The Labor Question. From tbo East ud the West, the ina-ilami the telegraph bring ua news ofttagnant trade and idle operatives. "Hard times," though repeatedly requested to "come again no more," have visited most of the large cities in the United State as well as "th'owdcountry'and threaten to make a long slay. Those ancient enemies, Capital and Labor, which ought really to be the best of friends, are making America as great a battle ground as Europe. Their antagonism m paralysing business, and eick business has brought hard times. The rate of wages has been very high in moxt parts of the Union. But emigration has brought so many lunula from abroud which are anxioaar to be busy, that laborers are not quite so precious as they used to be. Employers do not feel willing to pay such-higwages as they have bean compelled to give, and the employed are not willing to have their wages reduced, so strikes are becoming almost as common in the new work! as in the old.. These strikes are disastrous tv all parties concerned, both id their immediate effects and in their consequences Buainess is hindered, the plans and calculations of employers are broken up, the employed always suffer, and even if they gain their point; generally lose more than they gain, the confidence which should exist between both parties ia deal royed, class feelings are engendered breeding antagonism between the rich and the poor, idleness and dissipation are mad habitual, and everything and everybody around are, iu some degree, affected unfavorably. Any one who has watched American industrial affaira can perceive a differ ance in the object of lata and former disputes between workmen and employers. While strikes of former times ware generally organized to obtain an increase of wages, those of the past few months bava been almost invariably to prevent a, reduction. , At the risk of a largo class of our readers we nnst tall the plain truth, and say that the time of exorbitant wages in, this country ia past. With the increased facilities for the transportation of goods and the conveyance of laborers, has come a decrease in the price of labor. Articlea which can be cheaply manufactured In large cities are now conveyed to sparsely settled district by rail, and crowds of Irish andUermans are landing at the Eastern ports and cargoes of Chinese at the Western.' Thusi manufactured goods and low priced labor are being simultaneously distributed, and thousands of skilled mechanics and common artisans are being thrown out of employment, because they contend for wages which business men cannot pay and compete successfully with import- - This ia a matter which affects Utah as well as other places, and our artisans would do well to look it squarely in the face. Is it better to bo without employment than to work for low wages? We are aware that tho very namo of low wages is obnoxious to many. Working men are very sensitive on this point, and in Utah as well as in other countries, there are aome who, when this subject is broached, seek to inflame the minds of the people by cries of 'opression, "grinding the face of the poor," etc Now we do not beliove it to be good pol icy to undorpay any person for any kind ' of labor. "A fair day's wages for a fair day's work," is a motto for every plaoe But'the value of labor changes with circumstances. As society ia at present constituted, it is impossible to fix an un changeable rate of waces. lhere are laws that govern these matters which are superior to desires and theories, and those who fight them will oome off second " best. and demand Supply regulate all markets and the labor market ia no ex ception to the rule. Utah markets will be subject to the same fluctuations as others, until our social relations are enThe same causes tirely which have reduced tho value of certain kinds of labor in other places have operated here with similar effect, Now, is it wise for men whose services are not in demand except at a small remu Deration, toatand idle and atarve because they cannot obtain as much as they think they are entitled tof ro in fluential man in the Territory advocates low wages for the sake of keeping the working man poor, but to keep out foreign productions and foreign labor that home artiKans may not be thrown out or employment entirely. It is foi tiic benefit , Drownkd. We clip the following srora tfce Dueret Evening Aew of April and not for the oppresiden of the laborer that wise men advise a reduction in wages to Meet present emergencies. and the rail Thanks t roads; merchandise and produce are greatly reduced in price, ami reasonably reduced wages will bring more to day than much higher figures- did a few , years ago. But there are two sides to this ques tion as well as to others. If men work for low wages they ought to know what they aro working for. If cash is too scarce to be paid for labor, produce should be given at cash rates, If a man works fur a dollar and a half a day and is paid in produce which is only worth a dollar in the market, he suffers an in justice. Unless a special arrangement has been made as to the price of what he receives he is robbed of a third of hia earnings. If a workman is to be paid in produce it is unfair to push him off with that which is least marketable. Some employers always want to pay out what is of least value. If wheat is a drug in the market they will pay nothing but wheat; if it is scarce, no matter how inucii they may have in the granary, the workman cannot get a grain of it. So with other articles. The ppirit of this course savors of overreaching and which aro mild names with strong meanings. Confidence between employers and employed is neeessary to the welfare of the community. Everything that tends to weaken it fa to" be deprecated. It can only be maintained by the disposition of both partic- - towards mutual interest. must not strive to obtain the biggest price for tho least labor, neither must the employer try to get the maximum of. wor for the? minimum of pay. In all cases a fair agreement, well understood, beforehand, and fully carried out afterwards,' mukes a strong cement between the hirer and the hired. Moderate wages, cash rates aaU aqnare dealing will tend to build up the community, unite the people, promote good feeling and create general sattefaotion. sharp-practic- ' nnf V'HITE HOUSE, For the 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th days of May only!
