impplenu'nt to ®hc Jhulii Jerald. The Savannah Daily Herald Tl»e White Slaves la England. These sad alaiemeois are made, tlirouih the London Times, by Dr Jolm CWea Hall, senior physician to the Sheffield Public Hospital : Suppose a maker ol razors wishes lobaio a certain number ot razor-blades ground, be sends them Uj a grinder. This man hires the room in which he grinds, and the power with which bis stone is driven. He becomes the occupier of a portion of the room in which he grinds, and the trough in which he carries on nis trade. He, too, often hires this room and this power at the cheapest possible rate, and with reckless indifference as to the number of dry grinders, who may he working in one low, dirty, badly ventilat • 1 ‘hull,’ without the protection of the fan. The number of cubic teet of air requisite to maintain the body in a healthy condition never lor a moment enters into his calcula tion. How should it ? Many of these men began their trade at the age of ten—they are altogether uneducated and destituted of that intelligence which education can alone bestow ; the evil has thus a natural landeucy to perpetuate itself. It must do so —it will do so, until the children of our Sheffield grinders are sent into the school-room instead of the grinding hull. I therefore, sir, am decidedly of opinion, after giving many years of careful and anxious attention to this ques tion, that the first step for effecting an im provement in the religious, moral and physi cal condition of these men will be for the legislature to prevent the employment of children in aDy grinding wheel, either in the processes of grinding, glazing, polishing, wiping, &c. “ I have already shown that tho early age at which children are but too often sent into the hulls of the grinding wheels prevents the possibility of anything deserving the name of general or religious knowledge being im parted. Consequently these boys grow up and remain in a state of ignorance—l might truly write, of barbarism—that, did they happen to possess black skins and to live a few thousand miles from our fatherland, would open r field for missionaiy labor the most wonderful, and in course of time would supply the May meetings with matter as in teresting as exciting. Only fancy what de lightful tracts, in the highest degree sensa tional, might be writteo, founded on tlio evidence just presented by the Children’s Employment Commission. But the grinders live at home, and, therefore, disregarding the people who are always ready to do good by some ‘magnificent impossibility,’ 1 am contented still to pursue my labors, confi dent that in the end I shall not have appeal ed in vain to the common sense and philan thropy either of my fellow-townsmen or my fellow-countrymen. The physical as well as the religious and moral condition of the Sheffield grinders de mands, therefore, that boys should no longer be sent into the hulls at an early age. Boys first are put to the task of glazing and pol ishing the different articles. I have seen boys under twelve years of age whose lungs were affected with the grinder’s disease, and from this age until twenty it is not at all uncom mon to see the existence of the disease. On remonstrating with many of the grinders for bringing their sons into the wheel at so early an age—rnd, bear in mind, the sons of griud ers are the youngest boys to be found enga ed in this trade—l have frequently been met by the reply-. ’We cannot live withont ma king use of them: there is so much under selling, and the prices are so low that we could not fiud power and tools and live, did we not bring our children to this work. There is, no doubt, some truth iu the above remark. The competition is unquestionably great, both for the home and foreign mar kets. This immense competition, which ex ists in many branches, the manufacture of article to supply the ‘Cheap Jacks,’ and oth ers who frequent our markets and fairs, of articles which are made to sell and not to use, both at home and abroad, has doubtless, caused many boys to be employed; the fath ers remarking, with some degree of justice, ‘that inferior goods are charged so low, they are obliged to make little boys work with them, or they could not get a living.’” IN" otic©.
