Show SEVENTY FIVE CENTS A WEER WEEK IT is 18 customary with american journalists na lists when drawing a contrast be bel f tween the healthy and flourishing condition of labor in this country and its degraded state in the old world to cite the laboring classes of great britain and ireland as the standard of wretchedness and everybody who has had experience there and la is capable of ob obi eer knows that the mode of life of hundreds of thousands in those countries la Is intolerable by reason of poverty and toil toll but statistics recently bently compiled in austria show that the condition of the toilers boilers of that em ilire pi re is much more wretched than in britain for while they have to pay aa as high a price for their food they receive much ipser lawer wages the london correspondence of the new york world of the loth uit nit says that thai the lower austrian chamber of commerce recently issued forms to factory managers and owners parish officers officers of trade guilds ac throughout the empire to be filled up with the rates per week of the wages wage s earned by the various classes of artisans the returns show that the average skilled artisan never earns more than two and a half or three dollars per week many of course much less and in one bran branch cb weaving hundreds of men with families work thirteen edn or fourteen hours a day for twelve and a half cents or seventy five cents per week the chamber estimates that four dollars a week is the onial smallest iest lest possible eum upon which a man wife and small email family can live for bread ia is four cents a pound butter thirty and meat fifteen but as the most skilled work men of austria earn I 1 no f ahan three dol doi dollars larbi and thousands earl earn leih less leib than a doll dollar hr the suffering they and their families are forced to endure to hold body and soul together is past conception cep tion trades unions and labor protection societies are unknown in austria because not allowed by the government and an instance is related bv the correspondent of the bakers of vienna who compelled to labor a hundred hours a week sleep on the lids of the troughs in which they mix their dough and to drink stale water resolved to strike one of their demands being merely to have fresh water daily for their drink but the government interfered offering to supply the employers with all the hands they need needed ed from the army and so compelled the bakers to give in in view of such a deplorable condition of things among the working classes of austria and on most of the continent of europe it is little if any better who can realize the wretchedness and ignorance in which they are engulfed and wonder at the tremendous influx orthe oftie poverty cursed millions of the va various i nationalities thereto the united states where A man is a man if hes willing to toil toll but there no matter how willing ibe i may be to work nor how hard andain may apply himself to his daily calling he is unable to procure for himself and family the most meagre supply of the commonest necessaries es of life a more abject condition of slavery than ever negro on southern Souther ju plantation was compelled toon endure dare history it is said repeats itself and if the truism be unfailing Austri austria amsy may expect to ta see re enacted enache 4 within her confines the seene scene bof bor the french revolution of 1789 then the ruling and wealth possessing classes monopolized every privilege and by their exactions and imposts rendered the life of the nations toilers boilers an intolerable burden to maintain but the ther storm burst forth and its effects were more terrible than anything recorded in history the political and social aspect of the whole of bf europe is almost as threatening now as that of france then and hence the efforts of the ruling classes to consolidate their power by every means that science ingenuity and brute force can suggest but with all their efforts the struggle bail can not be I 1 long iong ong delayed e ayed for the people having no h hope 0 a in kings inge and rulers may surely b be a expected shortly to do something fo for r the themselves selves WE had the pedigree of two of the bulls which have been purchased by brow 0 under the auspices of the deseret parent society for the improvement pro and cultivation of stocky bees ac shown to us this morning and thinking it would be of interest to ta many of our readers to know the kind of stock being introduced we copied them and give them herewith besides these pedigrees pedigreed grees shown to us he h has we understand the pedigree of every bull which he has purchased the society will now find it necessary to immediately open a herd book or stock register in the names jamesf and andi pedigrees pedigreed grees of animals can be kept and to which reference can always be made and from which certificates can be written by the secretary of the society for toy breeders bleeders bre eders and owners such a system aa as this properly carried out will add greatly to the sale ability of stock and will be an incentive to stock raisers to keep the blood pure the cows which bro has brought in are all in calf by well known blooded bulls the men of or whom he bought have warranted them and if the calves should not prove to be what they represent reclamation can be demanded if these should be cared for and preserved they will add greatly to our variety of flooded animals and their influence upon the stock of our territory will be of immense value we feel to give space in our columns to these matters for they are of great importance to the citizens of this territory the day is fast passing away miserable for so scrubby horses and horned stock to be raised by the people this is the case even where there are extensive ranges over which stock can roam for the system of operative cooperative co herds will naturally result in the production ot of a more select and better race of animals but it ia Is especially so in our cities in this city we need a bet class of cows those we now have in ID too many instances are but runts poor creatures for either milk or beef crossed with the shorthorn short horn durham though their offspring would be better ter and when needed for beai beef their car carcases cases eases would be valuable we wo understand the
