The WKKrlunshiw beou i1Ud
a 'calamity howler" because oi
our plain utterances ot last
on tho labor onestiou. We are told
that the present condition of the
laboring man is the beat in
Unite Stated of any place m me
world. Supposing we admit t'1"1
to be a foot, does it prove anything
against our position? Ketuember,
first that we were a protectionist,
not because protection was a repub
lican principle, but because the
republican party taught that prin
ciple. We believed protection, was
for the beueflt of the lalwrlng man,
while protection did much, and did
more, vastly more, than our demo
emtio Mends can hope to do with
tariff for revenue ouly, yet it still
lacked something which must in
Wl to ulace the mau who labor
on a plan with the man who by
lair means or find has already
nhtnined wealth. We do not seek
to take away from the landed pro
prioter His land, nor from the
money lender his money, but to so
elevate the man who must depend
noon either his muscle or brain,
that he may be protected KI
the enslaving tendencies of the
BtitA f affairs. The rich
Www
are crowing richer, not because
nT... ma mora industrious, not
because they are more talented,
but because they are ricti. lu-j
dustry, thrift and talcut alone
should accumulate wealth. This
every man is free to use. But
what of those persons who by
means of our present laws have
secured the favorable means for
accumulating wealth and are by
legislation permitted to prey upon
their fellow man? Shall they be
left alone to harass those less for
tunate fellow men, who had they
the same opportunities could do
more with the possessions than the
present ones who hold them in a
grip of iron; or shall these be
given an equal Bhow in the race for
an existence and for the comforts
of life. What of it if the condition
of the American laborer i better
that of men in the other countries,
why cannot their condition be
oima hnttar still! Is our
1UOUO V '
eoverunieut made to protect a few
of her citizens only, or is it made
toprotectall? We believe in pro
tectlon. but it must be a protoc
Hon of all who need it, and most
of all of those who deserve it, the
industrious farmer, carpenter,
bricklayer, merchaut, and others
who depend upon their hands for
a livelihood, ami not to a class
trrowine daily more arrogant, who
demand the most labor at the least
possible price, in order that they
may erow richer aud richer. Pro
tection is our motto, but it must
mean protection to the Inlxirwg
. . classes. The tendency of the times
' ia towards less protection,
demand more protection,
alone for the laborer in
, factory, but on the' farm', in
coal, the iron, the gold, the silver,
Kleot the men who will lnt ad
vance the material Interest of
Independence. Moth ticket have
excellent material. There are good
men ou both ticket, who are com
petent to manage' our city affairs.
Elect those men, and let the one
who may be Incompetent, If there
are any, or corrupt, stay at home.
Wk question the wisdom of our
county court In cutting down the
salary of the school superintendent
of I'olk Comity to loss, than a bare
living. The comity at largo,
through our public schools, will le
the sufferer. The office of school
suiwiutondeut requires a man who
will devote his whole time to the
work. It is not au office of honor,
but one of work. The former sal
arv of T30 a veur was none too
large when the qualifications re
quired ol a school suiwu lutendent
are considered. Tho present salary
of fifty dollars a month, and pay all
his own expeuaea, means either a
net salary of loss than f 25.00
month or n neglect of the duties of
the nice. Are we prepared for a
retrograde movement in that direction?

Lkt our laws le made to protect

not to tho man who by fortunate

from those who are now wealthy

You cannot legislate meu to le

legislate to give men an opjwrtuuity
to become temperate, to accumulate
wealth through honest lubor, and
their natural Inclinations are then
towards a life devoted to making
their fellow man happier. The

The two primary factors of produc
tion, without which nothing wnatever
can be produced, are land and labor.
To these essential factors la added,
when pnaluutloD paaaea beyond primi
tive forms, a third factor, capital
which consist of the product of laud
and lalsir (wealth) used for the purpose
of facilitating the production of more
wealth. Thus In production, at It goes

ton are laud, labor, and capital, aud
since land la in moaern civuianou
made a subject of private ownership,
the proceeds of production are divided
between the land-owner, the latior-
owner, and the capital-owner.
Hut between these factors of produc
tion there exists an essential difference.
Land Is the purely passive factor; labor
and capital are the active motors me
factors by whose application and ac
cording to whose application wenlth is
brouirht forth. Therefore, It Is only
that part of the produce which goes to
labor and capital that constitutes the
reward of producers and stimulates
production. The land-owner is in no
sense a producer be adds nothing
whatever to the sum of productive
forces, and that portion of the proceeds
of production which he receives for the
use of natural opportunities no more
rewards and stimulates production tnan
does that portion of their crops which
mmerHtltlous savages might burn up
before an Idol lu thank-offering for the
sunlight that had ripened them. There
enn bo no alior until mere is a man
there can be no capital until man has
worked and saved; but land was here

Wa do not know whether the light which
left the sun 8,000 years ago Is still travel
tug outward with almost undiminished
energy or whether nearly all Is already
dissipated In beat, warming the liuiiiiit
ferons ether or ponderabla Isxlies which
have obstructed it course. We may, 1
think, feel sure that it la partly still
traveling outward as radiant beat, and
partly spent (or dissipated) in warming
ponderable matter (or ponderable mat
tor and the luminiferons ether).
The running down of the weight In
the clock work has Its perfcet analogue,
as Uulmholta was, 1 Mieve, In reality
the very first to point out In the shrink
age of the sun from century to centfiry
under the influence or the mutual grav
itational attractions between Its parts.
The beat producing etllciency of the lire
which there would be if the sun were a
Blobe of annpowder or giincol ton burn
ilia- from Its outward surface Inward
that is to say, the work done by the po
tential energy of the chemical amiiiiy
between nnoomblned oxygen and carbon
and hydrocarlHins, attract) w forces as
truly forces and subject to dynamic law
as Is the force of gravity Itself, Is abso
lutely Infinitesimal in comparison with
the work done by the gravitational at
traction on the shrinking mass adduced
by iielmholti as tho real source of the
sun s heat.
The wuolo story of energy now In the
snn, whether of actual beat correspond
ing to the sun's high temperature or or
potential energy (as of the not run down
weight Of tlieciocsworx) poienuai en-
. . , ii
ergy of gravitation aejieiiuiim on wo
extont of future shrinkage which the
inn is destined to experience is essen
tially finite, and there is much less of it
now than there was 800,000 years ago.
Similar considerations of action on a
viwtlv smaller scale are of course appli
cable to terrestial plutonlo energy, and
thoroughly dispose of the terrestial "per
petual motion" by which Lyell and other
followers of Huttoti, on as sonnd prin
ciples as those of the hnmhlcst mechan
ical perpetual mottonist, tried to find
that the earth can go ou forever as It in,
illuminated by the snn from Infinity of
time past to infinity of time future, al
ways a habitation for race after race of
plants and animuls, built on the ruins of
the habitations of preceding races of
plants and animals.
The doctrine of the "dissipation ener
gy" forces upon us the conclusion that
within a fluite period of Hlnio past tho
earth must have been, and within a fin
ite period of time to come must again
be, unfit for the habitation of man as at
present constituted unless operations
have been and are to bo performed
which are impossible nndor the laws
governing the known operations going
on at present In the material world,
