A sTATESMAN'S SCHEME.

a Chicago newspaper quotes Senator
SANDERS as saying that he is preparing
bill to give every man twenty four hours
pay for eight hours work Ii may be
doubted that the gentleman said anything
of the kind; if he did say this, he proba-
bly, intended it as criticism on the demand
for shorter hours and better pay. If he
did make the assertion and was in earnest,
when he completes the bill he should draft
another which would make a dollar buy
three dollars worth of goods. One PROPOSE
ton is just as reasonable as the other.
It is not believed labor is fairly paid
anywhere in the United States. The
workingman does not get his equitable
share of the wealth which his
labor creates. But when the hours Of
labor shall be shortened the pay will be
proportionately decreased. This will be
the result unless capital shall surrender
the advantage it has always enjoyed, the
advantage of being able to wait longer than
the laDorer can be idle. The question is
one which cannot be solved by legislation.
The legislature may provide that men en-
ployed by the state shall be required to
pay shall not be cut down by reason of the
dropping of one or two hours from the
regular days work, but the law can apply
only to public work, which cuts but small
figure in the labor world. individuals and
companies will continue to regulate the
matter for themselves, paying SO much
money for so much work That is to say,
labor IS commodity which will be bought
and sold in the market as other commodi-
ties are bought and sold. The legislature
cannot compel the employer to purchase,
nor can it compel him to pay more than the
price for which the work is offered. If the
legislature should attempt to do either Of
these things the employer would simply
withdraw his capital from those under
takiDgs involving the payment of day
wages.
A faithful, conscientious worker does al
that man should do for living by work
ing eight hours out of the twenty-four
For those eight hours he should receive
perhaps as much pay as he now gets fol
ten hours toll; but until there has been
REIMBURSEMENT of prices OF the products o
labor just how men are going to get thu
same pay Tor eight hours work which the.
receive for nine or ten hours does not seen
clear.
There is just one way for the working
men to get an eight hour day, with ten
hours pay, and that is by all refusing t
work more than eight hours for ten hours
pay. That would fix an increased value t
their labor and at once proportionately in
crease the value of the products of labor
So long, however, as the labor market /
such that capital can buy ten hours labo
for ten hours pay, an eight-hour day wit
ten hours pay is out of the question
Economists, as well as the worBingmer
will be eager to see Senator SANDERS bi

commercial laws which have existed eve
since men have hired to one another.

GSASS AND TARIFES.

The junior Republican organ stated two
days ago that ordinary plate glass costs
only about ne-quarter what it did, for
merly, because Of the benefcent effects of
the tariff on glass.
The price OF plate glass not being con-
veniently at hand, we quoted the figures of
the treasury department on window glass,
showing that while the foreign price had
fallen "a per cent. since 1867, the price of
domestic window glass had fallen only s
per cent. since 1860. We also quoted the
tariff rates, showing that as the price of
the foreign article fell the tariff rate was
increased to cover the difference.
The reply of our youthful friend consists
in quoting the figures furnished by pro-
tected glass maker, who was lobbying for
more protection at the time he made out his
alleged table, of prices. These show that
the price of the domestic glass had fallen "a
cents box, or 30 per cent. since 1857. And
thereupon the junior organ says: "These
figures make as much of showing of re-
duction as is furnished by The HERALD's
table of foreign figures"
| There are no "HERALD's tables" nor
does The HERALD quote any alleged
figures" as the junior organ is impolite
enough to insinuate. The figures of the
United States treasury department show
that the price of foreign glass fell "a pei
cent. in twenty three years. Those of 6
protected manufacturer, if they are to be
believed, show tnat the glass he himself
sold fell 30 per cent. in thirty-two years
and the junior organ declares the latter as
great a decrease as the former. But Just
how this decrease of 80 per cent. in thirty
two years in the price of window glass
even if it may be believed, proves tina
Ordinary plate glass costs only one-qurtel
what it did" in 1872, when its successful
manufacture begun in this country, is no
clear. This was the point, and this poin
the junior organ kept very much away
from. More explanation from it is there

THE JURIES TO BLAME.

AT Kenton, Ohio, on Friday morning a
mob of one hundred citizens battered down
the door of the jail, overpowered the
keeper, and taking a prisoner from one of
the cells, took him across the street and
hanged him to limb Of tree, the misera-
bic wretch all the time begging piteously
for mercy. AS the fellow was an Ameri-
can citizen it is hardly probable that the in
cident will cause rupture in the diplo-
matte relations between this country and
some foreign power. Possibly aiudge may
call the attention of grand jury to the
event, and possibly the jury may call be-

THE WAR ON THE MoRMONS.

The Liberal organ is mad. It admits,
with brutal candor, that it told the Nor
mons unless they gave up polygamy, 1.-The
first thing that would be taken from them
would be the franchise. Then they would
find themselves at the mercy of such laws
as might be prescribed for them, and the
next attack would be on their property"
These are the exact words Of the Liberal
organ, except that it suppresses its former
horrible suggestion of confscation and
final bankruptcy" Now it declares it
merely pointed out to the Mormons the
ruin and 'final bankruptcy that surely
awaited them, but did not desire such
things to come upon them. We said the
organ was working to secure the disfran-
chisement and final bankruptcy" of the
Mormons, and it makes this denial:
OF course the uptown contemporary persists
in repeating that as something which we have
desired all the time; and We care nothing about
it. Every time it publishes it, it knows that i
lies; every time il publishes it, it knows thai
nine-tenths of its readers know that it lies. Ii
