ARsner.
We have thought much Of the problem pre-
scented by our correspondent, aud do not know
what counsel to give. A, to public workhouses,
they could not hold a tenth-part of the needy
persons who would now wish to seek their shell
ter. And as to work outside, we can cay nothing
encouraging. We hear N factories, founderies,
workshops, &c, being shut up or reduced to par
tial activity; we can hear OF no place where any
kind of manufacturing or mechanical labor is
wanted. And we fear the two months immedi-
atey before us will be the hardest that the poor
of this City and vicinity have experienced since
the winter of 1888.
Two months ago, had our correspondent sought
our advice in the premises We should have an-
swered-' Get away from the City and the sea-
board as far as possible. Don't say you have
DO money; you can as well travel without money
as stay at home without bread don't speak OF
your family you cannot help your family By
staying here if you have no work; but start
Westward and keep on, inqGiriDg at every cross'
road, until you can find some one who will give
you -FOUR board at least, and something more IL
possible, for what you do until the LIST of
March But now with stern winter full upon
us, we cannot even urge that last resort.
We DO most firmly believe that, If Congress
would 10 revise the tariff as to secure the fabri-
cation at home of the goods and wares We now
import from Europe, aud which might a, we'll be
made here as elsewhere, there would be an i'm.
mediate frightening up of the entire Industrial
horizon. Our mills, furnaces, factories, &c,
would resume or redouble their operations; there
would be workmen wanted to reft establishments
now standing idle or erect new ones and the gen.
eral demand for Labor would be Immediately and
signslly increased. But, while American work
men are unemployed and furnishing, our people
are mainly clad in European fabrics; our iron aud
steel come in good part from England, and our
Specie is drained away to pay for them, COM
pellipg the Banks to contract their discounts or
suspend their payments; so that our employers
can { ct no money, even where they might con-
tinue their regular operations if they csdd only
obtain on good paper cash wherewith TO buy ma
teIials and pay workmen.
ii this visitation Of suffering should teach our
Nation to protect its own labOrers, it will do
greet permanent good. If only the Metals,
Wares and Fabrics which we require for our
own use were hencefoith to be made here, we
SHOULD have work enough and bread enough
throughout. Our laborers are threatened with
starvation because the work which should employ
and subsst tn, IN is going forward in the furnaces,
FORCES and factories of England, France and Ger
mary. Only let US make our own Wares and
Fabrics, snd We may indeed have hard times
again occasionally but so general a dearth of
employment never. Shall we not profit by the
terrible lesson Of this winter
