--spe aking Of the lull in emigration TO Amer
lea, the London Tones says: III they are fewer
emigranss than there used to be, IL Is because
emigration has done its work thoroughly, and
has pretty well equalized the wages Of labor in

ulation has finished ITS work as between Europe
and America, IL has not ut any rate got through,
as far as the distribution OF population over the
surface Of the United 8 ates 10 concerned. This
republic il very unevenly settled. The North Is
TOO crowded in some parts, and the South is too
vacant. Part OF the work of the next two years
will be to equalize population in tho
national territory at home, and this will be
profitable both for the several States and the
people themselves. II q million or two intelli-
gent people OF the admirable Industrious class
which may be found in the manufacturing cities
of the North should remove TO the South during
the next few years, IL would DO to the advantage
OF an concerned. The South IL appealing for
settlers, and can furnish land, work. and wages
to all who may come. The crowd In Northern
cities would be relieved, and there would be more
to do and better wages for those who remain.
Considering the national and personal advantages
of movement OF population toward the
South, it is gratifying 10 notice that one has
seriously begun. Last year S00,0f0 people went
into Texas alone; and there is small but steady
dow toward Georgia and Florida already in pro-
gress skillful, industrious men who are tempted
by what they hear from emigration agents to 60
from this country to Australia, should under
stand that they will do Ear better in the long run
TO remain ut home.
