THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 24, 1867. BUSINESS PJCSP-CTS AND PANICS. To .the $iitor of The Evening Telrtraph: You have laiil the people under oUli.itions for the hold and able manner in which yon advocate popular rights and social topics generally. Permit me to commend, especially, the trenchant article on the labor question contained iu your issue of the 10th Inst., in which you argue that a reduction of the hours of lalior from ten to eight, if fairly and honestly extended to all kinds of labor, would not help Int injure the very persons intended to be benefited by it. Your argument that the arbitrary diminution of laboring-time two tenths would appreciate all values twenty-five per cent., and defeat the very aim of the labor "reformers," is a demonstration. You say: "The stilt of clothes which can now he moan fnetured for twenty dollars would then cost twenty-five. The Iiouno which H now costs four thousand dollars to build would then cost five thousand. And so of everything else, lleuco the result would be that, while the laborer might k t Just as much money for n, day's work of eight hours as he had previously obtained for ten hours, that money would not buy hi in so much In the market as hef-tre. He must pay more rent, for It cosls twenty-five pur cunt, more to build houses; ho must pay more for meat nnd Hour, and hats and b ots and clothes, because It eosts more to make a. 1 these thin us. An hour's labor would purchase no more In the market thau It would before, so that the laborer would really be poorer by every hour's lubor he luid lost " Thus, the practical point in your proposi tion is, that the laboring man would be poorer, that is, have just two-tenths less comfort than hefore ; for, if it is an Zionist reform, he must expect to receive as much less wages as he works less time, and all others must have the same advantages as himself. If, however, it can be shown that ten hours' labor exhausts a workman unduly, and in the long run he can produce as much, or more, hy the short as the long time of labor, then the objection falls, of course; for this is the only true point in the whole question. I assume that there is never too much p roduc tion in a country. There may be too much in particular branches of labor, but it does not affect the principle. The result of increased labor is to cheapen products, and that benefits everybody, in cluding the laborer himself. It is doubtless the intention of the short-sighted labor "re formers" to get at non-producers by the pro ject. But it will fail; for on that plan, capital is always stronger than labor. The work ingman's true remedy is to discriminate iu matters of taxation against accumulated capi tal, and in favor of labor or the laborer; in Bhort, to compel capital to endow the people, as in the case of the Public School law. Here the workingman, holding the ballot in his hand, has capital completely in Ms power; and when the endowment is gained, it blesses all classes of society alike. But I did not intend to discuss the Eight-Hour movement, so much as to notice a cognate topic brought forward in your paper last Wed nesday, as a sort of "caution" to capitalists and business men, under the caption, "Busi ness Prospects of the Country." Here, Mr. Editor, permit one of your con stant readers to caution you against an uu witting error the press is too prone to fall into. I allude to the habit of getting up commercial "panics" from time to time. In the editorial referred to, after quoting articles from the Chicago Times and Tribune, deprecating the state of trade and the neces sity of caution, you add: "In view of this state of the case in the great workshops of our capitalists, it is well for them to look well ahead into the future, and em bark only iu such Investments as will render their capital available on call. We have breakers ahead; and, liko wise seamen, we ad vise every man to reef his sails and be prepared for any possible emergency. We do not, mink that a financial panic Is imminent, but it Is pos sible; and the surest way to not only avoid Its occurrence, but also to be safe should it occur, is to act the part dictated by prudence, uud bo prepared for its coming." Now. if this is intended as an admonition to speculators in "oil," "gold and silver," and other mining stock enterprises, or mere gam bling in securities, it is wisely put forth; but if, as its language imports, it is a caution to legitimate production, such as farming, iron or cloth manufacturing, and the like, I have no hesitation in characterizing it as unwise, because it is calculated to produce the very thing deprecated. You say: "We have breakers ahead, and, liko wise seamen, we advise every man (the italics are mine) to reef his sails, and be prepared lor any possible emergency." Now the "breakers" you speak of can only come by the shattering of credits, as in 1857, the same being the result of the popular judgment as to the solvency of corpo rations and business men. Production and consumption, on the contrary, is a rock that no panics can long disarrange or destroy. Keep labor in motion; secure to all what they earn; let there be no idle drones in the hive; and we can snap our fingers at panics, stock boards, and alarmist editors to boot. The breakers you refer to are doubtless the result of increased production North, beyond what is needed for immediate consumption at homo at the present high prices, and ought in a large measure to be removed by reduced prices, by home competition, and by heavy shipments to the South, where the people are starving in the midst of a geographical para dise. 'Hie North is plethorio of labor, and the South is emaciated for the want of it. Let no man, then, but the fancy speculators reef sail. There is a market at the South for all our labor for a year to come. If labor grows redundant, as the Chicago Times says it is in that locality, let wealthy land-owners out there plant their virgin prairies, that never felt a plough before. Wheat is 3 per bushel. Let them plant trees, or dig down hills, for the good of the next generation. Let the Chi cago capitalists quit investing in stocks, and go to building houses, that their children will want if they do not, and there will soon cease to be a crv that labor is "redundant." So far as your caution applies to men who are doing lnrcr business on small capital, and especially tlinRfl eneasred in enterprises of doubtful return, vour advice is timely and judicious; Lnt as far as it relates to heavy capitalists, and especially wealthy manufacturers, it is a grand ,.,iutnV. As an illustration, iiermit me to two or three large iron manufac turers in this county, wh can control at least a quarter of a million dollars each. Suppose Tnn. who have cleared fortunes during late years by favoring markets, should take your hint, and because the price o.f iron is "shut down." throwing their large force of workmen, who depend on their busi ness for a living, out of employment ? If that would not be "killing the goose that lays the golden eggs," it womu be very iimj nnd Inst the mode to produce a first-class t.anio. These capitalists can afford to store up iron, and wait for a better market. It is not a perishable article, can never be produced tY.t luiii- or cease to be valuable as a The are not the men to "furl i.. ooiia" oiift Btarve the workmen whose ii.. i tha t.nat filled their coffers. No; the true remedy with such is a slight reduction of wages, to continue ouiy uu me maruxv They owe their workmen steady employment, if it is in their power to give it. Thus, if capitalists, instead of "reefing sails in dull times," would build houses, needful railroads, clear land, drain swamps, or engage in any other sure and permanent improve ments, they would assume the character of public benefactors, as much as George Pea body, whose praise is on every tongue. Nokrihtown, Pa., April 22. M. A. CITY INTELLIGENCE. run ADDITIONAL LOCAL ITKHM 8KB OUTBIDS PA9B9.J The Bethany Mission. The new building, in Braudywino street, below Sixteenth, in tended for the education of colored children, was formnlly opened last evening with appro priate religions exercises. The building was densely crowded, and lively interest was manifested in the success of the mission. There are quite a number of respectable colored families residing in the northwestern section of the city, and the mission will supply a want long felt. After the services the lair gotten tip by the lady friends of the cause was thrown open, and will continue so during the week. A large quantity of useful articles are for sale, and as the object is a worthy one, the ladies will doubtless meet with the reward they so deservedly merit. IIosriTAL I.NTKM.ICKNCK. TllO followillg- named persons were admitted yesterday to the Pennsylvania Hospital: Edward Young, aged five years, while on his way to school, jumped on the rear part of the city van, and falling off, had both of his legs badly cut. Michael McCue, ngod twenty-eight, visited one of the dens in Water street, and came out with his head badly cut. Adeline Sands, aged thirty-five, colored, was admitted at half-past 5 P. M., bleeding pro fusely from a wound in her head. She says she was going for a bucket of water at the hour mentioned, when a man said something abusive to her, and on her replying to him she was struck with a brick. Central Pueshytery. Yesterday the Cen tral Presbytery of Philadelphia met to hear Commissioners from the Second Presbyterian Church, Seventh street, below Arch, as to the reasons why a call from the West Arch Street Church should not be put into the hands of their pastor, Rev. Dr. Beadle. Both churches were ably represented, West Arch Street Church by ex-Governor Pollock and others, Second Church by Theodore Cuyler, Esq., and others. After an able representation of the claims of each church, and a discussion of marked Christian courtesy and kindness, it was resolved by the Presbytery that Dr. Bea dle remain pastor of the Second Church. Rather Stranoe. About eighteen months ago, George Fry, at that time Superintendent of the Fifth and Sixth Streets Passenger Rail way Company, suddenly disappeared from his home and family, and after a long search a drowned body resembling that of Mr. Fry was found, and recently interred at the expense of the wife of Mr. Fry. A few days ago word came to the family that the husband and father was alive and well, living on a farm in this State. The family was reunited. Mr. Fry gives as his reasons for this strange con duct, that he thought he could do better by working on a farm in the country than by remaining in the city. Commissioners of Public Buildixoh. At a meeting of the Special Committee of Councils last evening, a ballot was taken for the selec tion of the citizens who should, in conjunction with the Mayor and Presidents of Select and Common Councils, constitute the Commis sioners of Public Buildings, when the follow ing were selected: Messrs. John Price Wetherill, .lames II. Orne, Henry C. Lea, Henry D. Moore, John M. Ogden, and John Thompson. After instructing the Chairman to report the ordinance to City Councils at their next meeting (to-morrow), the committee ad journed. A Sad Calamity. Mr. Norris Bell, a mem ber of the Bachelor Base-Ball Club, died at an early hour yesterday morning, from the ell'ects of an injury received on Saturday last. Pre vious to the game of the Athletic and Bache lor Clubs, on Saturday, Mr. Bell was struck on the side of the head with a ball. He played the came through, went home, and in the course of Monday inflammation set in, result ing as before stated. He was a young man, married, and resided at Eighth and Fitzwater streets. The Rosine Association. We understand that at a late meeting of the Board of Mana gers of the Kosme Association, I nomas ftloore, M. D., and M. M. Walker, M. D., both of Ger mantown, were appointed the physicians of the Association. This institution, it will be recollected, is under the exclusive manage ment of ladies; and active measures, we are informed, are in process to carry out very efficiently its benevolent and truly Christian objects.
