ELIHU ROOT, Secretary of State.
IabOr,s share i'm PrOsuerity


The United States bureau of labor has
issued a report on the cost of living,
wages and hours Of labor covering a six
teen-year period beginning with 1890 and
ending with 1905. The figuring shows
that, although the prices of many staple
commodities have gone up, the purchasing
power of average wage for a shorter
weeks work has risen appreciably. For
instance comparing the average wage
per hour in 1905 with that of 1894, it
appears that there has been an increase
of 30 per cent, while the average num-
Der of hours WORK per week has de-
creased 80. Thus these figures show that
the average wage Garner with shorter
hours makes 1851 per cent more than he
did in 1894. The estimate of the cost of
food is based upon the average family
consumption in 2,567 workingmen's fam
lilies. According to this, the price of food
has increased 12.7 above 1890 and 9.S per
cent above 1894 Thus the average wages
would seem to purchase a. per cent more
food in 1905 than in 1894 and 81 more
than in 1890. At the same time, these
statistics show that the number employed
has. increased ~ per cent over 1894 and
400 over 1890. Thus the total amount
paid in wages has been increased 65.7
per cent since 1894.

CORTELYOU ASKS MILLIONS.
Ubges Congress TO Give Postoffice De-
partment S15.o0O.OOO More,


Postmaster General Cortelyou has
submitted to the Secretary of the
Treasury for transmission to Congress
estimates for the postoffice department
and the postal service for the coming
fiscal year. The amount asked for sal
aries in the postoffice department in
Washington is s1,52S,92O, being a net
increase of S121, $50 over the appropria-
ton for the current year, while the
amount asked for the maintenance of
the postal service is S206. &C.. 100, a net
increase over the present appropriation
of S15,OOO,OOO.
The estimates last year were about
S12,00OOOO in excess of the appropria-
ton for the year before, so that the in
crease this year is about 100000
more than the increage last year. The
apparently large increase in expendi-
lures contemplated by the present esti-
mates, according to the department,
represents but a normal advance over
the expenditures of last year, made
necessary to meet the constantly grow
ing needs of the service and the public
demand for improved facilities.
The principal item for which in
creased appropriations are submitted
are as follows:
