a.abor Question.
NEW YORK, Aug, "a j. j. Henchman, of
Brooklyn, gave his views to the labor con-
gressional committee to-day. He did not
think the depression Of business was so great
as reported, and he believed that the govern
ment should not interfere by legislation.
+. b. Thurber, merchant of this city, testi-
fed that he believed the primary causes OF
the ills of which both iaboring and other
classes are complaining are the development
of steam and electricity, which in connection
with labor saving machinery, have within
comparatively few years, revoutionized pro-
ductiOn and commerce, altered our manners
and customs of life, and now absorb the at
tention OF the statesman OF the day IN the |
ad justment of the organic law to meet the |
changed condition of the age in which we live.
An overstocked market means a commercial |
crisis, with all its attendant phenomena with |
declining prices, idle manufactures and dis
tress among operatives. The only remedy |
for this is to wait until consumption catches
up with production again.
