were made to replace them before he succeeoed
in getting new supply as Tar as England,
whore the roots we're cared for In hot house,
to give them strength for long voyage. At
last in 1859, he succeeded in getting supply
of roots, and within two years was the owner
of thriving plantation. He invented suitable
machinery, by which the stalks we're con-

Mexico five crops in one year. The matured
plant, which is perennial, attains, when we'll
rooted, the height of twenty feet. Its fibre Is
said to be stronger than hemp, and as fine and
white, and twice as durable as linen, and more
productive than cotton. In 1866, Mr.. Rozel
exported to England over 5000 pounds, which
he sold at double the price OF the best quality
of cotton. A year ago he visited Cuba with
specimens which attracted great attention from
the planters there, who thought this new article
might supplant their staples, sugar and coffee.
We understand the new spring goods for ladies'
wear. Leno (?j, is in part made from this new
textile fabric, so that our ladies can judge OF
its cbeapness, comfort aud durability compar-

Strike in White Pine.

The worliinen employed on the Eberhardt
mine, White Pine, quit work on last Saturday
This occasioned by notice from the com
pany that wages in the mine would from date
be reduced to four dollars per day, instead of
FIVE as heretofore which latter is the ruling
rates in the district. The company shipped,
the past quarter, bullion valued ut S2lO,O 200,
which by no means constituted the product of
the mine III that time, as large quantities of
ore too rich for reduction by mill process has
been extracted and piled away for smelling
In commenting on the course OF the company,
the News says:
at il great pity that six men, owning the
representative mine of the richest district in
the world, cannot afford to pay the rate of
wages ordinarily paid III the district" and
gives the following as its theory of the cause
of the reduction:
Our own theory of this case is, that the
reduction OF wages is "A job put up to bear

have none TO sell--but, by n long course of
allusion to it III that character it has come to

desrnies Of all the others to be more or less
affected, in all cases, by its reputation To
get the word abroad that the Eberhardt has

will not pay, IS to put Hidden Treasure, Po-

that way. Sell the listed stocks short, at
ruling prices, get them down, then FILL or

We arc sorry that the Eberhardters took so
bad plan for working the stocks. To put
down the price Of labor on Woodworking
miners. just now, while all other owners are
willing to pay five dollars, is a permanent
wrong. After q while, when the mines gem

we must stand it, and let the jobbers do what

which are made up from the full and impartial
review of the mines"

WEALTH. -
c. B. F.G.
BY INCoG.

Wealth consists in the aggregation of
those things which crafty the desires of
man, and are capable of being exchanged
for other things necessary to satisfy his
wants. The value of all commodities
which is deemed essential to the comfort
of man, and which may be exchanged for
other articles, renders them useful to him,
and is the criterion by which the amount
of his wealth is to be estimated. Theex.
changeable value of thing, therefore, is
what makes it an item of wealth. Hence,
to create value is to create wealth.
Labor is regarded as the principal
agent by which value is created. A
pound of silver is worth more than a
pound of iron, because more labor is re.
quired to get silver than to get iron
The exchangeable value of thing, there
fore, is generally as to the toll of acquiring
it; and in proportion to the amount Of
labor bestowed upon any material is its
value augmented, and the wealth of its
possessor increased. Timber, iron, wool
&C., Is, by the manufactor changed into
chairs, sythes, various articles of clothing
&C. Their value is created by the labor
in their manufacture. The value the ma
terial of which yard of lace is composed
is too small to be computed; The value
of the lace is produced by the labor O.
making it. A pound of iron worth few
cents, will furnish the material for $4,000
hair.springs for watches; which at 20c
each would be worth $4,000 The labor
of converting the pound Of iron into
hair-springs is worth just this increase Of
value. So, also, the value Of land IS aug
mented by the labor expended on it in
preparing it for cultivation, improving
and identifying it. The exchangeable
value of an article is not the less the
price of labor, when paid for in money
because labor was the first price of the
money with which the article was pur-
chased. IF a man labor day for bushel
