expensive team, so long will POVERTY, with al its
brood Of social wills and hatred OF Industry, be the
law of Society. A few favored individuals engaged
in commerce, banking, etc., may accumulate wealth
by spoil stDg tie producing clssses and escape the
ger ersl lot but the must be poor and ignorant

Political Economists in every direction seek for
remedie for this false state Of things bu in vain the
only remedy is 10 be found in Scientific OrganisG-
toR Of Agr,cuture, and the application TO it Of ma

power cen prevent it.
