The Eight-Hour Ques
tion.
A Melandroly Ouflmik rm- the Laboring
Men of the Country-
N. Y. Commercial Bulletin: It is
worth while to ask whether the de
mand for eight hours, which now
threatens to disturb labor in all parts
of the country, is made in the city or
in the country. There is a conside
rable difference, whether the work
ingmen themselves just now realize it
or not The claim is made that the
workingmen need the two hours daily
for their improvement. Those who
know the different customs prevailing
in cities and in the rural districts
will readily understand what it means,
if those workmen who live in the
country and in small villages manifest
no anviety for this change, and it is
demanded almost exclusively by the
workingmen whose modes of employ
ing their time are those which prevail
•with the majority in large cities.
No intelligent workingman will
question that there are many of his
associates, especially in the cities, to
whom every day or hour of idleness
is a curse. These men do not spend
their time in self-improvement, or in
-wholesome recreation, or in the com
panionship of their families. That
there are such workingmen is per
fectly well known. The question is
whether the majority, in the consid
erable towns and the large cities
where the demand for shorter hours
is made, employ their time in their
homes, or in improvement, or spend
it harmfully to themselves, to their
families and to the community. For
if it be true that those who do not
ruse well and wisely additional hours
of leisure are in the cities the majori
ty, then clearly the demand that
their hours of leisure should be in
creased involves harm to labor as a
■whole.
The economic side of the question
is much simpler than many suppose.
If the workingmen as a whole can do
as much work in eight hours as in ten
by reason of greater freshness and
•energy, then the change would result
in no decrease in the products of
labor, and therefore in no economic
loss to laborers or to the community.
But the converse is inevitable also; if
decrease in production would inevit
able result, then there would be loss
both to labor and to the communi
ty
Let it be considered that in the
cities and (owns, where the demand
for eight hours is mainly made, a
large proportion of all labor is per
formed in connection with machines.
But machines, is scarcely one of their
countless uses, can be forced or driven
to do as much in eight hours as in
ten. If therefore the large majority
of workers ip. towns and cities do
their work in connection with ma
chinery, and in all such labor, a loss
of production is inevitable if the ma
chinery is to be run fewer hours, it
follows that a great decrease in the
a ogTcgate of production must inevita
bly result
But some people say, “there is
over production already, and the pro
duction of a smaller quantity of things
would be in itself a good.” This is
simply nonsense. Men of common
sense know that ’there is and can be
no overproduction, in a general sense.
There ate people in this very country
who want all the things produced bv
labor here. Many can get supplies
in any case, and to them the only
question is one of price. They buy
a little less when prices are high, and
a little more when prices are low, but
enough in any case to meet their
necessities. A great many others get
their supplies with difficulty, and to
them a little greater scarcity or a
little higher price means that they
cannot get supplies at all. That in
volves a decrease in consumption, and
in the demand for products of indus
try, and no one can tell how great a
decrease. It involves therefore a
serious injury to all industry.
But it is said that manufacturers
can run their machines ten hours|
instead of eight. If they pay the
present wages for eight hours’ work,
ami extra wages when machines are
run two hours more, the demand is
for an advance of at least 25 per cent'
in wages, which means a rise of at
least 25 per cent in prices, which
means a reduction in consumption,
as before. To have one shift of men
for eight hours and another for two
hours is impossible. To work two
shifts of men eight hours each, in
stead of one shift ten hours, would
increase production enormously, and
add 60 per cent to the quantity or
things put on the market, at a time
when the people are able to consume
their present supplies with some
difficulty. That would be economi
cally fatal to industries. Hence the
practical result, as to all labor con
ducted in connection with machinery,
is that a reduction in the hours of
labor involves a reduction in the
quantities of things produced.
What a pity it is that such disord
ers should come at this time. The
working people of this country have
for a long time been enduring serious
depression in their industries. But
consumption has recently begun to
revive. The prevailing low prices
have helped, as every business man
knows. There is not one who does
not understand that, had goods been
held at higher prices, no such recov
ery of business as has begun could
have been witnessed. The reviving
demand has tended to renew produc
tion, and that has caused a larger
demand for labor, so that a large
proportion of the great army of
300,000 men, which was unemployed
according to good authority not long
ago, had full employment when these
labor disturbances began. It is now
reported by Bradstreet’s that the
number of ni>.n on strike or threaten
ing to strike is about 200,000, and to
these are to be added the number
who have remained unemployed, and
those who are thrown out of employ
ment, though not directly connected
with strikes, by the stoppage of works, ,
mines and railroads in consequence
of strikes. And after all, the most
melancholy feature of the case is to
reflect that in this instance the worst
thing that could possibly happen for
the laborers of the country is that
their demands should be granted,
with the consequent decrease of
production.

The Glining Call Exhibited by
Non-Professional Frauds.
The country is Hooded with bogus
medicine men, and in a few cases a
heavy capital is all they have to sus
tain their prestige. Numerous cleverly
concocted certificates are forced upon
the unsuspecting, purporting to have
“snatched from the grave” some pool
victim of blood poison or other dis
ease, when to our knowledge the
identical person lay groaning in
agony while the public were reading
of their remarkable recovery.
Another serious offense is the pub
lication of erroneous statements con
cerning various drugs, such as are
daily prescribed by ourjbest phys
icians, declaring them to be deadly
poisons. lodide of potash, which
: eems to raceive their greatest con
demnation, when prescribed by
physicians and in the proper combi
nation with certain compounds, is
not only harmless, but forms one of
the most powerful antagonists to
blood poison known to the medical
world. B. B. B. (Botanic Blood
Balm) contains iodide of potash.
This company hold hundreds of
genuine certificates from persons who
have been cured of various diseases
arising from an impure state < f the
blood by the use of B. B. B. The
question now is, if iodide of potash is
such a terrible enemy to health, why
is it that the Blood Balm Co. have
made within two years the most gig
antic sales and cures ever before
made on American soil ?

Soddy, Tenn., Nov. 8, ‘B4.
I have bad a bad ulcer, or running
sore, for 20 years, which no doctor
has ever been able to heal. I was
afflicted before leaving England, and
the doctors over there could not
cure me. For some time I have
been using B B. 8., and the effects
astonish every on', and I enclose
several pieces of bone which it has
worked out. My health is rapidly
improving, ulcers nearly all healed,
and I am far better than I have been
in 20 years. I will send you a certi
ficate soon.
