A CORRESPONDENT of the OregoniGa
IN the course of a very sensible letter,
makes the following remarks which
are quite pertinent to the conditions
which confront this community:
DAILY are we witnesses of anxious
efforts on the part of deserving men
and women who aim to keep the wolf
from the door, and the reward for
such services is the last straw on the
camePs back. The claim set forth
that there is work for any and all who
wait is absurd. This remark refers
only to the severest kind OF manual
labor. All men cannot do this;
women certainly not. What is wanted
is manufactures; large and numer-
GUS establishments where women can
find employment suitable to their
constitutions, and where young men
can be fitted for a sphere Of useful
ness. These we must have ere the
future greatness of this country can
be assured"
