IL Isl conceded. thatin making TINS com
paruson. we should allow for tle well
known difference between the rate of hire,
by the wear and by the week, the latter
beng always higher. because the loss of
time rom sickness and other causes, falls
upon the laborer, nm the one case. and up
on the employer, in the other. But on
the other hand, the sum allowed for the
mainte0aaCe ola slave Is fan beyond what
u ordinarily costs on a farm or plantation,
and. consequently, beyond what &c would
cost in q uanufac,ory The provisions
annually consumed by a slave, allowing
Mm hundred and fifty pounds Of pork
and three barrels or fifteen bushels Of In
dian corn. viii commonly not cost, excIu-
siyo Of the uncomfortable expense of
cooking, more than fifteen or twenty dol
Jars; and his clothing, comprehending two
complete suits, a hat. shoes and a blanket,
not more than twelve dollars. Besides
Iaborers have often hired within q few years
for thwtv-6ve c. forty dollars a year, In
stead Of fifty. BY these changes the
whole expense ola laboring slave for a
wear would be reduced 20 about seventy
dollars; so that, after making liberal ad
drion 20 this sum for the increased rate O,
bre by the week, We must come to the
conclusion, that labor IN Virginia, dlsre
gardiug its quality, is something cheaPel
than in England.

cotton fabrics within , per cent, suppos-
ing we could add skill to all the other re-

The view that has been herein taken Of
the capacities Of our manufacturers to en-

ers of England, in our own markets, are
very different from those taken by the

of the tariff, we cannot assent to his rea-

In our last number we attempted 10
shew that the fan of prices which our sta
ple com uodites had genoraiyeXperien
iortAe last eight or ten years, had SO low
cred .be value Of agricultural labor as
greatly to lessen one of the impedimeuts
10 manufacturers IN Virginia, that these
low prices of produce were to be ascrlbed
partly, TO the policy of foreign nations; and
partly, 90 the continual increase of our
population, by which the means Of dOmes

Of foreign consumption; and that, as one
Of those causes would not, and the other
could not be changed, there seemed to be

duclye labor from agriculture to other en-
pigments.
Let us now compare the price of ordi-
nary labor in Virginia, which, we ave
seen is less than habits former price, with
thatwhich 10 bears IN the countries which
chiefly supply us with manufactures. But
i1 making this comparison tits in vain 90

ordinary labor greatly varies from year 60

EXCEPT when some contrary change DO the

can be done IS, TO take the average OF diff
fsrent countries, and Of several adjoining
wears. According to such an average.

In comparing the same constituents Of
price with those in England, we consider
ed the amount Of capital required to be the
same IN both countries; the items that were
cheaper in one, being balanced by those
that were cheaper in the other. But as
interest is much lower in England, we will
estimate the profit at one fourth, or p per
cent less than they are in Virginia. The

CAUTION TO PURCHASERS.

This medicine had been used for more than years
before an effort was made to initiate it; but the great
demand for it. and its wonderful success have induced
great number of persons to initiate in various ways
upwards of fifty different mixtures have been got
ND in imitation of it. which is convincing proof Of
its being medicine of great value. Some are selling
sarsapariils and other syrups, imposing them ON the
ignorant for the Panacea; others are mixing the genu
inc medciae with molasses, &c, making three bottles
out of one thus retaining some Of its virtues others
are using the genuine Panacea in their bottles to per
form cures to obtain certificates to give their own
reputation, &c. Some have resorted to perjury
to deceive the public. These limitations and adultera
tons have, in many instances, protracted the suffer
ings of patients in diseases where the genuine Swams
Panaces would have proved instantly eficacious. !
therefore deem it a duty owe the public to assure
