They then fill up the shop with cbhoap men, mostly Germans, who will work for wages that no Amorican coutd live on. And now thoy imagino that, having choap help, there is nothing left undouo to make tho business euc- cessful. And this 1s tho rock on which thoy split, for tho following reasons: Firat, it takes ono- fourth moro of this class of help to perform the game amount of worl. Socond, the work is not one-fourth as well performed, Third, they use up one-fourth more stock than is necessary, through tho igneranco of employer. Fourth, they destroy one-fourth mora of the machmery teed in conatruction, and ina great many cases: render it unit for use, thereby necessi- tating the purchasing of now mschinou. Fifth, one-fourth nioro time is used to porform the eamo smount of work than is necoseary, thereby causing one-fourth mors facl to be used (where steam is employed), one-fourth more wear aud tear on machiucry, belting, and onglne, and one-fourth more oil, ofc.
