The Labor Question.

Governor MCLane mas submitted 4
draft of number of laws, to the Mary
land Legislature looking to the modi-
fcation of the relations between labor
ers and their employers. By them he
would legalizc Trades Unions and La
Dor organizations generally, defining
their privileges under the law and also
restricting them in the direction Of GER,
tain prerogatives that in the past they
assumed to possess.
lie would also place restriction on
the employment of women and children
beyond a certain number of hours a
day, leaving it with adult males and
youths beyond the age of eighteen to
contract for any number of hours per
day that might be desirable to them.
On its face, the suggestion looks fair
aid the eId to be obtained good one,
but, as it frequently happens in other
matters, good is so intimately concern
ell with evil, that it is not the mere
matter of a sweeping blow to the world
of things that are vicious, without at
the same time doing hurt to things that
are virtuous 1t so happens that in
many prominent industries in the
State, both sexes and all ages are en-
ployed together, the one being entirely
dependent upon the other so that with
the close of the days work on the part
Of the woman. boy or girl, necessarily
comes the close of the days work of the
man.
Now, the employee does not under
any consideration desire lessening Of
the wages received he is willing to Ia
Dor more hours, if he secures thereby
more wages and the shortening of the
day to eight hours would not serve his
purpose at all, were Lis wages to be
lessened in proportion.
1t happens further, that the employ
er rates his wares against those made
in other States, in other countries for
that matter and as labor is one of the
items in the cost, he cannot compete
with ten hours for Il dayin other States
while his employees work but eight, ex
cept he pay but eght-tenths as much
to his employees and as we have said,
this is not desirable on the part Of said
employees.
While We are ready to believe that
women and children stand in need of
some protection in the way OF shorten
ing their days work, yet we are not
able to see how such law can be made
effective in one State alone and as we
understand it, it has been adjudged be-
You'd the powers Of our National Con-
gress TO pass such law for the country
at large.
AS we see it, therefore, it would not
only be impolitic for the Maryland Leg
islature to pass such law, but that it
would, further, defeat the very object
that, professelly, it has in view, the
betterment of the condition of the la
boring classes, inasmuch as it would
destroy labor by rendering it impossi-
bic to make it remuneratlve to the em-
ployer, in competition with other To-
calities where the legal day work con-
talns a greater number Of hours, or, on
the other hand, lessons by one fifth the
daily receipts Of the laborer, taking ten
hours for the most generally adopted
length Of a working day.

TIE USUAL RESULT. 1t not to be de
MED that a good sewing machine is one of
the most important appurtcnances of the
modern household.
We thought we had a good machine in
our household until one day the agent of the
Nsdr IIome presented himself at our door
and proceeded to deliver an Grafton upon its
characteristic merit.
But" we answered, Our machine serves
us nicely and suits Us well, and we do not
care for another"
The agent, however, begged the privilege
OF leaving one of his machines with us, for
the ladies to try
The request was not unreasonable so we
granted it--hut more to obligr the agent
than anything else; for really We did not
want The machine, and had not the rcmotcst
idea of buying it.
The machine once in the house, it was nat
ural that the ladies should look it over; they
did so, and AS consequence fell in love
with it. They say that without the slight
est wish to dccry or disparagc any other
machine, this, all things considered, is in
their opinion, the most desirable one to be
had.
The rpshot of the whole matter was that
the old machine was disposed Of and the
"Ligh, Running New Home installed in
our household 1t is pronounced II genuine
beauty and a real comfort, and Our folks
wanted us to tell other folks about it.
