Ojf.ce of the Committee on Labor , In comes, and Revenues, Xo. 118 South Seventh street, Philadelphia, April 4, 1804. rpHE Committee on " Labor, Incomes and A Revenues," invite cn operation with them in the particular work for which they have been appointed. As no portion of the peo ple are more patriotic than the working men and women of the country, is is butjusfcand proper that they should alike have an oppor tunity to contribute to the objects of the Fair. The most equable plan for accomplish ing this, and, at the same time the easiest one, is to ask for the contribution of a SINGLE DAY'S LABOR from all classes in the communi ty. Many will contribute a day of their labor willingly, who would not subscribe their unfhey. To reach every department of industry and art will be a work of great labor but, >f attained, will be productive of im mense results. The success of the plan will depend upon the hearty co-operation of every element of influence within our limits, and we invite ali the guardians of the industrial interests, and all others, to take hold with us in furthering this great work of patriotism and humanity. The Committee is charged with the follow ing duty, to wit : Ist.—-To obtain the contribution of "one day's labor," or earning, from every artizao and laborer, foreman, operative and employee; president, cashier, teller and clerk of every incorporated and unincorporated company, etnp oying firm, bank, manufactory, iron works, oil works, mill, mine and public office; from every private banker and broker, im porter, auctioneer and merchant; clerk, agent and salesman; designer, finisher and artist; publisher, printer and mechanic; from every government officer, contractor and employee; grocer, butcher, baker and dealer; farmer, horticulturist and producer; from every man tua maker, milliner and female operative: every individual engaged iu turning the soil, tending the loom, or in any way earning a livelihood, or building a fortune within the States of Pensylvania, New Jersey and Delu ware. 2d.—To obtain the contributions of one day's "Revenue," finm ail the great employ ing establishments, firms, corporations, com patties, railroads and works. 3d.—To obtain the contribution of one day's income from every retired person, and person of fortune—male and female—living upon their means, and from all clergymen, lawyers, physicians, dentists, editors, authors and* professors; all other persons engaged in the learned or other professions. Much of this work must be performed By the personal influence and eff >rts of ladies and gentlemen associated with the Committee in carrying out this plan. The Committee feel the responsibility of the work they have undertaken, which, to hp successful, will require a very perfect ramifi cation of their plan, and they therefore call upon all earnest people, to assemble them selves together in every town, township, ami county, and form organizations of ladies and gentlemen to co-operate with them in this great work and labor of love. In the manu factoring counties, the coal and oil regions, and in the agricultural districts.—especially, let there be organizations in the large towns, so that the young people may haveanoppor l tunity thus to render a.-sistance to their rela tives and friends lighting the battles of their country in the armies of the nation. The work of this Committee may be pros ecuted where no other effort can he made for the Fair, as in the mines of the coal regions. A day's earnings of the miners, and a day's product of the mines, can be obtained, where no portable article could be prcured for transportation. Indeed there is no part or section of these States where the day's labor m y not b enlist for the lirst I time. Payment will be made as follows:—At the ' Principal Depot after being mustered into j service, veterans, SOO,OO ; new recruits | $60,00 ; also, one mentb's pay in advance, $13,00 —total to each, $73,00. The remainder of the bounty will be paid jin six equal instalments. Persons enlisting ; at tbe present time can have themselves | credited to any Ward, Township or County ; in the State, and will thereby receive a Locai Bounty of from one hundred and thirty to two ! hundred dollars, in addition to the United j States Bounty. tHaif Pay and subsistence from date of en listment.
