and with them brought freedom for the

IN the hands Of small man showed that
skill and not gladiatorial strength would
win battles. The sword and shield Of the
mighty fell powerless before the leaden
bullet. The press told the people that
kings did not rule by divins right, but BY
force, that government should be such only
by the consent Of the governed. To deny
the right of feudal lords to tyraulze over
them they organized Trades Unions 70

Prosecuted, starved, outlawed, tie work
men in secret con We, laid good the founda-
ton, that 10 the future was to free the
United Kingdom of Britain and send its
benign influence over the civilized world.
They grew as grows the tender saphng when
struggling against storm and hurricane for
existence takes deeper root. shoots forth
Its branches far and wide, giving home to
the fcathery tribes Of the air, and shade to
the weary traveller. Prosecuted they have
grown in wealth, power, number, and

that Of civilization.
And now over half century is past, and
the gem Of unionism is perfecting its develop

what was once dcspised and persccuted, is
now looked on with fear and trembling,
while others greet the new dispensation with
joy. The merits Of Trades Unions are now
to be tested. Their power is already ac-
knowledged. The age proposes to give
their advocates hearing, and demnnds to
know what has been done to ameliorate the
condition ofthe class they represent, what
they propose to do in the present and
future.
And this is a most natural and legitimate
demand, coming from the people Of ournaton-
al commonwealth, as they are ever willing to
accept the good and true. and to annihilate
wrong and injustice. Has there any good

influence been for the general welfare or for

people that settlement Of this vexed ques-

reached, and that right speedily, for the
educated and enfranchised workers arc orge'.-

He says "if you dc not comply with justice
you must suffer, for injustice breeds injustice;
withhold from Us our rights and you must
suffer the consequences. Our strength 10 in
united action. This we know, Trades
Unions is this. 1t is the word, the creed, the
religion and faith Of the worker, and by
this sign say they we will conquer. Beware

Ironworkers I'm Prussia.

The IRON Trade RevieW has the follow
ing: The number Of ironwOrkers in Prussia
is thirty-seven thousand or double the mum
Der Of 1916 There arc six hundred and
fifty-fvc iron works Of various kinds, chiefly
in the neighborhoOd Of Aix-la- -Chapclle, %
IOgns, Dusseldorf, Coblcntz, Rcves, Arms
berg and Berlin. In 1865 the works pro-
duced 693,147 tons Of pig iron, AZ 900
tons Of raw steel iron, 1S7. 400 tons Of cast
iron 404,250 tons Of rolled rod and bar
iron, 75,450 tons Of plates, giving .
rctal OF f3,043,OOO or an increase Of e.
314,O00 upon the iron produced in 1861.
The manufacture of steel has made great
progress dunpg the past few years. ln
1861 only 33, $40 tons Of steel were pro
duced, but in 1865 the amount was raised
to ~ $50 tons. Thus the amount Of man
ufactured steel has trcbled itself in four
years The chief Of this manufacture is in
Westphalia and on the Rhine, only few
works having been scattered throughout the
eastern provinces. The famous cast steel
factory belonging 70 Mr.. KruPP, at Essen,
Dusseldorf, employs alone eight thousand
wOrkmen, and turns out 6fty thousand tons
Of steel annualey, quantity more than one
half Of the entire produce Of The kingdom.
Prussian steel improves in quality every
year, and it is said to be little, if at all, in
feriOr to English make. The development
Of tie steel trade is due to the demand for
the refined metal for military and railway
purposes, and also to the construction Of
metal works for carrying On the process Of
hammeriDg, rolling and boring.

A correspondent calls our. attention to
the fact that in the Bill Of Rights in the
new constitution, it is provided that all
persons arrested shall be bailable, except in
cases Of capital offences. The writer thinks
that, under this provision, if the death PEN
atty should be abolished, murderers would
be admitted to bai1, and that,, even now,
since murder is not necessarily capital of
fence, but depends On the decision Of The
jury whether capital punishment shall fol-
low conviction OF not, murderers Will be
bailahlet - -
If the death penalty should be abolished,
there would, Of course, be no capital Of
fences, mud all persons arrested would be
admitted to bail on sufficient suret1ez. But,
rs regards the other point, We can zee no
reason for supposing that murder viii
be bai1ab1e offence, simply because mur-
derer may be hanged or imprisoned, nt the
discretion Of the jurT. The new constitu:
ton, in this respect, is m exact copy Of the
old constitution, under which murder Was
not necessarily punished with death, be-
cause it might be found BY the jury to be
murder in the 6rst or in the second degree;
and, even it u person was convicted of mur-
der in the first degree, it was optional with
the Governor to commute his. sentence, or
esen to pardon him = -.
