SATURDAY. -AUGUST l. 1SS3
THE INFLUENCE OF MECHANIC
AL INVENTION.
In a recent issue of JiradstreeVs
tbe subject of "Progress in manufac
turing' is touched upon, and it is
shown by reference to researches of
Mr. Edward Atkinson to what extent
tbe world is indebted to mechanical
invention for the great abundance of
useful commodities. The result is
shown in a clear manner by the aid
of charts, for the purpose of illus
trating his argument or theory, Mr.
Atkinson selected, among other in
dustries, the manufacture of cotton
sheetings, comparing the prices and
other figures of 1810 with those of
1883 and 18S3. The data were ob
tained from two mills which have al
ways been successful.
In 1810 the product of cotton
sheetings per hand per year was O,G00
yards, while in 18S3 it was 28,032
yards, an absolute increase of 190
per cent, in efficiency of labor grow
ing out of improvements in ma
chinery. In 1810 the number of spindles was
12,500; in 18S3 it has increased to
30,800, an increase of 11G per cent.
The value of product per hand in
1810 was 305: in 18S3 it was $1,973,
an increase of 127 per cent
The rate of wages per hour in 1810
was 4:49 cents. In 18S3 it was S"S0
cents, an increase of 9G per cent.
The rate of wages per year was
175 in 1810, and in 1SS3 2S7, an in
crease of Gl per cent.
The number of operatives in 1S10
was 530, in 1883, 527; remaining about
the same, while the increase in ma
chinery was about 18G per cent.
The hours of labor were 13 in 1810
and 11 in 18S3, being a reduction of
about 15 per cent. In 1810 the price
of cloth was about 9 cents, while in
1883 it had been reduced to about 7
cents, being a reduction of about 22
per cent.
Estimating the proportion of price
to profit on fixed investment at 10
per cent, tbe profits in 1810 were 118
cents, in 1883, 013 cents, being a de
crease of 80 per cent in the pro
portion of the product assigued to
profit
Mr. Atkinson has summarized the
progress as follews:
"Fifty years ago the average earn
ings of all tbe operatives in a large
cotton mill, who wore worked thir
teen hours or more a day, and among
whom were comprised a much larger
proportion of men than at the pres
ent time, while tbe women were older
and there wero fewer children, were
2.50 and 2.G2 a week. The quanti
ty of machinery which each hand
could tend was much less; the pro
duction of each spindle and loom was
less; the cost in money of the mills
per spindle or loom was much greater,
while the price of cloth was at limes
more than double the price at which
it can now be sold with a reasonable
profit. The average earnings of all
tbe female operatives in what pur
ports to be the same factory, at tbe
present time, on tbe same fabric,
working ten or eleven hours a day,
are 5 per week, and in some cases
even G or more to the most skillful.
That is to say, women now earn
about twice as much in ten hours as
men and women combined averaged
in thirteen hours then. Tbe course
of events has been as follewt: A
continuous reduction in the hours of
labor, coupled with an increase in
the earnings per hour; a diminution
in the ratio of capital to production,
coupled with an increase in its pro
ductive efficiency; a constant increase
in the supply of cotton fabric3 per
capita, coupled with a decrease in
the price; a constant iucrease in the
purchasing power of gold dollars in
respect to almost all articles of nec
essary subsistence."
It is pointed out that these facts
afford a complete demonstration of
the fallacy that high wages and high
cost of production are synonymous;
that the rate of wages is only one of
the many elements instead of the
single important element in deter
mining the cost of production in any
industry; that it is quite possible
that the highly paid labor in our
best cotton mills costs less per pound
or yard of product than tbe "pauper
labor'' in English mills, and that if
the obstacle of obstructive tariff tax
es on sundry things which they have
to use were cleared away, American
manufacturers would be more able
to hold their own.
ENGLAND'S NAVY.
The English nation has never laid
much stress upon the importance or
strength of its army, maintaining
that as Great Britain was an insular
power, there was no necessity for the
huge enrollments of men that were
apparently called for by the circum
stances of the continental nations.
But the navy has always been their
especial pride, and they have spared
neither money nor trouble in making
it, not the equal lnerefo', but by far
the superior, of any other in the world.
They have been taught to believe it
is so, and have felt sccuro in that be- i
lief. But a pang of suspicion has
lately shot into the minds of the
British public on this subject Beli-
ablo accounts have been published of
the strength and efficiency of the
Russian navy; the naval reports of
Italy have shown that this power
possesses two exceedingly formid
able ships, which the stoutest iron
clads under the British Hag
would hardly be able to resist, and
glowing Frenchy narratives told of
the wonders of tbe French iron-clad
men-of-war. Just as the English
public had fully absorbed these par
ticulars, the channel fleet bsgau a
series of evolutions on the Irish
coast to display the skill of the men
and the effectiveness of tbe vessels,
and to the mortification of every
body connected in any capacity with
the navy, the evolutions proved a
fiasco, even the torpedo boats, till
then deemed the most dreadful
among tbe nation's engines oC war,
turning out complete failures. The
result was a shudder of borror
throughout all England, and, in im
agination, the 33rilish householder
beheld the Bussiaus descending upon
the coast, and the battle of Dorking
fought in the next county with Cos
sacks instead of Germans as enemies.
The result has been such general
alarm in Xact that the admiralty have
determined upon thorough investiga
tion into naval affairs, with a promise
that if England's iron walls be not
found superior to those of any other
nation, they shall at once be made
so, and with this guarantee tbe Brit
on now breathes more freely.
U'OMZMEXS WAGES IN iwt.
In tbe great cities unskilled work
men wero hired by the day, bought
their own food and found their own
lodging. But in the country, on the
farms, or wherever a band was era
ployed on some public work, they
were fed and lodged by tbe employer
and given a few dollars a month. On
the Pennsylvania canals the diggers
ate the coarsest diet, were housed in
tne rudest sueus, and were paid ?b a
month from May to November and S5
a mon lb from November to May. Hod
carriers and mortar-misers, diggers
and choppers, who from 1793 to 1S90
labored on tbe public buildings and
cut the streets and avenues of "Wash
ington City, received $70 a year, or
if they wished, 00 for all tbe work
they could perform from March 1 to
December 20. The hours of work
were invariably from sunrise to sun
set. "Wages at Albany and New York
were three shilling, or, as money
tben went, forty cents a day; at Lan
caster, $S to 10 a mouth; elsewhere
in Pennsylvania workmen were con
tent with $G in summer and 5 in
winter. At Baltimore men were glad
to be hired at eighteen pence a day.
None, by tbe month, asked more than
SO. At Fredericksburg the prico of
labor was from 3 to $7. lu Virginia
white men employed by the year were
given 1G currency; slaves, when
hired, were clothed and their masters
paid 1 a month. Around Virginia,
a pound was, in federal money, 3.33.
The average rate of wages the land
over was, therefore, SG5 a year, with
food and, perhaps, lodging. Out of
this small sum the workman mnst,
with bis wife's help, maintain his
family.
According lo the San Francisco
Courier the great glacier of Alaska
is moving at the rate of a quarter of
a mile per annum. The front pre
sents a wall of ice 590 feet in thick
ness; its breadth varies from three to
ten miles, and its length is about 150
miles. Almost every quarter of an
hour hundreds of tons of ice in large
blocks fall into the sea, which they
agitate in tbe most violent manner.
The waves are said lo be such that
they toss about the largest vessels
which approch the glacier as it they
were small boats, llie ice is ex
tremely pure and dazzling to the eye;
it has tints of the lightest blue as
well as of the deepest iudigo. Tbe
top is very rough and broken, form
ing small hills, and even chains of
mountains in miniature. Tbi3 im
mense mas3 of ice, said to be more
than an average of a thousand feet
thick, advances daily toward the sea.
