Distress at the North,%
It is not alone at the South that
the approach Of winter brings the
immediate harbingers, OF suffering
and distress to the poor. We see it
stated that $4,000 men and women.
who have been accustomed to earn
their living by daily toll. have been
thrown out of employment in New
York and Brooklyn. The wages of
these people, in ordinary business
times, average ten dollars per week,
for each person. In this way, $780,
600, which these men and women, in
mass, were accnetc.cea 20 receive
every Saturday night, are withheld
from them; and we might add, from
the retail trading community. Yet,
these people must live. Those who
are members OF trades unions, find
the funds of their societies altogether
too insufficient to afford them much
relief. A few who have laid up q
portion of their,earnings, during the
past summer, against rainy day,
find that it never rains but it pours,
and that much more than these saw
ings will be required to save them,
from absolute want The large num-
ber who have spent all their money,
are being compelled to pawn what
ever superfuous clothes or trickets
they can dispense with, and to
mortgage their services for next
spring. in order ito procnre imme-
diate loans; while thousands have to
resort to every conceivable expedient,
in order that they, and others de-
pendent on them, may be spared
from desperation, the poor house
and wrong-doing, for the sake of
bread and household fires.
This is shocking picture, in q
country abounding in all manner of
resources, agricultural, mineral, mn
nufacturing power, &C., and indis-
putably proves that there is some
thing radically wrong in the structure
of society, or that the country is
badly governed. The legislation of
the past three or four years in Con-
gress, the distrust and want of conf
dence generally, which it has ehgen-
dered throughout commercial circles,
in every section of the land, is beyond
doubt the chief cause of the business
depression now 80 painfully manifest
everywhere. This depression of
course affects all connected, no mat
ter how remotely or in what way,
with business pursuits. If we had
statesmen in the councils of the
nation, much of this terrible condi-
tion of affairs would have been pre-
vented, or conld now be ameiiorated; {;
but between forming Republican 60
vernments for the disfranchised and
impoverished South, and the tinker
ing with the currency by men totally
ignorant of the first principles of
financial matters, the country has
been brought to the brink of ruin
and to the verge of anarchy. We
see no hope for the future but in the
interposition of q merciful Provi-
dence. !, There is no help in man, or
at least in the politicians of the pre-
sent generation.
