2 TILE DAILY KVfiNINO TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, FRID A F, APRIL 14, 1871. srinir of rns mess. EDITORIAL OPINIONS OF THE TiEAPINO JOURNALS t'PON CURRENT TOriOS COMPILED EVERX DAT FOR THE EVENIXO TELEOIUrH. VIIICU PARTY CAN THE TRUST? TEOPLE From the N. Y. Time. The able writer whoRe political articles in IlarjHr's Meekly have long rendered that journal a power in the laud, describes in a few words the present position of the Re publican party and the administration. The eople, he says, have "perfeot faith in the lonesty of the administration," they listen attentively to criticisms npon. it, but they tvill "insist that Republican criticisms of ; our own party shall be friendly, and not helpful to the common enemy; for it is only by friendly criticism that the party policy is made truly wise." The principle here laid down is one to which very fnw will object. It places at once in their proper aspect those "criticisms" upon the administration which are evidently based npon mere malicious and personal hostility towards the Presi dent. The abusive attacks made by some of the President's enemies probably do hitn more good than harm, for in many cases their motive is well understood, and in all caseB they tend to disgust people, and to pro dnce a reaction in the President's favor. If the administration will place itself in ad vance of the nation, and identify itself with those measures which are clearly seen to be necessary, wild Bourrility will be powerless to injure it. As for. those criticisms whieh are founded npon a supposed foreknowledge of events, or the faculty of shifting with every change of the wind, no intelli gent person ever paid the least atten tion to them. In one quarter President Grant is constantly advised to be like Jack son, and swear "by the Eternal" to put down opposition. Yet, whenever he shows any signs of independence, this same journal comes out and tells him that he is a failure, and pathetically casts him off. Perhaps it might be deemed offensive to call this kind of criticism imbecile, and it answers every purpose to describe it as compounded of an equal mixture of foolishness and dishonesty. But, whatever differences of opinion may exist now or at any future time about the administration, we hope there can be none in the minds of the people with regard to the necessity of keeping the Republican party in power. The country has as much need of that now as ever it had. It is still a party which aims at the attainment of lofty ends, and which is better capable than any other party of sustaining the honor and advancing the prosperity of the country. We are n at yet quite clear of the stormy waters raised by the Rebellion, and it would be dangerous to discard the organization which alone pre vented the collapse of the United States a few years ago. People who think that the South has forgiven and forgotten its defeats have conjured up for themselves a fool's paradise. The ugly fact is before us that communities which have staked every thing on a war and lost, seldom forget what they regard as their wrongs. No man sup poses that France will abide by one deci sion in the Btruggle which she provoked. The Southern press constantly expresses the hope that the day will come when the "lost cause" will triumph. The belief of nine tenths of the people is that their children will never rest satisfied until an attempt has been made to retrieve the fortunes of the Confederacy. These sentiments may gra dually die out, but if the Democracy is re stored to power, they will be far more likely to acquire a sudden strength which will alarm all classes of the people, and convince them when too late that permanent security was to be obtained under Republican rule alone. The happiest day which all discontented spirits at the South have seen for some years would be that on which a Democratic Presi dent was sent to Washington. The murmurs which we hear now would instantly be ex changed for something much more formid able, and the Democrats as a party would be untrue to their history if they did not stand by the South at such a crisis rather than by the North. Republican leaders are naturally divided in opinion with regard to the measures which ought to be adopted for quelling disaffection at the South. Harper t Week'y, the Jnoune, and other journals ask for general amnesty. On the other hand, Mr. Wendell Phillips, with whom many will agree on such a question as this, calls this demand "one more outgrowth of that cowardly and blundering anxiety for party snccess which has poisoned the whole reconstruction policy. Whoever supports it helps to dig the grave of the Republican party, and possibly of the Union itself." Rut the most powerful argument on Mr. Plumps side is supplied by Jefferson Davis and South ern journals. It certainly seems a great deal to ask that the "President" of the ex- Confederacy should be instantly rendered eligible to be sent back to th United States Senate as he unquestionably would be if all political disabilities were auolishe I. It is only the other day that Mr. Davis de clared that "State sovereignty" and we have terrible reasons for knowing what he means by that "although defeated in the late struggle, will ultimately triumph." The Southern people, he also said at Selma, "had sent forth their sons to battle for their rights as States." He himself "never had asked pardon for what he had done, and ha never would, for he felt that he had done no wrong." Would the people who fought against secession be once more willing to have such sentiments as these proclaimed in the United States Senate ? The fact is that Mr.. Hale's recent amnesty bill goes as far as common prudence warrants. It would ex olude Jeff. Davis and others of his class from political power, but it would deal in the most generouM manner with the vast majority of the Southern people. There is sucu thing as being too magnanimous to enemies who still cherish their enmity towards us, and are only anxious to find another oppor- tunity of idying at our throats. But this question, like all others, is far safer in the Lands of the Republicans than it would be ia . the hands of Democrats. Intrust it to Demo cratic treatment, and . the South would be aflame in less than three months, To return, then, to what we said ut first, it is quite clear that no prejudices which are entertained iu any quarter towards the administration ought to extend to the Rt pulilioan p.trty. Men come tind go, but the principles of the Rs publicuu organization will assuredly endure, unless f-ome great disaster is yet in store for the country. DISCHARGED CONVICTS. From, the X. Y. Tribune. We observe that a bill is now before the Pennsylvania Legislature, urged by tha Prison Association of that State, to empower them to "employ a man whose whola time fchall be devoted to looking after the wants of HicLaiged priooueis, furuuLiug thorn with clothing, temporary board, and tools, and finding employment for them." Wise and necessary as the movement is, it comes so late in the day, and is so meagre an effort to supply an immeasurable need, that it strikes us as almost ludicrous. Look for a momont at the tableau of crime in this oonntry. With the formation of each State comes the estab lishment of a gigantio penitentiary massive structures of stones, or in some cases of marble, upon whose construction as much cost is expended as pn Rome of the royal palaces of Europe an outlay, by the way, which, while it conduces to the vanity of the State, adds not one whit to the comfort of the inmates. The outer wall alone of the prison applying for this lill cost over half a million of dol lars. The average primary cost of accommo dation for each inmate of the State prisons is over $1000, which does not include their after maintenance. Beside those vast cen tral organizations there are the jails in each county of each State, where hundreds of men and women are withdrawn from society, kept in idleness, and maintained at the expense of the State, on account of real or alleged crime, iow, wnat is tne object ot this per petual subtraction of a great fraction of the population from the rent, by which they are kept in an abnormal position at the cost of an enormous outlay to innocent peo ple ? The answer of course is, 1 heir reform, and the purifying of society." Punishment, or the fear of it, never made a bad man a better one; hence, in most of the State prisons a nominal effort is made by religious instruction, or the teaching: of trades, to nt the poor wretch whom heredi tary poverty, or vioiousness, or some mis chance in life, has made a felon, to stand up- rignt again on nis release, an honest man among his fellows. We say a nominal effort, because in too many cases the necessity of making the prisons self-supporting converts the convicts into draught horses, out of whom a certain amount of work is forced, while the question of their reformation is left altogether in the lurch. Especially is this the case where, as in Illinois and Kentucky, the piisoner, bis food, clothing, and the pro duct ol nis labor are Handed over by the State for a bonus to a lessee, who proceeds to grind the convict s bones to make his own bread, and ordinarily grinds them to some purpose. In the best-managod penitentiaries known. where the convict, during his detention, is furnished with a trade, religious instruction, healthful and improving reading, what is done on his release to find him work and a place again in society? Absolutely nothing. Incredible as it may seem, Massachusetts is the only State which has established an agency for taking charge of discharged con victs. In only three other States Pennsyl vania, New York, and California is Buch aid systematically q;iven by any outside body. Tha 1'riton Association one ot tne noblest aids to humanity which Christianity ever inspired takes charge in these States of the pri soner before his release, ascertains his neces sities, the state of his clothing, his capa bilities, etc., unas mni work, or sends him home to his friends. In this State the asso ciation has provided permanent places for .;ti i liberated prisoners, and baa kept a help ful, watchful eye over their future career; only three per cent, of this number are re ported as having relapsed into crime. "Many have risen to high places as merchants and manufacturers, while the mass, with fami lies about them, have been and are earning an honest livelihood in the humbler walks of life." In Massachusetts the report is equally hopeful. The convicts, when dis charged, are offered immediate employment, and thus saved from temptation, and idle ness, and crime. A cabinet-maker in Bos ton, employing finui forty to fifty dis charged prisoners, declares that he had never found it necessary to dismiss one for bad conduct. But with this meagre record the chance of help to the convict ceases. The man, whether a confirmed criminal, or one who has yielded to the swift, fierce tempta tion of a moment, or innooent (for juries are not infallible), is snatched away from his home, his family is left helpless, all the old associations of his life are (dapped in an hour, and he goes down into a living grave for years half a lifetime, it may be. Some softening thoughts must come to him, buried from the busy world in solitude and silence; some honest, clear-sighted looking in on himself the strength and weaknesses within him; on tbe God above him and his fellows the reasons why they won the race while he miserably failed. henhe comes out he fancies he will begin the world afresh. Give him an inch of standing-room, and he will work his way with clean hands. There is no knowing the height he may not reach. What comes of his plans ? Christian society having wreoked the man's former life having kept him apart for years for the nominal purpose of his reformation throws him back suddenly into the highway as one would throw a withered weed. He is without work, without monev; the damning stigma of the prison forever upon him; the friends of his better days disown him; his very children, it may be, have grown out of remembrance of him. ho is willing to em ploy a convict? His only chance is a return to vice; the only friendly hands stretched out to him are those that drag him down. "The petitioners put this matter on an eco noiniol basis." What is the result? The community is put to the expense of another trial and another long imprisonment. Would not the relief plan be the most frugal? The subject has another aspect, which we com mend to the pulpit and the press, that in a Christian country tens of thousands of men and women ask for the chance to lead a better life, and the response is almost utter silence. THE AMAZONS OF PARIS. From the X. Y. Herald. The insurgent ruffians of Taris, among their desperate expedients to prolong their "Beggars' Opera,' have, it appears, invited the women of the city (that is, the women of the town) to form a military organization for its defense. The Amazons of the cay me tropolis, who may be classified as the ruffians and cutthroats of their sei, figured oonspiou ously in nearly all the horrible atrocities of that hideous first l rencli He volution of 176'J of "liberty, equality, fraternity," anarchy and the guillotine. Ihey were conspicuous m the storming of the Bastile; in the royal progress from Versailles to the capital, riding upouthe cannon; in the pursuit of Louis XIV and his family in their night from Paris; in the motley procesbion of the an culottes which escorted llit) jtui'i uaia in iuo auuohctj; m iilo mob which murdered the amiable Princess Lemballe, and marched in triumph through the streets with her neal borne aloft upon a pike; in the bacchauahan orgies in the lui lei ies, with tbe occupation of the palace by the mob, and tbey were the lif and spirit of the foul and obscene crowds which regularly from morning till night, attended aud ex lilted iu drnnkeu frenzy at the slaughters o tbe guillotine. Of all the demons iu unman tLtipo let lootit) iu Paris during tUut Ruiu of Terror, and till the restoration of law, ord ir, decency, and religion by the First Napole n, these abandoned and bloodthirsty Amaz us of Paris were the most diabolicaldetestable ana disgusting. Ihey reappeared again in the Btrenta am one the Reds in the revolution of 1830, and in 18 LS, with the flight of Louis Thilippo, they enacted an opera lovffe in the Tnileries which will, perhaps, some day be Bet to the lively muiia and scanty costumes of Offenbach, unless he shall prefer the more abundant materials for the illustration of the Amazons of Paris to bt found in the glorious reign of its Commune of ruffians and prostitutes of 1871. Voltaire justifies us in the notion that your average Parisian is "part monkey and part tiper " or part of era honffe and part trngody, a buffoon or an apsashin. ictor lingo in "Les Miserables" describes him, but even TTana fails to describe the shocking Paris Amazon in the political role, of i rench eonalitv and women s rights. There can be nothing more revolting, more degraded or debasing than mis lemaie monster nnaer tbe sun. And these are the creatnres to whom the Com mune of Paris of 1871 have appealed to organize as a military phalanx for the defense of the city. What a mockery for Paris as the capital of civilization! Yv hat a chapter of infamy is this in the present degradation of France ! From the doings of the Commune in Paris during the last two or three weeks it is clear that their ultimate object is the universal republic of Anacharsis Cloots. They have made considerable progress, too, as it appears, in this direction. They hare abolished the rents for lodgings; they have driven off some two or three hundred thousand landlords, and occupy their houses free of charge; they have abolished the Sabbath, and in their spolia tions of banks, stores, and churches, in their imprisonment of priests and nuns, in their scourging of the archbishop, and in their blasphemous proclamations, they have pre pared tbe way for parading again through the Boulevards a woman of the town as the em bodiment of their religion. Such are these Communists of Pans. I heir whole pro gramme may be reduced to these few words: Everything for everybody; everything in common; no work, but a general carousal till everything on hand is eaten up, and then a sale ol the national palaces to raise the wind, and so on. And it appears, too, that in all these socialistic doings the women of Paris, more than in any preceding revolution or revolt, are actively concern ed. 11 ow are we to account for this? Is it a natural outgrowth from the debaucheries of the empire? or is it a French development of women's rights? or is it due to the demorali zations of the late siege, or to the general spread of infidelity, domestic, political, and religious, among the people of Paris.-' All these demoralizing causes have evidently been at work, undermining the foundations of gov ernment and society in the giy city, now called to meet some of the penalties due for its sins and follies. The Oerman armies came first, as the Medes and Persians came down upon the gay city of Babylon and put an end to its reigning dynasty in the midst of a grand oarousal. Under the German siege the Hrmy and the people of Paris were rettuoed for subsistence to horses, asses, elephants, lions, tigers, monkeys, alligators, rats, oats. and dogs, and such strange food on empty stomachs, and nnder all the fierce excitements of bloody and fruitless sorties, nnnuestion ably contributed much to demoralize and bru talize the Parisians, women included. Then from the capitulation And the harsh conditions of peace exacted by Germany, and aeoppted from necessity by M. Thiers and the National Assembly, the general mind of Paris was so unhinged as to place the city and its people at the mercy of these reckless and desperate Jacobins. 'Most lamentable in all these developments is the apparent widely increased demoraliza tion of the women; for surely these Com munists would not think of forming a ruili tary legion of the women of Paris if the woiuen themselves bad not applied for their equal rights in lighting. bo mnoh, then, among other causes so much, for the general agitation of women s rights. In the full fruition of this grand idea it gives us the Paris Amazon, a monster compared with which tbe savage Apache Is a humanitarian and the filthy Hottentot a model of propriety and lemimue fascination, it such are tbe outgrowths from the centre of modern civili zation the question reeurs, Is not this civili zation, with its advanced ideas of equality, fraternity, womon s rights, and Communism, carrying its followers first to anarchy and then to barbarism Keduce this advanced univer sal republic of Anarcharsis Cloots to its ele roentary principles and results, and do we not find them embodied in the half -starved Digger Indian? HOW TO BEGIN REFORMING THE TARIFF. From the X. Y. World. Tublio opinion regarding the tariff ques tion has three distinct phases. There are thorough protectionists, who, either from self-interest or erroneous conviction, hold it the right and the duty of the Government to so adjust its taxes as to attempt fostering certain branches of industry, and who sustain the protective system, root and branch. There are also anti-protectionists, called usually by opponents aud often by them selves free traders, who believe that the hole protective system is both erroneous and unjust, that no law should ever be framed with iutent to favor capital or labor in any particular branch of industry, and that duties upon imports should be so ad justed as to put the least possible burden npon the people. But between these there is a third class, composed of men who either do not understand or care nothing for the principle involved, but who vote for duties which are expected to foster local interests of their own or their constituents, and against duties which are found to affect those inte rests injuriously. With this class must be included all those unprincipled demagogues who are governed in their aotion, not by any honest desire for the welfare of the whole country, but by the hope of influencing the votes of some element or interest among their constituents. The protectionist, where he is honest at all, may be regarded as the advocate of a well-meant but terribly injurious blunder the dupe of a patriotic delusion. He really believes that government can foster particu lar industries by imposing burdens upon ethers. True, he ought to know better. Can did reasoning or fair examination of facts would convince him that the burdens imposed by the protective system npon the consumers of eny American product must and do in the long run react against the producer, and more than balance the supposed advantages conferred. To tbe error of information he adds an error of judgment; ha believes that governnent not only can foster particular industries, but that it is wise and just to do so. Again, he ought to know better; he oubt to understand that every dollar thus ooiiferied npon those interested in any in-uut-tiy UiUt couiu out of the pockets of others, bat the nation can never afford to iay any man for employing his capital or abor in a manner naturally unprofitable and therefore wasteful, and that government hM no right to tax one man for the benefit of another mar. But, conclusive as the argu ment against protection is, there are h-juest men who still believe in and defend the system. No Bucn allowance can be made for those of that middle class who desire protectiou only so far as it servos selfish interest. These men, whether they be monopolists or dema gogues whether thoir interest be pecuniary or political are deliberately robbing the m- tion for tnelr private advantage. Whit is tbe difference, in practical effect or moral obligation, between tbe plunderer who im poses an unjust tax in order that he may pocket the proceeds, and that other plunderer who imposes a tax equally unjust in order that certain constituents mny pocket prolits and re-elect him as their attorney ? Une deserves just as much censure as the other is just as truly a betrayer of the in terests of his country for private advantage. If this truth bears hardly upon some mem bers of Congress, Repubhcau or Democratic, who know the unwisdom and injustice of the protective system and yet vote for monopoly taxes wbenever demanded by the locul in terests of their constituents, they may con sole themselves witn tbe rellection that we have expressed but faintly the contempt which must be felt for them even by those constituents for whose votes they sell thoir principles their convictions of duty. 11 it is right to tax the people for the bene fit of any interest, it is right to tax for the benefit of all others as well. Between tho rough adherence to the protective systom and rigid fidelity to the revenue basis in adjust- rnent of the tariff, there is no middle ground on wLich an honest and sensible man can Btand. One departure from the inflexible law that taxes shall be bo laid as to impose the least possible burden npon the whole people will not only excuse but prepare the way for many others. Each tax for the benefit of a local or private interest, whenever imposed, or as long as maintained, enlists votes for the defense of all other taxes of the same nature, and supplies a pretext for them in the fact that those who bear burdens thus imposed ought also to share in the compensating advantages. An illustration of this effect was given in the recent attempt to repeal the duties on coal. Members from Maryland, who are doubtless ready to sweep away tbe whole protective system, and who, we trust, would never have voted to impose that duty, did it not already exist as part of the protective system, felt that while that system was maintained with all its burdens they did not wish their State deprived of its small share of apparent advantage. But a beginning must be made somewhere, and the Bnme argument may be made against begin ning anywhere else. If Maryland defend the duty on eoal, Pennsylvania can with equal force defend its pig-iron mono poly, Massachusetts its duties on woollen goods, and Connecticut its duties on cottons. We believe it wise to seize every opportunity to repeal any duty which is false in principle aud burdensome to the country. Let a few bricks be knocked out of the arch of tbe monopolists, aud the whole work will tumble in ruins, opening the way for a general adjustment of the tariff upon correct prin ciples. With every repeal of an unjust duty, men of the middle class to which we have re ferred, no longer restrained by local interests, find themselves free to oppose protection as a whole; their constituents, no longer duped by an imaginary or insufficient compensation, will demand the overthrow of a system of which only the burdens remain. The shortest and surest way to secure a thorough reform ia to concentrate the attack npon those spe cial interests which act as outposts for the protective citadel. The field will then be open for a square contest between those who favor and those who oppose protection as a national policy between those who believe that Government has the power and the right to foster particular branches of industry by imposing upon the whole people burdens in defensible for any other purpose, and those who maintain that no man should be taxed for the benefit of anybody else, but that all taxes should be adjusted solely with intent to raise the needed revenue at the least pos sible expense to the whole people. That ques tion once fairly presented, the issue will be neither doubtful nor distant. SPECIAL NOTICES. tiST" NORTHERN LIBERTIES AND PENN TOWNSHIP RAILROaD CO., Olllce No. 227 H. dj mm btreet.
