"Wages in British Siium. — In 1848 tho average rate per month was 48s ; coming down to 18(i4, wo find the average in that year to be 50s ; while in 1874 it stood within n. fi action of 70«. per month. From those figures it will be eeon that whereas tho average rato io«e only 10s. dining the 17 year* from 1848 to 180J, it lias advanced 11s. during tho last 10 yearn. We fioquently ttee utatonvMti to the effect that sailors aie underpaid, but it may be questioned whether the wages of any clusi of men have risen to such an extent, and ho mpidly, uh thoic of ho.i men liave done within tho List fewyearH. A glunce at the table to which wo now refer will show that 80s. per month is a common l ate of piy, while in some cases 90s., and even MH.M,, is the amount earned per month. Nor does it seem that employment had been scarce, According to a foot-note to this return tho Hupciintcndent at Poplar, in speaking of both in 1K72 and 187.$, reports "tlmt thoro h.w been a veiy limited nupply of teamen throughout the yc.u. Masters have managed tofill uptheircrews (hoiiio times with difficulty) but havo had no choico." Now, 70s., 80h., and 100«., per month means something like £40, £50, and £00 por ye ir, and out of this the seaman has simply to pi ovule himself with clothing. With tho exception of tho time he chooses to spend rm shoiu, he jh novcr under tho necessity of upending a single penny. And we think that for mon omployed in an occupation whoro nothing more than common intelligence, combined with a ceitain amount of practical •xpenonco, in icquirod, tins rato of pay en n by no me ma bo considuied madequ it<>. - JS'itulit al Miuja.tnc.
