The Cadiz Democratic sentinel. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 1854-1864, 1856-01-30

from Il e confused figures Of the census, the
number Of persons following various occu'
pations in the United States. Thus we
rejoice. as a nation. in having two thousand
persons who pronounce themselves artists.
though there are probably not a score who
will live in mems memories. and certainly
not one who appears likely to detfrone
Rapheal. OF authors We have. according
to the census. only eighty.two; that is, but
eighty two are willing 10 confess to genius
and garrett though, if publishers adver-
lisements are to be credited. every month
gives birth to new literary star, and one
more brilliant than any that ever went
before. To pass to bsnk officers and bro
kers is natural transition. and Of the for,
mer we are favored with fourteen hundred;
of the latter with six thousand. exemplify-
ing the old adages. that sit never rains but
it pours," and that BLESSINGS never come
singly," Luckily. there are a hundred
thousand honest, stout hearted black. smiths
as make.weight against this Egyptian
plague Of flies in the shape Of brokers and
bankers. Moreover. there are six thousand
BARRIERS to shave the six thousand brokers.
and thus revenge the community. which is
so essentially "shaved" BY the latter.
We have two millions and a half Of far.
mers. seventy thousand marines; one hun
dred thousand merchants; sixty thousand
masons, and nearly two hundred thousand
carpenters. We have fourteen thousand
bakers to make our bread; twenty four
thousand lawyers to set US by the ears;
forty thousand doctors to kill or cure, and
fifteen thousand editors. to keep this motely
mass in order, by the potent power of Pnb
lie opinion, controlled and manufactured
through the press. We have eleven thou
sand hat.er., ten thousand tohacconIsts,
and thirty one thousand weavers. Against
thirty thousand teachers we can set off City
thousand tailors, 30 that we care nearly
twice as much for pdorning the body as we
do for decking out the mind Only twenty
two thousand people have been wiling to
set themselves down as servants, though
m ost Of us serve others 10 some capacity or
other, from the boot black, who polishes
our shoes, to the book seller. who brightens
he public INTEL eet. Nobody, according tc
the census, follows the trade of a politician
though there are enough, heaven knows, in
This city alone to have condemned dozen
Sodoins and Gomorrahs. The census fails
to record, likewise. the existence Of any
patriots among US, though we have long
thougLt tia, patriotism was especially a
profession aud nothing else.
The forty thousand physicians support
FIVE hundred undertakers, which gives the
important statistical fact, that it takes eighty
'doctors to keep one undertaken in brief
business. We have nave fifteen hundred
wagon makers; three thousand watch ma
kers; seventy eight vinegar makers. nclu-
ding. we suppose, all the cross wives. crus'
ty bachelors, and verjuice old maids; thirty
thousand wheelrights; and thirty three
showmeu, We have four thousand cutters;
wentv three thousand saddlers; and five
thousand railaoad men. We have one
hundred and fifty four opticians and ten
oculists, but nearly four thousand contec-
,ioners, proving that we care infinitely more
for eating than for eye sight. This reminds
US that there are Eve thousand brewers and
seven hundred wine dealers. tut the census,
strange to say, is silent as to the number
who drink the beer and "quaff the rosy" :"
In all, we have about ave millions and a
half above the age Of fifteen years. who
are busily employed at some trade. profes-
sion, or other occupation. by which to earn
livelihood. It is plain that we are no! a
nation Of sluggards. We nearly all do
something. Nay. to be an idle drone, is
happily no recommendation, in America,
as it is in the nristocratic and monarchiaI
countries Of Euro pe.--Phila. Pub. Ledger.
