The Carpentort Union held an open
meeting last oyontla In Commercial Hall,
General Sherwood waa the principal
speaker. Thefoilowlng ID a fair epltome
Of his address, Which oceupledabort thirty
mlnulea,
AoeoFdlngtoEhe Bible ao6ount the car
ipenlera who'l-lilt the Ask were drowned
IN the food, a have not readfecently the
list Of casualties In that great dlaaalor, hut
as remember II, Noah aud his family
we're the only beings eutaIds Of the anl'
malls, inaeoia and repilleawho were saved.
Hence themen who saved one family OF
the whole human race, did not even no
oeIye LNNG wagea tor thelr great handl-
work,
just how long after the food a new
race ofuarpentera was bred aud cultured
neither tradition nor sacred history tells
ua, butto-day this olaea go we all know,
lostle each other In tho struggle Of indua'
trial NE, and t'e question OF the hour Ia,
how can we best better our condition,
There Ia evidently an oyerproductlon OF
carpenters, and 40 areault they are under-
paid. Patriots and politicians agree 70
say that the safety aud perpotulty Of our
free Institutions rohtupon the security Of
Of the home, Conccde this, and how vital

1 suspect the Carpentora' Union eel0cted
me 10 make this address, tonight, on the
same ground that President HRrriaon
aoieetod Jercinluh ltuak Of Wieo0nnin W.
Secretary Of the newly created Depart
ment OF Agriculture.
Ruak aecured hlG farming education In
lumber campin'h. w. Wisconsin and
his political education IN Congress- im'
mediatcly aftorthe war. While u member
Of the AJrd Congroas IN 1873 farmer con-
Atituent OF Ruat aRrotc him 20 visit the
Commlaaloner OF Agriculture and secure
the boat recipe for curing corn fodder,
Now this farmer, like Ruak himself had
enjoyed but u limited schooling and his
photography and chirography were both
limp and difficult OF apprehension. Kuak
read the roquest 70 be;
"Sond me q relief for oorns, fathor,n
"Ah,n said Ruhk, with apparent pride,
"lle calls me father; viii save carriage
hire 20 the Agricultural Department, and
buy him what he wants In the Ebht House
drug Alorc.N
Rulk secured from the pharmacist the
boar thing out on oornG, and mailed II TO
his Wisconsin constituent, with private
"Kocn tLia,to yourself, II Il cures as
can't afford 20 buy corn medicine for the
whole district
Now want 70 say right here, that /
know OF no panaooa for carpenters Ills,
that will not apply 10 the whole
body Of American workmcn' One
thing can be said now with entire
truth. There has never been since tho
organization sof the Government guch
universal study OF the labor question In
all It's phases, ns now, and | predict great
good will como out Of the present agitn-
ton and discussion, Al the very outset
let me say that the labor deprossions In
this country, Ia my judgment, are largely
due 10 the unjust cncroachmontg OF onpi-
tal upon the rights OF labor, and that un'
lust legislation IL largely rcsponeiblo for II,
Our system OF Federal taxation IL bur
densoRac to labor and its hRsis oughtte bc
changed. Lahoring men cannot secure
relief from rndorpay by combinations
among themselves for mutual protection,
That kind OF protection docs not tovch
the bone and marrow OF thiO question.
The seat OF tho trouble Ia lodged In laws,
that arc oppressive and unjust, and the
remedy lies IN repeating unjuat laws, and
enacting In Itnoir stead laws that, lNe
Gods dews and rains ehnll bonoht all
alike. Onr syeVc,i v, ,i,.s, 10 onSras,
