A MILLENN1AL PROPOSITION,

To the Editor of the Globe.
People seldom realize that there must be
a profit in all lines of business in order to
at least pay expenses. The same rule applies
to the laborer, mechanic and artist. If we
cannot realize a paying profit on our wares,
whether labor or salable articles, we must
sooner later sink to the level of pauper-
ism. The question is Whose fault can it
be that merchants are not getting a paying
profit for their goods and the laborer is unable
to keep himself and family on TIE dollar a
day he is receiving?" In other words why
dc iaborers so from one place to another
in an attempt to buy their necessaries Of
hunt up cheap labor? THIS is not progressive
nor productive of prosperous times.
It is my belief that ell employers of men
or as many as could be persuaded to, should
hold a general meeting and devise plans for
q general raise of wages We all know that
a general advance has been made on all the
necessaries of life and raise of wages is the
only solution of the continuance of pros
perity. What are your views? Very truly,
H. E. Graham.
saltwater, Sept. %.
Our views are that the plan would
be an excellent thing in it's immediate
results for the laborer, if there We're
any possibility of carrying it out, At
present wages are fixed by competition
in the open market; and, as far as we
can see, they are likely to be SC for
some time. That being the case, and
all employers being in the market for
the purpose of giving the lowest wage
fixed by the bidding of labor against
labor, we do not see any prospect of
carving out our correspondents ideas.
Of course the employers ought to be
perfectly willing to do it, on the theory
that underlies our beautiful protective
system. The government has given to
them authority to mark up their prices
and increase the cost of living to the
consumer on the theory that they will
proceed forthwith to divide this new
| profit with their employees.
| We have seen no disposition on their
part to carry out this programme, and
we do not expect any. AS society is
now organized, and in the absence of
| the miIlennial state, which will also be
discovered some day to be the true
economic state, where each man is as
much concerned for the welfare of his
brother as for his own, cur correspond
ent's idea will not be carried out. For
the present we fear that it is too little
| in touch with present civilization to ex-
| cite profitable discussion.

x-Rays and Smuggling.

the x-rays as means of checking the
prevailing practice of smuggling. Di.

service has ordered that Crookes tubes
be kept at all the larger customs of.
fices' and all of the customs inspectors
in Paris have been summoned to the
chief officer to have the method of their
use eplained to them.
Hitherto vast quantities of watches,
jewelry and other dutiable articles of
high valuation have been concealed by
slowing them in the legs of deal tables
and ink receptacles, and have thus es-
capped the notice Of the customs officers.
1t is believed that by means of the X
rays the presence of such articles will
readily be detected.
