Don't Go to the City, Young Man.

Too many of the citizens Of the agricultur-
al regions of our country have, for the last
half century, shown a disposition TO turn
over to strangers ancestral homes and patri-
monial acres, and seek their fortunes in the
great cities. In New England especially
has this been true. The uneventful but in
dependent life of the farm has been insufh-
cent to satisfy the restless Yankee, and so
the rural disticts have been drained to fill
the cities to OVERLOOKING. The result has
often been that for every place where one
man was wanted, there have been at least
two applicants.
So long as our cities contain just the re-
quisite number of persons needed to do the
actual business of city, every one will find
employment at renumerative prices but if
the work which is necessary to conduct the
business operations of any community be
divided among twice as many men as are
needed, it follows that on an average labor
ers, for half the time, must be unemployed :.
and this is not all the difficulty Whenever
the supply of laborers greatly exceeds the
demand, wages usually decrease in proper
ton to the inequality.
