“Pregress and the Workingman.”

(Montreal Star. )

In these days when so much is being said wo put class against class and to make the workingman discontented with his lot in life, the man who makes an honestend a ‘areful comparison between the condition of the workingman twenty or thirty years io and his condition to-day, does society a valuable service. This Mr. Edward Atkin- son has done. He made a full enquiry as to the prices of commodities and the wages if labor during the twenty-five years. He has taken stock of the progress of this world during that period. He makes no guesses, he starts notheories. He finds out what the facts are and he simply sets them down. His paper on low prices, high wages and small profits, in the August number of the Century, is most instructive, and should be caretully studied by every intelligent man, and particularly by every intelligent workingman, in the country. One of the conclusions which the though*- tul reader will draw from a careful perusal of this valuable paper is that the talk in which many who profess to be the friends of the working class indulge of the poor growing pooer, while the rich are growing richer, is, as far as America is concerned, at any rate, mere senseless rant and opposed to facts which any one who under- takes to advise and instruct his fellow-men shouid make himself master of.

If it can be shown that during the last quarter of a century the wages of working men have been steadily rising, while, at the same time, they can obtain more of the necessaries and comforts of life for tltir pay, it is folly to assert that the condition of the working class has become worse. If a workman gets more money than he used to in the ‘‘ good old times,” and if that money has a greater purchasing power, he must be better off now than he was then. Again, if during the period we have named while the workman has been getting more and more for his labor, the capitalist has been getting less and less for his money, it must be admitted, that so far from the poor becoming poorer in the periods of de- pression through which the world has passed in the course of the last quarter of a century, it is the rich that has been be- coming poorer. Mr. Atkinson in his care- fully compiled tables, shows that the wages of all class of workmen in the United States have advance since 1860, and that the better skilled the workmen, the great- est has been the avance. He divides workmen into four classes. The wages of the first class were advanced from $2. 45 a day in 1860 to $4.14 in 1885; the wages of the second class from $1.56 to $2.40; of the third class from $1.33 to $1.80, and tho fourth from $1.01 to $1.40. The purchas- ing power of the money which the mechanic and laborer have received has advanced in a far greater ratio than ‘their wages. Mr. Atkinson shows that the increased purchasing power of a year's wages of each of the classes since 1865 has been for class one, 108 per cent.; for class two, 90 per cent.; for class three, 78 per cent.; and for class four, 70 percent. So that if wages were no higher to-day than they were twenty-two years ago, every class of workmen would be better off than they were then; but as we have seen, meu get considerably more for a day's work now than they did then. This is what Mr. At- kinson calls progress from poverty.

Now with regard to the earnings of capi- tal. Is the rich man able to get more for his money to-day than he did in 1860? What Mr. Atkinson says about this is very interesting. From 1848 to 1860 the average rate of discount paid in the open market of the United States by the corporations enjoying the highest credit was eight per cent., subject to very considerable fluctua-

tions. From 1860 to 1869 the civil war had a great effect upon the market, and money was generaliy dear. Railway cor-

porations issued bonds at long dates at rates of interest from 7 to 8 per cent., even as high as 10 per cent. was paid by railroad corporations of great strength and sound credit. U pto 1873 the rate of interest on the best manufacturing notes was on the ‘average of six and one half per cent. | Between 1873 and 1879 the usual rate was ‘* Since the restoration of

says Mr. Atkinson, ‘‘down to the |present time the fluctuations in ithe rate of discount on the very

| best commercial notes have been 3 to 5 per | cent. ; and by the actual record of a broker

‘doing a very large business, they have ‘averged 4 per cent. on a six months paper.” At Chicago the rates have been reduced from an average of 10 per cent. and over,to an average of 5 per cent. or less. ‘*On Western farm mortgages, the change has been much greater. Twenty-five years ago, rates as high as twenty-five per cent. were paid on mortgages on Western land, on what has proved to be excellant security. The rate now charged is seven per cent. and even less.” We see from this that the earning power of capital has been re- duced at least one-half since 1860, and the tendency is to diminish it still further. In ‘the face of these undeniable facts, how can it be said that the rich is growing richer, and that, too, at the expense oi the poor / |The rich of course have the advantage of ‘the reduction in the prices of the necessar- ‘ies of life, but this is not, comparativ ely, 80 | beneficial to them as it is to the working class. The figures show that if one class is getting rich at the expense of the other ‘it is the better class of mechanics who are ‘becoming more independent at the cost of | the capitalists.

: One of the great factors is lessening the | price of commodities is the greatly decreas- ‘ed cost of transport. Railways which are the theme of the denunciation of so many, have beea the greatest blessing vo jthe poor man. The decrease in the cost of carriage during the last five and twenty years has been marvellous aud Mr. Atkin- son puts it before his readers in a very ‘striking way. He says: “‘A sum repre-

senimy Hire atevings of the Jaxt dive yours

VOL. 21,7NOy 44.

only, as compared with the rates of 1865- 68 would doubtless have sufficed to cover the cash cost of the construction of the 100,000 miles of new railway built between

Jan. 1, 1865, and Jan. 1, 1887, at the cost of $50,000 a mile.” Again, ‘The most

beneficent factor in the lowering of prices has been the extension of the railway sys- tem and the reduction of the charge of service. Vanderbilt was the typical rail- way man of his day; he was also the vreat- est communist of his time, because he reduced the cost of moving a barrel of flour a thousand miles to so small a sum that it could hardly be measured in a loaf of bread, at a margin of profit to himself and his associates which is even less than the value of the empty barrel at the end of the line.”

The lesson to be learned from this, and Mr. Atkinson’s other useful and able papers, is that progress has been profitable te the workingman.

°° -_ - Dynamiters in England. IMPORTANT DISCOVERY MENT AGENTS-

MADE BY GOVERN- -AN EXTENSIVE CONSPIRACY.

The special correspondent of the Liver- pool Post published a startling interview with a government spy, in Liverpeol, regarding a dynamite conspiracy there. The spy says: ‘‘ For some weeks I have been trying to ascertain whether any such un- lawful society was extant, The result of my investigations was to place beyond doubt the existence of dynamite organiza- tions, affiliated to the Fenian Brotherhood in New York. Those belonging to the new Brotherhood are a more desperate lot than their predecessors. They stick at nothing, know all the detectives personally, use much more caution and deliberation, and in return are well known to the police. Every one of them has been shadowed by two or three detectives, according to the resistance he might be expected to offer. There is in Liverpool a secret society of 100 persons, consisting of tailors, shoemakers, dock laborers, and men who are supported by subscriptions from New York. They do not believe in Parnell, Gladstone, or anybody. Their sole object is to make Iveland a republic by violent means. When asked why the police do not interfere with them the government agent replied that this would only make them dangerous. ‘‘When you begin to tamper or interfere with them,” said he, ‘*they may do something desperate. To bring in funds for the cause, or for the support of the families of those in custody from time to time, when the signs of war had been lacking, they have committed sule insane act, with that purpose in view. Prior to the jubilee a raid was made on the houses of lodging and places of meeting of some suspected parties in Liverpool. The result was that detectives obtained a large amount of documentary evdience, which disclosed the workings of the society and names of members. These papers are now in the hands of the police, and could be

acted upon at any mument. This applies to other cities as well. The man Mooney isan old Dynamiter. Mooney, who

lately attempted to ‘blow up a British vessel in New York, was expected here then. He was in England when the explosions oc- curred in London, Liverpool and Glasgow, and is suspected of having taken a promin- ent part in them. He was watched here within the past two months by officers who knew him personally. Had he landed he would have been arrested, as there was sufficient to insure his conviction. As to the allegation that he is insane, that is all humbug. There are informers, however, amoug the Liverpool dynamiters, and by the help of bribes the police have been able to break up their plans. There have been recently threats of preparations, but whether they intend to carry their menaces into ex- ecution, for the purpose of extorting money from American sympathizers, | can- not say. Ifthe Irish crimes act is applied, I am afraid some outrages may be commit- ted for revenge. The Liverpool police are keeping a strict watch in consequence.” eel

‘“Hetto!” we heard one man say to another, the other day. ‘‘ I didn't know you at first, why! you look ten years younger than when I saw you last.” ‘‘I feel ten years younger,’ was the reply. ‘‘ You know I used to be under the weather all the time and gave up expecting to be any better. The doctor said I had consumption. I was terribly weak, had night-sweats, cough, no appetite, and lost flesh. I saw Dr. Pierce's goiden medical discovery advertised, and thought it would do no harm if it did no good. It has cured me. I ama new man because I am a well one.”
