THE MINERS.

On Monday evening last sociable Of the
miners Of Braidwood, their wives, sweet
hearts, and little ones, to the number Of FIVE
hundred, assembled in the village school
house for the purpose of testifyiug to Alex.

services in behalf OF the miners Of Great
Britain, and also for the purpose Of pre-
seutiDg him with slight testimonial Of their
respect The chair was taken by A. @.
Cameron, Of the WoRKINGNAN's Advocate,
who, in . few appropriate remarks, intro
duced the guest Of the evening, referring to
the services he had rendered alike to the
workingmen Of the old and new worlds.
Mr.. Mcdonald, on rising, was greeted
with the most enthusiastic applause. After
acknowledging the compliment paid, he re-
ferred to the state of affairs existing in
Brentwood, and stated that be regretted to
learn that while in Graat Britain many Of
them were contending with every prospect
Of success for tae establishment OF the
eight hours system, the miners Of Illinoi 3

ing fourteen aud sixteen hours per day. He
also stated that at the next session of Par.
lament he had every reason to believe that
an act would be passed restricting the hours
Of labor Of all children working in mines
under sixteen years Of age, to fifty hours
per week. His saddress was listened through
out with the deepest interest. and received
the enthusiastic appobation of the audience
Mr.. CAMERON referred at length to the
necessity for securing the services OF such Q
leader as Mr.. McDonald-a representative
trades unionist, who has made one Of the
most uranswerAble, logical, and connivine
arguments in behalf of the necessity and
justice of Trades Unions on record. He who
urged npon the miners of the West the im-
pOrtance Of securing the services Of one who
was 80 well qualified to defend and represent
the interests before our State and National
Councils as the guest of the evening. He
closed with 40 earnest appeal to the miners
of Braidwood to take the initiative in the
movement, assuring them that their breth.
rem throughout the country would earnestly
second them in their endeavors, and also
urging upon them their duty in allyiDe

Sir When writing or speaking Of labor
and the condition Of laborers in England,
people are too much in the habit Of refer
ring to the artizans, and other dwellers ID
great cities and towns. They seem to for
get altogether the multitudes--of men, wom-
en-, and children who are occupied in agri-
culture and whose dwellings are in small
villages or in the lovely wayside cottage
small groups over their thin beer in the vii
lage dollhouse. They nurse no common
grievance to which they can articulate ex-

them. And hence, from generation to gen

drop into it, and rot without ever having
known anything Of the dignity or even com

On the evening Of Fridays the Sth inst, Q
meeting of The miners Of this very impor-
tant mining district in our Sssse wss held, in
Mr.. McKinlsy's Hall, Braidwood- me Oh
ject Of the meeting was 70 bear sn address
by Mr.. Alexander McDonald, President Of
the Miners National Association OF Great
Britain. The hall was well Allied. Mr.. jas.
Braidwood, the pioneer Of the prairie, was
called upon to preside over the assembly,
and introduced to the meeting Mr.. MELON
aid, who was received with very great aP-
plause.
Mr.. Mcdonald, beginning his address,
spoke of the changes that had taken place
since his last visit to Braidwood. Many
were gone that were there. Many had come
from home in the old country. They knew
best il all the changes were for the better.
He next dwelt upon the spread OF trades
unions in England-theur aim, and the bene-
fits they had brought to the working class
es who followed them out fully. He next
gave some details of the condition Of the
Scotch miners. He asserted that If they
were not % we'll of as tae miners In the
United States, they alone were to blame. II
was because they would more willingly give
to the employing class one shilling Of their
days wages than sxpsnd only three pence
per week for their own defence. He in
stanced the fact that only short time since
they were working at 6ve shillings per
day and eight hours per day. The very
men who enjoyed it went from that and
worked for three -shillings and six pence per
day when they could have maintained Eve.
They went from IL to IA hours when they
could have maintained eight. Mr.. McDon
aid adverted to the efforts that he and 9TH
ers were making to have some protection
for miners. He concluded a long address
by stating it to be his belief that in 1870
they would get law that would prevent
children from being worked more than fifty
hours in any one week, till they were six
teen years Of age (; that there would be fail
weighing that they would b paid weekly,
&C., &c. At the close Of the meeting it wai
moved that social meeting be held on th'
9Th instant. at which Mr.. Mcdonald was in
vited to be present. A vote of thanks Il
the chairman closed the proceedings.
