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. » o Jonesboro, Texas, Dec. 29th, 1885. To Dr. J. H. McLean, St. Louis, Mo. —This certifies that my sister, Emily Crews, i was taken fifteen years ago with, a breast dis ease in connection with menstrual derange ments which produced a severe cough and general debility, rendering her helpless and unable for any kind of service, and after baf fling the skill of some of our best physicians and using several hundred dollars worth of various medicines on her to no good. Last June I procured a bottle of Dr. J. H. McLean’s Homoeopathic Liver and Kidney Balm, which at once began to help her, since then she has used seven bottles, and to our joy is restored to good health, is gaining flesh and has be come strong and able to do her housework, she is entirely relieved of her troubles and we I would not be without the medicine under any . consideration.

HATCHER, County Surveyor “Chumps” Who Gather in the Ducats at the Expense of Suffering Humani ty. 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 ?
