against the use of Elevators aid Steam
Machinery in the measuring and shipping OF
Grain. have bolted at the very outset of their
undertaking, logically considered. If tho Erie
Canal were only filed up, and the Railroads Oh
either side of it INSTRUCTED the transportation
of Grain from the Prairies to the seaboard
would give employment to an immense number
OF teams and teamsters. Horses IN legions
must be had, which would be good for the
farmers; while mechanics must profit BY the
inevitable demand for wagons and harnesses.
Taverns along the great highways would flourish
as they have never yet done, and, in one way
or another, not less than One Million pairs OF
hands would be set to work. Then why not
strike ut once for stopping the Erie Canal ~
would co.t but trine, since tho breaking
down of two or three locks and keepsng them
down, would answer the purpose.
If the use of labOr-saylng machinery IS to be
condemned in the interest of Labor, where
shall We stopl The lumber wagon Is Itself
an improvement on some earlier and ruder
continuance. If horses were discarded and
asses substituted, great many more men must
be employed than at present, especially of such
men as have got up the strike against Grain
Elevators. VIII some ole OF the demagogues
who are misleading the laborers, to their own
and the public's serious damage, be good
enough to state just how far they propose to
