The hours of labor are given for 1850.
1860, 1870, 1880 and 1890, and the most
cursory examination Of the figures con
vinces that as the decades of years have
passed there has been a general shrink
ing Of the working day. On the whole
there was but little shrinkage between
1850 and 1850; that was a stagnant and
transitional time in the trade and indus
try Of the country. The greatest shrink
age happened about 1s70-which, it is
well to remark, wa the time of our
highest manufacturing and agricultural
prosperity-and between 1880 and 1890,
when certain new social forces-as, for
instance, popular STRAIGHTFORWARD begun
10 tell.
On looking closer it will be found that
the shrinkage has been much more gen
eral and TO a greater extent than has been
commonly supposed. 1t will be seen,
moreover, that the greatest reduction
has come to pass in industries that have
been affected by powerful trades unions,
and the least in those that have had lit
tie or no union at all. For instance, the
Northumberland colliers. who have a
powertuland complete organization. nave
abridged their working week for 'hew-
ers" from sixty hours in 1860 to thirty
eight hours in 1890, and for boys from
seventy-two to thirty-twO and a half:
while agricultural laborers-save in the
Ulceby district OF Lincolnshire, where
there has been for years a kind of la
borers' union-and railway men. who
have made but sporadic and i'll devised
attempts at combination. have much the
same length Of working day now as they
a thirty years ago. National Oh

you have a bilious look. if your stomach

pinched look. Secure good health and
