R. g e CAPITAL AND INTEREST. “To the Editor of The Chicago Tribunc: Sin: Allow me to mako a few remarlks on that 1post important article in your last Sanday's yaper, abont “ Capital and Interest,” by M. Fr. ‘gastint. While proving thut tho duration of «pital and interest should bo eternal. M. Bastiat coutradicts himself. In tho aneccdoto of tho Jhouse, hie says: 1f Vaierius wishes to occupy ‘Alondor’s house for a year, ho is bound to sub- init to threo conditions : The first is to quit at tihe end of the year, and to restore the Louse in (food repuir, saving (he inevilalle decay mere duration. And, in the upec- ‘ote of tho plano, bo says that it ehould e returned o the end of the yeur i the same state in which i was when James featil to William. This would enable James to Jond ont his plane for years and years, o eternity. “IVe sce hero thal the owner of the honec has, in tfis courso of time, nothing to lend out, becanse tihe decay from more duration dostroys bis house; \ehilo the owner of the plane lends out rud geta componsation without end.. Now, which is right uf the two? A more important question than this has not Deen laid before the public in the last hundred yoms. From occan to ocean, from onc end of the civilized world to tho otner, we hear and have heard the cry, “Down with Capi- tnl!” With these two anecdotes commences our trial on this subjoct. We must keep in mind that the house and the plane are Capital in their original, natural shape; and what is true and right as to Capital in its natural shape or form is also right und true as to it in its trane- mutable form as money. When fifty annual payments, under the name of rent, arc the nght compensation fer tho owner of a house, then must fifty sunual payments for money which would be realized by selling the house and then lent out, bo also the right compensation. In such case we would have no eternul Capital with perpetual _interest, and the crv, “ Down with Capital!” would be substantiaily right. Dut, when tho doctrine in the anecdots of the plane is correct, then, of course, Capital is catitled to eternity, and all further tatking about tyrauny of Capitul is useless. ¥ opinion ir, that the*presens law which von- giders Capitzl us something cternal is monstrous and ivjurious to society ' receive for s pro- duct of rapidly decreasing valuo something of eternal value, is ditectly against the foundation of right. It is in conflict with our daily doings, by which nobody i entitled to reciives cent moro than what he gives. This is the reason why making coanterfeit money and buying goods for it are crimes, and_ not folerated amongst society. ' M. Tiastiar e, thierefore, wrong in Lis ancedote abcai cho plane, and not corect in his house-rentiny liusi- ness. A fow remarks will show it. Woall know that, when s landlord renis a Louse for 3 term of vears, ho has not ouly a loss caused by wind and weatber; Le bas an addi- tivual loss through ordinary uec. Sills, floors, doors, eud windows wear out at the expense of tho owner : and this is right, beeanse the only value of & bouse ic its nsefalness, and, if » land- lord transfers the nsefulness of that house fora certain compengation to. another party, he must allow the use of the house, aud with this use the wear and tear of silts, floors, ete., are in- separable. 5 Tt is all Tight enough that the rent shall pay for the Liouss. and bring 2 handsome surplus @ 3 ind out the tra: diration of interesi-henting éapital. wie havo to flud out first how long ull the products of labor, under the intluenco of patural decay, aud under tho influ- ence of orGiuary wsc, as we have seea alrendy will in uverage last. The resalt of thus, if five, ten, or twenty yeurs, is tho trne duration of in- terost-beariug “capital ; and this very expital must, during tlus tine, decroave in the sama proportion ns the usefulness of 8 machine or all other products.

Comnbinaiion to Countecract the Ine flucnce of Trades-Unions, London (D 19) Cormernonlenca «of the New Fork Our great political nensation last yesr was the attowpted “socizl alliance” botween the pecrs and the proletariat—an attempt which came to nothing because the Peers backed out of it. Probably the fact that the capitalists and manu- facturers of tho Kingdom bave now form:ad an immense trades-union of their own, to fight the trades-nuions of the workmen, will excize al- most 08 much sengation aa the abortive social alliance caused. This association will no: be a flash in tho pans itiso very serious and #olid thing. The organization, which wae por- fected at a meeting held here a few days 850, Las taken the name of the ** Nationa! Yed- eration of Associated Employers of Labor.” Itis & combination of empivyeis established to countereet tho inflnence of trades noions. It is, in fact, un amalgamation of employer’ associa- tions, united for the common object of defeud- ing capital sgainst the unjust dcinands of labor whether thoy are made through the channel of legislution in Parliument or whether they are mado through tho medium of strikes. The promoters profess that their orgamzation shall bo puraly defensive, and heuce thev declize to +gmulato the trades unions in espenditure.” They propose to collect and disseminazo throngh- out " tho conntry information bearing apon in- dustrial questions, for whicliparpose it is in con- templation to exteblish s weekly newspaper. The fcderation will also watch over every legislative propossl affecting omployers and emploved, with a view to influencing the same; it will encour— age the independence of non-unionists, and en- deavor “togive to education, inteilizenze, and capital their fair ehere of wfluence in the cou- stizuencies.” It would, therefore, szem from the rules aud printed doctuments of the federation that the employers have cetermined to accent tho ganntlet of the workingmen uniouists aud Szt themm, if that unbappy vecessity ehould aver ariso, with their ow: weapone. The success of such at ambitions object 83 this very zreatly dopends upon tho influerce and positon of tho men who take it in hand, or who givo it their approval. It would, I think, bave been almost impossible to have secured better names with thus object than appear on the list of the Coun- cil. The majority no doub: belong ro Lau- caehire and Yorkshiro, but it may not bs for- gotten that it is in those two countics that we find the largest employers in the kingdom, The President of tho Association is 3.
