The Downward Tendency of Labor.

1t is said that times are so hard in
Adams County, Wisconsin, that many
men are working at twenty-five cents a
day and board. Workingmen should
remember that to similar condition
will they all some day be brought, and
only because ofthe supplying influence
of heinous money system. 1t is merely
the inheritent energy Of our people, the
spontaneous growth and unparalleled
fertility Of our lands, and the wealth an
nually brought into our country by
emigration, that has kept our burdens
as light as they are, though God
knows they are heavy enough now.

DEAR OH FRIEND,-Iha have just re-

effect that the men all resume work,
tomorrow, the 2sth, at one dollar per

the position originally taken by the

effort and a little self-sacri6ce.

CooPERs NO. 2.
The Coopers No. 2, held their re-
gular monthly meeting at Arctic Hall on
Thursday night. There was a very
full representation, and the following
were chosen officers for the ensuing
year:
President-Paulina Falk.
First -Pres-Wm. B. Davis.
Second Vice- Pres. S. Wagner.
Rec. See'y.-Ferdinand Reuter-.
Fin. Sec'y.-Henry James.

VIM. HI. Joice.
The organization under the presi-
dency of Mr.. Falk, promises as good
results as under his predecessor.
THE SHIP JoINRRs
have had some trouble in their camp.
One of the employers sought to 60
against the rules Of the society, by plac-
ing his son to work as journeymen in
his brothers shop, without being mem
Der Of the organization. The men in
the shop demurred, and the result is
that work has ceased. Morris has q
few men at work on a small Job, but as
soon as large one comes along, these
bipeds will have to give way to men
who understand their business. The
HOUSE CARPENTERS
are trying hard to get up their organi-
zation. They are now holding weekly
meetings.
TAKING A STEP IN AD-
NANCE.
It is pleasant in noting the progress of
events, to see few of the hewers of
wood and drawers of water, take step
in advance of their position. In this
connection / may mention our worthy
fellow-citizen, Mr.. Parks, former very
worthy member of the Brick Moulders'
Union. On the occasion of your cor
respondents first visit to the Brick
Moulders' Union of South Baltimore,
he introduced the subject Of co-Opera-
ton, and endeavored to point out some
of its advantages. Mr.. Parks took the
hint, and with a few others, started a
backyard on the cooperation plan.
The first year proved a success, but for
some unsccouutable reason the CO.
partnership was dissolved. Mr.. Parks
had seen and learned sufficient in the
last years operation to convince him
that he could make more out Of his own
labor by employing it himself, than by
hiring it to others, and so started a
brickysrd on Light street, and is now
doing a good business, Mr.. P. having
been a journeymen himself, knows how
to appreciate the labor of others, and
therefore pays full wages to all his
hands. May his shadow never grow
less.
Another instance is that of VIM.
Gather d Son, who have recently com
MERGED business IN the house carpentry
and jobbing line, on Little Sharp street.
Our friends should not forget the old
war-horse when they have little job
of woodwork to do. Nor must for
greet to mention in this connection, our
enterprising friends, Griffith q
Stinchcomb, also in the carpentry
and jobbing line. Let us not forget
our workingmen when they become
employers. We all, among our friends
can do something to advance their in
