he Unemployed.
From the Boston Herald

From the Boston Herald
Ihe special report recently made by
Colonel Carroll d. Wright. based upon the
census returns of 1890 of the number of
the unemployed in this country. forms an
exceedingly interesting and instructive ex-
niplt FROM this report it appears that
there We're in 1880 q, ,735 661 persons. 10 wears

gainful occupations. OF these 1881 go were
males, and 3,9l4,51 were females OF this

or total of 1898, ,730 persons, were employ
ell at their principal occupations during
scme part OF the census year ending May
81. 1880. By making an analysis of those
who We're unemployed from one 10 three
months, from four to six months and from
seven to twelve months, it is found that
there was an equivalent of l, ,lS9 900 persons
unemployed during the entire twelve
months. OF this $4,000 We're men, and 167,-
cO women. This. of course, is a general
estimate drawn from a very careful enum-

ierces. but 1t forms, it need hardly be said.
a basis OF fact which will be of value for
future social and industrial comparisons.
Inc census year was normal year, so
far as industry is concerned, and hence.
1t may be concluded that in a normal year
apout . per cent of our people are con-
stantIy unemployed. This is due to a great
variety of reasons, among which are sick
Hess, ihcapaclty, dissipation, overproduc-
ton in certain departments of industry
necessitating a temporary cessation of
work, changes in methods of production,
which throw out those who had previously
been employed, strikes or lockouts, rest
lessness and a desire to change; all OF
these are contributing causes. And when
one takes his personal experiences into ac-
count, 1t does not seem that the idleness
OF . per cent OF the workers of this coun-
try is an extraordinary percentage, or one
that any social or industrial community
could materially modify. There are, no
doubt, times when this number is greatly
increased, as, for example, during the last
fall and summer, or during the business
depression OF 1898. In fact, we should not
be surprised If it could be shown that dur
ing these terms the number Of the unem-
ployed had been twice as large as the nor
NAL average-a fact which should be borne
in mind as indicating the immense effect
that want of business confidence has upon
the welfare Of hundreds OF thousands of
workers

Taken Out of Politics.

From the Boston Herald.
However desirable it may be to have the
currency question taken out of politics,
there is no way of bringing this about un-
less by the adoption of a currency system
SO sound and beneficial that it will win
and hold public favor on Its merits. No
doubt the construction of such a system
is a difficult task, but 1t is not at all be-
yond performance. We may well say SO,
for the work was most successfully ac-
complished in England some fifty years
ago. and we have a firm conviction that
what British brains could do two genera
tions back the keen American intellect of
the present day is quite competent to
achieve.
The English currency system, framed In
1874, has worked so satisfactorily that
though for time 1t was sharply criticised
both in parliament and in financial circles,
1t is now accepted almost as law of
nature. 1t rests so securely upon the
solid foundation of its deserved popularity
that no party leader in the British house
of commons is willing to incur the odium
which would attach to a serious proposal
to disturb 1t. Since its adoption its
strength has been rudely tried. and has al
ways borne the strain, not only in safety,
but with ease. A1oored to gold payments
by this fiawless cable, English business has
passed through many perilous complica-
tions. The Crimean war. the great mutiny
In India, the potato famine in Ireland the
cotton famine in the United States, and
financial panics both at home and abroad.
have assailed the present currency system
of England with varying degrees of Sc
verify, but none of them has for an instant
had the power to shake it, either prac-
tically or sentimentally. 1t has steadily
made good its footing in public favor, and
secured a position so plainly beyond chaI-
lenge that for many years in England the
currency question has been taken out of
politics and kept there.

Mckinley in Great Britain.
From the Chicago Tim.s-Herald,

loiii Tie NHlCdeO lln~S-tteTaiC.
Coincident with the boom in American
trade which is commented upon in the
English journals and whicn is quite gen.
orally attributed to the election of McKin-
ley, there is noted a very marked revival
of protection sentiment in Great Britain.
Unless all the signs of the times fail the
English government will soon have to deal
with virulent outbreak of protection en-
thusiasm among its own adherents. There
are multiplying evidences that the rank
and file of the Unionist party are growing
more and more protectionist A marked
indication of this tendency was the unani-
nous decision of the Tory caucus sitting
at Rochedale last week, to favor reimpos-
ing a registration duty of l shilling on
corn. 1t is even now hinted that aggres-
sive and earnest measures will be made
to induce the chancellor of the excheuuer
to include this proposal in the budget of
1887 While the free traders will doubtless
oppose it from principle it is believed that
such an opportunity to swell the receipts
by couple of million pounds sterling will
finally reconcile them to the measure.
In the meantime the dairy and agricult-
ural interests in Ireland and Scotland are
clamoring for protection against the cheap
products of the peasantry Of other lands
which are allowed to come in free for the
benefit of the rich manufacturers and land
lords, who are anxious to keep the neces-
while they at the same time demand free
access to the markets Of the world for the
products of their mills.
The English have also discovered that
1t is vastly more important for their in
terests to have prosperity in the United
States than financial depression. Amer
lean trade is barometer Of the worlds
commerce. When business is good with
the United States Il is good everywhere.
1t is highly probable that the people of
such cities as Bradford. Leeds and Man
chester have learned that when the peo-
pie of the United States are under tariff
law which closes the mills there are no
buyers for the surplus goods of Europe
The American market Is of no benefit to
them If our people are unemployed. They
prefer to run the chances Of brisk COM
petition in the American market rather
than go through another period Of Amer
lean industrial depression.
The mutations OF time have wrought
some strange revelations in English senti-
ment. Instead Of regarding Major Nc
K!nley as a menace 20 British Industrial

the great economic issues represented by

This change of English sentiment from
hostility to unqualified praise. whether ac-
tuated by new and suddenly discovered
considerations Of self-interest or by hon.
est admiration for the president-elect and
his policies. Is nevertheless a gratifying
auEury of increasing amitv and good will
between the two great nglish-speaking
nations.
