CITY OF MEXICO, July l4.-Mrs. Foster,

ill., but her physicians are confident that she
will recover.
News has been received that committee
of merchants and manufacturers, of Chicago,
purpose to visit this city next October. For
eign merchants here are inclined to under
rate the efforts of Americans to supplant
them. They claim that they can control
sixty million out of the seventy-six million
dollars of importations annually. The Ger
mans are monopolizing the importing trade
They are charged by the English and French
merchants with corruptly manipulating the
customs service so as to enable them to I'M

THE GREAT PROBLEM.

The enigma which the modern
Sphinx, with her sad and impressive
eyes gazing on the struggles and suf
ferings of humanity, propounds to
every conner is:-"How shall every
worker have his share of food -
Keen minds seize upon the problem
ane strive to find a solution. Philos
ophers and philanthopists alike study
it in all it's bearings and deliver pro-
found opinions Many and various
were the answers, and yet the Sphinx
still beholds in human society millions
of wretched beings starving in enforc'
ed idleness, even in the midst of ac.
tivity and plenty. No Edipus comes
to win the crown by correct and
final solution of the problem. and in

SAYS there is abundance, too much
abundance; it is over-production OF
commodities that we are suffering
from. But can men starve because

A RELIC OE WASHINGTON.

A Relic of Washi ngton.-Capt.
Bailey, of Newbury, Mass. who is
connected with the Warrant Division,
has been engaged for many years in
arranging the old and musty files OF
the treasury, with a view to the prep
aration of a complete financial history
of the government. In the course OF
this investigation he has discovered a
great many valuable historical papers,
and has brought down the tabulated
results of the expenditures of the
government, in all the branches of the
service. from the foundation Of the
republic until now. One of the curl
Gus papers discovered in the manu-
script statement of Gen. George
Washington with the United States
government for the period of eight
years, commencing June. IT'S. and
ending June, 1888. This statement
was originally the voucher to the
Warrant Division for the payment of
the account. 1t is preserved as most
precious photographic relic. This ac-
count includes great many personal
expenses which Gen. Washington
charged to the government. His rea-
sons for making these charges have
considerable pertinency even at this
date. They are given in the follow
ing note at the end of his statement
of accounts
"Altho' / kept memms. of these ex-
penditures / did not introduce them
into my public accounts as they &C.
cuTred-the reason was. it appeared.
at first view, in the commencement
of them. to have the complexion of a
private charge-that my doubts there
fore of the propriety of mak'g it.
But the peculiar circumstances at
tending my command, and the en-
barassed situation of our Public affairs
which obliged me Ito the no small de-
triment of my private INTEREST," to
postpone the visit / every year con-
templated to make my family between
the close of one campaign and opening
of another-and as this expense was
incident thereto. and consequent of

adjudged the charge IS just with re-
spect to the Public as it is convenient
with respect to myself; and I make it

Sphinx. Many are the replies given.
One says we have too little money,
another too much machinery, anoth-
er too many hours oflabor. One sug-
gests, as remedy, Communism; an
other, co operation; a third, restrict
ion of the hours of work, and so on.
Among the many answers to the mo-
mentous puzzle there comes to us a
small pamphlet by W. Goodwin
Moody, with{the imposing title, ssOur
Labor Difficulties; the Cause and the
Way Out. Being Practical Solution
of the Labor Problem" And yet with
all it's pretenslons it is solution tina t
does not solve. Mr.. Moody attributes
enforced idleness, and consequent
want and misery to the multiplication
of labor-saving machinery. Even the
processes of agriculture are perform
cd on larger scale by fewer men than
in former years, and through almost
every branch industry there has been
greatly increased production from the
employment of less human labor.
Wheels and cogs put hands out of
work. Steam and iron dispense with
muscle. For a time enlarged mark
ests, diminution of prices and increas-
ed consumption gave opportunity for
an increase of production to keep all
busy, but the limit of that movement
has been passed. Steam ploughs,
patent sewers, mowers, reapers,
Neutrality-suspicious., sent country boys
to seek their fortune somewhere be-
sides on the paternal acres. Sewing
and knitting machines, and the null
titudinous spindle and looms of the
factories produce clothing for thous-
ands of families by the work of scores.
In every department of industry peo-
pie are thrown into idleness by this
remorseless machinery that makes
production outstrip consumption.
Is machinery curse and inventive
genius delusiOn and snare! Here
recurs the old question. how can in
crease contribute to scarcity and
abundance of production to waut
More wealth for less work surely
ought to be a blessing. But how if it
give the work to part and leave the
rest without any and concentrate the
wealth in fewer hands and leave the
many in poverty! Will there not be,
after all the growth in production and
wealth, more idleness and suffering
than before! How can it be helped
By diminishing the hours of labor,
says Mr.. Moody. That is the panacea
for the whole evil. Let the machinery
run for shorter time so that enough
of it may be necessary to do our work
to employ all hands running it. Here
will be double gain. All will be
employed aad all will have more leis-
ure. And will not all have lower
wages! Will the fund that business
can use out of resources for the EN-.
ployment of labor be increased! Will
the same aggregate of wages purchase
more for consumption and increase the
activity of business Wilt be more
than a further division of the half
loaf! We do not think the modern
Sphinx will be satisfied with this an
swer, but she grows more emphatic
in putting her queition as the agony
increases. "There is enough for all.
How shall every worker have his
share of work; how shall every mouth
have it's share of food Z" The enig-
ma waits for Gdipus.-B oston Clone.
