BLANKETS , WORCESTER COUNTY FAIR tip eeh of Gen. Butler—The Rela tions of Capital and Labor DIN. cussed—The Legislature Lectured —Special Legislation Denounced. General. Benjamin F. Butler was the orator at the Worcester County Agricultural Society's Fair, at Worcester, Mass., which opened on the 23d ult. General Butler considered, as his theme, "the aids given by' Legislature to agriculture, and the relation which the labor of the artisan bears to that in the field." As n sort of intro duction, he spoke of the general success of the strikes of artisans and mechanics, and called attention to the fact that none of these strikes or collisions have as yet taken place in farm labor, nor has such labor been affected by them, save in degree, as the wages of labor, more or less skilled, have been thereby raised. Pro ceeding to explain this, he examined first the causes and objects of these collisions of labor and capital. CAUSES AND OBJECTS OF STRINES No one can doubt, he said, that in all me chanical and manufacturing industries the pro duction—or, more strictly speaking, the capa bility of production—has increased tenfold within the last fifty years. The application of the steaiMengine as a motive power, the im provements In Machinery in the production of every • manufactured necessary and nearly every luxury of life, have so cheapened their cost as to convert many luxuries into necessi ties. The facilities of transportation have brought the comforts 'of life to every man's hearth ; and, of course, following so great in crease of production, has come a correspond ing increase of profits to the producer on that production. Now, if with the profits on the products of mechanics and manufactures by manual labor solely, or nixed by rude machinery, it requir ed—as a half a citatory it did—the laborer to work from twelve to fourteen hours a day to obtain the ordinary means of subsistence, it would seem that, with this great increase of production from his labor aided by more per fect machinery, he might be able to obtain the same means of comfortable subsistence—spe cially as they are cheapened by this very fa cility of production—with at least half as many hours ; or, if working noire hours, he should obtain greater rewards for his industry, so as soon to place him beyond the necessity of labor. But while in many cases it is trite that the workman has become the master mechanic employing others, and has thereby obtained ' comfort and independence, and in a great measure wealth, yet it is impossible not to see that the condition of the mass of workmen is I not much advanced ; and these cases of the bettered condition of the Master workmen Ihave come, not from the improved price of their own labor, but from their ability to em ploy and take the profit of the labors of others, *ldle we see the dividends or rewards which the capitalist or employer has received from this increase of manufacturing or mechanical production have created vast fortunes and enormous aggregations of wealth. Bence we may infer, with logical accuracy, that there is not yet a fair division of the pro fits of mechanical and manufacturing labor be tleen the capitalists and the workmen. The capitalist, as a rule, grows rich ; the workman grows only a little more comfortable ; and that comfort conies because he is enabled, front the very production of his labor, to buy some of tlo comforts of life at less prices in compari son with the wages he receives. Now, there are two ways in which an equal division of profits from the union of capital and industry can be made ; one, in giving higher price for labor, so that the workman would not be obliged to be employed so long to obtain the means of a livelihood ; and the other is, by shortening the hours daily which he works for the same pay, to wit : the memos of ob taining a livelihood. Therefore the struggle is now going on, not only in this country but abroad, in both directions, for such equal di vision. On the one side, workmen are insist ing that they shall have more pay ; on the other hand, other workmen are insisting that thy' shall work less hours the same pay, which is another mode or arriving at the same result. Wily FARM LABORERS DO NOT STRIRL It must be first considered that there is a lack of increase in the capacity for production of tic land within the laA half century, as com pared with the increase of production in every thmg which goes to make the necessaries of. lib coming front nutmillictures and tile arts. Tme, the machine-reaper, mower,- thresher atd rake have aided in some degree the labor of the former, but it cannot Mil to be observed tint almost all the improvements of agricultu ral machinery only aid hint to gather the re . suts of his toil, but do not make a spire of grtss'or blade of corn grow where there was nit one before. The plow is the same with wilch our fathers broke the furrow ; the hoe, the shovel, the spade, are the same. The cal tbator and like contrivances have lightened insome degree your labors, but only in the thmsandth part of a degree as compared with tic production of the power-loom over the lean of a Half century since. Therefore it is tent there has been, and from the nature of tings can be, no strike by the farm laborer fb a larger share of the profltsof farming, lbr tore arc no great profits to divide. The farm livorer does not ask to shorten his botirs of l hor s because with those hours shortened his e,nieity for production Would not keep him !but starvation. Ile does not combine to take the farmer pay greater wages, because aw substantial increase of price would render mployment of farming quite impossible. Be eon of this want of increase of production oi the farm comes the well-known fact that tU profits from agricultural labor are the least any department of human industry. The 4coveries of chemistry, the invention of swum have aided It in a degree ; but still cues back to the farmer the normal and prim- OM condition that " in the sweat of thy face" -not by the labor of the steam-engine) "halt thou eat thy bread." The profits of 'refitment of capital in farming and labor On th farm arc but little advanced from what Lhy were at the beginning of the century, I bno means mean to say that farm wages hve not risen, but they have risen because of ti high prices paid in manufacturing, me- Otnical and commercial 'pursuits, and the her rewards to be obtained by the invest nnt and employment of capital in such bur sas. hence it is that all our boys leave the Om to go into other business, hardly one 're fining to take care of the homestead ; and hie° it is that the father encourages the boy Wave the'farm to become the broker, the biker, the merchant or the manufacturer— s;, and, too often, indorses is note or mort- Wes the farm, to raise the capital with whiCh U boy is hi start in business. As the records pmercantile and business pursuits show that y one In a hundred is In a high degree sue- Psful, if the boy is unfortunate, then the old hnestead goes, and the father and the mother tier down to their graves in helpless poverty, pressed by the thought that they have been Tined by the darling son whose haste to be they themselves have quickened and ;ed. ~p .X-11 WHY AB/MCELWEE PATS BO 'LITTLE 'taming with the thesis—as we must Jo— t all the actual means of subsistence to man St come out of the earth at first, and that all other pursuit, are only to add to his com- forts and luxury, or to obtain to the individual more than an equal share of such comforts and luxuries, and then comparing the legal and mechanical machinery Which has been devised to assist those other pursuits, it will be seen at once why agricultural production hasnot been in a greater degrai increased, and is with us among the I eastrem unerative of employments. Nothing do more forcibly illustrates this than a glance at the aids which other occupations receive from legislative action. , Out of nearly six hundred nets passed by the bust Legisla ture only one was to promote agriculture, and that was to give the Board of Agriculture ) i power to employ, a clerk and to en *age lectur ers. This was all the aid, direct indirect, that the farming interest of Massac melts re ceived from the Legislature of 1869 • • • wio,t, •,., I.••,,sym kali/ ..f bread only to-all IMa sack !•' The direct expenditure in behalf of hgricul• tore, :;1,400! while $7,000, it addition to $8,00) heretofore appropriated, was in the s ime year appropriMed tin• the purpose of re publishing the Ilislory of the inredlebrate, Ani mals of Massachusetts, w'hich being interpreted is the history of animals lacking backbone. Ile by no means wished to urge that this last expenditure was unnecessary ; partly because, although that. kind of animal is not cdnlined to Massachusetts, yet, as it is supposed that the politicians are generally inclukled in that class, so therefore the republication of such history might have become a sort of State necessity. TOO M I,E(usi.ATIoN Agriculture asks for no special legislation. It is not benefited by any legislation whatever except such as shall preserve the morals of the people and the rights of property and person.• Indeed, the best legislation to aid, the tilli9o of the earth is that which lejs it most sevvtly alone. But what ought to be complained of is the fostering of every interest by special laws, giving to them every power that law can give to association and combination—all interests save one. Looking through this large volumes of acts, we find no act in aid of labor or authorizing any association of labor. We have already seen that. agricultural labor may not be benefited by associatiiv,i but it by no meaos follows Unit manufafuring and mechanical labor might not lie so. It has been shown that the farmer cannot be helped by legislation. What he should demand is . that he should not be impeded by legislation. Any law which perniits or assists any indi vidual o• society to get his living without labor, Is a tax direct, inevitable and oppressive upon the laboring Interest of the community, and is an injustice to every laborer and every farmer. This system of. special legislation which has grown up until it takes the Legis• lature six months in the year to pass laws to guide the State for the other six months, has clime to he an evil, to alleviate, aye, to eradi cate which I call upon the only disinterested body of nien—the farmers of Nassachusetts— to interpose. RAILROAD SCHEMES. 0 In reply to thise suggestions I may be an swered, he said, as it is the stock reply of those asking special legislation, that incorporating railroads and aiding means of transportation of persons and products are of equal advan tage to the agricultural interest with that of any other ; that the special legislation of which I have complained 4llts built up a system of railroads over the State which has largely con ducted to its prosperity. A large part of this may be admitted to be true, and yet it is no answer to our arennumt. Tim legislation which has built railroads, from which capital and capitalists may realize large dividends and immense fortunes, may and does indeed ben efit the State, but at it very enormous expense to the taxydyer and producer. Dividends of ten or tifteen per cent., railroad stocks increas ing from par to 110 per cent., are only to be sustained by rates of fare which are burden some and oppressive to those needing the means of cheap transportation to get their pittance to mai ket. And is not a fact that the railroads find it for thefft interest so to manage their affairs and to adjast their tariff of charges as to favor the long lines of trans portation—thus to entice the wheat and flour and corn of the West to come to Boston for shipment and not to New-Vork—rather than in favor of the local agricultural interests of :Massachusetts? Again, the undertaking of one of the most gigantic engineering enterprises of the age— tlw boring of a tunnel live miles through a mountain—is not, if I understand it, although the millions requisite for the accotuplishinent of the object are to come froni taxation, in tended to build up the local interests of Mas sachusetts furthers, but is to make a through line to the great West in the interest of capi tal invested in the banking, mercantile and manutkcturing pursuits of the State. Rail roads have now become the actual common highways of the country, and should be man. aged for the benefit of the people thereof, and mit, as now, for the benefit, of the few having them iu charge, and scarcely even in behalf a the stockholders. We are not complaining of railroads ; we arc not complaining of busi ness enterprises ; but we are complaining of those laws and *that theory of law-making which gives one man an advantage over others. I= Let us take an illustration. It is said there is a gentleman in a neighboring State, who, at 21, was employed in conveying passengers witlia single pair of oars from New-Jersey to New-York, who,, by his enterprise—by taking advantage of the laws regulating the means of traesportetion of passengers and merchan dise—at the age of threescore and ten has accumulated as many millions of dollars. Nov we do not object to the enterprise, the industry and energy which can accumulate as much ; but what we do object to is, that the laws regulating what lAN become a prime ne cessity of life—the transportation of food and merchandise and the person—the common highways of the people, by land and by sea— mn be.so manipulated that any maw in a sin gle lifetime, by any means, can accumulate such a fortune. Ile cannot have made so great a muss of wealth without taking from others what should have been by them enjoyed. In Other words, he lets got more, much more, than his share, giving credit for all the ability he pOssesses. Ile may not be blannible in having acquired so much ; but what shall we say or the laws which In a country of equal rights, and therefore of what should be equal laws, will make it possible for one man so to overtop all others in wealth, which must be produced by labor from the earth at last? I= This state of things has not yet gone past remedy. Let us tithe timely warning. Let us examine carefully into the evils of this sys tem of legislation. Let us reform theM alto gether. One means of Meventing too much legislation would be meetings of the Legisla ture once in two or four years only. We bare a system of general laws, come down front our ththerii, with all - their wisdom per fected now through,more than eighty years of careful revision, ample for all the general wants of the people ; ample to punish crime, to de-. termitic rights, to protect person and preserve property ; ample for all purposes for which laws are good. Why Is it then that we should spend so much time in making others, or rather In doing those legislative acts which are only the means of private advancement ? ?deny years ago the excuse for acts of incor poration was that there was' not sufficient cap. Mil in the hands of individuals to enable the undertaking of large industrial enterprises, and therefore it was necessary to associate the means of many for such purposes. Now, as , we have seen, there are accumulations of indi vidual wealth sufficient for all purposes—many and many individuals carrying on larger in dustrial enterprises titan Corporations ; so that the reason failing, what can be said why the making of corporations should not stop ? Are they now anything more than means by which people can associate together to commence en terprises of which, if successful, they reap the benefit, and if lost or unproductive, by getting rid of individual responsibility, they throw the burden of the failure upon innocent persons, and generally upon industrial classes?, While true his that agriculture - has all its discouragements and all its difficulties, and that it never can be the most lucrative employ ment of men, yet the tillage of the land will ever be the favorite one. Nearly all men in professional or mercantile or manufacturing life look forward, as the end and object anti finish of their exertions, to a time when they may leave the turmoil of business and find the tranquil delights of old age hl the- culture of the land. To become farmers, in fact, is the end of all their aspirations, of nll their endeav ors, of all their enterprises. The shipmaiter who plows every ocean, visits every country, observt Ft the fertility of every soil, tastes of the fruits of the tropical clime, wanders amid the monuments of grandeur and civilization of the old world, still at last returns to the cultiva. lion of the land, even the sands of Cape Cod. It seems the yearning desire of the human heart to return to the bosom of mother earth. Well may it be so : for to the purifying and revivifying influence of the farm and the country we owe most that is stable in govein 4nient, most that is patriotic in thought and loyal its eedenior. The battles for the Union in the late rehettien were fought in a great degree by the farmer bows of the country. A mnjority of those that went forth at the first call left theplow in the furrow or dropped the shovel or spade hi the garden. pp: , corrup tions, the vices of cities have so fur not readied . the land.; and to the country the statesman must look for the stability and safety and purity of the ;laws. There is it reason why this must be so. In the country there is time for rellectiotth time for thought. In the city, maid the whirl and turmoil of the clashing . purßuits of aggregated men, there is time only for the perceptions.. jn the city man lives guided by his eyes and Ins senses ; id n eas. the country he lives in his relleet'vons and The occupation of tilling the rutin, J need not say to you, gives health and strength to the body, us well as purity of the mind. Who ever, tilling the soil, is inclined to look with envy upon the successes of his neighbor in the accumulation of wealth, let him console himself with the remembrance that at last that neighbor will yearn to return to the soil again to till it, and in it to find his last resting place. A TRUE STORY OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN. During the summer of the most disastrous and doubtful year of the late American war, the Colonel of a New Hampshire regiment lay for some weeks extremely ill of camp fever, :near Hampton Roads, in Virginia. Hearing cdlis critical condition, his wife left her North elm Ilrome, and after much difficulty, made her way xi his beds de. Her cheerful presence and careful, nursing so far restored him that he was in a elm t time able to be transferred to Wash ington. In the Pvtomac river the steamer in which the invalid en beer Col. Scott, and his ihraily. bad taken passage, was sunk, in a collision with a large vessel, in the night time. The crew and Jawarly all the soldiers on board were rescued or save...l: themselves * ; but amid the horrible cout;usion of the steno, Cob Scott be came separated frau:this wife, and she was lost. The Colonel :was pici:ed up in the Water by the crew of the larger steamer, and under his direction every effort was made to discover his wife or rather her hudY, for all hope finding Tier alive,was tintudoneil. The sail search was fruitless,.; it was resumed in the morning, the people.a.long the shore, humane Confederates, lendiugabeir aid. Rut the gray sullen river refused to give up its dead, and the young officer, ludflirantic with grief, was compelled to go to Washington. Within a week,however, he received word that the body had been washed oil slire; that these good country people, generous foes, had t.ettured it, eared for it, and were keeping it for hint. It happened that just at that time Ampera• tivc orders were issued from the War De partment prohibiting all intercourse with the peninsula—a necessary precaution against the premature disclosure of Important military plans. So it was with some misgivings that Col. Scott applied to Secretary Stanton for a leave to return to Virginia, on his inelanclailY duty. "impossible, Colonel," replied Mr. Stanton, " no one can have leave to go down the river, at this time, on any private mission whatever. Our present exigencies demand the most strin gent regulations, and I hope I need not say to you that no merely personal consideration should be 'allowed to interfere with the na tional interests. Your case is a sad one, but this is a critical, perilous, cruel tittle. The dead must Wry the dead." The Colonel would have entreated, but the busy Secretary eut him short with another "impossible," front which there was absolute ly no appeal. lie went forth front the pres ence, and returned to the hotel quite over whelmed. Fortunately he was that afternoon Visited by a friend to whom lie told the story of hi,s unsuccessful application and sad perplexity, and who Immediately exclaimed, " Why not apply to the President t" The Colonel had but little hope, but ac. knowledging that the plan was worth trying, drove to the White House. They were too late. It was Saturday even ing and Mr. Lincoln had gone to spend the Sunday at Soldier's Rest, his summer retreat. This was but a feW miles from town, and the Colonel's indomitable friend proposed they should follow hint out, and. they went. There was then a popular belief that all the wronged, the 'troubled, the suffering could tind a refuge in " Father Abraham's capacious bosom ;" belief that was not far out of the way. Yet there were times when, over-burdened, wea ried, tortured, the patriarch longed to clear that asylum of its forlorn inmates, to bolt and bar and double-lock it against the world ; times. when life became to hard and perplex ing for his genial, honest nature, too serious and tragic and rascally a thing by half. It happened, unluckily, that the poor Colo nel and his friend found the President in one of his most despondent and disgusted moods. lie was in his little private parlor, alone in the gloaming. Ile was lounging loosely in a large rocking chair, jutting over it in all directions. Ills slippered feet were exalted, his rough head was thrown back, his Yong throat bare— he was in his shirt sleeves. Yes, dear falstidi ous English reader, it was genuine Yankee I.oandon—moko the most of it. Ile turned upon his visitors with a look of almost savage inquiry, There was, indeed, in his usually pleasant eyes a wild, angry gleam—B something like the glare of a wor ried animal at bay. Colonel Scott proceeded very modestly to tell his story ; but the President interrupted him. to say brusquely, "Go to Stanton, this !this business." ROBERT rREDELL, JR.,.
