740, TAI, 742, 743. of the first volume oi
the report Of 1891. Any one who
has access to these reports may read
lily verify the figures and see that
the selections we have made are fan
better than the average. We are
willing to be more than far in this
presentation, for the showing is bad
enough at the best.
Now suppose we grant that the
daily wages paid for time actually
employed were higher than they
were years ago. Is 1t not clear that
the time lost by all employees more
than Compensates for any nominal
increase that has occurred in the
daily wage? This loss of time Is not
peculiar to the branches of labor Sc
lected. Take Mr.. WrighPs tables
and follow them through every
branch of our manufacturing indus
tries, and through every department.
Of labor in each industry, and it will
be seen that we have been more than
fair in the selections we have made.
While the daily wage may have in
creased, therefore, the annual earn
ingS are less than they were years
ago, owing to the great loss Of time.
We shall do no more than merely
hint at the reasons why SO much time
is lost. Not entering into details,
it may be said, (1) that the general
depression that has prevailed for
many years has naturally reduced
the demand for all kinds of pro-
ducts: and, ~ the introduction Of
improved machinery has not only dis
placed hand labor, but has rem
dered possible the production of the
necessary output in less time than
under the former methods. This
displacement Of hand labor, and in
creased productive power Of mschin-
cry, have operated, under the exist.
ing system of production, invariably
to the disadvantage of labor.
But the conditions to which we
have thus far alluded apply to labor
ers who have employment. What
of those who have been altogether
displaced by improved machinery
aud in consequence of the diminished
demand for products? Are these
not to be taken into account when
calculating the general wages of
lsborG What would the average
wa % be now If the millions of Wnem-
plOyed were added to those who
haze employment and the sum total
paid for labor were divided among
the whole numbers
The claim that all Of this enforced
idleness has been brought about since
the late defeat of the republican
party is not worthy of one moments
serious consideration. The figures
we have gwen relative to: those who
are employed belong to the period to
which our republican friends point
as the most prosperous in the his

Looking at North Carolina.

Il is one of the signs of the times
that three special sleepers, containing
90 farmers from California, Colorado,
Illinois, and other States, passed
through Goldsboro Thursday, carrying
their passengers to Mt Olive and to the
section about Wilmington where they
will prospect with the view of locating
These people are of the sort that we
need and want, and their coming to see
is another proof of the fact that there
was never a time when so many eyes
were turned upon North Carolina as
are now-the eyes of farmers, manufac-
turers, miners and OF men OF nearly all
occupations. OF late years the western
part Of the State has surpassed the east
ern in material advancement, but the
time is coming when they will be the
equals in the race for wealth. What
the east lacks of other resources that
the west has it makes up in the wealth
of its water. and in its amazing capaci-
tv for profitable trucking. We delight
to publish often the stories OF the I'M
n;ense catches of the eastern fiehermen
and of the profits made by the eastern
trrckers-sOme of the stories read like
fables; the figures are almost lncredi-

lnstance-a very interesting one too
of the great variety Of interests which
mark the progress of the State. It is
said that there are but three primary
sources of wealth the earth, the forests
and the waters Surely North Carroll
ma is rich in all these and with them

Illinois, came here erected him rude
little house on the banks OF the ma
jestlc Roanoke, just below the old boat
landing, near ihe mills. This man is
a fisherman, and by his unique con
trlvances he manages to take large
numbers of the fnnv tribe from the
water daily. He has eighteen large
balloon, or hoop nets set in the river
and into these the fish run with ease,
but when they try to get out again,
they finc that that is altogether an
other matter. In the words of cele-
brated colored politician, "it can't be

The lone fisherman has also con-
structed boxes or coops, which he
keeps in the river. Into these cOops
he puts his fish where they remain as
lively as if they had the run of the en-
tire river. He ships large lots of them
to different points, and really appears
to enjoy his lonely little dwelling

White House Receptions.

Large numbers of people always attend
the card receptions at the White House
without invitations, but the practice was
never so general as it has been this year.
Last night, at the army and navy recep-
ton, there must have been a hundred or
more guests who were not expected and
who forced their way in without inter-
ference from the ushers and guards. Many
OF them were well-known citizens of
Washington, who are perfectly familiar
with the customs and regulations that
govern official entertainments. They ap-
peared IN full dress and seemed to feel at
ease. The remainder were evidently
strangers, probably tourists or visitors to
the city, who could not resist the tempta-
tlon, even In violation of the laws of pro-
pretty, to see the President and his lovely
wife in their best raiment and surrounded
by the prominent official families of Wash
ington; This class of people could be de-
tected by their manifest lack of familiarity
with the rules of the White House and the
garments they wore. Most OF them were
dressed in ordinary street clothing.-Chi.

In the spring young mans fancy
lightly turns to thoughts of love, but in
the spring the older man, who owns a lot
at Sausalito or on the splendid heights of
Belvedere, thinks of building a house.
The thrill OF great expectations has
entered into the daily life of all the subur-
ban resorts adjacent to San Francisco, and
the carpenter and the painter and the

main artery that is pulsing with new
signs of spring preparations for a big sum

craft of every kind, indicating their annual
overhauling, while the eyrie palaces and

the face of its precipitous hills are almost
without exception enjoying the same ex-
perience.
