NEW ORLEAN, JULYT 30, 1877. The Only Authorized Oollelting Agents oe the Democrat for time ilty are Messrs U. H. BAKER and P. O. DEVEZIN. Persons leavin the city for the sum maer can have the Daily Democrat mailed to their address for one dollar per month. _ Our subscribers will confer a favor upon us by reporting at this office every failure in the de livery to their address of the DEMOCRAT, as we are particularly desirous of achieving absolute exactitude and punctuality. NOTICE. As there are at present numbers of persons of the poorer classes out of employment, and who have not the means to advertise their wants, the DIoonRAT will here fter publish such "Want" notices free of charge, when they do not exceed in length three lines. This will include adver tisements of those desiring the services of ser vants or of any class of employee, and will also Include advertisements of houses to rent, where the monthly rent does not exceed $25. In adopt Ing this plan, the managers of the DEMOCRAT feel that they will greatly benefit those not financial ly able to make their wants known, and will be serving the poor of the city who are out of em ployment or in quest bf homes. MORE REBELLION. And now it is from that, mysterious antd renmote corner of our vastly expanded terri tory, Sitka. that come the last accounts of war, trouble and rebellion. This is the so (ailed capital of that unhappy legacy io qunathel to our nation by the Seward ad ministration of our foreign affairs. The Alaska lurchast ' ..was one of the grand tri umphsll of the Sowardist diplomnacy. To flatter and conciliate Russia, and induce her to throw the weight of her authority and name against the South In our great rivil war, and, at the same time, to promote a job of a ring in Washington, our government consented to take this valueless incumbramle off the hands of Russia, and give her seven millions of dollars in gold therefor. Seward antd Bob Walker wrote the most glowing ac counts of the value and richness of this coun try, of its great fisheries, its forests of tint ber, its mines of coal, and its inexhaustible fur treasures. Russia woull only transfer it to the United States out of her abundant af fection and admiration for our great re public and our Institutions. She was not in the habit of selling any por tIon of her dominions, or of ever letting any of her territory go to any other power. And so hu:rah ! A Republican administration is enabled to plaoc itself almost on a level with the I)emocratie administrations which acquiredl Louisiann, Florida, Texas., (alifornia and New Mexico. This is the only territormal acquisltion which New England would over acqulesce in. - the only annexation she ever approved. So the bargain was struck, and the United States sent her soldiers and officers to take possession of the country and extend over it the freedom and protection of our re public. There was an awful awakening fromn the delusion with which the jobbers of the Russian ring had managed to possess the government and the people. Our soldiers and officials discovered that Russia's great kind ness in disposing of this remote colony was an elephanatine gift, not worth the taking or keeping, an arrant fraud and clheant, the profits of which tnurod to a set of unscrupulous Washingtonian jotbbers. But it would never do to admit the extent of our simplicity and gullability, and to accuse Republican patriots and our good friend. His Imlperial Majesty of all the Russias, and so our governoment was compelled to keep this precious acquisition, and preserve at least sote, favor or symbol of our title by maintaining a few officials therein. Then, too, there was a jobl in the seal fisheries, which could be( given out to some Radical ring and favorites. Even, however, these ventures have proved of late years very unremwlerative, and some months ago it was brought home to our statesmen at. Washington that Alaska was not worth the keeping; that neither soldiers nor officials could live there, and that in the application of the new rule of home government it woull He' better to surrender itto its original and right ful possessors, the seals, white bears and In dians. So, as we were given to understand, the country was ordered to lie evacuated by the trootps, and leaving behind a sick collector and a few oflicials we virtually abandoned the wretched country. Seeing which, the Indians have gonte in alld re-established t henlselves in possession and power at Sitka, and lprotected by the remotenews. the wodthlhhssness andl in naccessibility of the place, have naturally, like all such barharians aud sonme highly civilized people, put on grand airs of rteneqtue'ring . their own territory, andt hurl some(, insolnt ll taunts at the few whitte men who linger in the desolate, God forsaken ctountry. I),ouht less some eontractors anti jol1ters will try to persuade our Executive that national pridett. the assertion of the majesty and the power of the Republic. demand the fitting out (of sn tml costly expedition against these nlw rebels. We dissent from any such proposition, andi trust that our government will adopt the wise lpolicy of Dogberry in his charge to the watch. If these vagabonds will not stop g and surrender, then let them go, and thank t the Lortd "ye are rid of such precious I knavea'' THE LABOR PROBLEM. 1'hc lihotr prof 'ill has born geVvn an a FumL tioni Ite.,relt, , lthre rxc'lnt riots, lutlt Icyond llihl thesel dui.imstra|.tiolns l\.ve prl'oven but oane thing, a.|% that I tlhalt th, lIu(estioll de' nlnn(1i4 asshate( ,ion with an urgency that Was not expow'lttl.

So long as the pay of the workingnmn con tinues to be fixed aceording to a certain standard, that standard will continue to be the lowest at which an equilibrium can be es tablished betwee(n his necesslties and the gainful dsir'es of tihe capitalist who employs him. But. change his relation from that of enmpllloye o that of partner, no nmatti,r by how small an alteration, anti see what a c('hange,. lie' oltains a certain proprieltary in terest in the aggregate fund tof produced wealth, and has to Ihe accounted to for his in terest before the qluestion arises)' of how much of what has I(,eelin produced this year shall he dledicate to lrodlucton next year. iHe no longer draws his living from the "wages fund," that aggregate product of labor which is called "wages-paying," anti becomes a partil.ipant in the division of that indlllnite remainder from which the accre tions to capital must chielly be (lerivedl. He becomnes a positive instead of a relative factor. This "labor fund" of the economist is ibased on stern and isl'nexorable facts, andtl it is impos Ile to discard or overlook it in any discussion of this difficult plroblem. The question, then, is how shall labor be lifted from the operation of the law it imposes and placed in a relation ship to the whole fund of produced wealth ? "Wages," says Locke, "not only depend upon the relative amount of capital and pop ulation, but they cannot, under the rule of competition, be affectled by anything else. Wages (meaning, of course, the gieneral rule) cannot rise but by an increase of the aggre gate funds enployedl in hiring laborers, or a diminution In the number of competitors for hire." We have indicated how the numbler of these tunlpetikitrs may be diminished by the estah lishment of partnership relations with the whole indefinite fund of produced wealth. We come now bt the consideration of the only remaining proposition, the increase of the wages fund, and this whole question may be presente i lnthe query, "How can constraint bte brought upon those who hold possession of wealth to cInimpel them to, add more of it year by year to the capital fund that goes to the paying of wages, instead of consuming it ?" This lquestion is one that scarcely admits of discussion. The econo mists say this fund cannot be increased rela tively, and they are right so long as the present wages system maintains. In any event, the question must be referred to the moral aspect of the problem. But it is he're that public oplinion, upon which we mainly rely for a solution of this pro blem, can act most ,potently. If ,one will sit lowll and make the calculation, which, how ever, can be reducl d only to rough estimates, he' will discover that the augmented pro ducti'veness of labo'r, since mechanical inven tion eI.1ame active, actually outruns thi' desires of that minority in society which has so far lmo liopnpolizedl 111most of the benelit from it ; and that there is a sickening, wastefulness of coitllsllllmtiion without object going on, which is certainly susceptible of being restrained by thel influences that are devel oped in the progress of human culture. At least, it is not opposi5l to human nature to contemplate those influences as available forces in social ecl1onolmy. We believe they can be used to relatively increase the aggre gate fund of wealth appropriated to pr(odnc tiv"' labor; but this is a great question of morals that requires a return to republican simplicity, to hlabits of temperance, industry and economy in order to elar fruit, that must he refer'r.rI to the peoplo themIIelv'es for solu tion.
