YALE MEN TAKE TO THE LAW
The Bar Still Attracts one.Thlrd Of the
university's Graduates.

1he statisticians at Yale have
drawn up a table to show what occu-
pations the graduates Of the institu-
ton have chosen in the last century.
From the table 1t appears that the
ministry has fallen off greatly as an
attraction.
When the century opened about 80
per cent. of Yale graduates we're min
listers. Beginning with 1860 this num-
Der took q great fall. Since 1865 the
average has been six per cent.
The averages for law and medicine
have remained about the same. AS a
rule ten per cent. Of Yale's graduates
are doctors. In law the figures have
been steadily about 80 per cent.
In teaching and science the figures
have increased very gradually from
about two per cent. to IL per cent.
The strongest upward tendency has
been that Of business. The farmers
have fallen on ever since the southern
planters ceased to enter Yale.
Business now attracts about one
third of the men. and the law about
one.third. The other third is divided
between the ministry, science, teach

ON LABOR
The Future of the American Toiler
Forecasted by that Great Master
Mind Years Ago.

"Invention has filled the world
with competitors, not only Of
laborers but of mechanics-me-
chanics of the highest skill. To-
day the ordinary laborer is, for
the most part. a peg in the wheel.
He works with the tireless-he
feels the Unsuitable, When the
monster stops the man is out of
employment-out of bread. He
has not saved anything. The ma
chine that he fed was not feeding
him, was not working for him.
The invention was not for his ben
eft. The other day 1 heard a
man say that it was almost impos-
sible for thousands of good me-
chanics to get employment, and
that in his judgement the govern
ment ought to furnish work for the
people; few minutes after we
heard another say that he was
selling patent for cutting clothes,
that one of the machines could do
the work of twenty taillors, and
that the week before he had sold
to a great house in New York, and
that over forty cutters had been
discharged and machines are being
invented to take their places.
When the great factory shuts
down the workers who inhabited
it and gave it life as thoughts do
the brain, go away and it stands
there like an empty skull. A few
workmen, by the force of habit,
gather about the closed doors and
broken windows and talk about
distress, the price Of food, and the
coming winter. They are con
vinced that they have not had
their share of what their labor
created; they feel certain tnat the
machines inside were not their
friend; they look att the mansion OF
the employer and think of the
places where they live; and they
themselves have saved nothing,
nothing but themselves. The EN-,
ployer seems to have enough:
even when employers fall when
they became bankrupt, they are
far better off than the laborers ever
were.
s'Their worst is better than the
toiler's best. The capitalist comes
forward with the specific. He
tells the workingmen that he mus'

sent system of economy woulC

burdened taxpayers of the country
and decline even to take the tariff

tariff tax on wood pulp and white
print paper would protect our
forests, and give the owners of the
newspapers of the land cheaper

a Democratic congress that will

the people Of the country.
