The Workiiigmen party that' met
not long-ago in convention ! a Uar-
rbutg.:ejajf;aq iominaie4
candidate for i State " officers and
' adopted va platform that contains
planks that willjiprqv vefyT0tteb. i6f
their interests if they: doiiot look DatC
Amoug thesi planks re' those ' that
call for the "enactmeut of wholesome
and pernianeut tariff !aw8,w by which,
we suppose, tbey demand a high pro-
leciive tariu, pne mucn .nigaer tnaa
the present' oae ;'for the abolition
- of conspiracy:lawsn; for "grataitous
education in j all educational institu
tions;" for the erection of courts of ar-
7- bitration for settling all disputes that
may arise between labor and capital;
for an unconditional repeal of the Re--sumption
act) the abolition of the Na
tional banks and (the issue of a cur
rency by the government based upon
the wealth of the whole nation."; It
will be seen that they demand a great
deal much that f would prove in
j urioua t6 them and to the .country.
We suppose they mean to place ' the
burden of education exclusivety upon
the ricbt' for some class would - have
to support ahe educational institu
lions, or they i would stop operations,
being unable 4o run without money,
and they are' not to be allowed to
. charge any tuition. -But we do not
propose to discuss the planks of" this
anomalous platform, r ; .' . , ' . ,
We copy the following concerning
the financial plank from a high au
thority, the V Financial 1 Chronicle
, of New York. That paper says: '
"Now it is especially lamentable and dis
couragiDg, allhongh s not unaccountable or
unexpected, to see workmen thus embracing
their worst enemy. It is the .usual testi
mony of experience, as well as the doctrine
of economists founded oo the nature of
things, that an irredeemable currency robs
and defrauds those who' work lor day's
wages worse than any other class. '.The
fluctuations in prices and the special risks
which it always causes can be guarded
against and compensated for, to some de
gree, by capital, . bat they fall with foil
force upon labor,' which mast ' pay the
prices of to-day and . help, insure capital
. against loss. . Such a currency is a bad. tool,
as a cast-iron hammer and a soft-iron
chisel would be; and just as it is, true that
the poor, buying in small quantities with
the disadTanUges of bargaining . against
them, always pay for what they consume
higher pricetftban'tbe well-to-do, it is also
true that the greenback Jiowe ver it may be
dabbed with flattering epithets, has not toe
onguiesk uuq 10 oe cauea ne woraingman
dollar. It is a, bad, tool which does q
good work, for anybody, and the poor man
jIwaysjnade to.take hold of it by the
blade.
. .. ..- i.'i W
.! .. . , ft "And not onlv is an irre
deemable Currency the worst foe. of. labor,
but any successful attempt at renewed in
flation would be the worttt event, short of
ucneral . anarchy' whlchr could happen as
regards labor; - W.e say ."successful"; at-f
tempt deliberately,: meaning that a renewal'
of tbe active, fluab,? 'good.? or wbatso
.ever sort ot times the term : trmft l8C3 to
1870 be called, would end Just as Uiat 'end'
ed, in the downfall of every activity and
tbe suffering of r every class; especially, of
course, the class who must live by their im
mediate earnings. , No' such renewal can;
however he reached t effect it t is out of
. human poweri.-it:;c; K:J.te.x-ism:-"We
cannot put matters back; where
they Were in 1870; as well hope- to restore
them as they were in 18S0. i To art tbe

cheap that it could be had for the asking,

! A few days since a Vounjr man from an'

pose of taking a situation, which, however,'
lie found, upon arriving at that place had
dready been filled.. Not finding anything
o" do there, he decided to go to Charlotte,
ut meeting with no better success in; the
'future Londoq, he made' up his mind to
try his luck in Wilmington. 'Unfortunate
ly,, upon examining his 'exchequer he dis
covered that his fuads were well-nigh ex
hausted; and, being among strangers, he
uld not raise the wherewithal to pay . his
way to our "city by the sea." As the train
was preparing to leave in ' 5 Wednesday
morning the almost penniless and ' friend-
less young tnaa
stood upon - tbe. platform
bewailing hia unfortunate lot, when ar igen;L

thai he jump into a box car and
cloae : the t door, which' ' he did, and
ihortly afterwaids the- conductor passed
ihaK) l(y and . locked it. . Tbe - young man.
femahed J)his .close quarters in. the, box
ear until the train arrived at a station seven
teen miles from this city, when, overcome

ent, he beat, upon the door and clamored
