THE THING WANTED.

The potato rot, western journals assure US,
is about to be abolished. A citizen OF Mich
igan has discovered its cause and the means
Of preventing or curing it. The secret is not
out however, but tho Chicago Times says
arrangements are being made to bring
this discovery before the people in such a
manner as will best subsefve the interest of
the public and at the same time amply re-
ward the discoverer."
We truth those arrangements will not
absorb too much time; fer good many Of
us will want to be planting our early pota-
toes in the course Of six weeks or So 1t
does seem that the discoserer might afford to
proclaim his discovery at once, and trust to
his public gratitude for his reward. after all
had tested lis remedy, ard proved its value.
We believe providing his secret is
what it is cracked up to be- be might
confidently expect that 100000 would be
made up 10 him BY voluntary subscription
as the Times says of his testimonials:
1--WE learn from these certificates, and the
letters of friends acquainted with this mat
ter, that the theory of this disease, and the
reality Of the cure, have leen tested by sew
en- years, investigation, and four years prac-
cica! use Of the remedy. 1t is said that the
cure is an actual restoration of the potato to
its primitive vigor--that the product is not
only sound, and heavier in weight, hut yields
double or treble in quantity on the same
ground. The vines grow large and strong,
retaining their freshness and vitality until
killed by the frost"

We have more than once warned the man.
ufacturing interests against the delusive pros
poets which the present temporary advance
in prices open for the extension of the manu-
featuring business The spiudles and looms
now in operation are quite sufficient for the
supply Of the market While the English mills
are ready at any further advance to flood US
with their surplus stocks, which win follow
the enormous extension Of the business in that
country. How far the continued emigration
to Australia may enhance the wages Of labor,
and open market FOR the products of labor,
is not known with the abundant resources o.
England. and the low rate of interest, there
is 10 other limit to production than the sup
ply Of the raw material.
