ONE SUGGESTION PoR THE AGRICULTURAL
LABOURER.
PUN Doan?.

There are senods of eiourbanos &ran soonest the
egrioultaral Labourers. if,. and there • meeting is
beier held, the Labourers Union Cknonide a hieing
elreulated, and here and there • strike I. made in
threatened. and in all probhility it,.,. thine* ..11
Screw sui the season &Amasoos and work Shoats more
amoral and urgent. They are had and mischievous,
they herden the rester and they nissettie nod make
diaoontented and unhappy tt• man, who, although he
may mum temporary inponvenienee and wienyans, la,
in the end, sure to be teorited, either by driving his
employer to adopt an altered and laboursaving eystes
a farming or by those minify other way. In widish the
stronger can always draw herd lines emit the seeker.
But, whild there thine* ere bad and mischievous
rod ogee dietrast and lit•feeling Wiese employer
and employed, still the time has unmistakeably rooms
when employers suet look anenual them and ponder
thee things and Pm how they each according to his
Position end opportunities om beet improve the con.
dltion of his Labourers, and thus render them con.
Meted with that toe, and Proof against the uneettliog
words of agitators.
In the few words whisk I propose now to write,! do
not intend to enter upon the slier field of the seeds'
ways in which, I thick. the interest and well-being of
the Amicalturel Labourer can amorally be bet pro-
moted, but only tn make one ingestion towards that
end which, &mole. tbouith it be, is, to my slad, if sited
upon, fraught with most bleat imosequenme to the
Labourer.
fern are in the oounties of Will and Dorset many
Friendly ficeetiee, of the great majority of which I fear
it can only with truth be salt that they are • meeker',
-• delusioe, and a snare; that everything connected
with item is soisouud, and can only end in disappoint-
ment ; and them societies. ton, only provide for
ekkoess, not for the incapacity of old age.
&Athena are two maledes to which these remarks are
not applicable. which are winduoted upon right rules
and ri.ht primate's, the paymeede to which are based
upon the calculations 4 expetteme, and which, whilst
Providing against slackness, do also sonteraolsbe the
tinkles provision for oil age and then two Sosidie,
each with now a lege mouraniated toad, are the Wilts '
Count. Friend'y Sooldty and the Dodd County
Friendly Society.
And the saegestion stile% I make is that employers
In either *aunty should insure and pay for their
Lshenrers in one or other of these Couoly Soeietime,
firs pay sod medical attendance in Bickner, and
emoodie for provision in old age.
Employers god not be alarmed at this suggestion,
and without ceonstderstion seek stoat for arguments to
prove how attsrly Utopian and icupreeteable it is and
imporibie of Any other gun very exeeptirnal
adoption.
It is no great loader that I propose In them after all.
Writing with the tables el the Dorset enmity Friends
Society before me, I see that to insure • man .gel 22

Ulnae and 7s. • week after he attains 65 for his life,
the payment is Sf 4. per week: and foe owo people,
whose ages range between 15 and 55. I see that my
weekly payment averages la oil. • head for the same
benefits.
The greet seniority of employers, an m'ir• especially
the Large Tenant Ferman of both mantis, whom I
know that my serration, if meted spun, would meanly
dtzet, are thoughtful, kindly man, well disposed
towards their labourers; in dolmen they are kind to
them, and in rid age they do not turn adrift, or drive
to the Union those whose strength and 0111•010 they
have WSJ in their youth and middle age.
These employers, with scarcely and exception, would
admit that • aometblog more must now be done in
regard to the Labourer, and, admitting this, then I
think my suegestlea is one deserving osseideration.
That objeetioas mey be urged, that ethicists may be
made upon it. I am perfeetly aware; one objection
may be, that the Labourers are 410 t permanent in one
place, and soother, that it is MOM than so be

that Agrimeltural Labourers are, or ciertanly have

To the second I should my, knowing, as I de, quite

Clad Tenant Farmers know as well as I do, that the
