The Laborer:

A Bemedy for His rongs;

OR,

A DISQUISITION ON THE USAGES OF SOCIETY.

BY WILLIAM DEALTRY,
(Cabinet Maker,)

Author of "The History of Money; its Evils and Remedy."

"Oh mankind, what noble creatures you ought to be! You have keys to all
sciences, arts, and mysteries, but one! You can not frame a tolerable law
for the life and soul of you. You lay down rules it is impossible to com-
prehend, much less to obey. You call each other monsters because
you can not conquer the impossibility! You invent all sorts of
vices, under pretense of making laws for promoting virtue. You
make yourselves as uncomfortable as you can by all sorts of
galling, vexatious institutions."-BULWER'S PAUL CLIFFORD.

tionately dedicated to the

Honorable B. J. Mude,

and those Senators who "can not solve the labor question," and also to those who believe the hours of labor can be shortened by industry, frugality, and the use of machinery; to those par

ents who wish their chil

dren saved from un

necessary labor;

to those American youths

who wish to become acquainted with their duties as citizens of the GREAT REPUBLIC. This book is kindly given by an humble laborer, with the earnest hope that it may teach them this.
