GROWTH OF CITIES.

One of the most interesting facts elic- tied by every census is the rapid growth of urban population as compared with the agricultural. With the expanding application of machinery to agriculture, the rate of this movement from country to city has been steadily increasing, not only in Europe, but in the United States, where bonndless fields are open to the professional farmer. Ten years ago our twen y largest cities had population of less than 6,10o,000 they have now s,750, ,O0O inhabitants. While the in- crease in these cities taken together has been 43 per cent, the gain of the whole country has been only about 35 per cent.
 But the most remarkable part of this phenomenon is that if we consider the growth of manufacturing industry 
 throughout the country we find that its relative growth in large cities has not been ill proportion to the increase of their populations, In other words. people have been less attracted to large cities by the enlarged field of employment consequent upon the development of manufacture therein, than forcibly driven to them by other circumstances. For various reasons an enormous portion of the new industries have been established in coun. try places, where the raw materials are

within easy reach, or where labor can be held in greater subjection. Were it not for this the growth of cities would be more rapid still than it is.
 Now, therefore, the question arises: How are the employments of this grow ing urban population distributed? There must evidenly be going on a material change in the ratio that the various occupations bear to each other in cities, the purely manufacturing growing less in proportion to the whole For a com- plete answer we must await the final returns of the census; but we may safely predict that they will show a considerable increase in the building trades, in commerce and transportation, in occupations productive of luxury and amusements, and especially in domestic service.
 They will not show, however, the fal more considerable increase in non-em ployment; that is, in misery, prostitu tion, and general degradation.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

It is a favorite reply to the claim that equal political rights will mean equal pay for men and women, to declare that wages are regulated by the law of sup ply and demand and that women are paid less than men for the same work because there are so many of them seeking employment
 In the first place this wellworn axiom is false in thousands of cases which there is no space to consider here. In the second place there are more men than women employed in most of the fields of labor where the sexes compete; so this cannot be held to explain the in- justice.
 Nor can it be claimed that women are less capable than men, for in many em- ployments their work is as good as or higher wages than they do. For in- stance, in the Treasury Department, in Washington, Mir. Spinner and other superintendents have borne testimony that the women are more dexterOus, more faithful, and more reliable than | the men; and yet the female clerk re. ceives $900 year, while her male companion gets $1 1,200.
 As school teachers women admittedly | excel men in thousands of cases, and yet they receive salaries averaging from one quarter to two-thirds those paid to men for teaching similar classes. | In type writing and stenography there is a constant discrimination against women. At the stenographic congress of '87, held in Chicago, a resolution was adopted that women should receive twenty five per cent. of the wages given to the men for the same amount of work, without any question of profici- ency.
 In hundreds of shops and factories girls are paid less for their work than | liEu " llo, CNCig ohC hho"5t Ho INV "o as well. l have seen a young woman in dry goods establishment, herself an excellent saleswoman, teaching "a green hand" his work. She received $5 a week, while he was paid $l0
 Evidently for some reason woman is held to be an inferior being in the world of labor. Is not that reason to be found in the fact that Government itself fixes a stigma upon her?
 The United States in it's departments, the States in their schools, discriminate against their women employees, in other words, their non-voting employees
 Whenever the State acknowledges the equality of it's citizens without regarc to sex, private business enterprises will do the same thing.
 This the Government, which is only : an aggregation of politicians, will never } do until women as well as men elect the officers.

LITERARY NOTES.

There are two books recentlypublished on the social question that should be criticized together, seing that, philo- sophically, both incur the same general error, and, while each presents wholly different panacea for the solution of the labor troubles, both are written with this ultimate aim in view.
 The first of these books is
 HIGHER GROUND. HINTS TOWARDS SETTLING THE LABOR TROUBLES. By Col. AUGUSTUS JACOBSON.
 Col. Jacobson recognizes the existence of conflict between Labor and Capital as irrepresslble as that between Freedom and Chatt9l Slavery generation ago. He points out how much money, blood, and treasure could have been avoided and saved respectively in the freeing of the blacks if the country had been wise enough to recognize the irrepressible- ness of that conflict and had sagely put It's hands into its pockets and bought 
 the freedom of it's slaves outright. By parity of reasoning he concludes that some timely expenditure and wise be. stowal of the nations wealth will in our own days accomplish what a similar course would have accomplished in the days of Lincoln. So far so good; but immediately thereupon the Colonel tumbles from his lofty perch by pro- posing that the wealth of the nation be in this instance applied to the establish ment, throughout the land, of schools l for manual training. Elevate, says the Colonel, the capacity of the pupils and add skill to their fingers, and the ques- tion is solved. The skilled artisan 1 graduated from school will, by reason of his supe rior ability, be Iaised above the necessity of competing for low wages with other unsklled workmen: and when all the workmen in the land shall be skilled operators it seems in credible in this year of grace to find such l economic logic propounded outside of i college or of the basement of Grace Church where Gunton is paid to bray

repeatedly insisted, and we again insist, l npon the necessity of giving the actual earnings of the year as well as the rate of weekly or daily wages; the latter being chiefly useful in determining the cost of production and ascertaining the respec. tive effects of competition, combination and other circumstances upon the rate of remuneration, whereas the first is one of the indispensable factors in ascertain ing the actual condition of the workers. This. of course, involves inquiry into the amount of enforced idleness; the very inquiry that our national legisla- tors have so thoughtfully and purpose ly eliminated from the census law.
 That part of the report which is, per haps, of most practical value consists of plain, terse and pointed remarks made by working women in reply to the in quiries of the Bureau. A weaver says: "With all the Improvements in machi- nery, in justice to women and children the working day should be shortened. | Women do not receive equal pay for equal work; under this system women are employed to the exclusion of men.
 We feel that electing legislators who are ever ready to do the bidding of the
 party boss or corporation is worse than
 useess.' Another declares that "there
 are very young children employed in
 all the factories of this section and some of them never see the inside of a school
 house, A drawer.in says that the wo-
 men are meanly underpaid; that the
 laws concerning the running time and
 the employment of children are con-
 stantly violated and openly defied. "Poor,
 young, weak little children, scantily
 clad in garments saturated with oil, are
 kept at work the entire year without
 intermission of even month for school.
 ing Several demand weekly payments,
 factory inspectors, etc. A number of
 cotton mill operatives observe that the
 child labor and ten hour laws are totally
 disregarded, that children years old
 are employed, that they must work from twenty-five to thirty minutes over time every day and at times until 10 p m., that they stand in rooms where steam is forced through the floor, keep ing their clothes wet all the time etc., etc.
 A tailoress strikes the keynote by : saying: "The only way to better tht condition Of the people IS to organize. But although there were in 1885, accord ing to the state census of that year 4,576 female wage-workers in Rhode Island as against 36, 479 males, there wa
 practically no labor organization of wo men, and few only of them were mem bers of trades unions and the K. of l. | The five associations for their benefi | were charitable affairs, of the kind the, 9 rightly despise.

GOOD PROSPECTS.

The Central Labor Federation IS at work Its representation was large from the start and will grow every week. More practical business was transacted at it's meeting last Friday than could have been disposed of in a month by the Central Labor Union since it had been turned into pandem onium by its politi- cal "workers"
 A commttee was appointed to draft an address, truthfully stating the causes of the split It is q notorious fact that the ran k and file of the trades heretofore represented by such men as Archibald and Conklin seldom get if ever, any information from their delegates, who, with a few cronies in their respective !. unions, assume dictatorial powers. At Ii its last meeting, for instance, the Build a ing Trades Section undertook to bull ,t doze the unions that might feel dis mposed to join the Central Labor Federation. A resolution was pas sed, threatening civil war among the economic organizations of la- bor. No honest wage-worker would C, fnr u1rh o ceeding, and it is safe to say that if the unions had been previously consulted by their respective bosses they would have repudiated the proposition. But the bosses act as they please, order "their men" about, and dispose of them to suit their own schemes This shall not be permitted to continue Labor must be organized on democratic prin- ciples and the bosses mu t go,
 It is safe also to predict, that, left to Dor Union will soon go to pieces, There are still some honest men in it, who un- fortunately could not rise above their old race prejudices, and who, when they saw the German delegates united against the boodlers of English speaking nativity, unwittingly sustained the lat thax .,Ir Ixy, ,fa, 4 tf,N,y , some impatience and disgust; they real ize the necessity of puriication, and the next attempt of the booders to "lead'' them must result in open rebellion.
 On the 10th inst. the Conference called by the Socialist Labor party will hold its first meeting. Under the cir cumstances it may be deemed wIse to simply take steps for more complete organization and for preliminary agita tion on large scale with this end ir view. There is growing desire among the working classes of this city for inde pendent political action. How to bring about the necessary unity is the ques tion. We have recently heard of move ment which may precipitate its solution if it Is as earnest and honest as it now appears to be. \ number of wage workers, belonging to various trades have requested the Nationalist Clubs t also call preliminary conference fol the 10th inst, with the expectation tha number of those who are not now ready 10 answer the call of the $. L. P may answer that of the Nationalists and that concerted acton may subse quentIy be secured through the same agency.

THE SCHOOL QUESTION.

TIE OIT1oOL IlOEC IOtN.
 We have at last the report of the Board of Education of the City of New York for 1889.
 It more than confirms and justifes the conclusions reached by the School Conference in its well-known report presented at the great mass meeting of February 12, 1890.
 The average attendance in the public day schools, which had increased only BOA in 1888 as compared with the pre- ceding year, actually decreased in 1890; so that, with an increase of popu- lation of about 120,000 in the past two years, 24,000 of whom were children between the ages of 6 and IA, there were fewer children at school in 1889 than in 1887.
 AS it appears, from the Census returns already compiled, that the population of New York city will net fall short of 1,S00,000, careful study of our educa. tional statistics, covering the public, corporate, private and parochial schools, reveals the stupendous fact that there are at least 150,O00 children of the metropolis, between the ages of and 14, who receive no education. The esti- mate of the School Conference was 100000 but, for obvious reasons, the computations of this body were very moderate.
 It must be observed that this decrease of attendance took place in year when 20,0 ,000 applicants were denied ad- mission, while at the same time the net increase of school accommodations by the erection of new buildings was S,093 sittings; which is explained partly by | the fact that the rule against overcrowd- ing was enforced in that year, and partly by the shifting of population from 1 the lower wards, where school accom-. modations appear to be sufficient, to the upper wards, where they are notoriously inadequate.
 Of course, much stress is laid in the report upon the aforesaid increase of school accommodations and the promise is made that every school site acquired last year will soon be utilized by the erection of eight new buildings. Bu even if the sitting capacity were steadily increased at the rate of 5000 year. al it was in 1s5S its insufficiency would go on increasing also, since the popula l tion of the city is advancing at the rat, of 60,000 year, 12,000 of whom ar, children between the ages of and 14.
 In the mere light of these figures tht school question is therefore assuming every day greater importance. It Ii evident that the equanimity of thu Board of Education has not yet beer seriously disturbed by the exposures 0 the School Conference. The politician and dillettanti who compose it are a blind as they ever were to the require ments of the situation and nothing vii bring them to a sense of their plail duty but a political upheaval, such as i is ln the power of the working peopl to produce if they will only unite ant
