2 THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAFI1 PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, JUNE 20, 1870. crmiT or ins muss. Editorial Opinions of the Leading Journal! upon Current Topic Compiled Every Day for the Evening Telegraph. STRIKES AND TIIE ASIATIC ELEMENT. From the A'. 1'. Beratd. The eoriwainers in Massachusetts have put their foot in it. They hare struck for .higtier wagon; and what is the result? The shoe manufacturers telegraph to China or San Francisco for workmen, and, presto ! a if by magic, tip pops a gang of Oriental pigtails, cocked aud primed, and, with their unrivalled imitative powers, within forty-eight hours they comuiencejjniaking shoes as handily an the most expert waxend in the Common wealth. Of course this introduction of a foreign and servile class of workmen into a trade that had become, as it were, native and to the manor born in New Eugland, created considerable indignation among the Crispin societies, and it was with nolittledifficnltythat the intruders were enabled to commence and proceed with their labors. But it is not only in New England that this excitement prevails. It has already spread to other places. In Troy, in this State, a mass meeting of workingmen has been held and a protest entered against the importation of coolie laborers. Statistics were shown where the Chinese had already seriously reduced the wages of certain kints of labor in Califor nia, and predictions were made that if the coolies obtained a foothold in the manufac turing towns of the East and West an incal culable amount of damage would ensue to the native working classes. This damage would not be confined to the workingmen alone, but the working women, especially in the shoemaking districts, would feel its effects more seriously than the men. There are many thousands of females employed in the shoemaking business in Massachusetts and throughout New England. The delicate work they do can be readily imitated by the dainty-fingered . Chinese, who can live and thrive upon what would not keep an Ameri can girl in shoestrings. Hence, if these Asiatio cordwainers once obtain a foothold in the shoe manufactories of the East, the in stincts of grasping capitalists will lead them to dispense with native-born labor altogether and engage that of the foreign element. In their strikes, then, the workingmen should take a full view of the situation and weigh well the consequences. The market for skilled labor is not now what it was only two or three years ago. The Pacific Railroad and steam communication with Asia have opened channels through which myriads of the unemployed people of that region can find access to these remote lands even, as we have seen, to the heart of slave-abhorring New England itself. Coolieism is but another name for African slave labor, and as in old times Massachusetts was the first to reap benefits from the latter, her msneyed men will not hesitate to jump at the opportunity and realize the most they can from the new system of servile employment just intro duced. Workingmen's strikes, therefore, however justifiable they may be under the pressure of extraordinary circnmstances, are fraught with new dangers and vicissitudes. A new class of beings has sprung up to take the place of the honest artisan or meohanio who expects, nay, demands, a fair remunera tion for bis toil. This new class are entirely different in their habits, religion, mode of living, education, and ideas of free govern ment from our workingmen. They have no family ties, no patriotic love of this land, no associations, no likes or dislikes, no senti ments whatever akin to our people. They are ready to work for nothing, and accus tomed to live on less. These points, we sug gest, ought to be taken into consideration before a workingmen's strike for trivial causes is concluded upon; for in the hordes of Asiatics ready to swarm into our manufac turing villages, and into our city shops, stores, foundries, offices, and elsewhere where cheap labor can be profitably employed, we see both an element of apprehension covering the in terests of our laboring classes and of future turbulence,- if not of danger and disaster, more general and widespread. . THE COOLIES IN A NEW FIELD. Fnm the K. Y. Tribune. Massachusetts grapples the coolie problem in another spirit than that of California or the South, and we believe time will prove hers the wiser resolve. There are singular contrasts in the circumstances which force this question into prominence, and in the methods by which its solution is attempted. California, which needed laborers, accepted her coolies under protest, and now, in obedi ence to another laboring element which is also a political power, seeks to restrict their fur ther immigration. The South, in still stranger mood and more glaring folly, rejects the labor herself established and educated for the sole reason that it has attained political power, and seeks, in her spiteful temper, to introduce unskilled creatures in whom she has no confidence. Massachusetts, on the contrary, not wanting labor, but forced by a combina tion of more than 00,000 of her skilled work men producing annually a single article to the amonnt of $00,000,000, imports coolies to her workshops, and hopefully and heartily welcomes them. In California they get blows that frighten them away; in the South they are received with doubts that discourage; in Massachusetts with full work and fair wages that inspire them. There is for them taxation in the West; contempt in the South; fair play in the East. Tested thus differently, the prob lem, of course, results differently. California farmers pronounce the Chinaman lazy, dirty, tttxa destructive, ana want no more of him: Southern planters, having hardly begun the experiment, aireaay unnn Jonnapoor sub stitute for Sambo; a Massachusetts manufac turer finds him industrious, intelligent, clean. and economical, and all the other manufactu rers cry for him to come. Rut the Knights of St. Crispin in Massa chusetts demand that he shall not come to that State, and by violent threats against the little colony in the Berkshire Mountains and by inflammatory appeals to Congress seek at once to stop this immigration, and to make the issue between themselves, or rather their organization, and the manufacturers of Massa chusetts a political question. It is all in vain. The immigration cannot be stopped, and the duty of Congress is to regulate it. The present isue in Massachusetts is not worthy and is not destined to as snme any crave political importance. Mas sachusetts, which has prospered under imoii oration, and doubled her manufactures each . deoade for thirty years, is not to suffer under the influx of the coolies. The Enighta of St. Crispin tsay suffer, however, if they blindly persist in their effort to maintain wages at rates which the state of trade, the condition of finance, and the cost of living do not justify. Ry organizing to regulate their wages and maintain them at the war standard ttey nave forced one manufacturer to resort to the experiment of introducing a new and cheaper class of labor era. If they continue to support it, their organization wi.l compel the introduction of innumerable others by manufacturers in all parts of the State. It is organization against organization, and when it corned to that the result can be easily foretold. The wisest course for the Crispins is to recognize that their organization in the present, as in the past, is a cumbersome, expensive, and useless one, which unnecessarily makes war only to succumb. When it forces, by too persistent aggressions, the adoption of such defensive measures as the North Adams manufacturer has inaugurated, it will endanger its exist ence and effect the ruin of its thoughtless supporters. THE FATAL BLUNDER. From the X. Y. Sun. To carry the next House of Representatives, end more especially the next Presidency, the Republicans need a new hold on the people's heaits. The tie that has bound together the incongruous elements of which the party has been composed since the outbreak of the war is dissolved, and some other bond of union is now indispensable to prevent the organiza tion falling in pieces. 1 he Cuban question, and the still greater and broader propositions on which that ques tion ia based, rose as if providentially to afford the very materials for this new bond of union. Rut the majority of the Republicans in Congress, instead of eagerly seizing and appropriating these materials, are disposed to recklessly throw them away, or to barter them for promises of office for themselves. rlhe Cuban question is not new in its na ture. It is essentially th e same as the Ame rican Revolution of 177G. It is the struggle of an American people to be relieved of European tyranny. Such a struggle always receives the sympathy and support of everj' American heart. This is particularly true of Cuba, because the oppressions and wrongs to which she has been subjected infi nitely transcend any ever inflicted upon any British colony in the worst period of history. There is also another powerful impulse in this cape. It is a determination of the peo ple of the United States that at no distant period European domination shall cease in every part of the North American continent and its dependencies. While our people will not prematurely hasten the solution of this problem, they nevertheless will insist that the issue shall never be evaded, but be manfully met, and settled on its merits, whenever it arises in a case like that of Cuba. The administration, yielding to the base counsels of Sidney Web ster and Hamilton Fish, skulks from this issue; and it is this exhibition of the white feather, at the demand of a bankrupt, third rate European power, which is arousing the indignation ot every tree spirit in the land, and dividing and ruining the Republican party. Honest and brave men who do not wear the collar of the administration are ashamed of its pusillanimous course, which they know is the joint product of cupidity and cowardice. Had the Republican party been guided by ordinary sagacity, it would have pressed into its service the indomitable love of freedom and the passion for the early exclusion of foreign rule from the "Western Hemisphere. But the Cabinet and the Republican majority in Congress have worse that refused to take advantage of it. Because Hamilton Fish's son-in-law gets seventeen thousand dollars in gold at a time from Spain, Congress and the r resident have fallen on their knees and kissed a sceptre that is so foul and feeble that even the European adventurers to whom it is freely offered spit upon it with contempt. 'J. he halting of the Republicans in Congress will not an ekt the march of American princi ples on this continent. The sons of Cuba will achieve their freedom by themselves, amid bloodshed and desolation. The move ment for human rights will go on and tri umph, but the Republican party will be left far in the rear, with Grant and Fish and a mass of such dead material on its decaying bands. PRESIDENT GRANT'S CABINET AP POINTMENTS. From the A". Y. World. General Grant is the most amazing man that ever stood at the head of the executive government in this country, and perhaps in any country. It would seem the obvious dictate of self-interest and personal pride, as well as of good sense and publio spirit, for the executive ruler of a great nation to make, if not a brilliant, at least a strong, able, and popular administration. An administration can exert a commanding lnnuence only by the recognized personal weight, political ca pacity, and ripe experience of the statesmen who compose it. When Washington orga nized the Government he recalled Jefferson from France to be Secretary of State, and placed Hamilton at the head of the Treasury, putting in his Cabinet the highest political capacity the country afforded. All our Presi dents down to Grant have attempted to acton the same wise rule. There has never been a Cabinet, until General Grant appointed his, which did not comprise two or three of the first statesmen of the country, or at least of the political party by whioh the President was elected. Mr. Lincoln, the last of Gene ral Grant's predecessors, selected Mr. Seward, Mr. Chase, and Mr. Cameron, men who, whatever their real merits or ability, were the most prominent and the most in fluential of the Republican leaders at the time he appointed them. They were men of dis tinction; men who filled a large space in the publio eye; men who had an attached body of political followers; men who, whether in office or out of office, had the capacity to in fluence political movements and combina tions. All administrations in all free coaa. tries are oomposed of men of that class. There has never been an English ministry which did not consist in great part of men who had won their title to office by sucoesdful and recognized political leadership. It was reserved for General Grant to make up a Cabinet of political nobodies; and when one nobody has died or resigned, to regularly put another nobody in his place. In this respect, we must award to General Grant the praise of consistency. The new Attorney General, Mr. Akerman, is as surprising an ap pointment as most of the others which our wonderful President has made. If the fifty most intelligent politicians of the country ha 1 each undertaken to make up a list of the men General Grant would probably invite lata his Cabinet, no one of the fifty lists wjuli have contained a single name that has ever been sent to the Senate. Everybody's con jectures would have been at fault, bacam . i r . . l 1 V ' 1 . - ucnerai urant uoes nut lua&e uis selections on any principle of recognized fitness. There is not now, nor has there bean from the beginning, a member of hU Cabinet whose selection was not a sur. piite end-a puzzle to the country. There is not a member of the Cabinet who has any political strength. There are at least a thou sand lawyers in the Republican pirty wh are as well qualified for the Attorney-Generalship as Mr. Akerman. Mr. Fish, whj U at the htad of tLe Cabinet, and beyiud ail comparison the most respectable man in it, was quite disconnected from publio affairs. Out of office he exerted no more political influence than any other man who possesses the right of suffrage. Borie was a political imbecile; Robeson, his sucoessor, was never heard of out of Southern New Jersey until he. was appointed; Rawlins, Belknap, and Cox had quite as little politioal standing; and even Bout well was never thought of as a possible Secretary of the Treasury until he was appointed. With the exception of poor old Borie, all these mediocre men were capable of going through the routine duties of their respective offices, as their chief clerks or under secreta ries are in the absence or sickness of their chiefs. The heads of the executive depart ment should be men of larger calibre; not mere chief clerks, but statesmen. They should be so thoroughly conversant with puo lic aff airs, and of such tested sagacity, that their mere opinions would have authority; and capable of expounding their views with persuasive and impressive effect. They fthould be men of large acquaintance with public affairs, who, understand their epoch, foresee what is coming, and can meet every emergency with the right measure. The pre sent Cabinet, instead of consisting of seven Mich men, does not contain one, and the President is aa ordinary as all his advisers. One would suppose that any inexperienced President would wish to surround himself with an able Cabinet; but General Grant seenis to have the small jealousy of a feeble man who fears that he may be eclipsed by his sub ordinates. Like all Presidents, he wishes to be re-elected; and he is determined that there shall be no member of the Cabinet who can become important enough to be thought a rival candidate. So the dignity, respecta bility, and usefulness of the Government are sacrificed to a Pinall and ignoble ambition; and in the most important conjuncture of our history we have the feeblest adminis tration. MISTAKEN ECONOMY. From the A. 1'. rimes. The great body of the people are, without doubt, exceedingly anxious for the most rigid economy and retrenchment in the ad ministration of affairs by Congress, and will earnestly applaud every proper expedient in that direction. While the general sentiment is decidedly averse from anything which tends, even remotely, towards evading any of our national obligations, or even towards a niggardly maintenance of our national dig nity, yet the conviction is very strong that in many ways Congress might lighten the gene ral burden without impairing the efficiency of the public service, or violating in any way the implied or expressed faith of the nation. Scores of abuses are easily to be found in the various departments at Washington, involv ing the expenditure of millions of dollars, which might be made legitimate subjects of Congressional action, with benefit to the public service. Some of them have bean pointed out in these columns, and Congress has been urged to give its attention to the general subject. Undoubtedly a great deal has been doe since the present administration came into power in lopping off unnecessary expendi ture, and in correcting ancient abuses which had almost imperceptibly crept into exist ence. In doing this, however, there seems to have been an unfortunate propensity for the creation of new expenditures almost as fast as old ones were checked, aud in many instances iarshly assailing certain branches of the publio service in a way which involve not only a breach of public faith, but which has justified the charge of cruel ingratitude. We refer particularly to the various schemes which have been brought before Congress for the reorganization of the army, the forcible retirement of. faithful officers, and the reduc tion of pay schemes which, happily, have not been entirely successful, aud with which we are convinced the people do not sympathize. Congress may rest assured that the mass of its constituents have a hearty respect and a grateful appreciation for the regular army, and that they are disinclined to bring it under the same stringent rule of retrenchment which it would willingly impose upon other branches of the public service." There is a very general feeling that the men who have devoted-their lives to the military service of the country have a just claim, upon the lideral care of the Government, regardless of the immediate military necessities of the time. They are the reserve defense of the country, liable to be called upon at any time, and always ready and adequate, as was demonstrated in the recent war. There is no disposition to treat them harshly or unjustly, and those members of Congress who have, during the present session, seemed to act upon a different hypothesis, have made a great mistake. Especially is this the case in the assault which has been made upon the three highest grades of Generals. The people have not yet lost their feelings of admiration and gratitude towards Sherman, Sheridan, Meade, Hancock, and the other worthies whom the new Army bill so pointedly assails. The general disposition is to resent it as an im plied rebuke, and as an ungracious manifes tation of en economio spirit very nearly ap proaching meanness. It is no balm to those men to be told that their positions and pay are not to be affected so long as they live, but that when Sherman and Sheridan die their rank will be abolished, and the door of promotion to their places will be closed to all the other veterans of the war. It is a detrac tion from the present honor and distinction of those two highest grades, and a rebuke to their subordinates; and it will be all the more keenly felt since it comes undar a specious pretense of economy from a body which has voted away many times the paltry sum to be saved, in salaries to civil employes in depart ments, and to partisan diplomatists to say nothing of the millions which have been squandered outright in the shape of public land3, subsidies, and worthless publio docu ments. "THE PILGRIM'S PROGRESS" IN SOUTH CAROLINA. From the N. Y. yation. We asked the Charleston Daily Republican, a fortnight ago, how many members of the last South Carolina Legislature could read a page of the 'Tilgriuis Progress" intelli gently, or read any plain writing at all, and requested that it would, if possible, fortify its opinion with some statistics. For statis tics, it refers us to Treasurer Parker's safe and ingenious statement in the Independent, that ail but three members feigned their names to the pay-rolls the value of which, as an indication of the condition of their edu cation, anybody who has ever seen the la borers' signatures to the pay-roll of any large public work will appreciate. As to' their ability to read a page of the "Pilgrim's Pro gress" about the easiest thing extant the Jt,tillican pays it cannot .tell, "never Laving heard auy of them read from that particular Jook;" that they did not graduate at Harvard pr Vale; but they could lead "a 'Pilgrim' Fibres' of their own quite similar to Banyan's and elo quent; the story of a journey from the City of Destruction, fenced with slavory, to the celestial land of liberty,'1 etc; that "dozens and dozens" of them "could write such a page of common Bense on the politics of South Carolina as has not appeared in the Ration for many a day." It alleges further, that no matter how illiterate they may have been, "their legislation was invariably on the side of human freedom," and avers "that there is nothing like a begging of the ques tion in all this' the writer evidently feeling ,a little uncomfortable about the look of the argument. It is quite evideut that we shall not get from this quarter any information as to the mental condition of the Legislature. People, we are glad to -say, are beginning to undeistand this sort of talk. The legisla tion of all popular bodies everywhere is "now on the Bide of human freedom, n for the simple reason that the big battalions are on the side of human freedom. Open hostility to individual rights we shall probably never again see expressed in laws. The frank and formal assertion of class interests, if not at an end, in very nearly at end. The reign of Binte force, against which the world has been so long contending, is nearly over; the ene mies with which the next age will have to cope are fraud and chicane, working under the forms of popular . government. When William M. Tweed and Peter B. Sheeny were trying to get control of the government of this city, which they now hold more securely than Louis Napoleon holds the government of Paris, they did not begin to abuse the Irish and Germaus, or advocate restrictive legislation directed against "the poor man." They proclaimed themselves his champions and defenders; stoutly opposed all attempts to keep him out of the public house or to exact qualifications of him for the exercise of the elective fran chise; and they may truly say that all legisla tion in which they have had a hand is "on tho side of human freedom." But their rule is, nevertheless, as abominable a yoke as the poor man has ever lived under. In no capital in the world is so much of his wages taken by thieves, and so much disregard of his highest interests displayed in the work of govern ment. In other . words, he is oppressed through his ignorance and his vote combined. One of the awful crimes of the old slave holders was their deliberate, legislative denial of knowledge to their laboring population. That alone was sufficient to cause the Furies to be let loose on them; but if they had done it through sheer hate of the colored people, which we do not believe, they could not have wished a better sequence to their reign than the election, under the regime of free dom, of such a Legislature as has been sitting in Charleston during the past winter. Better means of bringing freedom into contempt and of making the restoration of pure, honest government difficult and distant, could not have been hit npon, nor could a deadlier blow have been struck at the colored race. The man who flogged or imprisoned a negro for learning to read committed a great crime, but it was, we say deliberately, a far less crime than is committed by the man who persuades a whole country of negroe that Whittemore is a proper man to represent them in Congress. The one foully oppressed the body, but the other corrupts the con science and perverts the judgment in other words, spends a disease for which, in one generation there is hardly any cure possible. Those who advocated, as we did, the exten sion of the suff rage to the blacks as an essen tial feature of reconstruction, have naturally more to answer for in this matter than any body else, and it would be wrong, even if it were not futile, to try to escape the respon sibility. We believe still, in spite of all that has happened, that it was the best, if not the only, course open to Congress. We wish sin cerely it had been coupled with an educational test, imposed on all colors equally. We have no doubt the effect would have been admira ble, and we should, for the purpose of giving mch a test time to work, have been willing to see military government maintained till this moment in every one of the States. We have heard, dunce the past winter, one of the ablest of the lady teachers who went down from the North to labor among the negroes, after the war, tell of the way in which the schools in her district (in Virginia) were crowded with adults during the reconstruction debates in Congress, while it was still believed that the franchise would not be bestowed without exacting educational qualifications for its exercise, and of the way in which they were deserted as soon as it became certain that no qualification whatever would be required. Such stories, of course, set one inevitably to what is sometimes a very unprofitable occu pation, thinking of "what might have been.' But in this instance they contain a lesson which is still of use. It is bad enough, of course, that the blacks should be ignorant voters, but , we verily believe . that, ignorant as they are, their votes would serve the legitimate purpose of protecting them from oppression end class legislation, ana helping their politi cal and social training, if the passage of general amnesty secured the admission of the Southern whites to their natural share in the government of their States. It is prolonged exclusion from politics of the intelligence and culture of the South, and not the ignorance of the blacks, which is working the present mischief, and making so many of the States the prey of unscrupulous Northern adven turers perhaps the worst enemies the negro has ever had. These gentry, and their Northern allies, are now trung hard to retain their hold on power, and continue their nefarious calling, by representing everybody who calls atten tion to their performance as "an enemy of the colored man and the Unionist" in other words, are trying to live off Northern patri otism and humanity. Rut it is high time the honest, Christian people of the North used their infiueuoe to bring this little comedy to an end. Its continuance is a disgrace to the country, and will ruin the party if it lasts very long. When the Committee of the Senate the other day exposed the doings of that eminent "Unionist, Governor Bullock, of Georgia, and pointed out, amongst other things, that he or his confederates had paid 3."00 to the Washington LUromcie for help ing him with its articles, the editor opened savagely on the committee, ana pro nounced their examination of his books, which had been altered to cover dp the real character of the transaction, "a deliberate outrage on jus tice, and an equally deliberate insult to the Republican party," and asked solemnly whether it would not have been more eon sistent with the duties of this austere quar tette if they had shown a little more of the same eagerness to investigate the cruelty of the rebels upon the poer Union people of the South r 1S9W, it is auout time tuat we ceased helping rogues to make fortunes out of "the cruelty of the Rebels," and ceased accepting the plea of faithful service in the war as a defense of roguery. We must cease it, if we do not wish the next generation to look back to the war as a cursa and as the beginning of a political dry-rot. The Chic Tribune, commenting on this very easa, makes some remarks which we wish could l road in all churches every Sunday for the next two years:- "1h late war was a great war a nI a holy war. It had a r.nhle purpose ami a g oitons result. & treat man; people were engaged In It, anil some very uooil people, aorne not aajrood, anil some, we are sorry to say, were quile indllVereut character. Now, many f these Indifferent characters, w are afraid, went Into the. war not ao much because they understood or cared tow (rrcat Ita aim was, or Its end would probably be, but because, they aaw It wa popular, and thought it a frood thing to iro into. Hut, the war waa fought out ty the good peole, the bad people, and the Indifferent people, with such motive aa tliev had ; and the country and the world possess, and will poaaeaiT, for centuries to come, the fruit thereof. We gie pralae and thanksgiving, and other generations win ne i.nauKiui and bn full of pralae therefor. All this Is true, has ben said before, and vlll ixj said a great tinny times again. Hut, nevertheless, we protest that, because It la true, every honest man who may uru out to be a rogue, or every rogue who may be shown to be a rogue atill, shall not make tne fact that he waa faithful during the war a plea in mittga. lon of punishment for his roguery. He may have fought well, cither wim a good motive or a bad one. aud. ao far as ihat question goes, let him have doe credit and such fame and mich power as he may have paired, llhout question as to what his mo- Uvea were. But, If he commits forgery, or steals, or murders, or la otherwise derelict In auy of his rela tions In aoclety, let him take the consequences aa though no war had ever been fought; although no IJepubllcan party hod ever existed; as tliouirti he had been Ifobert Toombs himself, or any other of he wlckedeat and most virulent ot the rebel arentrv. Hold him up to the light, oraonlv even the micro scope to htm, If need be, and have It understood, once for all, that 'long and weary years gtven to the Republican party' cannot 1ms pleaded In bar of puuiahnjent for any sort of rascality whatever." This is as sound and saving dootrine as ever was preached. The salvation of this and of all other countries depends, of course, in some degree, on the laws, but in a greater degree on the character of the men who make them, and execute them, and live under them. The laws of Greece and of Mexico will compare favorably with those of the United States; indeed, we belive the Greeks beat us by far in their criminal code. What makes the difference between our social and political condition and theirs is the difference in me quamy oi our legislators, ana juages, and sheriffs. As soon as this disappears, we shall e even as they are, no matter what Beta we pass.
