Not Benefited

Not Benefited.—The Washington Herald of February 26, in discussing the question of a two-billion dollar country, notes the tremendous strides which have been made in the development of the country and the wealth of its people, and states that trades-unionism is stronger to-day than it ever was; but at the same time pointed out that while the “wage scale is higher,” yet “the earnings of labor have not as great a purchasing power as formerly,” and that is true. With the increased wages have come increased extravagance and increased prices. The hollowness of such prosperity will be clearly demonstrated in times of financial panic.
