text from Ezekiel Kill, IL: "Another
door towards the SOUTH" and another
from Revelations xxi, Is: "0n the south
three gates" He began by saying that
there is nothing the matter with this
country except oyer-production and
snder-consumption, aud that no pres.
dent can regulate the law Of supply and
demand.
"This country" exclaim ed MIR. Tai
mage suddenly, sis the best county in
which to live. | nave 850,0Os fresh
