Women and Children workers.

The war for children, which was a
holy crusade against wealth and greed.
has been well nigh won. Though the
children are still crying, as Elizabeth
Barrett Browning heard them gener-
alton ago. it is now q softened wall,
and her brothers have also heard, and
in nearly every state of the Union the
factory legislation of England has been
used as the model for their defense
from undue toll, writes the Rev. Sam
uel q. Smith in Harper's Magazine.
The result of the agitation and legis
lation of the past 20 years in this coun-
try is clearly seen in the large reduc-
ton of the number of children employ
ed in gainful occupations. In 1850 of
all the children between the ages of 1C
and - years II per cent We're employ
ed In 1880 the number was only 81 :.
per cent. Reformers when they heard
the result of their labors felt it wa>
good to live in IA world that could i'm
prove SO much in a single decade.
But unfortunately, as too often Oc
ours in human affairs. the improve
ment is more apparent than real. fol
while the children between 10 and Il
have received some protection the re-
morseless machine of business has
been securing in their stead an enor-
nous increase in the employment of
young girls between II and Is years Of
age Indeed the most significant fact
of the decade from 1885 to 1888 was
the augmented burden placed upon the
grlhood of the nation.
