and children at less than the average
wages brings down the income OF the man.
If women are to be employed at all. they
should be paid as men are, for what they
do; and children should be ruled out Of the
whole matter.
II has been suggested that II we deprive
the poor man of the money which he might
receive for the child's work. and send that
child to school for several years when it
might be contributing two or three dollars
a week to the family treasury, he ought to
be paid for the loss. 1t is possible that.
II competition grows much sharper, some
thing Of the sort may be necessary; but it
is not likely; for where children are kept
out OF competition with adults. wages usu-
ally reach a reasonable height. With strict
economy. an able-bodied man can take care
of family on the average labOTer's wages,
and there are numerous ways IN which
children can earn OF save money. and still

ChUdren's Labor.

II is alleged by the American Journal

In some States children under thirteen

II may be we'll to remember that any leg
islation against the employment Of chill
dren in factories, mines and other trades
is a thing Of very recent date. Until the
agitation in England, in which Lord
SALISBURY took a prominent part, little
children were forced to work in factories
and coal mines, and made TO serve as
chimney sweeps, to say nothing Of the Ia
boriOus life which apprentices and errand
boys sometimes led. There was probably
