The fact is that workmoi in nearly all , if not all , the trades , will the possible except ion of the printers nro doing bettor nnd are in every waj more prosperous than they have been since the panto. What , then , in tin menningof the present agitation amoiif them ?

There is Urge douurid for their ser vices , and they think they are entitled - titled to ull the pay the work will a and. In d ort , they nro uneasy be cause , though they nro doing very well , they believe they can and ouyht to do better. Then they plead high rents nnd liigh cost of food ; they are very un easy and indignant over the present system of convict labor in state pris ons ; and last , but very likely most mportant of all , they uro encouraged ; o demand moro of employers because .lieir trades-unions , as a rule , are in flourishing condition , and there is n ; rowinc tendency among the several trades to rocnrd their interests as dontical , and to back up ono another n all ways in their several controvur- ies with capital. They think they are in a position to demand a little nore of capital and they propose to ry it on. About half the trades rep- odonted in this city are agitating for lighor wages. The printers are not so well situated as they might bo for making stiff do- nands upon thoin employers. The argo nowpipera of this city have > rotty < ell broken the life of the lo- sal union.
