OUR GERMAN VISITORS.
The tour of the German agricultur
ists through our statu will attract at-
tontlon to our resources in Germany.
I In these days the nroduct of child
labor may be considered the price of
blood. A writer in McClure's or the
present month, tells of a child being
doomed to eleven hours night work
daily In a mill, who lost her mental
faculties, ("sorter quit keering for
things,") then her physical powers
gave way and she was sent home
sick, permanently disabled for the
, battle of life. In a recent number of
the Outlook, Lillian W. Betts gives
a graphic picture or child labor in
Now York state. As a sedative to the
public conscience a law is in effect
in that state excluding persons under
14 years from employment In a fac
tory, and those trom 14 to 10 require
a certificate executed by a health of
ficer. But an affidavit from the pa
rent or guardian, properly attested,
certifying that the child is 1C, puts
the Juvenile operative beyond the
reach of the law, which regards this
declaration as tormlnntlvo and final.
Describing a visit to a textile fac
tor)1 within the limits of New York
city, the writer found but two per
cent or the child employes of native
birth. All nationalities were repre
sented: Poles, Russian, Italians, Ger
mans, Finns being In predominance,
A whole group of these would fall
to understand English; few were able
to write their names in the language
mey spoKe. An Incident given in the
narrative is worth reproducing,
"Among the swarthy foreign child
ren whose babv faces nnd diminu
tive, ill-nourished bodies were a pos
itive contradiction to the sworn state
ments of the parents on file, stood
out the refined head and face of an
American boy, 11 or 12, apparently.
There was a certain pathetic apeal
in the boy's eyes that drew the visitor
to him. He answered In a refined
voice nnd with clear enunciation as
to his name and age, responding to
the questions. -How old are you?'
Fourteen.' 'Wheu were you born?'
October 23, 1893.' The visitors were
able to control any expression of
surprise, but asked where he attend
ed school and when he left. At the
noon hour one of the visitors went
to the school to verify the boy's state
ment. The moment the boy s nnmc
was mentioned, the head of the de
partment to whom the visitor tiad
beeu sent, nsked breathlessly, 'What
is he doing?' 'Sweeping floors.' The
teacher's eyes tilled with tears. 'What
crime! A boy with such a mind!
He has nlways attended this school.
Every teacher he ever had loved him.
1011 do not know how hard we tried
to keep him in school. You could not
tire that child s mind, it was as tresh
at 3 as at 9. Yes, there Is his school
record. He will be lu years old next
October (1903). I refused to sign the
school certificate for a week. He
never was ill, never missed a day
from school; we hoped much for his
future. His mother declared he was
14 last October. Of course under the
law, her word, not our school record,
stood.' "
That boy's work certificate, the
writer adds. Issued under the auth
ority of the law and In strict accord
ance with It. protectb him from mo
lestation until lie has worked under
Its protection two years, when, that
being his authoritative age record,
he would be lfi years, and free to
work without it.
Trafficking in certificates is a com
mon piactlce. An applicant for a
work certificate being refused for any
cause, the expenditure or ?1 will pro
cure one from some owner, and the
laxity of the factory inspector nnd
his subordinates leads to numerous
Irregularities, in one plant in boys
and four girls were found working
without authorization, and when the
superintendent ot the works Is ques
tioned on this matter, his answer .s
very apt to be, "This Is a business
proposition, not a philanthropy."
And this evil of child labor is ex
tending In our midst. We boast of
the prosperity which adds wealth to
the country at an unexampled rate,
and keeps every willing worker em
ployed; but to our disgrace be it
said this heaping up of ducats is
largely at the expense of our tender
offspring, whose minds and bodies
are destroyed in the eager struggle
to get rich. Dr. Edgar G. Murphy,
chairman of the child labor commis
sion of Alabama, sayse: "The devel
opment of machinery has made a new
market for child labor. It does not
take much of a human being to run
a modern machine. The thing is so
highly developed that only a tiny
connecting link is required to com
plete the chain of the process." In a
recent address given In Baltimore,
Md.. this official makes resort to sta
tistics. In Maryland during the last
decade, he mentions an Increase of
9 per cent of adult labor In the state,
while child labor showed a gain of
42 per cent. In Baltimore the figures
were striking. During the decade
from 1S80 to 1890 the gain in adult
labor was 43 per cent, and child la
bor showed a decrease of C5 per cent.
In the following decade, however,
there was no Increase of adult labor
in the city, but a gain of 123 per cent
in the labor ot children.
According to a saying or Shake
speare, The whirligig or time brings about
Its own revenges.
Children set to work in factories at
a tender age, deprived or schooling
and parental cares, grow deformed
in body and porverted In mind. An
Instance is mentioned by the writer
of a Russian Jew boy. who attended
school on the East Side. According
to the school record, he was just 13
at the time of his promotion. The boy
displayed the brightest mind In
school, led all his schoolmates and
was endowed with a phenomenal
memory. Shortly after bis advance
ment the boy's father presented him
self with a printed blank, requiring
the teacher's signature as to school
attendance. She expostulated with
the man. "The boy Is too young."
she said, "you are not poor; he has
a brilliant mind and should be given
an opportunity to study,"
The father left In anger, after
shamefully abusing the teacher for re
fusing to sign the paper. The sequel
to this outrage on nature Is told In
pathetic language. The following
September the man returned with his
boy, desiring to enter him as a pupil.
The principal tells the story. "I
looked at them," she says, "tin boy

THE FAIR
Agents for the Raymond Washable Kid Gloves
who had left me a rollicking, happy,
brilliant schoolboy, stood before me
broken and cowed, looking like a
sneak. 'What has happened?" 1
gasped. The father, in a tone vin
dictive and cruel, responded, 'He is
a thler.' The boy shrank within his
clothes."
It developed that the boy had been
set to work with a jeweler, having no
certificate, and attcr a few months
was arrested for stealing. He passed
two days in jail and then his father
purchased his release. When re-nd-mltted
to sehool he was classified
three grades below the one from
which he was promoted, and then he
could not keep up with his work.
Sorrowfully the principal remarkes:
"I think his mind Is destroyed."
Surrounded by evil Influences,
these children naturally take to
wrongdoing. "In one of these
plants," the writer tells us, "a system
of stealing metals has been evolved."
A fence had established himself with
in bandy reach, who paid trifling
sums for the plunder brought him by
these Juvenile delinquents. These
facts lead to the question whether
our statesmanship stands approved
In vitiating and corrupting the grow
ing generation, in order that the bulk
of our manufacturers may be swelled ,
and the accumulation of wealth in-'
creased. "Righteousness exalteth a j
nation" the wise mnn reminds us, r
"but sin Is n reproach."
Western states, where they had been
comfortably situated, and who were
attracted by the cheaper lands in
Western Canada, aro now convinced
that they made a mistake when they
