FACTORY WAGES IN RUSSIA.
Barely Sufficient to Keep Soul and Body
a,S-.,- TOgether. ~. --

AS for the distribution of wages, the
pay of a woman amounts to three-quar-
ters of that Of a man, that of a, boy or;
girl of IL to II years to one-half, that of
child under IL years, to one-third of a
grown mans wages, says the Catholic
World. The advantage arising for the
factories from women's and children's
wages is such that no humanitarian at
tempts have been as yet able to solve
that harassing problem in any civilized
country. But as the wages of working
men in Russia are absolutely reduced to
a. minimum and scarcely sufficient to
keep soul and body together for more
than 10 hours toll it is a cruel amid
gross injustice to cut working women's
wages by a, third, since the first neces-
saries of life are alike in men and WON
en- regardless of sex. The monthly
wages of an adult laborer, man or wom-
!, an in England are 21s (124O5 per
cent? , in America 4 As (379.14 per cent. J,
times greater than the wages Of a like
! laborer in the Moscow factories. Since,
however, the duration of working time
in the three countries is different, Mr..
EDementief has reduced the compare
son Of wages per hour and come to the
conclusion that wages in England are
BY 284.5 per cent, in Massachusetts by
ii&423 per cent. higher than those in the
Moscow factories. II we make a good
allowance for the higher cost Of living
III America hich, however, is to be
understood cum 6 grano sails, only the
Injuries Of life being dearer here; not
the necessaries, like meat, -four, bread,
still no comp rison can be drawn be-
tween the mode of living Of an Ameri-
can and a Russian laborer. rs

The Grand Marais Herald says that
there is talk Of a petition being laid be-
fore the county board asking thata tight
board fence be built along the highways
in order that people may not wander off

But possibly that would not afford the

fund to be divided among the counties
OF st. Louis, Lake and Cook, SO the wise
heads of the legislature. decided chat it
would be better to place the whole
amount on the Crow Lake road, in St.
Louis county. IF the fund was divided
it would amount to nothing for any of
the counties, and would spoil our chances
for an appropriation IN the future.

the Industrious citizen. -:
They do not ask that the holder of idle
land be subjected to cumulative tax, as
was done four years ago in New Zealand;
but they do ask that he who puts his
land to. use shall no longer have his taxes
increased for every Improvement made.
