Labor saring-Labor Making.


Labor saving implements were once tho't
to be destructive to the interests of the work
ing man, just in proportion as they saved the
drudgery of labor. This seems reasonable
first, but a little thought win correct the er-
ror. How then do the farm laborers, thrown
out of work by the Introduction Of improved
implements, ultimately find work? Plainly
by the increased amount of tillage which horse
power, machinery and tools make possible in
the country. In section where all the soil
is under cultivation of some kind, it viii lead
to more thorough systems of farming. In the
case Of our own country, it leads to the faster
extension of civilization westward, the rapid
subjugation Of wild lands, and the better cal
tivation of that already under the pillow. Por
instance, the Western grain grower, who now
deVotes IS to $50 acres to corn and other
grain crops, with the meager facilities of
thirty years ago, could not have managed one
fourth that amount in a similar manner. This
increase of agriculture, not only keeps good
the original number of farm laborers. but
creates n new demand for laborers in every
other field ofindustry More ships and rail-
roads are required for transportation, more
manufacturing establishments, more mechan-
les to construct these, and men to manage
them, more miners, machinists, etc. In fact,
the whole body polite thus receives vital re-.
freshment fLom every really labor-saving in
vention. Thisis forcibe illustration of the
fact that whatever fairly advances the inter
ests of one class, becomes a benefit to all
classes in the community.-AmeT. AgricuI-

NEW YORK TRIBUNE.
1855.


Our most momentous, arduoas struggle having
resulted in the triumph of American Nationality,
the utter discontinue and overthrow Of Secession
and Slavery, THH TRIBUNE, profoundly rejoicing
in this result viii labor to the legitimate
fruits of this grand, benignant victory by render
ing Liberty and Opportunity the common heri-
tage Of the whole American People now and ever
more.
Diseountsnancing all unmanly exultation over
or needless inaietiOn of pain or priyation on the
upholders of the lost cause, it viii insist on the
earliest possible restoration Of the Southern States
to their former power and influence in our Union
on the basis of All Rights for All their People.
1t will labor In hope to prove that the substitu-
ton of Free for Slave Labor must inevitably and
universally cOnducs to the increase of Industry,
Thrift, Prosperity and Wealth. so that the South,
within the next ten years, must look back amazed
her long persistence in practice so baleful as
the chattelizing Of Man.
1t will labor for the diffusion of Common School
Education, Manufactures, the Useful Arts, &C.,
&C., throughout every portion Of our country, but
especially throughout the sections hitherto devoid
OF them, believing that every good end will there
by be subserved and the interest of every useful
and worthy class promoted.
It viii urge the Protection of Home Industry
by discriminating duties on Foreign Products i'm
ported, with a view to drawing hither the most
capable and skilf1l artifcers and artisans of Eu-
rope, and the naturalzing~on our soil of many
branches Of production hitherto all but confined
te-the Old World, while it would strengthen and
extend those which have already foothold
among US.
1t win give careful attention to progress and
improvement in Agriculture, doing its best at
once to bring markets to the doors of our farmers
and teach them how to make the most Of the 0P-
portunities thus afforded them.
1t viii devote constant attention TO Markets, es
pecially for Agricultural Products with intent to
save both producer and consumer from being vic
timized by the SPECTATOR and forestaller.
And, giving fair scope to Current Literature, to
the proceedings of Congress, and to the general
News of the Day, it hopes retain its old patrons
and attract many new to bear them company.
We rarely employ travelling agents, many
impostors are habitually prowling in the assumed
capacity of solicitors for journals We prefer that
our subscribers shall pay their money to persons
they know and of whose integrity they assur-
ed Any friend who believes he will do good by
increasing the circulation of the Tribune is author
lied to solicit and receive subscriptions. Speci-
men eoyies win be promptly sent without charge
to those requiring them, and trust many friends
viii be moved to ask their neighbOrs and scquain-
tanees to join in making up their clubs.

The Suffrage Bill, which passed the House
last week, will probably come before the
Senate after the Freedman Bill is disposed
Of. There is, of courae, no question of its
passage, nor is there anv doubt among those
best informed at Washington, that it will re-
ceive the Presidents signature. Some OF
the democrats affect to believe that it will be
vetoed, as some northern journals, which are
not democratic, would persuade the Presi-
dent that that would be popular measure
on his part, He probably knows better, and
will give his assent to bill which has the
universal appreciation of loyal Northern
people.-M Y Trtb.
