THE WOKKINGMEN,

President Gompers of the American Fed
Grafton OF Labor advises the delegates to
avoid controversial questions and concep-
trate their efforts upon such issues as the
members are agreed upon. Sounder advice
could hardly be given to body of men.
There are always issues upon which all
members OF the same general way of think
Ing are agreed. There are others upon which
the same men will entertain difference of
opinion. If they concentrate their efforts
upon the work of effecting such reforms as
all want, they will not only avoid conflicts
Of opinion, but accustom the members to n
certain unity of action which is almost GER
tain to produce good results. BY the time
the issues are settled upon which all are
agreed. the issues upon which there has been
a difference of opinion will probably take
shape which will insure uniformity of ac-
ton. President Gompers says that of 1163
authorized strikes, $50 have succeeded.
There were rs failures and SO compromises.
The preponderance of successful strikes in
dicates that strikes have not often been
authorized without cause From this report
1t appears that the workingmen are gaining
their reasonable demands with as little op-
position as could bs expected where large
interests are in conflict They have carried
their points in some cases when the profits
oil an industry have not clearly warranted an
increase In wages. or equivalent concessions

THE PRINTING CONTRACT.

Judge Hunt has decided that the printing
contract which the Board of Supervisors
proposed to enter into with the Report is
illegal Most people who think straight will
agree that the Court could not well arrive at
any other decision. Admitting that the spec
ihcations upon which the Report bid was
based are within the meaning of the law il
does not appear that the Report put in the
lowest bid. The Supervisors appear, there
fore, to have been arrested in an attempt to
take money out OF the public treasury for
the benefit of party organ. 1t is probable
that when the new board invites bids for the
public printing it will not be with design
to get little city printing done for nothing
In consideration of authorizing the parties
doing it for nctning to charge private parties
who may desire TO make street improvements
what the said parties can stand. The city
can afford to pay for its printing and should
not try to shoulder this burden upon private
parties. No argument is needed to show
that if a party does work for the city for
nothing, upon condition that he may collect
usual rates" from private parties, the party
doing the work will seek to compensate him
self for gratuitouS work by excessive charges
for the work that he is authorized to charge

in the way OF Shorter hours. But industries
adapt themselves to new conditions. Ii
there is an advance Of or 10 per cent in the
cost of labor. employers map out their course
in conformity with it. A little is taken
from one department, a little from another,
and capital puts up with little less profit.
In the end, business adjusts itself to the
changed conditions and often discovers that
it has sustained no appreciate loss. The
increased wages come back TO the employers
in the way of increased demands for the
products of labor. The wOrkingman does
not sink his money in a hole. AT each i'm
proyement in his condition he spends more,
lives better and saves larger part of his
earnings. The workingman is the best pos
sible distributor of the accumulation Of the
proceeds Of industries. He distributes in
proportion to his means in every branch of
trade. The butcher, the groceryman, the
dry-goods dealer, the clothier, shoemaker,
furniture-manufacturer and everybody else
engaged in an honest business get share.
There is no danger of financial crisis in a
country in which. through liberal wages,
wealth is generally distributed among the

STOLEN MONEY.

We copy the following paragraph from
Philadelphia newspaper of recent date:
The appalling sum OF 100000 las been
stolen by forgers and embeZzlers In this city
Philadelphia and immediate vicinity within as
many years. and what has been done about IL
Philadelphia, it should be borne in mind,
has been governed by boss rule.
The same newspaper says further:
Several of the small thieves have been con-
ylcted and sent TO prison. but, as RUE, Tue
thieves whose robberies reached or exceeded
100000 have escaped the punishment OF the
law.
the staryeIIng who steals food for furnishing
family is friendless and the law is ptiless In its
punishment In such cases, but the deliberate
thief that robs friends and Kindred and wastes 1t
in prof1igacy and debauchery, or in reckless
gambling, is shielded by friends In most cases,
and there is no punishment for the double crime
OF betrayal OF trust aud robbery Of hundreds OF
thousands.
Affairs in Philadelphia, it will be seen,
have run very nearly in the same direction
as have those of this city. Singular, is it
not? Wherever boss rule exists there the
laws appear to be loosely enforced. In
Pennsylvania, it has been said men could
purchase positions, even Sena torial hOnors.
The newspaper from which we have
II is a mistaken theory OF family pride to shield
the thief from just punishment to temper family
diShOnor. The thief is a thief, whether high or
low, and the only way 10 multiply reproach upon
the sorrowing Innocent is TO attempt to protect
the robber from just punishment. The safety OF
society, the safety Of business, the safety of
property, and, above all. the safety of family
reputation depends upon the equal and exact
administration of justice IN dealing with thieves.
II there had not been the confident assurance
that The theft OF hundreds OF thousands would
not call down upou the thief the vengeance of
within The last five years In this community
would have been stolen al all; and not one-half
of The now fugitiyes or disgraced embezzlers
could have been tempted to become thieves. 1t
is the expectation of safety in large thefts that
has multiplied robberies and multiplied foIgers
and embezzlers and multiplied family dshonor.
Theft is theft, whether committed under honored
or humble names and there is safety only in the
stern punishment OF all the guilty.
No doubt it is astounding to PHILADELPHIA
ans to be told that $1,000. 300 has been stolen
in that city and its immediate vicinity with
in the last FIVE years by forgers and embez-
zlers. The amount in San Francisco is not
so large, but if it were aggregated it would.
doubtless, surprise most persons. We ara

GOLD AND SILVER AND BANKS.

A correspondent of THE CALL asks,
Why does not California suffer equally
with the Eastern States in the present finan-
cial stringency?" Simply because we have
metallic currency. Our banks have no cir
culattng notes, which in ordinary times pass
as money, to provide for. In the Eastern
States the currency consists mostly of bank
notes. In times like the present banks must
be provided with specie to redee m these
notes wien called upon. The trouble in the
United States prior to the war was lack
oil specie; so when a panic occur red the
banks had but little gold and silver on hand
with which to redeem their outstanding
notes, hence they suspended specie pay
ments, which in many instances amounted
to an absolute failure. III the banks in the
Eastern States issued no notes the public
would be less liable to financial panics. In
England the Bank of England regulates the
finances. That being the Institution which
issues notes. the country is nearly in the po-
sition of California, for its notes serve
equally with specie for banking purposes for
other institutions. Ii France the situation
is nearly the same as in England.

FINANCIAL TROUBLES.
Dissolution OF Central Presbyterin
Church ImmInen

Dissolution OF Central Presbyterian
Church Imminent.
On Monday evening the quarterly meeting
of the Presbytery of San Francisco was
held at Central Tabernacle Church, corner
of Polk street and Golden Gate avenue, at
which Rev. DR.. John w. Ellis, pastor of
Central Church, presented an appeal from
the church asking permission either to re-
move to some location further west or to
unite with The First Church. The object in
view Is to prevent the imminent dissolution
of Central Church. which has fast-increas-
ing Indebtedness of over S24, 900. At a
meeting held yesterday the project was
brought under earnest discussion, but as yet
no conclusive step has been taken.
Contemplated plans for reducing the
deplorable number of vacant churches and
unemployed ministers have also been before
the Presbytery. Rev. DIR. Mackenzie and
ReV. j. q. Adams have been appointed a
committee to rerOrt a scheme for remedying
the evils complained of.
The meetings will be continued until salts
factory plans for its work in view shall have
been adopted.
