Vo. They benefit them. Machinery lncreaaea

often men, the bone rake tbe work or twenty
men, the power threeber tbe work of alttymcn,
yet the wages of farm laborer! bare doable* since
tbete auxiliaries were Introduced. Tbe aewlog

cren the wages of sewing women hare Increased
fince that musical helper took Ha place at their
aide. And, tbe price of commodities does not cor*
respondlngly Increase with wages. Iuatccdof in
creasing, tho price of almost all that the laborer
needs has gone down, till four hours of labor today
will bny more of the necessities and loiuriesof
life than eight boors of labor would buy thirty
years ago. When tbe first railroad penetrated tbe
interior of New York itate, tbe farmers mobbet its
contractors and drove them away, because they
