WORTH REMEMBER
ING.

careful observers, proves that the
poorest paid labor is the dearest in
the end. The industrial classes are
the mediums through which
commerce derives its profit, and
when the wages of labor is reduced
to a low average, or restricted to
the purchase of the coarsest neces-
saries of life, commerce languishes,
and general loss, results. These
truths ore not local in their charac-
ter, they ore universal, and still
many employers adopt a reduction
Of wages as the first and only rem
edy for dullness or unsatisfactory
profits in their business; but in so
doing they make a serious mistake.
as q little careful study and close
observation will teach them. The
gain to employing individuals, firms
or corporations, from a reduction
of wages is but temporary, while the
loss to communicate is often very
serious and of long duration.
Employers who own houses and
lands, occupied by working people,
find that q reduction of wages ne
cessitates o fall in the value of real
estate, o discount on the price Of
rents, and that discomfort, and
often real suffering, results to the
employed. This has been demons
trated in this city more than once
within a few years, and yet some
employers, who are heavy losers
from this cause, b]indly resort to a
reduction of wages as an easy, and,
IS they seem to think,
eAiectual, remedy for all decline in
the average of their incomes; in
fact, labor is called upon to pay
losses, support itself on insufficient
pay, and produce a profit for en-
ployers. The general and final loss
to Boston, resulting from the re-
auctions in wages during the past
fifteen months, it is safe to say, will
he more than quadruple the amount
of gain to employers by the
cut down. Employers, when
dissatisfied with the prices
for their goods, sometimes
cheaper the quality and cut down
the price Of labor, and the employed
slight their work, and save their
muscles; but buyers finally discover
the deception and seek more relia-
BILE goods in other quarters. It is
a fact that those employers who
have employed the most skilful
workmen, paid the best prices, and
made the best goods, have been the
most successful. It is about as
sensible to expect q poorly paid
workman to do a large amount OF
work and do it we'll as it would
be to expect a half-starved horse to
perform as much as one well kept.
The lack of reciprocal feeling and
cooperative influences between en-
ployers and emplosed is a serious
barrier to the general good Of all
concerned.
No eulogy is needed now. The
malice which came from envy will
be disarmed by death, and hik
fame will be safe in the keeping Of
the country he served SO purely

Il SERMON IN a PARAGRAPH

President Porter, Of Yale, gave
the following advice to the students
OF that institution, the other day:
young men, you are the archi-
tects of your own fortunes. Rely
upon your own strength Of body
and soul. Take for your star self
reliance. Subscribe on your ban
ner, Luck is a fool, Pluck is hero.
Don't take too much advice-keep
ct your helm and steer your own
ship, and remember that. the great
art of commanding is to take q fair
share of the work. Think well Of
yourself. Strike out. Assume your
own position. Put potatoes in a
cart, over q rough road, and the
small ones 60 to the bottom. Rise
above the envious and jealous. Fire
above the mark you intend to hit.
Energy, invincible determination,
with a right motive, r the levers
that move the world. Don't drink
Don't chew. Don't smoke. Don't
swear. Don't deceive. Don't read
novels. Don't marry until you can
support a wife. Be in earnest. Be
self-reliant. Be generous. Be
civil. Read the papers. Advertise
your business. Make money and
do good with it. Love your God
and fellowmen.: Love truth and
virtue. Love your country and
obey it's laws" IF this advice is
implicitly followed by the young
men Of the country, the millennium
Is near at hand. -.
