THE WORLD GROWING BETTER. The People As a Whole Infpitely Better
 of Than a Century Aeo


 That the world is constantly grow ing better is evident to any observer who will take the trouble tc ,oek about him and compare present conditions with those existing a century ago. II contribution to New York paper this fact IS strongly brought out by Prof. John Bach MrMaster, the we'll known historian. 4 century ago, says the professor, labor was performed iD the south almost exclusively by slaves, and in the north largely by "redemp- tioneTs," who were in effect temporary slaves. When the redemptioner finally got his freedom he had to work for wages thhat would barely sustain life; or he had the alternative of pressing stern nature and bloodthirsty sayages Tor the right to live. And woe be to the poor wretch who fell sick and got into debt. In New York as late as 1816 there Were 1854 persons jailed for debt, and 129 Of these owed less than s25 each. and had been imprisoned for spite" Today tie Eorkingman no longer tolls from sunrise to sunset, as he did then. He is 10 longer subject to Imprisonment for honest debt Wages a century agc were paid when the employer pleased. Now they are paid daily or weekly, and ths Iaborer is protected by lien laws Railroads and machinery have enabled him to eat better food and wear better clothes than ever before. Increased blessings Se .i Il

Diseases once the seourge Of the world are feared 10 more. 4 face pitted with smallpox is as rare now as it was common a century ago. Yel' low fever and cholera have lost their terrors with the increase Of cleanliness Anesthetics have almost annihilated pain. Cheap books, magazines and newspapers have made ignorance and narrow-mindednes the badges of dis, grace. Cruel punishmeEts are aban. doned and spirit of humanity and charity peryades the thought and the activities of the civilized world Prof. McMaster may well remark that the nan who can contemplate these ihanges and still be pessiuist is men, tally diseaSr
