Our prompt Attention.
Since Alexander Hamilton,
while in .Washington's Cabinet,
issned his celebrated report on
the manufactories in the United
States, recommending ' that
legistation be directed i to the
inoonragement of the manufac
turing industries of the United
States, leading men in the U. S
have differed upon the propiety
of plaoing : snoh legislation on
the United States statute : books.
The AntUfederalistrin th 'early
days of the repubjio ! opposed
Hamilton and aa a resultant of
this opposition the Democratic
party evolved and the , whig
party came into existence.' "
As an inoident of ' the heated
discussion betweea the Demo
crats and wigs child labor . was
brought into the disoussion 1 and
Democratic stump speakers drew
grpahio pictures of the horror of
child labor in the stuffy , factors
in ' their appeal to, the t kindly
impulses , of the voters. 0 Thie
appeal had much potenoy," in
forming publio opinion,' for the
60 years of Deinociatic asoeud
onoy from 1800 has 1860, against
protection of American manu
facturing industries. .
I In later years the adult wage
earners in the American factories
have made much 'objection to
child labor, not from benevelent
feelings toward children but
because they believed the
employment of children had a
tendency to lower wages. Yet
in their appeals - to the voters
they repeat much that the
Democrats had said more than
a half century ago.
The Status of the .Democrats
and adult Wage earners have had
a beneficial effect and there" has
been' great improvement in

In walking through the higl -.
ways of life dH it ever impreta
you that the ownership of real

factory regulations and slate
laws affecting child labor within
the past 3Q years.
In the disenwion of this
question there baa always been
much exageration and lack of
information concerning the real
facta in the case. To bear the j
oppnents of child labor, or red
their argumenU one is led o
believe that children of very
tendsr age are put to work in the
factories in large numbers and
paid very snsignificant wages.
Neither of which is true, as will
appear from the following figures
taken from the 12 United States
census, report showing condi
tions in 1900,. and bulletin -No
52 from the Department ' of
Comrarro and Labor issued in
May 1804 a book of 218 :i page
devoted to child labor.
A Child labor is so regulated by
state laws tbal children under
ten years old are- not permited
to work in faotories and in most
of the states the age limit is 14
years. , -"-"
- Child labor, iQ the U. S. census
means from 16 years and under,
and read with reference to stale
laws means in most of the states
from 16 to 14 years, iu a few
from 16 to 12 and in one or two
from' 16 to 10 years of age.
That there is greaa misappre
hension as to the . number of
children : employed in factories
in the United States wiil be seen
from the following figures taken
from the 12 U. 8. census.
In 1900 there were 612,254
factories in the United States
which employed 6,314, 89 wage
earners, exclusive of salaried
officers and clerks, of these 4,114 .-
84$ were men 16 years old and
'-i
pv, r, l,Q3l,0U8 women 10 years
old and over, and 168,683
children undei 16 years of age.
The hours of labor vary from
66 hours per week in some
establishment in Alabama to 65
hour in New Jersey.
The wages vary from $10.90
per week of 58 hours, in Mass.,
fot children under 18 yeara of
ago to $1.60 with an average of
pyir $6 per , week.-.;. '...;.
, In . Alabama the - rates for
children per week of 66 hours
the wages vary from $6.72 to 63
cents with . an average of $4.
Bulletin No 62 from wbio'n the
above figures are taken makes
no figures on negro children.
