THE HOOKING VALLEY DECISION.
And do not believe that can do bet
ter ttaa to spesk upon that subject to
which your worthy chairman alluded, the
cut iect OF labor, not to speak If the decis'
ion of mine TO which he 50 kindly alluded
claim no cred for that except the credit
that belongs to an honest man who hon
estiy discharges his duty. Great sp-
plsusa gave my judgment as Judge;
and judge cannot claim peculiar merit,
because he Goes what his office requires Of
him to dc, decide according to the right
# the case. But there was some gratih-
cation, must conf:s', in finding the right
of it. The cause WIS after ded by sutl4I-
ipgy and wants of tie lsboriug men and
brought about pace bstwsen than and
their employers trat bss lasted IN the
Hooking valley from that day to this.
But let rs look into this labor question
little. Let us lock il to the philosophy
of the pIOSuct:ol OF wealth little. That
is rather an elaborate text and yet is 8
very plain one when yoa come to under
stand It There is something added to the
wealth Of the world every year, unless it
il desuoysd by war famine or pestilence
and that iucresss of tie wealth Of the
country is produced ~ one thing AID one
thing alone ard that is labor.
LABOR MAKES WEALTH.
Every dollar that is added to the wealth
of the world is the product of labor. The
coal IN the MINIS, the rreciors metal IN
the mines, the crops that ore in the
ground, every one Of them add nothing to
the wealth Of the county until the labor
ing msn puts his ha3d to IL EN- and masss
them 81 much wealth ID increae the val
III in the land.
That being the case, the great question
arises: ''How is this annual production
of we eth in tic county 10 be ds-
tributod?' That ia the great problem.
We know that tie capitalist who l$nds
his money TO promote manufacturing, sg
riculture CT industry Of any kird expects
a return in the shape Of interest, 81 the
people, if his rate Of interest il not
tx.ortionste, ale perfectly willing
to pay him THE, which is his
Irofit. Then, there is sscond man, TIE
man who csrries on the business, set Of
middle men, the mauufactur,r, the eng
nj yer, &c. That nan torrows from the
6 .. talist a large portion or perhaps all the
