SIKH Wins Success.

Agriculture never pays where 1t owes
nothing He who has T. low opinion of it's
profits is generally poor farmer. He
judges by his own want of success, which
he does hot get because he fails to deser ye
it. 11icre may be fewer "honanzaS" in
soil tillage than In mining but there is far
more 'l,hy dirt" 1t is COMMON to discuss
this question of net returns without con-
sider;ation of differences in industry, eff
cieucy, economy in all the processes OF
rural labor, Judgment constantly exer-
cised in avoidance OF errors which are
simply losses and taste and tact in pre-
pairing products for market and securing
prices in accordance with quality. These
differences are forgotten in the .esotish
which assumes q knowledge OF practical
agriculture unsurpassed by that oi any
neighbour and yet there is not Il region in
the country which does not display them
with their inevitable result----high success
here, ii fair return for work there, bare
Subsistence i'll t:lertsquarters, and in too
many cases. hard: scratching for a liv-
i;;g. Reasons enough are: assigned for
such disparity, but seldom the true causes.
A common one is q begging OF the question
by GeptecatiEg absence of capital, a want
of money--an impecuniousness resulting

The eight hour labor movement has
attracted the greatest public attention
this week. Last Saturday was the day
fixed by the labor organizations for it to.
60 into force, and shops and facories III
all parts of the country have been closed.
In some localities the demand of the Ia.
borers was compliedwith in somep]aces
compromises We're effected, but generally
the question remains unsettled The
demand is generally for eight hours
work forsthe same pay: as was received
for ten hours. work. It most effects the
building trades, as many cohtrac tors had
aiken jobs with the expectation that the
rules and wages of laborers would not
change, >and they are now unable to com
plete buildings at the expected cost.
The trouble extends to all Of the large
cities, including St. Paul and Minneapo.
lis. Owing to the presence of q large
socialistic or communistic element in
Chicago, what was intended to be a quiet
attempt of laborevs to benefit their con
dition has resulted in great riots, with
socialistic mob in the lead. Speakers
are continually urging the idle popula-
tion to take up arms, and many Of the
ignorant Bohemians and Poles taking
their advice. On Tuesday evening q
body of over 100 police attempted to dis
perse Of . large mob Of these anarchists.
Dynamite bombs were thrown among the
policemen and over twenty were killed
and wounded. a small sized battle then
occurred, both sides being well armed
with reyolvers, finally resulting il the
defeat Of The rioters. ore trouble is
