The “mantle of charicy” is woven in the loom of forbearance. The poor we have with us-—-the rich can go to the ceashore. Onacevunt of the high tariff even thermometers have gone up.

Se The July bulletin of the depariment of ‘abor shows that as the years roll on women are more and more occupying remunerative posts hitherto heid by men. In the census of 1870, 1t appeared that 9.63 per cent. of a'l the women 0: the country were employed in remuner ative employment, but twenty years later, as exhibited by the census re- turns of 1890, the proportion of wo. men thus employed had reached 12,51 per cent, ot all the population of that sex. Accerding to the department’s di- gest ot the census returns of 1870 and 1890 it appears that in 1890 more than one-sixth ot the total number of. per- sons at work in the country were wo. men, a8 compared with a little more than one-seventh of the cenuss of 1870. The compiler suys that tne increase in the proportion of women workers is especially noticeable 1m professional service, in which class the women con- stituted in 1890 very nearly one.third of all persons so occupied as ccmpared with less than one-fourth in 1870. Women are also very numerously represented in manufacturing mechan - ical industries and in. trade and trensportation, in clerical positions for the most part. The representation in these branches of mdustry grew from 2 per. cent. in 1870 to7 per cent. in 1890 of all persons 80 employed. . Jn 1870 the number of, women engaged in work was 1,836,288 ; in 1880 it was 2,647,157 and in 1890, 13,914,571.
