THE LABOR QUESTION.

A Marietta Correspondent of the Ma
con Journal & Messenger presents some
suggestions worthy of consideration on
the above subject, though we do not sup
pose that discussion will much affect the
solution of the problem:
81 would like to know, in the name Of
humanity, what we expect to do with
the Chinaman when we have SO signal
ly failed to manage, to q good adyan-
tage, what we have with us--and | am
not speaking speculatively as the man
ner in which labor is controlled in this
section of Georgia, flor it amounts to
nothing, isn't crontrolled at all,) but
have had three years experience in the
cotton belt proper and know whereof /
speak.
Already enough labor is in the South,
and actually pretending to work, mot
taking into account tho great number
doing nothing,) to make with all case in
the world double the product now pro-
duced
do we wish to arrange, and is it to
our interest to work to suit the pecuni-
airy interest of the Northern States and
Europe to the detriment Of our own p
Suppose we add little more tact aud
system and learn to control properly, as
to our interest and to his vital interest,
the native negro, and leave Chinese inn
migration for time to work out its own
destiny
Suppose w% induce and coax into
this country monerel race of Cinnamon
and the scr gangs Of the four corners of
the earth, ASoid of intelligence, and
mix them VITA the negro already here
and clear and wear out more land, push
madly and wildly on till we might reach
five or even ten million bales cotton,
and what might be the mighty results or
disastrous consequences OF such
.course2 Time alone can tell.
Is it not far better to encourage sys-
TEN, science and economy, instead Of
foreign immigration, thereby producing
five or six million bales Of cotton and q
bountiful supply of provisions with tho
same labor now actually pretending to
work Who, that has made tests and
experiments in subsoiling, fertilizing,
and nice culture, will doubt for mo-
ment that we can double our present
average product with the same labor
now in the country. 1t can be easily
accomplished. Let US employ our la
borers for wages, and pay them as good
price as we are able to do, and then
see that they fill the bill to lettcr--con-
vince and force them to see that capital
must and soiH control labor, and not In
Dor capital, and that the sooner they fall
into line properly the better for them
and their postcrity."

GOOD ADVICE.

The N. Y. Tribune furnishes the fol-
lowing useful hints to Southern enter
prise. The view taken of our interests
is correct one and we would be glad to
see our energies more generally direct
cd in the way Indicated:
"Other regions, as India, Egypt,
Brazil, and the African coast, can sup
ply to the clamorous looms of Lancashire
sufficient cotton for lower grades of
cloth, for the coarscr yarns used in fill
ing. But for long, fine threads requir-
ed in the muslins, lawns, fine prints,
and highest grades of shir6ngs and
sheetings, American thread cannot be
replaced. Cotton thread fine, strong
and even, is the precise article which
England most needs from us, and she
must continue to require it rs long as she
has that immense surplus population be-
sceching work that they may live, re-
quiring additional looms to keep them
from the poor loaf and thin soup Of ipau-
pcrism. These cotton yarns can be spun
at the South at less cost, with less waste,
by as cheap labor, fed by as cheap food,
as in any part Of the world.
There arc immense pine forests to
supply fuel, the weather is so mild that
spinning houses would consume but a
trinc for heat, and spinning can be done
by that large class of half hands, the
crippled, the old and young, those fee=.
bic in body and abased In spirit, with
whom the South abounds. For manu'
facturcrs of the highest class, arts which
require vigilonce and skill, . trained eye
and nice touch at every stage of an
operation, the South does not now fur
nsh full supply Of the grade of Ia
Dor required. But to tend the cylin-
ders, cards, jack frames, and ring tray
clcr frames, by which cotton lint is con-
vertcd into cotton yarns, numbering
from 20 to 40, does not require a better
operative than the plantations and the
pine woods Of the Cotton Belt can turn
out in abundance.
A.spinning-house, fully equipped with
every wheel and spindle required Tor
converting annually thousand bales
into yarn, with comfortable cabins for
spinncrs, can be put'up for $50, 00O.--
The net profits of such mill may be
about $4,000 a year. Think of the
immense increase of wealth and power
to a community to be gained by supply
ing such an empire as the British with
an article of prime necessity and pock'
citing twenty dollars a bale gain over
and above the profit of growing the cot
ton The South thinks she needs more
agricultural laborers, more Africans or
Asiatics. That is her error. She needs
more of the descendants eff Japheth, net
Normans with hereditary pride of blood
and of acres, but the patient, skillful, in
dustrious artisan, thc~artifccr in brass
and copper, the man who thinks in iron.
u pom this class depends the world wide
vigor and grasp of the British Empire
this class it was that gave the North !
her yictory. The South does not lack
the foresight and the thrift to see that
her future power and unchallcnged
equality in national affairs depend not
on a plow-bcam but ON a cog-wheel."

ing.aIlusion to Mr.. Peabody from the
Grafton delivered by Hon. II. w. Hill
lard, at the late Commencement of the
Wesleyan Female College at Macon.
"There is great danger in this rank
utilitarian spirit. Men may deal SO
much in money as to estimate every
thing by it-friendship, love, liberty,

advance in material civilization that we

"Wealth is entitled to consideration
when it comes to reward honest toll and
honorable enterprise. It is worthy CT
all praise when it is employed for the
advancement of the happiness of our
race. George Peabody rivals John
Howard in the veneration OF mankind.
Both will go down to the coming gener-
atoms with the noblest of all earthly
Observation-Disclosures. But nothing ia
so vulgar as wealth when it is boarded
with mcanness, or lavished to pamper
pride, or exhibited with insolent osten-
tation. The social position which it en-
ablcs one to attain, who lacks true no
bleness Of nature, only exposes him to
contempt. The lines of Burnsstill thrill
the heart of every true man and every
true woman:

HON. ROBERT ]. WALKER,

Hon. Robert J. Walker, whose death was
announced in our dispatches Yesterday,
was one of the oldest politicians in the
oo,n,rv having been actively engaged in
notifies for nearly fifty years. lie was born
a, Northumberland, Pa, in 1901, and IN
1921 located in Pittsburgh and commenced
tina practice of law, and entered actively into
the political struggles of the day. be soon
after went to Mississippi to reside, and IN
1896 was elected 10 the L. S. Senate. lie
was re elected for a second term, but re-
signed 10 1915 to take position IN Presl'
dent Folks cabinet. AS Secretary OF the
Treasury under Mr.. Folks administration
he made his fame. On the accession OF
Mr.. Buchanan TO the Presidency IN 1891,
Mr.. Walker was appointed Governor OF the
then Territory of Kansas, but the othce not
being conrenial to his tastes, probably by
r.ason of the bitter strife which marked the
e;rIy history of the State, he resigned. lie
never afterwards held an office, but never
ceased to feel lively interest in public at
fairs, particularly national finances, with
which he was thoroughly familiar, and
which he was always ready to discuss. DE
was life long Democrat of the old school
and died in the faith.
