al to the
ballot-box," the sovereign remedy of a true American for every ill; the
enactment that two and two shall make five, which is about what the
Eight-Hour law amounts to; the declaration by statute that so much of
one metal shall equal so much of another metal,--has there not been
enough of this? Would not a few hundred well-educated emissaries of our
trades-unions and labor associations kept in the technical schools and
workshops abroad be of rather more value? "How many of the graduates of
the South Kensington Art-School, and artisans whose ability is traceable
to it, might have been induced to try here the fine work which now, in
England, is making the French tremble for their laurels, by a judicious
use of the money which public halls, meetings, brass bands, processions,
delegations, disturbances, transparencies, lobbyists, blather-skites and
strikes have cost the 'workingmen' of America?"
