LABOR COMPENSATION.

A correspondent in another column gives
his ideas of the "Labor Question in con-
nection with the rate of labor compensation.
He seems to think that the laborer is enti-
tied to fair remuneration, and that wages
at present are not too high in proportion to
the prices of other commodities. We
heartily endorse his views in this respect
Labor is not too high, while beef, -four, and
the necessaries of life continue at the pres
ent rates. With good wages the men who
sweat for living can hardly make both
ends meet; with smaller compensation they
would be unable to pay their honest debts.
AS rule ''the better the wages, the better
the times" There never was more pros
porous period in the history of our country
than during the five years of the late civil
war, and why? Simply because labor was
amply remunerated! AS consequence
money was plenty, and through the wages
Of the laborer stimulus was given to every
department of trade. During those years
the merchant, the tailor, the butcher, the
baker, and candlestick- maker, were full of
business and amply repaid in cash. There
never was NOR ;. .siness, nor more money.
Now just as 70 as other commodities are
high, SO long must labor be high. When
eatables, wearing apparel and the like have
come down to ante war prices, then may
labor compensation be lowered, and not till
then. The prosperity of nation is in its
laboring classes. While they are in steady
employment at good compensation the
whole people move on happy, prosperous
and contented. 1t is most important then
that the toilers in our mills, mines, facto-
ries and workshops be well paid, and paid
promptly. There is too much of the spirit
of ''blue-bloodism' in this country, the
main principle of which seems to be the
kicking and snubbing Of the working peo
pie. This is the class that is continually
demanding a reduction of the laboring
mans wages. Not content with turning
up their noses at she begrimed faces of the
honest laborers, they seek 20 crush them
down to poverty through the medium of
low scages. The power, the glory. and the
wealth of the Republic is in the bone and
sinew of the people. Without their labors
we soon would be ship-wrecked; with them
we are safe. By all means let the laboring
men receive righteous pay.

For the w. j. PIONEER.
THE LABOR QUESTION.
BR1DaEroN, June 8. is

DhlDdEIoN, June ., 1910.
Messrs. Editors:-One of your cotempora-
ries in recent article on the "Coal'' strikes
in Pennsylvania, steps aside to give the la
boring man a thrust. After considerable
comment on the action of the miners in
that State, the writer gives utterance to the
following paragraph:
Labor. especially, is too high in proper
tion to other commodities, and only when it
is placed on fair equality with them, will
our Industries have chance of reviving"
Now, we beg leave to differ with the sem
timent of the article throughout, but more
especially with the sentence above quoted.
The assertion made therein, is untrue in
euery particular. "Labor is not too high in
proportion to other commodities" on the
contrary, it is in many cases lower by far
than it should be. What is the rate of Ia
Dor compensation at this time? 1t is not
the same that it was at the close of the war,
reductions having been made by all classes
of manufacturers in the wages of their en-
ployees since then. The pay of the aver
age laborer is almost down to the point it
had reached previous to the rebellion, and
yet we are called upon to pay $4.OO per hum
dred for flour, % cents per pound for beef
steak, 30 cents per pound for coffee, 1S and
20 cents for lard, and great portion of the
year so cents per pound for butter. Dry
goods, we admit, are somewhat lower than
during the war, and yet they have not got
back altogether, to old time prices. With
such condition of affairs, it is useless, yea,
foolish to talk of reduction of the wages
of the laborer. But, if there is to be re-
duction in the rates of compensation, let the
professional man share with the working
man. Let us begin at the top and cut
down, and not begin at the bottom and
stay there. To inaugurate the work a re-
duction should first be made in the salaries
of the clergy, lawyers, journalists and the
like. By all means, let the reduction be
general. Yours, LABoRER.

Forty-seven thousand dollars is more
money than most men earn in lifetime.
A package of this amount abstracted from
one of the Treasury rooms at Washington,
is exercising the detectives of the capital,
and unspeakably worrying the spirit of
Treasurer Spinner. The thing has happened
already some half dozen times, but the
money has been generally recovered, and on
the strength of this rather slim precedent
it is confidently expected this last haul will
be got back to its proper place, although no
body processes to have the least clue to it.
1t seems to us that the opportunities to walk
off with mislaid packages might be some-
what narrowed down.

THE OHIO CONVENTION.

The Republican State Convention, which
met at Columbus on Wednesday of last
week. was one of the most enthusiastic held
for years. 1t was generally thought at the
time of our going toipress, that Judge Taft
of Cincinnati, would be the nominee, but
the programme was changed, and Ex-Gov-
ernor R. B. Hayes was unanimously nomi-
mated amid great cheering. Gen. Hayes is
one of Ohio's most popular sons, has been
twice elected Governor over Thurman and
Pendleton, the strongest men the Democ-
racy could put forth, and with his brilliant
war and civil record. there seems to be no
doubt of his third election. His Demo-
cratic opponent will be the present Gov
ernor of the State, VIM. Allen. The Re-
publicans of Ohio have the true ring about
them, and in the adoption of the following
planks in their platform, they re-echo the
voice of the Republican party generally
First. The States are one as nation, and
all citizens are equal under the laws, and
are entitled to their fullest protection.
Second. That policy of finance should be
steadily pursued, which, without unneces-
sary shock to business or trade, will ulti-
mately equalize the purchasing capacity of
the coin and paper dollar.
Third. We are in favor of tariff for
revenue, with incidental protection to Amer
ican industry.
Fourth. We stand by free education, our
public school system, the taxation of all
for its support, and no division of the school
fund.
Fifth. Under our Republican system of
government there should be no connection,
direct or Indirect between the Church and
State, and we oppose all legislation in the
interest of any particular sect. Upon this
subject we should not fail to profit by the
experience of foreign governments, where
efforts of the Church to control the State,
constitute an evil of great magnitude, and
endanger the power and prosperity of the
people.
Sirth. We demand such revision Of the
patent laws, as will relieve industry from
the oppression of monopolies.
Seuenth. A grateful people can never cease
to remember the services of our soldiers
and sailors, and it is due to them that lib
erality and generosity should obtain in the
adjustment of pay and bounties.
Eighth. We demand that the public do
main. shall be scrupulously reserved for oc-
cupancy by, actual settlers.
Ninth. The determination of the Govern
ment to collect the revenue, and prevent
and punish frauds, has our unqualified ap-
prevail
Tenth. That the power of municipal cor
porations to create debts, should be re-
stricted, and local and other expenditures
should be SO reduced as to diminish taxation
Eleoeaeth. The observance of Washing
toms example in retiring at the close of
second Presidential term will be in the fu-
ture, as it has been in the past, regarded as
a fundamental rule in the unwritten law of
the Republic.
Tweyth. The distinguished success of his
Administration, which to the fame of the
patriot and soldier has added that of the
capable and judicious statesman, entities
President Grant TO the gratitude of his
countrymen.

The District Conference convened at e.
mer, June 8th, and was in session two days.
j. s. Heisler presided over its deliberations.
The Sacrament of the Lords Supper was
celebrated at the opening. J. E. Adams,
was elected Secretary. The Presiding El-
der made an opening address concerning
the work of the Conference. Reports were
received from the several charges on the
District, respecting the tenannrol -, S~'
rUuaI affairs OF the Churches. The usual
Committees were appointed.
The case of F. ]. Carrall, a local preacher
whose license was not renewed at the last

discussion, the Conference renewed his Ii
cense.

day of the session, and fixed the salary of
the Presiding Elder at $1,SO0, which was
apportioned to the several charges as last
year. $3.50 for the support of the Bishop,
was also apportioned. Richard Hiles, of
Salem, was elected Steward for the Annual
Conference.
The Church at Port Norris, claimed the
attention of the Conference, because of it's
financial embarrassments, and the pastor
was cordially invited to solicit aid outside
of his charge.
Various benevolent collections ordered by
the Church, were apportioned to churches.
A paper was read by DR.. w. II. lizard,
on Church Finances, which created consid-
cradle interest in the Conference, and caused
much profitable discussion on that subject.
A paper was also read by E. H. Bacon on
the preparation of the S. s. Teacher, and
another by B. S. Sharp, on the Administra-
tion of Discipline. These papers were care
fully prepared, and brought out many
wholesome thoughts for the consideration
of the Conference.
A discussion on the greater efficacy of
the Church in lhe Salvation of Souls, was
participated in by ]. E. Adams, J. F. Mo-
rell, H. S. Norris, s. P. York and G. G.
Eastlack. The audience was deeply stirred
by the fresh, vigorous thoughts presented.
On Tuesday evening, the Conference SER
mon was preached by J. Moore of Maurice
town; Subject, The Witness of the Spirit
The sermon was clear in thought and pow
erful in delivery.
On Monday afternoon, Sunday School
Meeting was conducted by H. M. Brown,
of Camden, in which number of delegates
The next District Conference, will be held
at Mauricetown sometime in December.

town. The exercises will be held in the M
E. Church on the afternoon of the day cele.
brated-which will be Monday, July 9Th.
