LABOR AND EXERTION.
Labor’s idea, according to some observers, is not the securing of a certain quantity of work for a certain quantity of payment for time given to employers, This scheme, of course, is very unsound economically, however comfortable it may be for the believers in the ■doctrine of non-exertion. Many enthusiasts preach the emancipation of labor, but the emancipation will not come from non-exertion-.' Large numbers of ''captains of- industry, and the best of ■these, have risen from the ranks, but they have not done it by non-exertion. If Labor votes for & on tiie •dead level then labor will remain on the dead level. It will not gather enough momentum to rise. The hostility to the exertion principle m any shape or form springs from ignorance of economics. If the laborer is to be worthy , of bis hire lie must exert himself. —“Evening Post-.”
