such articles as could be produced in

three times their present prices. There
does not appear TO be any counteracting
force to this law of concentration in the
industrial world. On the contrary, the
active forces at work seem to demand
greater and greater output or turnover
from each establishment in order that
the minimum of cost should be reached.
Hence comes the rapid and continuous

CONTRASTING TENDENCIES.
Our Farms Are Subdividing, Our
Great Industries Concentrating,

From Andrew Carncyie's 'Thc Empire of Bus.
ness.
Labor is divided into two great ar
| mies-the agricultural and the indus
trial. In these diverse forces are in
operation. In the former everything
tends to a further distribution of land
among the many; in the latter every
thing tends to a concentration of busi-
ness in the hands of the few. One
of the two great fallacies upon which
progress and POverty"-Mr. Georges
book--is founded, is that the land is
getting more and more into the hands
OF the few. Now the only source from
which Mr.. George could obtain correct
information upon this point is the CEN
sus, and this tells us that in 1850 the
average extent of farms in he United
States was 2OS acres; in 1860, 1919 acres;
in 1870. 133 acres, and that in 1880 it
was still further reduced to 134 acres
The reason is obvious for this rapid
distribution of the land. The farmer
who cultivates a small farm by his own
labor is able to drive out of the field
the ambitious capitalist who attempts
to farm upon Il large scale with the
labor of others. In Great Britain moth
ing has been more significant than that
the tillers of small farms have passed
through the agricultural depression
there far better than those who culti-
waited large farms. So in both coun-
tries we have proof that under the
free play of equal laws land is becom-
ing more and more divided among the
masses of the people. In the whole
range of social questions no fact is more
important than this. and nothing gives
the thoughtful student greater satis-
faction. The triumph of the small pro-
prietor over the large proprietor insures
the growth and maintenance of that
element in society upon which civiliza-
tion can securely depend, for there is
no force in a nation so conservative of
what is good so fair, so VII. as, as u
race of men who till the soil they own
Happily for mankind experience proves
that man cannot work more soil pro-
htably than he can till himself with the
aid of his own family.
When we turn to the other army of
labor-the industrial-we are obliged
to confess that it is swayed by the
opposite law, which tends to concen-
trate manufacturing and business af-
fairs generally in a few vast establish
ments. The fall in prices of manufac-
tmed articles has been startling. Never
We're the principal articles of consump-
tion so low as they are today. This
cheapening process is made possible
only by concentration We find 1,70O
watches per day turned out by one
company, and watche are sold for
few dollars apiece. We have mills max
