 Tlie slieddinf," of Iminnn blood and tlic destruction of the prodiuts of human 
 uuUistry is always la he deeply dcplon-d. War i< a relic of harbarism, whether it be 
 between nations, between individuals, iu duel, oi in the form of strikes. Wars i)e- 
 iween nations are beconiing too e.xpensive to be of lonjir duration, and under the 
 modern laws of war agreed upon, tacitly at least, by civilized nations, and with modern 
 weapons, they arc l)ecoining les-; cruel and bloody ;tlie duel is no longer tolerated by 
 public opinion — which is thi- higher law. 5?trikes have in some countries been 
 siiperKeded by arbitration, cooperation, and indu.strial copartnerships. (ireat pro- 
 uresH in this has been made in (Jreat Britain, where, by the weight nf .>-ocial gradation, 
 much talent is compressed into, and retained in, the " Wage Class.'' (in at strikes, like 
 gix»at national wats, do still occasionally break out and rage for a short time. When 
 examiued, they will be fountl to be engendered by causes which are deep below the sur- 
 face; 8(> deep that the latest ()f a series of eflfecls is often mistaken by the casual 
 'ibserver for the cause.

 All (hisses have beeu long Hufleriiigfroin a pressure as well as a weight from above. 
 The screw ol hard limes has been long bearing ou all the strata that make up the 
 social pyiiiiiiid. This screw has pressed down all prices ; "means ot payment " liivc 
 been toiiipies^ed in volume during the i)a8t twelve years, and the compression of tin 
 volume of aiiytiiing generally desired, as the legal lender of a country (which al >iu 
 is tiie ultimufi' means of /mi/rntnt, as all substitutes are but promises to pay) expand- 
 the ^^rj'Y or exchangeable or i)urchasing power thereof, and renders it more valuabN

 chasing power continues — so long as what is called money is the most i)rolilal>le thiiii: 
 to hold as iiii investment, it will be hoarded and the wheels of commerce and indu-tvv 
 will ])e clogge i or stojipid as those of mechanical machinery are clogged and stayed 
 when the supply of lubricating oil is deficient. 
 
 The present strike of the railroad emj)loyes probably has its cause in the ciicuni 
 stances above referred to. If the strike had occurred in a higher stratum of tin 
 social iiyiiunid the cause for the strike of the railroad employes might have been 
 removed before the elVect i)roduced by that cause reached a eh.,,., v.ho, whether from 
 their superi(»r intelligence, their sui)erior courage, or habit, resist oppression ratlit 1 
 than submit lo it. The pressure of hard times was felt all thmuLih socifty, and it i> 
 resisted tiist by those who aiv accustomed to use muscular more commonly and mon 
 I'lomiMly than brain power for ])urposes of defense. Hard limes could have been pn 
 vented by power of brain and will. But they who were intrusted with the nianagf 
 ment of the national finances have proved their incompetency. They have discussed 
 the relative merits of various kinds of oil for lubricating the wheels and ways of Hk 
 stK-ial machine until the sujtjjly we had has been wasted and the machinery has nearly 
 all stopped and much of it has lieen so long standing idle that it has rusted out 
 Labor, the most valuable mean.'' for securing human well-being ; labor which, if con

 not enough to sujipress the riots which Kn^laud met on the coutracting road to

 classes, for all classes arc sutlcring from the hard times — against which all are ready 
 to rebel. The prime cause of all the disturbance and tommolion is the niismanagc-
