effort to secure library for the Soldiers Or

from Rev. Mr.. Dyke and others, urging the

with excellent public schools and is willing to
do its part for library. That orphans have
particular claims upon the people of the State
need not be mentioned here. Mayor Kings

CERTAIN papers in New York have been
publishing articles and letters, not at all flat
tering to the condition of the laboring classes
OF Massachusetts, which has called out nu-
merous protests from people in that State
who are interested and having been engaged
in factories as employees for years, are quail
fed to judge and compare. The unanimous
testimony is that the books of the corporations
show that the same class of help make more
money to-day in gold than at the time refer
red to (when the "Lowell Offerings" were pub
bllshed) and the number of hours per week
has been reduced from 70 to sc. One man of
experience remarks that he is confident that
skilled labor was never so well paid for any
length OF time as during the past two years.
1t is asserted by these enemies of American
industry that theoperatives of factories are not
so intelligent or SO well educated as a class
as they were twenty years ago. Those acquan
tied meet this assertion with the statement
that there has been a large influx of foreign
labor and that school teaching, clerkships and
hundred other new industries have created
demand for that class of intelligent women
from the country who could only find remu-
nerative employment in the cotton mill. An
association in Massachusetts has been gather
ing statistics to show the miserable condition
OF the laboring classes, for political purposes
we appreheud; and though their success in
getting returns has only been partial and i'm.
perfect, they are unable to show, however
much they desire it, that the the laboring
classes are notmore comfortable than at any
time in the history of the country. The
Springfield Republican in examining the re-
port finds the following facts in the figures.
IAN intelligent mechanic, past middle life
who remembers circumstantIally the state Of
tnlngs IN former years, says that he worked at
sasn, pfnd and door making in 1874 thirteen
hours day, in an establishment where first
class workmen received but ST. 80 day, or 10
AZ cents an hour. Now what are the hours
ana wages In the same kind of work at pres
entY The report gives the wages of first-class
men In the same employment working only
Ten hours day, as ranging from So 80 to So 80
DAY, being an average (for first-class work
mem OF nearly $3, or 30 cents an hour-almost
tnree tlmes the wages of quarter of century
sgo. IN an establishment in Worce ster coun-
ty, employing 81 hands, OF all grades from fore
man to teamsters-the average daily wages of
all are w "A day, or about "a 1-2 cents an
nour, gain OF 138 per cent. over the wages of
the best workmen in 1884,"
The Republican thinks If other parties that
complain OF the present as compared with the
past, will only use their memories to recall
facts as they were twenty years ago, they will
all arrive at similar conclusions.
