LABOR Us. PRODUCTION.

An able article appears IN Brad
streets on the subject of the hours
of labor from tho pen OF that great
political economist, Mr.. Edward
Atkinson, In which he. opposes
any compulsory eight hour law,
for the reason that eight hours
work day would be insufficient
to properly clothe, feed and house
the people of this country. For
the past six years the general
average has been 10 and :: halihours
a day, yielding little moro than
the. necessities for the present po-
pulation; but the general work was
never easier and the hours of labor
never less for any previous gener-
atoms. The difference in the con-
sumption of food and clothing be-
tween the rich and the poor, Mr..
Atkinson claims, is much smaller
than generally supposed, while the
consumption of luxuries is infntis-
imal as compared to the whole. He
takes 1880 as an average year, be-
ing the most prosperous, with
fewer people out of employment,
and the product was S70O,OOO,OOO
moro than we consumed, cquivR-
lent to the product Of 100000 or
], 100000 persons engaged in agri-
culture and 10000 to 100000 in
manufactures or mechanical en-
ployment. From 9 to 10 per cent
of these products were exported in
exchange for necessities produced
only IN foreign countries; only 81
per 800 of foreign imports being
styled as luxuries, while only 50
per 800 of our total consumption
could be classed as such. The
liquor bills of the country, Mr.. AT
kins contends, cost 1t three or four
times as much as the Injuries OF
the rich. Abolish the luxuries and
at least ten hours labor q day will
be required to meet the standard of
necessity and comfort. The de-
structlve influences of the late
civil war has required excessive
labor to replace the damage done.
Production is increasing more
rapidly than wealth or population;
mechanics and factory hands get
25 per cent better wages than In
1885, while the principal articles
of general consumption average so
per cent less therefore this IN
creased production of itself will
necessarily shorten the hours of
labor, for while the demands ofthe
population for necessities are on
the increase, the means of supply
ing them is increasing also, which
cs.n but eventually decrease the
hours of labor.

An inoxplicable phenomenon
came TO light at the residence oil
Mrs. Margaret Wetzler, in Louis

she lost a young daughter of whom
she had never had a picture taken.
On January II, her son-in-law
came down from Cincinnati on a
visit and occupied q spare room.
When he left, a bowl and pitcher
of water remained undisturbed,
there being no one but the old lady
to take care of tho house. Going
in TO remove the article Saturday,
she poured out the water, and was
transtixed with astonishment to
find tho face of her long lost
daughter depicted on the bottom
of the pitcher. The likeness she
declares perfect. The face was
surrounded with wreath of
flowers. Hundreds of people have
been to see the phenomenon, which
Mrs. Wstzler declares to be Goods
own work. She is an intelligent

TWELVE thousand people with
banners, flags, etc., assembled at
Union square, New York on Satur-
day evening and hurrahed for the
eight hour system. They were
workingmen representing all the
trade organizations. Speeches
were made by several agitators
and the crowd shouted itselfhoarse
John SwInton, who ought TO know
better said: "This town is now
under a reign of terror by prosti-
tute judiciary and rotten monop-
oily" Beyond the speeches the
crowd was perfectly orderly. A
very large majority ofthe working
people of this country have no con-
sheraton whatever for tho we'll
fare of their employers, and would
if they could take a full days pay
for two hours work. 1t is safe to
say that if the eight hour move
ment should prove to be generally
successful it will not be long before
another movement is made to re-
duce a days work to six hours.
Men arc so constructed that they
can endure great deal of rest.
