mac LESSON on A DECADE.

Gunton's magazine of this month
contains an interesting article en-
titled, warning From the Census"
It's purpose Is to show how certain
events affected the growth Of wealth
and the development of national pros
perity in this country during the years
from 1890 to 1900. Comparison is
made with the preceding decade and
a lesson is drawn Gor the ten years
through which we are now passing
From advance statistics 1t is shown
that our population increased, from
1890 TO 1900 20.7 per cent, which In
itself has no special significance until
compared with other features of our
national life. The social welfare Of
our people should be the chief con
sideretion. II this Is enlarged, then
industrial conditions have improved
and the principles Of government at
work are correct.
The decade suffered from one great
disturbing event that reduced general
averages and makes comparisons with
statistics of the previous ten years
unfavorable TO the closing decade Of
the nineteenth century. The change
of the industrial policy inaugurated
by the election of President Cleveland
in 1892 destroyed business confidence
and caused industrial havoc through
out the land. AS an economic object
lesson it was the most conspicuous in
our history. II demonstrated the dis
astrous effects that mistaken political
action can have on the prosperity OF
the country. The increase in the total
amount OF wages paid was 23.2 per
cent while the increase in the number
of WAGE earners was 25.2 per cent or
Sh per cent greater than that of the |
wages. This is emphasized by the
fact that the average wages In lS9O
were $444.S3 a year and S431.95 IN !
1900 or Is per cent less. Prices are
higher for given number OF neces' |
sary articles by is per cent, which |
makes the purchasing price OF days
labor 3.3 per cent less than IT was in
1890. II we compare the increase OF
the two decades in products we meet
with similar discouraging results. !
The total product in 1900 was only an
increase Of 39.1 per cent over that OF
1890 while that of 1890 had increased I
7451 per cent over that OF 1880. In
proportion to the population the
wealth product of 1880 was $lO7 per
capita; in 1890, $149, an increase OF
sac, and in 1900 It was $40, showing
an increase of only $21 per capita
The movement of wages in the two
decades is even more striking" con
tinues the writer in Gunton's.' The
number of laborers from 1880 to 1890
increased $55.61 per cent while the
local wages paid then increased 9S.o
per cent; where from 1890 TO 1900 me

WHAT WE NEED.

II. c. Breeder, a well-known bust

words that have application to every
town;

ber of laborers increased 25.2 per

creased 79 per cent during the first
faster than the number of laborers
while in the second the laborers in.
creased Ss per cent faster than the
wages. The increase of capital in
vested from 1880 to 1890 was 1899 per
cent as compared with 51.3 per cent
in 1880 to 1900. And so it appears
that the progress of the period from
1880 to 1890 was greater than the sue
ceeding ten years of which the nation
boasted as closing the most wonderful
century of the worlds history
What is the reason for this?" asks
Gunton's writer. WAS Mr.. Cleveland
less honest than his predecessors? ?
Not in the least. It was not a ques-
ton Of honesty or ability, but ques-
ton of policy. He was elected for
definite purpose Of changing the in
dustrial policy Of the nation" With
the passing of Cleveland and the de
feat of Bryan went the fear of free
trade and free silver. The nation
was inspired with business conf
dence. Mckinley represented a new
policy. We knew what to expect.
From that hour business revived and
the old order of progress was re-
sumed. If our statistics could show
the same rates of increase in wages
and industrial products for the first
half of 1890 TO 1900 the general aver
ages would be in advance of those
of the previous decade. And If the
present prosperous conditions con
tinue until 1910 the next census will
show a greatly improved condition of
public welfare.
