Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from First Biennial Report of the Bureau of Industrial Statistics and Information of Maryland: 1884-1885
I apprehend that it was the intention of the Legislature to create this Bureau in the special interest Of the wage-workers of the State, and while recognizing the fact, that under our system of society, the interests of one class gre'atly affect the interests of all; that the more extensive our com merce, and the greater the facilities afforded manufacture, the better should be the condition of those who labor; that an enlarged market should increase the demand for workmen, and relatively increase the price Of wages, the distribution Of wealth, and the quantity of home consumption. Yet, experience teaches that in the midst of plenty poverty exists, and that the increase of aggregate wealth by no means proves the better condition of the wealth producers.
