Many vheelmen had been blown up,
but everyone was It once replaced BY

4 man named Progress now led the
reformers. He said to them:
1--WE haYe taken the wrong course.
Our troubles are due to darkness; we
cannot blow up darkness with dynamite.

cause few oppressoss we're blown up"
"We will give your light trial" said
Progress, 'sand assist you in applying !"
The work was begun, and large lights
called Science were placed at proper in
tervals over the dark world. A portion
of the inhabitants saw it, and the lighted
territory was soon so crowded that the
work had to be pushed with greater en-
ergy. The eyes of some were almost use
less. They would not believe any light
existed.
The light enabled men to lay t.lines
ofcommercial traffic. Along these the
people arranged their Industries in con-
venient order, and exchanges were easily
made Wheelnen could not keep the

Gently visited one of its manufacturing
cities after twenty years absence, can
assure you.
The tendency Of capital to lessen its
costs Of production by depressing the
wages of labor to the lowest point con-
sistent with the power to work had been
recognized in theory before it had be-
come 9 general fact in practice. Hepce
arguments like the Marquis of Clanric-
arde,s, one of the earliest advocates OF
repeal IF corn becomes cheaper wages
viii undoubtedly fall, but if the work
men for q certain sum can get larger
supply of food and clothing than before,
his condition will be bettered.
Mr.. Golden found no occasion for any
such allowances Against the hypothe-
sis that the price Of bread regulating
wages he adduced the fact that during
the last three years since '39 bread had
been higher and at the same time wages
lower than for twenty years previous
Reasoning from these premises, he urged
that the repeal Of the tariff would in
crease trade. and this in turn increase
demand for labor, thereby raising its
price in wages and its buying power.
Conversely he argued, that high prices
resulting from prosperity may be per-
manent, whereas when resulting from
scarcity they must be precarious. because
poverty cannot buy. Restricted markets,
lower wages, by lessening demand for
goods, and low wages restrict command
of labor over bread.
But the logic Of facts which at that
time and subsequently formed Mr.. Cob
denis reasoning has been evaded by the
importation Of cheap labor from Europe
and Asia into the United States. The
benefits moreover, of increased activity
in trade and manufactures are relative
to the objects on which it is employed,
and Immediate rise of prices is no critic
rion of this benefit or of a solid pros
perity.
Commerce complicates the relations
between production and consumption
and palllates by exchange between coun-
tries the evils resulting from exclusive
production of mere luxuries by any one.
But foreign commerce is a more pre-
carious source of subsistence than native
production, and the laborer has better
chances in country where the staples
are grains, fruits and textile fabrics of
the coarser sort, with, metallic of the
baser, thanin one that depends on the
sale of it's laces and satins and jewelry.
Finally the selfish procliyity of capital
to depress wages, if not to be denied is
not on the other hand to be too much
regretted, since it is wis a tergo"
making men feel that as wage laborers
their position is a false one to which
neither Nature nor Society owe pity.
Let them make haste to get out of that
and ceasing to ask grapes of thorn bushes
and figs of thistles attach themselves to
the saving principle of cooperative asso-
citation. ,EDaEwoRTH.
