sally required by everybody as cathartic,
nor was ever any before so universally
adopted into use, in every country and
among all classes, as this mid but efficient

Wit and Work.


Wit and Work.
Over a large portion of the world
there has, Of late years, been too
much effort to live without labor.
The best observers recognize every
where the evidences of the depresa
sion Of production as compared
with the needs of consumption.
They see these evidences in the
unusual amount Of suffering for
the lack Of food and other COM
forts Of life, both IN this country
and Europe; /; as well as In the large
amounts of unemployed capital IN
London, Paris and New York. The
spirit of speculation prevails every
where, and prevents the capitalist
from investing in productive enter
prises, and also prompts the man
without capital to spend his time
In endeavoring to /" start something
that Will pay instead Of going to
work where his labol IS really
needed
Work and intelligence should go
together, but there are now too
many attempts To i've by wit with
out work. LIE all that Is doing la
this way could Be exposed, almost
every community would be startled.
A recent article on the subject Ia a
British Magazine, shows that the
business of that country is vitiated
to an almost incalculable extent BY.

similar state Of things prevails on
the continent and when to this is
added the political complications
which tend To give the military de-
partment of every country an I'M
due Importance, and to create con-
stant dread Of war, II may clearly
be seen that legitimate hnsiness
must suffer, and That, consequent
~, distress must prevail among the
people,
LIN this country, the late war
made the few rich at the expense
Of the many, and gave rise to 81
spirit Of speculation which il il-
terfering greatly to prevent the re-
turn of prosperity. The great col-I
lection of capital in the cities has
some connection with ganblngs III
the public debt, and with the inn
mense expenses Of the government,
and is at once q sign and a cause
OF business stagnation throughout
the country, In addition to this
We have nearly the whole power ofI
the government constantly skTTtEY YaJt
against al efforts On the part of
the people to better their condition,
and also the prevailing fears Of
another civil war with all its incal-
eulabla evils. AN this is enough
to make business languish, and to
cause the laborer to feel the pangs
of want, IN a country where abun-
dance should always prevail.

however, that there is q deficiency
