 The question, "What is to become o1 the old man?' is one that is frequently discussed Generally 1t is meant to ap- ply to men who havo not been able to save sufficient money to support them in their declining years and whose eco homie efficiency has become impaired by the passing of years To bo depend- ent upon their children or relatives is 3 humiliation that would imbitter that part of their lives which should be free from care The almshouse is a horror of degradation from which they shrink In somo countries tho governments hayo endeavored to solve tho problem by Q system of labor pensions This is dono in Germany; but, despite it's merits, il still savers of charity or paternalism
 A few individuals have sought for q solution in this country. In at 1east one community the employer of 1000 men insures tho lives of all his workmen up to $3,000, and after 25 years of continu- ous service an employee may retire and continue to draw full wages as long as he lives, To do this tho employer says that it costs him not over 1 per cent of his wages account, which he regards as the cheapest possible insurance against strikes and against tho disturbance caused by constantly changing his work ing force. He puts by every year that small percentage of his profits to the ac- count of wear and tear upon labor, just as ho docs c larger percentage to the ac- count of wear and tear upon machinery. He is an earnest advocate of a national labor pension and insurance system-not by the government, but by an assooia- tion of employers New York Mail and Express
