TERMS S1.5O.
Weekly Payments.

A man need be but poor political
prophet to venture the prediction
that a law compelling mill owners
and corporations to pay their help
weekly will pass the next legislature
The movement is fast gaining in fa-
vor and is one that ought to secure
the hearty approval of every friend
OF the wage-earner and work no det-
riment whatever to the employees, ex-
cept to such ones as need a legislative
halter tight about their necks. To
those who pay cash exclusively it can
make but little real difference, and
the employer who intends to force an
employe to purchase goods from his
store inpay for work has no claim to
the clemency of Vermont legislators.
The laboring classes are the ones, of
all classes, who are cramped for ready
money. They receive wages so low
that it is hardly possible to exist and
certainly have the right to demand
the little they do receive in ready
funds that are at once transferable
anywhere for the necessities of life.
Such a law would take away the ne
cessity of a credit business, would
make scores of petty lawyers seek
other business than petty trustee
suits or else pull down their shingles
Ca cOnsummation devoutly to be
wished), and would, in every way, be
an improvement. A little care on
the part of the people in securing as
their representatives men in sympa-
thy with this movement, will secure
the passage of such law and the la
boring men will arise and call them
