Rise Of Wages In a Decade.

An interesting comparison between the
average wages paid in 1880 to persons
employed in the manufacturing and mechan-
ical industries of this country, and those
paid in 1890, is made by Commissioner
Carroll ID. Wright in recent bulletin of
the Department of Labor. His figures
show that the average wages paid employees
in the manufacturing and mechanical indus
tries amounted to $347 per annum in 1880,
and that the average product per employe
amounted to 81, 1,965; in 1890 the figures
were $445 and 81, 2,204, respectively. From
these figures some argue that S445 went to
the employe, $1,759 went to the employer.
AS matter OF fact, of the total product
per capita, 2O.1S per cent went to labor,
55.OS per cent for materials, and 24.74 pc,
cent to miscellaneous expenses, salaries,
interest, profits, etc. This shows conclu.
sively that in the aggregate labor gets its
due share Of the net earnings.
These figures further show in genera
way that the average wages earned by fac
tory employees rose from $347 in 1880 te
$445 in 1890, and that the value of the
annual product of their labor rose from
81 ,965 per capita in 1880 to $2,204 pc,
capita in 1S9o-dsposing of one favorite
argument of the silverites against the main
tenance Of the gold standard. Not only
isiabor better paid than it was in 1880,
but its product brings more money, even
under the reign Of lower prices; and, con.
sequently, the workingman both gets more
dollars for his work aud more OF the fruit.
of that work for his dollars.

Advertising Does Pay.

The largest and best advertisers in town
invariably tell us that they are pleased
with the results of their advertisements in
the TINES. That it also pays small and
transient advertisers we have abundant
proof, especially in results from business
notices Guardian advertised twice for
place for one of his wards; the result
was dozens of replies. E. j. Planter put
in two inch double column advertisement
and business notice one time last week and
has had many replies and is pleased with
result.
Many more instances can be cited to
prove that advertising does pay if in the
TINES The rate of business notices is
low, two cents word, or 15 cents line,
so that farmers, etc., can afford to use the
paper.
If you have anything to sell, try a little
two line advertisement.
+. II. Kimball advertised part of house
for rent and had good number of appli

New York Sun and Senator Chandler.

Speaking of the more or less prevalent
belief that Senator Chandler while openly
espousing the cause of Reed is secretly
furthering his own ambitious schemes, the
New York Sun says:
Even if it were supposable that Mr..
Chandler is scamp enough to play the false
friend to Reed of Maine with a view to
| furthering his own ambition or of helping
along silver, it is not supposable that he is
fool enough TO adopt the very means surest
to defeat his purpose. Many harsh and
generally unjust estimates of Senator
| Chandler have been expressed from time
to time by those who have felt the sting OF
his tongue; but we don't believe his worst
enemy considers him a fool.
How much simpler and more satisfactory
to adopt the explanation which the facts
plainly suggest, If Mr.. Chandler ever
entertained the ambition to be vice presi-
dent, it was cheerlully laid aside long age
for the sake of New England and New
England's candidate for president. Hi:
financial opinions he is ready to subordi
nate to the prevailing sentim, mt oil his par
of the country. He is Loyalty and trul,
for Reed and against Mckinley up to thu
time when the St. Louis convention shal
name the ticket but at Concord the othe
day he encountered unforeseen condition
of serious and surprising nature, and 60
little tangled up on the question of tao
teal management; and since then he ha
said and written things which may seem Z
some people injudicious, but which are il
no sense discreditable to him as loys
friend or a man of honor
