THE MARQUIS OF LoRNE
Discourses on Canada and Rec

LONDON, Feb 23.-The Daily Graph C
tomorrow will publish the Marquis of
Lorne's second article on Canada. In
this article the marquis will say:
Free trade, whatever the result Of the
coming election may be, is impossible All
possible change of government, SO far as
Great Britain is concerned, will mean either
a few per cent decrease in the tariff. or, II
Canada joins the United States in zoll-
verein, an Increase of tariff in conjunction
with the United States against Great Britain.
The marquis contends that an in
crease in the Canadian tariff is to be ex-
pected, and is not undutiful in coun-
try developing great resources. Canada,
the marquis claims, would never be sat
istied with American government, and
he classes the talk about annexation as
absurd.
Referring to the reciprocity question,

COLUMBUS, o., Feb. 29.-Judge Allen
G. Thurman last night, speaking of eX-
Gov. Foster for secretary of the treas
ury. said:
Politically Foster is good mixer and
shrewd politician. ! have known him for a
long time, and do not see why his nomina-
ton should not give satisfaction. He has
been in the banking business for long time,
and as business man has been very success
full in his business enterprises. He is credit
ed with being cool and level-headed, and
have no doubt will successfully fill position.
His selection will undoubtedly prove quite as
satisfactory as any that could have been, and
he has to a remarkable degree the confidence
of the business interests of the country.
Democratic members of the legisla-
ture. in this city. speak favorably of Fos-
ter, and say that as Republican had
to be chosen, the selection of Foster
was emineutly satisfactory to all Buck
eye Democrats. The press of the state,
without exception, indorses the APP
pointment.

many messages of inquiry have been re-

been stated that the road has been con-
stantly improving its condition, and is

THE EIGHT HOUR MOVEMENT.
To the Editor Of THE ADVOCATE.


To the Editor Of THE ADVOCATE.
Two hundred and thirty years sgo, In
Connecticut, for mechanical and manufac-
turing purposes, eleven hours conSti-
tuted legal work day for the summer,
and nine hours for the winter time. The
pay was to vary with the hours worked,
which was very much higher in the sum-
mer than in the winter time. This old
practice Of the past is still resOrted to by
workmen to obtain demand for their
services when there are no unions to
protect regular scale of wages. In spite
of the best efforts of men these scales are
occasionally disregarded and trouble en-
sues until new agreements and rates are
restored. These troubles are not con-
fined to wage earners alone. Railroad,
steamship and manufacturing corpora
tions lose millions annually by this uu-
wise and vicious practice. In the year
1850 this law was repealed, and In the
absence Of law, custom ruled. The
agricultural masses worked from early
morn until late at night; hence the old
maxim: "Man works from sun to sun,
but poor woman's work is never done"
For over 200 years mankind toiled sub
ject to such conditions In the year 1866
ten hours was established as legal days
work in mechanical and manufacturing
callings. We at this time demand the
universal recognition of the eight hour
day. 1t seems to me that victory will
soon be ours. The most substantial evi-
dence that we have in Topeka Is the re
markable success Of the early closing of
business houses; also the adoption Of the
eight hour day on the streets Of our city.
/ remember we'll the frank and candid
opinion OF our street commissioner that
he could not render the service to the
city under the eight hour day that he
had under the old ten hour day, but to-
day he will tell you that the laborers are
much benefited thereby, and the whole
business is getting accustomed to the
change, which when once established the
difficulty is removed. Herein lies the
whole difficulty. We, as q people, are
unable to adjust our habits and modes Of
living to the ever changing clrcum-
stances, causing as they do, the whole
sale displacement of mechanics and artl-
zans by the rapid introduction Of Inn
proved machinery.
We are informed by Kansas banker,
who is president of a bank, that this
wonderful saving of labor by machinery
makes it possible for men to devote this
time saved to the pursuit Of knowledge
and pleasure. True, this statement may
be possible, but what portion of man
kind receives the lions share Of this saw

landY The laborlng man subjected to
such a condition Of affairs is not in a &c
condition to receive and assimnlate such
fine spun theories.
The world has been listening to these
after dinner orations until patience
ceases to be virtue. Such ideas
emanating from the brains of men over
fed and stimulated with nourishing food
material Rl-such as canvas back, terrepin,
imported edible snalls, roasts OF the
choicest cuts, lamb, quails, and the whole
repast topped off with wine of the choic-
est vintage, are not in a condition to
recognize the awful condition Of man
kind who are subjected to the inevitable,
ineXorable law Of neceSsity-necessity
that evil and bastard child of fate and
circumstances, Little time or inclina-
ton has the man who hears his children

requirement of knowledge
Jefferson said that It was Of far more
importance to the rich man himself that
the poor man be educated than it was
to the poor man who was the recipient
of the education.
Anarchy is the legal offspring Of
poverty, ignorance and vice as tits propa-
gated in our large cities, which are the
very hot beds of crime and sin. Men In
fluenced by such conditions denounce
their God, their country, their family,
and at last sacrifice themselves by acts
OF violence.
Wise men from time immemorial
have warned us Of approaching and i'm
pending evils.
We have here In this great common
wealth lately witnessed the most wonder
full uprising of a common people the
world has ever known. The time has
arrived when the wise and fatherly ad-
vice given US by Washington upon his
retirement from public life should be
put into active practice, pregnant as 1t is
with prophetic knowledge, calculated to
steer the great ship Of state for time
eternal.
When the eight hour day is uShered in
it will truly be an eight hour movement,
the day into three equal parts,
eight hours for toll, eight hours for rest,
eight hours for pleasure or whatever
man may will.
At the close of the late civil war the
labor movement began to assume no
mean proportions. Heretofore unions
had existed in small numbers; they then
began 10 rapidly increase. Strikes, lock-
outs and bOycotts were frequently re-
sorted to In order to prevent threatened
reductions or TO obtain an increase OF
wages. The first national movement to
the eight hour day was made
In 1878. This was defeated. Repeated
