THE LABOR DEMONSTRATION.
Fine Display of wOrkInEmen In New
 York on Monday.

The workingmen's parade in New York city on Monday was a great success. By unsni- nous consent Typographical Union No. and all branches of the printing trade had the right of line in the procession.
 The first division consisted of the building trades. The second division of all unions en- gagged in the cigar, furniture and clothing trades. The third division of butchers, coopers and other trade and labor organizations.
 Many branches of industry exhibited their handiwork from large trucks as they went through the streets. For instance, the box makers had nine wagons in line, and in the wagons men were as busily begging away as though they were earning days wages. There were relays of men to take the places of those who worked for while, so that no man was obliged to put in 'full time" The cigar makers had two large wagons, in which one hundred men were at work making Havanas and domestics. The most interesting part of this exhibition was that as the cigars were made they were passed out to the crowds that watched the procession. Two thousand men were in line with the cigarmakers. The bricklayers paraded 1,500 strong, but did not lay any bricks. The clothing cutters had 900 men in line, and cut clothes in 8 couple of wagons. The house painters showed at least twelve hundred men. The horse shoers' Union had ,000 men out. Large dele gations of workingmen from out ot the city took part in the procession.

 About 150 of the laborers carried hods filled with brick and mortar.
 The Wendell Phillips OrganiZa ton No. oi colored men had the right of the second division. They include all colored working men and had nearly 1000 men in line.
 The glass workers, of whom there were large numbers in line, piled their industry on three wagons.
 Some of the larger banners portrayed with all the vividness of the sign painters art the condition of the laboring man to-day as the labor organizations see it. One of them rep resented the unorganized workman sitting dis consolate, lean, and hungry over frelest grate, with his wife and children starv ing around him. The organized workman on the other side of the screen was laughing, with fat and healthy children around cheerful fire, while the prosperous wife was in the act of dismissing the grocer boy. Another one pictured 8 man bearing { striking resemblance to Jay Gould riding or the back of 6 tottering workingman whC could only rid himself of his load by one ot two means-"Ballot" or "ReYolution." Stil another pictured the Southern slave driver standing over his crouching victim with thC cruel lash and compared it with the Northern mill owner keeping his eye on the clock anc forcing woman to sit at loom for IA hours Some of the lettered placards the labor meI | evidently thought very apt, for they repeated them over and over again. Here are few oi | them:
 An Injury to One is the Concern of all Labor is Noble and Holy. Fair Wages for Fair Work. Capitalists are Thoroughly Organized. Why not Labor Cheap Labor Don't Pay. No More Convict Labor. Workingmen Can Vote. Down With Tenement House Labor. NUs Ufa1G With You.
