The Labor Investigation.
SUGGESTED CAUSES AND CURES OF THE BIZ:


NESS DEPRESSION.
The Congressional labor investigating CON-
mlttee continued its sessions in New York
Hinchman, formerly merchant of Brooklyn,
gave as his impression, founded upon ObServa-
tion and statistics, that there were too many
persons engaged in manufacturing pursuits
and too few in agricultural industry, and the
remedy, he thought is in diversion of the
population OF cities to the agricultural districts
and the contraction of manufacturing.
Mr.. F. B. Timber, well-knOwn New York
merchant, said in trip around the world in
1876 and 1877, he found the same complaint
everywhere of depressed industries, nnremun-
erative business and distress among the work
ing classes. He believed the primary cause of
this universal labor depression was the devel-
0pment OF steam and electricity. He thought
with production, and the country was now
about entering upon a new era of prosperity.
he thought the laboring classes should seek to
limit the number of hours of labor, or in other
words, increase the price which must be given
for doing certain amount of work, and also
to limit the tremendous competition which
they sustained from machinery: He believed
that there was substantial basis for the dis
satisfaction which existed among wOrkingmen,
and that the legislation in the last quarter
OF century had been more largely in the in
been in the interest of the people; also, that
that the poorer and middle classes were SuS-
tanning more than their share of the taxation
necessary to the support of government. Wit
ness thought the Importance of the currency
question was overrated by those who were
camoring for all increase of the circulating
medium. AS regarded the tariff question, while
1t was no doubt true that class interests were
to some extent favored at the expense OF the
gereral public, it was, in his opinion, better to
let it stand it is than to be constantly tinker
ing at it. He thought that legislation might
do something in the way of lesSening intem-
perance among the laboring classes by taxing
heavily all spirituOus liquors, and something
might be done by substituting lighter class
of stimulantS for those heretofore so largely
used. Witness, in conclusion, was opposed to
the system of speculation wherein vast guam
titles OF property was sold when it was known
that 1t would never be delivered. 1t was simp-
~ gambling, alike injurious to the country and
to the working classes.
