Oh permanent footing. That it is
a grand success cannot be denied
when ue consider illat it was inaug-
urated IA the midst of,he hard times,
withohtmoney, and with very little
prospect Of getting even enough to
pay fof the most trifling expenses,
with bnt little experience, and no
assurance that the people would CO.
operate With and support the enter
prise, 10 was intended last year to
try to gtt enough money subscribed

ure for oDe reason or another and
many might have supposed that the
whelething would be allowed to drop,
But tliat was not the idea of the men
who were at the head Of it. II was
determined this year to try it again,
in tho hopes that it could be made to
pay for itself, and if it has done no
more ii has at least done that, even
at theriaieulously low prices Of ad.
mission charged. AT this writing
we cannot say what it may foot up,
nor nov sfecessful the show has been
in the way Of pleasing the people,
bnt it isieyldent from the large crowd
in attendance that something has
been gained pecuniarly, which gives
the promise that the association will
DO able to make further improve
ments iorthe next year
Thoexhibition is inst what the
peoplqa willing to make it, and if
they have made it SO good under the
present circumstances, there appears
to be Horeason why they should not

sent, add the general indication that

There are at least three million
men in the United States to-day
whose chief occupation is to try to
get a living at the expense of some
body else. Their wits are actively
at work to discover some mode Of
avoiding honest work. Manyof this
class Of men are enormously called
"workingmeu;" but their chief aim
seems to be to sow discomfort among
honest and well meaning working
men.
Various are the schemes Of these
men to try aud live at the expense
Of the government. which is but
another name of living at the cx-
pense of their more industrious and
economical neighbors. The latest
scheme which has come to our attcn-
tion is the organization at Washing.
ton of a new party, styling itself the
enlisted Labor Association" Its
demands are quite as modest as the
usual run Of that variety Of politi-
clans, to say the least; that they will
be recognized rs emincntly Just by
many of our budding statesmen can
not be doubted by any one familiar
with the spread Of ordinary political
and economical fallacios. 1t is calm
ly proposed to ask Congress for legis,
lation that will enable the enlist
ment of 100000 men "for military
and agricultural purposes" for FIVE
years. These warrior-farmers are to
receive the same pay as regular sol
diers, and are to be located on II Gov
ornment reservation. There will be
twelve skilled mechanics in each
company, and one or more regiments
Of each corps will be composed OK
clusively of engineers, A corps will
consist Of 10000 men and as soon as
corps is filed by enlistment, it is to
be transferred to the scene of its fG-
ture agricultural triumphs on the
reservation. Once there, the regi-
mont of engineers will lay out a city,
the skilled mechanics will begin to
work, each according to his art and
trade, and the work Of commerce,
agriculture, mining and manufactur.
| ing will be pushed forward according
to Upton's tactics. The Govern.
ment, in addition to paying the
troops and furnishing rations, is to
provide all tools, seeds and stock
needed by each corps.
Every person who enlists shall be
entitled to a patent for 100 acres of
land, or if he prefers it, to one city
lot when he is honorably discharged,
To show that the promoters Of this
brilliant scheme have 40 intention
of taking something for nothing, it
is generously provided that the Gov
crnment shall retain every second
lot in each Of the cities to be built
by this industrial army, These are
the main features Of the plan propo-
scd by the United Labor Association
for bottering the condition of the
nottingham. Of course the details
are necessarily imperfect, but all
small defects will be rcmcdicd, after
some experimental effort,
This is one of the fruits of Kcar-
neyism. There was Il time in this
