principally in the cities, as soon as
they become old enough to look out
for themselves. This intlux from
the country, along with the foreign
crs who ilock to our shores, is what
makes our cities grow so rapidly.
The effect of labor-saving ma
chinery and tne great factories upon
the country villages has been most
marked. There is now in thece

maker, the
ry of which in former
w re the cent re Each
r t i uies had its own me
'here was the wagon
tailor, the shoemaker,
the harness-maker, the nlowmaker.
These mn received their support
from the surrounding farms, and
tho money they earned went largely
back to t! e pockets from which it
came. The farmers nought their
wares, and ;hey in turn bought from
the farmers am. from the village
store. Property in the village was
kept in good repair, and there was
an air of neatness and prosperity in
the village w hich is sadly wanting
now. These artisans are gone.
The wagon-maker could not com
pete with the great factories, where
each part is turned out by machine
svhich work with amazing rapidity.
The shoemaker was equally unable
to hold his own against the sewing
machine and the pegging machine,
and the country tailor has gone
down before the sweatshops of the
grej.t cities. Even the picturesque
blacksmith has not escaped. Iu
years gone by he made horse shoes
and horse shoe nails; he forged
chains and made nuts and bolts.
He can now buy these things ready
made almcs". as cheap as he can buy
the bar iron from wh oh to make
them.
All these worthy artisans have
nearly disappeared without leaving
any successors. Some have gone to
find employment iu factories, but
none of the old-fashioned w rkmen
are being reared in their places.
L'he old-time artisans, in fact,
scarcely exist anywhere. Tii 'y are
replaced by men who3 duty aud
training is to watch machines. It
is getting more and more difficult to
find a man who caa in ike an entire
shoe or bind a book or m ike a wagon
wheel. A shoe, to bj completed,
must pass through many, hauls,
each working a particular rra- hii.e.
One cuts it out, another puts the
solo on. another binds it, another
puts the heel on, and so forth. Few
of them do the whole thing. And
so in binding books aud in other
trades. Division of labor is found
to pay the best.
In the meantime the farmer is
buying his machine-made wagons,
harness, shoes and clothes far
cheaper than ho oid of old. In the
reign of Henry VIII Parliament en
acted a law against the large facto
ries, limiting to a very few the num
ber of artisians any one man might
employ in his shop, the object being
to prevent just what has taken place
here. But in England, as well as
in America and in all of continental
Europe, machinery triumphs over
muscle.
