lHE WAY THEY GET RIcn OUT WEsr
The NewGurryport Herald relates the
experience OF friend, just returned f:oa,
the West. lie SAYS
Here is the whole story. We cor,
piein Of hard times, and 90 West to bet
ter our condition. If we would live in n
log or mud house will! one room and no
floor, sleep on straw, go barefooted, wear
the cheapest end coarSest clothes, and de
prive ourselves OF all the comfyr,s of life,
any body might squat upon two acres
Of common pasture, and with the same
labor, be as rich in seven Years as upon
any hah section OF lapl in Kansas and
IT there were hundreds thus squatting,
they could get up land fever, speculate
n lots, and have the prices 60 up as they
do in the West.
What people save in the new States
they crush out Of themselves, and tina,
they do anym here. All the advantages
they have, is the privilege of living as
mean and being as mean, and having
their children as mean, as human ma
ture will bear, with nobody e find fault
with it; while here, living in the same
manner, they would separate from the
masses, as much as the gipses do. If
any OF our people wish to learn practic
ally about this matter, let them take a
view of the basket makers who drive in.
to market from New Hampshire, and
then go home and live with them a
month in the back par; of Darlington,
and they will be saved the trouble Of 90
ing to Kansas.
