Surplus of women m the East.


A serious disturbance in the equilibrium Of
sexes is noticed by Gov Andrews. of Mass, as
follows:
| desire to call attention to the excess of wo-
men i'm Massachusetts, and to the surplus of men
in Oregon California, and other remote western
communities. The facility with which young
men migrate. the attractions and opportunities
for them of new states, the obvious embarrass-
ments to the migration of young women, the at
fractions of home, wherever it is, to the heart Of
women, and her natural dependence, combine TO
create this inequality in the distribution of the
sexes. In Oregon having 50 l60 inhabitants ,ac-
cordng to the census of 1860. there were Is, 96l
males over IA years old and only ,S76 females
above that age Its population is now estimated
at over 100 .00O-this disproportion yet remain
ing. In Massachusetts, there were 257 1893 males
between the ages of Is and 40, and 2S7 009 fe-
males or a surplus of 29l66 The excess of
women of all ages above Is years was 80 SAG
The absorption of men by the military ard
naval service during the intervening four years
has aggravated this disproportion And it is
disastrous one; it disorders the market for labor;
/ il reduces women and men to an unnatural COM
petition for employments fitted for men alone,
| tends to increase the number both of men unable
| to maintain families, and of women who must
/ maintain themselves unaided In civilized re
fined society, it is the Office and duty of man to
| protect woman. to furnish her a sphere, a sup
port, home. In return, she comforts, refnes
and adorns domestic life, the family, and the
range of: social influences This is also the
! plainly providential order. Where women are
driven to the competitions of the market with
/ men, or where men are left unsolacsd or unre-
/ fined by the presence of women, society is alike
weakened and demoralized. / know OF no more
useful object to which the commonwealth can
/ lend its aid than that of a movement adapted in
practical way to open the door of emigration to
+ young women who are wanted for teachers, and
for every other appropriate as well as domestic
employment in the remote west, but who are
leading anxious and simless lives in New Eng
