Idle ill-
A report just made by the bureau of
statistics of labor, under the direction
of Horace G. Wadlin, shows an inters
e&ting and somewhat startling condi
tion of atfairs in Barnstaple county,
otherwise known as Cape Cod. If that
county loses in population as fast in
the future as it has during the last 30
years there will be no one in the county
at all except the dwellers in the ceme
teries at the end of a few more de
cades. From 165 to 1S95 the total loss
in population was over 20 per cent., only
two towns, Falmouth and Province
town, showing a gain in those years.
Wellfleet, which had a population of
2.296 in 1865, dropped over 50 per cent,
to 968. Sandwich was also a loser.
The decline in manufacturing is also
remarkable. In 1S85 the county had
425 manufacturing establishments and
$2,719,563 invested. In 1895 these fig
ures were 328 and $51S,866.
The main reliance of the Cape towns
has long been the fishing industry, but
if the reader of tne report looks for any
encouraging ligures in that line he will
be disappointed. In 1885 the county
had $1,941,921 invested in fisheries, in
1895.it was but $692,456, a decline of 64
per cent. There was an increase in this
industry in the towns of Bourne, Sand
wich and Truro, but these are not the
chief fishing towns. Provincetown cap
ital invested in fishing declined 67 per
cent, and Wellfleet 90 per cent. Har
wich capital was almost entirely with-
kdrawn.
f Of the loss of the fisheries at Prov
Incetown Mr. Wadlin speaks in a way
that reminds one of Hawthorne's stories
service at Salem many years ago in lan
guage as follows:
"Vessels were formerly built here
for fishing and whaling. A large num
ber of fitting stores connected with the
long- wharves lined the whole harbor
front. The town was then an active
place. It was the scene of continual
bustle, the fleets fittinsr out in the
spring to return in the autumn laden
with full catches. Many mechanics.
including ship carpenters, calkers
painters, sailmakers, riggers and black
smiths, were employed in building and
repairing this fleet. At one time there
were three marine railways for hauling
out and repairing not onlj- local vessels.
but those from the other Cape towns.
"Now, in place of all this activity we
find the fleets absent, the wharves fast
going to decay, and two of the marine
railways rotting and falling down; the
third, recently sold for taxes, must soon
share the fate of the others. The fail
ure of fishing firms has caused the loss
of much capita, depriving many of
employment. The low price of whale
oil has ruined the whalinc industry
At present the fleet, except one vessel,
is at the wharves waitintr for better
times and an improvement in the mar
ket. The Banks cod fisherv has also
been ruined by low prices, scarcity of
nsn, tne introduction of. larger and
more expensive vessels, and enlarged
cost of fittings. The decay of the mack
erel fieet is due solely to the disap
pearance of the fish."
One feature of the report is unex
pectedly encouraging. The value of
agricultural property and products has
inc reased very materially in the last
few ears.
This -rave problem of loss of popula
tion is a common one in the sparsely
settled farming districts of New Eng
land, but has not come up so promi
nently before in what might be called
a fishing community. It is due to the
fact that the young people seek wider
fields of effort in the great centers of
population. Mr. Wadlin's tables show
a very large percentage cf Americm
born persons above 60 years old and a
correspondingly small number of young
people. The foreign born population
is not large and is not increasing very
fast. There are more Portuguese than
of any other nationality, and they make
good fishermen, industrious farmers
and thrifty citizens.
The report discusses the plan of in
creasing the productiveness of the
cape land by a system of irrigation,
thus transforming the district from a
fishing to a farming community. State
aid and colonization schemes are con
sidered, but no recommendations are
made. Encouraging comment is made
on the increase of cranberry culture,
but this industry alone is not suffi
cient to arrest the downward course of
Barnstable county. Whether it can be
arrested by any means involves th
consideration of social and economic
problems much deeper than appear on
the surface of the report. It is another
exemplification of what Mr. Brice had
in mind when he wrote:
"It is impossible not to regret the
disappearance of a picturesquely prim
itive society which novelists and essay
ists have made familiar to us, with its
delightful mixture of homely sim
plicity and keen intelligence. Of all
the types of rustic life which imagina
tion has, since the days of Theocritus,
embellished for the envy or refresh
ment of the dwellers in cities, this latest
type has been to modern Europe the
most real and not the least attractive.
It will soon have passed away." N. Y.
