The desire manifested by the Working
men to abolish the contract system of
prison labor is q curious illustration of I'M
intelligent persistence. The belief on which
it rests is, that if the contract system is
done away with, the products of convict
labor will not enter into competition with
the products of free labor. But this idea
is fallacious. 1t can make no difference to
free labor whether the State or the con-
tractors employ the convicts. In either
case the things they make viii be put in
competition with free labor The State
must use every effort to make the prisons
self-supporting, and to do this all that the
convicts produce must be sold at the high
est market rates. There is in fact no
way in which free labor can be relieved
from the necessity OF supporting convict
labor, for if the convicts were not
permitted to work at all the only result
would be to increase taxation, and so the
people would have to pay everything. Il
convicts are employed in any kind of mar.
ketable production they will come in con.
tact with free labor, and to the extent
that penal labor is the cheaper they will
help to keep down the earnings Of free
men. This is fact which the Sand Lot
appears to have missed hitherto, though it
is almost selfevident. The contract sys-
TEN has undoubtedly many serious defects,
and it has been abolished in several States
with good results. But it never was
responsible for the competition Of which
the Workingmen complain, that COM
petition being inseparable from any
scheme of convict labor 1t must also
be pointed out that unless great care
is taken in making the change, and
unless the responsible prison authorities
are given such control of the matter as to
make them accountable, there is great
danger that there will be waste and ex-
travagance under the new system, and
that the attempt to make the prisons
self-sdpporting will prove failure. For
this reason nothing should be done in
haste. The Board will have time, after
having ascertained the existing state of
affairs, to draft whatever legislation is
needed for the carrying out of their du-
ties, and the Board is the only body which
can now be looked to for an intelligent and
comprehensive scheme of prison manage
ment. As to the proposed extension of
the prohibition of contract labor to county
jails, it is irrelevant. and ought not to be
assented to.

THE CONTRACT SYSTEM CT PRISON
LABOR

The new Constitution provides that
+" after the first day of January, 1882, the
"labor Of convicts shall not be let out by
contract to any person, copartnership,
company, or corporation, and the Legis-
''lature shall, by law, provide for the
working of the convicts for the benefit
''of the State" The clear Interpretation
of this is that the contract system shall not
be discontinued until 1852, but bill has
beenintroduced in the Assembly prohibiting
the employment of prisoners by contract,
not merely in the State Prisons, but in
County Jails and all other places of con.
fnement. The bill provides that no
prisoners shall be employed excent by the
State or county. In the case of County
Jails this would practically prevent the
employment OF prisoners in any way, since
it involves the expenditure by the counties
of large sums for plant wherewith
to employ them. In the case of
the State Prisons it is useless to
enact such law unless an appropria-
tion is at the same time made for furnish
ing the requisite machinery. 1t must be
realized that under the new Constitution
the State is compelled to employ the con-
victs, and that this change implies embark
alton in an extensive manufacturing bust
ness, or in several businesses To carry
out this scheme the expenditure of consid.
cradle capital is necessary, and it will also
necessitate the employment of large staff
of managers, guards and overseers. The
fact, stated by Governor Irwin in his last
message, that the adoption OF the new Con-
stitution has already virtually broken up
the contract system, may appear to justify
the present passage of such law as has
been introduced, but it must be evident to
all who have examined the subject
that a mere prohibition of contract labor
could produce no other effect than to rele-
gate all the convicts to state of absolute
inactivity. 1t is not enough to say that
the State shall henceforth employ them.
The means of employing them must be
provided, and it will be very difficult to
do anything in this direction without
reference to the theory of prison manage
ment contemplated by the Board of Prison
Directors. In fact ali legislation of this
kind ought to come from them, and the
Legislature should not embarrass them or
interfere with their plans of reform by
hastily adopting measures which may prove
to be quite incompatible with their inten-
tons. The question of employment is
bound up with that of admins ration, and
since the latter has been committed to the
Board. all cognate subjects should also be
| left TO their initiation
