the cheering news of revival in business.
Some men cannot fill their orders, and the
Government, which pays big prices and pays
promptly, goes begging for bids for large con-
tracts, and railroads are compelled to use
second hand rails, because the feundries can
not turn them out fast enough. The ship
ments of wheat are so large that railroads,
not content with doing full business at
reasonable and paying rates, have raised the
price of transportation, but fortunately there
are too many competing lines, and the water
transportation by lake and canal is sufficient
for nearly all the freight offered east of
Chicago and furnishes a check on the ra-
pacity and blind discrimination experienced
here, with single trunk line, and the others
either branches or tributaries. There are
strikes, it is true at Fall River, and some other
manufacturing centers; but strikes are usually
the indication of returning season Of prOsp-
perity and show that orders are coming IN.
1t is the universal course. When factories
have hardly half time work, and are some
times running at loss III order to employ
hands they are compelled to ask a reduction,
rather than shut down. In nine Cases ont OF
ten the workmen accomplish for them what
they did not want to do out OF sympathy
with their laborers they strike and the work
ceases and the manufacturer is relieved.
After long season of depression the market
opens; orders flow in; steam is raised and the
whistle calls out busy throng, eager for
labor A few weeks, and the wise heads of
I re unions get together and reason thus:
there are heavy orders on file none of which
are filled, and there are prospects Of an III
creased trade, now Is our time; we must de-
mand an advance. A demand is made and
refused because these men have had mills
which might have run all the time, lying idle
for months; and stock, contracted for per
haps at high rates, depreciating III their
ware houses, and until returns come IN they
are not i'll a condition to advance wages on
contracts entered into on their old basis; and
so when prosperity is drawing upon owners
and operators, the wheels are once more
stopped: thousand men cease labor, and
families suffer, or eat the bread of charity,
and month is spent in idleness and in cult
waiting habits, which lay, too often, the found |
alton of final ruin We cannot stop to trace |
the evils resulting from this spirit, which keeps
up an antagonsm between employer and en- |
ployed, and blocks the wheels of industry. |
These men never learn the fact, that a faith
full servant becomes an object of care and So
ictu1e to his employer; nor that the interest
of the master is the interest of the servant.
1t is the fable of the "Belly and the members"
Illustrated.
The wnrsmen of England are striking be-
,ause trade is dull our manufactures driving
theirs out of the market, and manufacturers
are consequently lowering wages. The ten
ants in Ireland are striking and unable to pay
rents and are advised to hold their places un-
ii forced out, which will probably cost the
life of few landlords, the razing of few
houses; an increased emigration and more
bad blood" and distrust. Northern Europe
md Asia are surging and boiling, and no one
knows what the end will be; France and Bel
,ium are fighting for an educational system
If their own, independent of the Pope, and
Germany stands like "fretful porcupine, !"
armed at all points; and we, nation of
chronic political GROWERS, set apart and con-
'ecrated to work of regeneration, isolated,
Independent, possessing within ourselves all
hat is pheasant to the sight and good for
'ood;" with system of government adapted
10 our population, and population educated,
rec and energetic: school system which
should be our pride and care as it is our
blessing; beyond the reach of foreign forces or
oregn interference; andyet we are not happy
# law could be passed compelling every citi-
zen to spend year In Europe, earning his
own living, or exiting from stated period our
,rowlers; we should have the happiest popu-
Ition on the face of the earth The lesson
earned abroad, would give them such an ap-
,reciation Of our own land as to forever shut
heir mouths But we are creatures of
hange always looking for something better,
nd in the search leaving the good too often
behind.
