Careful calculations made by Brad
streets show that the aggregate losses
due directly to the recent strikes amount
TO the enormous sum of $4,000, coo. 1t is
probable that these figures are below
rather than above the truth. In three
weeks $50, 900 strikes sacrificed $3,O00,000
in wages. Employers through inter-
ruptiOEs to their business lost $2,500,000.
For deferred or Cancelled miscellaneous
and Industrial contracts 81, 400, 900 was
lost, and $40, 400, 900 was lost in ten of the
principal cities of the country through
the cancellation and postponement Of
business contracts.
There is hardly a branch of business
that has not suffered to some extent on
account Of the strikes, and some branches
ina number of localities have been almost,
If not wholly, ruined. Just before the
strikes began it was believed that the
country was about to enter upon period
of great business prosperity. The strikes
disappointed all expectations in that di-
rection. 1t may be, however, that the
period Of prosperity was only postponed
for a little while, and that later on in the
present year there will be very decided
revival in business.
The strikes are subsiding. According
to Bradstreet's there were 80, 900 strikers
on May IA, 10000 on May II and 1900 on
May 81. The eight-hour movement proved
failure, and although there will be,
doubtless. some further difficulty about it
in some localities, it is pretty safe to as
sumo that, in a few weeks, wOrkmen
throughout the country will be working
ten hours a day for ten hours pay.
In looking over the field it doesn't ap-
pear that the strikers gained a great deal.
In some localities they got an advance in
wages, but there is no certainty that this
advance will continue to be paid. Taken
as a whole, however, workmen were
great losers by the strikes. While. doubt
less, in some instances the strikes were
based on just demands, nearly all of them,
perhaps, were hastily ordered, and that,
too, before attempts to secure harmony
between employer and emplOye by arbi-
tratiOn had been made. One of the les
sons which the recent strikes teach is,
that strikes are disastrous to workmen as
well as to capitalists, and that the best
interests of wOrkmen require that they
shall never be resorted to except in the
most extreme cases.

PREACHERS IN POLITICS.
Liable to "Kinder Gin Out" like Rev
Mr.. Pitner's Calf
FROM TIE MinneaDoIis Jour

From the Minneapolis Journal.
"The Church and Politics" was the subject
OF paper read by Rev. Il. L. Chamberlain
before the city pastors meeting this morning.
If men with no firm m oral principle, said the
speaker, are often found in Office whose fault
is it if not the peoples? Chi -tian ministers
help constitute the citizen voters of this coun-
try. 1t is IN the primaries that the material
out of which governments are made Origi-
mates. The minister and the best element in
his church usually stay away from the prlma-
rles. 1t should be a moral duty with them to
go and to make their presence felt.
Rev Lyman Palmer-When the ministers
go into politics they always get seooped.
The other fellows are better politicians.
Rev. 5. V. ;. Fisher-lt is the men we preach
to that stay at home on election dav; the men
we don't preach to are always on hand. We
ought TO preach to those who do come to
church until they recognize their duties.
Rev. j. l.. Pinter-Au old New England
farmer bought calf at a sale v Inch occurred
IN town some distance from his home. The
next morning he sent his boy, provided with
rope and other necessary tackle, to lead the
calf home. Those of you who have been far
mers' boys know that the leading of a calf is
no easy job. A night the boy returned home
covered with dust, tattered and foot sore. He
dragged the rope beh nd him.

slaves of Tobaccn.

The Chicago newspapers are wondering
whether the Rev. sam Jones isn't losing
little of the grip which he Is supposed
TO have upon himself. When he was in
Chicago, trying to save souls in that sim
laden city, he was informed that the to-
bacco habit to which he was addicted was
"a stumbling block to souls" and in one
of his sermons he expressed himself as
follows:
81 want to say to this congregation that
from this day until we meetup in Heaven
you can tell this world that Sam Jones
has got no habit that is a stumbling
block to anybody. Wherever and when
ever there is a fault of mine that will
lead my soul sstray or that is a stumb-
ling block to any one, God being my
helper. il l know it, that thing shall go
down forever with me. And II there is a
spot or an inch about me that is not con-
secrated to God and humanity. say this
minute, Lord Almighty, it shall be Thine
from this moment till l die If | don't
do any good in Chicago, let Chicago thank
God Almighty she has done the poor,
little, pale, Southern preacher some good
the balance Of her life.''
This sermon was understood at the
time to mean that Mr.. Jones had given up
the habit Of smoking and chewing to-
bacco. A little while before this sermon
was delivered Mr.. Jones stated that Mr..
sam Small, his cOlaborer. had given up
the habit of smoking cigarettes.
A special from Baltimore, where Mr..
Jones and Mr.. Small are now engaged in
conducting a series OF very successful
meetings. SAYS: The Rev. sam Jones
has gone back to the weed He has
yielded to his love and longing for to-
bacco, and now smokes several cigars
daily. He quit the habit when in Chicago,
but resumed it when he went south. lie
has not said a word about tobacco since
he has been in Baltimore. Hiscoworker,
Mr.. Small, smokes cigarettes, but Mr..
Jones pubs fragrant, big and strong
Havanas. When a reporter remarked to
the evangelist that he had understood
that he had quit the use oftpbaccO in any
form, Mr.. Jones smiled, pulled a few
rings of smoke toward the ceiling. and
said something about not caring TO give
up smoking and chewing both at one
time. He also said that he did not intend
10 mention tobacco in his sermons here,
aud that he was not an enemy of the
weed"
1t is probable that both Mr.. Jones and
Mr.. Small found the tobacco habit great
deal stronger than they thought it was.
There is no reason 20 doubt that they
were both very sincere when they eN.
pressed a determination in Chicago TO
give up the tobacco habit. They are both
men of great will power, aud that they
failed TO conquer their desire for tobacco,
and that IT has conquered them again,
although they had the strongest OF rea.
