THE WORKING CLASSES.

The proceedings at tho late International Con-
gress of Workmen, where such strange theories
were propounded, give peculiar interest to an
article entitled Les Associations Ouvrieres en Angle-
terre, by Dr. Montucci, which has just appeared in
the September number of the Revue Britannique.
We glean from it th 3 following curious calculation,
by which the author endeavours to show what the
workman gains by contributing to a Trades Union :
—Taking the most common case, that of wages
ranging between 30s. and 40s. a week, suppose the
workman to pay into the savings' bank the four
shillings a week he now pays to the union. There
his money will, at the lowest, produce three per cent.
interest, payable every six months. As the workman
gets nothing in that shape from his union, it is but
fair to admit that, in the case under considera-
tion, he leaves his interest to accumulate in the
savings bank. Now, calculating the produce of
his capital at compound interest, with the regular
weekly increase of four shillings, the workman, at
the end of twenty years, will find himself in pos-
session of a sum of £3BO. Allowing for illness and
other mishaps, let it be £3OO. Now it is clear that
with such a capital at command, a shop may be
opened, some profitable business or other may be
carried on by the wife, while the husband, not
older than 50, perhaps, at the time, earns his
wages as usual at his master's establishment, with
the certainty of having secured comfortable means
of living for his old age. Comparing this hypo-
thetical state of things with the real one, the author
of the article shows that the workman who contri-
butes to the Union fund at the end of 20 years has
nothing ; that, by belonging to the association, he
oses not only the £lO a year to which his sub-
scription amounts, but also on an average three
mouths' work per annum, in consequence of strikes
and other direct or indirect interference with the
regular course of business ; so that his means are
reduced to £72 per annum, instead of £llO, as
they would be in the former case.
