Stay on TIA: Farm.

> The cities and villages are already
crowded, aud every kind of business lam
cuisines more than the cultivation of the
earth. In the cities the labor market is
over >tockcd, and n can get any desired
number of hands for any conceivable
lob. Clerks from the country have usu-
ally to serve two or three years before
they can get living wages. The city
throngs with unemployed MN and wo-
men, waiting for something to turn up.
Those who find employment have no Sc
curitv for permanence. Mechanics lose
their places and have to lie idle for weeks
and months together. All the products
of skill and labor are relatively cheaper
than provisions and breadstuffs. The
great material want Of the natio, is
cheaper meats, grain, and vegetables.
We have merchants, mechanics. and
middlemen enough, but far too few farm
ers. The best cultivated State abounds
in uncultivated lands. Even in the vi
entity of our large towns and cities, cheap
lands abound. and splendid chances for
e%nterprising young men to win homes
and fortune. Once settled upon his own
acres, the farmer has constant, proftable
occupation before him. Nowhere is UNI
skilled labor so sure of ~sustenauce, no.
where will intelligent industry so surely
win a happy home and competence. In
the country n never need to lack Id
Dor, and labor brings there the necessa-
ries and comforts of ife.-Amerzcan
