Il would lw time Judiciously spent if the lenders of the people could he indneod to l oiithler the verdict of History In the case ot Policy vs, Uiglit If one evil more than another, endangers our liberties mid pros pnity as a nation, it Is the evil of policy. We proceed upon it. Our nationsl phil osophy Is expediency, We have become a nation of i>cciUator and nothing, from tin constitutional basis of'the government up. is looked upon asllxcdund |iermanent, The feeling of unrest underlies all, and makes us hypocrits. If History teaches at all at this point, the lessen is, that the cud is destruction. Justice no sooner retires from a people, from the laws and adminis tration, than disintegration and anarchy begin, and must continue until the bond of cohesion is utterly broken. Herbert Hpencer quotes Napoleon as saying that “There is no power without justice.” And this, after his wonderful and seemingly successful career His sn gaclty, forethought, and even statesman ship, were not questioned in his day, nor even now. Hut his guides proceeded on expediency, or what is popularly known as "policy.” It uiuatered him, and, hi the end, made ldtn weak as other men. Since the close of the war, the south ern part of our country, being subdued, bankrupt, and laid waste, lias been a broad Held of government speculation A "pol icy" was immediately bom to rule over us Wo were put, so to say, upon trial. Maailost and simple justice demanded the return of tights mid privileges upon our return to loyalty ; but "policy" re quired the iudeflhilte suspension of these to be granted w hen a certain ill debited result of good behavior should he estab lished This "policy" required for its active prosecution innumerable tests, ulds, expe dients intended to try our temper und louden our loyally to tin- dominant form of guveruiucnt. The result Is almost per manent csttnugfinriil Oltr people have conic lo look upon every net of the gov ernment as poHscsaiug a secret spring of of evil intended for us and our section. Insecurity Is the one universal feeling— the cohesive power, if it can lie o con eel ved Now, nil this i-onu-a ol “policy."

"Quite right,” says Nancy , hut ‘ Quite wrong," flays the leaders of our dissutisUed chaps.

I’erliaps they nil thought I looked vieious as I stood there chiselling away at a mortice, and making such a row with my mallet —o’ purpose, you know —that they could hardly hear themselves speak. Well, we sat talking a lone time, the w ife and I did, and anything but cheer fully, for we knew what strikes meant dre-ry days, empty pockets, ill-temper, hare cupboards, landlord saying he must have the'rears of rent, pawn shop, and a general feeling of misery und dissatisfac tion.

"Ah !" says Tommy Winder, in one of his speeches, "it was time that masters were taught what the men are made of. They have their wealth, and their grand places, and servants to wait upon ’em, und it all comes of the sweat of our brows.— Men, fellow-workers, and celrer, we ll he slaves no longer!” 1 told Nancy what he said, and she called it “stuff,” and duriug the two long months of misery and privation that fol lowed, we two went into the matter wel! together, and 1 think she put it about right when she said that workmen were driving employers of labour to invest their money —savings often it might he—in oth er wftys, for they were beginning to feel themselves more aud more at the mercy of their men's whims and caprices That if we two had the good luck to scrape to gether a hit of money, and said we would go into trade, vvliy, we had a right to ex pect a good fair profit out of our men's earnings , and as for them, the world was open to any sharp fellow to push his own way, and make liis own position if he was dissatisfied with his station, hut not to join in trying to force masters to pay at a high er late, when a stoppage of the work would, through its being a contract, bring on great losses.

Hut I won't tell you of the pale, hollow checked wives and Blaring eyed children, and the gaunt, hungry men, who looked cveu wolfish at the Tommy Winders of tho party, who spouted away about rights of man and anti slavery, till they were hoarse. 1 only know that there were those present at sonte of the meeting s that were ready to gnaw their own hearts with misery at what iiad been brought upon them, aud who would have gladly worked had not the Society said “No surrender! ’ and regularly driven them away As 1 says to Nancy, the lirst night after I had done loallng about, and had once more taken a good grip of a tool, “ Lord, Nancy 1 says, what a treat it is to feel as the drops want wiping off your face!" "Ah, Dick !" she says, "you wore never cut out for a striker.
