UL sdV AL, A consolidation of the Postal, Ameri. an, Rapid and Bankers’ and Merchants Telograph companies is spoken of here wmong telegraph people, as being almost ertain, It is stated that negotiations wre now going on between the controlling snrties of these three lines, for the for uation of a powerful opposition to the Western Union company.

The corporators procure chartors that bind them never to never failed to find a legal way to evad, auch restrictions by making combinationt that destroy competition as absolutely ar consolidation could do it. A few years ago Jay Gould came for- ward with his grand American Union telograph achemo. It was purely « benevolent scheme, thit was to revolu- tionize telegraphic communication in thix country and reduce the cost of dispatches almost to letter postage. Within less than two years Jay Gould's telegraph anaconda swallowed the West- ern Union, and the mammoth consoli- dated became a greater monopoly than dver. Gouldand his partners in the raid on Western Union, cleared a few millions through Credit Mobilar con struction companies, that built lines for the American Union at enormous profits. and by a libera} watering of stocks that were merged into Western Union after the consolidation, And the poor lambs, whom Jay Gould came to rescus from the rapacious Western Union wolf, are floeced worse than ever. The reduced rates had to be mised in order that the inflated and watered atock should yield a dividend on fictitious capital. This is not merely the experience with the American Union, which swallowed its great rival and was by it swallowed in the end; but it is the history of all rival telegraph lines that have come into existence and have been consolidated dut of existence during the past twenty years.

Now they might puncture Mr. Gould at every pour and York, Brooklyn and Philadelphia. 1t is apparent that the number of people wha can earn their bread as operatives is gradually increasing. The amount enined annually by them is also increasmg, In 1880 the 227,202 persons engag-d in wanufacturing pursuits in New York city earned $97,030,021, or $427 each for the year. In this number of wage workers is of course a considerable num- ber of children, women and unskilled workmen, who do not command first, or oven second-class wages. The average of earnings is thus cut down by these inferior classcs of operatives, yet'it is a surprisingly good one. In Philadelphia the average was $346 for the year, or about $)a week for men and $5 for women. Statistics taken forty years ago show the averago weekly earnings to have been about $6 to 87 for men, and wore skilled in a limited number of pro cesses, and so capable of turning out a wreater amount of work., Beside this, the variety of things now made by wachinery " has incveased a hundredfold, making it possible not only for the uinu facturing class to e in num L but for the employer to pay hetter wages than were pni«l‘ in the days of hand work With improvements in the organization of labor and the introduction of better machinery, the result could not be other- wise.
