From the Providence Journal
The advocates OF the system OF eight
hours labor seem 10 Imagine that Il
will contribute OF necessity TO the intel.
lectual and social improvement OF the
laborer. The hours gained from hard
toll, 1t Ia added, will be put 10 higher
uses. 1t Is possible that this may be
the result In our country, 10 a consid.
cradle extent, for stimulating influen.
ces abound here to higher degree than
In any other country on earth. But II
10 against the general law Of human
nature, and against the teachings oil
history. The progress OF society bears
very direct ratio to the habits OF labor
and where subsistence Is easy, and the
industrial demands are not urgent
there civilization 10 stagnant, and 90
clety does not advance. .'-.-'
Our national progress has been rapid
because labor has been honorable, and
all classes have been Injured to toll,
But II, with the dlmlnutlon OF the hours
OF labor, there springs up, as ID natu.
raj, tendency to shirk 1t more and
more, the result will be disastrous alike
to prOductlveness and to national char.
@StvAs Al AaneAoAI VI uuEeHu insight
and large wisdom, gives the following
view Of the influence OF light labor, al
suggested by his own observation In
the east: The barbarian ls no better of
for this cheapness; on the contrary II
has most Injurious effect on him. He
wants the stimulus OF necessity 10 force
him to labor, and II iron were as dear
as silver, and calico as cheap as satin,
the effect would be beneficial to him,
AS It Is, he has more Idle hours, ge,s d
more constant supply Of tobacco, and
can iutoxicate himself with arrack
more frequently and more thoroughly,
for your Aru man scorns 10 get hall
drunk, y tumbler full Of arrack is bui
a slight stimulus, and nothing less than
half q gallon Of Spirits will make him
tipsy to his own satisfaction.
