ing The public conscience and causing men and
wcmen to ask themselves and one another
what they can do to relieve the d ad weight OF
suffering around hem. The question is grave
one and the need of remedy is pressing, yet
the situation is far too complicated to be sus
ceptible of easy treatment, and only mischief
can result from incautlouS, impulsive action.
In helping any one the most important con-
dtion is that the assisted person shall not be
encouraged 10 dependence that 80 TAR as pos
sible all the aid given shall be 10 the drec ion
of stimulating self-help. For it is law Of
nature that charity distributed recklessy in
creases pauperism. Its recipients are not lifted
by it, but debased. At the same time it must
be recognized that there are situations in
which the condition of the sufferers is 80 bad
that anything is better than letting them alone,
and in such cases even alms-giviag, though as
rule to be deprecated, may be admitted as a
temporary means of relief.
No permanent good, however, can be done by
any plan which does not look to the improve
uept of the means of livelihood open to the
suffering workingwomen. WHAT lie needed is
that they should have better pay and shorter
hours of work. If that cannot be secured
nothing that can DO done will be more than
palliative. The long hours alone make the
education of these laborers impossible People
VINO work frOm sixteen To nineteen hours out

Door food that they Can alone afford makes
thin and wat ,ry blood. 1t is necessary that
they should have lore substantial nOutlsh-
ment, anu to this end they must have better
wages. But how to effect these changes Is the
question, and 1t is q very hard one. The labor
market for women is Kept Overstocked, to brgip
with. II only the natural increase of popula-
ton had to DO considered the problem would
be difficult enough but immigration pours a
perennial stream of low-priced workingwomen
upon the market. These underbid those
already employed. and this rivalry is going on
all the time. Then commercial competition
operates on the EN- ployers aud forces them to
seek the cheapest labor. III an individual
tries to give reasonable wages to his hands he
will ut once have the ground cut from under
his feet by his rivals, and must yield to the
current or DO bankrupted.
Thus the workinEwomen are pressed betw cen
the upper and neither millstones of trade and
labor competition. and at first sight their case
seems all but hopeless. Yet they are not
really greatly worse on than men we're
