The author afterwards proceeded We
have thus taken slight sketch of our pro-
clivities; Of what civIisation might give,
and does give to favoured few, aud OF its
short -comIngs as respects the many. 1t is
much easier, however to find fault than to
show practically how things may be mended
What we require are liberty, health and
security-security from want, or the fear OF
it.
AS to liberty, every one ought to be able
to think, and speak and do as be pleases,
and to 60 where he pleases, 50 that in 90
doing he does not interfere with the equal
rights Of others. Our soc al and economic
system might, il properly developed, give to
each man as much liberty as if he were the
single lord of ALL" As Carlyle puts it
whose has sixpence, is sovereign (to the
length Of sixpenc.) over all men cJmmanIS
cooks to feed him, philosophers to teach him
and kings to noun: guard over him-to the
length OF sxpence.
Health, | fear has never been taken into
account in the doctrine Of the political econ
onists- OF buying 10 the cheapest maj ket
and selling in the dearest. The duty on
corn last year was $4,000; which at Is
quarter would give an importation or all

average consumption Of wheat il estimated
at three-fourths Of quarter per head for
the poorer classes, and half quarter among
the more prosperous making up a total
consumption of about 81 ,000, 900 quarters
per annum." About one third of this comes
from abroad SO that one third Of ouI popu-
lation are dependent upon other countries
for the first necessary Of ife-ther daily
bread. This is by no means q desirable
state of things. Ii would be much better
that we should raise our own food, even if
it cost US great deal more thar it does at
present because in the sweat Of our brow,
from labor on the land, we find health. l
am satisfied that il is false Political Econo-
my that divorces people from the land, and
puts them upon it in greater numbers than
can be fed from its produce. We are in
worse position 10 this respect than any OF the
Continenta nations, ali o. whom are IN clo-
ser connection with the land, and with
fewer Injuries have more Of the conditions

Tue circuust ances under which different
kinds Of labor are performed influence mate
rialiy the total days work, as have already
shown in svera. instances.
As q further instance Of this important
principle, I shall compare the results Of the
"box lift " and the Z" swing lift," as used on
the Oxford and Birmingham Junction Rail-
way.
The swing lift consists Of a balk fixed YER
tically in the ground in such position that
the ends Of long lever. bv which it is sur
mounted, can be alternately swung round to
the same stage. '' The lever" il the case
considered, was constructed Of strong
timber, trusscd by means Of an iron rod,
strained over a short king-2ost Of hard
wood. The lever was balanced on its center
by an iron sling, aud was free to move in an

horizontal plane BY means Of . strong iron
pivot working in cup on the top Of the
vertical balk. Each end Of the lever had an
iron hook, to which the barrows con.aining
the materials and the counterpoise, and
ropes. by naans Of which the men below
gnideG tho Slsa 10 their proper destination,
were attached. The men-riders, descended
by their gravity; in the empty barrow, there
by lifting the weight at the other extremity
Of the lever, and ascended again by ladders,
without carrying any material"
With the aid Of the swing lift thus em-
ployed, it was found, az the result Of more
than one years observation, that
The work done was 1916 n-lbs per minute
Or 2So ft-tOns per day Of 10 hours
Much time was necessarily lost, in the ar
rangement thus described, in swinging the
lever from side to side and the work OBJ
tanned from each man's labor was not 90
great as it shonld have been, nor 90 great
as was readily obtained by the "box lift,"
which proved to be much more economical
contrivance.
The workingman's advocate. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1864-1877, 1869-08-21

$40 times erch d,y. From these data We
find
20 13 80
work done In one day n.-tons.
8. Prisoners also, working under compul-
sion, can be made to use the tread wheel for
8-hoars a day, and thus produce 834 ft.-lbs.
of work.
Examples like the foregoing are, however,
rather to be regarded as feats, showing what
a man can do for q short time, but it is GER
tain that few such days of labor would in
evitably break down the strongest constitu-
ton, and render the laborer unit for any
work at all for long period.
If we col lect together into one table the
preceding results, we shall obtain a good
view of the work done per day by different
classes Of Iaborers, and of their comparative
economy.
