But this is only for one day. According to
the best calculations for the past several weeks,
though many strikes have been settled, vet new
ones have taken place, making the total number
of men on strike nearly the same. The estimate
of the loss for one week is, therefore, not amss
Six days at 5000, 900 per dav is 81, 300 000-one
million two hundred Thousand dollars.
AS to the loss to the corporations whose en-
ployes have struck and the destruction of prop
erty; the damages to various sections of the coun-
try, seriously injured in many ways by the
strikes, and as to the shrinkage caused thereby
in the values of securities. it ia impossible to
form anything like an accurate estimate. That
it would amount 10 millions of dollars in actual
money value is beyond doubt.
Another result of the strikes has been to keep
many workingmen out OF employment, because
of fear intimidation or the crippling of mills or
industries so that they need less help. John
Swinton estimates the number OF unemployed
workmen in this city to be between 90, 600 and
IS 900; in Chicago, 40. 900; on the Pacific coast.
between 80, 900 and $4,000, in the entire country,
all told, nearly 100000. This is including all
industrial and skilled vocations, as well as agri-
culture He says that there are 300 trades
unions in this city alone, and 100, 600 organized
work ngmen.
f. B. Thurber in his talk with the reporter,
said that he believed that the strikes would not
continue. He believed that the workingmen had
too much sense to allow it when they once saw
how disastrous was the result. He regarded the
present Third avenue road strike great mis-
take. 1t was learned that over S., 900 week is

the strikes: ut is q great mistake to strike at

manufacturers can stand it. But whatever the
time may be. the workingman has got to learn

self for two months past, in more or less
in angry meetings of shareholders, has
lately eliminated in a storm. on the gen.
eral meeting of the Powder River com
pany, and in the appointment, by the
shareholders, of committee of investi
cation. The time has, therefore, arrived,
when the whole position of this busine
requires careful consideration.
The English interest in ranch companies
is interested by very large sum OF
money. 1t was calculated by the Econ
omist that in 1881 and 1882 not less than
eS,OOO,000 sterling had been sent west to
buy cattle and ranches, and the present
business depression in Dundee Is, we be-
lieve. to great extent the result OF over
speculation in western cattle. AT the
meeting of the Powder River company
mud was thrown freely by the directors at
the manager, and by the manager at the
directors. The efficiency of board com
posed of lords and lawyers, when dealing
with property on the prairles, Is hkely
to vary in inverse ratio to their ACTIVITY
and self-assertion.
| 1t appears to us, however, that the price
paid for cattle in 1882 was higher than
was justified by the average price of beer,
and if this is so cattle properties cannot
be expected to pay dividends till the herds
have by their own powers of breeding
doubled themselves. And it is probable
that the day for these vast herds of cattle,
running into hundreds of thousands, and
scattered over hundreds of square miles
has gone by, and with it the prospects OF
safe and profitable production on this
gigantic scale. The past profits of the
industry were unquestionably very great
and the fortunes of the cattle kings, such
as Ilif, of Colorado, King, of Texas, and
Adair, of the Palo Duoro, were deemed a.
phenomenal, even by the community sc
prosperous as the Americans But thu
kings seem to have stepped down and out
and their thrones are now filled, but very
inadequately, by titled, and for the mos
part, entirely incompetent directors.
