EnIroE TINES Your reply to the Board or
Trade Union WIS most excellent exposure
o: the weakness Of their position. and they
should thank you for drawing it as mildly as
You did. Some people think you snid every.
thing that cond hc said in their favor, and rave
them every advantage Of the doubt All you
said we think is truc an. most of it a matter of
record, which we have no doubt you arc able TO
SuhStanti"'c. We are ;nly surprised that bust
ness men should have the CHECK" TO arrcor
II print with so poor n Sowing. They are
certainly ignorant of what their ncighbors arc
doing. The increase uf wealth i'm ten wears
according to the sta emcnt of the Board of Trade
is GiS per cent. That would erect very Door
