LIFE IN CALIroRSIA.-There is. probably, no
place in the world where persons with small means
find It difficult 10 maintain family as in San
Francisco. The merchant, mechanic or aborer, finds
it difficult 10 pay rents and taxes. An ordinary
house, rents for almost much mechanic can
earn, and more than ordinary l,borer re-
alize. The merchant, coming here with two or three
thousand dollars finds his money vanishes almost as
soon : ha turn around. He becomes rashten-
ed in Ms circurstanccs-Giscou ra ged.
As things now stand. III onsancs Of our citizens
would be better OF in the Atlantic States for there if
they cannot much here, thew get comfnrta-
Die dwellings TO reside IN at a small price. They arc
not taxed extraordinarily. If rents reduced
# the Of small could obtain lot upon
which TO build tenement-he might hope for better
times. But so long monopoly eXIsts--so long as
few men control all the real estate in the city, we
may expect that the capitalists only viii prosper
that the poor viii continue 10 be ground to the dust.
