According to the Chicago Herald.
England is suffering from the tendency
of unemployed laborers to flock into
the city, just as this country is. In
England, however, many of the idle
men are agricultural laborers, for
whom there is no work. In the
United States the supply of farm hands
never exceeds the demand, and it IS
safe to say that every one of the UNI
employed of the great cities could now
secure work on the farms of the north
west. The tendency in both countries
is the same, however. The idle man
invariably turns to thu city, where
there is no earthly chance of getting
work, rather than remain in the VIII
lagos or the rural districts where COM
petition is less keen and where the OPP
portunity for at least earning living
is ten times greater. Until some REM
edy is found for this gregarious ten
dency, there will always be glut of
labor in the cities, while the farmer
win suffer for the lack of necessary
assistance in taking care Of his crops
1t is unfortunate, too, that the herding
habit seems 10 be increasing rather
than diminishing.

Our taxes are only 81 mills on the

Our natural rebources Of forest, farm,

We offer the heartiest welcome to our
