LABOR VS.. MAcHINERY.-We have at
length become thoroughly apprised OF the
fact, that machinery is in form dable and
alarming competition with human labor;
that, strange to state, machinery has NOT
frightened the cares nor relieved the burdens
Of the laborer, but has literally added TO
both, in so far as it has made lnnor abun-
dant, and easy to purchase. 1t has come
to neilher.m more or less than this: that the
laborer must work very hard and very hard
and very long. for very little. Why! Be-
cause The law of trade is, 20 get as much rs
you can for as little money. And though
the land overfowed with abundance. the
laborer-the actual producer-would he
entitled TO that quota and no more, 10 which
his cheap bought services would be equal.
Taking this view of the subject, il IS ;olcra-
bly, easy to explain the marvellous phe-
nomenon exhibited In Europe, where are
seen side by side, the utmost restitution,
and the greatest affluence. The county is
tecming with riches, and the population
are starving They raise enough. but
others eat it; they manufacture enough, but
though ragged themselves, the goods either
rot or the shelves, or are sent 10 clothe
the Chinese. Machinery there has driven
men to distraction. Having no work TO do
they have not the wherehlhal TO purchase,
hence their disttu:on.
What Of argument there may be in the
frequoni illusions we hear - tho heavy
taxation and ty rannica bearing Of England
we are not prepared TO say. But tighten
the burdens Of the working classes, and
what then? Is ii not palpab.e tina! accor-
ding 10 that law Of trade by which an ar
ticle desends in price to its minimum
value, that Their piltance would be light
ened also? Thousands stand rendy 10
work. if they can get work, even at the
loves, possible point ofsubsistence, no mat
ter how stands the account with the Gov
ernm-nt. When we say that machinery

that business is overIone. Prices are
