IL the Editor Of the woRkrSex,N's ADVOCATE
The poor have but few active friends
among the rich, There il a selfish vein
running through the whole human race
Those who climbed the ladder Of wealth
yesterday do not look back to the foot Of
it to-day. Those who are starting on the
Journey Of life must not expect to find
downy beds Of ease furnished gratis by
their neighbors ii they do disappoint-
ment must follow. Still there are many
great men and women, too, who are never
content unless they are doing something
for suffering humanity. There Is no OBJ
stacle too great for them to surmount
while promoting the cause of charity and
benevolence.
Ten years ago the 81 Ct June one Of the
greatest movements ever started for day
workmen was made in this city. The
house carpenters had an organization
mum Jering nearly three thousand. Twenty
associations united aud formed the Me-
chanics' State Council An immense pro-
cession was formed, with banners flying
and ten bands of music 10 enliven the
scene. The Board Of Education Board
Of Supervisors, the State Legislature, and
the Congress of the United States passed
eight hour laws, all in six months-be-
tween December, 1867, and July, 1868
The rich. and men holding easy places
under the government, opened their bat
teries in various ways, determined to break
down the ratification erected by the poor.
To create dissension in the ranks of day
workmen was one of the most powerful
weapons in use divide and conquer was
their motto, which told soon with power
full effect
A man out Of work was told that he
would have had plenty but for the eight
hour agitation. Then he turned and
cursed his best friends for getting him into
such a contest, giving himself no credit
for personal independence. The man
true to his colors could pay no one for his
defense, SO his banners fell in such an I'M
equal contest The result is, our labor
saving machinery has 50 increased that it
takes less than half the former number of

men to do the same amount OF work.
There is no regularity in employment q
man must work ten hours per day for .
short time, and then 90 idle for similar
length Of time--no hope for lettering his
condition.
We produce too much more than the
people can consume. The result is low
pric, and lower wages. II does not mat
ter how the price is, man can easily eat
and wear so much any how, and no more
is wanted until the product is consumed.
There must be profitable demand for
labor, or men must be idle though starva-
ton stare them IA the face.
Ii is am old rule to divide the twenty
four hours into three parts eight hours
for labor. eight hours for recreation,
and eight hours for sleep. This
rule should be reversed then more men
would be employed to do the same amount
Of work. More time would be given for
reading, study, and otherwise seeking in
telligence The affairs 81 government are
never safe in the hands of ignorant men.
The ignorant voter elects corrupt men to
office, constantly endangerihg the republic
and ever looking to revolution.

To the Editor Of THE woRkISssAS's ADVOCATE
rhe men of this place are still on strike,
resisting the reduction viz, % per cent
that the Companies wanted us to submit to
in the month OF May. To enable them to
be more successful in their tyrapical de-
signs, they kept our pay that We had earn
ed in the month Of March and April. They
thought to starve us INTO submission, but
in this they have miserably failed, for our
men just look as healthy to-day as they
did when working. Although our diet is
light, cur work is light also. Taking all
things into consideration, We are better
going idle than accepting the companies
terms. Why because we are not con-
tracing a store bill that we never could
pay. This we would be doing if we we're
accepting the companies terms. II is near
" six months since We came out, and !
am sure it will be the other six before the
men of this place will submit to such.
There are good many families in need,
and it is to be hoped that all who can will
assist US in our time Of need.
All monies can be sent to me.

Judge Dayis's Little Joke on a Brother
Senator.

Senator Ferry, according to the WASH
ington correspondent of the Chicago
Times, is pious man. HE is an elder
in the Presbyterian Church. As far as
l can see, and 1 watch him pretty
closely, he is bound for the kingdom.
Of all old bachelors he is the most ire
proachable. He feels very deeply the
dignity of Senator, and maintains it
on all occasions. He is polite, courteous
and cold as ice. No one ever saw him
do natural or improper thing. Every
act is studied and prim and solemn.
The other day the Senator sat at break
fast glancing, as even deacons and SEN
ators will, over his paper, at the women.
He was taking the fiftieth stolen glance
at pretty, little golden-haired saint
from Georgia, when Senator David
Davis, two tables away, startled the
dining-room, by roaring in his lusty
sailor voice to Mr.. Ferry: want to
see you before you go TO the races,
Ferry. Afraid can't go. If it's possi-
BILE for me to get through my work, /
shall be happy to accept your invita-
tion.' The saint turned her big, blue,
reproachful orbs on Ferry. The women
aii looked at him and whispered. The
model Senator blushed scarlet, stroked
his beard nervously, and smiled in a
feeble way at the jolly giant, who sat
shaking his fat sides, and bending his
late judicial head over the thimbleful
of Cruel Banting allows him. His
looks told him that he had got even
with Ferry at last. The tables are
turned. Ferry owes him one.'
