enable him to increase a hundred fold the power

Drown the BOYS.

Mrs. Swisshelm. in Pittsburg ommercal- Gazette
Some way should be devised for disposing of
the boys, for they are accommodating. En- forced
idleness among them has so swelled the rank OF
vagabOndism that philantbrOpsts are buZzing
about, like so many bees on the surface of tar
barrel. trying TO keep the useless, unoccupied
boys out of saloons and other haunts of vice.
The soft hearts of these good people do not in
spire their soft heads with the idea that an ever
lasting "Don't" is a bad rule for governing the
energy of youth. If our temperance people want
to keep the boy out of Saloons let them put
him into workshop. ''Satan finds some
mischief still for idle hands to do" Trades
unions compel tens of thousands of boys 10 re-
main idle or prevent tens of thousands irom 60
ing into occupations for which they are fitted,
shut them out from employment and leave them
choice nut idleness and its attendant vice.
Then our philanthropists band together to pat
the boy on the head and tell him to be quiet.
"Don't go here! don't go therel don't do this!
don't do that!' But what career do they open
to him2 The first thing 10 do for boy is to lind
him work, next see that he does his work. II
the American people have concluded to permit
tradessuuiOns to shut American boys out of
American workshops, there is no use praying
and powowng about saloons. They have left
no highway but the broad road open for boys
and had better drown them and be done with it,

FAILURES IN TIE SHOE BUSINESS.

The simultaneous failure of so many of the
largest and weaithiest of the shoe manufac-
tories cannot be satisfactorily accounted for
by the interlocking interests OF the business
nor by the custom of selling largely on time
nor yet by the refusal OF the banks to afford
money accommodations. As to the time
sales, there is the leas. possible deleterous in
huence in them, because the country mer-
chants never had as few outstanding ac-
counts, for there is no longer any need of re-
failing on credit and it is not even claimed
that there is any considerable failure to
make collections at maturity. Stripped of
all sophstry the bottom fact is that the man
ufacturers are unable to sell their goods at a
sufficient price to cover the cost of produc-
ton, hence these failures. The stores of the
manufacturers and OF the wholesale and re.
tail merchants to the outmost cross-road es-
adjustments are full of goods but
the customers are lacking. Why
all this, is an interesting chapter
in the science OF political economy.

IT is a marvel that no one has proposed a

further back the shoemaker was peripatetic,
going from house to house to make the
shoes of the family, from leather bought di-
rectly from the neighboring tanner by the
householder. Shoemaking was never con-
sidered very lucrative employment, yet
the man who stuck to his last came out in
the end as well off as the average of
his neighbors, and ordinarily much better
off than the men of his craft who left the
bench for the counter. A little more than
third of a century ago machinery began to
be extensively used in the manufacturing OF
shoes. This soon put store shoes" on the
market at price that began to crush out the
local shoemakers, and those that remained
were employed chiefly in mending. Shoe
making thus gave place to shoe manufactur-
ing. Encouraged by the growth of the
business, the workmen soon formed
unions" which forced up the price of labor
and consequently the price of shoes, so that,
as a matter of fact, no article OF commerce
has so nearly retained war prices as shoes.
These advancing rates, together with divers
arbitrary regulations as to apprentices and
other items of detail, were made ostensbly
as a demand of labor upon the tyrant capt.
tai, when, in fact, capital was already stag
gering under the exactions of interest and of
expensive machinery. The result could not
be immediate, but it was inevitable. Such
has been the price of shoes in the general
market that men struggling for livelihood
in the less remunerative callings of life have
taken to the bench, and small shoe shops
have again reappeared in all parts OF the
country, from which shoes of every grade,
from the coarse brogan to the ladies' slipper,
have been put upon the market as ''custom
work" and at such prices as that, consider
ing their better quality, they command the
market to an extent that the casual observer
little imagines.
Take Indiana for instance. Fifteen years
ago there was hardly shoe made within the
State. The Bureau of Statistics for 1882,
with reports from only little over half the
State, gives 867 small establishments" work
ing from two to twenty and thirty hands
each. 1t is probable, from the incomplete
data given, that there are at least fifteen hun
bred small establishments" IN Indiana,
working $1,000 hands. None of these are
pretentious. Perhaps in not one is there
any "union" that dictates wages or manage
ment, but they put their goods on the mar
ket at price that compensates the laborer,
and yet undersells the store shoes" which
had, fifteen years ago, monopolized the trade,
and this, more than any other thing, has
caused the suspensions alluded to- The man
ufacturer cannot sell his goods so as to meet
the cost of manufacture, counting interest
on capital. OF course in time these things
will adjust themselves, though it is by no
means certain that machine-work at union
prices, will ever compete successfully with
hand-work.

CORRESPONDENT of the Journal, writing of
the cemetery at Bethlehem, N. H., says:
1.-THE object which most attracts the attention

of workmanship, is the monument which marks

of the once famous railroad king, who was wont
to encounter undismayed the bulls and bears
of Wall street. On the right and left faces are
four nearly nude female figures, of life size. in a
half-sitting posture. Two of them hold in their
hands scrolls, on one OF which is inscribed the
word Railroads" on the other "Steamboats."
The whole monument is splendid piece OF
Workmanship, and possesses great merit as work
OF art, whatever may be said OF the design Itself

ments of the age the name and memory OF a
man whose virtues while living did not shine
