American politics and economies and
what IS the best thing 10 do The cir
cular goes on further TO say that the
country IS "in the midst OF important
changes in political issues and parties and
social and industrial conditions and il is
felt that a frank and friendly interchange
Of opinion on the part OF thoughtful and
serious men may lead TO united effort and
efficient action I'm important directions"
A large number Of well known and dis
unguished citizens have signed the cir
cular. ammong whom We note. first of all,
Hon Hazen S. Pingree, Governor of
Michigan; Hon, George D. Heron, Pro-
lessor Of Applied Christianity at Iowa

WAGES IN 1870 AND 1903.

Tho Norfolk virginian-Pilot has been
punching holes In an article which APP
/ pcared IN these columns some time ago
with reference 10 wages in 1870 and wages
now. In this article we showed that ac-
cording 10 statement recently sent out
by the United States Department OF La
Dor. the average wages Of blacksmiths.
boilcr-makers. bricklayers. cabnet-mak-
crs. carpenters. composiiors, hod-caTriers,
iron-moulders. machinists, painters and
plumbers in twelve Of the largest cities
OF the United States were larger in 1855
than they were in 1870. three years before
the crime OF rs"
In tho course Of its reply TO this, our
Norfolk contemporary says:
The first thing TO be remarked Is that
the period between 1870 and 1Sls Is twen-
ty-eight years. And why not take 1872. in
stead OF 1870? Next on adding up tho
rates for $50. as given the aggregate is
5000. while the aggregate for 1N9S-twen-
ty-cight years after-is only S2S@-or CO
cents less than for 1870. How Is that?
Both The Times and the Spirit Of the
Valley say that the wages iu lS9S were
higher in every instance than IN 1870. oX-
cept in one case: but in looking over the
figures. as given. we find them lesser
in four trades the same I'm one. and
though higher I'm seven Instances. yet
in the aggregate GO cents a day less!
To the first inquiry. we reply that the
year 1870 was selected by us for the
purpose OF comparison. because that
was the year selected by the department
in Washington. rather than the year
ls72
To the second question we reply that
the discrepancies which our contempt
rary's eagle eve has discovered are due
10 typographical errors in the figures.
We have before ms the same report. and
we assure the Virglnian-Pilot that the
figures bear US out in the statement that
"the average wages I'm every solitary in
stance cited save one. were higher in
1898 than they were in 1870 three years
before the so-called demonetization of
silver" This is such an interesting sub
ject that We have taken the trouble to
reproduce the figures, and we hope this
time that the types will take no liberties
with them In 1870 the average pay Of
blacksmths i'm twelve cities Of the United
States was S2f3. I'm 1898 S2431-9: black
smiths helpers In 1870. H401-i. in 1888
tl52 ii; boiler-makers in 1870 1888 Ia, in
1S9S $2561-2: boiler-makers helpers in
$50 $1.n. in 1898 s1531-4: bricklayers I'm
1870 S3.15 IA. in 1898 sS5l ga cabinet
makers in 1870 s21f in 1895 1929 IA: car
penters in 1870 1926 81. in 1898 $3.50 "a:
compositors ia 1870. s2.52 Ia. in 1885
S2N -: hod-carrlers in 1870. Sl75 IA in
1858. $500 -; iron-moulders in 1870. S2.GO1-2
I'm 1895 $3.50 II; machinists in 1870, $2.3Ol-4.

I'm 1895 $3.50. plumbers in 1870 S2.74 1-2, IN
1895 g3l5l-2
Thus, 10 carry out the Virginian-Pilots
idea on adding up the rate for 1870. the
aggregate is $3.50 IA. while the aggre-
gate for 1895 is 1861 10 or $275 II more
wages than in 1870.
We know what IS proverbially said
about the mendacity of statistics. but
We must take fl for granted that the
governments figures are reliable.
