.__E Red Republican, Edited By G. Julian...
. __ e RED REPUBLICAN , Edited by G . Julian Babkex * . Noa . 7 and 8 . London published by S . Y . Collins , 113 , Fleet-Btreet . It is a good sign when a publication in--creases in value as it increases in . age ; and , decidedly , these two ntunhers of the Red Republican ( for August 3 rd and August 10 th ) and tra
are the best written , most spirited , - _wiinproinising of the numbers hitherto published . Commencing in No . 7 , and concluding in No . 8 , is an elaborate review of " _PaJmer' _ston s Folicy . " The reviewer , while _piifreriidDg _PaJraerston's pretentions to the character of a "Liberal , " at the same time exposes _the'truculency of the Tories , and the humbug of the Peace-mongers . Commenting on these latter gentry , the Editor of the Republican observe "" that— '
The non-interventionists and peace-at-any-price men were represented in the discussion by Sir Wm . Holesworth andfMr . Cobden . The former , though he opposed the vote of confidence , avowed himself to be " a willingfoUower of her Majesty ' s ministers , _iand a cordial ; supporter of their domestic policy . " The _memberof Southwark is a precious reformer ! r member for the" West Hiding , ' in pursuing the _^ Course betook , certainly acted with consistency . _TJelieviBg , to quote the words of -Mr . Cockburn , ¦ «* that man was created by heaven for growing , manufacturing , and consuming cotton . " Mr . Cobden very naturally objects to all interference , in the affairs 6 f Other countries : such interference being
" calculated to add to the national expenditure , and diminish the profits of the manufacturer--. Mr . Cobden no more favours democracy than does Palmerston or Stanley . True , he sympathises with foreign nations " struggling for liberty np to the point we have attained . " Mark , net the " point' ofdemocracy , —not to the " point" of repnblica-_ km , but merely to the " point" of the blessed British _Constitution—the humbug of Queens , Lords , and Commons—the rule of landlords and insurers ! But even to the " point" be does go , he holds to the principle of nori-interventioh , and " avows that he wonld have denounced the interfe rence of our government on behalf of Hungary , as
ie denounced the attack upon that country by ¦ _Bussia : a precious sympathiser ! Seeing his fellow-. man struggling for life and liberty against a band of "brigands , the generous inillocrat would vent much " "virtuous indignation " against tbe assailant ' 1 , and would wish the assailed well out of his trouble , but the devil a bit would he lend a helping hand to save the victim from the murderous designs of his _TUfjfianly enemies . From- such sympathisers , " good Lord deliver us . " Of such non-intervention there has been too much already . Upon that policy the English government acted wben the allied tyrants ¦ crushed the constitutionalists of Spain and _^ Naples . Again , when Austria trampled upon the Italian patriots of 1831 . Again , when Cracow was annexed to Austria . Again , wben the brigand armies . of
Prance , Spain , Aastria , and Kaples , invaded and destroyed the Boman Republic . 'And again , when Bussia hurled her Cossacks against Hungary . As long as despotism exists in Europe , —as long as a angle people shall groan under tbe oppression of a foreign power , _—« o long the principle of non-inter vention is impossible . By the tyrants it wiU be scorned and repudiated , and if acted upon at all , it ean only be by those who will use it as a cloak to cover _^ cowardice and dishonesty—by those who ought to intervene for the . protection of theweak against the powerful , but who , deserting their duty , will sees : to disguise their treason to . humanity , by professing" to _aftt in the name of a * ' principle "—a principle which , tinder existing circumstance ? , is opposed tothe welfare of the peoples , the freedom of nations , and the progression ofthe human race .
The Editor of the Med Republican truly adds : — The Tories would make common cause with the -iyrants against : the nations . The Whigs - would = patronise reform to the extent of admitting the bourgeoisie to share the despotism of princes and aristocrats . The Manchester school would introduce the little shopocracy to share the political and -social supremacy claimed by the classes above them . All three make common cause against the masses . All three hate democracy as-the devil is said to . hate holy water . All three are the sworn enemies of democratic and social justice . , And against all three the people of all lands must pro-© aim " war to the knife . " The Editor has two other " wholehog " -articles in these numbers . The one entitled
"Koyar Paupers and Plundererfl , " and the « th ? r " Bringing Royalty into contempt , " founded upon the Parliamentary grant to the hew Duke of Cambridge , and the voting of Marlborough . House to the Prince of "Walesa hoy , onl y xdne year * of age . We should say " feat these- _Articles will insure royal patronage for the Red Republican !

' . ' '
The new * dodge of "A Penny , Monument to Sir Robert Peel , " is ., admirably exposed in a most ably _w-ritten article , entitled . "Middle Class Dodges , and Proletarian Gullibility in 1850 . " . ; l " I am free to confess , " says the writer , "that however great may be the talent for _sleight-bfhand tricks , however monstrous the humbug and hypocrisy of the _bourgeoispleaders , ' as displayediin their recent dealings withthe proletarians , yet the latter possess a proportionately great capacity for being deceived hy these tricks—for . swaUowihg . tliat humbug . Ah immense fund of proletarian simplicity and credulity exists , as so much raw material ,
to be worked up for the private purposes of Messrs . _Walmsley , ¦• Cobden , Bright , and -Co . ; and' to do these gentlemen justice , their-assiduity is remarkable ; there is no slack time withfAbem . Bodge follows dodge—like Ban _^ uo ' _s . kings—in apparently interminable succession ; whilst gaping ' crowds Of starving disfranchised [ slaves surrroimd the' stage where these political charlatans and thimhleriggers play their tricks , and sell their nostrums to-the fools who take the selfish dogmas ofthe Manchester school to . be the "fVbrd of Life , and the Committee of the Parliamentary and" Financial Reformers ' to be so many new Evangelists who preach salvation to the people . ; '
After an elaborate review ofthe entire humbug , tbe writer concludes with the following eloquent outburst : — What ; I ask in God ' s name , did Sir Bobert Peel ever do for the Proletarians of England , that'tbey should honour his memory Is it on account of his Currency BiU of 1819 ?—by which he feathered his own seat pretty well , at the expense pf the taxpayers . If on this account a Proletarian Monument to Peel , Tfhy not a . Proletarian Temple to Hudson ? Why not a general Apotheosis and new . Proletarian Calendar of all the . Saints of Mammon worshi p ? . I challenge any one to point a single measure of Sir Bobert Peel ' s that has really made the condition of the Proletarians better than it was before that
mea-| sure became law . I would gladly acknowledge - his j claims on ¦ the" gratitude > of _bissuffering country men but no such claims exist . His political career may be summed up in a ; _Bingle _. sentence ; he-first patronized the landlords , then theZmoneghrds , and lefltiii Proletarians ti [ shift for themselves . _Yoii Proletarian fools , ' . who spent , or . _sre going to spend , yonr hard-earned money on " a monument in honour of a man whose whole life wns devoted to- tbe cause of your deadly enemies , oe c « w ' * tt « _t ! ¦ Bow down before the golden calf whatever shape it may assume ! Ess the feet of the _tithe-gatheringv mitred p riests , who pretend to ' be the followera _^ f the meak aHd lowly Jesus ! Do homage to the
whole host of Protectionist landowners ; free trading bourgeois profitmongers ,. Jewish moneylenders , thimblerigging , fundholders , stockbrokers ,, and speculators , " who are draining your very lifeblood 1 U you accept the present system of society without protest , and raise monuments to the roan who did aU in his power to uphold it—then you - must go a _^ tep further , you must also [ accept all the results of fAat system of social arrangements , all the consequences which logically follow from the principles of _selffishness and class-legislation at the bottom of that
system . Beside the Peel monument and the Hudson Temple , you must raise altars to famine and pestilence , to physical suffering and _moraLdegradation . _Tou must worship the genius of _niisery and crime . You must rejoice at . the approach of tbe typhus fever which rages in the uhwholesome dweliings of the poor , and exult in the prostitution of yourwives and daughters for a morsel of bread , ' ¦ - ; A _featnre of this publication , not to he 1 found in any other , is that of translations from the " Democratic and Socialist Literature ' of the
Continent . ' Commencing in No . 2 , there has been'continued in each number a complete translation of the new-work of Joseph Mazzini , the Roman Triumvir . " Bepublicand Royalty in Italy , " is a wbrk which should be read by every one desirous of becoming acquainted -with tho true history _'< Jf the late Itsdian struggle . A reference to the columns of the Red Republican will ¦ show -that' the Italian cause w as lost riot so much through
foreign invasion , as hy domestic treason— the treason of the Princes and the iWoo ! erates of Italy . An account ' of the " Institutions and Laws of Republican America , " is another valuable _featore of the ' Red Republican ; In the matter of Poetry , this publication is unrivalled . The "Revolutionary Hymn ofthe Milanese , " in No . 8 , is a _splehaidcorriposition , but too lengthy for extract . "We iniist , however , make room for the third of

, . ^W . R-; —— • < Pbospects Of Labour ...
_, . _^ _w . r- ; —— _< PBOSPECTS OF LABOUR IN TOWN AND .. COUNTRY : _UNITED STATES . At this moment , we judge from inquiryand observation on a recent _^ _mlandtrip , there might be rrorjc found in the agricultural districts of our country for half a million sturdy , resolute men , and for nearly . as many . women . At the same time all our cities , are crowded with surplus " hands , " willing towork , yet doing nothing ,. because no work is offered"theni , but vainly seeking ' " something to do . " Tet , in spite of all remohstrahces _; 'thousands rush from the country to the cities , while comparatively few scatter from'the cities ; through the ' Tj ouiitrr ; And at very short intervals vfe are made
heartsick by the inquiry , " Can't you tell me ' where I may find ' something to do ?"•' ¦¦ - ¦¦ ¦ ' ¦ ; ; ' Something to do t Why what a place this is to seek it' . ' Here' we are / six hundred thousand human beings on anfareaof _fiyp'iniles squareii'erOwded , heated , sweltering , suffering . There . is not . work enough here , and cannot be , for a . fourth of those who are here , or , on the first intimation that they can have work , would instantly come here . ' , ' . We produce next'to no food on tbis narrow speck of earth , yet food we must have , to the value of many millions per annum , with cloth , timber , fuel , - & C . Three-fourths of * us have a bard-job . to live ,-and could not do it if we did not work harder than the mass of comitry people have' any . . idea" of . ' A , few
thousands are very wealthy , and can afford tolive anywhere ; rather a larger number _; have good incomes from their business , and are saving something ; but the great mass live quite up to their means and think they live lean . 'enough at . that . Many of our yOung unmarried irien are earning or making good incomes , and squandering _; thehulkof tbem m perilous and iaihbus dissipations , as they will one day realize and rue . But the great majority of our people work hard , live poorly , _savo nothing , and haye their match to get by _quarter-ida _^ . ' . For . poor women fand for poor men with large helpless families , there is no life so bard as that of a great city . : Rent , fuel , food ,- are all dear here ; while labour commands but little more than a fair
country price . At this moment , day labour comt niands'i dollar 121 cents ., and it has with difficulty obtained this , and will find still greater difficulty in keeping it . A labourer must be hearfcy . ' and : lucky who obtains 250 days ' , work in a year , which would yield him 281 1 dollars in the course of a year , supposing he gets all his due . Now a very middling house in a middling location rents for 400 dollars a year , and a poor family can hardly find , a shelter ( two rooms and a closet ) that costs leas than 80 dollars a year .- Decent wood for _^ fuel will cost a poor man 8 dollars per cord ; milk is sixpence per quart , and any handful of vegetables costs as raucb _; The day-labourer with a wife ahd two dependent
children who finds himself as well off on the last day of December as he was on the 1 st of January preceding" has done well . There is a littio better chance for / -the better-paid mechanics—machinists , ' ship-builders , hatters ; _ c . ; but not for -shoemakers , slop-work tailors , and many others . Even of those who have the best wages arid earn from 10 dollars to 15 dollars per week , not one in ten saves anything , though we think they should . But it is hard to crowd a family into two rooms when itis possible to pay for three or four , and so with regard to denying children fruit , milk , early vegetables , _ c . And if a poor man allows himself to think of comfort as well as economy , his chance of saving is ' small . "
We state these facts in order to enforce our entreaty to men and women who can live 'in the country ! not to crowd into the cities . Some ; young men who have talent , energy and means tolive here until they can find or make a position , and whose particular gift qualifies them to be useful only or mainly ih a city , will come , and ought to come ; but for the great majority even of single men this course is mistaken , while to bring a' family here without an assurance of steady { employment and twice as much pay as would support that family in a _Country village , is reckless—criminal , f i The down-trodden millions of Europe are crowding to our shores , and will continue to throng hither . They ought to come , and can generally do
well _u they love . work and-loathe strong drink . But even these—though most of them can live on half , that . would subsist an American—ought to hurry through , bur seaports without stopping arid plant themselves firmly on the Boil . Three years ' extra rent in a city would buy a decent cottage and ten . fair acres in the country ; and an able-bodied man who holds his cot and ten acres ought to be above asking favours of any one . " Still , there will always be enough immigrants stopping in the seaports—many too poor or too ignorant to do otherwise—to 'keep labour relatively ¦ much lower here than elsewhere . . _" " ' ... ' ., -, . The ; cities ,, then , must , swarm .:. We hoped , we might he . able before Congress adjourned to
proclaim the public lands free , and exhort every needy man to hasten tbither-and take possession of a home _.,, We now fear that Congress has wasted so much time in wrangling about slavery that noth'ng decisive will be done with"the land question . But free land is certain' ItwillcOme' before another presidential election , and it is high time the labouring poor were , qualifying themselves to . accept and improve the blessing . There are tens of thousands in our _city-f-hundreds of thousands in our seaports generally- _^ who ' ought to be learning the use of the axe , the plough , the scythe , the _prumng-hookj pr & i paratory to the glad hour which shall witness tho recognition of the right of all to homes . . Our labouring poor are unwisely , shortsighted ;
which , is one reason for their remaining poor . Fifty irishmen brf Germans land heire _' some morning _anS want : work . 'Suppose _three-chanees are open-to them : —1 \> To stop in the city andworkas labourers ( when they can-get work ) for nine shillings , per day ; 2 , To go two of three hundred miles inland ; and work on a railroad iat ninety cents per day ; or , . 3 . To work for good fa ' _rrnDrs « it eight dollars per _mbhthfor ' _ayear—of course ; with board and washing , ' and'no deduction for bad weather . -Now , half these men will accept the first offer and ; the other half . _, the . second ; while scarcely one . will think . the third chance ivorth his notice , and yet it is thfefbest of the three . ' At thb ' end of the year , the farmer ' s men will have saved quite as much as
the others ; while tbey have * learned- what is more toithem than all . their savings . Ten ! years hence , the city labourers nnd the railroad-graders will the just as poor , anubot nearly so strong and elastic , as when they landed , while the farmer ' s _rneh will veryiikely havo farms and dwellings of their own . Our . farmers ' nearly all cultivate their soil with too little labour—in other words , they don't half cultivate it . " Avery common excuse is that labour is so scarce and so high ' that they cannot afford to hare more 6 f iti' We believe tliis a ' gfeiit mistake , yet there is something ih ifc The prices of American labour are often quite as high as our slovenly system : of half-farming will justify . But if our large farmers would acquire the habit of . hiring oiie or two experienced , skilful Americans at liberal wages , _ancJ _wiihthemsiioreightimmigrants , who havo ' _wiilinghtlBds but ' everything to learn , and who could be -had at comparatively low wages , because worth _ino
- no more , the benefits would . be general , produce would be doubled ; the immigrants would gain the instructibh . and experience they , so much need , and for want of which , so many of them . throw away the best years oftheir life hi doing work _, badly , unskilfully , and out of season , on holdings of their own ; and the American workers would be worth more _thannow—their-skill _. and experience serving a wider purpose , ani they . could be , paid move . _Kext year the , immigrants -would be viorth higher wages ;' and . the year after they would ; be qualified to go on - lands ' * of their ovfu _^ and there willbe free lands by that time .
