The Unemployed : A collective term, embracing all persons in humble circumstances who are out of employment. These may be divided into three cla es: (1) Those who are unable to work, either through age, accident, or disease; (2) those who are willing to work but cannot find employment; and (3) those who will not work under any circumstances. The problem presented by the two cla es first mentioned is a very grave one; and the gravity of its solution increases yearly and in direct ratio with the increase of population in the great urban centers. Several times have the foundations of various governments been shaken by the demand of the unemployed for bread, and more than once, especially in France, has revolution reared its head close on the track of want and distre arising from monopolization of wealth by a few and other complications of the social situation, such complications resulting in depre ion or stagnation of busine and enforced idlene of you sands. Many remedies have been proposed for the alleviation of the distre of the unemployed, but all of them seem to fall far short of their intended effect. In this country we have seen for a decade or more a determined struggle between capital and labor, and with every outbreak the number of those who may be considered permanently among the unemployed is largely increased. One of the most remarkable demonstrations of the unemployed in this country was the simultaneous organization and movement toward the national capital of several so called "industrial armies." These "armies," while they undoubtedly contained a small proportion of honest working men, were largely made up of the cla described under 3 in the above enumeration. Only one detachment reached Washington, where its leader, "Gen." Coxey, was arrested and imprisoned and his followers scattered. All over the sin, aş; expect, Xenophon, exist. ph = f. country other bands collected, and for a few months the entire nation rung with their lawle deeds. The movement finally died of inanition. "The unemployed are formed from many different cla es, from many diverse elements; and we get no nearer to understanding their condition, to say nothing of improving it, if we persist in treating them as though they were all of a single type, and that type one which is in no degree representative."- St .
