fore. There was enough for every one to
do and the price Of labor was not too low.
The east was Boosting in her boundless re-
sources, and the superiority Of the western
country alone was, theparamountind ucement
which led the farmer or mechanic to leave
his eastern homo and settle IN the Wcst.-
But q change has taken place. The great
financial crisis, the stopping Of the millssand
machine shops, and the consequent paraliza.
ton Of numerous other branches Of bust
ness, has thrown out of employment thous-
ands upon Thousands, including persons Of
all classes and pursuits. The West will Of
course be their refuge-it is their only hope
and there isroom enough for all, and pre-.
SCENTS inducements which none can compre-
bend nor appreciate until they have trod

Among those who have been thrown out
of employ from the stopping Of the facto-
ries, are many, who by industry, close ap-
plication to their business and the practice
Of economy, have been successful in accu-
mulating sufficient sum to come West,
purchase them home, and establish them
selves either in the management of their
farms or in some industrial pursuit. The
West presents superior advantages to such,
and with the same industry here which they
have exercised in the East, they can in COM
paratively but short space of time. place
themselves in the most Independent circum-
stances. Western Iowa is the place for such
men.
Here an opportunity is presented for OBJ
tanning home and valuable farm, for q
sum insignificant in comparison to the value
Of the property. This domain embraces as
fine farming lands as can be found anywhere
in the wide West, and with industry, as large
fortunes can be upturned from its fertile
soil, MS were ever dug from the golden soil
Of California. - .-.t,..
There are also many, very many, includ-
ed in those who have been thrown out OF
employment, to whom the future looks dark
and forbidding. Their limited means will
amount 10 but little in purchasing farm in
the East, and if they could in any way get
the possession of small farm, they have be-
fore them years Of unceasing toll, with no
other remuneration, than mere subsistence,
and will even do well if they come out square
with the world at the end Of each year.-
The West is the place for such as these also.
Let them come to Western Iowa and pre-
empt one hundred and sixty acres Of land,
and 60 to work. BY the provisions OF the
redemption laws, they are allowed a year
to prove up and pay for their land. By
coming here in the spring and Immediately
putting in their crops, in six months, be-
sides retaining enough for their own susie
nance, they can sell enough from the pro-
ceeds of their summer labors, to pay for
their land and become the possessor Of a
home and valuable farm; and with proper
management in these, they have a source Of
To those out of employment, we say,
come West, whatever may have been your
pursuit in the East. Those having energy
and the inclination to gain for themselves a
competence, will succeed in the West, how
ever limited their present means. Let the
tide of emigration swell, and the work new
or cease, till the cmigrant's cabin rises on
the Pacific coast, and the fence enclosing
the broad western farm of Uncle Samuel
shall be complete.
