1t is patent to all that the supply of labor
greatly exceeds the demand; this is true in
relation to skilled labor and excessively 50 in
relation to common labor. At present when
skilled labor barely commands sufficient en-
ployment in our large cities to keep soul and
body together in working condition, common
labor fails to command sufficient to keep off
starvation. Now what is the cause of this
most uncomfortable condition in our affairs?
In looking over statistics of the increase and
decrease of the population of our cities and
towns as shown in the 'year book it will be
observed that in the last decade, while the
population of our cities has increased, there
has been corresponding decrease in our rural
populations, and the result has been
diminished production of the necessaries of life
which has kept up the cost of living and the
class of people who have left their farms and
moved into the cities, and who do not know
how to get living in the cities constitute the
bulk that has made up the increase of the
population of the cities By this unnatural
change in the relation which legitimately
should exist between production and consump-
ton, supply and demand, the whole COM
munlty is thrown out OF equilibrium, and hun
dreds are utterly destitute of employment on
the accumulated means of subsistence, with
the poor houses full, aud the daily applications
for charity increasing, and apparently able
bodied men establishing pea nut stands at the
corners of the streets to endeavor to earn the
bread to keep their children from starving.
Now the question may be asked, what can
be done to remedy the poverty stricken condi-
ton of the laboring classes in our cities? The
answer is easy of solution; simply this, retur.
to the legitimate sphere of life that God and
Nature intended you should prosper in; 90 into
the country; cultivate the soil. Nature is ever
true to her children. She always rewards every
one according to their work. Perhaps it will
be said nothing can be done without capital
Labor is capital, and in the country there is
work for all. l know a man who bought an
old farm that had lain fallow or common for
ten years, on credit, yoke of oxen and pillow,
also on credit; there was not rod of fence on
the farm farm ia and only s an old house
dtion. In the month of june he COM
menced breaking up the land with one woke of
oxen, holding the plow and driving the team
himself, he continued blowing until his neigh
bors thought him crazy, and until it was time
to SOW winter rye, which he narrowed in in due
time, and then commenced fencing which he
accomplished in season to secure his crop in
the spring. The result was he raised more rye
than all the rest of the town, and at the price
one dollar per bushel, his crop paid for his
farm, bis oxen and pillow, the expense of pillow

Correction and Suggestion.

Mr.. EDIToR.-Alow me to correct one OF
two errors of typography that have crept into
this mornings issue in regard to protection
against fire. "This body of men ruined she
building" was written "mined the building,
and needs to be corrected .in another para
graph.
Permit to say further that the idea of pro-
lection from fire to the leeward of great con-
fagration, or indeed of any fire, is what it is
desirable to consider. At present l know OF
no other means so efficient as the old hand en- en-
CINE, aided perhaps in interiors by the portap.i,e3
carbonic acid extinguishers. Hydrants Will
not be placed in every yard nor stand pipes be
erected in every building, and light steam en-
CINE carries with it the very danger we wish to
avoid. Light hand engines ito be worked by
volunteers organized for that purpose, to I. Ge
ways called for the sole purpose of protecting
against fire to the leeward of its actual exist
ence, seem to me, at the present time, to be the
most efficient auxiliary that we could rely
upon. w.

DIR. ScHENcK's PULMoNIc SYRUP, SEA WEED
TONIC AND MANDRAKE PIILs.-These medicines
have undoubtedly performed more cures OflCon-
sumption than any other remedy known to the
American public. They are compounded of vege-
table ingredients, and contain nothing which can be
injurious to the human constitution. Other rene.
dies advertised as cures for Consumption, probably
contain opium, which is somewhat dangerous
drug in all cases. and if taken freely by ccnsumptive
PATIENTS it must do great iDury for its tendency is
to confine the morbid matter in the system, which
of course, must make cure impossible. Schenck's
Pulmonic Syrup is warranted not to contain
particle OF opium: 1t is composed of powerful but
harmless herbs, which act on the lungs liver
stomach and blood, and thus correct all morbid
secretions and expel all the diseased matter from the
body These are the only means by which Con-
Syrup Sea Weed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills are the
only medicines which operate in this way, it is
obvious they are the only genuine cure for
Pulmonary Consumption. Each bottle of this
invaluable medicinei is accompanied by fulldirectons
DR.. Schenck is professionally at his principal Office,
corner Sixth and Arch Streets, Philadelphia, every
