Good Wages Mean Good Work.

Good Wages Mean Good Work.
If it be true that want is the parent Of
work, the converse is also true that COM
fort begets idleness. Adam Smith notes
the complaint common in his day and
our own-that workmen are discontent
ed, are everywhere stirring to improve
their condition and to attain to higher
standard Of food, clothing and housing.
But, so far from drawing the conclu-
sion that this rise has diminished indus
try, he lays it down that higher wages
Not merely, he says, does better living
increase the strength and efficiency Of
the laborer, but the prospect of yet high
err earnings and yet better position is
the sharpest spur which can be applied
to his energy.
When we pass to the present century:
we find McCulloch and Senior attacking
it as a popular error. Does experience,
asks the former, show the Irish, the
Poles and the Hindoos, whose wages are
uniformly small, to be more industrious
than the highly paid Englishman, Dutch
man or American? The cost of produce
ton, says the latter, in France, where
wages are low, is far greater than in
England where they are high, if you
compare the same industry in the two
countries, while the amount of capital
required for the same amount Of produce
ton is greater in France than in Eng
land, because more ]aborers are needed
and larger buildings and more superin-
tendence.
Wages in Ireland are third only of
wages in England, and the work done is
in the same proportion. These conclu-
sions are borne out. in a striking manner
by the experience of the late Mr.. Bras
sey, who found, as result Of his mani
fold undertakings in all parts of tie
world, that the cost of unskilled labor
at any rate was everywhere the same.
The actual payments might he higher in
one place than another, but what was
saved in wages was lost in efficiency

passed. It is quite possible that this
good conduct has been partly due to the
fact that in most places supplies of
food and often of clothing have been
freely given, though not always through
sympathy, but rather for the avowed
purpose of fastening forward the Sin
dustriap' march. That there has been
and is a very considerable amount of
moral support of the movement is, how
ever, true, and it has nowhere been more
plainly manifested than in Denver,

Do They Believe I'm God?

At the meeting recently held in Cooper
Union, New York, Father Ducey of St.
Leo's church said: ''When I see the
pampered woman Of fashion spending
in frivolities many dollars through lack
of which other women, as good if not
better, are starving, feel within me the
thought, DO these women believe in a.
God? The more I see of charity, the
more think Of Hypocrisy" Turning to
the ministers on the platform, he said,
:sDo not hesitate to refuse the S., 900 gifts
and the stained glass windows if you
know they come from the men who live
luxuriously upon the flesh and blood Of
their employees"

It Won't Hurt the WOrkingman.

A correspondent of a Philadelphia pa
per, writing on the proposed income tax,
expresses himself in this plain fashion:
How some people do squeal when one
treads on their toes! They squeal more
still when their pocketbookis tread upon.
The workingmen, having nothing tolose,
but much to gain by the projected in
come tax, have nothing to say against
the measure. It is only the we'll to do
that complain. No ono need be at a
loss now to- discover the culprits. They
are just foolish enough to tell the story
themselves The $500 year men are
safe. The taxgatherer will let them
alone. He's only after the rat that's got
the bait. Such lucky fellows ought to
be compelled to deliver up a portion Of
that they never earned.

the great body Of workingmen are cast
down, want 1t to be the lot Of all. TO
make men think alike you must make
them feel alike. No kind Of labor. not
even the worthless labor of a congress

manufacturer ought perhaps to have
more to meet possible losses, and men OF
extraordinary skill, such as Edison, de.
serve as much OF more, as they are the
greatest benefact3rs to the race.
