was that they were not, and cons'-
quentlv most of these funds were di-

reverses this. The opinion, written
by Chief Judge Ross, holds that in

special provision is made by law TO
the contrary. Further, il asserts that

cause for action against the old dis

Advice TO workmen.

1t is natural that after so long n
period OF depression, with the coudi-
tlons OF trade still disturbed and uncer-
tain, manufacturers should be disposed
TO carry on their business cautiously.
Prices generally are At bottom figures,
and whlleit is true that many employ
ers e1aggerate the depression, to tho
disadvantage OF their working people,
the conditions are not such a. will JUS
lily the latter In insisting too stieuu-
ouSiy upon their own terms.
Many OF the mills that have resumed
WORK with the opening of the wear have
done 50 at a reduced scale OF wages, and
until the revival of trade snail be adj
vanced much further our urgent advice
10 all working people j. to accept this
reduction in good spirit. Certainly low
wages are better than no wages at all.
Manufacturers cannot be asked lust
now TO start up again as though all the
cond tlons were the same as year ago.
Many OF them could afford t. remain
idle for some time longer, until tho re-
vision OF the tariff shall be completed
and the general conditions OF the mar
ket plainly established. That they are
ready 10 start up now indicates cour-
age or an enterprise that is entitled TO
recognition aud response.
Better wages will not be brought bv
the tariff, whether high or low, but by
the gradual return OF prosperous in
dustry The beginning must be- slow,
ou1 the workmcn ought 90 do their
share TO make 10 easy.
Wages have been reduced under the
high tariff until they are now lower
than they were before Mckinley was
heard OF. They will be higher when
the Mckinley incuhus has been thrown
of. But meantime the great need OF
the country is to get 20 work, and 70
put an end 70 the agitation that results
from idIeuess and that can only prolong
distress.
