Three questions connected with the labor

Three questions connected with the labor
movement are Of transcendent Importance:
I. Education in its broadcast practical sense.
. The effect Of competition In ckeapening
hbor's wage and condition. 8. The tendency
OF the industrial movement to affect the char
acter anu scope Of government in the republic
and in the separate states. Education by
parent. school master and newspaper has lifted,
under our liberal institutions, the working
man and working woman Of the United States
notably the working woman-far above their
fellows in Europe, except possibly the Swiss
and Norwegians- This ascendancy is only i'm
perilied by the possibility that the undesirable
element in the heavy immigration row going
on may, unless checked by early legislation,
impair the self-relianco of the American work
man and remove some OF the incentives and q
portion of the means for advancement The
continued prosperity of the laboring people of
this country il the highest objec, Of solicitude
on the part OF Its intelligeu: citizens. The
foundation Of that prosperity il the indie
pendent character of the free laborer which
has educated his children, made comfortable
his home, given him intelligent companion
ship and some means of self-culture, and prom
ises in the future, IL economical conditions are
not overwhelmingly adverse, to promote the
welfare of him and his almost infinitely further.
Education depends largely in a free country on
the pecuniary state of the educated or their
natural protectors. unless the poor are to be the
benefciaries Of class This would be spurned
by most Americans. Then II the schools and
other educational institutions, including news
papers and periodicals. are to be sustained by
the mass of those that labor, who constitute
the countrys mainstay, the laws must so OPP
crate to render the people able to maintain
all these institutions that make for intelh-
genee. culture and refined improvement
The system OF importing contract labor. not
now to any extent by the seaboard. but across
the Canadian border. with the introd &c ton Of
paupers, idiots. lunatics. criminals and persons
incapable of American assimilation. is highly
detrimental to all American interests and
especially injurious to the wage workers now
residing in the country. whom it impoverishes
and degrades- The steady improvement of
American labor must not be interfered with.
The people a whole must be educated more
thoroughly. and, as the democratic tendencies
increase, more broadly. so that they may be
equal to their responsibilities. The foreign
increment must not be allowed to make Amer
lea un-American- Above all else except char
acter is the intelligence of our laboring pop
ulation. 1t is the rock on which the structure
OF q republic like ours forever must rest
