Victory Of the workingmen.

A little more than two weeks ago the
long expressed determination of the work
ingmen to demand their rights took shape
in the strike inaugurated BY several of the
pnpeipal trades for eight hours The re-
suit could hardly be foretOld On the one
side was the money Of the capitalists on

strong, determined, and unfimching
+" You have had your day said the work
ingmen, now we want ours" Not long
was the result in doubt The employers
placed their hopes in non mon men, but
the non Union men became quickly inocu-
lated with " striking principles, and were
soon found in the front rank Of the various
societies. The bricklayers and masons led
the van Of struggling labor, and as they are
Of the strongest trades in the Union, the
issue Of their action was looked for With
much anxiety. At twelve O'Clock, moon,
on Monday, the 10th instant, forty
i've master nlASOns agreed T. their
wOrkingmens demands, and al the same
time the bosses, BY majority ~ one,
decided tn accede Ia the eight-hour regula-
tion, subsequently making the vote unan-
imous. Thus, Ia one day, a great victory
was achieved, the men going to work next
morning on the new system. The carpen-
tiers, no less powerful organization, pre-
sented their demands, and were successful.
Then the plumbers came bravely along,
and after u short struggle were victorious.
The cabinet makers, carvers, varnishers
upholsterers, sash and blind makers, and
other trades Of lesser Importance are now
On a strike, and from present prospect,

We have no desire to see enmlties sow

and one which no combination Of laborers
by mere concentrated opposition can pre-
vent. In short, that nothing but full un-
folding, and clear understanding of the
corporate and fiscal contrivances of the gov
eminent and Of the central idea which
control all the exchanges and actions of
business men, will, or can furnish base of
operation sufficiently powerful to resist
this modern amphisboena which will eat
out the rights and the substance of the
American and European lAborer. To ap-
preciate the full force of this statement. it
is necessary to unfold something Of the
philosophy which underlies all societary
movements. Philosophy in history read
backwards-all the movements of society
run in cycles, and refer themselves to
some great central idea, that idea, il gener-
ally compound Of obedienes or assent to
some religious sentiment, united with gov
ernmental and social conditions IN unison
with it. For example take the old Roman
world, ita centre was military power; all the
lands and the labor Of the people was con-
trolled in direction Of the support Of the
military leaders, or generals-and the san
timents Of the people, and all their ideas of
life, were subordinased to this grand Gen.
trail idea Of military rule. Until that Or
der was broken, there was no change in the
condition Of the people. But the principle
