Some Curious Facts About Shoemakers
and ShOemsking.

At q recent meeting in Chicago Mr..
T. j. Morgan gave a sketch of some of
the "insights' in shOemaking. The
number of persons, he stated. employed
in this occupation in Chicago il about
$500. including those employed in the
700 stores and small shops. About
1,500 persons are employed in large
factories, where the work is performed
on the top floors with imperfect, and
i'm most cases no ventilation whatever,
and with no G of escape in case
of fire except a single narrow stairway
or elevator. The wages paid do not
average one dollar for the whole year
of three hundred and sixty-iive days.
Female and child labor is largely en-
ployed in this occupation, amounting to
at least %one-fourth OF all persons en-
ployed, and there is a constantly in
creasing demand for this kind Of cheap
labor. No apprentices are needed or
taken. The subdivisions of labor de.
stroyed the demand for skill that re-
quires long study and practice: The
wonderful machinery in shoemaking
has divided the making of a shoe into
sixty-four parts. and the shoemaker of
to-day is only the sixty-fourth part of
a whole shoemaker, as shown by the
following ~specialties or distinct branch
es of shoemaking at which a man,
woman. or child is. constantly kept at
work: Binders, blackers, boot-linerS,
beaters-out, boot-turnerS, bottomers,
buffers, burnishers, channelers, counter
makers, crimperS. cutters, dreSSerS,
.edgesetters, e%yeletters, finishers, heel
ers, l~asters. lendlers, machine -peggers,
Mckay stitchers, nailers, packers, pass
ers, peggers, pressers. rosctte makers,
siders. sand-paperers, sinners, stitch
ers, stri.gers, treers, trimmers, welt
ers, blockers, buttonhole makers,
clampers, clinchers, c~losers. corderS,

Domestic manufacture is now impes-

Is the BallOt-BOX a Failure +!

This republic has been ruled for four
years by man acting as President who
was not elected to that office by a ma
jority of the ballots cast in November,
1876, but was seated by fraud. 1t Isl
fact that Gen, Grant and Roscoe
ConkIi"te, declare that but for the pc.
litical management of the latter in
New York Gen. Hancock would have
been elected. This statement accordi
with the almost universal belief of the
people of the United States. Now
President Garfield is likely to be GU
off, and succeeded in Office by Vice
President Arthur, who could not have
carried the votes of one-third of thu
Republicans We have had two Presi
dents against the decree of the ballot

A STUPENDOUS FALLACY Elk.
PLODED.
Shall We Abandon Warren
County,

1t has been stated in newspaper of
this county that the people of Warren
county cat the end of 80 years will
have paid out as State taxes nearly
four hundred thousand dollars more
than all the property in the county is
worth" And THAT sour people had
better give up their property and go
to some other country" This is a stu
pendous fallacy. The following exam
pie shows the sopfdstry of such logic !:
A man owns a farm that cost him
$4,000. The interest on this for SO
years would be $50, 200, which makes
it cost Tim in that time $35, 200.
Rather than pay this 10000 interest
he had "better give up" bis farm. But
docs not this man have the use and in
Come Of his farm for SO years? How
much is that worth? Allowing him
to make s per cent. he will have his
farm, $1,000, and net gain of $4,000
besides, saying nothing of increase in
value. The assessed value of farm
products in Warren county for year
is $751; ,645; animals for slaughter
$165, 1888; manufacturing products
$463, 1852, amounting to a total O.
1,3S0,870. Allowing half this fol
consumption in its production, and W,
have $500, 445 left as the income from
Warren county against her entire tax
State, county and municipal, which i
$50, 900 on an average per annum
Now subtract this from her income anC
you will have 600, 445 - 100000 {
clear gain of $660,445 for each yea
of the SO years, or $50, 1884, 055 for tn
SO years instead of nothing as tn
croakers say. Now add the taxabl
property of Warren to this annual gai
and see if "the people had better gin
up their property and go to some othe
country" than pay the taxes on it, a
they have been advised to do.
Here is what these croakors advis
"the people to give up" to-wit: Take
bic property of Warren county, 50,
450, 731 ; annual income over take
. and expenses, $50, 445, making a tot;
of SO, ILL., This is according t
the assessed value for one year, Will
the true value would be about five mi
, lions. Will the people "abandcn" tn
five'millons, as the adviser has "abar
doned all hope of reconciliation" in tn
. Democratic party? We urge the PEI
, pie to hold on to this five millions, an
in 50 years instead OF having nothir
they will have the use of it for Il
time, and the five millions increased /

then amount to S70,3S4,055. Ode,

Although Maj. Sykes has not attend
ed political meeting nor made po-
litical speech since the close of the can
vass of 1880, certain Indignation, bolt
ing newspapers have assailed him with
q bitterness which is unaccountable.
His whole ofense is in declining to take
any part in political discussions and
giving his reasons as citizen why
Democrats should ignore past differ
ences and harmonic in the future, and
banning a plan upon which they could
harmonize and get rid of the. burden

THE FIRST NUMBER OF The CENTURY MAG
Az1NE.-With tho November number. Serb.
ner's Monthly takes on its new name.
The frst feature to attract attention is the
frontispiece. portrait Of George Eliot. which II
published through The Century Magazine by
Mrs. Cross's family. and is the one by which
they desire that she should be known to pos
terity, its life-likeness and authenticity being
vouched for. 1t presents the full face-a strong
and adequate though by no means a comely
countenance. Mr.. Cross desires 1t to tie known
that no other portrait Endorsed by the family
has been or will be published.
Not inferior. perhaps, IL the Salvini interest
of the number. 1t was announced some months
ago that this tragedian had written paper.
giving his impression of certain shaksperean
characters. This paper now appears. The sub
jects are "Hamlet." "Othello." and Macbeth,
and to some extent the paper is necessarily q
defense Of the writer's own splendid imperso-
nations. An appreciative paper on Salvini ID
also contributed by Miss Emma Lazarus, with
drawings from life, by Robert Blum, Of salvini
as Othello and as Macbeth.
The December number will be in large part
q memorial Of DR.. Holland and of President
Garfield. 1t will appear November 10th. the
day the latter would have been nifty years old
and will contain q portrait of each by Cole
with material of unusual interest regarding
both. Mr.. Howelps new novel, "A Modern In
stance" will begin in this number, and there
will be several papers Of adventure or Of curl
Gus character.
