THE Revenue Commissioners report last
year stated that the men employed In tie
glass works and steel factories, in Pitts
burgh, have averaged eight dollars day
wages. This statement startles Boston
paper, which asks: "Are not tariffs too
high when they give to the day laborer
wages as large as the salaries of Governors
and members of Congress, and more than
the graduates of our colleges can obtain for
years in any profession?" If pay depends
on useful work, we think that the man who
earns his money by hard labor deserves
quite as much as either Governors, Con-
gressmen or college graduates. A great
trouble in this country is that too many
people try to live without work; and that
whilst professions and stores are overstock-
ed, and there are about twenty times as
many politicians as there is any necessity
for, the useful trades are neglected by
young men choosing callings in life.

And cans, thou feel that lifc's Il dream

That all the boundlcss dot Of love,

That death concludes our beings plan'
Go out beneath the silent skies,
And question why thy soul is stirrel.
As though t'werc scanned 10y angel eyes
At every guilt, thought and word
And ask whence comes the rolling wave
Of peace, that sweeps thy bosom's shrine,
The calm content earth never gave
