How to harmonize labor and capital is now ono of the great questions of the age. Their alienation has recently caused idleness, distress and crime on the one side, and lock-oats, derange ment of business and enormous losses on the other. Tho many millions lately lost in New York by mistukes on this question furnish only a now version of the old story of antagonisms between those who should bo partuors. The In? ternationals in session this week at the Hague have ruined questions which will perplex the Emperors of Russia, Austria and Germany, in their interviews at Ber? lin next week, quito as much as Bis? marck's "guarantee for the peace of Europe." My interest in thu practical solution of this hard problem, now puz? zling kings and peoples through the oivilized world, brought mo to this North-eastern corner of Vermont. Here is a great manufactory of scales, by far the largest establishment of the kind in the world, employiug about GOO men, and nearly 400 in branch depart? ments elsewhere, and manufacturing over 50,000 scales annually. They are ? f all sorts and sizes-over 300 varieties - from the most delicate standard of the druggist or banker, to the poudorom hay, railroad-car, or canal-boat scales, weighing 500 tons at a time. They are adapted to the standards of all nations ?nd marked with the signs of each This week, a large iuvoico was sent ti Japan, and for a long time they havi been sold in China, Australia, India Persia, Turkey, Arabia, (where tho; have been carried on mules' or camele books,) in the Barbary States, Cap< Colony, Sandwich Islands, Isle o France, all the South American States ind still more largely in the great com oieroial nations o? tho earth. For uso ii Europe, India and South America, th larger proportion are based on the met ri jystoni, which, I think, ought to be an in timo will become the universal syi bern, and which is already adopted b aearly 350,000,000 of tho world's popuU tion. The Fairbanks Compaoy ar Lielpiug on this consummation. Man -JI their scales are titted with doubl joams, givinglboth tbc common and th metric standards, thus facilitating tl comparison and use of each. The year] jales amount to about $2,000,000, un tho demand is rapidly increasing. Tl business w is never so prosperous IIB du ing tho present season. It has long been a marvel how such, concern could be made a permanei success for nearly fifty years in this r mote oorner of the State, so far fro tide-water; with heavy and expeusi freightage, the items of coal and in being yearly about 10,000 tons; wi numerous other supplies from Boston New York; and tho necessity of trat porting tho manufactured products the sea-board. Throughout New Eu ioud, the tendency of manufacturers h [leen from thu interior to the sea-sic The cost of transportation has led the ;o abandon old sites and water-pri eges for inland, and build nearer t great markets. For this reason, thou they must there run by steam on manufactories are multiplying in N H^ven and along the shore To Now Ye . .o rapidly than elsewhere in Conni at. But in St. Johnsbnry, uotwii n ading these great disadvantages, I jusiuess has steadily grown and beco i success which, in view of the diOic ties overcome, is unparalleled ia t country. Now, what is the explauat jf this marvelous prosperity? Whul die condition of tho workmen? Th points I came hero to investigate. J this purpose, I inspected the woi lovering ten acres, examined tho j lesses, talked freely with tho hands ?yell as with the owners and with ?tizens of St. Johnsbnry not connec with the factory. To observe the hoi ifo of the operatives, I entered tl louses and convorsed with their famil These inquiries brought out facts ; nferences which will, I think, bo of terest and usu alike to employers employed generally. This company maintains the higl reputation for integrity. Many na ?onored .abroad are tarnished at ho Daly the strictest honesty and fair d ug eau stand tho test of daily busii ntercourse with hundreds of hands ?early half a century. "They do ev thing on tho ?(piare," was, in Babita: the answer of many citizens and w nen to my inquiries on this point, joinpany has fairly earned and ga: the confidence of their men and of entire community, and a good nan ioma naturally follows them every wi The workmen say that they are n permitted to do any sham work, i tor the most distant market. To q tho pithy phrases of the men, "no s ly here," "no veneering," "no pi ng." The "test room" illustrates thoroughness of their work. To s ar of machinery or movements of vir, all the scales aro subjected tc .ticest tests before being "sealed." minutest films of metal are used fo more delioate trials. Masses of weighing hundreds of pounds, are p tlteruately on tho different oorne tho railroad soalo-platform, and il lifferenco in position change; thc cord," tho scalo is condemued. thoroughness of the work and joverity of tho test is tho explauati the world-wide reputation of tho bonks scales for accuracy. At the tom of a chest of Japan tea, boug N'ow York, and retailed in St. John this month, wus tho following pi itatement, over the signature ol ?okahama tea merchant: "This contains forty-eight pounds of ti weighed by Fairbanks' scales. We rant this tea to bo free from any art coloring." It was a pleasant coin ci that this slip should como to Johusbury store, though it has been known that "Fairbanks" wi recognized standard for tea-packi China as well aa io Japan. Indeed, their acales have done more to correct the, standards, and secure both uniformity' and accuracy in tho weights of the world, than all the other agencies com? bined. Thero is a superior class of workmen in this establishment. All are males. Their work is proof of skill. Their looks and com- irsation indicate intelli? gence. Thoy ara mostly Americans, and oome from tho surrounding towns. More than half of them are married, and set? tled here as permanent residents, inte? rested in the schools and in nil that re? lates to the prosperity of the place. M? ny of them own their houses, with spacious grounds for yard and garden, and often a barn for the poultry and cow. These houses are pleasing in their exte? rior, neatly furnished, and many of them supplied with pianos and tapestry car? pets. How different from the nomadic factory population, swarming from Canada and from other lands to densely crowded tenement-houses, who never bind themselves to civilization by a home, mach less by a houso of their ownl The tenement-houses, also, are inviting and comfortable, and surround? ed with unusually large grouuds. The towu is managed oa temperance princi? ples, and drunkenness, disorder and strife among the hands are almost un? known. Most of them are churoh-goers, many of them church members. I examined tho pay roll aud found the wages very liberal. The workmen seem well satisfied on that score. Whenever it is possible, tho work is paid for by the piece. The work itself is largely dono by machinery and that sui generis, invented here und for the special aud peculiar results here roached. Tho mon are encouraged to expedite their pro? cesses by new inventions and share largely iu the benefits of all such im? provements. I conversed with one of the hands who invonted a curious appa? ratus by. which ho marka 100 register bars with greater accuracy aud iu but littlo moro time thau he could formerly dj ono. Ho now finds working by the job especially profitable. Payiug by thc piece has worked well herc. Tho meu say it is fairer to pay for results than by bau rs. The worth of labor depends ou its products. This plan stimulates in? dustry, promotes skill, and fosters in? ventiveness. It apportions rowards tc the qunutity aud quality of work doue. Dat more than all, this plan is recog? nized by tho men as just and satisfuc tory. With tho time left practically tc their owu choice, thero is JO eight-houi movemeut here. No "labor league" 01 union has ever existed-uo strike evei been suggested.

There has evidently been mutual syn puthy aud interest between employer au Bmployed. Governor Fairbanks used t 3ay to the meu, "You should alwaj come to me as to a father."

In readiug-room, besideti a good suppl, Americau periodicals, daiiy, weekly quarterly, I noticed ou the tables m European journals, including four ? lish quarterlies, six Lo odo u weeklies ten monthlies. The library and reading room ore open every week-day and even? ing, except Wednesday evening, when all ore invited to attend the weekly "lec? ture," whioh is held ot the same hoar in all the churches. Having visited nearly cvory town of Massachusetts and Con? necticut, and traveled widely in this country, I have nowhere found in a vil? lage of this size au utheoieum so costly, a reading-room so inviting, and a library so ohoice and excellent as this. W. F. Poolo, the bibliographer, aided in the selection of the books. A large addition to the uthenoam is now going up, 37 feet by 26, besides two very large "bays" for on ort gallery, being lighted only from the dome. One room is to be ap'- 1 propriated to sculpture und the rest to paintings. < Thaddeus Fairbanks, one of the three founders of the scale factory, and who i still survives, has liberally endowed an academy which already has over 100 I pupils. A new academic hall and a large dormitory are now building. This promises to become the "Williston Se minaro" for North-eastern Vermont, furnishing to the ambitions youth of this State the best academic advantages at the lowest cost. The principal and as? sistants, among whom I found two gradu? ?tes of the Massachusetts Normal School, seemed to be thorough and earnest. There is also a free high school, but os the public schools are uot now in session I cannot speak of them from personal iu- < speotion. 1 These various provisions for the im- j provement, happiness and prosperity of this people, coupled with liberality and < Fairness in daily business intercourse, Bxplain the absence of discontent and the uniform sympathy, good feeling and t harmony which prevail. 1 I have nowhere seen a better practical solution of the labor question. \Christian Union, September S.
