The Causes of Depression Discussed by the Commissioner of Labor. THE EFTECT OF HA’ IN THE COUNTRY—IM MIGRATION SAVING MACHINERY—REMEDIES SU TO AVOID DEPRESSION IN THE FUTU Over forty industries, nearly seven hundred. | establishments, and over 150,000 employes are comprehended in the tables w the first report cf the commissioner of labor recently sent to the Secretary of the Interior, Under the head, “The Industrial Depression in the United States,” he s: “It iseasy, from observation, to understand that an indust: depression exists, but difficult to determine to | whatextentit prevails. When the agents of | the bureau left their field work last fall afar | different feeling was noticeable from that exist- ing in the summer when they entered upon the collection of information. From their observa- tions, and from other sources trom which it has been possible to form conclusions, it is un- doubtedly true that out of the total number of establishments, such as factories, mines, ete., existing in the country, about’ 5 per cent were absolutely idie during 1885, and that per- haps 5 per cent more were idle a part ofthe fume, or, for a just estimate 7, per cent of the whole number of such establishments were idle or equivalent to idle during the past year. * * © Ifthe percentage stated above is correct, and it is belies be approximately ‘80, then there were 19,, establishments idle or oquraient to idle, and 168,750 hands out of employment so far as such estabilshments were concerned, during 1885. * * * Applying this Percentage, however, to the whole number of sople employed in all occupations in the nited States, which in 1880 was 17,392,099, there would have been 1,304,407 out of em: ploymet ; but this is a number evidentiy too “ge, because it upplies to all occupations— those engaged in agricuiture, professional and personal service, trade and transportation, me- ebanical and mining industries, and manufae- tures, The percentage shouldbe applied only to those engaged in agriculture, rade and. transportation, mining industries,and manu- factures. There re engaged in these four it branches, as shown by the census of 1880 17,861 persons. Applying the percentage | ved at (74g per cent) we obtain a total of onstituting the best statement of yed in the United States during 1885—meaning by the unemployed those who, under prosperous times, would be employed, and who in 1885 were seeking cmployment— that it has been possible for the bureau to make, It is probably true that this total (In round numbers 1,000,000), as representing the unem- ployed at any one time in the United States, is lairly representative, even if the laborers thrown. out of employment ough the cessation of raliroad building be included.” A MILLION OF MEN out of employment means a loss to the con- sumptive power of the country of at least $1,000,000 per day, or a crippling of the trade of the country of over $300,000,000 per year. | The earnings of the people involved in the | classes named above would not be far from $600 each per annum, representing total earn- Ings of $7,990 6,600, Six hundred doliurs hus beea taken as'an ay ineome for the | number used, because, according to the best es- | Umates, this constitutes a fair average—S400 4s an average for those working for $1,000 for those who were wor! Fe ‘The constitucut parts of the total number lead to the conclusion that $600, taking all into consideration, is a fair average, It is also prob- abl early true that the 1,000,000 out of ployment cannot expend more than $1 m- | b per day for subsistence on themselves and families. The w. lion that should the extent of over $300,000,000 per annum—a | sum sufficient to cause a reaction in business and a general curtailment of expenses, from. whieh resultapprehension and timidity among | all classes. It is curious to observe, however, that while the severity of the depression causes. a crippling to the extent of several hundred millions of dollars per year of the consuming | power of the le, the volume of business transacted is not crippled comparatively to any such extent, WORKINGMEN AND MACHINERY, In those countries, the commissioner says, where machinery has been developed the great- est number of work people are engaged, and in those countries where machinery has been de- velo le Or no purpose poverty reign: ignorance is the prevailing condition and civ. yet if the question should bes eked Has the ke: oul “Has the wage worker received his equitable share of the benetits derived from the introduction of machinery, the answer must be, ‘No.’”” ‘That he has él ‘a8 acon- sumer is true. The modern system of carr; ying on great works by stock companies has done much toward producing in all countries the bad industrial conditions under which the nt generation is laboring. The result has e-earnings followed up to an abnormal degree, and as soon as prosperity ceased temporarily, the foreign mechanic or laborer has remained at home, This constant artificial augmentation of the number of laborers during prosperous y: has had its full share in bringing in the follo" ing period of depression. It is undoubtedly true that during the past fitty years immigra- tion has been of inestimable value as an ele- ment in American industrial progress, but it cannot be said now, and probably not to any reat extent in the future, that America is the ome of the Oppressed of all nations. This ad- vertisement will undoubtediy be withdra as well as that other that there is room enough in the United States for all. IMPORTATION OF FOREIGN LABOR, Many instances might be given to illustrate the ill effects of the inopportune importation of foreign labor—the employment of Hungar- jans tn mining districts, the padrone system in some localities, and other features, not only offorelgn contract labor, but of the employ ment of foreign labor which comes freely on a certain kind of solicitation. So far as the in- vestigation in hand indicates, the employment of foreign labor under contract to take the places of dissatisfied home laborers has been a miserable failure for all castor concerned, except, perhaps, the parties imported. To some extent the imported man has been benefited, for he has been able, by contint his old style of living, to secure what were to him mare velous wages, and alter saving atew hundred dollars, felt that he could return to old associations with a fund which, with little work, would enable him to live in comparative affluence. it is probable that this country could, with benefit to all its industries, from 200,000 to 250,000 new comers an buta much targer number coming in considered as the precursor of depressed busi- ness. REMEDIES SUGGESTED, Considering suggested remedies tor depres sions, the commissioner says, among other things, that “a halt should be made in freely grantin orations, for however val- uable sueh grants may be to the public interest in developing great lines of railways, the result is that the lands constitute a basis toa greater ‘or less extent for speculative purposes, Legitl- mate, voluntary immigration may be too rapid toenable a country developing its industries to assimilate labor irom the outside; but when | immigration becomes a subject of inducement, of contract, forthe purpose of displacing & higher gradé of labor, the result. is Indeed per- nicious, and ail the authority oflaw should. be called in to prevent the continuance of the wrong. This Congress has undertaken to do. To undertake to regulate voluntary immigra- tion is uu exceedingly delicate matter. ‘The policy of the government in all the past, the principles on which the United x | ment is founded,all the traditions of the country, | 1urnish arguments against such regulation, and ese! Been an abnormal organization of capital and of interests aimed at the development of the Industries of the country. Material, labor, cap- ital have been overconsumed to such an extent that overproduction stands for overconsump- tion. The employment of contract labor of for- eign importation, and rapid immigration gen- erally are features which have a positive influ- ence in crippling consuming power. ‘THROWN OUT OF WORK., Ithas been estimated by an eminent authority, and the estimate has not been doubted, that assuming the railway mileage builtin 1882 to have cost, with the equipment, an average of ,000 per mile, more than 766,000 workmen of all classes must have been employed in con- nection with railroad building in that year, while in the building of the tly reduc mi ‘of 1883, with reduction. in wages of say 11 per cent and of 16% per cent In the cost per mile, only 250,000 ‘wereemployed: & great army of 516,000 men thus being dis- charged from railroad work in all its ramifica- Hons in one year.
