the producing classes;but owing tothe directors being desirous of urging emigrationas a panacea to the working millions,to whichI am thoroughly opposed,I find they cannot affordme space in their journal,therefore,at the requestof my friends,I have decided to present it to thepublic and producing classes in its present form.  \nYours truly,  \nMARTIN J.Boox.  \nHOME COLONIZATION.  \nTo the Editor of the“Bechive.”  \nSra,-You have had,for some time past,many letters fromMr.J.Harvey on the Currency question,and from Mr.A.Wal-ton on the Land question;to both those gentlemen your rea-ders are indebted:their letters have always been clear andlucid;it therefore would be unnecesary for another to takeup your space with those questions,but,with your kind per-mission,I will endeavour to open up the important question of“Home Colonization,”and will try and show to our friendswho are so earnestly advocating emigration schemes,that theyare unknowingly committing a serious wrong to our fellow-countrymen by so doing.Iknow it is very hard for men tostop in a land of scareity,and to be at the merey of eapitalists,as it is at the present time in England.These men sigh forpeace and tranquillity,and when they are told of the prairielands of America,or the sheep farms of Australia,they long tobe away from their native shore.We can hardly blame them;they are wise,to a certain extent,to accept the smaller cer-tainties of emigration,than wait for the home revival and suc-cess;looking at things as they are,they see all monarchiesare consolidating their power to destroy democratic principlesthrough the continuance of armed forces,which has been soaptly termed“Organized Crime.”All Europe is one heavingmasB of antipathies among all classes.Peace to the cottage—war to the palace—again lifts its voice,and republicanism,  \n6  \nhand-in-hand with socialism,strives to elevate itself as theonly thing to cure the ills of society.We seem to be at thebeginning of a long reign of terror,insecurty,and social dis-t ress.Merchants and manufacturers cannot reckon upon safersturns;funds fluctuate according to the reports in theevening and morning papers;a world-wide nervousness haseized mankind,and many an undertaking,upon which labourdepends for its life,is not carried out for fear of failure andrin to its projectors.Hundreds among us are annually killedly brain and heart disease,unable to hold out against so many(alls upon their systems.The laws of entail and primogeni-tare,which have consolidated estates and amalgamated smallfarms,have fearfully increased the evils of society.One sonrets a large estate,and his younger brothers,who might havetilled their own land inheritance,are driven into the towns to(ompete with the teeming crowds who are alrendy
