To show the element of danger which exists in England, a recent writer asks< “What of the nearly one million able, bodied men who are stalking through th! land, half-maddened with starvation, ready, like hungry wolves, for almost any deed oi violence ! What oi the tens of thousands <4 wretched girls driven to the streets for bread? Ara they no element of danger which may at any moment excite the flame of civil war? ‘Emigrate, my good starving people,' rays the philanthropic statesman. Yes, emigrate, and leave room for tho scum of other nations to flo your worjt af ytttn' tlon prices, And we deny that we are bveri populated. Belgium onu keep a hundred mors on th! square mile than We MU- Why cannot England do the same ? That Is the question for statesmen to answer. Matters have come to this pass—that men willing to work, and anxious to work, and able to work, cannot get work to do in tho land of their birth, while other countries maintain in comfort and prosperity a far larger population to the acre.’ '■ '
