In it he speaks of the table habits or the Paris barba? rians. "We have dined," he says, "at their tables, where the stomach is expected to re? ceive with pleasure some thirty different ob jeots of food, and perhaps ten different liquids. Tho. .trench, aud o ?her foreigners eat until they feel very uncomfortable, and require much medicine drags, as may be seen by the many chemists* shops of this city. They have the same oapacity as our pigs. Had you been here the other night, you would have observed how these people rudely scrambled for the food at tho supper-table when we gave oar fete-! They put their bands violently on the dishes and disputed with each other most roughly." In telling about Burlingame's ball he writes : "Oh ! if you had seen the women at our ball 1 They came half undressed; that is to say, the upper part of the body was wholly exposed, but they are jealous of showing their feet aud seem to desire to hide the floor also, as each woman drags about with her a long robe, on which it ia not etiquette to place your shoe. Their eyes aretpainted round (not all of them) and they use coloring for the lips and a pearl powder for various exposed sections of the frame. They purchase the hair of the dead, and artiste work it into various designs; then the women pat it on their heads with flowers; and yet they are not a dirty people. The high easte women are allowed every lioense. At oar fete they were clasped round the waist by men they knew not, and dane sd with painful vigor, fox it was hot." CHARLESTON. THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 13, 1869. Free Trade and the Workingmen. ? Professor Perry delivered a lecture hst week to the workingmen of New York, on the subject of free trade and specie pay? ments, which might bo repeated with ad? vantage in every olly in the United States Ia the movement now begun, it is import an t to Jure the co-operation of the artisans and laboring men. They are powerful by their numbers and by the wealth of produc? tive force which they represent. Their support i-s Bought by every political party, and it is to their interest to consider quietly but carefully the relations of free trade and wages. They should judge for themselves whether it is wise for .them to give any po? litical support, whatever to a party whose polioy is to swamp the country with irre? deemable paper-to enrich the few and make the many poor, by claBB legislation and prohibitive tariffs. And at the very outset it must be boroo in mind that the number of donara earned weekly in a depreciated currency is no true test of the profit of labor. The question is, not how*atony, dollar? do you receive, but what will your wages bring ? Will they bring mrxah or little of the necessaries and decencies of life ? Without, perhaps, seeing too dearly the reason, the workingmen have shown that their relations to their employers are un? satisfactory. During the last four years strikes have been more frequent than ever before. Those, with the trades unions and the meetings constantly held for the pur? pose of obtaining higher wages, prove that a spirit of discontent exists. The laborers feel that they are not dealt with fairly, and take the handiest means to ''better their condition. But they should themselves study tho whole subject, They should make the comparison between the rate of wages and the carrent price of commodities; a comparison which has been made lately on a grand scale by Mr. Wells, theopeoialCom? missioner of the Re venae, whose reasoning and whose figures the protectionist organs have vainly tried to upset. Mr. Wells, after a most painstaking examination, carno to tho conclusion that while the general rate of wage? of unskilled labor had only risen fifty per ?jeni, the rise in the j>rice of the commodities which laborers require to make themselves and fauiiliea comfortable had been at least ?eventy-eight por cent, is tho last seven years, lu regard to skilled labor, his conclu Rion was that the rise in the wages of monkani os and artisans amounted to sixty per cent, while the ad? vance in the price of the necessaries of life was, as before, seventy-eight per cent, show? ing a difference of eighteen canis in the dollar against tho workingman. Here ii the plain fact that the wages of the workingman do not buy him now as many comforts and n?o?8sariea os they did in 1861 and 1862. Whore the unskilled laborer received one hundred dollars ho now re-J serves one hundred and fifty; but the necessa? ries which he could have bought for one hundred dollars now cost at least one hundred md seventy eight. Where the skilled work? man received one hundred dollars he now receives one hundred and sixty; but what he could have bought for one hundred dollars now costs one hundred and seventy-eight. It is very evident, then, that the mau who work? for wages will never obtain bia dues, or know what he is getting, until the cur? rency of the country is hard cash. Every merchant er storekeeper using a paper cur? rency knows that it may drop down ten or twenty cents, on the dollar in one day. The paper dollar has no intrinsio value. What s seventy-five oents to-day may be but fifty ?ents to-morrow, and this uncertainty nakes necessary a heavy addition to the lolling price of all the goods the poor man .equires. The merchant does not consume he goods. All that rests with him is to nake himself safe, and he does it-at the ixpense of the purchaser. The laboring nan pays the prioe. Food, shelter and ilothiog he must hove. There is no wait ag for lower pri?es, no escape for him. No >rofit can be added ou by him for some one ilse to pay. Every cent is taken from his >wn hard earnings. The laboring man jays the piper. This is why the working liasses should join in the cry for hard noney. Silver is silver and gold is gold. There is no risk in dealing with specie, and the merchant has no excuse for taeking on twenty or thirty per cent, to the fair sell- ? ing prioe. i Free trade, also, will benefit the working nan in every conceivable way. It will give them cheap houses, cheap olothing, cheap ihoes, oheap tools and implements, cheap joffee, tea and salt. Fortunes may not se made os quiekly as of old in New Eng- i And oad Penn?ylvania; but the working non will prosper, and by his prosperity he wholo country will thrive, the oggre gate of employed capital will be increased, and the condition of every claas will rap? idly improve. The pass-words of the me? chanic, the artisan and the laborer should be "Free Trade and Specie Payments," and the cry will be taken up and re-echoed by every class eave those who have built up fabulous wealth by excluding competition, and by the politicians who tax a whole peo? ple for the advantage of a bondholding aristocracy. FOBNBI, in speaking of his Southern trip, pays the following compliment to the railroad men of the couth : "Twenty years ago this jaunt could not have been made, even if we had travelled at the rate of forty miles a day, in less than two months, and even then, no matter what the facilities of transportation, whether on horseback or in coaches, we could not have gathered as much information or seen as many people, or inspected as many points aa we have done by the modern mo es of travel. The chief fact impressed upon all our minds is that tho South is in rapid course of. business reconstruction. The railroad com? munications are being improved and increased with almost superhuman energy. Indeed, there is danger that the heavy appropriations of several of the Stales may burden the people with obligations that will require extraordinary resources and incomes to pay the accruing interest. The railroad men are the very best architects of Southern restoration. Cosmopol? itan in their habits, and comprehensive in their schemes, they appreciate and act upon the necessities of the hour. Politicians only talk and theorize. Railroad men combine un? common traits, and if the Southern people would confide their destinies to them, you would soon hear nothing said against Yankees, carpet-baggers, and scalawags. They know that the hundreds of millions of dollars in ves t el in these great improvements can cover be made remunerative either to the States who lend their credit, or to the people who buy I thou* bonds, unless emigration, capital, enter . priae, and ski lied labor, both of farm and work? shop, are invited to those vast rich, neglected and uncultivated expanses."
