While such a wish transmits nothing more material or beneficial than the time old good morning or its equivalent, one is branded as uncouth and without common manners if he happens to greet a friend or otber acquaintance at this time each year and exclude the formal happy new year. He also almost automatically finds himself somewhat slighted if he does not receive the reciprocal the same to you.
In the midst of the Season millions of formal wishes, nowever, there are few which are coming from sincere hearts; a few which are intended to penetrate below superficial conventionalism. And so, while the WORKMAN, in keeping with the dictates of conventions, is extending the general wish for a happy new year to all, we are amplifying it with a sincere desire that the social, educational and economic condition among the common toilers the world over will improve to such a standard as to enable them to approach much closer to happiness, in fact, during the coming year.

We have never been able to seize them as we ought. We might have been withou: individual financial strength, but we could have easily poole small sums and furnished great levers. Our past failures, therefore, in the field of economics, especially, indicate that we bave not been sufficiently trained for the race. Although, this statement might be modified. Our ople on the Isthmus have not lost in all the races some places have been won. Here and there there have been some glimmers of health. ful awakening. All of them might not have brought forth fruit abundantly; some have not even blossomed; but the fact remains that there have been some awakening, as in the terminal cities we are now better represented in business than we were ten years ago.
