RESTORING THE OLD SCALE
The action of the S Hitherto
Railway Company in ordering
a restoration of ti.e <ld scale oi
age.- is a gratifying incident
of the tim s. ,
In achy so largely macte“-'ttp
of those who make their living
in conne tion with railroad
work, the interest of that class
h ecom®s an absorbing one.
When raihoad wages are cut
d wn the effect is felt at oac®
all over the city. The Constitu
ion is gratified to learn that
'he -outhern railway is in a
condition to order a restoration
ol wages. The effect of this is
not to be measured so much by
the amount of the raise as by
the inspiration it will give the
men to feel that they are once
again on the ascending scale .
6ood wage- to empl >yeo is one
of the strongest frimud. iio'is of
a city’s prosi'erity. All that
’they get keeps in circulation—
to the Laudloid, to the bu chef
to the grocer and to the cloth
ier ;so that w hen WAges are
raised it is something the good
effect of which is by uo means
confined to those who are tht
beneficiaries, but g- es’ out t®
have its influense in the general
building up of better conditions.
The employees of the So , R’v
Co., in this city are an excellent
class of men, high to i.d, imlus
trious and worthy, just such
; men as m ke up an irrisistible
citizenry; and we n joice in
iheir good fortune.—Constitu
Don.

W lii'ti a man feels that he is losing his
health and vigor, when his cheeks no ling

the sparkle of health is no longer in his
eyes, he should work less, rest more and
resort to the right remedy to restore his
bodily vigor. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medieaf
