natural advantages which Illinois lacks but Illinois,
on the other hand, in her position with the great

and, SO long as they both buy their Manufactures

,,s.;cs f,,r,e,s4 BY Mr.. Potter, the briush

-. r,neral condition Of the laboring classes IN
Focisnd within the last twenty years and the
.,teyenoe We drew was that wherever there ~
an actual increase N wealth, the producing
cIasse. must experience an aneliorstion Oh theH
condition, and that the tendency OF such increase
must ALWAYS be toward greater and greater
e.aalj,y in the distribution oil property. We
now have other facts 20 offer on the same
subject.
These facts We find In an excellent article by
Mr.. T.. PEsHINE SMITH, in the last number of
Hunts Koch0nts' Magazine, upon the Law Of
Progress in the Relations of Capital and Labor.
They are derived by him from some tables pre-
pared by n. A. Moreau de tonnes, 10 show the
condition and wages of the Agricultural class
in France .dsring the last hundred and hity
years NJ de Jonnes is recognized as the hlgh-
est authority in such matters, and hls figures
have not to our knowledge, been disputed. His
statements on this subject are the frui, OF
twenty five years Investigation. We give them
in the words OF M Smith.
The first table contains a statement OF the aggre-
gate expenditure at different epOchs, for the cutVa-
ton OF Inc soil OF France Excluding the vaue OF
the seed,) in millions OF fIancs-of the proportion
which the sum total of wages bore 10 the whole value
OF the product Of the soil--and of the amount per
head TO the actual population of the Kingdom al
each epocb Of such expenditure, as follows.
