THE GREAT LABOR QUESTION.
FRIENDS OF THE CLUB: On the new question be-
fore the Club Resolved, That inventions are
beneflt to the IaDoTIug Classes, Andrew ma!ltiran
speaks of the value of inventions relating to farm
ing implements, the thrasing machine for instance.
Certainly 1t Is labor-saving machine but not
benefit TO labor. 1t used to take one man day 10
thrash out fifteen bushels of grain with n fail.
Now. with the aid of machine, 100 bushels can be
thrashed, as much as seven men could do. What are
the other seven laborers TO do? Take the self
binder and reaper for instance that takes the place
OF 10 laborers; what those 10 laburers onow?
Boys of the Club think this question worthy of
looking up. Ii is the best question yet presented
for boys and worthy THE TRIBUNE, which Is the
last paper we could do wtliout.-Wm. Lloyd, Hart
