large cities, men fully as destitute as those
of London, and quite as capable of doing
good work, if they can be induced to work
at all. 'I‘he farmers say they are indeed in
desperate straits, and many have had to
give up farming simply because they were
unable to obtain reliable help; but they
cannot see a way out of the difficulty by
the employment of the destitute of London
