WHY if all the cultivated land in the United states
were powed on average twelve inches deep III
stead of three inches OF less it is now the pro-
duce OF the country would be more than doubled

case il is not too much say that Spectators would
find better employment for their own, or their Dor
rowed capital than in buying up crops of grain iru
butter cheese or meal peddle out to the poor un-
fortunates who work and starve in cities
The evil complained of is not in the banks when
furnish the money II is much more the fauit o'
the farmer who wthdraws his capita! to invest IN
bark stock or on bond and mortgage, and perhaps
takes his own and his sons labor from the held 10 en-
gage in trade in the very speculation that our COT
respondent complains of. This consideration leads
us TO the remedy for this great evil suffered by all the
workng-class of towns and cities; grinding them
down 10 bare subsistence and weighing Ike an IN
IL. To- for . o All their Efforts
to increase their wages do no goOd-they live no oei-
ter now than they did when they worked for just one
half what they get now; and thousands are In tue
sane condition and do not know how to nd them
selves Of this curse of constant toll for mere sub.
sstance-for slaves wages For the difficulty We re-
peat the old prescription Quit the City TO to I'LL
ing the soil BE producers OF food instead OF
consumers. Do not become like nlnetenths OF the
farmers in this country, mere landdrones sometimes
dogs in the manger that get possession of land which
they will neither cultivate themselves nor let any
body else cultivate. If you too poor to buy land
you are not too poor to vote for who will pass the
Homestead bil and open the Great West to the hands
of all who " give their labor to its soil and build
homes on its rich praires and swelling bluffs. fsu
can vote too for men who will shut up the hundreds
of thousands Of paHper manufactures in the country
which tax you twice much as all the banks and
spectators and high prices put together. 1t is rme
and not speculation that robs you and keeps yon poor
1t is for you TO work the great change that will
bring you proper reward for your labor, by your
hands and your votes But don't vote like slave to
your party any longer and then You will not cry out
against speculation nor think that bank loans are the
cause of the high prices of provisions.
