MACHINEY HELPS LABORERS
A large number of persons,
who labor for others for, , their
- livelihood, feel that the ., use of
machinery lessons their oppor
tunities to secure jobs. This,
if they will take the trouble to
investigate, they will find it is .; a
' mistake, that the converse is
true, and that the more the

worlds work the gre ter is the
demand for human labor.
In 1880 there -were 253,852
United States that employed
2,732,595 wage earners," paying
them a total of $947,953,793 a
yearly average of $357.38 to
each wage earner. The number
of wage earners in . manufactur
ing plants in the census year of
1880 was 5.44 per cant of the
whole population of the United
States, and that year the total
horse power of water, 'steaji;
gas, and electricity, used in the
factories aggregated 3,410,837
horsepower. .
In 1900 there were 512,191
manufacturing plants in the
United States that gave employ
ment to 5,306,143 wagb earner
paying them $2,320,938,168, on
an average of $437.40 for the
years service. In the census
year, 1900, tht factories used
11,298,119 horse power and
employed 6 96 per ceut of the
whole population of the United
States.
The foro goiug figures, which
are compiled from official sour
ces, shn that there were
7,887,282 . more . horse powers
used iu the factoriea in the
United States in 1900 than in
1880 and that thev employed J
2,673,548 more laboress than
were employed iir 1880. In 1880
5.44 per--cent cf the whole
population of (he United States
were employed as wage earners
in the factories of the Uuiled
States, and in 1900 the per
cent of the whole population so
employed was 6.96 per cent a
gaiu per cent of 1 52 tor the
twenty yeas. The amount paid
for wagea was greater in 1900
and the hver.e wages earned
by each w.ig eurner was $80.02
per year more than in 1880.
The above figures show that
the use of the forces of nature
water, steam, air, gas and elec
tricity increases the opportunity
of the wage earner for employ
ment and at higher wages.
