7. We hardly agree with our correspondent that
the Lsboring Glasses OF our City are an1lously
seeking the means Of overcoming the evils which
$, grevoUsly opp-ess them Those VINO are im-
niediately 10 trouble may be. but we sck evidence
that the great mass intent on anything oi the
KIND There is not a single association, reading
club or other periodic gathering Of any note OF the
Woi king Men Of our City to discuss thoroughly
Z e evils OF their condition aud discover the means
OF removing them II they 'oe'e in earnest on tbis
subject, they would have some common place o
meeting. Of capacity TO se1t two or three thou
sand and weekly evening meeting to discuss

ally Try. they would very soon understand that
tey now work agair when they should worn
fer each other-that they sell ther labor ct toe
H. Sest prce and buy tho products they need at the
h'shest-that they are paying out Of their own
ranks at least twenty five per cent profit On the
oducts Of their Labor, when they might as vel
exchange those products directly with each other
a.i save this amount. That Is to say, the sctual
WORRIES are selling Hats at s. each and buyins

bay ing them back at e. selling Goats at 81 5 and
buying them back at $40, aud 40 on. Any pariicu
la mdiV dual who makes Boots may only buy and
pay profit on his Hats Goats, &c. but the Worb-
iog Class sells almost the uhoie product Of IL,

vance-not TO speak OF those who cell and do nj
ct paid. II any suppose that Labor is ever to
extricate Itself from tins labyrinth without evinc-
ug some forecast, wisdom, and sc denial On its
own pat, we apprehend they are mistaken.
We must take another occasion to illustrate
further the means Of Labors Emancipation.
II. Az TO Il law to secure to Workers, male and
male, the honest eward Of their toll, aud punish
the sharks who now prey upon it, we believe such
cru be framed. II our correspondent does not
feel competent TO draft 1t, ct him take care to

Legislature who . competent and not only com
