THE Richmond Wing advocates the repu-
diation of the public debt of Virginia on
the ground that emigration and capital
will not seek location and investment in q
State wherein the taxes are burdensome.
This is true, to some extent, but it is also
true that emigration and capital, especially
the latter, will avoid any State whose repu-
tation for honest and fair dealing has been
impaired as the Wing proposes to impair
that of the Old Dominion.

TnE emigration from Great Britain to
these shores promises to be very lively this
fall. The English cutters are coming be-
cause American cutlery has ruined the
English trade. The cotton spinners and
weavers are coming because American cot
ton goods are driving the English fabrics
out of the markets. The miners are coming
because the English mines are closing and
the American are in full work. The farm
ers and farm laborers are coming because
English lands and English weather cannot
compete with the American article in pro-
ducing paying crops.

It is a true saying that poverty is not a crime especially when born of misfortune, or caused by generous expenditure for the support of others. If competence is necessary to our full innocent enjoyment and value as members of society, which is doubtless to some extent a fact, there are many instances of poverty which come under our observation not morally justiiable. We often hear men who never live many steps in advance of want say, We make it a rule not to deny ourselves anything which is for our comfort" Some may say none but miser would object to this. Circumstances will not always justify this idea. When men get into "tight place" no one doubts the wisdom of self denial and painful shifts in order to gain a vantage ground. Every man in this country on his first setting out in life with no inheritance but his hands,
 is in a ''tight place" where nothing but the temporary denial of what he considers his com forts, may enable him to build a successful foundation for comfortable competency. While penurious meanness is to be avoided
 would it not be wise while in the courage and health of youth to forego at least, if the case demand, some of the unnecessary indulgences, that middle life and old age may be made in- dependent? No matter what virtue or amiable- ness may characterize the unthrifty young or old man penniless without good cause, ,-when sickness befalls him his creditors begin to look upon him with something of dissatisfaction while his physician considers his attendance as probable gratuity. It is difficult to know what real necessary comforts are. Many of the American laboring class seem to consider that they consist in nothing less than the lux uries that supply the table of the vouptuary, and with consumate folly live up to their pam pered appetites "from hand to mouth" till some unfaVorable change plunges them into per- plexity and distress while creditors are left to suffer from their delinquencies Such is un- justitiable, criminal poverty, prevailing to a great extent in every community. It is with pleasure and respect that every generous minded American witnesses the instances o thrift among those who have crept from the most pitiable depths of poverty in a foreign land and are now gaining substantial and respectable citizenship among us through their frugal and self-denying efforts. Whether praiseworthy or not, their success will win them character, and every native born of this land cradled in like circumstaces, will do well to emulate their example. SEARCH.

Mir. James M. Swank, secretary of the Iron and Steel Association of the United States, assures 7he Philadelphia Record that there will be more iron and steel manufac- tured in this country this year than in any previous year. What is better, this large pro- duction is in answer to the demand, and man. ufacturers are not, as in many past years, piling up stocks in order to keep the furnaces in blast Prices have not advanced to any considerable extent. yet they are from 10 to 15 per cent. higher than last Fall, when fig. ures were lower than ever before in this country. The secretary expects that the ac tivity which prevails to-day in all branches oi the iron and steel trade will continue for al least year to come.

Scarcely day passes that we do not see accounts of strikes. The same old war be- tween labor and capital still goes on without any material advantage to the workman. In most instances it results in a loss to the strik- CT, yet he keeps 'kicking against the bricks. :" All of the threats and acts of violence will not help the matter. If man is compelled to pay more than he can afford in the manufact- ure of an article, he will stop his business and laborers are left idle. Labor and capital are dependent on each other and it is foolish for them to quarrel The prices of wages and goods are regulated by the demand, and this country is too large for many successful ''cor- ners" in either. Powerful corporations may combine and for time regulate the price of their wares, but it is the night of folly for the poor workman to kill the "goose that lays the golden egg" ------
