TESTIMONIALS.

I have never seen anything act so promptly as Phenyo-Caffein in sick and nervous Headache. Many cases have been cured, and not any failures reported. H. L. Farrer, Belle Voir, N. C.

For years I have been a terrible sufferer from headache: some six months ago, my physician prescribed Phenyo-Caffein, and since then, by their use, I have not had a severe headache, being able to stop them completely in their iucipiency. J. H. Stannard, Concord, N. H.

You hit the nail on the head when you put Phenyo-Caffein on the market. They are the best thing out for headache. E. P. Jones,M. 1).,

Orleans, Mass.

One year ago I was one of the greatest sufferers from sick and nervous headache that I ever knew. I no more have trouble with sick head ache, and seldom have even a slight headache. I attribute the great change to your Phenyo-Caf-fein, a remedy I could not do without if it cost $5 a box. I have tried a dozen or more medicines [warranted to cure] without their even helping me. I can not praise your valuable preparation enough. Frank S. Schmitt,Seymour,Ind

The report of the Commissioner of Labor gives the amount paid to 2-41,910 employes. The following pages give the compensation paid 784,285 employee, that being the number of employes on all the roads, as given ^y the last report of the Inter-state Commerce Commission.

It is assumed that the pay to the 784,285 is at the same rate paid the 241,910. The Commissioner of Labor divided the latter number into eighteen classes, according to the amount of pay, and tho 784,285 are divided in the same way, the number in each class being greater in proportion as 784,285 is greater than 241,910.

Thus 42.10 per cent., 530,183 received less than $100 a year, say on the average 850, amounting to 810,509,150. 13 90 per cent., 109,015 men, received over $100 and not over S200 a year, say on the average S150, amounting to 810,352.250. 8 90 per cent., numbering 69,897 men received $200 a year and not over $300, say on the average $250 per year would amount to $17,254,250. 8.30 per cent., numbering Go,095 men receiving over $300 and not over $400 a year, say on the average $350 a year, would amount to $22,823,250. 8.50 per cent, numbering 96,6G4 receiving over $400 and not over $500, say on the average $450, would amount to $29,998,800. 0.70 per cent., numbering 52,547 men, receiving over $500 and not over $000, say on the average $550, would amount to $28,900,850. 4 per cent., numbering 30,971 men, receiving over $600 and not over $700, say $650,would amount to $20,111,150. 2.50 per cent, numbering 19,607 men, receiving over $700 and not over $800, say $750 on an average, would amount to $14,705,250. 1.60 per cent., numbering 12,548 men, receiving over $800 and not over $900, say on ths average $850, would amount to $10,665,800. 1 per cent, 7,842 men receiving over $900 and not over $1,000, say $950, would amount to $7,449,900. 8-10 of one per cent., numbering 6,272 men, receiving over $1,000 and not over $1,100, say on an average $1,050, would amount to $6,585,600. 7-10 of one per cent,, 5,488 men, receiving over $1,100 and not over $1,200, say on the average $1,150, would amount to SG,311,200. 3-10 of one per cent., numbering 2,352 men, receving over $1,200 and not over $1,300, Bay on the overage $1,250,would amount to $2,940,000. 2-10 of one per cent., numbering 1,568 men, receiving $1,300 and not over $1,400, say on the average $1,350, would amount to $2,116,800. 2-10 of one percent., numbering 1,568 men, receiving over $1,400 and not over $1,500, say on the average $1,450, would amount to $2,273,600. 1-10 of one per cent., numbering 784 men, receiving over $1,500 and not over $1,600, say on the average $1,550. would amount to $1,215,200. 1-10 of one per cent., numbering 784 men, receiving over $1,600 and not over $1,700, say on an average $1,650, would amount to $1,293,600. 1-10 of one per cent., numbering 784 men, receiving over $1,700 and not over $1,800, say on an average $1,750, would amount to $1,372,000.

In dividing the 784,285 men in the 18 classes some fractions were dropped and there may be some errors otherwise, but it varies only 1,196,

that it

does not vary one third of a million dollars from absolute precision, and for the purpose here intended is sufficiently correct. This table shows that 439,193 men, being 56 per cent, of the men employed on the railroads, receive $32,862,400, while 27,442, being 3| per cent, of the men employed, receive $31,557,900, so that less than 4 percent, receive very nearly as much in the aggregate as 56 per cent, the former receiving the highest rate of wages, and the latter the lowest.

Taking out the 27,442 receiving $31,557,900, leaves the average earnings per year, p6r man for the remaining 745,225 men at $235.

Taking out 103,125 men receiving $500 and not over $800 per year, leaves 641,170 men receiving on the average about $135 a year, so that 81.70 per cent, receive $102,937,700 in the aggregate, while 18.30 percent receive $105,940,950, $3,105,250 more than half of what is paid for labor.

The 784,285 men are not employed on full time. As already seen, when 330.183 of them receive only $50 a year on the average.

On page 160 of the 5th annual report of the Commissioner of Labor, the statement is made that 105,807 men. if employed on full time, would have done the same amount of labor performed by 224,570 men.

The average amount per year received by the 224,570 men was $243. While if the men had been employed on full time the 105,807 men would have received $515 each a year.

Applying the same ratio to the 784,285 men the work they did could have been done by 319,510 men working full time. So that it may be said the railroads employ 319,510 men, taking the report of the Commissioner of Labor as the basis for the calculation, and at $515 as the average wages a year will give the total amount of wages paid for labor for 1892 by all the railroads aa $200,397,650. This amount was paid for labor, the laborers boarding themselves.

It is not probable that the roads mined their own coal, but in order to see what a wide field of labor

WBB

worked over, it will only be necessary to

give a list of foremen of the different divisions of labor. There are foremen of all the following laborers: Blacksmiths, boiler makers, brnss moulders, brick layers, bridge carpenters, bridge I gang, cabinet makers, car cleaners, car inspectors, car repairers, car smiths, car works, carpenters,coal heavers, contraction gang, copper smiths, dock laborers, draw tenders, drillers, elevator h'.inds, engine hands, engine carpenters, engine cleaners, engine house, extra gang, fence gang, lloating gang, freight car works, freight handlers, fuel preparers, gravel pit, ice gang, inspectors, laborers, linemen, linkmen, locomotive works, lumber yard, machine shops, machinists, masons, miners and quarry men, motive power, moulders, painters, passenger cur works,pattern makers, pavers, pier laborers, pile drivers, planing mill, porters, pumpers, quarry men, road, rock gang, road men, round house, section hands, shop, signal men, snow shovelers, stables, stevedores, stockyard, stone cutters, slone masons, Btone quarrv surfacing gang, switchmen, tallymen, tallymen and checkmen, telegraph gang, tie gang, tie hoist, tinners, tinsmiths, track laborers, transfer laborers, trimmers, upholsterers, warehouse, watchmen, water supply, well diggers, wharf hands, wipers, work train, yard. All this vast network of labor on nearly one hundred and seventy-iive thousand miles of road. Trainmen, such as engineers, firemen, conductors, and brakemen, seem not to be included.

All this work is done for about $200, 000,000, the laborers boarding themselves.

It would seem that the laborers should have more than one-sixth of the income of the roads, but as they receive $515 a year on the average, counting full time. This is far more than is paid on the average to those who raise our corn, cotton, and wheat. The value of those three crops for 1888 was $1,354,948,819 and were raised on 132,067,J92 acres. Then if the cost of labor to raise and market them was in the same proportion to their value, that the cost of labor is to the revenues of the railways about one-sixth. The cost of labor to raise and market those three crops would be about. $225,000,000, which would be less than $1.75 per acre, and this probably is no more than it will cost to plani and seed them, to say nothing of the greater part of the work yet to be done.

To raise and market seventy-five acres will take the labor of one man a year, and at this rate it would require the labor of 1,760,898 men to raise and market those three crops. It might prove, however, on a more careful estimate, that the labor of one man for 313 days would do all the labor required to raise and market 150 acres of cotton, corn, and wheat. If so, then 880,449 men would raise and market those three crops. Then if 369,510 men in operating the railways produce a revenue $1,200,000,000, 880,449 men in raising cotton, corn and wheat should raise crops of the value of $2,S60,000,000 if labor in agricultural was as profitable as in railroading.

It might be said that to ascertain the cost of labor on the railroads, by the principle of general average, as ii done above was too vague and uncertain. It cannot be claimed for it that it is absolutely correct, but tried by another test, it may be said to approximate very nearly the amount that is paid for labor by the railroads.

At page 160 of the 5th annual report of the Commissioner of Labor it is shown that 224,570 men earned $54,507,450, and that 105,807.14 men would have done the same labor if working full time. If 224,570 men earn $54,507,450 in one year, then 784.285 men receiving the same wages would receive, in round numbers 190 millions of dol lars. By this test it would appear that dividing the eighteen classes as ei.ch earning the average sum within whicli they are classed is too high, but still the two methods vary only Bbout five per cent.

.Rev. David B. Greigg who graduated from Wabash College in 1885 and who is now a leading minister in Baltimore, has created a sensation by his position in the Briggs case. A special from Baltimore says:

Rev. Dr. D. B. Greigg, pastor of the Twelfth Presbyterian church, in a prelude to his morning sermon to-day, said of the action of the Presbyterian General Assembly in suspending Rev. Charles A. Briggs for heresy: "To my mind the conviction of Dr. Briggs is a conviction of hundreds of the ablest and best ministers of the' Presbyterian church at large. It brands the leading ministers of New York, Albany, Cleveland, Cincincinnati, Washington and Chicago ns her:tics and unworthy of a place in the church to which tbey have dedicated their lives. Truth may be ontvoted, but it may be done at a tremendous cost. Three years hence, or less, the General Assembly of the Presbyterian church wiil take back into her fold the man whom she has ten dayB ago branded as a heretic."
