: The true wealth Of the world ia labor

the enormous waste of this precious com.
modify constantly going on. by n strange
contradiction this waste moro frequently oc-
cursin young country which needs labor
most, like oui own, than in the old ones of
Europe.
Our panperisin and the high price offood
from which so much Of our distress springs,
are entirely owing 10 this wasted labor,
which fer wantof being distributed, becomes
m evil instead of blessing--a pcsiilent
manure heap instead of n fertilizer.
In a country, like ours, where so mucl,
land is mcultivated. and where there is so
great want of agricultural laborers, il is of
the utmost importance that labor should not
be suffered to stagnate in great, cities, when
II is so much wanted in our farms in the
country. ,g..ss -
a cargo of emigrants arrive--many Of
them have q little money, quite sufficient to
take them ont comfortably where there is a
demand for labor, if there were any office 10
inform these almost sllipwrecked strangers,
where they can be employed--but for the
want of some such judicious arrangement
by which the right men could be placed in
the right spot, they spend their little hoard.
and in few weeks of misery and intemper.
ance generally send them to the Aims
House, or TO the grave. Let us contems
plate what n wealth is wasted here Had
these men and their families been placed in
tho country, they would have been farmers
and agriculturalists instead Of laoorers in our
great cities reducing by competition the wa
ges to the very minimum at which life can
be sustained.
Nor must we lose sight Of still higher
consideration; the vast importance of rails
ing up and training a peasantry. which the
poet calls very justly a ''country's PRIDE"
and without which we never should have
won our independence. f
Great cities are TOO frequently the grave
of freedom. They are more calculated TO
produce the despot and the demagogue
than the patriot.
Thus in every aspect It is the duty Of a
republican government to encourage an ag
