interests and opinions between growing populations
and declining Institutions, hungry ambition and crusy

This universal struggle between old and new ideas,
will in my opinion be an excellent of progress;
noting les would bring dissolution 10 the fostering
antiquities which offend the moral of justice and
obstruct the progress of the world. Ia England we
Lave had civil war that is TO say, quiet struggle be-
tween capital and labor in the manufacturing districts
Of the North. TIE manufacturers had lived in clover
during mary years and become enormously rich by the
increasing supply of labor being in Of the de-
nand while tie men, for want of organization, had no
means of obtaining fair price for ther labor This
seemed natural to the masters because they could eas
y come rich and influential people it seemed HHHai
ugal 10 The lsboripg men add women, because they
could not live decenty without rJniDg their health by
excessive toll the masters contend that the principle
Of supply and demand is the only true principle the
men say humanity and education, health and recrea-
ton are older principles and quite as true The talk
las lasted many ears and nov the growing Intelligence
Of tie working people las taught them 70 organize
lemtelyes in trade unions ana support each other IN
the war of strikes when proper wages are denied by
any sCt Of masters in q given locality. The present
struggle has lasted many months at Preston III L4nca
shine and the working classes throughout England and
Scotland Laye subscribed something Ike three thousand
pounds per week TO support the operatives The mill
owners seeing this beginning to calculate, and fnd,
Jg close examination that they afford TO pay the 10
uer cent demanded The ministers aud inluentialmen
in Parliament are also of opinion notc, that law of
"limittd liability" enabling the workngmen to save
their money and hold shares in the capital of the
mills and manufactures in which they work,
would be good thing to give them proportion OF The
profits of capital well as daily stipend for their
labor This principle was quite as well understood by
all parties years ago. but long the working people
were unable TO resist the masters in lowering the
wages according to the abundance of supply these
intelligent gentlemen did not want 20 lose their own
advantages by dreaming of humanity, morality, and
healthy population. The successful war OF the opera
tyes has helped them TO understand the necessity OF at
least OfOne part of the dreaming theory This as Well
asmany other things shows that reason is but dream
without the healthy excitement OF little war or 4
great struggle TO sharpen the nelects OF interested
obstructives The world would not be able to progress
without antsgonism saanism for Satan is the name
of an adversary and all distractions require adversar
les to remove them 1t is then good that Satan gov
ems the world little, and then; for without him
we should not be able to move In the labor q1es-
ton, as in many other questions, there is doubtless
much 10 be said on either side but then some people
manage to say only that which suits the temper OF one
side alone. The Times this very morning has fling al
the "ndiscretion of the operatives OF Preston whs

another page and is advocating the principle OF lin
tied liability as if it were thing but recently di'cov-
cred, as legislative boon.
The working classes am happy to say, are impro'-
ing fast in knowledge and intelligence, and they Will
drive the middle and the upper classes onward by ors

Now they only lock at one and that one, their owa
personal interest the present state Of things Whatan
other and better state of things might do for all par
ties they do not to examine, simply because mere
selfshpess is in hurry to make hay While inc sun

many things are very quietly uneasy. Discomfort and
rage and fear smodering in myriads OF minds, and
quiet and suspense seem suited to the temper OF all
