enceS between pne employers anu Tile eIl-
ployes in furniture manufacturing will
speedily be adjusted. 1t believes the ques-
ton between the laborer and the manu-
facturer is substantially one of time. 1t
asks Is the time for an advance in prices
of furniture and labor now? That is the
question of the hour. We may venture to
say to the employers that it would be the
part of wisdom in them to remember that
the later years have been dreary ones to
men on lowered wages, learning in
their own homes the hard lessons
of pinching economy, and that it
is entirely reasonable the laborer
should be eager to realize a little of the sum
shine of business in bright gold. And we
would say to the workingmen that those
who have had the largest interests have not
had the least anxieties during the lean
| years-that many stately house, repre-
sentng large capital, has been operated ab-
solutely without pro @often even at
loss-all the money gv.ng i'll wages and for
materials, the employers finding them
selves steadily month after month, grow
ing poorer The merits of this case, as we
have said we do not propose to dwell upon
but we believe really intelligent jury
might ascertain the equities in short ses-
siOn and rendera decision so manifestly just
that it would command the respectful at
tention and acquiescence of both parties
After several years of political investigation
Ex-Governor Hendricks has reached the
conclusion that the return of prosperity in
this untry is due to the practice of rigid
domestic economy since 1873, and diligent
industry on the part of the people. 1t has
taken this statesman long time to find a
conclusion that might have been reached
by study of past human experience.
The Enquirer quotes the latest returns
from the recent election in California for
Governor as follows: Republican, 65,-
900; Democratic, $4,000; Working
men, $4,000. 1t will be seen that
the Republicans are in minority of %, 600.
Suppose the Democratic and Workingmen's
parties combine next year on the Presl-
dency, each having three candidates on the
same Electoral ticket, where would the
