If your space would admit, | would
ask you to publish the noble and encour-
aging words accompanying many Of these
truly generous donations They will at
least be remembered and cherished by
every member of No 16.
A committee was appointed to disburse
this relief, and already about $500 has
been disbursed. They are furnishing
railroad tickets free to those who wish
to leave, and $50 or 300 have availed them
selves of this opportunity to depart OF
course there is comparatively nothing
doing in our business as yet and many
married men have to be provided with
relief, and probably will have to be

however, we hope that trade will again re-
vive, and that we will then take our old
place among the first in the sisterhood

MUCH anxiety is felt here in regard to
the decision of the Supreme Court of the
State, on the Public Works Bill. A decision
on one point has already been rendered,
that is dissolving the injunction granted
by the Circuit Court. The final decision
is looked for with a great deal of anxiety.
as il will remove the appointing power
from the Board of Aldermen of number
OF officers, such as Water, Sewer, and
Grade Commissioners, and many other
minor officers Of the City Government, and
place in the hands of four persons, one of
which will retire every year. and another
be appointed in their place in rotation. The
object of the bill as claimed by those from
whom it originated in the Legislature, is
to correct abuses and thereby lessen the
expenses Of the City Government, and
place these specific powers more in the
hands Of the people, thus efFectually de-
stroying the political rings that infest
nearly all city governments, which benefit
the few while they work injury to the
many. If it tends to reform, push on the
work

The TRADEs.-Since the war there has
not been so great demand for labor here
as at the present time. Carpenters, brick
ayers, stonemasOns, plasterers, shoe
makers, tailors, harness-make in fact all
classes Of mechanics have plenty Of en-
ployment and at good wages. Many Of
the trades now see the folly of permitting
their Unions to languish, but as a whole
the skies are Frightening The immense
amount Of paving being done makes de
mAnd for labor, and those that are disposed
to work can find employment; the dry
weather has favored the paving and sewer
contractors, and enabled them TO push for
ward their contracts, profitable to them
selves and at the same time causing little
inconvenience TO the public in obstructing
travel on the great thoroughiares.

fast approaching, and any false move ar
this junction will only have the effect or
flooding the city with foreign labor, and
lessening instead Of increasing the rate OF
wages.
The workingman's advocate. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1864-1877, 1871-11-04

A WORD WITH our MECHANICs.-We
hope there is no truth III the current
rumor that many of our mechanics-more
particularly the bricklayers, stonecuiters
and plasterers-intend to force wages up
to an unreasonable standard. Such action
would be the height of folly on their part
and end in their discontinue. We feel
satisfied that there is not an employer in
the city who would not prefer the services
of his old hands to the services of the
new corners. We know our w)rkmen
have been sorely stricken by the great
calamity, but they must remember that
they are no worse off than a number OF
their employers, who have, as it were, to
commenced the world anew. If spared
till next spring the indications are that
wages will rank higher in Chicago than
in any other city, and that the demand for
skilled labor will be such as to warrant
them in asking an advance, but under
present circumstances we feel satisfied it il
best to let well enough alone. Winter Is

on using it. we regard it as second to none
in America or abroad. To he able to state
confidently that the Bitters are a certain
cure for dyspepsia and like diseases, is
to the proprietor a source of unalloyed
pleasure. 1t removes all morbid matter
from the stomach, puriies the blood, i'm

numerous acknowledgements OF its superior

sured the proprietor that it can not but
prove a great cure TO the afilict, d, and i'm

gigantic srene statues, about the origin

The foreheads Of these statues are re
