Effect of Low Wages.

Low wages break down the self re-
spect of the laborer, says The Granite
Cutters Journal. They extinguish the
fires of his hope and ambition, causing
him to be indifferent to his mental, So
cial and moral development, and reduce
him to the low level of making strug~
gle to keep himself alive. Poverty is All
insurmounta bic obstruction to progress.
In this country, where the governing
power is in the hands of the laboring
classes, such compensation for labor as
will cause the man with the ballot in
his hands to realize the Importance and
responsibility of his position and enable
him to qualify himself to meet its re-
quirements is an absolute necessity. A
blow struck at the wages Of the laborer
is menace against the nations life.
Despots, with the aid of great standing
armies, may maintain and keep solid
their oppressive government where pow
erty has extinguished the manhood Of
the oppressed. But here in our country
the common man is the highest author.
ity He should be a manly, intelligent
ruler. He must have chance to earn
and receive the wages that will bring to
him the necessary culture.

Labor In Japan.

Labor in Japan is organized, and
Japanese appears to pin his faith to the
utility of unions and guilds These are
organized, according to United States
Consul Connolly, not alone to secure
higher wages, but also to protect infe-
rior work. These organizations dictate
terms in the payment Of labor and also
for whom a laborer shall or shall not
work. Skilled labor in Japan is SO
scarce that by means of these unions Ia
borers are able to effect rapid increase
in wages more successfully than in any
other country. Although the amount
paid for labor in Japan is much lower
than for the same class of labor in the
United States the rates have risen enor-
lnously-in many cases as high as 100
per cent-during the past three years
and are advancing now as steadily as at
any previous time. No control is exer-
cised in the matter of the employment
Of child labor in Japan, question upon
which American statutes put strict
Interpretation. Those in authority,
however, are coming to the idea that
this point should be regulated by statute
and that child labor of all kinds should
lie abolished.

The Great French Strike.
A telegram from Abb, France, dated
Oct %, says:
Great festivities attended the opening
today of the cooperative glass factory
which has been put up by the former
strikers of the Oarmaux glass works.
The strike, which grew out of the dis
charge Of member Of the Glass Work
ers' trade union last year, was trans
formed into lockout when the men Of
fered to return to work. Efforts were
made to induce the French ministry to
intervene in the dispute and secure JUS
tice for the workingmen. The Paris
municipal council voted large sums Of
money to support the strikers, and many
other municipalities all over the coun-
try followed suit.
M. Landrin of the Paris municipal
council at today's ceremony saluted the
workers in the name of Paris. M. Henri
Rochefort delivered speech. and with
M. Jaures, the Radical Socialist deputy

TRADES UNIONS.
Extract From the Address Of President
Perkins of the Cigar Makers Union.
Trades unions mark the orderly rise
and development of the wealth produc
ing classes through the evolutionary,
educational process Their methods and
results stand out in bold relief when
oontrasted with the revolutionary, errat-
10 methods applied by the reactionary
enthusiast. Revolutions may and un-
doubted]y have checked the degeneracy
of nations, but invariably leave the
great mass Of the people in the same REL
alive economic condition. The great
revolution in France may have checked
the degeneracy of the reigning govern
ment; otherwise it in no way improved
the economic condition of the masses.
On the other hand, the organization of
the producers in trades unions in Eng
land not only had the effect Of check
ing the degenerate tendency of the gov
eminent, but it ameliorated the Geo.
nomic condition Of the toilers as we'll.
In the first instance oceans of blood were
shed and myriads of precious human
lives were sacrificed on the altar Of pa
triotism with no resultant improve
ment in the economic condition Of the
masses, while in the second instance not
q drop Of blood nor life was sacrificed,
and nevertheless great benefits accrued
to the workers in increased wages and
improved factory and general working
conditions.
The foregoing instance illustrate the
orderly development Of the working
GLASS movement along the lines of the
least resistance, the least cost, the
smallest sacrifice and the greatest result
ant benefits
Trades unions are the natural and
logical refuge of the producing classes.
They lead straight to the fulfllment of
labor's hopes and anticipations. It has
been truthfully said that the permanent
prosperity and high development Of any
nation depend upon the economic we'll
being of the great mass Of it's citizens
History and our own experience clearly
indicate that this can best be accom-
plished through the trades union move
ment. The producing capacity of any
country is developed just in proportion
to the ability Of the masses to consume.
I know of no means better calculated to
make consumers of nations hosts than
for it's people to unite in trades unions
and through their agency unitedly Sc
cure more and more, until they obtain
all that which they create. This result
will inevitably follow the complete un>
ion of labor and harmonious working
in unison, with one common purpose in
view. This indisputable economic fact
was recognized by the founders Of the

all that which they create. This result
will inevitably follow the complete un>
ion of labor and harmonious working
in unison, with one common purpose in
view. This indisputable economic fact
was recognized by the founders Of the
trades union movement and furnishes
q part of the foundation upon which are
grounded the hopes and expectations Of
its present adhel ents. Little authentic
knowledge is obtainable Of the early
struggles, the privations, the ceaseless,
unrewarded toll of the masses, who un-
til comparatively short time ago were
looked upon as mere beasts of burden
and treated as such, but to the analytic
81 mind, or even to the casual observer
who reflects upon the accumulation of
