We have net wed to expose the absordity of tbe preposi-
tive' coateaded fur in this partloaler alike, brume our
chief objection lies not to the mere proximate result of there
ceMbinettens, bat to the general pried*. It le obvious
that to give to. boors' wages He nine boars' week would be
to drive the employer into the Gamete, sad destroy thevery
labour fund out of which alone the employed meld draw his
wager. To appropriate tbe pollee otf resehleary leftism to
society, the inventor, nor the owner, bat as • retiring vendee
to the redundant artumn—to deemed a virtual rise ef wages
not became the demand he labourers exceeds the supply, but
for the very reason that the sanely is fee in exam of the de-
mand—to convert all mestere into mere relieving officers, mid
wages into lacer ram for pauper workmen. to commieserate
the &Weems of the workmen mused by "a hungry crating
on the part of • few," but coolly to propose that the whole
cost of relleviag them eh old be defrayed by the employers.—
lo raise wages, not by increasing the demean for workmen, but
by • purely *Mad dirninutios of the supply of labour—these
are propositions which only prove that men may be knowing
without being wise, and that knowledge may be cheep
without its purehmers lemming anything. "Systematic I
overUme," which is said to throw workmen out of employ-
ment, Is the very weans of averting a redundant supply. If
the operative builders laboured only two and • half hours
per day, it would require four times their present number to
do their work, and drew so many into the trade that, wben-
ever slackness occurred the number of the unemployed would
be immeasurably iecreesed. As to the able hours' movement,
it is a mere device for compelling other trades to toil more
that the builders may Labour lea—for raising the real of the
poor man's cottage, and reducing hit wages by tumbling the
bricklayer to elotrect from the common labour fund more
than his there. The wealth of Boglend is the results of her
impeder powers of prodwHice. It is bemuse the cost of
labour, In eorapee to the quantity and quality of the
work done, le Ives in this then in any other country, that
ours is the richest community in the world. The moment '1
we cease to predate cheaply, and thereby suffer our corn-
Whore to nedstwu us in neutral markets, our capital will
dontnish sad wages will fell. To exact more wages, there-
fat Ire wart is the surest way of losing both work and 1
wages
Then am truths tee teite that they ought never to require
imposition—so little known or understood that they need to
be repeated always. It Is la your power to enforce theca by
returning to your work—by emancipating year labour from
the control of the contereace. If your wives sod children
suffer, la your owe bands is their relief. If you fear the
commence more than you love your bundy, you deserve your
fate. If you love your household more man you demo the
tredee wiles, you will rise above It. We speak as unto
elm men; judp ye what we say.'

which were Itevenlei he me immediately after itilLt6ZdrOZ
by the House et Names of year deviation bill, I pro-
ceeded with the damned dewlap to enable you to enter into
• Gunboat for the asesesks of all the works embraced in
year undertaking. The winking plan on a large scale is
mow completed, en se re male se to delineate with perfect
ationmey the exact property which will be tunothed to the
contractor. The section of the archway and other works of
the railway, including the chief stations near Paddington,
are ready to be submitted to the inspection of ontraciors.
The experience which the preparation of then do-
cuments has given me, and my general knowledge
of your position, Wan me to recommend to you to adopt a
plan of proceeding which, although it will give you the ht
sat of wholesome oompetition, will at the same time secure
the completion of the undertaking for a definite mount, and
leave no uncertainty whatever as regards the cost of the
works. I propose that you should select a certain number of
ocatractore of high position, and with peculiar fitness for
works of this character, and having draws up • sear ten-
der end draft contract, including • reference to plans and
ether documents, obtain proposals for the completion of the
works of the listropoliten Railway on a gaerantee contract
incensin of all contingencies. When assn tenders are
remind It will be proper, in my opinion, for you to accept
she lowest tender, on the obvious ground that you only select
we to whom you are willing the works shall be let.
It will be a matter of serious consideration for the
board whether it would tot be better to wait the
tertaination of the present strike asnenget manna bah» they

wine vary inconvenient to you, I ,`could recommend a post-

investigation coa.equent on Ohs preparation of the detailed

sliceable experience in the construction of railways is and
ground London, in stating it so toy opinion that the works
sestemplated cen be carried out for the amend of year er
pita, that the working will be attended nth perket saner,
sad that you will find it necessary to apply to parliament at
no
