are indissouby connected, have, as yet, no spe-
cial organ devoted mainly to the advocacy of
their claims, and the record oftheir joint progress
With the general diffusion of pracuca education
among the people, their industrial prosperity must
naturally be placed on more permanent basis,
and the condition of the working classes, in every
branch Of enterprise, proportionably elevated and
improved. 1t is IN accordance with these views,
