The St. Catharines News openly ad- --_evecates annexation; aud'th-e=-Journale(Ta - ry) squints .strongly in that direction; 'The business intercourse of the' people in the territory mentioned, with those:on the. other side; has a tendency to create a de- sire for a commercial nniou at' boast, and the ne re"the intercouise'i's carried on the stronger the feeling; will •beceeee,-and We; therefore, wonld not:be surprisd,, to see the question become 'a live issue atno din tint day. _EARNINGS -OF LA -AOR.- -- The increase of wages obtained .by,the )aboring classes to -day is, per head, large- ly in excess' of that obtained before the days of trade combinations; end yet the laws of supply and demand worked in those days as in'theseil `We are afraid. that without combinations "the ' law of suplllyaliddemand alone would not have worked any more advantageously to the wage-earning classes inthese days; than it did in the centuries of poor pay and hard toil which went before." The above is an extract from an article 1n the Hamilton '-tribune commenting upon ourparagraph on .the telegraphers' strike, in wnich we said that the sew of supply and demand ru<led_the price .of labor and always would. No one attempts to deny the truth of the first sentence, but how a well-informed person,`as we must suppose the writer of the article to be, could draw such a falseconclusion we can scarcely understand. Does the Tri- bune mean to say that if combinations 71aii-been formed to raise wages, say 100 years'ago, they would )lave succeeded in raising wrges above what tuns thei1 paid, and something near what is now paid ? The idea is absurd. The wages paid then were in keeping with the profits or income derived from the different manufacturing, dexg, mechanical or, agricultural 'interests ;'car- ried on, and gave to. the employee as: .,_ many of the comforts and luxuries of life,• in comparison with those enjoyed by the employer,: g as the wage-earning class do now. To imagiue otherwise, would be to shut our eyes to the vast benefits confer- red uponmankind by the almost unnuni- bered labor saving inventions, ' economical discoveries and improvements in ever de- , y partment of life'made during the past g - century. Everyone is benefitted to some tm- exten by'every improvement, and if co binations, rings, trade. restrictions 'and barriers were utterly exterminated, the be- nefits would be greatly increased. Combinations of workmen never perma- w: r� they may -do- so for -nentlraised wages, ey. short periods, but with an evil effect in the end. When did'servantgirls combine to raise wages ? and yet their wages:, have been raised 200 and 300 per cent. during the last forty-five years. The complaint now is that they command the situation and can dictate terms to the mistress. _The simple reason "is that the demand is. in excess of the pp su 1 . When employ- ees m loy- Y P ees imagine they are underpaid let them push out -emigrate -and rate -and that will g deplete the surcharged labor market, and they may very probably become consumers of the articles they were once the producers of, as the colonists of Great Britain sup- ply up- n e andreceive in cache - 1 her - with food g PY her manufactures, thus, mutually aiding in the raising of the rate of remuneration to their laborers. THE CoUNTItl PRESS. ,, 'Refutingthe contention of a i -exchange, that o Pinions of fthec ou❑t r YP press are nOt oe much u 1o1tonce>theLondon Free Press yer5 truly remarks " P. t at necessary to the truth no. or; pertinenc It is'.e: of a mutter that it sheltie bepublished in a large place or in a large newspaper. Some of the most important truths ''have emanated from small= places, by means of the observation andresearch of men -who were at one tone ',obsome.

We, as wellas any other. &Ain try. paper. can readily endorse theabove,; as every word Of it is perfectly true. There ,is a' disposition on,thepart of some city papers' to belittle, if possible, those of rural loca- lities, and the fact is very conveniently. overlooked, that someof•the'best journal- ists of the age have had their abocle in' smali'pleces. Without fear ofsuccessful con tradielle l:, we venture the 'assertion that, circiinl stanlces:taken into coiisideiation, the edi- toiials of the average country iveekly,are superior • in argumentative • ability end literary'' finish;' to those of the average daily. paper. Although` it very often hap ,pens that•the country editor has to attends to -the general management of his office,: be local reporter, ;proof reader, type setter este., ,and write his. •c(I:torials. when he finds time,".whi'le;the editor of a daily' has 'little or; nothing else to do than write editorial matter,'` The Free Press is quite correct ie saying that "wonderful strides have been made during' the last few years,"• and:itiS quite within the manic to say that the 'country papers of Ontario at least, are .excelled; in'; -no sense by .those of any other 'place. •Not one person in one hundred`. has. ,any idea of; the;4erge amount of Rork required for the production of a single paper;. and it is the most erroneous impression to sup- pose tliat editors have' an easy time 8f it; for'there is not' a liarde'r worked class" it) • any community.
