WHITE SULPHURSPRINGS, August 10
II is said that Cupid was once the presid-
ing genius of the White Sulphur, but it is
quite certain that Hymen now reigns SUI
preme. Shall tell you the reason why?
Well, here it is: Once, long while ago,
there came here a fond mamma, bringing
with her a daughter of surprising lowell
ness. So great was her beauty that she
captivated all beholders, land rose,
where'er you turned your eye, the morn
ing star of memory" A few days after
her arrival there came a young man from
the extreme South, with the form OF Apollo
and the confident air of Achilles. They
met; they loved.

Report of Labor Bureau.


In his report for 1884, as Chief of the
Massachusetts Bureau of Statistics of La
Dor, Carroll ID. Wright devoted more than
300 pages to an investigation of the course
of wages and prices in Massachusetts, dur
ing the period from 1860 to 1888, while in
his report for 1885 he presented tables OF
wages and prices for the period from 1852
to 1850, thus completing his survey of the
subject. The investigation shows that
ever since 1880 there has been a steady
upward tendency of both wages and prices,
the former advancing more rapidly than the
latter; that during the low tariff period,
from 1880 TO 1860, the average increase OF
wages in twenty occupations was 500 per
cent, while the cost of living advanced
only 12.7 per cent, so that the working
man gained almost 3S per cent, but that
during the high tariff period, since 1860
the average increase of wages in twenty
four occupations has been only pa per
cent, and the advance of prices l4.5 per
cent, so that the labOrer'S net gain was
MT quite 10 per cent. The figures OF per
centages are placed side by side below:

1t is thus evident that wages were in
creasing twice as fast in the lOw-tariti
period rs under high tariff, while prices
have risen more rapidly under high than
under Il low tariff.
