Waxing Fat and Kicking.

From many parts of the country
come complaints that we are being
ruined by prosperity. There is a
dearth of labor, even at greatly adj
vanced wages. A help wanted" adj
vertisement that would formerly
have brought 200 replies now brings
but two, or none at all. Orders can
not be filled because so many are be-
ing filled. Houses cannot be built
because the materials are all used up
in building other houses. Crops can
not be moved because they are Sc
vast; railroads cannot do their bust
ness because they have such unpre-
cedented business to do. Money can
not be had because it is poured out
SO lavishly. AS Mr.. j. j. Hill put it
in his address, the country is so pros
porous that it is suffering from some
thing like slow paralysis,-NewY York
