OVERWORK OF CHILDREN IN ENG-
LAND.
Notwithstanding the exposures hereto
fore made of the inhuman treatment of
very young children by parents and em
ployers in various branches of industry in
England, and the attempts to mitigate the
evil by legislation, it seems to prevail
almost as extensively and with as much
cruelty as ever. Rev. J. Thomson, of
Paisley, says in the May number of the
Christian Treasury, " This frightful state
of things has now passed away " Certainly
he has failed to inform himself of the facts
in the oase. A new Children's Employ
ment Commission, appointed in 1861, has
made four reports on these dreadful abuses,
and is still engaged in investigation. The
facts brought out are of the most extraor
dinary and humiliating nature, and furnish
small hope for the rising generation of the
poorer classes in England and Wales.
The results of these investigation's, thus
far, are given in the April number - of the
London Quarterly Review, from which we
shall make such extracts as will suffice to
give a correct, though far from exhaustive,
view of the facts in the case.
The first branch of industry considered,
was the celebrated Staffordshire . earthen
ware, with which the name of Wedgewood
is connected. In this, more than one-sixth
of the workers are children from five to ten
years of age, nearly six hundred being not
over five years.
"Young girls are employed in painting
cheap earthenware, and their health was
seriously injured by being kept too long at
their sedentary work in crowded and ill
ventilated rooms; but the children whose
case presented the strongest .claims to com
miseration were the ' mould-runners ;'—
little boys employed to convey the articles
turned out by the potter into the stoves—
small rooms, thirteen feet square, and from
eight to twelve feet high, attached to the
workshop. They are fitted with shelves
on which moulds with the moist ware
arranged upon them are placed, that they
may be dried pievious to removal. ThAse
ovens are raised to a very high temperiture,
have no vents for steam, scarcely any vet.r
tilation, and no windows. the centre
stands a cast-iron stove liditted to redness.
On entering thes9,rooms, the thermometer,
in the hands of an Assistant Commissioner,
rose in one or them to 130 0 ; in another to
148°. In the latter a little ' mould-runner'
was found eating his dinner. In a' third,
the thermometer burst from the intensity
of the heat. The boys were kept in constant
motion throughout the day, each carrying
from thirty to fifty dozen of moulds into
the stoves, and remaining in them long
enough to take the dried earthenware away.
The distance thus run by a boy in the
course of a day of not wore than ordinary
work was estimated at seven miles. From
the very nature of this exhausting occupa
tion, children were rendered pale, weak and
unhealthy. In the depth of winter, with
the thermometer in the open air sometimes
below zero, boys, with little clothing but
rags, might be seen running to and fro on
errands or to their dinners, with the perspi
ration standing on their foreheads, ' after
laboring for hours like little slaves.' The
inevitable result of such transitions of tem
perature were consumption, asthma, and
acute inflammation.
"The practice of dipping the earthen
ware into a mixture of borax, sofa, potash,
and carbonate of lead, for glazing it, was also
found to be followed by the most fatal con
sequences The clothes of the workers
were constantly saturated with a poisonous
compound, which produced Paralysis and
epilepsy in adults, and epilep . sx.in children.
By constantly handling the pieces of earth
enware the fingers of the children became
so delicate and sensitive that they bled on
the slightest abrasion, and the process of
absorbing of the poison was thus more cer
tain and rapid."
Parliamentary legislation has, however,
interposed to protect these victims of paren
tal 'avarice, and since 1864, no child under
thirteen years of age, can be employed in this
branch more than half of the working time,
The manufacture of Lucifer matches, car
ried on often with little capital, and with
the rudest accommodations, produces the
MU terrible effects upon the miserable
children who are employed in stirring the
inflammable and poisonous mixture for , a
considerable portion of the day.
" The phosphorus is thus not only
breathed, but absorbed by the clothes,
making the children shine like little imps
in the dark, and giving them at night a
very spectral appearance. It is the process
of dipping which chiefly produces the jaw
disease, a vapor continually rising from the
heated mixure, which the dipper, ignorant
of the consequences, unavoidably inhaled.
The disease is thus described by a medical
practitioner It seems to be at first, as one
of its names implies, merely a local disease,
affecting the jaw-bone; but it causes in all
cases, when fully established, great and un
bearable pain ; lasting, with little or no
relief even from sleep, for months or often
years; ending with the loss of parts or the
whole of one or both jaw-bones, and so to a
greater or less degree of the power of mas
tication, and often in an entire breaking up
of the constitution and death.' "
This business, also has been placed under
legislative restriction with three others of
minor importance, while others are still the
scenes of cruelty and oppression, and slow
murder, which the worst Red River cotton
plantation could never have rivalled.
In lace-making, infants of two years used
to bo set to work pulling out the threads,
and many were found working at three
years. This was the case as reported by
the Commmission of 1842.
"The usual age for children to be set to
work is now between nine and ten, but in
some private houses as early is eve. It is
in the manufacture of pillow or hand made
'late, however, that the oppression to WhiCh
young children are subjected has been most
painfully exposed. The business is taught
in schools established for the purpose. Six
is a common age to begin to learn, but
many commence at four and five. The
places of work are termed lace-schools,
generally rooms in small cottages, with the
fire-places stopped up to prevent draught,
and without ventilation. The work ter
quiriug considerable manual dexterity but
very little muscular strength, children are
turned very early to profitable account by
their parents, who pay a small meekly sum
for their instruction and sell flit!, lace made
by them. There is nothing more startling
and distressing in these reports than the
details ofthe suffering to which these poor
children are subjected in learning a busi
ness by which they are to earn their live
lihood, the wearisome days, sleeplebs nights
and, painful exhaustion which manufacture
by almost infantile fingers involves, and of
the physical and moral ruin which soon
overtakes little creatures herded together
in rooms with scarcely space to move or
breathe, and deprived from infancy of every
kind of recreation and enjoyment. At
night, eight or ten children are often con
gregated round one small candle, and their
worn and haggard faces abundantly prove
the injurious nature of the employment.
" From fifteen to twenty have been found
collected in a small, low room, not more
than twelve feet square, working for fifteen
of the twenty-four hours at an employment
exhausting by its monotony, and exposed
to every influence that can destroy health.
In one school only twenty-five cubic feet of
air are found available for each child in a
room with .its window closed and without
ventilation. In some houses, to keep the
lace clean, the children sit without shoes in
the coldest weather, the floors being of
plaster or brick. Although the treatment
.
of the children by the mistresses is said to
have improved of late, a long cane is re
sorted to in proportion as the hours of work
are protracted, the youngest becoming at
length so fatigued as to be ' as uneasy as
birds.'
"The Straw plait Manufacture is attend
ed with perhaps even greater abuses and
physical suffering than that of lace-making:
It is carried on under conditions very simi
lar to the pillow-lace manufacture. The
age at which children commence their in
struction is almost incredibly early; parents
this, as in the laie business, being eager
to derive a profit from their children at the
first possible moment. Girls only three
years old have been found at work, and •five
seems a common age at which to commence.
The parents find out what the physical
endurance of their children, when taxed to
the uttermost, will enable them to accom
plish,—and they rigidly exact it i they are
thus driven to school before a winter's
dawn, after having been kept at work
throughout the greater part of the previous
night. The mortality among these poor
overworked children is great, consumption
and fever carrying them off at a very early
age. The rooms in which the business is
taught are excessively small, and the chil
dren are packed together in the smallest
. space, like herrings.' An Assistant Com
missioner, on his visit to Houghton Regis,
saw the little clippers with scissors tied to
their waists, and the mistress had by her
side a long stick, which, however, on his
entry, she put out of sight. In other plait
schools formidable sticks were seen, and
the 'mistresses admitted they were obliged
occasionally to use them. In a room ten
and a half feet square and between six and
seven feet high, forty-two children were
found seated with the window shut. • The
air-space for each of these forty two chil
dren would be exactly eighteen and a half
cubic feet, or less than half what one would
have if shut up in a box three feat each
way.
"The Hosiery Manufacture has engaged
the serious attention of the Commission, and
it needs to be very strictly regulated. The
girls begin seaming,'—a process required
to complete most of the articles,—as young
as five, and instances are known of some
having commeneed at four. The greatest
proportion'of this work being done by the
wives and ohildren of the men who labor
at the frames, the parents are generally
alone answerable for overtaxing their chil
dren's strength, and deprlving them of the
necessary amount or rest and sleep. 'Little
creatures, four or five years of age,' said a
well-informed witness, 4 are kept up shame
fully late, mothers have been known to pin
them to heir knees to keep them to their
work and prevent their falling down from
sleep or exhaustion, and they slap them
to keep them awake. A child has so many
glove fingers set for it to' do before it is
allowed to go to bed, and it must do them.'
The practice of parents sitting up all night
and making their children do the same is
said to be far from uncommon."
When we pass from these lighter employ
ments to those seemingly less suitable for
children, the various manufactures of metal,
the case is not altered. Nol only the more
delicate branches of these pursuits, but the,
heavier work at the forge and the anvil, by
night and by day, is shared in by boys and
(rifle alike.
Worcestershire and Staffordshire are re•
ferred to in the following extract:
"In the blast-furnaces, mills, and forges,
great numbers of children and youths are
employed in night sets, between 6 P. M.
and 6 A. M.; and in the miscellaneous
trades overtime is very common, a great
number of children working as long as the
men, viz. from 6 A. M. to 11 P. M. Lit
tle girls are employed in bellows-blowing
(very hard work for childrei) for fourteen
hours a-day, standing on platforms to en
able them to reach the handle of the bellows.
An instance is given of a father baying
worked his three young boys from four in
the morning until twelve at night for weeks
together, until the other men ' cried shal e
upon him.' Over*ork is systematic ; 1.2.00
boys under fifteen, and 2400 youths b e _
tween thirteen and eighteen, work through
the nights of every alternate week. Iron
chains are wrought in this district, and
there is no employment in which boys are
subjected to a greater amount of labor.
E ac h link , is formed by welding together,
at white heat, the ends of Wok pieces o f
rod-iron, a man and his boy striking,alter

only by the strength of the men; for as
long as the men can work, the boys must
attend them; but so heavy is the work,
that by 6 P. M. the men themselves are
completely exhausted, and obliged to cease;
and it has been pronounced unfit for boys.
A chain-maker at Wednesfield Heath,
working in his own shop for a large manu
factory, and who had left the establishment
that he might employ his little girls to help
him instead of hiring boys, which he was
obliged to do in the public workshop, was
found by the Assistant Commissioner, en
gaged in making a large'chain. Two girls,
nine and ten years of age, were working as
`strikers,' and a little girl of eight, occa
sionally relieved by a. still younger one of six,
was working the bellows. The gross earn
ings of this man amounted to two guineas
per week. It may be doubted whether the
world amid now produce a more revolting
171St071Ce of parental oppresssiou than the
spectacle of these two young girls, whose
little hands would have been appropriately
employed: in hemming a kerchief or work
ing a sarapler,. begrimed 'with the smoke,
stifled with the hear, and stunned with the
din of a smithy, wwlding sledge-hammers,
and forging iron cha , ns from morning till
night."
Two thousand children under fifteen are
employed in Birmingham alone, and forty
thousand women, children and youth in
Birmingham and'its district.
(To be Concluded.)
Whoever has read the new History of
England, as far as it is completed, by
Fronde, has had a rich treat. The volumes
are written in a style that keeps the interest
awake from the opening sentence to the
close. There is, too, an apparent thororgh
ness of research, and candor in adducing
testimony, that gives the seeker after his
torical truth confidence in his guide. Still,
the volumes essentially ehange r some of oar
previous opinions—piecing some historic
characters in a Tier. light, and reversing
decisions FeviouslY reaehed. Especially
of Henry.lll
k . this true enry . We think
'That sovereign, could he do it, would most
heartily thank Mr. Fronde for the service
done to his country.
One trait, truly noble, of his reign, is
strikingly brought out, and may well be
adverted to as an example for the govern
ments of to-day. It is the quality of his
justice. The chances of escape, under
Henry VIII., for a convicted traitor, di
minished just in proportion to the dignity
and position of the criminal. The nearer
he stood to the crown the less the hope.
For one of the commons, a poor, deluded,
private man, there was hope of the royal
clemency. But for one of the nobility, a
lord, a peer of the realm, there was. no
chance. On him the stroke of justice fell
quick and sure. The passages from the
ball to the tower, and from the tower to the
block, followed each other quickly. No
petitions availed. It was a royal quality of
Kin , * Henry's justice.
But will any future historian ascribe this
character to our national justice ? Is it
thus we are dealing with traitors ? One
poor, friendless, contemptible, wounded,
almost dead agent of the rebellion, holding
office under its leaders and executing their
behests, has been dragged through a tedi
ous trial, condemned and executed. But
does any one believe that one of the origin
ators, or gTeat movers of the rebellion, is in
danger of any such fate ? So far, it has
seemed, we have been anxious to make
some little show of retributive justice, but
have not dared to strike in any.high Place.
Such, we'fear, will be the course through.
out. A high premium would have been
demanded to insure the life of the great
leader the day he was captured ; hut a very
small premium would be required to-day.
He is reported , to be confident, contented,
cheerful; and he has every reason to be.
There is little for him to fear from the
Indic. of that nation whose life he has • at
tempted to take, •and many thousands of
whose loyal sons he has been the means of
bringing to untimely and cruel deaths.
The memory of his great crimes grows daily
more faint, and the indignation felt at the
atrocities committed under his leadership
is dying away, and the , number of those
who demand his death is constantly dimin
ishing. is there any other government on
earth that would permit such a mau to live?
Can a nation long live with such a feeble,
partial, , timid' administration of justice ?—

AYER'S CATHARTIC PILLS
iIkARE the most perfect purgative
which we are able to produce or
which we think has ever yet been
made by any body. Their effects
have abundantly shown to the com
munity bow mch they excel] the or
dinary medicines in use. They are
safe and pleasant to take, but power
ful to cure. Their penetrating pro
perties stimulate the vi- al activities of the body, re
move the obstructions of its organs, purify the blood.
and expel di,ease. They purge out the foul humors
which breed and grow distemper, stimulate sluggish
or disordered organsinto their natural action, and im
part a healthy tone with strength to the whole syst em. Not, only do they cure the every-day complaints of
evbrybody, but also formidable and dangerous dis
eases. While they . produce powerful effects, they are
at the same time, In diminished doses. the safest and
best physic that can be employed for children. Being
sugar-coated, they are pleasant to take; and, being
purely vegetable, are free from any riik of harm. Cores
have been made which surpass belivf, were they not
substantiated by men of such ,italied position and
character. as to forbid the suspicion of untruth. Many
eminent clergymen and physicians have' lent their
names to certify to the public the reliability of our
remedies, while others have sent us the assurance of
their conviction that, our Preparations contribute
immensely to the relief of 'our afflicted, suffering fel
low men.
The Agent below named is pleased to furnish gratis
our Atom lean Almanac, containing directior s for the
me and dertiticates of their cures,. of the following
complaints:
Costiveness, Bilious Complaints, Rheumatism.
prom. Heartburn. Ifekdaehe aris ing from foul
stomach, Nausea, Indigestion, Morbi d of The
Bowels and Pain arising therefrom. Flatulency, Loss
of Appetite, all Diseases which require an evacuant
medicine. They also, by purifying the blood and
stimulating the system, cure many complaints which
it would not be suptosed they could reach, such' as
Deafness. Partial blindness, Neuralgia and Nervous
Irritability. Derangen..ents of the Liver and Kidneys,
Gout. and other kindred complaints arising from a
low state of the body, or obstruction of its functions.
Do not be putoll by unprincipled dealers with other
preparations which they make more profit on. De
mand AYER'S and take no others. The sick want
the best aid there is for them, and they should have it.
