The synopsis of statfstios derived from the
lata census reports, of the rmnnfnotiires of
Philadelphia, which hits recently been pub
lished in Tax Telgobaph, although not com
plete of aoourate in all renpeots, gives an im
pressive idea of the extent and variety of the
industrial interests of this city. It will be
seen that the bulk of our working population
are engaged in manufacturing pursuits, the
repotted number of hands employed being
110,r32. This aggregate inoludes 88,131
males and 2.1,545 females above 16 years of
'age, and"."G children, bo that Philadelphia
contains nearly 120,000 working men, women,
and children, who derive an average annual
income of nearly $150 per head from manu
facturing labors. Their incomes, in turn,
support so many families that only a small
fraction of the entire population
is sustained by other pursuits, and the fact
becomes more palpable than ever that the
prosperity of the great mass of the citizens of
Philadelphia hinges upon the general condi
tion of American industry. It rises with a
protective tariff and falls with free trade, and
the strong sentiment pervading the rank and
file of all parties in our midst in favor of
protection flows naturally from the general
recognition of its importance and necessity.
In the table we published yesterday com
paring the census returns of 18G0 and 1870,
it appears that the number of establishments
declined during the last decade from 62 to
(i(H0, notwithstanding an enormous increase
in the amount of capital invested. We are'
not sure that these figures are absolutely
correct, but they approximate near enough to
the truth to illustrate the modern tendenoy
to - consolidation and to the creation of
gigantic establishments, while they at the
same time show that this tendency has not
yet made as serious inroads upon the old in
dustrial system in Philadelphia as in many
other .localities. The average number of
hands in each establishment reported is less
than twenty, so that small factories as well as
large ones still abound in our midst.
The returns also show that while the capi
tal invested is nearly three times as large a
sum now as it was ten years ago, the value of
the annual produot has not doubled. .-Toil is
due in a great measure to the fact that a
great deal of the new machinery employed
was bought at war prices, while many of the
produotsareratedatrather unusually low peace
prices. The quantity of labor-saving ma
chinery has also been increased, and it has
necessitated an inorease of the capital
requisite for a given amount of production.
Aa immense increase in the rate of wages
is indioated by the returns. The average an
nual wages per head in 18G0 were less than
$270, while now they are about $150, indi
cating an advance of about seventy-five per
cent. Instead of there being a corresponding
increase in the rewards of capital, so far as it is
indicated by the difference between (he annual
value of produots and the joint value of labor
and raw material, the very reverse is trne.
An investment of $73,000,000 in 1860 left a
margin of $40,000,000 for profits, after de
ducting rent, incidentals, etc.; while in 1370 a
margin of only $61,000,000 was left on an in
vestment of $205,000,000; and the apparent :
annual percentage of earnings of capital in
manufactures was therefore nearly twice as
large ten years ago as it is no w.
Neither the statistics nor our deductions
are infallibly correct, but they furnish abun
dant illustrations of the fact that Philadelphia
is cue of the greatest, if not the greatest,
manufacturing city ia the world, and also that
manufacturing labor is well rewarded here,
while capital must take its chances in ventures
which often prove unprofitable. . ,
The diversities of our manufactures are as
remarkable as their extent. While an im
posing display of capital and produots is
made in the sta'ements relating to prominent
industries, it should be remembered that
thousands of useful arts practised here are
not even mentioned in the brief synopsis
whioh has recently been published, and that
there is scarcely a manufactured article of
real utility or beauty that is not made in
Philadelphia. . ' :
THE' AMERICAN STEAMSHIP COM
. ' v FANY. ......
The affairs of the American Steamship Com
pany, which will establish a direct connection
between Philadelphia and Europe, are pro.
grossing favorably, the business men and
citizens generally having manifested oom
mendable interest in the enterprise. That
this line will ' exert a powerful inflaenoe in
promoting the innumerable industrial inter
ests of Philadelphia and Pennsylvania
cannot be ' doubted,1 and backed
p& it is by the -Pennsylvania Railroad,
i success k may be considered as assured if
our ctiwen8 continue to Bupport it with a
proper . imonZ 5f. Morality. Every man,
woman, and child in Jis city is more or less
interested in the suoces or. lhl9 8r6at ente'
prise, and it can only fail through .ldck oi
public spirit. The 'whole of the stock h
already been subscribed for by the business
men of the city, and about' $500,000 worth
of bonds have . been taken by corporations
and a few individuals. . About $1,000,000
worth of bonds yet remain in the market, and
we commend them to the favorable
notice of. capitalists ' perfectly
aafe investments. These bonds are a first
mortgage nDOtt all the property of the com
paoY, a&d are guaranteed by the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company. There ought to ba no
diflioulty in the way of the a'einhip coiu
pany disposing of those band imuediittsly;
and if the cnpitalmts of Philadelphia will sub
scribe for them, the steamships will be built
and the line Inaugurated without deity, and a
great Btep will be taken in the direction of
the revival of the commercial importance of
the port of Philadelphia.
T1IK MUSEUM.
The new museum at the corner of Ninth and
Arch streets is a valuable improvement that
is deserving of the encouragement and sup
port of the citizens of Philadelphia, and it is
a matter for regret that intimations that the
building is unsafe should have been m tde
either pnblicly or privately, unless there are
very strong grounds for believing suoh to be
the case. Mr. Robert Simpson, the proprie
tor of the mnsentn, believing that his busi
ness has been injured by certain articles on
this subject that have appeared in Colonel
Fitzgerald's paper, has commenced a
libel suit against him, and at the hearing
yesterday before Recorder Givin a number
of praotioal builders gave - their tes
timony in regard to the construction of
the museum building, and united in the.
opinion that nnusual care had been taken in
its erection, and that it was perfectly seoure.
As any person can see for himself by even a
superficial inspection, the building is provided
with means of egress in event of fire that are
superior to those of any place of amusement
in the city; and we believe that Mr. Simpson,
while the structure was in process of ereotion
last summer, took every possible preoaution
to make it seoure beyond the shadow of a sus
picion, and the testimony offered yesterday
before the Recorder ought to reassure those
who have been needlessly alarmed by rumors
that have no foundation in faot. Mr. Simp
son, to whose enterprise Philadelphia is in
debted for this museum, is a gentleman who
has worked his way in the world with but little
assistance from any one, Some, yaars ago he lost
his arm by an accident, and since then he
has been obliged to use his brains in
order to win the favors of fortune. By h!s
industry and business tact he has been ena
bled to give this city what it has long needed,
a museum that offers a great variety of attrac
tions not only to our own citizens but to
strangers, and he is certainly entitled to better
treatment than he has received in some quar
ters; and we hope that the result of the suit
now pending will have the effect of demon
trating the security of the museum building
bo effectually that there will in the future be
no further doubt on the subject.
Among the witnesses examined yest.rday
was Mr. Benjamin F. Wright, building in
spector, who testified at tho time of the erec
tion of the building he had examined the
north' wall between the museum and Mr.
Myers' property with great care, and that it
was perfectly plumb and could not fall. He
was certain that the building was perfectly
safe. Mr. Wright stated that he had been a
carpenter and builder for forty-five years,
and had been a building inspector for twelve
years.
Mr. James M. Stewart corroborated the
statements of Mr. Wright. He said that he
bad been a building inspector for seven
years and a builder by profession for thirty
five, and that the Board of Inspectors con
sidered the building a very safe one.
Mr. John F. Shermer, also a building in
spector, corroborated the statements of
Messrs. Wright and Stewart;, he . considered
the building one of the strongest in the city.
Mr. John W. Murphy,' a civil engineer and '
bridge builder, residing kt No. 3 it N.' Thirty
second street, testified to the great strength
of the joists and supporters in the building.
The 'joi6ts were so 'strong that they could
stand even one hundred pounds of pressure
to the square inch, while but seventy-five
pounds Were - usually given to : places of
amusement and publio halls.
''The Demockats in 'the House yesterday
made a determined raid upon the Bureau of
Education; and Mr. Oox threatened that they
would put an end to it as soon as they came
into power. This is your genuine Democracy.
It prefers ignorant ' material to work upon,
and wou'd keep the masses in darkness, in
order to maintain its hold upon them.
Li Mans, near wblch place a great battle was
fought on Wednesday, January 11, between the .
French army of the Loire, under General Chanzy,
and tbe 8d Prussian army, under Prince Frederick
Charles and tbe Grand Date of Mecklenburg, Is a
very old city, with a population of about 88,000." It
Is situated on tbe ridge and slope of a bill, which la
washed by tbe river Harthe, and U m miles soutu
weBt of Parts. The city, which has been occupied
by tbe Germans, is of great antiquity, and Is said to
have been founded la the second century by tbe
Romans, of whose buildings many vestiges still re
main. In tbe eleventh century, William the Con
queror captured tbe town, wblch remained for a
long time In possession of tbe English, with occa
sional Interruptions, . Henry II, the first of the Plan
tagenets, baviug been born In 1 The Vendeans
sustained one of their worst defeats here during tbe
tint revolutions, and were flua'ly massacred, to the
number of 10,000, without ' distinction of age or
. . . .
Thk frwiss Fkdeuai. Council, has issued a mes
sage to tbe Federal Assembly, In wblch It points out
tbe It Jury which would be caused to Switzerland by
tbe annexation of Alsace and Lorraine to Germany.
The effect of tbla anuexatiou weuld be, It says, to
make Basle an enclave in. germ territory, as fie
ueva now is In Frcpo tonltory ; the direcUommu
nlcatlon between Basle and France would thus be
Wade much tnore dinlcuU, and Its important bauK
lng connection with Muluou.se would be entirely
destroyed. Notwithstanding this , the Council
does not consider tbat at this moment, when
there Is still great uncertainty as to the result of
tbe war, It would be proper to enter upon aoy
diplomatic action la the matter. It will, however
continue to give the subject its special attention!
8 tp tbe belief Which has repeatedly been expressed
in Switzerland that tbe annexation of Alsace and
Lorralre wontf lead to a claim for the Swiss districts
on the right bauk oi the Rhine, Including tic hart
bausen and Little Basle, the Council says It has no
aDxlety on this point, "It is scarcely credible that
Germany should ever bring forward the principle
tbat the Rhine should form her frontier on the south
west, and not on the west and northwest, ttuch a
logioal absurdity cannot be accepted even in politics,
and we have not the smallest ground for beilevlug
that ay such plaa la tontsmphued by tiie German
authorities." jjt

This Is a story of English and Italian life, br an
American lady. A residence of many years In Eng
land and Italy made her intimately acquainted wit h
the social characteristics of those countries, which
her romance reflects faithfully and vividly. The
author's familiar knowledge of art has enabled her
to depict Italian scenes and customs with unusual
force and fidelity. It is believed that this novel pos
sesses in a remarkable degree the elements of both
popular Interest aud enduring merit, and that
Its readers will con arm the highly favorable estimate
formed of It by some of those most distinguished in
the American lterary world.
