Never With Equitable Distribution of

Never With Equitable Distribution Of
the Products of Labor.
A computation made by statistician
recently shows that IL the population
of the world, now estimated at LASS
millions, increases in the same ratio
as heretofore, 1894 millions of people
will be the limit the earth can provide
food for. This limit will be reached
in 1872 years-in the year 2,079. From
this on, the statistician AYERS, human
beings would perish by the millions for
want OF food. Similar statements have
been made time and again, says the
Coming Nation, not only in regard to
the food supply, but also that of the
raw materials necessary for raiment,
shelter and articles of general use.
Happily, they never coincided. So far
this terrestrial globe has provided am
pie food to insure the human race
against starvation; and clothes and
shelter also have not been lacking. Con-
trary to all such arguments new
sources Of the necessaries of life have
constantly been discovered, even to
such an extent as to satisfy the most
pretentious wants Of man. But in
spite OF the fact that the human race
has become wealthier in every decade.
misery and distress became more gen.
eral and widespread; because all the
riches that human ingenuity and labor
have discovered and wrought from
mother earth has accumulated and been
beneficial to the few only.

Darwin and other naturalists have
believed that the bright colors OF flow-
ers serve to attract insects. Professor
Plateau Of Ghent disagrees with this
opinion, and thinks that the sense Of
smell Is the one Chiefly concerned In
causing insects to frequent certain
lowers, He finds that the removal Of
the brilliant petals Of flowers to which
insects are accustomed to resort does
not decrease the frequency .of their
visits. and on the other hand, that
when honey Is placed on flowers which
are naturally scentless. insects imme-
diately begin to dock to them.

But Has the Laborer Received Any of
the Benefits?

But Has the Laborer Received Any of
the Benefits?
In the manufacture of boots and
shoes the work of 500 operatives is now
done by 100.
In making bread boxes three workers
can do the work Of thirteen box-mak-
ers by old methods.
In cutting out clothing and cloth caps
with dies one worker does the work Of
three by old methods.
In leather manufacture modern
methods have reduced the necessary
number of workers from to so per
cent
A carpet measuring and brushing
machine with one operator will do the
work OF Is men by the old methods.
IN the manufacture of -four modern
improvements save rs per cent OF the
manual labor that once was necessary.
In making tin cans one man and
BOY with modern appliances can do
the work Of ten workers by the old
process.
BY the use of coal-mining machines
l60 miners in a month can mine as
much coal in the same time as 500 min
ers by the old method.
One boy by machinery in turning
woodwork and materials for musical
instruments performs the work of rs
men by the old methods.
The horse power of steam used in
the United States on railways, steamers
and in factories and mines was in 1888
12.1OO,OO0, against 100000 in 1850.
In the manufacture OF brick improved
devices save one-tenth of the labor, and
IN the manufacture of fire brick 40 per
cent OF the manual labor is displaced.
In stave-dressing, twelve co-laborers
with a machine, can dress 10000 slaves
in the same time that the same num-
Der of workers by hand could dress e.
500 slaves.
In mailing on shoe heels, one worker
and boy, with machinery. can heel
800 pair Of shoes per day. It would
require five workers to do the same by
hand.
IN the manufacture Of carriages it
used to take one man IS days to make
a carriage. 1t is now made, by the
aid OF machinery, with the work Of
one man. in twelve days.
In the cotton mills In the United
States, the manual labor has been re-
duced about so per cent. Now one
weaver manages from two to ten looms,
where one loom was formerly tended
by one worker.

from which goods will be shipped un-

No Special Privileges,

The constitution endows the govern
ment with the sole and exclusive right
to create money. This has been so de-
cided by the Supreme Court of the
United States. The law makes Il a
crime for any other power to create
money. The spirit OF this law is yio-
lated in the issuing Of bank currency.

should that power be delegated to the
