'Help One Another/
Twenty jears have passed since the
writer hereof chose New-York City for his
home, and over ten since The Tribune was
started. Luring the preceding ten years
hi caaiot now recall a single successful or
persistent effort of the Laboring Classes to
practically help themselves. Associations
for the relief of the destitute, Savings
Hanks instituted and managed by eapital
ists for taking care ef ihe surplus earnings
of the poor, pawnbroker establishments for
lending them money at ruinous rates on the
pledge of property, were as abundant then
aj new ; strikes and combinations by hired
workmen to raise or sustain rates of wages
were as common and as fruitless (in the
average) as before or since ; but combina?
tions of bona fide laborers with their hau Is
to manage Bl d loan their own money, 8itt>
pl] the11 ewe neede, employ their own la?
bor, provide themselves with homes, ovo.
were aheoluteh unknown.
The ease is bravely altered since then,
as our advevtisii g and ether columns attest,
I/ind-bii\ ing Societies of workingmen, pro?
viding themselves with village lots at farm
prices; Uuihiu g Ass- ciatmns; Mutual
Loan Associations ? these are already
abundant, to a degree unequaled in any
other American city ; while the germs of a
Protective Union, a Shirt Sewers' Union,
and teveral associations of Mechanic a or
Artiaaas tu employ, oversee and pav them?
selves, ure alrtsuly visible, and foreshadow
a vigorous maturity. We believe things
have simply to move on, noiselessly and
steadily, in their present channel, to iusure
that the great majority of our Citv'a Me?
chanics and Artisans ?hall be their own
employers and directors in the course of
twenty \ ears, and their own landlords with?
in thirty or forty.
Of course, we do not mean that this will
take place without discussion, but because
t t it. In order that the many may be in?
duced to advance so far. it is needful that
the few shall proceed still further. The
clamor against 'Socia'ism,''Communism,'
A.c. will be kept up, in order that a few
rnb geeee may be frightened into giving
! . \ to uphold knavish aad shabby jour.
ft t i lactieal Socialism-the union of
N divi? ual eiiorts to secure contnion benefits
?willhi iBBtimmMt diffused and increased,
i : i isii]atea* or hireling labor shall be the
t xi I} 'ion. not, as now, the rule.
? I'tiai m" the associations now formed or
ft ;i ii g among la^reis for their mutual ad
\ it ? >ge at 1 .benefit are judicious atid well
msnsged, we do not assume. A body of
men may ?ct fooiauMf as wadi as one ram ; ]
though they are less likely to do s>. Kaa*es
may get up companies of poor men as well
as of rich one.*, ostensibly to benefit the
members but leally to feather their own
nests. And especially must it be understood
that wot king men's associations nny be
ruined, either by a jealous, captious, fac?
tious spirit ol cabaling and pugnacity oa
the part of the members, or by a loose and
easy confidence in one or two rnnnagiag
officers which leaves them free to do as they
please without eher It or criticism. Each
member must4 act well his part' in a mutual
benefit association as everywhere else.
That there will be some mistakes made,
some rottenness exposed, in the movements
of these associations, as every where else
we assume as almost inevitible. In such
cases members will lose their money ; of
tener through their own fault: somotiinf
through the fault of others. But though
hard-earned savings will thus (we hope
veryj rarely) be lost, the habit of savin*
cannot be?and this is by far the better part
of the acquisition. Of two young men of i
whom one shall spend his earnings as fast
as they reach him, while the other, having
saved a thousand dollars in five years, sees
it ail swept from him by a fire, a flood, a
bankruptcy, or a game of swindling, it is
quite common to say that the latter is now J
as j oor as the farmer : yet nothing could
he more mists ken. The faculty, trie habits?
the iiaitinrt, of saving still remains ; and
this is worth infinitely more than the thou
s.'uid dollars would be without it. And thus
we estimate the intrinsic and imperishable
results of the self-helping t (Torts of our tkne
far above their outward, material products.
Time was when the journeymen mechanics
of our city, ninety-nine in every hundred of
I them, spent all they earned, whether more
\ or less, marrying, growing old and dying
with frt?m nothing to a month's wages be?
twixt each of them and the Alms-House.
All this is now undergoing a gradual and sal?
utary transformation. Many still squander,
but thousands save ; and this latter class
is destined to increase even without the
Maine Law, and still faster whenever the
a^gisof that glorious statute shall be inter?
posed between them and tbe maddening
cup. With that law in force, the number,
of our mechanics who own lots, and ulti?
mately houses, will be doubled every three
years.
And this is the 1 Radicalism,' 1 Agrarian
ism,' and ' Communism' to which The Tri?
bune is devoted ? namely, that of inciting
the Laboring Classes to become their own
employers, overseers, paymasters and land?
lords. In pursuit of this end, we neither
teach diem to hate, to envy nor to war on
the Rich ; and we have no faith in nor sym?
pathy with that negative, destructive Radi?
calism which impels the Poor to regard
Hanks and other instrumentalities of Asso?
ciated Capital as their oppressors. What
we understand these to teach the Poor i?
tbe potency of Cooperation and the certain?
ty that they too may enjoy its advantages
if they only will. That the lessons we
havo labored to inculcate have not been
wholly fruitless, the present healthful and
vigorous condition of cooperative efforts in
our City bears witness.
Aecioaatta nt sea.
The thrill of horror at the appalling
disaster of the Amazon has scarcely yet ceased, I
It was another terrible justification of that
vague apprehension which haunts the minds of
all men going to sea?the fear of fire: and
another appeal, how sadly emphasized, to strive
more ami more to provide against the chances j
ol such casua lties. It only our care for safety
were as great as our anxiety for speed ' We
Americans laugh very loftily at the ?* slowness*' 1
and the "old fogyism" of England. But
while we laugh, we blow up and burn up and
are tun into and run over and there is a gust ol
surprise and a sprinkliu? ot capitals in the news?
papers,?and nothing more. But England is
jealous of the lives of Englishmen. If. as last
spring, there is a Railway collision in a tunnel
and some half dozen lives are lost, the morning
press of London thunders it to every corner of
the Empire, not in the way of news, as an
?' alarming collision " only, but editorially, as a
culi ability demanding the austerest condem?
nation, and it pricks the sensitive public con
n ience until an inquiry is instituted and a ray
ol light is let in upon every corner ol the affair,
as is uow the case in the inquiry concerning the
Amazon.
The Amazon, indeed, was an English steamer,
and such remarks seem hardly apposite in a case
ot English accidti.t. Bui the subject mint?
upon the fact ol the national difference in tlus
regard, and the general English care of life,?so
so lar as public consequences are concerned?is
one of the good th.ii.ga which we may wisely j
copy.
Cur attention has been >ust now attracted to
this matter by a letter of R. B. Forbes, Esq. a !
well known merchant of Boston, addressed to j
the Editor of The Daily Advertiser of that city.
Mr. Forbes knows the sea well and ita dangers- j
He has made voyages to Ckiaa and to England.
He was a witness of the disastrous collision of
the Europa with the Charles Bartlett. and is
altogether competent to speak to this pom*. Mr.
For!>ea saya:

He proceeds to aay rhat the ordinary routine of
a ateamcr may be neglected, that it. watches
might be called a little late or early, Ac , with?
out nevetsary danger. But a strict Organization,
to provide against sudden alarm, is imperatively

who does not hesitate to apeak out. They are
melancholy detail?, sad to soe, like the appara.
tu? of the Humane SociPty. They recall, with
poignant emphasis, the horrors they are de
?tjnatd to avoid and alleviate,?the dismay an !
deepair of inexorable accident*?the doubtfu'
late which overhanes all men when they confide
themselves to the sea. Among those men wi
may all of ui?we ?hall, some of ut?be. Ia it
not worth while, then, while we ah'idder orer
the recital of these tragedies, to do someihjni?,
whether by practical suggestion, or petition, or
constant discussion, to dimmish this waste of

?Mr. Charles L. Brace is preparing
for publication the narrative of his travels and ad?
ventures in Hungary in the year 1*51, with his ob?
servations upon the political organization and state
of the country. Of course, the substance of the many
interesting contributions made by Mr. Brace to the
columns of Th* Tribi nt during this period will be in?
cluded in this work.
? Mr Jciirs Fk?bel has withdrawn
from the editorship of the New-York AlLrtmtint
Ztitung, in order to devote himself to the prepara?
tion of a new work on Sect**1 rohtv.s, for which he
has made a contract with a publisher in Germany
W e presume it will be in some sort the extension
and revision of a former work oa the sane subject,
which tome years s.nce attrrrted great attention in
Germany, and which ?e remember to have read,
with interest ard instruction. No doubt a residence
of two or three years in America, vtith the opportu?
nity of varied political and ethnographic stJdies
I both in the I'nited States and the Spanish Repib
' lies, trust have added largely to Mr. Fr >bel's stock
j materials, and perhaps modified hit judgment in
! many particulars. He could not hope to render
a DM re sottd ?ervien to his coua'.rvmr n ia Germany
j than by means of this work. It is announced th it
i he will Hill remain as a contributor to the journal
from a l share in who?e eduonal control he now re
I tue?.
? We understand that Mr. Henry C.
. Carey contemplates the preparation of a popular
Manual of Political Economy for use in Schools and
Colleges. We have long cherished an impatient
desire for such a work, and know of no Deal so well
riiHlifird to write it as Mr. Cabet. The books now
generally in use, especially in our Northern institu?
tion's of learning, are utterly unfit for the purpjse,
! being, like that of President vVayland, based on the
I theory of an essential hostility in the interests of the
differeat classes of society, and teaching what is
: cailed free trade as the sum cf practical wisdom
The pernicious effect of such works, so employed,
ut on the young mmds of the country, is very great,
and we are persuaded that a clear, popular text?
book, setting forth the truth on the subject, will do
more to counteract this influence than can be a
01 ii piished In any other way. It is remarkable
that v?hRe Mr. carey'S previous and more elv
borate works are used as manuals of instruc on
in tome Southern and L'uropeta Colleges, at the
I niversity of I psa) . in Sweden, for example,
they have not been introduced In any I'niversity of
New-England, where one would expjet them to be
most employed. Mr. CasSY'i Frinuplet of VoW
t.cal Economy, is about to appear at Turin, in Italian'
at< the I. th volume of the Btblwtheca dull' B-onomuti.
The Editor's introduction we have already seen it
settles the question between m. Dam ia r an J Mr.
t mi i v, in f.ivor of the latter.
? Mr. K. H. Sioddard is about to pub.
lish a volume of Fairy Stories, for the special benefit
of the little folks. Mr. Stoddard's exquisite poetic
imagination will be at home in this new sphere, and
will, we doubt not, make him a "prime favorite with
ibe youthful puolic. as he already is with the ma
tuier lovera of poetic genius. The book is to be il?
lustrated.
? Miss Alicb Cariy has in press a aew
rolame i.f ballads and other paeins, written during
the last two years.
? Miss Caroline CmbskBRO will shortly
present the public with a new novel, of wdich we
hear the best possible report from those w ho have
bets favoied w ith a tight ofthe proof sheets.
Thk Vandeiibilt Steamer Daniel

in our advertising columns, along ttitement pur?
porting to be signed by a large number of passen?
gers who lately went to San Juan, Nicaragua, on
board the steamer Daniel Webster, on their way to
California, who accuse her officers, and indeed the

and swindling maltreatment toward their passen?

inserted without the knowledge of the conductors
of tins journal. Had we seen it beforehand, it would
not have appeared. Wc are satisfied that its state
