PRoTEcrIoN TO THE LABoRER.-The
editor of The U. S. Gazette, well says: "No
countrycan be prosperous and wealthy which
does not protect and encourage its own labo-
rers; for labor alone is the source Of wealth
and prosperity. Where industry is protect
ed and encouraged, 'the poor man has a
chance to improve his condition and that of
his children. Who are the wealthy, in this
country? In nine cases out of ten, they are
n,eh who have once been poor, and have
acquired property by industry, prudence, and
economy. Had these men been compelled
to labor, when they were poor, for the same
wages that are given TO laborers in Europe,
few of them would ever have risen above the
condition in which they found themselves in
early life"
