LAW AND LABOR.

The whole question Of the relation OF In
bor and capital Is agaln being discussed
throughout England and America with
nothing plausible yet suggested for the
abatement OF existing evils.
In rigid legal theory the laborer Is simply
a nran who has labor to sell aud the pur'
chaser OF labor must be legally protected IN
his right to buy tn the eheapeHt market
According TO these Authorities Il the buyer
OF the commodity called labor refuses TO
pay what the seller. regards "a tho market
price. he can no more DO legally forced 10

The increase In the circulation OF The
Post during tho summer months OF 1897
has been far greater than during like
months in any previous year.
The Post hrs become a necessity In the
homes OF the consumers, because It Prints
all the news of the day, and ais It Is tho
consumers that the merchants desire to
reach, they find The Posts ADVERTISING
columns one OF the necessities OF sue
cessful business career.
The advertisers who exercise Judgment

to the public is found in the number and
