PROFIT SHARING.

A prominent manufacturing firm in
Cincinnati has been testing the system
of sharing profits with employees, and
the experience is reported extremely
satisfactory to both operatives and own
ers. In the eighteen months past the
employees have received in wages S22S.-

THE SAME PRINCIPLE.

The quarrel between the Susque-
hanna miners and their employers over
the proposition to reduce the price of
blasting powder is singular illustra-
ton of the inequalities which exist be-
tween capital and labor, and at the same
time it can be used as a fair illustration
of the inequalities of the tariff system.
The Pennsylvania miners are compelled
to buy the powder they use in mining,
and yet they are shut out from free
market under their contract with their
employers. They are forced TO pay the
companies about So per cent more for
powder than they could buy it else
where, and by doing so put an annual
profit of about one million of dol
lars into the pockets Of the mine
owners, representing just that much

THERE have been instances where the
personal relations between the outgoing
and incoming president were so free
from cordiality that their compulsory
proximity at the Inauguration gave a
pantomime phase to their intercourse.
There was suggestion of this in March,
1869, and at other times. President
ARTHUR was a courtier, and never for
getful of the amenities of gentlemen.
His record will be well filled by Mr..
CLEVELAND. 1t is understood that the
personal relations of the present and
coming occupants of the White house
are so amicable that letters of courtesy
and suggestion are frequent between
them since the election, including both
the ladies and private secretaries. This
fact will greatly promote good feeling

Zling as compared to ordinary, every

to come over. The people were
noted for their liberalitv in entertain
ing strangers, for their habit of spend
ing money to show visitors around. The
head mogul of the Pioneer Press was
the root, stalk and branch of the st,
Paul board of trade. He would be at
the depot to turn the whole town over
to the Ishpeming delegation. The brass
band would be out, and the ice king
would be paraded for their especial
benefit. And the 'boys" went to st.

could be seen; the board of trade slum-
bered in the lumber yard: the ice king
was thawing his feet by his own fire.

its own soda water; the gas jets were
out of blast: the only reception that
greeted the visitors was the cry of the
hackman anxious to catch little hema-

OF course the boys had a good time.
They did not need the assistance of the
Pioneer Press to show them around that
little hamlet. yet they could not but
wonder if that paper had suspended
publication. They walked past the

doesn't like the people.
