A Model Paper.

The Baltimore Sun Is q model daily
newspaper, o fact 30 well known by the
public that 1t employs neither Canvass
ers nor advertising agents. 1t is no
small cause for congratulation that all
its advertisements are voluntarily
brought or mailed to the Office by those
wishing to advertise, or by their repre-
eentatives. The Sun, in an article on
the 4th instant, referring to its success,
says that during the past fall, winter
and spring the continuous demands
upon its columns have been extraordi-
nary, necessitating within the 1875 days
of publication from October l, 1885, tC
May 4, 1886, inclusive, the Issue Of nc
less than 121 supplements. On Satur
day last the number OF separate adver-
tisemeuts in the Sun was ], 069, con-
tanned In 3O15 columns, and on Monday
there were 1888 separate advertisements
contained In 1919 columns, leaving il
each issue over seventeen columns TO-
the news of the day, all of which wa
set forth in ample form and graphic
style. With circulation larger thar
that OF all the other city morning
dailies com bined, won by its adherence
to straightfor ward business principle
and its acknowledged thoroughness ant
reliability as q newspaper, 1t need no
be surprising that such evidences O
popular appreciation should thus embel
tsh the course Of the Sun.

The Boycott.

There has been such Q great discre-
penney between the Knights OF Labor
and capital that sll the differences
cannot expect to be adjusted at once
and without difficulty, and there 10 O.
probability that organized labor reform
may be pushed little too fast and too
far to accomplish Its object. There
are but few industrial establishments
where labor Is hired In which there
does not exist some feature that would
better be eradicated, but to accomplish
shat object would require such changes
Is would for the time, and possibly for
o long time afterwards, be an injury TO
ali parties concerned.
OF late years the boycott, as weapon
Of defence to labor, has been employed.
1t is q weapon that requires very judi
cious handling, and there is no doubt
that 1t has been used arbitrarily and
unjustifiAbly In numerous instances.
There are cases where the boycott alone
was the instrument Of bringing about
terms Of Cancellation, and these In
stances were where labor had been
very much imposed upon and abused.
For instance, street railway companies
that enforced from fourteen to eighteen
hours labor from their employees, and
incorporated monopolies that have
been In the habit of sending to Europe
TO import cheap labor and employ
penitentiary convicts, deserve the
strongest kind Of boycotting, and as
long as this mode Of correcting exist
ing evils is confined to these palpablt
violators Of human rights, an apprecia-
tive public looks on and enjoys thu
sight.
But the Boycott has, in many in
stances, gone too far. 1t has progressed
beyond Its popularity, or in othe
words 1t has travelled 30 fast that al
appreciative public halts In Its sup
port. When this is the case, 1t iDjure
the cause of labor. All over tn
country assemblies Of Knights of Labo
are condemRing the excuses to which
the boycott has been carried, and VI
have no doubt that the order will sool
no control it that 1t will not be used ex
Dept in the most fragrant cases OF abus

UPPER MACUNGIE, Lehigh County,
Pa, is q place that needs the attention
OF the Knights Of Labor or some organi-
cation that has the power OF increasing
wages. A despatch says the miners
there have struck for an increase of ten
per cent. They have been getting 70
cents per day. The increase asked for
will give them n cents. Upper Ma.
cungie must have q patient, long suffer
ing set OF miners who pat up with 70
cents per day as long as they have, and
will be satisfied with n cents.
But here comes another despatch
from Reading, Pa, that 500 iron ore
miners along the East Pennsylvania
Railroad, who have been idle, have been
reemployed at an advance Of from 8 to
~ per cent. They had been getting 80
cents per day. But this small raise in
wages is Offset by the news that they
will work from twelve to fourteen
hours. Only think of this, men Of
capital, men OF labor, ali! Is this moi
q blur and shame upon the humanity
and civilization OF the age? Yet II
these poor fellows would combine tt
demand a fair share Of the profits o.
their labor, and stop all operation
until their demands were compile,
with, what howl would go up frou
monopolized industry all over tn
country.

Were 1t not for the labor troubles
that now agitate the country, the pres
emit would have been good year of
trade and prosperity. As 1. is, business
Of nearly all descriptions shows graft
flying increase in volume over last year.
Just at present considerable uncertainty
exists as to the outcome Of trade. In
the iron trade. nails have declined 10
cents per keg; bar iron, 81 and ~ per
ton, and steel rails are weaker. Rail-
road construction 80 far this year foots
mp 600 miles, as against $40 miles at the
same time last year. The pig iron pro-
duction is over 80, 900 tons ahead Of this
time last year, and stocks are light.
The anthracite coal trade is very active,
and employers are hopeful that the
threatened strike will not take place
for some weeks to come. Bituminous
coal is scarce and dear In Eastern mar
kets, and the demand for coke has in
creased from 10000 to $4,000 tons pei

Two business men were conversing the
other day in our hearing aud their con-
versation was 30 interesting and 1t con-
tanned 30 much sound advice to every
young man starting in life, that we
give the substance In order that the
you DC man who may chance 70 read
this may act upon 1t. The father was
relating how his had accepted a position
in New York and his going TO tho city
some weeks after to see how his boy was
doing. He questioned the lad as 10 his
habits and companions. He asked him
what time he was through work every
day and then said:
"There Is only one thing 1 want to
give you advice upon and that is when
Eve O'Clock comes, instead of putting
on your hat and walking out as the
others do, see If you cannot assist those
who are above you in order to familiar
ize yourself with their work, so that in
case of sickness or any other event you
will stand chance of promotion" The
young man acted upon his fathers ad-
vice. Many night he missed his sup
per in order to do work that belonged
TO some other clerk. The janitor re.
Iported the fact to his superiors Of how
the young man was working and they
in turn kept close watch upon him.
lSoon he WAS promoted, and he was kept
IgOing from one position TO another
until now he holds one of the most re-
Isponsible and lucrative positions In the
concern. He has mastered all the in :
J tricate details Of the whole business,
and all perplexing ques IONS are re-
ferred to him for settlement. He enjoys
, the confidence Of those above him az
|, those under him.
To day in that place he sees those
. with whom he started occupying theiI
= old positions and when i've O'Clock
! comes as usual, they take their hats
and march out. What this young mar
accomplished Is within the grasp OF
levery man In this country. Eight
:, hours may constitute legal day L
n work, but II young man is going Il
l. succeed in this world; If he is going Il
2 make name and reputation, no leRis
= lature can pass law that shall tel
:, him just how long he must work. NJ
a labor will be burdenBome to him, anC
II he is called upon to do over-work, hI
VI will do 1t without grumbling. Thes
'- are the boys who make our successful
r business men; these are the boys VIII
o have the confidence in the advice tina
d their fathers give who have been triet
and not found wanting in this world.
hi But where boy is found will ng t.
"a take and act upon such advice ninety
= nine think they manage their owl
. affairs without the Intervention of oil
fogies. Then when 1t is TOO late W
Q hear of the injustice of men; the pal
" TALLY of employers, ETC., when th
n whole matter has been left entirel
vi with the boy himself. Don't be afrai
n of work boys, and above all, don't
,fl afraid of doing work that does not b.
It leng to your position. Whatever you q
- will be recognized and in due seaso
/. the reward will come to you.
