VI-COMMERCIAL FOW: R.
The tradesmen of the preceding generation wire thankful to become the managers and the shopwalkers of their inflated supplanters, and earned a livelihood by disposing of goods for their masters at a third of the price they had formerly asked and obtained for themselves, The plausible sophistries of political economy celebrated the commercial revolution as a triumph of the division of labour; but its moral effect on the people was as far-reaching as it was pernicious. Commercial power, hitherto divided with an approach to equality among a thousand merchants, now rested with a few groups, who absorbed and magnified the profits due to the labours of their subordinates. Of these the status of inferiority, without re-
sponsibility or opportunity, worked its neces-

The rates of pay of novelists were quoted by the agents like the prices of stock on the Exchange, or the chances of a horse race; and he who, by economising his genius, might have been a master, squandered this stores in profuse over- production.
With the plethora of books came a surfeit of commentaries on work which juster canons would have left to the revision of posterity. A cloud of critics of anthologists, and of logrollers darkened the face of letters, and upon the de- cline of geaius soon followed the corruption of taste. The last outrage upon the language of Shakespeare and Fielding was a swarm of periodical leaflets, concocted of illiterate nove- and in prodigious quantities by the lower order, lettes, unmeaning statistics, American jests and, by ruining the business of those who pur- veyed sincere if not masterly compositions, contributed more than any other cause to the debasement and final extinction of English letters.

When, as became ever more frequent, a great business was in the control of a limited company, the rigour of subordination verged of a personal employer might aspire for partnership, and confidently demand humanity; but the servant of a body of directors sighed in vain for a position either of authority or of reasonable comfort. In this organisation of
With the prond spirit of empire sunk into the narrow greed of the shareholder; with phy- sical force at its ebb, sports corrupted, and. martial spirit tamed; with domestic business so organised that it stifled individuality and fostered dishonest miserliness among traders,
with elegant manners and polite letters a tasteless relic of the half-forgotten past-the British Empire entered upon the twentieth century under the gloomiest auspices. To the acuter eyes of succeeding generations that mutterings of the coming earthquake were all unbeard by contemporaries; that they prided themselves on the greatness of their dominion, and hugged the specious perfection of their civilisation. Yet decline was already accom- plished and irremediable, and fall was but too surely impending.

The wives of antisans and labourers had hi therto looked to their own industry for the clothing of themselves and their children-as the smaller conveniences of the slender house. haid had been made in moments of leisure by the labour of the husband. The new methods of trading cheapened everything, and especial- ly clothing, to a price within the compass of the poorest bus in doing so it rudely broke the tie which 'bound the lower classes to their homes. The wife, who had been wont to pass the evening in the manufacture of garments for her children, now bought them at some great emporium; and, emancipated at once from the necessity of work and the practice af frugality, devoted the evenings to idle gossip or empty frivality. On her trivial ex- cursions she would be accompanied by her young childen, which exposed their delicate immaturity to cold at the hours when it should have been fortified by sleep. The husband and father, no longer finding in his home the companionship cravel by his brief hours of relaxation, sought it with better success at one of the gaudy public-houses, whose lights at the corner of very street attested the vices and the misfortunes of the door. The happy home of the British plebeian pissed from a realy to a proverb and from a proverb to a fible, and the fair picture of the past gave place to a blur of dronkenness, indolence, and disease.
The prevailing deterioration, which did not overlook the lowest, fastened greedily upon the highest ranks of the population. The Court, as a standard of polite manners, bad almost ceased to exist. The retired life of the venerable Victoria during her later years left the leadership of fashion vacant, and the land- ed nobility was too impoverished, as well as too proud, to struggle for the viceregency. The field of so-called society was left open to any adventurer with the effrontery to usurp it
Thus arose an inner circle of fashion, or, to call it by its contemporary and more ap- propriate name, of smartness, based neither upon birth nor elegance of manners, nor even invariably upon wealth, but rather upon bold and clever arrogance, and supported in the general estimation mainly by brazen ad- vertisement. An aristocracy of birth may be unintelligent, but it has usually fixed and sustained a high standard of deportment and,

ACCIDENT IN AN ENGLISH COAL PIT.
While working in a Haolev coal pit some years ago John Henshall lost an eye from a spark at the pick-end. The injury set up inflammation, which compelled the doctors to remove the eye. Finding his occupation as a miner gone, he has since worked as a gar dener and at odd work. He is a most respect- able and intelligent man, the victim of repeated
misfortunes.
Mr. John Henshall. Victim of an accident at Hanley.
"I am getting on in years," he said—"nearly sixty-eight-and since I lost my eye I have done no work in the pits. That is, however, not the only trouble I have had. For two years I was laid up with an attack of liver complaint, which caused acute indigestion. I also suffered from nervous debility. I had agonising pains in the head, and was subject to feelings of giddiness. I was hardly able to eat, and got into a very weak, low, and depressed state of health. Indeed, I used to feel at times like a man out of his mind, and but for Dr. Williams' pink pilis I don't know what would have become of me.
