CANADIAN OPINION ON TUE LABOR

BRBANrINDUsTRIEs ovERcRowDRD.
From the Quebec Mercury. Sept, IA. = 81
| The conduct Of tile American railway
companies In voluntarily raising the rate
OF wages on their lines is not only yery
praiseworthy butt is sound policy. No
doubt Ameri can employers, having
shown firm front in the face of the
strikers, will now practice conciliation,
and thus wisely postpone fresh collis-
ion between labor and capital, money
and muscle, In the great American Re-
public. Phe evils, however, lie deer.
which have caused the recent riots; and
the deepest of their sources is that Amer
lean civilization is far too precocious to
be healthy. And the United States are
suffering from the same evils as the old
er communities is to say, there are
too many people living by pursuits dis
connected with the soil, and too few di-
rectly living off the land. The theories
of industrial production by urban to.l
have been carried altogether too far, and
the States have no excuse for being led
by them. Their large extent of territory
ought to have led them to a correspond
ing development of agriculture. Land
specializing, however, has placed land as
far out OF the reach of the American
workingman as out Of that of his Eng
lish cousin. Andyet in all the Ameri-
cans have said about Communism they
have missed this great polnt-that the
father OF Communism is proletarianism,
and that II is in an extensive division of
the land and consequently in a large
humber of landed proprietors that the
safety OF society against Communism ex-
lists. ...
One suggestion made by some writers
in the States on the late strike and the
riots arising from it is only too well
worthy the attention of our nelghbors,
and that is, that the next insurrection
may be far more formidable than the
last, for In the future authority will
have TO deal with not only well armed
but well drilled and efficiently organized
mobs. The cure, however, must be rad
ical, and consists in bringing land and
labor into that union which an excess of
mechanical ingenuity and mercantile en-
terprise has of late years disturbed Locke
says the use of the land is the origin Of
title to 1t; and the recent labor riots, like
the perpetual Indian troubles, arise from
forgetting this rule. and allowing the
wilderness to be locked against the peo-
pie by practically assuming the very COLI
Lrary of Locke's just proposition.

THE NEW ORLEANS DEMOCRAT SUNDAY DECEMBER 1877

clamorously resent the necessity which
compelled them to put up with cheap
and comparatively worthless babies,
confess that they cannot prove to the
the half dozen best infants respec-
lively belong. The husbands, who
take the broad, general ground
that one infant is about as
good as another, are unwilling to inter
fere, and it is only too probable that the
sixteen blackberry babies will never
know their real mothers, and that their
own identity will be q puzzle to them
for the remainder Of their lives, This
tragedy shows the necessity OF brand
ing or otherwise permanently marking
babies, and suggests the question wheth,
er the managers OF the blackberry ball
are not legally responsible to the dissat-
isfied mothers, and cannot be compelled
to make good the losses which the lat
ter have sustained.
