A QUIET REVOLUTION.
That Accomplished by the Introduction
All Sorts Of Machinery.
Danville, Ill.


That Accomplished by the Introduction of
All Sorts Of Machinery.
II may be said that we are living in the
life of machinery. The amount of labor
done by machinery is wonderful to think
about. 1t is revolutionizing the world, so
to speak of il.
Full hall of the trades that were carried
on half century ago has vanished away
and given employment to machinery or
become obsolete. In those good old DAYS
of half century ago the bricks were
moulded by hand clothing, boots, shoes,
hats, nails. ropes and nearly everything
necessary for the production of a happy
life was manufactured by hand, but now
the machinery is doing the work. In
many instances more than the work of
many thousand hands 10 done with ma
chinery, 10 a greater neatness than hands
could do. For instance. the cotton. which
required a pair OF hands day TO clean
single pound, now, alter the invention of
! Eli Whitney, tie machinery cleans hun
dreds of pounds per day.
True. many of the old trades still exist
but il is little more than the name. The
cooper who fifty years ago went through
with so many processes to produce a
barrel, now buys the stave. heads and
hoops already prepared bv machinery,
and has nothing to 10 but to drlve them
together. The shoemaker buys his pegs
and nails already made by machinery, the
blacksmith his iron already prepared for
use by machinery, and the carpenter has
little to do compared with fifty years ago.
The lumber is sawed, the siding planed,
so We see he has scarcely anything 10 do
but join and tit the prepared material to-
gether. Often houses are prepared by
machinery and sent hundreds of miles by
rail and set up ready 10 be occupied in
few hours alter il has reached its
destination. The gentleman halter has
disappeared. The gentleman tailor has
dropped his needle and gone to driving a
machine. The farmer has laid the reap
hook aside to drive the binder The old
! fails have kndled the kitchen fire to
make room for the threshing- IN aehine.
The cotton-pieksrs are lastly giving up
their fields to the new invented cotton
picker, and so on 10 an endless extent.
| No one can say that great good to the
country at large has not come OF the en-
ployment oil labor-saving machines. Ii
NAV have put the old tradesmen to some
/ inconvenience, but that. of course, could
not be helped. In many instances their
own conduct and outcry has caused the
inventor to invent the machinery that has
taken his trade away, but still there is
plenty of labor that they can do to keep
I the bowling wolf from the door. Capital
ists are we'll aware that machinery will
not cause a strike, although it may break
and give way, but it il soon replaced and
everything moves on nicely.
Many farmers hesitate to introduce new
machinery on the farm, out nevertheless
they lose the profit aud are compelled at
last 10 establish the new system.
Therefore let US employ all labor saving
machinery we can find useful and profit
able.
