Paris, April 18, 1871, The tempest rages. Shot like ram and shells like hall continue, while the sublime horror of the can- mon and the heartbreaking groans of the wounded and dying are heard night aud day—battle flelds strewn with dead, and the green verdure of spring watered by the blood of falien braves. The sky of Paris one mirror of fire from the cannon flashing In the alr and sending hundreds of victims 1nto eter- mity, The most beautiful quarters of the city are Geserted—the inhabitants driven from their sump- tuous homes, to seek shelter from the terrible bom- bardment, less merciful than that of the Prussians, Hunareds continue to leave the city, and really Paris tas a deserted look. The only activity seen 4s the great number removing their furniture to safe localities and the 1mmense wagons of ambulances filled with the wounded. Never even in the darkest day of siege and on the eve of starvation has poor Puris been so sad, During the siege 1t was winter and nature was not Enchanting, but now the beautitul spring weather @nd nature dressed in her robes of green has no effect to soothe tue anguish that reigns iu thia une Tortunate city. Desolation, ruin, want, misery, grief nd bloodshed are the attractions that Paris of to-day shows, ‘Every means have been used to reconcile the opposed parties, but ullin vain. Each day has @ more warlike aspect thau the preceding one, and the results are loss ot life. STILL DETERMINED. ‘The troops here are weary and fatigued, but will potgive up. Three times has the Porte Maillot been riddled with balls, and three times lave they built It up again, living three days at a time on dry bread and lard, and some days so hungry they have eaten the meat raw, and ove and all have the united ery, “Liberty or death!’ A delegation of Freemasous went to Versailles to effect a reconciliation, but their attempt was vain, They would not listen, WOMEN WARRIORS. A touching appeal and prociamation has been made by the female citizens of Paris, calling their sisters to arm and revenge tueir husbands, sons and brothers. “If we caanot obtain guns or bay one! let us use the stones of the pavements to crush the waitors and spoilers of liberty. What care we if ‘Weare victims, whea those we love are no more? ‘Toarms! to arms!’ The proclamation was pub- lished in the Vert/¢ and other leading journals. In the batt of Neuilly several women wo took par, were killed beaife their husbands, The cantinteres of the Sixiy-eighth and Sixty-first regiments were killed.

Roche- for replies to this charge by the following letter, which in the eyes of some readers merits publica- tion:—"Tne Mot a@Ordre has been reproached by correspondence aud by the press for having unveiled the treasures of Notre Dame. It now declares that M aware of any other cierical treasury they would hasten to mdicate it to the Commune.” Our eter- nat belief will be that Jesus Christ, being born i & stabie, the only treasure Notre Dame should possess 13 a box of straw. As to the ciboriums of saints, set and surrounded by emeralds and diamonds and other precious stones, we do not hesitate to declare them national property, coming from generous peo- ple to whom the Church promised paradise; and such @ promise brings many Imaginary gifts of great value, The only programme of the Catholic Church of the present day 1s La vourre ou Venfer.

Three priests were arrested yesterday at the Catho- lic colleze of Christian Brothers, Rue Qdinot, No, 27, and conveyed to the prison, where they were kinaly cared jor and saw “their brothers gone be- fore.” Notre Dame de Lorettes was entered by a company of National Guards and 10,000 francs’ worth of silver taken. The Afrancht says, in regard to “pillaging churches:’—Some journals continue the calumny that the churches are being pillaged. Tho exact truth 1s, all gold and silver found in them have been taken to the mint to make coin, and circulate what is badly needed—money. In so doing itis only change of usage—that Paris has @ right to trans- form what is her property, and that the gold and silver in churches are not private property but na- onal property of the city. A VISIT TO ASNIERES, The day before yesterday I went out by the Conr- selles gate to Asnivres, Passing the briage of boats at Lavallo, a very shaky affair, which 1s strong enough and wide enough for foot passengers and cayaliers, but not for carriages, 1 took my way through the streets o! Asnicres, now occupied by Ccominunists, and advanced to the extreme outposts, @ litle outside the village on the road to Argenteuil, ASNIERES. It 18 a pretty lttle place, full of cosey, comfortable cottayes, surrounded by gardens that would now be bloouung With Lowers were it not lor the blighting touch ol war. ‘Ihe most of these houses are aban- doned, except, as in some few cases, by an old do- mesuc jell to Keep watch and ward over empty Teoms and bare walls, Many of the gardens are oc- cupied by the soldiers, who have pierced the thick stone Walls which enclose them with loophoies for tueir rifles, and now hoid them as forts, THE ADVANCE POSTS OF THE CONTENDING FORCES are very close together here, and shots are ex- changed continually, the Communists holding As- nieres, the Versailles troops Colorules and Les Bruyéres, Just outside of the former the railway branches off, one line running to Versailles, the other to St. Germain; Jor a short distance they run paraliel and within easy rife shot of each other, and the National Guards are Seplozen, along the em- bankment ol the Versailles line, while the Versailles troops are behind the embankment, the line of St, Germain almost directly opposite. ‘these embank- ments, broad and high as they are, serve a3 excel- lent revoubts, and oniy need casemates in order to make thei strong as torts on one side at least. There they lie watching and shooting each other like savages—men wiio only a few weeks ago stood shoulder to shoulder defeading their homes against the Prussians. One of them told me he had a brother among the troops of Versailles, who, for all he knew, might be deuind the other embankment trying at that moment to shoot nim, “Do you tink he would join you if he could? I asked him, “Certainly he would,” was the reply; “but, of conrse, if he did it and was caugat he would be shot, most probabiy.’? DEADLY RESULTS, He offered to take me to a house where a man had been killed the day before, andi went. It was a house of cight or ten rooms, surrounded by a garden, and had not been occupied since the investment of the city by the Prussians, The man killed had been employed to paint it, and was actually at work When a seven pound shell trom Courbevoie came 1n through the wali on the second floor, striking him fairly in the head and pcabaring: his brains in every direction, Tne room in which it occurred presents A SICKENING SPECTACLE.

We heard @ good deai about the bar- barity of the Prussians in bombarding Paris and killing innocent people. BEVORE THE ATTACK, It soon grew quite dark, and sentinels were posted everywhere, 80 that one was met continually with the cry of Qui vive.” I found at last Coionel Guil- len, of the 173d battalion, on duty here, who in- formed me that they were in momentary expectation of ap attack, and invited me to stay all night with him, which invitauion Tat once accepted. We went the rounds of the eentries together—a dangerous and delicate service, as we were liable to be fired upon at any moment by some Franc-tireur of the other side. We sipped about cautiously in the dark- ness from post to post, and from sentry to sentry, the colonel giving instructions and seeing that the sentinels did their duty. He spoke English very well, and told me his father had been killed in the revolu- uon of 1845, and his brother exiled. His wife and children were somewhere in the south of France, but he had not heard from them for weeks. Poor fellow, he aid not think then that before six hours he would sharo the fate of hus fatner. ARTILLERY AND MUSKETRY IN THE DISTANCE. About eight a rapid tiring of artillery ana musketry was suddeuiy heard in the direction of Issy and Vauvres which graduatly extended itself to Mont Vaicrien ana Neuily, It seemed to be an attack all along the line, the long expected at- lack that was atlast to decide the fate of Paris aud arive out these vagabonas of the Commune who would not iight, Tne progress of the battle was listened to wita the most intense excitement by the Guards on this ide, Who were little less interested in it tuan Wose actually engaged in the gut.

But we got no a@uswer except in the way of Chassepot builets until ubout one o'clock in the morning, when they sent us aown a few shelis by way of letting us know how they were getung ou, None of then uid any mis- chief, however, as far as I could learn, although they all expioded in or near the viliage. ‘The mgat pasned away aud still the fighting con- tinued. ‘The fire from the guns of Vaterien could be seen filuminating the horizon like flashes of light- ning. The skirinishing continued all around us; but there was no very heavy firing. About three in the morning Colonel Guillen went to the extreie out- posts up on tne Argenteuil road, where there isa barricade. 10 @ half hour aiter he leit me he was BROUGHT BACK DEAD. He had ordered the barricade to be strengthened, the men said, and wasn the act of putting up a stone himseif, when @ ball struck him, traversing the spinal columu and killing’ fim instantly.

I thought that [coma pursue the thnocent calling of a newspaper correspondent in Paris without being calied to bear @ musket in the service of the Commune, but I have been many times mistaken in this matter, and In this Way one must be a veritable Mobue to see what is going on In Parts, and this duty calls a man ont at all hours and to all quarters of the city. For the past few aays I have been in the hapit of visiting friends, who are somewhat bet- ter domiciled than the patriots of Montmartre, end on three occasions the mouchards of the new régime | have approached the concierge, | “Who is this person, the man alrmg himself while we are fighting?” “Oh, he’s acitizen ot the United States.’ “A citizen of the United States?’ “Yes, monsieur.”’ The man reflects, “And what is he doing here?’ “On, he’s a journalist.”’ “Dens; and is @ journalist better than anyone else?” The following night Monsteur No, two makes his entrve and debat in the same manner, but nothing gains, Now, this 18 not so sertous tn Itself, or in fact go | disagreeabie to me; but it exemplifies a very pe- culiar state of affairs in Paris, What I have re- counted happens to every one who 16 not fortunate enough to look above forty years of age or below seventeen; and now I touch @ fact which has never before happened in this greatest of ail the cites of the world, m the cafes, concerts, theatres, hoiels, in every boulevard, and every street all’ that you meet are not in the roscribed ages— that is to say, youcannot find in Paris at this moment a Frenchman who 13 not in the National Guards, aud who is between seventeen and forty. Imagme what a stagnation exists here in consequence. Go into Peter's, inio the Café du Hel- der, the Uafe Riche or the Maison Doree and you find nobody but Englishmen, Americans, Spaniards or Italians. I have wandered from the Madeleine on several pleasant mornings during the past week, up towards the Porte St. Martin, endeavoring to aetect the young Frenchmen evading the conscription, Witn a plea- sant cigar in my mouth and swinging @ cane as if I were @ young republican with freshly wired rights, I accosted a pleasant looking young man with finely cut features and geutiemanly bearing the other day. “Pardon, Monsieur! A light if you please.” “Tem Angush,’? he responded, offering me his cigar, “On!” Treplied to this neediess fabrication, and after thankiug him walked on, He was evidently very much scared and turned the next corner. But aside trom the desolation exisung, there are many curious freaks now nouiceable every day—and all the outgrowth of the Commune. The *‘young gen? who used to “sport” m fancy colored shirts, and coats cut too broad for him at tne shoulders, has drawn ip his fine apparel, put aside his beaver and habited himself in the coarsest and oldest material commensurate with clean linen. The forms of disguise are absolutely innumerable. Youths trom seventeen to twenty-turee, with beard- less faces, readily play the roles of women, and when they appear in the streets they are women. of the town. A jovial American, accustomed to solicit women on the Boulevard, accosted one of these the other night, but was not answered, tie object of his addresses flying as rapidly as possibie. X. was not to be thwarted, especially as he always prided himself upon his attractions, At this moment he Was mortified at the opposition, apd pursued with vengeance and protestations of love.

I need not ba that there are many distressing cases where Frenchmen have remained enly tw be impressed into the service, and impressed against Cluseret’s own good judgement, and who, to conserve his position must be very cautious and very subordinate, A young man hidden away in the Rue Notre Dame de Loretio was seized yesterday and violently hurried to the prison. ‘ie shock 80 depressed his father that in a fit of desperation he jumped from the third story window and was instantly killed. 1 need not stop here to say that in France pater- nal affection is stronger than in any country of the earth, though corruption and social vices have un- dermined and putrified the body politic, Tne father in France js the mother in America, Instances of extreme maternal love here are rare, but take the confirmed » +, who in gambling helis and among fast: yomen has destroyed all his hopes and pvssess.ons on earth, and he will, if he has @ son, chersn for him @ wild attection that knows no bounds. I nave seen this olten during the past few days, fathers adopting every device to send their sons Irom harm’s reach and to get them from the limits where they will have to fight tor the Commune, Thus there is the sad side to this revolution as well asthe grotesque, and might say incomprehensible, Alter having travelled sn nearly every department of France as a corre- spondent of the HeRaLp during the war, I must say that I believe that this revolt will produce good effects in this unhappy country. Already 1t is teach- ing men that immunity does not always exist ior ostentatious wealth or elegant crimes; that the church, simply because linked to the State, does not and cannot control _legisiaion and set back progress; that such fossils as Thiers, and emotional orators as Favre, cannot array themselves against improvement and advance- ment, the need of which in France has produced the resent terrible national humiliation. And when I jook about these deserted streets and pass the closed doors of former thriving shops I cannot but think that nineteen years of an empire has not yet wound up its career. ‘The very men who are to-day gar- risoning Issy and Vanvres, and fignting at Le Valiols and Asnéires, are those who were the menace and the fear of Napoleon. But responsibility bas toned them down, aud the gravity of the situation has driven them to refiect and ponder. The know- ledge that Paris wiil soon he in a@ state of siege; that there are no Pallaaines, Chanzys, Bourbaki’s or Faidherbe’s to marcn to its relief; that starvation must ensue, or the revolution seize hoid of the Imperial Guard and the regular soldiers at Versailles—extremely impossible—have_ all brought the Commune to its calmer wisdom. I am no prophet; but three months cannot cure the 1r- ruption which has broken out, and which has not yet reached its severest phase. Those Americans who knew Paris when it glowed ‘with the exhibition of 1367 should see it now, pale and haggard Irom the civil war, and weeks hence, When perhaps it may be half ruined Yetween the imbecility and passion of its own population. Tho Programme of the Republican League. ‘The principal bases of the programme of the Re- pudlican Union League, which will be submitted to M. Thiers, are:—That the Department of the Seine be suppressed; that the suburban Communes shall enter the Department of, the, Seine et Oise; that tne Preiecture of Seine and the Pre- fecture of Police be abolished; that Paris be admiuisterea by a municipal council, elected by the scrutin de liste and by arrondisse- ment, every 20,000 of the inhabitants electing one councilor, aud a fraction of a thousand giving the right to elect one councillor more; that the couu- cil name either Mayors aud adjoints, or an execu- uve commission of from three to five members, whu would be substituted ior the present Mayors that the protection of Paris and the forts be clusively contided to the National Guard, saving in time of war; that the only troops that may ve permicted to enter Paris be men belonging to the en- gincers, whose services might be requirod to repair and keep up the fortifications; that tue stair of the Nationat Guard be appoimted by the If these proposals ore favorably ente! sailles it is believed thatthe League and its ad ins will seek to force the Commune into accepting nem, ITALY.

The Speech of Prince Bismarck On Fils Rela« tions with France. In the sitting of the German Parliament on the 24th ult, the loan of 120,000,000 thalers was finally sanctioned, only six members voting against it. In the course of the denate Prince Bismarck stated that en if the French Government should way the fret half milliard of the indemnity the evacuation of the forts, according to the terms of the treaty, Would only ensue alter the final conclusion of peace. ‘The peace negotiations at Brussels did not seem to be progressing us rapidly as might be wished, the French government appearing to think that on France becoming stronger with time, they would obiain better conditions. Prince Bisimarek added— “We shail, aowever, suffer no variation from the preliminaries of peace, Ou the outbreak of the movements in Paris, Germany did not raise any objections to some sligut deviations from the pre- luwuaries on the part of the Versailies government, Germany has thereby been forced into great financial sacrilices and the maintenance of considerable troops in France, beg competled to hoid herself at least suiticlently stroag to be prepared for all eventualities, Ifthe Frenct government does not pay the amount agreed upon for the maintenance of the German troops, 1 will be necessary again to have recourse to requisitions of foou and forage, The German authorities wiil not interiere im the internal affairs of France, though itis hardly possible to promise compiete abstencion under all circumstances.

Speech by the ied Prince=The Victories of the Late War—The Greatness of Prussia Had Its Origin in Srandenburg. An address was presented on March 25 to Prince Frederick Charles by a deputation of the municipal authorities of Berlin, to which his Royal Highness replied as lollows:— On my return from along and arduons war it isa great honor and pleasure to me to be greeted by the representa- tives of the city in which I was born and have long resided.

IRELAND. Fearful Exodus from the Green Isle—English Statesmen and Irish Emigrantse—The Posi- tions of Gladstono and Disraeli—Ocean Steamers Crowded With Passengers for the United States—Five Hundred Persons Evicted—The Cause of Irish Emigratioo— The Cure. DUBLIN, April 16, 1871. Still the tide rolls on. English statesmen will, doubtless, think that the case of Ireland 1s hopeless, since every panacea devised by them to remove our grievances has failed to effect its purpose; and I think I may say that this failure was uever more @pparent or more thoroughly recoguized by all classes than at present. After all that has been done for us during the last two years, I am nn- able to say that the people are more contented, or more hopeful of the future, or have greater Induce- ments to remain IN THEIR OWN LAND. Whether they have greater inducements or not is very questionable, but icis certain that the lower and middle classes show no disposition to remain among us. Provably English statesmen think it a good thing that the troublesome Celt 1s obliged to go forth, and that his place sboald be filled up with oxen. The only statesman of eminence in England who DEPLORED THE EXODUS of the Irish people was Mr. Disraeli, and he regarded this melancholy depletion “as the Gowlng away of a nation’s life biood.”’ But, in despite of Mr. Glad. stone’s remedial measures and of Mr. Disraeli’s tears, the Celts are going, and going with a ven- geace, From north, soath, east and west they are pouring out like a torrent, all bound for the shores of the United States. The chief porta of embarka- tion are Queenstown, Galway, Drogheda and Lon- donderry. The following extract from the Cork Daily Herald gives a melancholy picture of last week's emigration from the port of Queenstown: “For the accommodation of the multitudes of emi- grants the tour companies runniug steamers trom this port have been tried to the utmost, and EXTRA STEAMERS HAVS HAD TO BE STARTED, ‘as in previous years, to carry of the surplus left by the regular boats. This isin a great degree conse- quent on the rush of emigration from Liverpool, which has scarcely ever been greater than at pre- sent, Besides the mail boats, six large steamers have called at Queenstown during the past week and haye taken on boara upward of 1,490 passen- gers, nearly 500 more being left belind for lack of accommodation. During the current week there will be run three extra steamers belonging tothe Canard, National and Inman lines, so that al- together EIGHT TRANSATLANTIC STEAMERS wiil nave left the port during the week, each carry- ing an average of about two hundred and eighty passengers, or an aggregate of avout two thousand; yet it 1s fully expected that this mighty drain on the population will rather increase than diminish within the next few months.’? Were this the only port through which the Irisa emigrant passed on his way to the “Far West,” these figures are sufficiently startling to convince even the most thoughtless of the certain ruin which this exodus, if allowed to go on, will bring upon this country. But what is the fact? News has reached us from Drogheda that from that port 1,500 emigrants sailed @ during Easter week. In Londonderry aud Galway the same unhappy sceues are witnessed, The sea- son has scarcely yet begun, stil the ports are crowded with emigrants. What will be the state of things in a mozith or two hence? The present num- ber in all probability will ve DOUBLED OR PERHAPS TREBLED, and Jreland in one short season will lose, what she cannot spare, the services of 100,00 of the best and most usetul Of her children. It is uot the very poor Who now emigrate; they have been cleared off lo since, The emigrants tals year are nearly ail of the agricultural Class, who have just beca evicted, and, being provided witha littie capital, have resolyed to TRY THEIR FORTUNES IN THE Western States of the Union. They are young boys and giris, Well able and willing to work, and these are precisely the class of persons wanted at home, They come cniefly from tae midiaad counties—from Meath, Westmeath, King’s county, Queca’s county and Tipperary. They ate flying probavly from the anticipated suspension of the Habeas Corpus act, as the government, 1 18 thougiit, aiter the haster holi- duys Will ask for Increased powers to enable them to suppress crime in these districts, It may seem para- Goxical to say that Mr, Gladstone’s land bill is the chiel cause OF this fatal exodus, but such is the fact, Tue laudords, roused by the abridgment of WHAT THEY CALL THEIR RIGHTS, and dreading that, at no distant day, they wil be curtailed sti further, exercised to the utmost the powers stil lett them against their uniortunate Tenants; Aud Of course the weaker Went t2 the Wall, Notices vo quit daring the last few menths have veen served, and, indeed, are belug served, more ire- quenuy THAN AT ANY PEMOD IN THE PAST.

There were 103 houses on the property, chiefly laborers’ huts, whic Were inhabited by 600 human beings. I need not weary myself or your readers by any protracted recital of their wrongs and sufferings. Where are they—these FIVE HUNDRED MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN? Let echo answer. They are gone, and gone with a vengeance, Does Mr. Gladstone think that there can, that there ought to be, peace in this country 80 long as such scenes are allowed to be enacted with the sanction of the law of England? Does he think that the peasantry of Ireland ought tamely submit to be driven from their native soil, lixe the beasts of the fleld? If he is anxious to have peace in ireland he must destroy landlord power entirely and com- pletely. No true statesman, no sound political economist, can see a whole people hurrying tn this way from their homes without aeploring the cir- cuinstance aud dreading te result.

The Republican Demonstration in London—A Failure—The Causce—A Power to be Feared— The New Licensing Bill—Free Trade in Law—Art. Lonpon, April 19, 1871. Just asthe struggles of the Paris Commuue ap- pear to be coming to a close, and the fallacy of a section hoping to govern the nation is being proved, our republicans in the city determined to organize @ demonstration to express sympathy with their French brethren. The working classes were In- vited to meet in thear majestic numbers at diferent points of London, and with banner and flag proudly flying, march to the martial strains of brass bangs to the general trysting place—Trataigar square— thence republican Loudon would wend Its way in columns of unbroken line, composed of thougntfal, hard-working patriots, to Hyde Park, anda there, m the very heart of aristocracy and to the very teeth of their proud enemies, declare their programme of liverté, dqalité et fraernué, or, ratuer their reading of this much-abused pocket constitution, Untorvunately for the success of the organization the day—last Sunday—was very showery, and the rain, which fell from the heavy clouds that hung over our usually bright and cheer- ful metropolis (f), spared neither monarchist nor re- publican—damped twe enthusiasm of the latter, aud so diminished the numerical strength. Another cause also helped the saine result—viz., THE IRISH SECTION WAS ABSENT and took no part, due, probably. to the sacrilegous couduct of the Jaris Commuuists. Be it from these causes Or that moderate republicans eared the ex- treme or ultra views of these men, 1 Know uot; but certain it is that the demonstration was a failure, and the actors in it came tn for the laughter of spec- tators, who watched them travelling through the mud and water of the streets, Ten vanners hung dejectedly and clung to the poles that supported toem. Two brewers’ caps, hoisted in mid-air, were borne as the symbols of liberty, while a single band played the “Marseillaise’ til plilautaropnists Jeared the lungs of the blowers. All the clubs in St. James’ street, and elsewhere along the route, turned out their quota of gazers. The general opin- jon was that the whole advair had ended in a siasvo, and tius was the fact— THE DEMONSTRATION WAS A FAILURE. Notwithstanding this want of success, to those who will calmly consider the matter apart from ail prejudice it must be clear thatitisby no means unimportant, That, on a day wien ail the {utes proved unkind, this poiltical section could collect some 38,000 lair representatives of the working classes, And march them several miles to pass a vote of sympathy with the Paris Communists proves that itis @ power, and that republicavism has @ much irmer root here than quiet John Bull will acknow- ledge. Liverpool, Manchester, Nottingham and such centres of labor have branch establishments of tie parent soviety in London, and can each furnish A LARGE NUMBER OF ARDENT REPUBLICANS. The Hon. Auberon Herbert, M. P., was called to account by the republican portion of his constitu- ency for voting the dowry of the Princess Louise on her marriage with Lord Lorn; and, after apologiz- ing for hav! mace such a mistake, added: —When tue question of successor to her Majesty arrives the people will have the right to make what arrange- Meut they may wish with the then government,’ He regreis his speech now, but the fact remains that this republican section can and does make itself heard moe and more. 1t is growing, and may lake some time tn arriving maturity, Lt is at present best expressed as the dissatisiaction of labor with capital. Real republicans are working on the former aud gradually mouiding it. THE NEW LICENSING BILL. Mr. Bruce’s new Licensing bill has stirred up the wrath of brewers and publicaus, One tirm of the Jormer wrote to the papers to slate (uat two years since they purchi thelr business for £100,000, but that U the new bili passed tuto law the value would be reduced by half, How this depreciation 1s brought avout Is not stated, and exists probabiy in the itnagination of the writer. ‘That the publicans complain 18 natural; ior, u they do wrong, they are w be fined in certain penal ies, aad if at the end of a certain period these fines amount to a named sum they will lose their license.

New England Labor Re‘orm Lengue—Address by Horace Greeley on Protection. ‘The sessions of the New England Labor Reform League were continued yesterday afternoon and evening tn the Cooper tnsti:ate, The day and the Weather prevented @ large attendance and a late or- ganization in the afternoon. The hour was occu pied matuly by Mr. William West, who made @ politi- cal address upon “Good Government versus Bad Government,” and offered a series of resolutions consonant with his own remarks, bat whiea he did Not desire action taken upon at that time. At the evening session Mrs. Ki. DANIELLS, of Boston, spoke on the ‘Money Question” without pre senting anything new or original on tuat vener- able topic. The suffrage and political equality sne hoped to vbtain some day before the mulenntum comes, because that event cannot come w pass until women obtain those rights and privileges, It was the old, old story repeated. Mr, HORACE GREELEY followed on the subject of “Protection versus Free Trade.” Protection he de- fined te be the force or power of any community or- ganized to provide public benefits by public moneys, Free trade, on the other hand, is the assumption that whatever brings money into the individual pocket is a public good. Mr. Greeley denied this Proposition and cited grog shops and houses of prostituton as making money for their pro- prietors, but are at the same time public nuisances, His definition of protection he sustained by the example of the building of the Missiasippt ees and the Erie Canal. The State, or some other nized public force, must act in such matters, use their action i legitimate and Is the best. ireeley quoted from Adam Smith, General Jack- nd others in support of his arguments, and in ard to the free trade ery of ‘lec industry alone’? and it will find the best market for itself, He quoted from McCullough to show the contrary fact, Taking the item of cotton, Mr. Greeley showed that India and China, the great original cotton- growing countries of the world were poor, while the British power loom, spinning jenny manufac- turers have gro He also quoted from free trade writers’ 31n favor of protection, In regard to th host of increase of prices caused by high tarifs, Mr, Greetey cited Mr, 5, B, Chittenden, A. T. Stewart and other importers of woolien goods, to show that these goods had not in- creaxed more thap filteen per cent since 1860, 80 that the amount o1 duty does not seriously affect tne prices at all, He was in favor of paying of the na- tional debt atthe rate of one hundred millions a a year until the last dime is wiped out. He did not look upon @ Dational debt as a national blessing. He had had some experience of individual debts, and did not find much blessing In them, It 18 for the interest of labor to pay off this debt, but it can’t be done without high taxes, and every ume we cry out against high taxes we are crying out against the national debt. Mr, Greeley closed with @ few remarks about the cost of manufactares, espectally iron and steel, and strongly in favor of protection aud the balance of trade. Mr, ALBERT BRISANE followed with @ few re- marks on labor and money. The panacea for the lily of labor he conceived to be universal co-opera tion of labor on the basis of labor, capital and capa- city. And im regard to the money question he favored the government withdrawing all its national bank currency and Issuing bonds bearing Interest at three per cent. He could not see any good reason why the government should not lend money dir the people as well as to the banks nothing, or at a chea rate of interest. The profits paid to middle men and the consequent poverty of the producer and worker was also exhibited, and the working classes were advised to petition Congress to legisiate more in the taterest of labor. The remedy to obviate the payment of poor profits by the laboring classes 18 to corporate and become their own employers, capital- ists, bankers and landlords, The League will continue its discussion of soctal and labor topics to-day in Taamsey.
