TIE THATCHER CASE.

The acceptance of the decision of the
high council by Moses Thatcher settles
a controversy long drawn Out between
himself and his ecclesiastical superiors.
At this writing we have not had time
to examine the case in all its details
as reviewed by the presidency of the
stake. Whatever may be its effect or
the Interpretation that may be placed
upon it, one thing is settled by Mr..
Thatcher, most effectively, and that is
that without qualification or mental
reservation he accepts the decision in
full. The acceptance of his disclaimer
by the stake presidency ends the case.
The Herald on several occasions has
said that the church had a perfect
right to make such rules for the &C.
clesiastical government of its members
as it pleased, so long as they did not
conflict with the freedom of the in
dividual in political matters, or inter
fere with his duty to the state, and
that no one could object to the en-
forcement of such rules and remain a.
member of the church.
From Mr.. Thatchers letter it would
seem that an interpretation has been
placed upon the manifesto which en-
ables him TO accept of it, although a
hurried reading of the findings and de-
cision of the stake presidency fails to
reveal any positive construction of the
manifesto except the inferential con-
struction given by the acceptance of
Mr.. Thatcher's letter, wherein he states
that certain high officials in the church
only are required TO take council be-
fore accepting a political office.
There has never been any objection
to the manifesto by Mormons or non
Mormons except when it was construed
in such manner as to include all
members of the church, which would
in effect destroy the political indie
pendence of the individual.
If this trial has settled this point, it
has settled about the only thing in
connection with the manifesto in which
the people generally. regardless of
party or creed, are especially interest
ed; and it is settled in a way that is
probably the eastsobjectionable.

rapidly displacing the labor of hand
and muscle. Carroll D. Wright, COM
missioner of labor statistics, contrib
utes an article to the Chautauquan in
opposition to the views of the bishop
ton, DO labor saving machines de-
prive men of labor?" in the negative.
From the standpoint of the man
temporarily thrown out of employment
by the adoption of new invention, the
answer can be none else than that la
Dor saving machines compel him to
seek other avenues Of employment. But
Colonel Wright, who has sfacts and
figures at his fingers ends, explains
that one of the valuable uses of sta
tistics is in correcting popular and
fallacious impressions, and in discuss
ing this particular question they are
thoroughly conclusive. They show that
in all countries where manufacturing
Industries have been planted to the
greatest extent the people are more
largely employed as TO numbers pro-
portionatly to the whole number of
population, than in countries where me-
chanical industries do not prevail. This
statement alone is sufficient to answer
society that the introduction of ma
chinery has not deprived men of Ia
Dor.
In the United States, from 1850 to
$780, the most prolific period of inven-
tons, the population increased a little
over 80 per cent, while the number of
persons employed in all gainful occu-
pations increased over 176 per cent
The great increase in the employ
ment of people at advanced wages, Col
onel Wright says, is to be found in
those industries where the highest
grades of machines have been intro
duced, and the fact that such intro
duction has created occupations that
never existed prior to their introduc-
ton leads TO the conclusion that the
application of machinery must have
been beneficial in the aggregate instead
of detrimentalEmore men must have
been called into active employment as
machines were more generally applied.
Thousands and thousands of people are
employed in biography where not a
single individual been displaced.
These thousands find remunerative en-
ployment in the construction of tele-
graph lines, the manufacture of in
struments and the operation of lines.
The telephone has added to this accu
mutation. while the whole field of cleo
trical appliances has provided for the
employment of skilled workers, and the
employments known in the past have
not been trenched on in any degree.
Colonel Wright draws like conclu-
sions from facts which he has observed
in rapid transit and in typesetting and
printing press improvements. He in
sists that in all this there has been no
debasement of humanity by the substi-
tuition of machinery for human labor,
and that there is no danger in such
substitution. 1t has been the means of
reducing the work day from twelve or
fourteen hours to nine or ten hours, and
the inevitable result will be still fur
Their reduction in the time necessary for
earning a living.
Thus the evolution of inventions go
on, ever widening the opportunities
of employment, ever shortening the
work day, ever increasing the reward
to labor, and ever bringing a larger
proportion of the whole population into
