II Is hrtter Tor the farmers OF America tha'
wage-workers have short ttInr--fhat three
or two men fifteen hours. IT Is better f"i
the farmers that. in all industries where
furnaces must be kept hot and wheels aud
machines in motion night and day. three
shifts Of men be employed eight hours each
rather than two shifts twelve hours each
ItiS also to the interest Of the farmer that
ehe laboring men, agents and clerks In all
not agricultural industries and employ
ments receive good wages. All wages thus
paid to the workers and operatives In mines
shops and factories. and on the railroads
enrich the farmers customers and improve
his market for all products of the farm. IN
order TO show the unity IF interests in every
normal community. it may be added that
short hours and numerous, wellpaid en-
ployes increase the business OF merchants
and benefit every line Of trade and every
mechanical employment. because we ar,
the consumers of each others wares. \,
sensible business or professional man nCl
intelligent farmer can conceive himself ben
efitted by the oppression OF labor, through
long hours and small pay. But. on the con
trary. the more mon there arc employed
(that means short hours) and the better he
wages the better 1t is for the farmers and
