Music of the Poor.

In the economy of modern city life which
offers more and more diversion to the
people OF means, and less ana less diver
sion to the people without means, the peri
patctic haDti-organ is a not unimEortant
quantity. The sentiment that music ha tn
charms 10 soothe the savage breast" has
been generally accepted as a truism, and
its reforming influence upon people good,
bad and indifferent. rich and poor, in-
teIligeDt and Ignorant, is not disputed.
This being admitted, it would seem TO be
an iIl-advised movement to do anything
that might have effect TO deprive the
poor, around whom should be thrown all
the ameIiorating conditions possible, of
the only musical Enjoyment, except an
occasional brass baud, that comes in their
way.
For these reasons the recommendation OF
the Commissioners TO tax each itinerant
organ grinder ten dollars Annually must be
regarded as not in the right direction. The

Taking as text the above news dis
patch from Philadelphia, Capt. John
Goldman. the we'll known advocate of
free ships, writes: IF the permission
to import ships from abroad would
ruin all our shipyards why has not
the permission we have always had
from the tire when railroads were
first built in this country ruined all
our engine works? Is there more
skilled labor in building an iron steam
ship than there is in building an iron
locomotive? In fact, is not the skilled
labor in the former case very much
less? We began without let or him
drance to import railroad engines from
England to equip our railroads Then
we had to build shops to repair them,
and this led to building them. This
dispatch shows the result Philadcl-
phia is much further from Russia than
! is Glasgow or Newcastle. The freight
and insurance are consequently great
er, and yet the directors of the Siberian
Railway Co. send to Philadelphia for
their railroad cngnes-to Philadel-
phia. the city OF Mr.. Cramp, who went
to Washin yton last year and found
means to kill the free ship bill which,
but for his Vaccinations. would have
passed by a large majority.
"Congr ess. for some reason or other
took pity on poor Mr.. Cromp and
would not let his shipyard suffer.
With all Difference to Mr.. Cramp and
his associates, do not think that they
have all along consulted what would
be their own interests in opposing free
ships, and | know, aud SO does every
! body else who has given the subject
an UMPIRE JUDGED consideration, that
they and they alone have been the
cause Of the almost total annihilat ton
of the American merchant marine.
Had our governmental years past pur'
sued the same policy in regard to ships
that it pursued in regard to railroad
engines. we should to-day import nc
more Of the former than Of the latter
On the contrary, we should have al
least divided both the ship building
and the carrying trade with England
and probab bly, have surpassed her II
each OF them. There Is lesson IL

tives OF our own build are shipped u

that an adjournment will be had not
earlier than June /. The only snags

the way early. by agreement

it is expected that nothing will then
interfere with the continuous consid
