population during the next year from
foreign immigration. 1t is reasonable
that they should, and that large num-
her, of the now idle working mon of
Europe may also enter the workshops
and factories in the Atlantic States as
well, should the necessities Of the In
creasing demand warrant their employ
ment.. The depression in Europe is not
likely 70 be of short duration, while the
prospects for a great season Of p osperity
partly from this very cause is antici-
pstsd in this country. The inflated
prices Of Europe has enabled the manu-
facturers in this country during the pas.
two years TO undersell their English
competitors in many markets OF the
world. The pressure Of the hard times
had driven our manufacturers to make
radical changes in their manner OF con-
ductine their business. New and i'm
proved machinery has been introduced
and they are now in many sections en-
abled to work up material at prices so
cbeaply as to surprise their former COM
petitors. Just at this time, too. comes
the failures of the crops in all the grain
growing countries In Europe, while the
United States are blessed with one of
the most generally abundant yields ever
known. We can therefore live cheaply
while they in Europe are compelled to
buy of us and cannot live so cheaply as
f,rmerly. Europe has been playing at
arms and consequently neglected the
cultivation of the soil, and nature is now
repaying her people the terrible penalty
that Is sure to follow where peace is
secuted at and the horrors of war pre-
ferred to crafty the giddy and the profit
gate who delight more in the pomp and
show OF arms than in the more humble
delights of peaceful labor, without which
want and misery are sure to follow.
This is unfortunately the case with
Europe. While our distresses are pass
ing away theirs seem just beginning
of the manufacturers themselves will
como to this country with their money
and their men aud here commence their
business with prospects more Ger ain in
the future than they can hope TOR in the
Old World which is so continuously be-
ing disturbed by wars, and rumors OF
wars ushao, r,,mnr. a ra avan uov Oh
ing the shape Of actual certainties only
resting upon time to put the work OF
butchery into execution. Those who
love peace cannot dwell upon these pros
poets without fears and dreads, and
these fears and breads of wars, as much
rs anything else are destroying hopes and
driving from Europe some Of the best ol
the middle classes. With France and
Germany, and Italy and Austria, and
Russia aud Turkey, and Angland and
her dependencies III India, all preparing
for and ponderlng war, what have the
peace-loving people to encourage them
in the future? The collision of any two
of these nations may turn the whole o
these countries into vast armed camps
without any definite time for the recur
renee of peace. How infinitely NOR
encouraging and desirable tllen is th
condition and prospects of our owl
country to any other for conducting larg
industries that in the future look to sup
plying the world with its necessities
Here We have all that is requisite t
make manufacturing profitable and a
abundance food to sell to the worl
beside. While such inducements for,
themselves upon the attention of mani
facturers; the European agriculturist
offered lands of the most fruitful cha
acter in quantities to suit the purses
all classes for sale at less price per ac
than he has heretofore paid yearly f
the privilege of tilage. 1t is no wond
then that the Western journals are fill,

misfortune falls upon the farmers. .
