A RDXIGHTED DEADER. iMr. John Bum*, the greut labor leader of Gevit Britain and member of the llritlsli parliament, who is In this country new on a visit. s*toui*licd an sttdlcmv la Philadelphia a few day* ago hy a flerco demmclatlon of labor saving machinery. He cpdie as If he were firmly convinced that inich’ncry deprntsnl the condition of the laboring jronple of die'World. ‘Mr. Rums lias the ■v|Hlt.itlon of being an exltvmely In- teTlgi'nt man. ns iwull as a line speaker, und. his graiulue devotion to the inter est* of laboring people has never b en qihwtloirod. The denunciation of labor Hiving machinery r.Us“s a d ubt as to Whctilior he ditswra this reputation. A huudrivl years ago, when machinery for r-pinutng cotiton and wool was in- tTKlweil In Englaml, molis of working- men mot frisn mill to mill, d n.roylng It, and it was necessary to call upon tiro military force* to preserve order, but since that tin*-, the demouMratton of the fs« that lalwr savlug machinery Improves the ondtllon of working peo ple has irooinwl so complete that the outbreak of a labor leader against ma chinery Is a surprising twdutloo of the survival of die Ideas which might to he oil* dote. The min who labors must be paid from Nro prxluoc of fils hltor. If the produot I* Rule, bis pay must be small. If the product I* large, It is certain that In tbo long run bis wages will be high. Tbo caimpotbioi; for h's service* would Insure ttbl* result, oven If lalnr unions did not protect turn against the competition of other laboring men. Mr. Burns’ proposition, therefore. Is that K would he better for laboring men if tho pralurt of their labor were again email. In other wonl*, he w ould have workingmen go baclt to the condition which dbiauid hundred* of years ago, when, as every reader of history knows, the condition of working people was wretched, compared with what It Is new. If,) otight to know that during Hie last fifty years, during which the application of lalior saving madblnery has been more rapid than during nny other period of the world’s history, the advance iu tlio 'Wages of worklugmeu and lu their condition, as regards com fort and lndufiendcnce, has ..Iso been faster than was ever known before. If workingmen generally wore to adopt Mr. Burns’ Ideas, their Influence might be groat enough to seriously retard the Industrial advance of civilization. It U true that the Introduction of Im proved machinery In any establishment, for tiro time being displaced a certain number of worklugmeu. It Is also true that in that particular establishment, for tiro time being, the tolul amount |u!<l In wage* Hies* than It was before. It follows that suoil Introduction of ma chinery is n Iioribhlp, for tbo lime tro- ing, lo a contain nmnlror of working men. But us an offset 'to uhls, there Is always an increased rate of wuges for iho workingmen who remain, and a rc- duetlon in theseT.ing price of Ihelr i>ro- dnot, the result being that after a little time the number of workers Is as great as before, nisi Hie rate of waps higher. Time- Is ipractlailly tu> limit to human wants. With stitisfli'S tneu today W.U satisfy Grom no longer th in they have ability to buy more. It follows that there Is no limit which can yet be per ceived to the uses of machinery, nnd of tin- ciiiptoyuritilt which such uses may create for working people. .Mr. Burns is wrong, and fortun ttely the intelligence of workingmen lias been so informed la this country by the extensive use of machinery that his vIowh w.l! come to (ham as from one living In the benighted ages when work- litgmen we.tv without consideration In government: and their lives wrenched, nnd therefore will be with out. influence. AS TO AN EXTRA SESSION. -Vs we undersund tne situation, mere is not a majority In congress in favor of any plan of currency reform. AY of the imetulham «f tii.i 1 Ixsly, no doubt, r.roognlzo the fact that ttbe government Is lu an cxceNliurly embarrassing po- sltlon, from which It can be relieved only by a change in the currency laws and by an Increase of Its revenue* ns compared with tts expcmdUurtw. Hut while there t* this general recognition of tlir? noacHsIty of doing somrdiing, the member* nre so committed to different theories of finance that they find action In favor of any plan of relief difficult.
