reason of his better living and consequent
greater slertness is able to produce so much
more in week than his competitors that
America controls the markets Of the world.
Another proof OF the principle both sides are
slow TO learn, that the interests of employer
and employed are Identical. Along with tho
increase OF wages, and their purchasing
power has also gone the decrease of
the hours of days work. II
has been discovered that there
is normal days length in the different
branches of labor, at which the workman can
do his best. Here again employers and work
men have a common interest aud the number
of hours for days work is strictly a matter
for scientific investigation. Not only has the
wealth of the world vastly increased. but on
the whole, IL has become more widely diff
fused. Griffin shows that there were ten
times as many depositors I'm savings banks in
1880 rs in $780, and while the number of es-
tates admitted To probate had doubled in the
same period, their value on the average was
but 10 per cent. greater.
In this country conditions OF life have been
and still are so free that the utmost emphasis
is placed on all economic virtues. Most of
the rich men of our time were once very

into tue prODem OF LABOR oy inc large num-

For example: The thought prevalent among
American girls that kitchen work is degrad-
ing, has put domestic service i'm the hands
of foreigners. The same fact has operated
without any combination or labor union
whatever TO so far raise the the wages that
the majority of servant girls have, liter
ally, more money TO spend than their mis-
tresses The diffusion of wealth may also
be shown in the longer average life which is
now possible for the race. Whereas 80 years
used to be the average for the civilized man,
it has now come TO be about AZ years for
man and 45 years for women. The spread of
knowledge, popular education, above all pop
ular suffrage, and the rise of the democracy
promise the emancipation of the working
man, if he will be intelligent, law-abiding, self
controlled and virtuous. Let him send DEM

RISE OF THE wORKINGMAN.
Abstract of the Rev. 3. G.. Smiths
Sermon Last Evening.

Dr. S. G. Smith, pastor of the First
Methodist church. preached last evening to
a very large audience on the Rise and
Progress of the Workingman. At one time
during the sermon a murmur of applause
went through the audience and the clap
ping of hands was heard, which is at
least an unusual occurrence in Methodist
church. DIR. Smith took no text from
scripture. Following is an abstract of his
remarks:
In any adequate sense the world has only
learned to live within the last century. We
may easily affirm that the progress of
the world during that time has surpassed all
the rest of the ages in everything that rel ates
to physical comfort The average American
house is q FAR more pleasant place 10 cat and
sleep than the palace of Charlemange or the
boudor of Marie Antoinette. Modern com
forts are so commonplace that we not only
underestimate, we even complain of them.
This lightning, steam, machine era has made
the luXuries of the past seem but buds,
which for the first time have bios
somed out into the ordinary life of the
common people. The anarchist and
Socialist would have us believe that the
fruits of this progress have been confined to
O favored few, who yearly become richer,
while the poor become poorer. The great
need Of the present veXing problems of labor
and society is a knowledge of the facts. The
science of statistics is of recent birth, and
even the most elaborate compilations must be
treated skeptically because they fail TO
properly account for modifying circum-
stances. At the present time it is simply i'm
possible for any partisan on either side to
bring forth a complete solution of the Difficult
ties which Cypress us, because no man in any
country has yet collected sufficient facts to
establish any theory. We are on the edge of
far better times for both labor and
capilal, but no man can yet pre-
dict the precise form of the solution
In this country, at any rate, whenever it can
clearly be shown what ought to be done, ]
have faith to believe that the people will do it
On the line Of the
INCREASE OF WAGES
great principle has been established, name
~: that higher wages and better living are
an actual saving to the employer as well as
source of comfort TO the laborer. Thoenhoi
has shown that in the cotton industries OF
America, England and Germany, the amount
of cost per yard is precisely the reverse from
what would be expected from the price OF
labor per week. The American Is paid better
than the Englishman, and the Englshman
better than the German. but the American by

circus gave its last performance in ST. Paul
for the benefit of the cyclone sufferers.
Mr.. Harris has good show and his action
in leaving the city will only tend TO

performance was fully up to those that have

only medium. AT the close of the per-

Mr.. Harris will leave to-day with his circus
for Minneapolis, where he will remain a

The Socialistic Labor party met at
Turner hall yesterday afternoon. The cir
culars announced mass meeting, and TO
the call some less than 100 responded, in
Guiding half a dozen ladies. An address
in English was delivered by Otto Haese,
the substance of which was afterward en-
braced i'm a series of declarations presented
by the speaker and adopted by the meeting.
The resolutions discussed the high license
question somewhat, expressing a belief
that the excessive use of stimulants is not
the cause, but the effect of a system of
society whose sole motive power is self
interest, and whose only regulator is com

small salOon-keepeTs would be crushed
out of society. The resolutions recite that
prohibition does not prohibit, and if it did
it would be more tyrannical and worse than
all the evils which are claimed to take rise
from the use of Intoxicating liquors." be-
cause, where light drinks cannot be had,
whisky will be substituted. and where
the latter cannot be had the use of p0isons
like opium and morphine will take its
place" In accordance with these ideas the
resolutions recommended:
First-Free trade in drinks as q cure for
drunkenness.
Second-Severe punishment for adultera-
| tons Of liquors and the destruction of all
adulterated goods.
Third-Manly self-control to protect family
relations and public morals.
To bring about these results two things
will be necessary says the resolutions in
closing. namely, to less Over-work and
strain the energies of the working man,
and better food and shelter for them.

STREET SAYINGS.

Said an old acquaintance of the late
Joseph Robert:
Mr.. Joseph Robert spoke five languages be-
sides the French and English. He was a
French creole and not a French-C Canadian as
has been enormously stated about his
brother, Mr.. Louis Robert. Their people
since great many generations back having
been born and reared in South America.
They come of an old and very respectable
family, the well-known and highly esteemed
Judge Primm of St. Louis, now deceased, be-
ing cousin. Judge Primm's family, as well
as himself, were noted for their accomplish
ments as talented musicians and singers.

Speaking of the card of Mr.. H. p. Hall
published yesterday morning, in which he
announced his withdrawal from his posi-
ton as candidate for city treasurer, City
Comptroller Roche said yesterday: Per
haps he is disappointed in his aspirations.
l don't think he has any just reason for
what he says. As far as / am concerned
have never been connected with any ring,
and did not know there was one. 1 have
been in the city government for many
years, but never in politics. / never was
in caucus; the nominations have all come
to me unsought. / have discharged the
duties of my Office regardless of the
feelings of men or party. Politics
never entered my Office. Mr.. Hall is ms
taken about Mr.. Refs. BE is only serving
his second term. He was deputy under the
two preceding treasurers, both upright men.
During all that time anybody in the city
government knows there has been no poll
tics iE my Office, and Hall knows it, al
though his insinuations are peculiar. In
situations are not honest. Tbnsa remarks
