STILL ANOTHER VIEW.
There is also that which cannot be dsre
garded in the statement called up by the Ne1
York Bulletin, that Schultze, Of Delilsch, tn
great labor apostle of Germany. revolution
lied the industry of his country by the soun
maxim that the only means Of improving tn
condition OF the workingman Is by increases
production and increased economy of earn
ings. He 30 impressed his countryman will
this sound principle, that 1t has served then
| to equally good purpose In the Fatherland ant
in the home of their adoption in the Unitet
States. In this country the adoption OF thi
principle has rendered them the most indus
trious, thrifty and prosperous portion Of on
foreIgn-born population. Hence, adds tn,
Bulletin
It is folly to assume that strikes are wicked
measures pushed to wicked ends by wicked
men. 1t is not yet absolutely settled as :
moral law that men who work with thei
hands are only to have their daily bread, ant
that those who work with money are to have
all the combined profit OF. labor and capital
1t Is, moreover, question becoming dali!
more and more complicated precisely wha
daily bread Is, and how much OF it the indivi
dual man and brother ought to have in his In
diyidua basket. Ours is a commercial age;'
the world Is richer than 1t ever was before
and is richer because 1t Is more Intelligent
With the accumulation of riches Inevitably
comes up the question of their distribution
question by no means without lis difficulties
especially calling for the wisest heads for itt
tied any considerable time by O policeman's
baton. Possibly that argument must some
times be resorted to, but the sooner brains
can be put to some better use than to be
knocked out by the b2tons, the sooner We
shall come to q rational conclusion OF the
whole subject. If things are right just rs they
are, 1t will not be an easy task to prove that
to the majority in the world, who have begun
to doubt ii, and it is brains, not baloDs. that
they will submit to. The sooner we begin to
be rational the better.
To the German workmen the idea OF I'm
proving their condition by standing idle must
appea. self-evident absurdity. II Is contrary
to all their habits and tendencies. They know
beforehand that an enforced or voluntary Idle
ness OF few weeks will entail on them a loss
that cannot be compensated by years indus-
try. even under the attachments Of the objects
of the strike. The suspension oil income ana
the sure outgo for rent, food, and other neces-
sary expenses of living, are definite and posi-.
tive losses that can hardly be counterbalanceG
by the doubtful adre ntages promised by the
trades unions.
The New York Journal c. 7"-qmerce says:
Nobody, however, can esca. 20 from the cost
ly consequences OF the strikes which have
been going on here now for nearly Two
months. They have raised the prices Of many
of the necessaries of life, and increased the
ness in New York. Every man with
anything 10 cell is revising or preparing
to revise his price-list win view TO
meet the greater expenses OF carrying on
business. Bnt, OF all who will have 10 pay
dearly for those violent and long-continued
disturbances of The natural laws OF trade, the
strikers will be the worst oil.
