same thing Of another for ffteen2 Or
what poor man taking a contract for
labor will not engage his s~ub-employes
at as low a rate of wages as he possibly
CAM Does he expect other men, having
more means, to be less close and calcu-
lating and stingy than HIMSELF They
have been poor like him, and have
earned their money by the hardest
as well as be, and they have learned in
doing so how to keep il, and the neces-
sity to themselves and their families
that they should keep it. There is not
a place in the world where he must not
climb the ladder of fortune as they have
done, if he would get up. No poor mar
can be benefited by growing and snarl-
ing at the rich, and it would be contrary
to natural justice if he should. The
interest of every man, in q land of law,
where property rights are respected, is
in harmony with that of every other
man. And it is alone where all pros
per together that any but the dis
honest prosper at all. 1t is, there
fore, of the last Importance hat all
should combine together in associative
effort, in such measures, and for the
formation Of such a system of laws and
administration as may render it possible
and most likely that all will prosper to-
gether. Peace, industry, liberty and
law, especially with free trade, will make
every man rich and happy in this great
country of Astounding resources. We
need nothing but equity, harmony and
cooperative effort; more corn, if not
less cotton; more manufactures, il not
less commerce, and the r%esolute exertion
Of the combined and common energies
in all the pursuits Of life. Then the
hammer and the trowel will be heard
again, labor will be in demand, wages
will increase by the competition of the
demand for it with the supply, men will
be able again to build snd houses will
be required for the accommodation of
the influx of population demanded and
warranted by universally stimulated
business and progress. Thus while one
prospers the means are furnished with
ample motive for their use, SO that all
may thrive together. But let the farmer
hgnt the merchant and the merchant
the farmer, the capitalist the laborer
and the laborer the capitalist, let confu-
sion and anarchy and differing counseIs,
and mal.administration, with bad and
unequal laws, prevail, and the mechanic
and the laborer will starve on, as he has
lately been starving, and none but bro
kers and shavers and a few ofice-hold-
ing sa'raps and those who live on their
bounty will thrive any more among us.
We have said enough, perhaps too
much, already to show the Importance,
the utility and necessity Of universal co
operation for all reform purposes. We
have said it not go much in our own in
terest as in hat Of the people we repre-
sent, and we trust that the presentation
of these facts ard views to a hitherto
over-burdened and oppressed people will
not be wholly fruitless of good results.
All Of which is respectfully submitted.

"They are probably undressing" Mrs.
Turmoyle replied quietly. II will go

"Do keep them quiet until they are!"
There was an interval of profound 81
lence, and in about half an hour the
mother returned.
"They are all asleep now" she said
"Tom had dressed the kitten in Bessie's
dolls clothes"

The fu,ure Of Business.

The New York Bulletin, forecasting
the future course of trade, refers to the
average prosperity of the agricultural
interests. but there are conspicuous ex-
ceptions, it says, to condition of pros
porous activity in the manufacturing,
mechanical mining interests. We quote !:
1--WE feel justified in drawing the con-
clusion that the country, taken as a
whole is in condition to take the usual
quantity of goods, the exceptions in the
case of the cotton States and of certain
manufactures not being of sufficient
magnitude to affect the general result.
Owing to the general decline in prices,
the volume of business, as expressed in
money values, will be less; the surplus
of earnings, after providing for individ-
ual expenditures, will also be reduced,
and the profits on trade, being upon a
less amount of business, will be curtaiI-
ed. From this feeling of dissalisfac-
ton and poverty will prevail among
both the working and commercial
classes, and complaint of the unsatis
factory results of business may thus
for some time continue "-Baltimore
