From The NOnpareil ~ me Isl inst
ISDrsTn.-Yes,erday we visited those Union
men who have successfully fought the battle ~
Labor At Industry. The foundry. it j. vel Anown
is owned by the workmcn themselves, aud toe
friends Of man win rejoice to learn that they are
completed successful are doing wei, a. ia the
best Of spirits They suu-llcl f,r ab,u: yc.r
almost against hope bot selfdonia, pcr1sgerence
AMI herosm have won the victory.
As example Of what they endured let it suf
flee to say that some OF them slept upon straw in
one corner Of the foundry building and obtained
their food a. beat they could IL was truly brave
i'm them 20 live in this manner while there was little
or 10 hope of success. But that was the way p
succeec-to submit 20 any hardship and privariOn
which the enterprise may demand Never was an
imIoftaLt o. ject accOmp Ished without seEdsulal
and self sacIlic. What did the Fathers OF the
Regubc endure 10 save the western world from
the power of despoiism! Follow the marches OF
the atriot army in the dead Of " inter. AMI you
can lraca the course oil the prints o. their bleeding
feet which were unprotected agans the iaceratlOn
Of the frozen ground. They bad neither adequate
clothing nor ammunition, and Of en- they hungered
for lack OF the simplest kind OF food.
What did Howard endure for the sake Of the
Cpprtssedl Against the prejudice OF the people
he visited the ins and pententiares OF the Old
World where human beings were suffered % rot
in their own filth. This was not a pleasant diver
sion, 10y any means, aud none bat a Howard hai
the courage 70 visit the dens OF human corruption
an degradation for the purpose Of startling the
world by a revelation OF facts concerning the abuses
10 Wlich thousands were subjected.
And what did Fitch endure IN his studies and
experiments for solving the problem OF navigation
b. steam The people Kissed andc died him Insane
they laughed in derisiOn at his visionary"
schemes aud suffered him TO die in rags and neg.
lect But he could sec further than the hooking
Il -
the living would behold palaces riding submely
along our rivers and over The ocean pillows by the
power Of steam.
Every great good has been achieved by men o
faaL and hopc-men who were willing to die ia a
good cause providing their efforts will benefit the
race To such men Is the world indebted for all 1t
enjoys, and such have been most neglected,
most rdicued and most despiled
But the hero say s." Laugh on; you do not see
the pathway Of the future nor understand your
highest good shall not be afflicted by your in
gratitude but you must allow me to pursue my
own course and achieve your own good"
We'll, laborers you must conclude to be heroic
if YOU would secure any great good 10 yourselves.
1t is not prvation to sleep on straw aud live on
hOe-csk and hOminy, pork and BEANS for the sake
OF Your own independence. You can associate to-
eeIher commence business on a small scale, live
ior dollar week all Included. and toork out your
clon redemption. We have lived ia the forests OF
Lake Superior for - cents per day for months,
al d many have lived there al this rate Tor years
We did not "pine away and die " in sleeping on
the ground and living on pork and -four; on the
contrary, we returned 8 pounds heavier than
usual; and thousands in this city get their
lives prolonged by occasionally pursuing the same
course. 1t IS not privatIOn to sleep Oh snow or on
the leaves and live here, where food is cheap, for
% cents per week that IS not when the triumph
d personal independence is to be won.
We saw at INDUSTRY youth OF but II years,
who was laying up more than score OF dollars
every month"; and living as well snd better than he
would De the city by spending all his earnings
That youth viii be worth thousands before he is
2l-snd for this he will be Indebted to the labor
or anIzation Of Industry
Let tie journeymen OF the city think of these
things and strike for their own happiness The as
ISOLATION at Industry has solved the problem for
you. Believe not the selfish misers who would
prejudice you against that Association The CAPT
ais.s OF the city eng aged the pursuit 20.
sort TO every species Of meanness 10 break down
Industry but they cannot succeed. Labor shall
break them down and place them where they be-
long-on the platform Of labor for living We
shall refer 10 tins often.
