Do not lose sight of the fact that
prosperity is here. We are enjoying
good times" In few years the years
1897 and 1898 will be referred to as
specimen periods of great prosperity.
The banks are filled with money. There
is S172,000000 in the gold reserve.
Wheat is selling at $1.75 bushel. We
are gravely informed that everything
is booming.
How is it with you? Have your
wages been raised? Are you saving
money? Have you built new house?
How much of this prosperity has reach
ed you?
After while we will have a panic.
We will have a period of hard times"
They will be so hard" that you will
have no difficulty in recognizing them.
Then you will know that which you
doubt today, viz, that the year 1898
was what is called prosperous" one.
Banks will fail. Factories will shut
down. Riots will occur. Men will be
shot down. Wheat will sell at 40 cents
bushel.
Prosperity under out system OF in
dustry is temporary cessation of acute
misery.

Says the American Magazine OF Civ
les: 1.-THE leading and most commend
able feature Of the management OF pub
lie affairs is the principle of the sink
ing fund, which Is applied to every en-
terprise or business in which the NUM-
cipality is interested. Whatever debts
1t hap are on the sure and safe ROAD
to liquidation by the automatic opera
ton of the sinking fund device. by
this means the city of Glasgow VIII,
inside of fifty years, furnish free water
to its citizens; give them the best cleo
trio lights free; electric or water pow
er at cost; allow them to ride on its
electric road at the nominal rare OF
two cents for any distance, and furnish
to all the free use of magnificent pub
lie library.
= THE city's affairs are managed by
business men with the same prudence
with which they would manage their
own affairs; the question OF party poll
tics enters into no local election, ana
1t seems to be the object of the munich
patty to administer the city's finances
in an economical way, to improve the
public health in its physical and moral
basis, and to give brightness and the
possibility of happiness to civil life.
Its success in all these has been so
marked as to command the admiration
of the civilized world, and to gain for
itself the appellation of the best gov
erned city on the face of the globe"

The National Reform association has
followed the lead of the National Pris-
on association by calling for "a re-
construction of the ethical code Of law
yers" 1t is felt that the frightful in
crease of crime can never be checked
80 long as attorneys, who are admitted
to the bar as the sworn ministers Of
Justice, are willing to sell their serv-
ices to S.cure immunity for the worst
of criminals, not only by securing the
fair trial, which is the right Of every
accused person, but by using their le-
gal ability for the perversion of law
and evidence and the misleading Of
juries. Is there any possible form Of
wrong, any dishonest combination for
private or public plumber which does
not find able and willing lawyers to
dress it up and parade it before the
courts in the robes of innocence and
virtue? Yet there have been lawyers,
like Horace Binney and Abraham Lin
coin, who would not thus prostitute
their powers; and we would gladly
give full credit to the claim made by
Hon. Joseph H. Choate for his 10000
brother lawyers, that you will look in
vain elsewhere for more spotless hon.
or, more absolute devotion. more pa
tient industry, more conscientious fidel-
fly than among these"

The Movement That Doesn't Move.

The last convention of the American
Federation of Labor selected the ma
chinists and pressmen to lead off in
the long-talked-abo advance which
organized labor was to make in es-
tablishing the eight-hour day. That,
however, is practically all that 1t did,
for no provision whatever was made
for supporting these internationals
when once they plunged into the cam
paign except the moral support OF the
Federation. 1t was as If the United
States government were to designate
an army to land in Cuba with the I'M
derstanding that the army was to find
itself" in provisions, clothing, arms
and ammunition-the government only
extending it's moral support. The re-
suit of this, clearly foreseen and fore
told by leading trades unionists, is that
there was no demonstration of any
kind on May 1, no demand anywhere
by either of the unions for the shorter
workday.
Grand Master Machinist James o.
Cornell, of the International Associa-
ton of Machinists and metal workers,
issued an address in which he says:
Considering the gravity of the ques-
ton involved, the vote cast by our Or
ganization on the advisability of de-
handing a working day of eight hours
On May / next has been a source of
worry and disappointment to your
grand lodge officers. One would think
an important question like this would
have brought forth referendum vote
that would be phenomenal for it's thor
oughness and closeness to our total
membership. 1t didn't. Less than
one-quarter of our totally thought the
question of sufficient Importance to
record vote for or against it. This
was disheartening, and, after deep
thought and deliberation, forced your
executive officers to the conclusion that
where so much Indifference was dis
played no solidarity of action could be
counted upon should the demand be
made. To attempt movement of
such gigantic proportions without
majority of our organization behind the
effort would be criminal. To make the
attempt without counting the cost and
the chances of success would only end
in disaster both to the individuals in
volved and the organization. To at
tempt 1t without unanimity of opin-
ion that the time and the organization
were ripe would be betraying those
that thought the time for action had
arrived. The Indifference displayed
proves that the time is not ripe, neither
is our organization ready. When men
know what they want and when it is
wanted, they emphasize their knowl-
edge by the unanimity with which they
make It known. Weighing the matter
thus, your executive officers have come
to the conclusion that it would be sui
eide to make the demand on the date
proposed. Therefore, no general move
ment for the eight-hour day will be
made on May l by the International
Association of Machinists."
The pressmen followed the example
of the machinists. Local members of
both organizations attribute the indif-
ference to the fact that the American
Federation of Labor practically an
nounced that any international at
tempting to gain the eight-hour day
must do so on the same chances for
success that would exist had the Fed
Grafton remained silent on the matter.
