the effect of labor saving machinery:
One nail machine has taken the place of
LOCO men.
Steel ties machinery produces a saving
of 500 per cent.
Typesetting machines effect an economy
OF $50 per cent.
Cotton printing machines have replaced
1 800 per cent of hand labor.
In the manufacture of paper 95 per cent
OF hand labor has been replaced.
One man does the work now of so
weavers who were required at the time of

One man and two boys do the work
which it required LOO spinners to do but
a small number of years ago.
One man now makes as much pottery
ware in the same time as 1000 could do
before machinery was applied.
BY tho use of machinery in loading and
unloading ships ono man can perform the
labor of 2, 600 working without its aid
One machine with one man as attendant
manufactures as many horseshoes in ono
