Necessity of Work.
[New York Journal of Commerce.]
Individuals may sometimes prosper
and grow rich without labor, but it is
uot so with the world at large. The
total wealth is the net product of labor,
after deducting what is consumed in
the course of production, and what is
destroyed by flood, fire, and the slower
process of decay. The moment that
the hand of industry ceases to keep
pace with these destructive forces, tlxe
world begins to grow poor. If the daily
waste of the body is not restored by
food, leanness and ultimate death en
sue.
It is a fortunate fact in political
economy that the majority of mankind,
when really convinced that this familiar
principle is of personal application to
themselves, will resort to the ne
cessary industrial means to escape dis
solution, however distasteful they
may be. The case of the young
man in St. Louis who was required
to choose between death and honest
work, and chose suicide, as mentioned
the other day in these columns, is phe
nomenal. Even between the devil and
the deep sea there is a choice. This
dissolute young man preferred the one,
but the majority, even of those to
whom work is odious, would rather ac
cept the other horn of the dilemma.—
We leave out of view, of course, in this
contrast, the class to which the world
owes the greater part of its prosperity,
namely, the men who despise ease, who
love progress, who do not consider la
bor a curse, but who find pleasure as
well as profit in honest work, and espe
cially in high endeavor. Tt is from the
active brains and hands of this class,
and not from the drones who love idle
ness, that we derive even the labor
saving machinery by which the general
wealth is so largely increased. The
idea of these inventions is not so much
to reduce our tasks as to increase our
possessions and enjoyments.
These are things which, as a rule,
must be earned. One of the most se
rious causes of trouble is the practical
unwillingness to recognize this fact.
Au ignorant portion of the operative
claU think they are entitled to a share
of the increased wealth produced by
labor-saving machinery, though they
have contributed neither capital nor
labor to the increase. This peculiar
notion adds to the strength of the
eight-hour labor movement, which is
au attempt to alter the natural laws
governing production and consumption,
or supply and demand. How much
this attempt has to do with the present
paralysis of industry cannot be deter
rained, perhaps, with the degree of cer
tainty felt by a Wolverhampton coal
and iron master who, at a recent meet
ing of the Iron Trade Consultation
Board, said that all the difficulties now
surrouuding the iron trade arose out
of the eight-hours’ working time in the
collieries. But he had a solid argu
ment with which to support his propo
sition, for he said that his firm was
compelled to employ nearly 700 col
liers to do the work before done by 500.
The difficulty consists in converting the
equivalent of five hundred suits of
clothing, pounds of meat, and quarts of
beer, without additional labor, into
seven hundred suits, pounds, quarts
and articles of necessity or luxury for
a miner’s household. Nothing less than
the miraculous power which produced
food for five thousand out of the loaves
and fishes is competent to work this
miracle, and the men who fold their
hands and compel their fellows to fold
their hands, iu order to wait for its
accomplishment, will have weary wait
iug until two added to two no longer
make four. Meanwhile the general
wealth and ability to pay wages is
daily diminished by the amount these
idlers consume and do not restore by
labor. It is estimated that the amount
lost to the Pennsylvania coal region by
the recent strike was equal to ten mil
lions of dollars. The wages fund con
templated by some political economists
was therefore diminished to this ex
tent. Who is going to lose this great
sum, finally? Those who pay wages
cannot escape a share of the loss, but
the bulk of It must fall on those who
live by wages. If it was suffered by
none but such as were guilty of the
waste, there would be less to lament;
as it is, it is much harder to contem
plate with serenity the loss of these
ten millions, through bigoted ignor
ance and folly, than the ten millions
aud above a quarter which imperfectly
measures the destruction by fire iu
the United States and Canada,
during May, with six millions
and upwards added on top of that for
the month of June. Destruction by
fire is generally inevitable-at any rate
not willful—and the workers in the so
cial hive go cheerfully to work to re
pair inevitable damage as well as to
earn the right to future increased store
of honey. The “tramp” question is
troubling the rural districts—that is to
say, the question what to do with the
sturdy beggars who traverse the coun
try and levy a support on households
from which the male protectors are ab
sent. The answer in this, as in the pre
vious case considered, is to be found in
the apostolic command, if a man will
not work, neither shall he eat. The
rule is capable of general application
as a measure of the quantity of the
good things of this life to which a man
is entitled. It is simply what he earns.
If anybody gets more, it is merely his
good luck, and not his right.
Ohio. —Hon. Wm. D. Kelley has re
turned from Ohio, in consequence of a
sore throat, which prevented further
public speaking on his part. The Nash
ville Union cud Amei'ican reports that
he has not a doubt of Allen’s election.
He talked with men who had never
voted for a Democrat since the Repub
lican party was formed, but who were
supporting Allen on account of the
currency plank in the Democratic plat
form; and since he reached home he
has received letters from others of the
same political antecedents who express
a like determination.
People who injure us always say they
do so for our good.
The Washington Chronicle and the
Issues of 1876 —Some Nuts for the
Republican Organ to Crack.
The Republican organ at the seat of
the Federal Government, in its issue of
the 19th inst., exhibits some adroitness
in its attempt to mislead the public as
to the great and real issues in the po
litical contest to come off next year—
the centennial of the announcement of
those essential and foundation princi
ples upon which all the free institu
tions of this country are based, and
from which all its progress, as well as
glory and renown, have sprung. This
able exponent of the acts and policy of
the Party in Power, in two branches of
the Government —the Senate and Ex
ecutive —proclaims that the great issue
iu the coming canvass will be the doc
trine of Secession. The Democratic
party in the Southern States, this
champion of consolidation maintains,
“is organizing” upon this doctrine.
Hear him: “ Every secessionist, North
“ and South, is in accord with the
‘ party. The country may as well un
“ derstand the issue. The South, with
“ its allies iu the North, defeated in
“ the field, propose to renew the con
“ test at the ballot-box, and the battle
“isto be fought all over again. This
“ will be the grave issue of 1876, and
“in our centennial year, while the
“ people should be engaged iu re
“ joicing over our national progress,
“ they are to be confronted with the
“ hideous dogma that a government
“ of forty millions of people, the freest
“ aud best upon earth, holds the exer
“ eise of its powers subject to the will
“ of each separate State ; for this, in
“ its entirety, is the doctrine of States
“ Rights.”
This assertion by the Washington
organ, that “ the entirety of the doc
trine of States Rights” consists in the
principle that the Federal Government
“ holds the exercise of its powers sub
ject to the will of each separate State,”
is the more remarkable from the fact
that at the last Republican Presidential
Nominating Convention, that party dis
tinctly declared the powers of the Gen
eral Government were notODly “dele
gated ” but “ limited ; ” aud that all
powers not so delegated were reserved
rights of the States. We give the sub
stance of the resolution. If that reso
lution was true, does “ tlxe entirety of
States Rights” consist in the doctrine of
either Secession or Nullification as iu
timated by the Chronicle ?
But when, asks the Washington or
gan, have the Southern States ever
abandoned this doctrine of Secession ?
This is a strange question coming from
the source it does. Was it not aban
doned as a practical remedy against
Federal wrongs on the surrender of
Confederate armies? Was this not
abandoned by them as a practical mode
of remedy when they abandoned the
conflict of arms to maintain it, and re
sumed their obligations under the Con
stitution ? The pertinent question is
was that act performed in good faith?
We maintain that it was and further
assert that every act of every Southern
State since shows that it was done in
good faith. If the Republican organ at
Washington wishes to join issue with
us on this point, let him do it. Amidst
all the wrongs perpeti’ated against the
people of the Southern States since
they so resumed their obligations
under the Constitution, not a single
act on the part of a single one of them
can be cited to throw the slightest sus
picion against the good faith with
which that resumption was made. But
we ask our contemporary at the Federal
City upon what grounds he founds his
statement that the Democracy of the
South ai’e “organizing” to present the
issue of Secession at the polls in 1876 ?
Where is the slightest evidence of auy
such act or purpose?
This statement of the Chronicle Is but
the adroit way of a wily antagonist to
divert popular attention from the real
and true issue which evei'y sound
Democrat in the Union, whether at the
South or not, is organizing to present
iu the great centennial anniversary
year of the Birth of American
Free Institutions. That issue is not
whether a State had or has the right
to secede, but whether the States sev
erally have not some reserved rights
under the Constitution, and whether
these reserved rights shall or shall not
be respected iu the admtaistration of
the Federal Government? In other
words, the issue which the Democracy
present involves the question whether
the Government of the United States
is a Federal one, with specific and
limited powers, or whether it is a con
solidated, centralized empire ? We be
lieve the editor of the Washington
Chronicle, with many 7 of the chief
leaders of his party, holds that side of
this issue which denies that the States
possess any rights except such as are
subject to the will and pleasure of the
Centralized Head ; that the Centralized
Powers at Washington have the abso
lute right, if they please to do so, to
govern the States and all their internal
affairs, “in all cases whatsoever,” and
that the States have no reserved rights
under the Constitution whatsoever!
This is exactly the Tory doctrine of
Lord North towards the rights of the
British Crown and the Colonies of 1776.
Now the issue of the Democracy, In
1876, is not Secession or Nullification,
but the simple question of Constitution
alism against Centralism. If we are
wrong in supposing or believing that
our contemporary at Washington is on
the side of Centralism iu this issue, he
will do us a favor by disabusing our
mind of the error, which now rests
upon it in this particular. If he holds
that the States severally have any re
served rights whatever, under the Con
stitution, which are not subject to the
absolute control of the Federal Gov
ernment, he will please name them.—
The issue the Democratic party pre
sents is founded on the principles upon
which our Government, State as well
as Federal, was founded. These prin
ciples are as broad as the Union and
as imperishable as the Spirit of Liber
ty itself 1
Tt costs about $3,000 more per an
num to supply the White House with
fuel under Grant than it did under
Lincoln. This would seem to indicate
that the more whiskey a man drinks
the harder it is to keep him warm.
New Books.
Playing the Mischief. A Novel. By J-
W. Be Forest. Harper & Bros., New
York.
Mr. De Forest is a brilliant writer,
and one of the very cleverest of Ameri
can novelists. There is a fi’eshness in
bis style and a brightness in his wit
which makes dulluess on any page im
possible. His latest venture is in no
sense inferior to other popular works
which preceeded it.
Ward or Wife. A Romance. Harper
Bros., New York.
Very sensational and very “Frenchy,”
but full of love and sparkle.
Miss Angel. By Miss Thackeray. Har
per & Bros., New York.
Miss Thackeray has inherited the
genius of her illustrious father, aud
now stands in the front rank of con
temporaneous English novelists. She
has taken for her heroine the cele
brated and unfortunate Angelica
Kauffman, and woven about her a halo
of glory aud romance. The parapher
nalia and peculiarities of a past gen
eration are kept with admirable pre
cision and fidelity, just as her sire
lovingly painted the times of Queen
Anne. This book is the reflex of a
noble spirit and a highly cultivated
mind. There is a graceful humor, as
well as tender pathos, pervading it,
while the shades of character display
the skill of a mistress of art.
Nooks and Corners of the New Eng
land Coast. By 8. A. Drake. Harper
& Brothers.
This is a splendid volume superbly
illustrated. Mr. Drake has compiled a
volume which _will be placed alongside
the cherished volumes of the land
whose coast scenes he so graphically
and charmingly depicts. The New Eng
land people are wonderful iu their men
tal and material energy, and they have
never lacked men of commanding talent
to assert their distinctive traits and
claims to immortality. \Ve should say
that this book of Mr. Drake’s would be
dear to a New England man in any part
of the world, and it is likewise a valu
able contribution to tlxe common his
tory of the whole county.
Messrs. Quinn & Pendleton have our
thanks for copies of the above publi
cations.
A Republican victory iu Ohio will
strengthen the inflation element in that
party to its own ruin, and the Democrats
should not stand in the way. But if the
Pendleton crowd carry the State they will
ruin the Demociatic party in 1876 just as
they did in 1863. If the party is beaten in
Ohio this Fall it will be by Demoei’ats who
will do it for the party’s good. And the re
sult will be so interpreted.— Baltimore Ga
zette.
The defeat of Allen, in Ohio, would
be an evil day for the Democracy. The
Pendleton “ crowd ” did uot ruin the
party in 1868. The New York malcon
tents did more in that direction than
anybody else. The Democratic people
of Ohio are fighting the battle against
Radicalism. We hope they will win,
and believe the chances are all iu their
favor. Let Maryland Democrats take
care of themselves and leave their Ohio
brethren at liberty to make the cam
paign in their own way. The flank
movement of the Gazette may succeed
in breeding discord and defeat, but the
deuce take the method of backing
friends adopted by our Baltimore con
temporary.
