False ideas Of living and eItrAvAgAat
potiOns are responsible for great deal
OF this hopeless misery. Young lads Are
brought up TO consider manual labor de-
grading, and fond. foolish parent, some
times seem to prefer that their children
should GO out into the world helpless
rather than they should learn trade.
But the selfishness of mechanics and the
outrageous tyranny of their unions, have
had hand in bringing to pass the pres
ent state of things. About twenty five
years ago they began series Of expert
ments in the trades-unions, which have
resulted disastrously. The times were
good, work plenty, and wages fair. To
maintain a monopoly of these, associa-
tions of mechanics began to limit the
number of apprentices which might be
employed in each shop, factory, or COM
pany Of workmen.
Men. who had sons to equip for life,
actually voted to shut the trade against
their own offspring. The consequence
was that the supply of skilled workmen
did not keep up with the expansion Of
the country, and with the legitimate de-
mand. Employers were obliged to send
abroad for workmen, and it came to pass
that grown men from foreign parts took
the places in American workshops for
which American boys should have been
educated. Where now are those neglect
ed, cheated boys9 Some of them are in
jails or alms-houses. Some will be found
longing on the benches in the public
parks, vainly waiting for something to
turn up. Others, willing enough, are ad-
vertising for situations where they can
make themselves generally useful.
