1h's principle cxtcnds all over the world,

Of money in the United States varies as

spend less; in either case there

property must first he produced before it
can be loaned; then those who do not
want to use it in their own business will
lend it to those who desire to borrow it, at

The platform reported to the Labor
Union Convention may be searched in
vain for single practical thought or pzopo-
sition calculated to benefit O, elevate the
a1tisan class, in whose behalf il professes
to be put forth. Il deals exclusively in
distractions and glittesing gsnezalitiea,
sud, at best, ia diFuse assertion OF imprac-
ticable and mlschievors sophisns. The
most important practical proposition TINT
conld engage the attention Of tho
convention, the kystem Of cooperation. is
wholly ignored. No plan is proposed to
help mechanics to obtain homes
of their own. Nothing is said
ia regard to the necessity of steady em-
ployment. or OF saving or investing earn
inEB. Not an admonition III uttered
abont the destructive effects of strong
drink on the minds, bodies, morals, man
nerH, or wages Of workmen. No plan OF
reconciliation and cooperation between cap
'tal and labor is suggested. Nothing, in
short, calculated to do good to the artisan
class to improve their condition. or pro-
mote their material well-being, was doomed
Of sufficient consequence to engage the at
tention OF the convention or its Platform,
Committee.
In place of something practical OF use-
ful, We are treated to long where
ases and resolutions on questions and
