The system of genteel beg

thing or another. The constant
cry is give! give !! give y! until
it takes all the patience which
humanity can summon to keep
down the desire to send the ap-

Bob Ingersoll has banished from

THE Low WAGES "BooM."

The collection and publication of labor
statistics has become the special work of
a number of commissions appointed by
various State governments which, dur.
ing the last two or three years, have pre-
pared some interesting and valuable re
ports. But there reports seldom stop
with the plain recital of statistics and
comparisons. They are often supple
mented by shrewdly worded essays on
the folly of discontentment and strikes
among workmen, the wasteful extrsva.
ganCe of their methods of living, habits
Of drinking, and the high wages they rer
Ceive when the cost of subsistence is
considered, compared with some period
beforethe war. The publication and dis.
tribution of these reports annually at
public expense. is supposed to be for the
edi6Catlon of both employer and EN-.
ployed, without endeavoring to disturb
the relations that exist between them,
/. O., without making an official effort to
change rate of wages or systems Of EN-.
ployment. We notije, however, that
many of these reports seem to be pre-.
pared expressly to impress upon work.

wages, or working more hours, and living

Of the comforts and conveniences they
now enjoy.
Whether the Issuing of such literature
is legitimate use of the public money,
must be left to the electors Of each State
(of which workingmen constitute about
four.6fths), but when the same kind of
printed matter, aiming at the same OBJ.
jpct, is sent out by department of the
United States Government, it becomes
the duty of the press and the public to
give it critical review.

countries where wages are very low, it is
