The Exposition Enterprise May Pro-

The exposition incorporaiors were called
together yesterday afternoon, at No. AZ
Madison street, TO hear the report OF an
outstanding committee. The committee
was not quite rcndy TO report on all the
points involved. and the meeting nd
journcd over until Thursday afternoon,
same hour and same place. Upon one
point, however, the committee made val
liable discovery, and thereby placed the
enterprise in good shape. The charter I'M.
der which the old exposition company, OF
this city, operated, affords all the advan-
tages desired for the proposed one, and il
will be recommended and no doubt
adopted. The only thing now Ia to 60

Mr. FarChild further said that the ques-

Farm Labor in the United states.

In his monthly report for May Prof. j. Il.
Dodge, -tatistician Of the department Of
agriculture, presents the results Of an in
quiry MS to the wages of agricultural labor
and the relation between the demand for
such labor and the supply Of it. Similar in
quiries have been made at intervals of three
years since 1879, and before that year there
was one In 1876, one IN 1863, aud onein 1851.
The rates for all these dates are given IN the
present report foreach section Of the country,
and for all, except 1868; they are also given
by states and territories IN the present re
port, the figures being printed IN parallel
columns.
Taking the average for the several sec
tious, the data furnished goes back as far us
1866. In that year the averages for the
northern and Western states were higher
than at any period since, but, as Mr.. Dodge
points out, that was In ian era of imitation
in which speculative values were all the
higher from being stated in deprecated
currency" The figures for the several
years covered by Mr.. Dodge's table arr
given below
National Republican., 1888-05-28

California aud the south are both omitted
from this comparison, the former because
Of its having adhered to metallic cur
rcncy after the suspension Of specie pay
ments on the Atlantic slope and the latter
because In 1866 the paper currency which
had been in use for several years In the
north had not found its way into the south in
sufficient quantity to produce its full effect
upon wages and prices.
We perceive, then, from tllciast table,
that, taking the sections within which paper
money was in full use " 1866, and reducing
the wages in those sactions for that year TO
their coin equivalent, there was a net rise of
10 ~ per Cent. in agricultural wages dur
flntS- fl,stsS- twenty-five years lSG6-'sS, but
taking the year 1879 into our comparison we
find that during the first thirteen years of
the period just indicated there was fall,
amounting in the west to less than per
cent, but exceeding per cent in the mid
lie states and reaching II per cent. iu
New England. This fall, however, occurred
chiefly within the last few years OF the
period lsGG-'i0, and indeed the rates for
ico' anu iG'oi NHcl TeuuCeu W LnclT con-
equivalents, show in some cases small adj
vance over the coin rates for 1865.
And as the fall that marks the period
lSGG'70, considered as whole, belongs
chiefly, If not wholly, TO its last few years,
so also does the subsequent rise belong
chiefly to the first three years Of the period
lST9-'Ss, In short, MS Mr., Dodge tersely
expressed it, the rates Of wages reached the
natural level by leap as soon MS the pres
sure which preceded the resumption of
specie payments was removed
