WORK FOR WOMEN.
A Leoture Delivered in the Hall of
Philosophy, July 13, 1801. by
Mrs. Emma P. Ewing, of
Kansas City, Mo.
[concluded.]
One cf the ablest teachers of cookery
in this country told me, not long since,
that of the women who had taken
instructions from her with a special
view of becoming teachers in that line
of work, she could conscientiously rec
ommend but a small minority as thor
oughly competent. My experience has
been very similar. A few of my pupils
have proven themselves capable in
every respect. They were studious,
„ laborious, earnest women wbo did faith
ful work and can now command good
paying positions. But the largest pro
portion of them have, from lack of
thoroughness, and not from lack of
capacity, been comparative failures. In
this field of labor the harvest is indeed
plenteous, but the reapers are few.
Half a dozen churches in Kansas City
paid me for a course of lectures in each
of them, more than the average school
teacher can earn in a year; and each of
these churches made more in dollars
and cents out of the lessons than they
paid mo, to say nothing of the groat
spiritual gain that followed their Chris
tian labor introducing better food into
hundreds of homes. And half a dozen
other churches in the same city—if my
time had not been previously engaged
—would have arranged for similar
courses of lessons. I mention these
fact merely to emphasize my statement
that there is an increasing demand for
instruction in cookery and to sustain
me in the assertion that within a radius
of a hundred miles from any given
center, work enough can be fonnd by
an intelligent, skilful, earnest, thor
ough-going teacher of cookery to keep
her actively employed and pay her lib
erally, for at least nine months in every
year. “But how long would such em
ployment continue?’’ is asked by a
number of women who would like the
remuneration, but who shrink from the
labor necessary to qualify them for at
taining it. lam not able to answer
that question, but I know that for every
woman who ten years ago reluctantly
took instruction in the household arts,
at least a thousand are now anxiously
desirous to do so And I am quite
positive that hundreds of women, if
thoroughly qualified and equipped :s
teachers of cookery, could go to work
this coming fall' and find steady and
remunerative employment as such, the
balance of their lives. And along the
other lines of work I have indicated, a
large number of women could find em
ployment, if they earnestly desired it.
AVhy don’t they step forward and take
it? Why do they aspire for far off
positions, when so many near by are
unfilled?
There are at least a hundrad thous
and bake Bhops in this this county car
ried on by men, in which the bread iB
all made by men- And the fewest
possible number of these shops furnish
bread that is satisfactory to their cus
tomers. Very few of them indeed,
furnish bread fit to be eaten, or would
be eaten if their customers could get
better. Why are these shops under the
management of meD? And why ar:
men permitted to make nearly all the
bread, and pie, and cake on sale in
cities, towns and villages? Are women
incompetent bread and pie and cake
makers? Or is too much work required
in such occupations to su’t them?
A woman of ordinary intelligence
can in one day learn how to make bread
of the choicest quality, and if she will
keep up the standard of her bread and
study the wants of the public, she can
in any town or village establish in a
very short time a profitable trade that
will go on increasing year after year.
Good bread is the greatest need of the
nineteenth century. It is wanted in
hotels, restaurants, boarding houses and
private families. It is needed wherever
bread is eaten; poor and inferior bread
is set before people everywhere and is
eaten under protest; when eaten at all.
But for good, sweet wholesome bread,
that is well baked and nutritious, there
is constant demand all along the line.
Let such bread be furnished and it will
find ready sale. But no woman should
open a bakery and expect patronage
tinless she has grit and is prepared to
do honest work and keep the quality of
goods up to the topmost notch.
A great many women who have beeD
in the dressmaking business for years
and earned only a “from hand to
mouth" existence will dispute this
statement and tell you these are excep
tional prices and oan ohly be command
ed by exceptional.women. * * * But
what are the faots? Are they notap.
parent to every one? Dressmakers
abound in every city, town and village
in the United States, but in spite of all,
women’s dresses, as a rule, fit badly, and
in nearly every respect are wretchedly
put together. Many and many a day I
have devoted to “making over” gar
ments that had been nearly ru'ned by
THE JSAXJDTjJLIsnD J~ QTTIEoiISr -A_Xj : IFIREmPAir, AUaUST 14=, 1891.
professional dressmakers, or to cutting,
fitting and making clothing, when 1
was almost driven to death by other
duties, and would gladly have paid two
’ or three pkices for having the work
done in a skilful manner, if I could
have hired any one to do it.
I think Ido not exaggerate when I
say that of the countless number of
washer-women scattered all over this
' country, scarcely one in a thousand
knows how to wash a garment of any
kind, as it should be washed. And a
1 large portion of our national soiled
' linen is sent home by whasher women
more soiled than wh?u it went into
1 their hands; while that which passes
1 through laundries is seldom in better
1 condition. My experience with washer
' women and laundries is very similar to
my experience with dressmakers. My
clothing after being manipulated by
them for a few weeks becomes so
shrunken that I have to discard it, or
so dingy that I have either personally
or by personal supervision, to attend to
its cleansing and bleaching.
To keep the soiled clothing of a
nation clean, healthful and in good
wearing condition, requires intelligence
and skill, combined with a vast amount
of well directed labor, and, for women,
; who have sufficient gumption and
energy to do laundry work in a
Christian manner, there is wealth
waiting in every hamlet and in every
1 cross road. If cleanliness comes next
to Godliness, and if Godliness induces
cleanliness, the spiritual condition of
the men and women who can, year after
year, contentedly wear clothing that is
1 onee a week mussed over by the average
1 launderer. does not indicate a sufficient
ly high standard of Godliness to induce
one to look very hopefully for the
1 speedy coming of the millennium.
Farmer’s wives and daughters used
to be capable of managing churns that
were operated by dogs, sheep or horse
power, and of working and packing by
hand the butter yielded by twenty,
thirty, fifty or more cows. In the in
fancy of some of us, all the butter made
in the United States was made by
women, and although they generally
! labored under many disadvantages,
much of it was equal to the finest gilt
edged butter turned out by the best
equipped creamery of to day. But as
creameries sprang up and machinery
i was invented and introduced for saving
labor in churning, working and packing
butter, women slipped out of daryiDg
■ and let men monopolize the businss
* until now theie is scarcely anywhere a
woman engaged in a creamery, or in
legitimate dairying. It is universally
! conceded that women handle milk,
1 cream, butter and other darying pro
-1 ducts more dexterously, and are in
every respect neater at dairy work than
1 men They are adapted to such work.
! It is pleasant, healthful and profitable.
And if they desire to do it, they can, in
1 a few years have control of the milk
and butter business of the entire
country, and thousands of them find
therein remunerative employment.
1 The demand for honey is rapidly on
the increase, and has always been
1 greatly in advance of the supply.
Raising bees and honey is healthful
> work in which a great many women
' might engage with pleasure and profit.
' And from the immense number of eggs
shipped into this country —between
! thirty and fifty millions annually—one
' would conclude that a good many idle
1 women, if they desired work, might find
1 profitable employment producing poul
-1 try and eggs. Is looking after bees
' such arduous work that it deters women
from attempting it? Or is the respou
-1 sibility of raising poultry so burden
-1 some, that women eschew it?
Fruit raising is a rapidly growing
industry, and at a meeting of the
1 Indiana Horticultural Association last
winter it was announced, as the opinion
of the association, that for those who
wished to earn their own living there
is a profitable field open in horticulture.
On nearly every corner of every
city in the UoioD, there is a drug store,
but in none of them, as far as I know,
is there a woman either as clerk or
proprietor. Why is this? Are women
so careless they can’t be trusted to fill
prescriptions? Or is putting up pills
and powders such arduous labor, that
only able bodied men oan perform it? ,
Eighteen years ago in New York
City, I became acquainted with a young
woman who had conceived the idea that
' fruit could be canned and preserved by
a process superior to any then known.
After my removal west. I lost sight of ,
her, and but for au occasional poem
from her pen appearing in the Century
d/agazine, I might, in my bury life,
have entirely forgotten ber existence. 1
I had, however, been disappointed so i
often and so sorely by inefficient woman '
workers, when I read one of her poems i
I thought of her only as one of the j
incap ibie i, aho had fallen by the wiy |
side, “weary with the march of life ’’ i
But last December, while looking over ,
a newspaper, noticed among the charters i
granted at Springfield, II!., was one to ,
the Woman’s Canning & Preserving
Co., at Chicago, capital stock 81,000,- j
000, with my New York friend, |
Amanda T. Jones, as leading incorpora
tor. Miss Jones when 1 knew her in
York, was without pecuniary
means, but she bad unlimited faith in
her idea, and through all these years
she has been smuggling on, laboring
earnestly for the development of that
idea. And her efforts have been crowd
ed with success. She now-has patents
on the processes, and on the machinery ;
used in the processes of canning and j
preserving all kiuds of fruits in their
natural juices, without cooking, and of
canning foods prepared in a vacuum by
her improved methods. The iutention
of the incorporators, who are all women,
is to open canning establsshments in
different parts of the country, and give
women remunerative employment in a
branch o( business to which they are
belter adapted than men. Will they
accept it?
I know a woman who, at the death
of her husband, found herself cast upon
the world, with three children to sup
port, and with but a few hundred dol
lars that she managed to save from the
wreck of her husband’s fortune. She
knew comparatively nothing of business,
but she saw the necessity of earning a
liying for herself and children, and
scorning the idea of beiDg dependent
upon others for support, she set to work,
drtermidid to succeed. Her first ven
ture was keeping a boarding house-
She took hold of it in earnest, gave it
attention, devoted ber time and
thought to it, and succeeded so well that
slio soon saw her way clear to widen
her field of operations and assume the
management of a hotel. She has reared
her children to be upright, useful
citizens, Las amassed a handsome com
petence, and is to-day the proprietor of
a hotel that it affords me pleasure to
point to as homelike, comfortable and
first class in nearly all respects. The
woman, Mrs. C. H. King, ofWarrem
Pa., no more gifted, or with no better
opportunities than thousands of her sex,
has shown the result of thoroughness
and industry, and has set a worthy
example for other women to follow.
Miss Jones and Mrs. King are only
instances of what women oan ao.
I could give you many such. I
might go on and mention the names ot
women successfully engaged in farming,
in stock raising, in fruit growing, in
newspaper publishing, and in nearly
every other line of work in which men
are engaged, but it would be a needless
waste of time to do so. Why enumer
ate the avocations that are open to
women, or ask why women do not enter
and occupy such and such fields of
labor? All avocations are open to
women, and the world is all before
them where to choose. The conven
tional barriers that once sepirated the
occupations of the sexes have nearly
all been broken down, and in most
directions men and women can take
hold of similar pursuits without objec
tion or comment.
A. few conservative moss-backs may
consider it improper for a woman to
engage in hotel keeping or farming or
stock-raising or merchandising, or
numerous other occupations, but her
having engaged successfully in all of
them proves her fitness and capacity
for such work. And was it not only a
few years ago, by a large majority ot
people, considered improper for women
to become doctors, or lecturers, or even
school teachers? In my girlhood the
air was full of loose talk about the
woman who attempted to earn a liveli
hood by her own exertions, getting out
of her sphere and becoming course and
unladylike. But such foolishness is 1
I
no longer heard in intelligent circles.
A true woman never gets out orbe* 1
sphere, and the woman who becomes
rough or bold or coarse through business
intercourse with the world, is lacking
in the esscutial characteristics of a
gentlewoman, and would not, under any
conditions, or with any surrodndings be
a refined, self respecting lady. The
women wbo court insult are the only
women insulted by American meD.
I see no reason why a woman sLould
not enter any field of labor inclination
prompts her to enter, or take hold of
any honest work she is fitted to take
hold of, that will give her a decent in
come. lam not aware ot any physical
conditions that disqualify women from
engaging in most of the activities of life
in which men engage, and I am firm in
the belief that any useful work a
woman can do creditably is proper work
for women. Why should not it be?
And why should not women engage in
ail manner of employment by which
they can earn aD honest livilihood?
There is such a vast amount of work (
to be doDe in the world that competent] 1
workers are always in demand, and
efficient women never need remain idle -
There is always room for them at the
top. And wherever I go I see so much 1
important work which legitimately be-
longs to women, wholly neglected by j
them and imperfectly performed by t
men —because it baa to be done by
some one —that I weary of the incessant \
complaints about a scarcity of work for 1
women. The need of the present time, *
it seems to me, is not work for women, J
but women for the work, 1
The Paramount Issue.
Judging from leading papers of the
democratic and republican percussion,
the question before the people is the
question of 47 per cent vs. 42 per cent
tariff.
The stringency in the money market,
the unequal distribution of products,
the decline in values and other results
of the present abominable system count
j for nothing with these wiseacres. Brad
I street coolly proclaims that for the first
six months of the year 1891 the failures
aggregated 6,037 with liabilities amount
ing to over ninety-two million dollars.
An increase over the same period last
year of 571 failures and an increase of
thirty millions liabilities. The tens of
of thousands agricultural failures are
not taken into consideration. For the
last ten years the business failures have
been steadily on the increase. Each
year the values of all property have
decreased, thus increasing the interest
rate.
It requires considerable gall for an
orator to get up before an intelligent
audience, and proclaim the tariff or free
trade to be the cause of our ills.
The United States contains 63,000,000
people. Wo own three-fourths of the
railroads, telegraph lines, and labor
saving machinery of the world. We
are only a half developed country. Yet,
by a system of finance whereby a few
men are enabled to absorb the earnings
of the many, four-fifths of the homes
are mortgaged, the people struggling
under a national, state, corporate, mu
nicipal and individual debt of §SOO per
capita, bearing seven per cent interest.
An empty national treasury, and
business failures doubling every ten
years iu number, and quadrupling in
amount of liabilities, yet the beneficia
ries of the system and their followers
seek to divide the people on some issue
that will not matter fifty cents per
capita whichever way it goes. Is it not
time for a change? How long can the
present rate be kept up until there will
come a change.
The Tariff Is all right iu its place,
but the first thing to do is to get an
evuitable distribution of the products ot
labor, so that the producer may reap the
just rewards of his toil, alter which the
question of tariff can be adjusted with
fairness to all. The farmers and labor
ers of this country if united could secure
this change in affairs that would tend
to relieve the people of the burdens
they now bear. The change will come
and the battle between money and man
hood must be fought, and the common
people must fight it; whether by ballot
or bullet remains for them to decide.
Reason would say ; by a united effort at,
the ballot box all wrongs in a free gov
ernment can be righted. We believe
that this will be the method. And
that the time is near, when tariff, whis
key, and personal popularity will give
way to measures and honest men to
enact them into law. The bugaboo of
free trade may do service this year but
its days are numbered. —Geo. B. Lano,
in Industrial Union.

FOR DYSPEPSIA,

Is an effective remedy, as numerous testimo
nials conclusively prove. “For two years
I was a constant sufferer from dyspepsia
and liver complaint. I doctored a long
time and the medicines prescribed, in nearly
evory case, only aggravated the disease.
An apothecary advised me to use Ayer’s
Barsaparilia. I did so, and was cured
at a cost of *5. Since that time it has
been my family medicine, and sickness has
become a stranger to our household. I
believe it to be the best medicine on earth.”

FOR DEBILITY,
Ayer’s Sarsaparilla
Is a certain cure, when the complaint origi
nates in impoverished blood. “I was a
great sufferer from a low condition of the
blood and general debility, becoming finally,
so reduced that iwas unfit for work. Noth
ing that I did for the complaint helped me
so much as Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, a few bottles
of which restored me to health and strength.
I take every opportunity to recommend this
medicine in similar cases.” C. Evick, 14 E.
