WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT.

that odH ancestors were worse on than
we are, and that the antiquity Of the con-
dition Of the laboring classes was Inn
portant in several ways, and was per-
haps not enough considered by some
Of us.
II, now, one-sixteenth Of the popula-
tion Of England and Wales is in receipt
Of pauper relief, in Lord McCauley's
day it was in bad years one-tenth, and in
good years one-thirteenth. Gregory
King estimated it in his time Q6S5) at
about fourth, and this estimate, which
all our respect for his authority will
scarcely prevent us from calling extrava-
CANT, was pronounced by Davenant emf
nently judiciouS. McCauley goes on at
length to give other evidence Of the
probable truth Of these estimates, for
which l must refer you to his pages.
Yet-farmer, attention,-the average
price Of wheat during the last twelve
years Of Charles IL. was $3.50 per bushel.
That this enormous price OF wheat
utterly failed TO rescue or in any way
benefit, the labOrer is evident both from
the above revelation of poverty and from
the fact that the highest remuneration
Tor agricultural labor, which can be as
certained TO have been paid, between
the restoration and the revolution,
(nearly thirty years. was six shilligs a
sceek In winter and seven shillingS In
summer lOithoUt board. In the year In
which these wages were paid, aversg
ing little over % cents day, wheat
was S2.10 per bushel. The common
idea that wages were lower In former
times because the cost of living was
lower, iS to q great extent a mistaken
one. Cloth weavers at that time received
sixpence q day and thought-discOn-
tented wretches, that they should have
had q shilling.
These low wages were not because
business was Improbable, for we find
that at Norwich, young boys and girls
from six years Of age upward created
wealth exceeding what was necessary
for their own subsistence by twelve
thousand pounds sterling year.
The point which / wish to make Is
the present condition, or worse one, OF
labor Is normal under the social system
which obtains throughout the civilized
world. Whenever the historic muse has
inspired the record OF the lives, wages and
sorrows Of the common people, we read
it in lines such az | have quoted. There
has been no fairer day, and the golden
age is an age Of dreams
Whenever and wherever the toller has
been raised above this plane, 1t has been
by adventitious circumstances and Of
short duration. II we, the people Of a
new world, have Jared more prosper
ously IL was then that we and our times
were exceptional, not now. The re-
sources Of our broad domain, only fully
known within the memory Of . short
llfs-the wide scope and enormous
value of our crops, our gold and silver,
the absolute demand for railroads across
our pralries--all these and more have
protected us, and we had come to think
our unexampled prosperity normal and
permanent The truth was the millions
of acres OF new continent were COM
peting for our work. They are satlated
now.
England found the scant relief, which
The advocate., 1892-02-17


"you have poured too much water in your
glass and spilled 1t on the Aoor." "NO,"
answered he, st was not that l poured
too much water, but that the glass was
not large enough" Well, may l be
hanged II it had ever been apparent to
me before what an important distinction
exists between twsedledee and tweedle-
dunn. So far as the laboring man is con-
cerned, there is no valuable distinction
between overproduction and undercon-
sumption. 1t is q mere question Of
words, and IL we devote our time 10 hair
splitting of this sort, we will never do or
think anything worthy Of attention.
There are million of US perforce and
against our choice idle. There are
great many more whose industry finds
it's employment and It's reward in the
manufacture and sale of intoxicants-a
destructive instead Of productive employ
ment. There are others whose wealth
removes them from production, and
whose existence is only made possible by
the truth of the propositions with which
we started. There are yet other classes
who add nothing to our productive force
Altogether it iS not probable that rs per
cent. Of the labor Of the United States is
used to near Its capacity. Yet we do all
live. The necessities of life are pro-
duced In abundance for all of us and
more-the comforts for at least major
ity of us, and the luxurles for few.
This year or next we set Niagara work
ing for US, and relieve some more coal
diggers Of employment and of bread.
Almost every day new way is found Of
using the limitless force Of nature In
stead of man. Invention Is no longer the
child Of necessity, but of greed. This
year we are going to make more steel
rails with the same number Of rollers,
more yards Of cloth with the same mum
Der Of weavers, produce more in every
way with the same amount Of hungry
human labor than we did last year; and
yet there is going to be more labor un-
less the population has ceased to In
crease.
Just as the final result and measure of
all unutilized, Is unemployed labor,
That Is overproductlOn In its most visible
and disastrous form.
The maximum of production possible
to capital is only that which can be
utilized sold 80 as to replace the
wealth exhausted in lts manufacture.
The minimum Of labor, In the very ma
ture Of things, is used because labor
costs money and every pound ofneedlesc
force exerted must increase the cost Of
the product, or decrease the profit Of its
manufacture. We never will be-all Of
unemployed at once, under existing
social conditions, because, II it required
US all to produce sufficiently for our con
sumption, there would be no balance
left for profit.
Three conditions are eminently pro6ta
BILE to capital engaged In manufacturing
if not absolutely essential to It's welfare
First, a slight surplus Of raw material
enough to make its producers compett

Second, the least perceptible shortage oI

but the occupants are all "good fellows"
and combine business and sociability in a
manner that makes this place very
popular one for all classes of callers.

Pinos Altos was next reached that
evening, the Fort Bayard band accom-
panying the speakers. Quite a large
crowd assembled and an enthusiastic
meeting was held.
At Silver City, on the evening of the
18th, the climax was capped. The bands
in the afternoon serenaded the guests at
the fremont house, and in the evening
the whole town turned out. Mr.. Catron
made the most able speech of the cam
paign, taking up in detail the various
charges and allegations made by
Messrs. Joseph, Field Ferguson, Chill
ders and Fall few nights before, and
contradicting and refuting them in every
respect, Upon the questions of
STATEHOOD AND SILVER
Mr.. Catron enthused the audience by his
vigorous remarks. he declared himself
in favor of the free and unlimited coinage
of the American product of silver which
he was sure could be secured. He was
loudly and frequently applauded.
Judge Morrison made an excellent and
convincing argument on the tariff and
justified his right to reputation as an able
tariff orator.
Mr.. Ancheta also spoke in English and
Spanish and delighted the audience by
denouncing those who had maligned Mr.
Catron and himself.
The speakers went then to Lordsburg

county is ended. The county has been
thoroughly canvassed, every mining

Grant county, almost to man, have
made the personal acquaintance of Hon.
Thomas B. Catron, as their candidate for
delegate.

freight and passenger trains have been
swung into service: 300 miles or more of
travel across country have been done

lofty Cooks Peak range. Here a very
cordial reception was accorded them, Mr..

particularly distinguishing himself as a

showed themselves to be heartily in sym

and more especially so in their evident
dissatisfaction with the uneventful career
of Mr.. Joseph in congress. San Lorenzo
was the next stopping place, the home of
the father of Hon. j. A. Ancheta The
whole village turned out to receive the
visitors when they arrived, about 10 a. NJ.
Several hundred people attended the
meeting in the afternoon, and Mr.. Ancheta
made a stirring appeal to the voters to
fall into the ranks of progress and pros
perity. Mr.. Catron spoke in Spanish and
was frequently interrupted with loud APP
plause. The people of San Lorenzo and
vicinity are heartily in favor of change
in things and will so express themselves
when the great opportunity comes.

supper all hands proceeded to the rink,
where there were fully 500 people in

they came from nobody knew, but the
fact that they were there was decidedly
apparent by their actual presence
and by the cheering they INDUCED

On the way to Central City surprise was
encountered. As the "canvassing party
drew near town they were met on the hill
by large procession of men and car

accompanied by the TT. Bayard military
band. Marching into town, they were
escorted through the streets to the school
house, which was packed from floor to

more, and then, strange to relate, the
meeting was adjourned until after din

was present, and Messrs. Morrison and
