Are We Making Progress Towards Equality Of
Opportunity!

Carroll d. Wright in the May Forum
Taking the whole number of persons
engaged in all remunerative or gainful
occupations, / find that in 1SG0 such per
sons constituted 90 10 per cent of the
whole population. In 1870 this percen-
tage had increased to 49, 43. in 1880 to
"a 6S, while in 1890 it was 81. 81. an in
crease of more than 10 per cent, relatively,
in one generation, the period from 1860
to 1890. This it should be borne In
mind. is the percentage Of the total num-
Der of persons engaged in gainful occupa-
tions of the total population. If we ex-
anime now the percentage which this to-
tai number Of persons engaged in all
gainful occupations is of the persons ten
years of age and over which is the truer
comparison, we find that the increase has
been as regular, but little greater, for
in 1860 it was 36.72, and in 1890, 419o,
an increase of over IL per cent, relatively
in the thirty years named. This fact alone
ii seems to me, answers concluslvely anu
definitely te question we are considering.
If the total number of persons engaged I'D
gainful occupations stood still relative TO
the population, the argument would not
be so clearly carried, but with constant
and persistent increase in the relative
proportions of this class of people to the
whole number of population, and to the
whole number ten years of age and over
there can be no other answer than an
affirmative one. These figures prove
conclusively that we are not only mahlng
real progress toward greater opportu-
nifty, but toward greater equality OF
opportunity in social and industrial me-
and they completely kill all arguments
made to prove that machinery-the lnllu-
ence of nvention-displaces labor, so far
as society as a whole is concerned. IL
would be absurd to argue for a single
moment that the introduction OF 1nachl-
merry has not in many instances displaced
individuals and reduced them not only 10
relative poverty but to pauperism. Ihe
answer cannot well be made to the indl-
vidual, but the facts cited prove that SO
far as the whole body of the people is con-
cerned, there is no such displacement ,
and study of the expansive influence OF
machinery and invention by the statistical
method further proves the value OF the
argument The vast number of new
openings, never known before, resulting
from inventions, offers the best proof IN
this direction, and it offers, too, proof that
one line of opportunity will be abandoned
when another of more profitable nature
opens.

"Three evenings with silver and money.
The talk of four neighbors about money
and silver" is the title Of neat pamph-
let recently issued. 1t is just the kind of
treatment the present money controversy
demands, if the somewhat abstract ideas
are to be presented to the general public
in a way that the latter may understand
them. This pamphlet is made up from
the articles which appeared under this
head in the Saturday evening editions of
the Lewiston Journal We wish it
could be read by every voter in tho coun-
try. 1t Is an admirable presentation of
the arguments for fiat silver and the
unanswerable replies to them.

does he permit his face 10 relax into a

mention.
