as heretofUrep but other articles, Ike beet
and the iproduclsIo of 9hs dairy, have been
added to the requirements of the labor
ing population. The European supply
of these products is annually falling
shorter, and the demand is at the same
time increasing rapidly. This necessari-
ly tends not only. to keep up the rates. Of
wages, butto make it necessary TO in
erase them, and is telling upon the man
ufacturing enterprises of the country
Thus while the better classes: of opera
tiyes-lhe more skillful, larborers-are
swelling the multitude Of -emigrants that
are coming weekly7t6 the United States
to better-the condition, those who re-
main are demanding. and mn stBr eceive,
a large increase in their. rates of wages.
Of course, we predict no
inm diate violent change The Influence
Of this movement however, which is
even now being felt, will gradually work
out, the result indicated, enabling our
manufacturers to successfully compete in
foreign markets. In all particulars; ex-
cept the one of. labor, our advantages have
ever been greatly superior. We produce
the raw material for most classes of man
ufscture,, not only cotton and wool, but
the most important metals; our country
is an immense coal field; almost every
State in'the Union abeunds with water
power enough for all tie mills and forges
of the world and generally running waste;
we produce all the. food required for Ia
boFers. With the enormous influx, theo
of populalionY we will have the last i'm
petiment removed to successful Compel
ton with every other country. This does
not Involve the necessity of reducing the
price Of labor low as the rates in Europe.
To be sure. Whehs er values shall becUme
properly adjusted, there will be import
ant notifications in that particular. But
another element in computation will ex-
isr, of which our laborers will hsF6 the
principal benefit. While the operatives
of England require that both material
and food stall be, shipped to them Ct enor>
nous waste of capital for transportation,
our workmeu will have all these supplied

Henry Clay was wont to declare, with
his well.known eloquencs and force, that
the home market, both because it is the
nearest and most to be relied upon. is the
best for the sale of the agricultural product
ofthe country. And this is equally true as
regards the raw material of manufactures,
as for ,breadstuffs to feed the population
by which such, manufactures are carried
ou.vI Il, certainly seems TO- US, to be the
height of folly. to long continue a policy
which sends cotton to Europe, aud have
