CHILD LABOR AND
ECONOMIC WASTE
y A. B. larquahor, of York. Pa., In Chi
cago' News.
Wo have hoard much discussion of
tho question of "child labor," both In
opposition and in advocacy, with gen
eral agreomont that Industries making
uso of It derive therefrom Important
economic advantage. To tho apolo
gists tho Importance of this advantage
appears reason enough for tho con
tinuing the system; while tho op-
ponents Insist that It Is moro tlmn
aountorbalancod by arrested develop
ment of the race and ovlls of othor
"kinds on which they lay stress. But
It sooms at loast worth while to give
somo serious attention to the question
whother this confldont claim on the
ono sldo, and concession on tho othor,
ato qulto Justified. I should decidedly
say that they arc not.
If It wore any roal advantage to
of low-grade laborers fnstoad of a
of yow-grade laborers Instead of a
jpmallor forco of tho high-grade sort,
costing him as much In his weekly
pay roil, ho would, as a rule, seek the
former rather than the latter, Uut as
a matter of fact ho does not As a
.matter of fact, tho most successful
manufacturers arc tho very ones most
ready to employ highly skilled work
men at a higher cost. At tho head of
tho list there would bo no hesitation
In plaalng tho world's most successful
business man and greatost philan
thropist. Andrew Carneglo; and no
ono was ever moro alert than he In 1
nis active Dusiness careor to discover
appropriate, advauco and handsomely
compensate artisans of peculiar talent.
It Is truu, to tho groat body of his em
ployes this eminent exemplar of manu
facturing success did pay more than
tho market rates, but he has always
regarded his highest-paid men as those
who most fully earned what ho paid
them, and as being, for that reason,
the kind that ho could most economi
cally employ. The oxperlence of
other manufacturers Is largely of the
same character.
In my own works I have always
sought for the Intelligent operatives,
and many that wore not so intelligent,
It Is only because tho latter alone
wore to bo had.
My conviction is that Intolllgont
lnbor Is economically better, and It
would seem a logical conclusion that
tho labor of vory young children can
not as a rulo bo economically advan
tageous. Many young children aro
om ployed In tho cotton mills of our
Southorn statos, but the majority of
tho mlllownors, so far from being to
btamo for this, have dono nil In tholr
power to stop the evil In somo In
stances building schoohouscs and em
ploying teachers nt tholr own ox
penso: but tho shiftless parents in
sist upon living off the proceeds of
tholr children's labor, refusing to work
thomselves unless the little onos aro
employed. Our work must bo among
the parents and tho framers of the
statutes; wo nlroady liavo tho mlll
ownors with us.
Thos parts of tho country In which
the labor of young children Is employ
ed In factories are the parts In which
manufacturing generally Is In Its In
fancy, Where there Is a longer es
tablishment of Industrial production

of such questions on other than eco

But tho economic question Is far, in
deed, from oxhaustlon when we have
considered only tho conditions of pro
duction of fabrics. A nation has. as I
have no rwed whatevor to remind you,
more important production than that
to consider; and tho economics of pro
ducing fabrics aro trivial In compari

cltizons. Is not tho most nreclous nro-
