INFAMOUS SZ4TU7ES

IT is less than year, since the good people of this country were hor- rifed by the revelations through the Pall Mall Gazette of abominations and atrocities perperta tated by wealthy brutes and titled scoundrels against innocent female childhood in the great English metropolis, that would put to shame the veriest savage. And the darkest side of the picture was, that English law permitted these worse than beastly outrages, affording no protection to the youthful victims. Of course we congratulated ourselves that not being English we were not forced to blush for our nationality. But how were our feelings shocked, and our pride of country humiliated, to learn that the laws of our Republic in regard to these matters were worse even then those of England.

 What a mockery of all sense and justice! In regard to every other matter a minor IS recognized in every State as incapable of deciding and acting for herself and is entitled to legal protection,-but in this, the most important of all, the law affords her none. This condition of our statutes should afford serious matter for reflection, by all decent and human people or rather they should not wait for reflection, but demand their instant amendment.
 Whose children are ruined by means of these nefarious laws? Not the little daughters of the rich, they are carefully guarded and shielded from all necessity of self protection, but l. l is the daughters of the poor, who at a tender age have to go out into the world of work where they are sur rounded by influences and tempta- lions with which their immature and inexperienced minds are not equal to cope, and to which they should not be exposed. The mass of females working outside of their homes, are young girls usually under the direc- tion and control of men, often men of no moral principle: and surely, i any class need the protection of law it is this,-this, the only class de, prived of 1t.

ONE of our contemporaries, allud- ing to the new process of making steel, and the substitution of the new steel rail for the old iron ones, by which change thousands of men have been thrown out of work, despairing- ly adds, "What Is the end to be of these constant advances in the use of machineryY There are but two ways in which it can end ;-either half of the people must die off by starvation if not supported by charity, or else the workers must cooperate, possess themselves of the means and machinery for setting up business to- gether. If capitalists cannot be made to see the wisdom and necessity of joining with them, the Government must see to it, and loan them from the vaults of an overfowing treasury, so as to set the wheels of industry in motion. The sooner it is understood the better, that willing industry is not going to be driven to the wall, or thrust into an alms-house.

TIE English House ot Commons

THE English House of Commons consists of nearly foo members. A motion Tn it to abolish hereditary peerage was defeated akw days since, by . vote of only 36. Such a significant vote indicates that aristoc- racy or the house of lords, in Eng land is nearing its end; while in this country the anstocfacy, and our house of lords, the Senate, is growing stron- ger. Not hereditary peerage, it is true, but one more to be be depreca- ted. for it holds its tenure by the pos ession of unearned wealth.

THE author of stCIass. Interests, :" a work of which we have spoken in last week thus describes the way by which monopolies are. created without franchises from the State:
 Tie usual proceeding is for a few. of them to form combination and then undersel till the weaker are compelled to quit business, sell out, or come into the ring. If opposition starts on principle of competition, it is beaten in like manner, absorbed, or driven from the field This is done by the law that rules among beasts in the forests, except that among men there is greater power of combination than among beasts; but the result is the same, the crushing out of the weaker and less fortunate It is only a new form of the laws of might, and under it is no recogni- tion of a moral law among men other than prevails among brutes. It is Darwinism competition and the freedom of contract are cDnspicious against the public-forms of misdoing for which there should be some remedy 7
 Then the author argues that there can be no efficient remedy except through Government interference. He says:
 A nonresident association may do to take the initiative, but must have power to enforce it's decrees for any efficient final action, They have not the bayonet, it is true. to compel obedience, but they have sometimes means at their disposal which necessarily partake of the nature of force since they may coerce by social and moral instrumentalities.' y
 The boycott for instance. Still, he thinks redress can be permanently achieved only through the law, and cites the Changers whom the Iawless railroads laughed to scorn, till the Changers made themselves felt through the strong arm of the State. If manufacturing rings and common carriers act under the power of tine State to carry their ends, why may not thelr customers whom they tax, consistently appeal to the State for protection? The extreme self-seeking of class interests, and the successes ot interruptions greed, have tainted the whole social body till the Govern ment itself has come to be regarded very largely as useful mainly in the opportunity it affords for jobs. If the people cannot so correct the action of Governmental machinery as to make 1t efficient for their aims, they cannot by any voluntary means effectually counter act the corrupt and selfish use of State machinery by strong and interruptions men. We repeat, if we are forbidden to resort to the Government for redress and correction, no redress or correction Is to be had.
 The fore going gives but a hint of theeSery able arguments of the author, for politiciaf action by the weaker classes to secure them from the op- pression of the more powerful.

THE GIANT IS 4 AWAKIlVG.

While with fearful apprehension for years past, we have noted the rapid strides of monopolistic power, and the aggregation of wealth in the hands of the selfish and tyrannical few, who have grasped the reins of Govern ment, and converted 1t with all its vast powers into mere machine to facilitate the schemes of these ''hnan- cial freebooters," and the while have seen with sad discouragement the toilers, seemingly so minimizing that nothing short of the crack of doom could arouse them, while patiently working on, and Capital, link after link wound it's chains around their necks-we say the present aspect in contrast is like the dawn, of Hope awaking from the night of Despair. Labor is rousing like young giant and shaking off it's letters. There is simultaneous rising of the people from ocean to ocean, and from the lakes to the gulf, all inspired by one earnest thought-the stamping out of oppression and the inauguration of justice, equity, and fraternity. The people are coming en masse, like the white crested waves of the ocean rolling in upon the space, and joining hands under the shield of the great Order of the Knights of Labor which is heralding the era of universal brotherhood, where "an injury to one becomes the concern of al"
 This is a glorious epoch in which to live-one in which we can see the rapid evolution of forces, long gathering in the moral world, now concentrating their powers to effect a general transition in the social state, "a transition from the law of hate and competition to that of love and cooperation.
 But there is no force in nature without an accompanying resistance, and these resisting forces now, are old modes of thought and practice in everything, old ideas in the science and administration of government.
 But this opposition must and can be subdued by the wise, persistent, de termination of the people, and the Government must be rescued from the grasp of the oligarchists, not by violence and rebellion. but by the resistless power of moral forces ir concert acting through the ballot. {

WE think that Manning Cleveland & Go. with the1r packers or rather masters in Wall street, have found such determined resistance to their schemes by the men of the West and the South, without regard to party, that they will abandon their war upon silver coinage, through which they hoped to contract the currency and thereby increase the value of bonds and other evidences of debt. But they are efecting the same purpose in another way-by retiring small bills, and issuing the same amount as required by law, in denominations of $500 and 1000, or larger bills, which Is practically the same as withdrawing that amount from circulation. But the time is coming when the voters will teach the men they plaGe-ia pew CT that they are the servants of the people-their agents and not their masters and enemies to wage war upon their interests and to defeat their wishes.

HONOR TO WoRKMEN.

Whom shall we call our heroes
 To whom our praises sing The pampered child of fortune,
 The titled lord or king They live by others laber.
 Take all and nothing give. The noblest types of manhood Are they who work to live. Who spans the earth with iron And rears the palace dome? Who fashions for the rich man The comforts of his home 1t is the patient toiler,-
 All honor to him, then The true wealth of a nation
 Is in her workingmen. For many barren ages
 Earth hid her treasures deep. And all her giant forces Seemed bound as in a sleen: Then labor's ssanvil chorus's Broke on startled air, And loi the earth in rapture Laid all her riches bare. Iris toll that over nature Gives man his proud control: And purifies and hallows The temple of the soul: It scatters foul diseases
 With all their ghastly train, Puts iron in the muscle
 And crystal in the brain. The grand Almighty Builder Who fashioned out the earth Hath stamped his seal of honsr r On labor from her birth. In every angel flower
 That blossoms from the sod, Behold the master touches, The handiwork of God.
