ary of Industrial Growth. ffrom tlic Scientific American. f-.. Among the incidents of tlie recent celebration iu New York of the one hundredth anniversary of the inaug uration ol Washington, the first Presi dent, perhaps the most remarkable whs the civic or industrial parade, which took place May 1, when, it is estimated, over forty thousand' per sons, representing the various modern industries, fell into line and formed a gigantic procession. The spectators were uumhered at over one million. ITudcr the. aboYe heading the New York Tribuuc gives the following in lerestiug article: “The industrial parade, marvelous as k has seemed to the men of this generation, needs for a full apprecia tion a different point of view. How would it have appeared to George Washington and his Revolutionary associates? What, incomprehensible and incredible marvels would they have seen m its machines and inven tions, its arts and its tools, its princely expenditure -by voluntary societies of workingmen, its mirrhty array of well clad, well paid, and comfortable workers? If it weic possible to con trast the industries of 178!), when the world had lived and learned at least fifty-eight centuries, with those of 1889, when only one century more has been added, what a startling con trast! “It is not possible a new world has been created. The methods, tools, products, nud artisans of a century ago. in many departments li ivo van ished as completely as if they belonged to another planet. Whnt has become of the spinning wheel or the wooden clock? The suit of woolen clothes worn by President Washington at his the country has since moved in a sin gle week. “Volumes could he filled, nud yet but a small part of the change within the century -.ould he mentioned. But the revolution in llic condition of the laboring population has been the crowning result of all this pr< gross. Of wages, it is enough to say that ma sons a century ago earned 67 cculs a day in Massachusetts, carpenters 52 cents, blacksmiths 70 cents, and ordi nary labor 80 cents. Food near the farms was cheap, blit pork is quoted hi Massachusetts at. 16 cents per' lb, Hour at 88.16 per barrel, corn at 76 cents per bushel, and 1mm, at 20 cents per pound. Calico cost 58 cents per yard, broad cloth 82.70, buckram 22 cents, cotton cloth 88 cents, and tow cloth 30 cents;. hose cost 81.35 per pair, and “corded Nankeen breeches" 85.50; buttons from one to five shill ings per dozen, shoes of lasting 84 cents per pair, and sugar from 15 to 22 cents per pound. One does not need to study such figures as these very long to discover that the world and the living of to-day were simply impossible for the working people century ago. The whole world has changed, but nowhere has the mar velous advance been greater or for the working millions more beneficent than in these I'nited States.” •‘It n woman is pretty.

PIERCE’S PELLETS address to Congress iu 1789 was pre- 801 ro " s - -V. sented by a woolen factory only es tablished iu the preceding year, and cloth then cost 85 a yard. The peo ple were clothed in the homespuu -made in every family. The power loom for knit goods was not invented _ until 1830. In 1789 two citizens of Norwich asked exemption from poll tax for themselves and their appren tices because they had set up eight stocking frames, which required two men for each. A century ago wool cat ding had been done by hand, but Wbittemore invented machinery to make cards. The first carnet factory in the country was established a littls later. A century ago the cotton giu had not been invented, the spinning jenny was yet an experiment, and the first shipment of cotton to England, only eight bags, was made in 1784. Now the country has raised more than 7,000,000 bales of cotton in a year, and •worked up more than one thous and million pounds of cotton and four hundred million pounds of wool. A century ago only charcoal iron was produced, and not as much of that, probably, as 30,000 tous yearly; “ for twenty years later tho product was but 53,000. Even Great Brit-* iau, in 1788, produced only 68,300 tons, not as much us cither one ot several furnaces in this country now turn out yearly. The manufac ture of steel was just beginning her ; twenty years later only 917 tons were produced in this country. The coars est pig iron then cost as much ub steel rails do now. A single railroad now buys yearly more iron than this coun try then made; but there were neither . railroads then nor iron bridges nor buildings; no petroleum pipes, for ■ there was no-petroleum; no gas pipes, for there was no gas lighting even in ’ .Europe until later. Washington lived in an age of darkness; instead of the electric light the millions had can dies, costing about two cents apiece. _ ‘In nil the departments and applica- ’’ tions of chemistry the century has simply created a new wor’d. Amer ican pressed glass, ‘which has com pletely revolutionized the supply of ta lie and house ware, is an invention of the last sixty years Thesilk manufac ture has not existed iu this country half a century; the paper made a hun dred ycarsago would hardly bethought fit for use since modern methods have been invented; the only use discover ed for India rubber then was to erase pencil marks; nnd while the town of Lynn made 100,000 pains of hoots and ‘vihoes iu 1788,jthey were not the shoes ' of to-day 1 ,‘and" the manufacture by ■ -machinery is wholly due to inventions since 1800. Sewing machines for any purpose were unknown, and salt was maae by boiling sea water, though, in 1787, it was. first made from the springs near Syracuse, at the rate of aliout ten bushels per day-, and the cost soon fell to 50 cents per bushel. “Farming iu Washington’s day knew nothing of machinery; even the first plow, patented in 1797, was a failure, for the New Jersey farmers thought it poisoned the soil. Movers, reapers and harvesters began to be invented about the same time, and even tbe ordinary implements were such as would not now be thought possible to use. The steamboat was practically unknown, and the railroad entirely, until forty years later, and tho cost of transportation by waj confined the area of possible prod tion with profit, as to most crops, * the margin of navigable waters. The 'whole nation' could not produce in Washington’s day as rnpeh tgheat as single Territories, not yet states, now export each year, and when tbe ac counts of a single “vast quantities” exported, they really mean less than AN INTERESTING JUBILEE.
