will the Church Solve the Problem


Father McGolrick and your correspond
ent, c. l.. L., say that the church alone can
solve this problem. Can they both tell us
where to find that church? fail to believe
that this labor question will be settled by
any power other than that which settled the
question of religious liberty, the question of
independence and the question of slavery in
this country. That power is the people, the
commonwealth, the nation. The churches
can aid the people to settle this serious
question, and help to bring about
that happy time foretold by Isaiah.
"And they shall build houses and inhabit
them; and they shall plant vineyards and
eat the fruit of them. They shall not build
and another inhabit; they shall not plant
and another eat: for as the DAYS of a tree
are the days OF my people, and mine elect
shall long enjoy the work of their hands,

WEEKLY PAY DAYS.
Plea for a Change From the
Present System.

present SYSTEM.
TO the Editor Of the Globe:
While the labor question is being so thor
Oughly agitated and the friends of labor are
fiinging themselves heart and soul into the
conflict, are they not losing sight of one of
the main points at issue? The unreason-
able length of time between pay days is and
has ever been one of the chief obstacles to
the practice of economy among the daily
tollers of our great cities. OF all the COM
plants that fall from the lips of the work
Ingman, complaints that have become the
burden of rather mournful song through
out the land, none is more frequently heard
than this want of little ready money!
With a little cash the labOrer could
procure many neceSSarieS at the market
and save 20 per cent. over the usual store
account system. The most detrimental
system to the welfare of the labOrer that
has ever been in vogue is the monthly pay
day. Would it not be unjust and unreason-
able to ask the merchant to carry his bust
ness over from month to month without re-
celvlng cent during each interval of thirty
days? How much more unjust it is, then,
to ask the poor laborer, with no other re-
source than the labor of his hands, to do it?
In many cases where the laborer begins
until the 18th or Goth of the following
month before he can receive a cent-a
period of fOrty-five or fifty days-and even
then receives but one months pay, which
sum is entirely consumed long before
payday in rent, fuel and grocery
bill, and in nine cases out of ten
he is in debt. Under this system
he is held from year to year in the power of
grocer and provision dealer, and continues
i'll this way, never accommodating cent
each months salary merely paying expen-
SEES, until sickness overtakes him, when
charity is called in to cover the pernicious
effects of the monthly payday system.
Were laborers paid every week they could,
and thousands would. use their weekly sal
airy to procure each weeks supply of nee
essaries, and with the cash could buy at the
cheapest market. The Knights of Labor
and other labor organizations should make
an effort to abolish this worn out aud abom-
Unable system, which accords the laborer
the privilege of holding or possessing ready
money, but eleven or twelve days out of
S65, and this at intervals of thirty days.
