WAGES IN ICELAND. The Irish papers
speak of the increase Of the wages Of labor
in that country as a social revolution. II
appears that the land owners are just begir-
ming to wake up to true value of "bold
peasantry," and to learn that laborers are
something else than an absolute nuisance
of which the country must be rid as fast
as possible. On this topic Galway paper,
called the Findi'asor, remarks as follows;
Between the field Of war and the fields
of corn, men in Ireland ure looking up in
the market. An Irishman is at last of
some value in his own country. The
economists whs talk of surplus popua-
ton are dumb and out Of all conceit with
their miserable theories. We begin to
understand that the wealth of country
lies in its population, and not in any amount
of inert matter. TIE quickening spirit lies
in the sweat of mowers and reapers. Who
is to serve in the miitia-who Is TO cut the
corn and dig in the potatoes. The spirit Of
our laws exiled the population; now we feel
the reaction. We drove our laborers 10
the valleys Of the Mississippi; they are
worth any money now on the banks of The
Shannon. A Limerick paper tells Us that
mowers in Pallasgreen are demanding IS
81 day. This is really a revolution in
the labor market. In Galway our terms
have not gone up TO so extrayagant
length. We have not heard Of anything
higher than IS day. with diet, but the
want Of men, even at this comparatively
high rate. is percephbly felt in all dircc-
tons"
Six shilings and eight pence wculd be
abou, two dollars day. At this rate the
Irishman has, indeed, become OF some value
in his OF country. The appreciation Of
the wages Of labor has been far greater than
we had supposed.
