their tables were often destitute of bolh meat

We knew Immigrants of 18 IS who made

Hut those of us who are iiim-h in debt, as
very many of us are, find it difficult, with

traffic. The remedies proposed are all in
the future, and they will come along in due
time by the natural course of events they
annot be forced. The only way at pres
ent is to understand our rtul position and
future prospects, mid prepuro for the worst
as best wo can.
Fruit, which has hitherto been our main
lependence, is now dull, and it will not be
many years till fruit will be shipped to Port
land from California. Unless new gold
mines arc opened, or the recently discovered
ud in. ucs can be mudotopaya large num
ber of laborers, or something else of the
kind turns np to briti money into the coun
try, we shall soon be in the 'short rows' in
a pecuniary point of view. Wheat is the
staple production of this country, and we
ure inclined to believe that it is soon to be
Hie farmer's main dependence. With the
present prices of lubor, wheat cannot bo
made for less than a dollar a bushel, yet we
huvo no idea that wheat can be sold for that
price again soon, unless in ease or a light
crop. The present prospect is that prices
will continue to decline hero until they
reach tho scale or prices in tho Eastern
States. Labor must conic down to prices
in tho Atlantic ami Western States, or
farmers must stop hiring, and depend en
tirely iipoii their fumily forces far producing
grain. TIkv must tro to work tliemcelvn.
and mukc every boy that is able to hold n
plow walk into the field and do something
in the way or producing grain. The fact is,
our farmers haven't yet raised more than
hull" the grain they might have raised on an
average. A. who has hitherin Krtlfl ft! i!t n
hundred bushels of wheat n year, must herc-
afier sell two hundred. He can do it if he
Hies urounil a little faster, nml then not
