THE LABOR QUESTION.

One OF the most difficult problems for
populous countries to solve ia how to
keep their psople properly employed.
The old countries have had long ex-
perience, and for that reason are better
able than we are to deal with thu sub
ject. 1t is new question with us. and
is more troublesome than it is in the
transatlantic nations. because our work
ing people are accustomed to higher
wages and b3tter living than the labor
ing classes ovsr there. To the present
day our efforts have been largely de-
voted to colonization, and com paratively
little to organisation.
The pressure that ia now and for sew
eral year5 has been upon US. lie new, for
in the first three quarters OF a century
idle people could go upon our broad un-
occupied domain, find employment and
establish. homes. Until recently in-
voluntary idleness was almost unknown
and it was not necessary ogive thought
to the subject OF furnishing employ
ment to those who we're out OF work.
We have now but li.tle unoccup pied
land. and there ia no Indictment
for greater agricultural development.
as products oil the farm bear such
low prices that thore is very little if any
profit in the agricultural industry.
We have no great army, as there ia in
every European nation, which absorba
the working force. Nor do we nesd or
want snch an army. In this better reg
ulated European countries they have
