MARVELOUS FACTS. DISPLACEMENT OF HANI) IjABOR BY MACHINERY. Wonderful Results Tliat Have Been Attained in Various Fields of Work Comparisons With Europe. The aggregate energy in hand, horse and steam power in the United States, exclusive of water, with 47,000 miles of navigable rivers more than there are in the whole of Europe, is 89,854,000,000 foot tons daily, n, gainst 83,290,000,000 foot tons in England and France to gether. The horse power of steam used in the United States on railways, steamers and in factories and mines was, in 1888,12,- 100,000, against 1,610,000 in 1850. The United States census of 1890 will probably show a population of about 66,- 000,000, with an aggregate energy of nearly 100.000 millions of foot tons daily and an accumulated wealth cf 70,000 dollars, figures never before applicable to any nation in the world. Comparing with population, the earnings in 1880 per capita averaged $165 against $lO5 in 1850. The earnings in the United States in thirty years were* $149,500,000,000 and the accumulation of wealth has been $37,- 965,000,000, or nearly one-fourth of the earnings, made up of $10,160,000,000 in farms, $4,905,000,000 in railways, $2,- 360,000,000 in factories and $20,520,- 000,000 in houses, etc. The annual ac cumulation of wealth average $1,265,- 000,000, or about fifty per cent, over the accumulations of either Great Britain or France. The inventive genius of the country has devised labor-saving machinery for the advancement of agricultuie, manu factures, commerce and mining, to which very much of the credit for the country's wonderful progress is due. In the race for advancement machinery has displaced labor to re-employ it in the manufacture of labor-saving machines and new meth ods of working. The cost of manufacture of most articles has been diminished and sold to consumers at a diminished price, the laborer reaping a benefit as a con sumer. The rate of wages has been generally advanced, but the wage-earner has not received, as a general rule, the pro rata advance to correspond to the diminished cost of manufacture. Cotton being taken as the standard commodity, the ratio of cost per pound of common cotton cloth in 1828 and 18S0 was as 6.79 to 3.31, and wages for the same dates being as 2.62 to 4.84. The per capita domestic consumption of cot ton in 1831 was 5.90 pounds against 13.91 pounds in 18S0. The working time has been reduced 12 per cent. In the manufacture of agricultural im plements 600 operatives with machinery, j including eighteen classes of wage earn- I ers, do the work of 2145 wage earners ' without machinery, displacing 1545 workers. In manufacturing gun stocks one man by manual labor was able to turn and fit one gun stock in one day of ten hours, while three men now by a division of labor and the use of machinery can turn and fit 125 to 150 gun stocks in ten hours. This displaces the work of forty four to forty-nine wage workers. In the manufacture of brick, improved devices save one-tenth of the labor, and in the manufacturing of fire brick forty per cent, of the manual labor is dis placed. In the manufacture of boots and shoes, the work of 500 operatives is now done by 100, a displacement of wage earners of eighty per cent, by aid of machinery. In another class of boots for women's wear, one worker by manual labor could make six pairs per week, which has by •lid of late devices been increased to eigh teen pairs per week, a displacement of sixty-six per cent, of laborers. In a certain grade of goods the work of 120 wage workers by old methods is now done by the aid of machinery by sixty wage workers' work, better in fact and in appearance, displacing fifty per cent, of wage workers. Goodyear's sewing machine for turned shoes, with one worker, can sew 250 pairs in a day. It would require eight hand-workers to do a like number, a dis placement of per cent, of workers. King's heel shaver or trimmer, with one worker, will turn out 300 pairs of shoes per day, where formerly three men were required. One worker with McKay's machine can handle 300 pairs of shoes per day, and without the machine only five pairs. In nailing on shoe htele one worker and a boy with machinery can heel 300 pairs of shoes per day. It would re .luire five workers to do the same by hand. The introduction of machinery m the manufacture of children's shoes in the last thirty years has displaced six times the manual labor now required, and the product of manufacture has been reduced fifty per cent, to the; consumer. On a of goods manufactured in Maine one man can now by the improved I devices do the work of ten men twenty I years ago. In the broom manufacture, with machinery, half the number of wage workers turn out more work than twice the product. In the manufacture of carriages it used to take one man thirty-five days to make a carriage. It is now made by the aid of machinery with the work of one man in twelve days. A carpet measuring and brushing ma chine with one operator will do the work of fifteen men by the old methods. In cutting out clothing and cloth caps with dies one worker does the work of three by old methods. In the cotton mills in this country the manual labor has been reduced about 50 percent. Now one weaver manages from two to ten looms, where one loom was formerly tended by one worker. In spinning in the cotton mills in this country one operative cared for twenty live spindles that now attends seventy two spindles—an increase of 185 per cent In the olden time in this country one weave? with a hand loom turned out weekly from forty-two to forty-eight yr.rds. A weaver now tending six power looms turns out 1500 yards in a week. In the mauufacture of flour modern im provements save 75 per cent, of the manual labor that once was necessary. In the manufacture of furniture only about one-half the operatives are required to do the same work. In leather manufacture, modern meth ods have reduced the necessary numbci of workers from five to fifty per cent. In stave dressing, twelve colaborers, with a Barker machine, can dress 12,000 I staves in the same time that the same i number of workers by hand could dress j 2500 staves. In making tin cans, one man and a boy with modern appliances, can do the j work of ten workers by the old process. | In making bread boxes three men can do the work of thirteen box makers by the old methods One boy by machinery, in turning wood work and materials for musical in struments, performs the work of twenty- , five men by the old methods. By the use of coal mining machines 160 j miners in a month can mine as much coal in the same time as 500 miners by the old methods. In the manufacture of wall paper one worker by the aid of machinery, does the work of 100 workers by manual labor, and in cutting and drying paper by ma chinery four men and six girls do the work of 100 operators by old methods. In the whole country an army of work ers have been displaced by machinery, j while a large contingent of operators has j been placed in the manufacture of labor- j saving appliances. Improved processes j of manufacture and competition make everything made cheaper to the con- | sumer. In 1880 there were in the United States i 2,733,000 operatives engaged in manu- j faeture, representing and supporting 13,- I 065,000 consumers, or one-quarter of the ' population then, with $5,585,000,000 . product,or an average of $2045 per hand, j with $990,000,000 wages paid operatives. The product of the census for 1890 will probably reach between $8,000,000,000 and $9,000,000,000, with a very large increase in operatives representing and supporting an army of consumers of everything produced in the country. Every week there are chronicled numer ous new manufacturing enterprises giv ing place to large numbers of workers. The most notable are the organizations at Pittsburg and Chicago for the manu facture of tin and terne plates, for which we have paid Great Britain $244,000,000 : in the last fifteen years, and a ten-million iron plant.— New York Graphic. The Royal Prussian Torch Dance. The fackeltanz, or torch dance, is a dance performed at the Royal Court of Prussia whenever a member of the royal family celebrates a wedding. In is per formed in the following manner: Under i the precedence of the upper seneschal I the Privy Counselors and Ministers ap j pointed (who are going two by two), bearing white wax torches, the newly married couple is going around the room first; then the bride is making this round with the King and the Princes success ively; and finally the groom with the Queen and Princesses successively under the same precedence. After this per formance the garter of the bride is dis tributed by the upper seneschal. The last fackeltanz took place recently at the wedding of Prince Frederic Leo pold, of Prussia, son of the well-known Field Marshal, Prince Frederic Charles, with the Princess of Schleswig-Holstein, younger sister of the Empress of Ger many. Hot Typ33. A new French invention, the thermo graphic press, is made for printing on wood by means of hot type. As neat an I impression is claimed as is obtained in ' lithography, and by Ihe use of a specially prepared ink it is said that cold type may be used with equally good effect. Its speed is 400 impressions an hour on flat wood.— American Analyst. German Newspapers. When an American reads at breakfast his well-printed and entertaining news paper, lie enjoys a, pleasure unknown to » German. The difference between the two kinds is great, and the German thinks he profits by the comparison. The first thing you notice in picking up Dne of the larger dailies printed in Berlin jr Munchcn is the wretched paper, and the ink so thickly laid on that it will rub all on your hand. You soon perceive that the news is almost entirely domestic —casualties aud unusual events in the niriouß divisions of the Empire. This, af course, is good so far as it goes, but intelligence of outside affairs is very briefly given, and those points only and enrich the blood, and linding thwt it always produces tho desired result, n© consid ers that ho would be fooliah to experiment with anything else.
