Recent crlmtaai Mis 111 Paterson, N. J., have had the oflhat ot Arlnglgg loto promlneoce some ot tbe blackest features of life in factory Mwns. The revaole aMe of tbe picture la preaented by iMHoa. Carroll D - Wright, atfef of the GovenNftlbnt Bureau of Labor Statistics. Id a recent paper read by him before the New England Cotton Manufacturere' Association in Washington. He protests against the Idea that "the factory creates ifnoranoe, vice, and low tendencies." "It doea bring together a larpe body of comparatively ignorant persons," be says; "it congregates these persons into one community, and benre the results of Ignorance and oi lower standards of life become clearly apparent beoause of the concentration. Before tbe concentration, the ignorance existed precisely tbe same, bnt was diffused and hence not apparent." He continues : advantages of factories. "WebearaflMt deal afgnlJMp sweating system, and'Wo popuia^aMMi ihat tbe J aweotte kjrateaa is U^BSoU / modern lndonMal condranns. ^ kct is, that it Is areadlpt of old ^Btatrlal system.

"We sometime bear of tbe immorality of tbe faotory operatives. I bave no doubt that ? immorality exists among factory operatives, thtf same as it exists in Fifth Avenue, and : everywhere else on earth where men and '' ' women are foond, but I do not believe that it exists in aojr greater proportion In tbe factory than In any other walk of life. On tbe < -other band, I believe that Immoral lives are less frequent among the factory population 1 than among.any other class in tbe community, and investigations, and extensive ones at that. IB this country and abroad teach the , truth of tbla assert Ion. Tbe charge that the 1 faotory breeds immorality among women is not true, and can not be sustained by any ? facta that have ever been collected." THE UPWARD TENDENCY. t Colonel Wright claims that the faotory in g this country has ever been a civilizing Id c floenoe among tbe operatives, "reaching down to the lower strata of society and lifting t them up to a higher standard." While it N may be trne that tbe factory operatives of t , today do not compare, in physique and e Intelligence, with the New England workers^ L of fifty yeara ago, the change is largely due to n ' -I (mtftlavaflnn Whon f ho I _ lUB uu?ntvwi wi luiuji^iwwvu. ? u American and English girls were forced out of the factories, tbey were orowded cot downward, bat Into blfber callings, for "they became tbe wive* of foremen and superintendent, teacbera In the common schools, clerks 1 In stores and coanting-rooras, and lost noth- r whatever by their llle and services In tbe " lkctory." Tbe Irish girls who took their V places were In tarn displaced by French- ? Canadians, Swedes, Greeks, etc., and each c nationality, declares Colonel Wrlgbt, was e benefited by Its experience wltbln tbe factory walla. He adds: t TEXTILE OPERATIVES NOT ONLY A DESIB- t ABLE BUT A VALUABLE ELEMENT IN THE SOUTH. J "The establishment of the textile factory In tbe Soath led to tbe employment of a body of t native people, those born and bred In tbe I South, popularly known as the poor whites, who up to the time of tbe erection of ootton < * factories had lived a precarious existence. To day these people are famishing the textile I factories of the Southern States 'with a class " of operatives not surpassed In any part of ! tbe oountry. Tbe poor whites are now able i> to edooate their children, to bring tbem up In t a way wblcb was never possible ,to tbem be- 1 fore, and thus are gradually an J with more or Jess rapidity becoming not only a desirable c hat a valuable element In Southern populatlon. t~ ' THE FACTOBY MEANS EDUCATION, ENLIGHT- \ ENMENT, AND INTELLECTUAL DE- ^ i # ' v "The experience in the South la simply that j of other localities, whether la this country or la England. The Faotory means education, enllghtment, and an Intellectual develop- 1 > meat, utterly impossible wlthont It?I mean i ' to a class of people who could not reach these things In any other way. It Is an element In social life. By Its educational Influences It ) constantly lifting the people from a lower to ] 'a higher grade. < . ? 1 SANTUC. | j i Serious Accident to a Cyelinl?Death ' il of an Aged Lady. , * *"?
