number of workingmen. In countries where
there is little machinery there 10 little labor
hired. England, the United States, and France,
swarm with workingmen, because machinery
employs them. The more factories, mills,
mines, workshops, and foundries there are IN q
country, the more men, women and children
find employment for wages, and the easierit is
for the worklngman TO make living.
But let us appeal to statistics = the statistics
Of the United states. We will begin with reap
ing machines, which fanatics would destroy.
Reaping and moving machines first came into
use about the year 1885, They are now used
principally in twelve states. The United States
census statistics show the result. The number
of working farmers and agricultural laborers
in these twelve states in 1850 was ,301 1868. In
1870, the date OF the last census, the number
was 2.641 .s30-an increase in the number OF
workingmen on farms OF million and third.
But the increase Of wages was still more strik
ing In 1850. the average wages on farms was
eight dollars a month in 1870 il was thirty
dollars a month. In 1850. the average wages
OF harvest hands was eighty cents a day; IN
1870 il was three dollars and seventy eight
cents. This year, in spite OF the hard times,
the wages OF farm hands by the month Is at
least twice and half what il was In 1850, and
harvest wages average IN the twelve states two
dollars and half day. This is the result OF
the enormous increase in farm machinery.
Besides there are now thousands Of men pro-
fitably employed in the manufacture and sale
OF reaping and moving machines, and other
farm machinery.
Take the sewing machine, against which the
the tailors of New York struck in 1852, because
il was going to ruin tailors. sewing women,
etc. By the census Of 1859, there were 52,069
tailors in the United States, having a total pop
uation Of 23, 19l 876, or one tailor to every AS
people. In 1870, after twenty years OF sewing
machines, there were 406.579 tsilors in pop
ulation OF 38, 55S.371 or one tailor to every POI
people-one tailor to half as many people after
twenty years OF sewing machines as before the
sewing machine era. Sewing women increased
in like ratio and wages in 1870 for tailors and
for sewing women were more than double what
they we're in 1850. Besides 2O,524 people were
employed IN manufacturing and selling sewing
machines
About 1860, sewing, and pegging. and other
machines were applied to the manufacture OF
boots and shoes. Foolish workingmen sturck
because they said machinery would rum their
trade. But the census tells the story in the
following figures:

The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1878-08-02

Ten years OF machinery in making boots and
shoes produced these extraordinary results
The number OF workmen employed increased
one-half; the wages paid more than doubled
and the prices OF boots and shoes was reduced
for all other kinds of workingmen to buy over
third. Besides, thousands of mechanics
were employed in making these machines. and
thousands more IN tanning leather 10 keep the
machines going.
But some may say that these are selected
specimens. and still believe that labor saving
machinery generally hurts labor. Let US then
try all labor saving machinery by the census
figures. These figures include all machinery
and all workingmen and women employed in
the trades or working for wages. The result
is somewhat surprising, and complete answer
to the diatribes Of demagogues against labor
saving machinery:

Secretary Evarts is charged with a
fondness for chilling the exuberant
hopes of the casual Office seeker with
ironical observations. When san.
guine applicant for the consulate Wis
tied him the other day, for final an
swer, the Secretary looked over the list
of indorsers which contained the
names of all the eminent Republicans
of Illinois, and. fixing his eye
upon the victim, remarked
"Why do you seek a consulate? 1t
seems to me that, from your promi'
nence, you would do the Republican
party more good by remaining in ILL
nois." The obversation permanently
discouraged the applicant. and it may
serve another purpose also. There
have been several appointments to
consulates and other Offices which no
body has been able to understand.
Perhaps the Secretary sent the appli-
cants out of the country because the
Republican party would be the better
for their absence.

The Vi.r;n;a I.an;sl.tn.o

The Virginia Legislature has now
pending before it q bill to disqualify
in6dels from holding Office in that
State, but "a yet n,emhe-s hxve been
rather shy Of discussing it, 1t seems
that they. or at least many Of them,
are inclined to support it as good
Christians and on grounds of public
policy, but they see that in these days
of latitudinarianism, even in the.pul.
pit, it would be rather difficult to de.
fine exactly what constitutes infdelity.
Some of the regularly ordained cler.
gy of the present day are preaching
doctrines that would class them among
the unbelievers as measured by the
stricter standards Of faith, and We are
quite sure that the theologians of the
German and the New England Con-
gregational schools are very far from
being what would be regarded a. Or
thodox in Conservative Virginia. The
Legislature would certainly be unable
to lay down any extended system of be.
