would ex&& " ~, hswsyer, when used In
the sense ender consideration, as definite a.
|possi11e, md means the power required to
lift 1900 pounds svoirdopois one foot high
In one minute.
A horse bitched 10 the end Of rope over
. pulley one foot in diameter placed over
deep welL travelling at the rate OF about "a
miles per hour, or $40 feet per minute, will
draw mp $50 pounds the same distance he
travels. The force thus excrted II called.
In mechanics, " horse power" it being an
approximation to the average amount Of
continuous power it is fair to demand Of a
strong horse. If we multiply the weight
raised $50 pounds) by the number Of feet it
was moved per minute (22e,) the product
will be ths rumbcr of pounds which the
same power would raise one foot high in
the same lengtn of time (33 ,000)-
The dynahomessr is an instrument made
for measuring power, particularly that ex-
erted in drawing. Those used for testing
The draft Of agricultural implements are
by strong spring balances, or spring steel
yards, graduated TO indicate the power re-
quired to raise any weight within reason
able limit, ut the rate Of p miles per hour.
"nen we apply the dynamometer, in as
certainlng the draught Of machines, if the
index Indicates one hundred and hfty
POUNDS, u ~ shown that the horse IL re-
CURED to draw inst as hard as he would do
II raising one hundred and fifty pounds
out Of well with rope over pulley one
foot ID diameter at the rate Of "a miles per
hour, and SO for other weights. The veloc-
ity at which team moves is to be consider
Cd, as well as the weight to be raised, or the
load to De drawn. If hoyse travels faster
than two and a-half miles an hour, while
raising one hundred and fifty pounds out Of
well, he exerts more than one horse power.
Ii no walks slower than this, he does not
exert force equal to one horse power.
In ascertaining the draught Of pillow, or
reaper and mower, by drawing faster tlan
two and a-half miles per hour, the dyna-
mometer would indicate more than the cor
rect draught; and by driving slower, the
draught would appear to be less than it
really Is. In testing the draught Of machines,
team should always move at the rate Of
two and a-half miles per hour, or two hum
dred and twenty feet per minute, which "a
the universally accepted rate with reference
to which thermometers are graduated, and
IN easy one to which to approximate in
driving with almost any kind Of team.
Many people have supposed that 900
pounds--two horse power-represented the
same force that a team would exert, when
dragging 800 pounds along on the ground.
"A horse can haul 600 pounds On the hard
ground with case, but he could not draw
hard enough on the dynamOmeter to mark
more than $50 or 500 pounds except for a
few minutes. The power OF 4 man Is esti-
mated az One-tifth Of a horse pOwer-iMpy-
lean Agric4ttarisi.

win be found At length In the present issue

connectionsos may NOT BE- amiss TO render
our public thanks for the uniform courtesy

made to obtain . weekly correspondence

hope to make the ADVOCATE more cosmo.

new features from time to time, - success

interests may be reflected, and Of which they
will have no reason 10 be ashamed.

FICTION AND FACTS.
A. G. Cameron, the editor Of the WoRx-
NcMAK's ADvocAfR Of Chicago, has been for
some time initiating q new political party
movement. In his last issue he comes out
squarely in favor Of party organised SIM
ply ON the ssEight Hour question: He
takes occasion TO denounce the State Re-
publican Convention because it did not
adopt q simple g Eight Hour resolution,
but went farther, and resolved in favor OF
shortening tina hours of labor, and protect
ing the rights Of workingmen in all respects.
Mr.. Cameron, who attempts to run the Eight
Hour movement entirely in HIS own interest,
objects to the address of the State Eight
Hour League, because that proposed to op-
pose all monopolies, az well 40 to agitate
the Eight Hour reform. He has certAinly
hindered the organization of new leagues 10
the State, and if the State Republican Con
vent,on had rejected the resolution referre,i
TO, it would be the Legitimate result o. Nv.
Cameron's opposition to the State League,
and the obstacle he has thrown in the way
Of informing the public in regard to that
question.
But the Convention did not treat the SUBJ
iect with scorn. The matter was respectfully
received ano .ne roso.esi1n nnAny suoP.eo
ives - M he work ingmen in that Convention.

The Chicago Tisss Of last Tuesday, in
commenting upon the resolutions Of the
National Labor Congress, takes Il for giant
ed that. it 10 the laudable ambition Of every
workingman to become some day . capital
ist himself This IL not true. The work
ingmen have no such ambition. Their hopes
and their aspirations lie entirely in another
di. sCtion. You might as we'll encourage the
laborer with the hope that be might one
day become president Of the United States
because Lincoln was . FORESTER and boat
man. No; the workingmen- do not expect
to become capitalists themselves. They ar q
beginning to see that this has become an
impossibilltY. They will rever enter the
charmed circle Of monopoly. The civil war
has wonderfully changed eur society. 1t
has created vast national debt and put the
wealth Of the country in the hands Of . few
men who win take good care that ID remains
there. They win make use Of IL to corrupt
tho government and to beat down and de-
grade labor, for the peculiar nature Of
American sristoerscy In such that, its very
existence depends upon the corruption Of
the government and the degradation Of the
working classes. A moments reflection
will make this plain. Oar system Of aris-
tocracy differs from that Of ell other coun-
tries. Napoleon founded an order compos-
ed Of those who had distinguished them
selves upon the field, in science or IN art.
It is evident that this ID not our type. In
England, the afistoozcyis refined and intel
ligent and points back to line q ancestors
which dates from the battle Of Hastings.
None Of these features IRE stamped upon the
american system Our atisiOcrsts are net
