Winter is fast approaching and it
promises to be a hard n on the
laboring people. Owing to the dullness
of trade, wages are being lowered and
factories running on decreased times
or not all. There are hundreds of peo-
pile with nothing to do, and ships lay
ing along the shores with no cargoeS.
Laborers are working for less than a
dollar a day, and sailors are shipping
for ten dollars a month. The people
of the country need the manufactured
products of the land, but they have
not the money to buy them with. The
manufacturers have facilities for pro-
ducirg, but have no market except the
home market and that is glutted.
What is the remedy? Everybody is
benefited by a free exchange. Then
lower the bulwark of protection which
surrounds the country. Take the raw
products of other countries in exchange
for our manufactured goods, and lessen
the taxation on ships. Then the facto-
ries will have a market, and the sea will
be covered with the white wings of
our ships which have now deserted the
ocean. Since the overthrow of pro-
lection in England, the hours of labor
and the price OF living have decreased,
while wages have more than doubled.
