TO WORKINGMEN,

The following from the pen of Amasa Walker,
Esq, of Boston should be read and reflected upon
by every working man in our country.
When the banks ale in full tide fopcration and
create as much circulation us they please, the la
borer is cheated ont of at least one days work in
every week, This is heavy TAN but pay it he
must and hence the strong remark of NJ, Webster,
made in Congress IN 1882, is fully sustained by the
facts in the case lie said "of all the contrivances
for cheating the aborng classes of mankind, none
have been more eirecua than iha, Which dcludes
them with paper money. This is he most cilectu-
nj Of inventions to frr,llize the rich mans field by
the sweat of The poor mans brown
The posi- ion is clear beyond all cavil, and it
Onght to be fully understood and appreciated by
those who work for living They must learn TO
distinguish between nominal and real wages When
! shy wages of workman, (says Professor Vet
bake, in his principles Of political economy, (whal
really pay him, that is, ms real wages, will be
rightly estimated by the amount Of the various ne
ccssaries and uxu,ics Of life which have enabled
him TO obtain. This is the true criterion, but one
that has been too much overlooked in times past.
Now, going on this principle, how is this situation
sustained by facts
Does the expenses Of the currency rob the Ia
borer? Let us examine.
