Bureau Of Agriculture, the latter reporting on

and it would also need larger provision Tor cler-

the work desired could be done far better
through the existing departments than by the
creation of a new Bureau, with new places to be
filed by politicians, dcmagogues or mere
theorists. Work of that sort needs trained

free from the communistic notions which So
called labor organizations encourage.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1884-04-28
JVTORu4TION TAINTED.

The proposal to create = new Bureau OF Labor
Statistics is not SO sclisccss as some persons
suppose There is no need OF a new bureau.
But there is need Of more information as to the
condition and wages of labor. The present
Bureau of Statistics has occasionally done good
service in that field but its force is iuadequte,
and the legal provisions by which the collection
Of information in regard to labor should be
facilitated are almost wholly wanting. The
Bureau of Agriculture collects about once a
wear valuable information as to the wages of
farm labOrcrs but it comes too late to be OF any
practical service, ana here, again, the defect Is
not in the officials but in the inadequate pro-
vision by Congress for The needs of the service.
1t seems necessary, at the outset, to make some
Congressman and editors understand that III
formation Of this nature would have practical
value Shallow minds suppose that a mere
record of the wages which labor does receive
would in no way help labor to secure better
wages Owlish theorists say that labor ought to
be able to take care OF itself; that the only way
to help it is to let it alone. These objections are
of a piece with the marvellous ignorance which
takes the wages of farmers or puddlers or
miners at one point as sufficient proof OF the re-
wards of labor all over the land The truth IS
that, at almost all times, there are parts OF the
country where labor of certain kinds is in great
demand, while in other parts of the country
such labor may be ill-paid or half-employcd.
Regular ana early information on that subject
would be of injalculablc value, both to workers
and to employers. AS matters stand, the news
that labor of a certain sort is greatly needed in
one State or only half employed in another,
goes slowly from point to point, and, SO to
speak, by accident; when it comes, it has no
official sanction, and may be doubted, and it re-
fers to state of things weeks or months past,
so that neither those who want employ ment nor
those who want to hire labor know where to
look at the time their need arises
We have Signal Service now, which fore
shadows changes of weather and with such gen
eral correctness that the entire cost of the
service is repaid to the people many times over
during the year. We have an Agricultural
Bureau too which gives some idea of the pro-
gress of production Of different crops, of the
acreage sown in each State, OF the state of
growth, and thus of the prospect of excess or
deficiency in supply and although this service
also has been greatly embarrassed by made
quate provision and by lack of wisdom at times
in its direction, it has probably been worth to
the country more than it has cost. 1t would be
comparatively easy and inexpensive to make
provision for regular and prompt reports OF

F4JTH CURES,

4 recent dispatch from Cleveland, Ohio re-
norted what is described "WOnderiul
faith cure" alleged to have occurred at Clyde in
the same state The statement is to the effect that
4 minister's wife long afflicted with pulmonary
disease having LOST the use Of one lung and being
almost moribund, restored to health in a few
hours through the exercise of lcryent faith. This
story is told circumstantay and, singular rs 1t a-
mars if is but one of many similar narratives
which have been given publication lately. IL is
nos.ibe that not many who read such accounts
stop to reflect upon what is implied ana involved IN
them. but this il really much that serious effort
ought to be mado to obtain scientific observation OF
some snch cases. TO the end that the truth concern
ing them should be established. In the first place
alleged faith cures are not new. Hume refers to
those of the tomb OF the Able Paris and that Of
the niece of Pascal. in his essay on Miracles. and
while rejecting them piima (drie incredible, he
admits that it would be impossible TO find any
alleged occurrences better attested or more fully
substantiated by Trustworthy and intelligent wit
ncsses. From tho cures of Prince liohenlohe to
those of the Zouave Jacob there has been long and
uninterrupted succession of persistent assertions IN
this regard Medical science occupies an anOma-
Ions position however, in the premises While adj
hitting that the influence OF the mind upon the
body is very great indeed, physicians usually tend
10 scepticisn when faith cures arc alleged. Their
position is here anomalous because cases of the IN
auence of the mind upon the body are to be found
IN the books which involve as remarkable structural
changes as the faith cures.
But it is not surprising that those who understand
what /, involved in the acceptance of such story
as comes from Ohio should hesitate about It, In
this case 1t is asserted by implication that psy cho-
logical emotion not merely restored diseased tissues
to a normal condition. but actually reproduced de-
Generated and wasted tissues not merely built up
cellular structure which was broken down, but re-
created that which had been destroyed altogether.
Now to say that this actually happened is to affirm
that mental processes capable OF not only con-
trolling matter, out Of utilizing the elementary
