The trouble is there more u cchancs and labor
in the cities than are needed. Ihe Ia6or m rare,
as g}uted. Now if onethird or ore.haf OF the labor
ing population of the cities should emgrate to Iowa,
Minnesota, Nebraska, or Kansas, what would be the
effect t.? Why Mcr situation, as we have already
shown, would be very greatly improved, and those
who remained in the cities would I've life far more
decent and comfortable THAI before Rents would
come down. telaIts could not be found for the cellars
and attics and the "caray aGsares would have to be
put i'll very good order to rent at ALL wages would be
higher Of course for competition among woikngmen
would be done WITH and need as now to hang
round the capitalist be gpg employment Provisions
would be cheaper Lecause of tue Withdrawal OF so
many consumers, AID the increase of the number OF
producers; ard the markets would consequently be
iull oil all the necessaries of life, and hat, too, at
req enable price, and yet the farmer would be well
paid for his labor. In short the emigration west
ward of scores of thousands of the workngmen OF the
cities would restore the equilibrium which j. much
needed and society would be the better for the change
and fby any accident there should DE great scarcity
Of laborers in any locality, the writer of the "Tiu-
pail article ard others like him, could have the OPP
portupy to carry each OF them his dinner in little
tin pail and eat it cold on the highway, and as they
go home at night rattle them against their big but
IONS" and enjoy TO the fullest extent the poetry of
