11UINED BY CHINESE CHEAP LABOR.
Fror the N, T. Ttibune.
It happily occurs that at the moment we
are recording the difficulties of a New Jersey
manufacturer in substituting Chinese for
Irish labor, we are furnished with the results
of the Massachusetts experiment at trans
forming Ah Sing from "a heathen Chinee"
into a skilled mechanic The experience of
Captain Ilervey, at Belleville, illustrates the
difficulties of organizing a force of Chinese,
the cost of transporting them across the
continent, and the dangers of introducing
the new element of labor into a community
where personal interest and political princi
ples combine to oreate animosity and opposi
tion. The experience of Mr. Sampson, at
North Adams, shows with what facility the
Chinese learn a trade and what is really their
value as mechanics. Each experience has its
moral, worthy the attention alike of manu
facturers who contemplate the employment
ef this new laboring element, and of those
organizations, whether industrial or political,
which oppose the establishment of Chinese
labor in any part of the country or in any
branch of the trades.
Captain Ilervey s experience establishes
anew that no political influence, no orga
nized power of trades unions, and no demon
strations or threats of mob violence, are com
petent to prevent the introduction of the
Chinese. Captain Horveyhas been threatened
by laborers on the railways; he has been de
nounced at political meetings, and warned by
the demagogues who, by some strange mys
tery, almost invariably hold the official posi
tions in the trades unions. lie has paid no
regard to threats or warnings except to take
measures for the security of his men; he has
not thought for a moment of desisting from
his ' purpose. The same threats and demon
strations failed to intimidate Mr. Sampson
three months ago, and in both cases the reso
lute bearing of the employers has had its
proper effect.
Not only was determination on Captain
Hervey's part requisite to success, but also
the bold adventure of a large sum of money.
An expenditure of $10,000 was necessary to
begin with; and the result shows very clearly
that to successfully organize a force of this
kind the moral courage to risk money freely
is as necessary as indifference to personal
danger. Ah Sing bargains like a veritable
Christian, taking all the advantages he can
get, and the man who tempts him into a con
tract must give ample assurances that he can
pay and protect him. Captain Hervey's ex
perience in this respect is calculated to
dispel the hopes of many small manufac
turers, who imagined that the new labor
could be obtained without much capital.
Mr. Sampson's exparienoe, partly told in
this and partly in a former issue of late date,
establishes the important fact that a three
months' apprenticeship is sufficient to make
the Chinese profitable workers at a difficult
trade, employing complicated machinery. He
has tested their intelligence, and proved it te
be of a high order; they are eager learners,
quick reasoners, shrewd calculators, and skill
ful manipulators. They know, not merely
the purpose of the machines whloh they di
rect, but the relations of each part, and can
not only operate them when in perfect condi
tion, but repair them when out of order.
They are not quicker nor better workmen
than the Irish and French and Americans;
but they are steadier, better disciplined, and
far more economical.
But we must not miss a third and by far
the most important conclusion of these ex
periences. At Belleville no man or woman
Las been thrown out of employment by the
appearance of the Chinese in the laundry.
On the contrary, Captain Hervey cries for
more either Chinese or Irish. At North
Adams, the strikers who left Mr. Sampson's
employ, on a demand for higher wages,
forced by the advent of the Chinese
to resort to co-operation, have been
successful in establishing an extensive
and profitable trade and manufacture.
They have been enabled to do this on
a first expenditure of $190 per man only
about $4( more than it cost Mr. Hervey to
place each of his workmen at learning his
future duties. Thirty-one shoemakers, dis
placed by their own folly and the Chinese,
have established themselves in steady busi
ness at North Adams, with a capital of
$(J000. Already the shares of the association
are at a premium. The details of this ad
venture show that the difficulties of starting
such co-operative establishments have been
greatly exaggerated in the imaginations of
those who have never encountered them.
RUSSIA'S OPPORTUNITY.
from the y. 7. Times.
"Russia retires within herself, " said Prinoe
Gortschakoff at the end of the Crimean War.
'There is no abatement in the military pre
parations of Russia," is the language of the
telegrims. Between the two phrases there
lies a Muscovite' epoch with a wonderful his
tory. With the issue of the latter begins a
new era for Russia and the world. Tor the
Empire of the Czar is not merely a dynasty
it is a civilization; not merely a great power,
but the embodiment of a great principle and
the promise of a social revolution. Cavour
once said to a Russian diplomatist, "the
equal rights you give your peasants to the
soil are more dangerous to us Westerns than
your armies." The Russia that England
and France fought fifteen years ago exists
no longer. The sternly repressive system of
Nicholas is as dead as the cholerio old Em
peror himself. Within less than half a gene
ration, twenty-three millions of bondsmen
have been set free; public opinion has grown,
apparently out of nothing, to be a power in
the State; the Government may be criticised
without the critio being sent to Siberia, and
where all was torpor and reaction there is
now a ferment of intellectual activity and
of - bold political theorizing. "We have
everywhere in the world to set the bonds
man free" is the watchword of the Russian
communist, and apart from the levelling ex
travagances of the nihilists, communism in
Russia is a different creed from what is
professed under the same name by certain
dreamers in Western Europe and among our
selves. The commune is the unit of Russian
political life. Each member of it is respon
sible for the other, and the Government deals
with it through the Starost, or head of the
community, as an individual. The land ap
pertaining to an agricultural village is culti
vated for the common good; individual owner
ship is reckoned an exceptional condition of
property, and collective possession the nor
mal one. There, however, the communUtio
theory ends, and, unless among oertain ex
tremists, no intention is ever professed to
vulgarize the most sacred relations of life
by applying to them the co-operative econo
my of the farm.
Such considerations are perfectly relevant
to the new appearance of Russia in the active
arena of European politics. A oompetent ob
server remarked of the Crimean war, that it
was supported by publio opinion mainly "be
cause it saw an opportunity of striking a
heavy blow at the Btolid power whioh lent it
self to prop op every deoaying throne and
every worn-out authority from the Vistula to
the ocean." The British Cabinet had cer
tainly nlterior views in going to war for the
(reservation of Turkey, but these are of
ittle consequenoe to-day, since even were
the present Ministry disposed to adopt
the foreign policy of Palmerston, there
exists no national sentiment based
either upon the chimera of a "balance
of power," or upon any special antagonism to
.Rusnia, which would support them in dis
puting with that power the possession of the
"sick man's inheritance." France cannot
interfere, even if she would, and Great
Britain will not. The time for substituting
a fresh and aggressive civilization for one
that is effete and thoroughly rotten ceuld
scarcely, therefore, be better chosen. With
her seat of government on the Dardanelles,
Russia would enter the fraternity of European
powers, as she can never thoroughly do
while her head is hidden among the clouds
and snow of the far north. Turkey is an
Ahiatio barbarism that apes western civiliza
tion. It is past being patched; sooner or
later it must be reformed out of existence
altogether. More may at least be expected
of the civilization of the Sklav than of that
of the Mongol. The world generally would
regard with not a little complaoency the
burying out of sight of the diseased body
politic that calls itself the Ottoman empire.
That the warlike preparations of Russia are
directed against Turkey th?re can be little
doubt. The Czar has gone out of his way to
express his sympathy with the progress of
the German arms, by both personal and of
ficial marks of esteem. Russian diplomacy
will make no bugbear out of a united Ger
many. The intermeddling of France with
Poland has found no precedent in the policy
of Prussia. The probability is that the neu
trality of Russia, which was worth three
armies to the Germans, was purchased at the
outset, by the wily Bismarck, with some such
concessions as he dangled before Napoleon in
the Austrian campaign, only to withdraw them
when his purpose was served. Wiser than the
French Emperor, Alexander II does not await
the completed success of his slippery friend
to extort fulfilment of the premise. It may
probably be easier for Prussia to leave Russia
to her own course in the East, when she is
fully occupied with France, than to sit with
folded hands after she has finished her
work, and see another secure a rich prize.
The time, therefore, is well chosen, but
with all favorable conditions, who can tell,
when the blow descends, what may be the
results? Beside a great German empire,
extending from the Inn to the sea, Aus
tria scarcely remains one of the great
powers of Europe. With Russia on the
Danube, she could not fail to sink into the
position of a second rate one, leaving but
two great Continental States. It would be
contrary to all precedent were changes so
momentous to be effected without a great
enlargement of the existing area of hostili
ties. As the year enters on its last quarter
the shadows cast by the rising cloud i grow
deeper, and the future appears more dark
and inscrutable. Ere these three months
have closed there may probably have settled
over Europe a dismal twilight of disaster and
gloom never before exceeded.
THE GUERRIERE AT NANTUCKET.
From tht N. . World.
When, as far back as last February, we se
riously called attention to the deplorable con
dition of our navy its want of organization
and discipline we hoped grave words of ad
monition might have their effect. It was on
the occasion of the arrival of the Monarch in
our waters with Mr. Peabody'a remains a
model Bhip, completely equipped and admira
bly handled in contrast with the clumsy, un
seaworthy iron-clads which were sent to
meet her, and on their way collided with
each other and everything which came across
their awkward course. From that time
things have been getting worse and worse.
The Oneida is run down, and her gallant
officers periBh mainly for want of boats; for,
gross aa was the inhumanity of the Bom
bay captain, there would have been . less
Iobs of Life had not Admiral Rowan been ped
dling the Government funds in the Eastern
seas and looking about for cheap markets in
which to buy. Then we have the remarkable
performance of the Colorado a huge sixty
gun frigate, drawing twenty-two or twenty
three feet, and as ill-suited to the waters of
China as the Great Eastern or Noah's ark.
She Bailed from New York in February,
reached Rio at the end of June, the Cape of
Good Hope in August, and is probably some
where in the China Sea by this time a voy
age which a common clipper-ship would make
in ninety days. This, too, when China is a
scene of massacre and every American, mer
chant and missionary, is looking seaward for
rescue. And now we have a new and deplor
able exhibition of professional incapacity in
thef frigate Guerriere, freighted with Farra
gut's honored remains, running ashore in
broad daylight, "with all the buoys in Bight,"
on the Nantucket banks a shoal as familiar
to the competent navigator as the Gridiron is
to a New York pilot. Were it not painful,
it would be ludicrous to read of the great
though reluctant parade made by the Navy
Department, and then its impotent conclu
sion. First, the perplexity whether it should
be one ship or another the Brooklyn or the
Guerriere; then the slow seleotion and
despatch; and finally the sticking in the sand
of Nantucket a laughiag-stock to the old and
superseded whalers of that region the sal
vage by a transient steamer, and the transfer
of the poor Admiral's remains, like so muoh
common freight, to the Fall River line
or AdamB Express, to be delivered "as
per margin" to the New York oommittee.
While the Navy-yard and the Brooklyn are ex
ploding minute-guns here, the poor Guerriere
was firing signals of distress at Nantucket.
Who is to blame for all this we do not pre
tend to say the radical Congress or the
radical secretary Porter adjuvante or the
captain of Ithe Guerriere or the sailing
master. All we know is that it is a sorry
scandal, and confirms our fears that never in
the history of the country was this branch
of the publio service in a condition of greater
decrepitude. "If," says even the Tribuiw,
"one of our vessels of war cannot steam
from Portsmouth to New York without get
ting fast aground in broad daylight orl a
well-known shore, with buoys in plain sight,
and another cannot oome out of harbor with
out running down a schooner, there must be
a fault somewhere to be oorreoted."
THE LAST ATTEMPT TO r REVIVE
RITUALISM.
From tht N. T. Hw.
The recent opening of the St. Sacrament
Mission of the Protestant Episcopal Church
ia this city, under nltra-ritualistio auspices,
has had in one respect an effect somewhat
different from that ' anticipated by its pro
moters. Ritualism gains no atrength by the
movement. It exhibits, on the contrary, a
degree of weakness out of all proportion to
its pretensions. As a thunder-storm purifies
the atmosphere, bo have the proceedings in
the little chapel in Broadway helped to clear
away much doubt as to where men stood
on an interesting religious question of
the day. Prominent Episcopal clergy
men supposed to have a hankering
after embroidered vestments, censers, and
acblj tes, make haste to assure the publio that
they reprobate the introduction of such an
tique novelties; and one of them, who has
been considered by his Low Church brethren
far from sound on the ritualistio question,
declares that extremes in ritualism "are as
distasteful to him as he knows them to be to
the Bishop of this diocese, and te almost all
of our clergymen and laity' The pains taken
by several who participated in the opining
services of the mission to explain that their
presence is not to be considered as a proof of
their approval of them, is also a fact of con
siderable significance.
There is one point worthy of special no
tice in connection with this subject. It his
been asserted by Dr. Dix and others, though
not always from personal observation, that
the accounts of the services at St. Sacra
ment's Chapel published in the daily papers
were exaggerated, sensational, and positively
false. If such had been the case, there was
a rare unanimity exhibited by the reporters,
for their accounts agreed so nearly, even in
minute particulars, that they seemed rather
to have emsnated from the same pen, or to
have been inspired by some person Bpeaking
by authority. The latter proves to be the
case. The Civrch Journal of this city, an
organ of the Episcopalians, having taken the
pains to inquire where the reporters of two
daily papers, the Sun and the Express, ob
tained their information, finds that they were
supplied with the necessary facts and data by
two ritualistic clergymen and accurately re
produced them in their reports. So much
nonsense is uttered about the alleged inac
curacy of the newspapers in reporting the
events of the day that it is gratifying occa
sionally to have the opportunity to show on
good testimony, as in the present instance,
that to inquire how reports are prepared is
in almost every instance to show how abso.
lutoly trustworthy they are.
THE ALABAMA CLAIMS.
I'rvm the Cleveland Leader.
The appointment of a new Minister to
England naturally gives rise to the discussion
of the long standing claim of the United
States against Great Britain for compensation
for depredations upon our commer ;e com
mitted by privateers like the Alabama, fitted
out in British ports, armed with British mu
nitions of war, and, as a thin and transparent
disguise, sailing under the pretended flag of
a set of rebels who have not now and never
had any national existence. Mr. Motley, for
whatever reason, has utterly failed to bring
about a settlement, or any progress
towards one. It is to be hoped that Mr.
Morton will be instructed to keep the
question before the British Government in
such a manner that it will understand dis
tinctly that we have not forgotten it, and,
moreover, that we are determined to insist
upon complete and ample satisfaction for the
injuries we have sustained through British
treachery and bad faith. Under all the cir
cumstances of the case, the United States
would be fully justified ia taking advantage
of any domestio or foreign troubles in which
the British Government might be involved to
bring forward the Alabama claims ia a man
ner that would compel attention to
them from fear, if from no other motive. It
would be better, of course, if an amicable
arrangement could be reached, and the mat
ter Bettled on the basis of mutual friendship
and good understanding, so that its deoision
may not leave any rankling memories for the
future disquiet of either nation. Bat if
Great Britain will not settle the claim in this
manner, then we must try harsher means.
The present affords a favorable opportu
nity for the reopening of negotiations.
England is in very bad odor with both
France and Prussia on account of her pecu
liar tactics as a neutral, and the tremendous
display of power made by Prussia, coupled
with the sneering declaration of Bismarck
that he should dec-tine to accept the opinions
of the law officers of the crown as conclusive
on questions of international law and the
duties of neutrals, had compelled the British
Government to make a change in its laws, so
as to place a real check upon the business
of building and sending oat pirati
cal cruisers a thing it refused to
do in our case. This is only one of
many indications that England finds
her position a peculiarly unoomfortable one,
and, with Prussia and France both incensed
against her, it would be at least politio to get
the controversy with the United States off
her bands as soon as possible. The" English
Government and people should be informed
distinctly that publio opinion on the subject
of the Alabama claims has not changed in
the least in this country, and if Mr. Morton,
on his arrival in London, presses the subject
with sufficient force, the probabilities are that
an agreement can be arrived at to transfer
the negotiations to Washington, with the
understanding that England is prepared to
yield what is necessary to wind up the whole
affair in a manner satisfactory to all parties.
REDUCING TAXES AND INCREASING
REVENUE.
Frtm tht Bu ffalo Express.
I he Courier affects to be unable to under
stand how taxes have been abolished to the
extent that they have been by successive
acts'of Congress since 18GG, and yet the re
venue collected during the past year proves to
be greater than ever. Let us see if we can
illustrate the process so that our simple
minded contemporary will be able to com
prehend it.
We will suppose that a certain street rail
road company had been charging for a loag
time a passenger fare of ten cents, but had
employed during that time a set of dishonest
conductors, who either pocketed half the
fares they collected or else were in collusion
with a lot of the regular passengers over the
road and permitted the latter to steal their
rides. It would happen ia such a case
that, while the publio were heavily oppressed
by an exorbitant rate of charge upon tho
road, the company, instead of being made
rich by that exorbitancy, would find itself
going the road to bankruptcy.
Suppose then that, all at once, it lowered
its rate of fare to five cents, and at the same
time cleared out the whole pack of dishonest
conductors and put honest men in their
places, bo began to honestly collect every
fare, and to honestly aocount for it. The
probability is that the company, notwith
standing the great rediretiou of its charges,
would find its revenues heavily increased. Q
Now that is just what has happened ia tut
matter of the reduction of aatioaal taxes.
Under the -oorrapt and demoralized adminis
tration of Andrew JohnsaD, while the people
bore the weight of enormous and oppressive
taxes, the revenue whioh the Treasury
realized from them barely sufOoed to meet
the expenses of the Government; for the rea
son that full half of those taxes were swal
lowed up by fraud by a vast, wide spread,
organized system of collusion between ras
cally revenue officials and the manufacturers
of whisky, tobacoo, etc., and by almost uni
versal peculation, embezzlement and loose
inefficiency of collection. Nine tenths of the
spirits Bold in this country at one time were
of fraudulent manufacture and the whisky tax
very nearly ceased to pay the cost of its col
lection. Two years ago these things were
notorious; now they have oeased to be
heard of.
It is plain enough that when the vast sink
hole of corruption and fraud, in which half
the heavy taxes wrung from the people were
sunk, was cleared out and filled up, that half
of the taxes could be remitted without loss
to the Treasury. And this is exactly what
happened. By act succeeding act Congress
has abolished taxes which, in the aggregate,
if they were still collected as taxes are col
lected now, would yield more than $250,000,
000 to the Treasury; and BtilL, after all this
vast volume of taxation has been lifted from
the people, the revenues of the Government
are many millions greater than before. By
so huge a sum is the money-value to the
country of an honest administration measured.
