional closing OF the mills or
rInuing On half ur two thirds time, sickness
an drunkenness. These together decreasJ
the average earnings Of all trades about 7
PER cent During the prevalence Of high
wages IN the COLI ries in 1873 the Npthum-
bcf!snd union association kept careful &C
e vat of tho time lost on account OF drunken
~ IS among the miners in the Tyne district,
wa!ch was set down at % per cent.
o tie enormous extent OF the lq.
urr traffic in Great Britaiu some
h.ur,s collected lay the United King
DIN Alliance will give an idea. Last year
1870 600 licenses FOR the sale Of drink were
issued. It is true tina. many of these licenses
were taken out by people whose sale of liz
u1r is mere adjunct to their ordinary bust
ness but this class rs more than cpunttrbll-

RECIPROCITY WITE MEXICO.

The reciprocity treaty negotiated with
Mexico by Gen. Grant and S1u,r Romero
was defeated in the Senate on Friday. BY
an article Of the treaty, the time within which
it must lie ratified expired on Sunday, and
hence, though n motion to reconsider the
vote by which it was defeated was entered,
and though the Senate, adopted an amend
meul providing that the time for ratifYiug
The treaty shall be extended six months, it
does not look at present, as II The treaty
would lie ratified. The treaty, ia effect,
secures immunity for American goods from
State duties in Mexico--at present onc of
the most burdcpsomc restrictions OF com.
meTcc between the two Countries II adj
mits into Mexico, free Of duty, many i'm
poltaut manufactures. On the other hand
only two articles are put Oh the free list, so
far.as duties Oh articles imported Ivy Us are
concerned. These are sugar and tobacco. \
curious difference of opinion was shown
by the vote in the Senate Thu. Senator
Edmunds voted for the treaty and Senator
Morrill, against it, and Maine, Rhode Is.
land and Georgia are said f. have each
given q vote for and against the treaty.
New York was solidly for il. Penn.
sylvauia was of course unitcdly against il.
The opponents Of the treaty were the Louis
lana sugar interests; some of the sugar re.
hners; the tobacco men Of Pennsylvania
and of the Connecticut Valley; many pro.
tectionists who were against the treaty on
general principles those who were of opin-
ion that the treaty did not offer sufficient ad
vantages to the United States, giving more
| to Mexico than that country surrendered ic
US; some OF the Senators from the agricul
tural States who opposed the treaty because
! they did not think it treated the live stOcl
interest fairly in not permitting .hc free ex
poltation to Mexico of live stock, except fo
breeding purposes and some of the anti
monopolists who thought that the treaty dis
eliminated in favor of the railroad in Mexico
| The Washington correspondent of the New
York Eren'ng Post says: "Those who hav
given the subject the most atteuton are 0
the opinion that this will be the end Of at
tempts at reciprocity for another long period
1t seems probable that, even if this treat,
had been ratified, it might not have prove,
Of any immediate benefit to this country
The ratification was in the control Of tn
Senate, but it was necessary thst the Hous
should share in the framing Of the laws nee
essary to put it into operation, and from til
present temper of the House, it is very evj
dent that no such laws could have been cnaC
ted while the dominant party WAS preparn
the draft of a bill for general revision q
the tariff"
