WAR OFPROPITMONGERS _AGAINW , LIFE AND PROPERTY , It is the fashion ' of certain journals , in thi 8 and in other countries , to treat the labourinj _maBsesas if they were ; thp great enemies of _hfeandproperty . To- protect society agaml _theirpossible insurrection , an _immenseriprel sive force is maintained at a . cost which _eatu into the very vitalsof every so-called civilised community . . Modern , society seems as if it werein . astate . pf ae _% e ,- and bristles at all points with civil , legal , and maitary defenders of " Peace , _^ fcaw , and Order . "
_; : The originators , of . the . calumnies whicbi frighten old women , in . and , out of pettico & ta into _sdcha state of terror , that they could not go to bed at night-without expecting , as the Irishman said , ; to waken next morning and find their throats cut , unless they were thus guarded , talce Very good care never tos 3 y a : syllable when life and property is really endangered : by the capitalists for their own selfish purposes . So ' thatthe murder can be colourably termed an accident , or one of the casualties of trade , it is all right . ' Any inquiry that may be made , is decorously hushed up by a convenient coroner ' s iurv . nnd th *
verdict " Accidental Death . " ia an answer to all future cavil or . queries . t It is now known , that by means of certain simple and cheap , and ; easily applied _inven . tions , the working of coal and other mines may be made as safe , quite as healthy , and nearly as pleasant—except for the deprivation of daylight—as labour on the surface of the earth . With such facts known , every death that takes place in any mine from the non « appliance of these invention , must be coiiai * dered a case of wilful murder against the
owners , whose avarice or neglect has permitted their workmen to remain surrounded with the death dealing agencies , which annually send hundreds of the miners to their graves , and leave large families to deplore the instant and untimely deaths of their only protectors . _' But our Government , which so loudly pro * claims that the great and paramount duty of the state is to protect life and property , does not think it is bound to interfere in such cases ; or , if some case of more than usual atrocity and appalling magnitude occurs , the most that
is done is to send down some theoretically learned professor , who makes a very learned abstruse report to the Secretary of the Home Department ; who places the said report in one of the many pigeon holes to be found in that department , and then the matter ends , until the . next explosion of fire damp hurries 100 oi 120 miners into ' eternity , arid leaves three times that number of widows , mothers , son » and daughters , brothers and sisters , rending the air with shrieks for the loss of their rela
tives . . The Government and Legislature are great protectors of life and property " but it is tho lives and property of the wealthy over which they are so watchful—not ofthe poor * An illustration of the impunity with which , in the pursuit of a higher dividend—a larger per centage on ' capitar invested—the owners of money may risk the . destruction of life and" property ,, occurred the other day ia Scotland .

Everybody knows that , by various means-i not the least potent of which was the disgraceful and unprincipled gambling , and utter want of _^ common honesty , which prevailed among the commercial classes a few years since—¦ railways have , turned , out a most unprofitable speculation to those who , _oeing caught in the rush , hare had to keep their scrip , and pay their . calls thereon . . A- few Mammoth speculators , like , George Hudson—we will not use the harsher , but truer term—may have realised hundreds of thousands by * ' cooking accounts , "
and by timely , bargains , made and paid for by other people's money ; but the great ma « jority of the ' "" small fry" have had to pay sbmewhat ' smartly for meddling with railways . It is ottly within the last year or two , however , thattheyhavefoundout / ahdreallyfeltthelosse * of their true position . Previous to that time , they were paid very large dividends on what , in many instances , was a fictitious capital ; and , putting one thing with another , tha bona _fideinvesters in railways _; cannot , as yet , have been of a very ruinous character . At
the best time , they took care not to over-pay the hard-working operatives , upon -whose steadiness , skill , punctuality , and trustworthiness , the success of those great undertaking mainly depended . Everyonemustperceive that a ; succession of accidents , such as could easily have occurred upon any line , without any one being chargeable with any grave or legallypunishable offence , would have . deterred the public from using the new mode of locomotion . The effect of every accident , in the early , stages of the system , was of that
kind , and the natural prejudice against entrusting life and limb to the powerful—and , perhaps , uncontrollable . elements— brought together on : a Railway , in some instances rose into a : species of panic . It was only by the exercise of the qualities we have adverted to , on the part of guards , ~ enginedrivers , pointsmen , _breaksmenj . porters and subordinate officers of all kinds , that the thousand / and one delicate and complicated arrangements , necessary to the safe working of the system , was carried out . Of course we do not exclude from the enumeration the
intelligent , able , and active superintendents in different departments , who devised the system , and saw it carried into practice ; but ,- what- ¦ ever credit " may _. be due to them , it . is in their : position as co ' -workera to a great . end , not in i _jhe character of mere , sharers in dividends , or f because they contributed so many poundi I sterling , that they are entitled to public esteem _x and gratitude ... _i . As the shareholders took the lion ' s share to » themselves when times were good , they ought t to have left the working staff untouched when u the tide changed , at least for a while , until the ft 3
ultimateprospect of Railways , as investments , , could be more distinctly conjectured than they > y can , bo at present . - But avarice and selfish" i « _nesB _^ are rather strong passions , in their way . f . They cannot afford to . wait , ' and put on a show _w of decent conventionalism , ; when they run the ae risk , of . losing five per , cent .
