WAGES BY DECREE.
Walled.

There have been labor troubles in Guatemala. The president of the republic decided that it up to him to settle them. So he issued decree that thereafter plantation laborers should be paid $15O day paper money. This is equivalent to p cents silver, and is about twice what the laborers have recently been receiving.
 This is certainly easy way ts settle labor troubles if you have the power behind your decrees to enforce them. There is no dill y-dallying with strikes and arbitration and committees and all the rest of the palaver that generally goes with the set clement of labor dispute Instead, the president just announces wage scale and gives it out cold that he proposes to enforce it.
 The president iustfes his arbitrary action on the ground of reasonableness, and also that, account of the peculiar labor laws of the country, there is other way in which relief be given to the aborer In Guatemala men of the peon class must work. An idle man is liable to arrest There is escape for them by means of strikes Therefore, the president holds that it is his duty that they get living wage
 The presidents intentions good, if his notions of political economy are somewhat crude.

WYCKOFF ON UNIONS.

There is very instructive discussion of some phases of trades unionsm by Walter A. Wyckoff in the October Scribner. He finds of course, that unionism is and has been necessary to progress by the working masses. Only those who much biased against unonism as some union leaders are against capital deny this No doubt there would have been much progress brought about through a humane public opinion, but the gods help those who help themselves, and if the workers had not banded together their condition would be good it is today. Notice what Mir. Wyckof says of what their plight was in England hundred years ago, says the Minneapolis Journal:
 Until trade unionism and labor legislation made it impossible there lived and worked and died in the mines of England multitudes of women and children who were forced to creep on all tours through the fetd passages of the pits dragging after them to which they attached by leathern thongs.
 Of course such things would be impossible with the humane employers of day, but in world where everybody has to look out for himself he who does the least or the most inefficient looking out will suffer.
 While its object is good, union labor has made some great mistakes and its has been marked with deeds that fair offset for those of heartess employers in the earl days of industrlalism. Of the tendency of unonism to restrict production and to limit the number of qualified workers, Mir. Wyckoff has only the strongest condemnation:
 In attempting to create monopoly of any form of labor trade unionsm is invariably wrong and will inevitably pay the penalty in loss of efficiency among its members and in reardng the natural progress of the trade concerned. This is principle which is universally applicable to intellectual as well ual labor Every effort to create monopoly in any calling whatever by restricting admission to members of certain classes or of certain families whether 1t has to do with civil service or learned profession a chine tending in factory, has the invariabe effect of lowering the average of ability and efficiency.
 Again MT. Wyckof says;
 In the light of its own history and of the effect that it has had in increasing the efficiency of modern production, every attempt the part of trade union ists to restrict the numbers entering trade to prevent the adoption of the most effective organza-
 on of industry of the best labor machinery appears, it is reactionary in the extreme. x In wnking any violence against the legal rights of individuals, trade unonism is exposing itself, tainy in America the inevitable reribution of the American people.
 It is question whether trade unionsm is not now experiencing a measure of that retrlbutlon. Of late there has been marked tendency of public opinion to from the former thoroughgong sym pathy with trade unionism. This reaction has un- questionably been brought about by the conviction that the unions have been inclined to be able in the exercise of the great strength organization gives them. Just in proportion this reaction has been in evidence, the strength of unonism has

The old 'sour-dough" miner and prospector is the hope and stay of this or any other mining country. He works indefatigably through the winters blizzards and the sum mer's rains; works and hopes, and frequently, at the end of the sum- mer season, all that he has is sum med up in the word hope, which springs eternal in the true prospec- tors breast, His bacon and beans larder is often enough empty at the beginning of winter. But he is pretty nearly always courageous On the other hand. there is a class of men who arrive in the spring and depart in the fall with few hundred dollars, who invariably curse the country when leaving it Which class of men should be en- couraged in every way? The true answer will be evident to most peo- pie.
