THE LOSS OF EMPLOYMENT.

A paragraph in yesterdays Journal says
that e local railroad interest has been run
the past year for % per cent. less than 1t
was the year previous. and with fifty
three less employees Those who look over
the comparative railroad earnings and ex-
earnings have been cut down by lack of
business expenses have been reduced in
many cases in about the same ratio as earn
ings have fallen off. If the expenditures
had been kept up to the standard of full
business there would, in many cases, have
been little money left to pay fixed charges.
The reduction of expenditures has been
very largely a reduction which has involved
the loss of employment to employees and
laborers. In the first place, all improve
ments of a permanent nature have been
stopped or curtailed. involving the loss of
employment to thousands of men. Much
less work to do about stations, a third
or a half OF the men employed have been
discharged, as in the case here cited. The
men who have been retained have not had
their wages materially reduced. but the
fact that a fifth or a quarter of the men
who were employed in 1892 have been dis
charged has reduced the gross amount paid
for labor by railroads one-fourth. While
this loss Of employment is the loss of COM
Portable living to thousands and brings
MANI 20 actual want fbau ~ not = the
only ones who suffer. One-fourtn less
money paid as wages means that a large
class of people have one-fourth less money
with which to purchase. and the result is
that all manufacture and trade loses. A
Democratic grocer said yesterday that peo-
pie were buying SO much less that 1t was
necessary to have every dollar his due; and
he went on to say that sit was very diff
ferent two years ago." With less purchas-
ers a surplus accunnuiates and low prices
| and prices below cost follow. Clothing is
| cheap now because thousands of men who
could buy two years ago cannot buy now.
Free WOOL clothing cannot benefit the
| thousands of laborers who have lost all
regular employment.
The ffty-three men discharged by a local
| railway interest will, for the most part. be
taken back as business and Transports
ton improves; but let all wage-earners re-
| member that the cutting down and the dis
| charging began with the announcement OF
the Democratic purpose to NEEDLE with the
| protective tariff. which has reserved to
| one-twentieth of the worlds inhabitants in
the United States the markets for one-fifth
| of the worlds useful products. Therefore,
the first thing to be done to insure the en-
| ployment Of 1892 is to defeat the Bynums.
| the Coopers and like foes Of prosperity.
