WHO IS THE POOR MAN s FRIEND?


There has been a constant effort, on the
nart of the Wings. TO so influence and man
AGE the affairs ofthe country, as 10 make as
liitlp distinction as possible between the lIch
and the poor-to cause business OF all KINGS
IN flourish. and to elevate the condIuon oil
the laboring classes, BY keeping their wa
ces up to such point as TO make them com
Portable and enable them TO lay up some
tbinr for a wet day. Hence It was, that
some whig editor took his stand for two dol
lars a dav and roast beef This, II IS admit
ted was a little above wha. we expected I'M
nediatelv % effect. But we would have
been more successful in keeping up wages,
had IL not been that we were c0unteracted
bv certain lokie leaders, in high places, who
insisted that twelve and half cents daV
was enough for laboring man. We could
pubIish many extracts to prove this. but the
following from Senator Tappan, will suffice
for the present:


.The price of labor is entirely too high
The laborer in this country can afford TO
work for eleven pence day, and the hard
money system will bring down wages 10
teat sum. Wheat will also come down to
I
N nroportion. This is the best tariff you
can have. and the only one that can enable
The manufacturer TO compete with England
The Sub-Treasnry will effect both these OBJ
iects-it will put down the banks, and bring
wages and every thing else down. Sen
TAPPAN.


We will add another extract.


There never can be prosperous times IN
this country, until a poor man. as IN Eng
] land. is obliged to work for sleeps head
and a pluck day, and lie under a cart e
night t'-Senator Nsscbury. lotie.
! A levy day for work. and lie under
carl a, night Such is federal loco foco re
gard for the poor. And this senator Tap
pan and his step son, and this senator New
bury. are constantly twitting the wings w'tt
their inability to raise the wages OF The me
chanic and the iaborer.--StcnbsHrstts Ga
