three applications, but in every

After exhuasting all expedients
to procure laborers at home for
money or a share of the crops,
many have sought them in the
city and in the States to the East
of US with but partial success.
The same scarcity of labor, if
we judge from reports, exits in
the sugar regions and other por-
tons of the State. This general
scarcity, coupled with the buoy
ant market for the products of
of the cane, has greatly enhanced
the value of labor to the sugar
planter. Prices have gone bey

less present prices of sugar and

the sugar regions have caused a
general exodus of labor from this

What complexities the difficulty
OF scarce labor, is the generally
wet and backward season. But
little ploughing has been done,
compared with what should have
been. The corn will be planted
much later in March than last
year, and, as a consequence, the
| pitching of the cotton crop will be
greatly delayed. Upon mature
survey Of all the circumstances,
we can but think the amount of
cotton raised and shipped this
year will fall much below the
crop of 1868, even if the worm and
unIavorable seasons do not inter-
vene to damage the breadth plant

If this is the result now, what

~ Tt is not well known

- 1t is not well known
perhaps that the Russians are
among the earliest of modern
races who adopted and put in
practical form the cooperative
society system. From the most
ancient times there has existed
among the peasant population
of Russia communeS Or socie-
ties, in which a trade or neigh
| borhood would band together
for mutual pecuniary aid and
protection. The system exists
in large cities as well, and is
productive of great material
well-being to the participants.
a curious feature is that the
tendency to community some
times causes whole villages to
have the same occupation
There are villages where all the
inhabitants are tailors or carr
penters, and in the district of
liver one will find settlements
wholly of shoemakers. ssThe
system prevails also in the ar
my. The funds OF a company
are entrusted to a head man,
who provisions and clothes
often all the members, and
provides for their wants in
cases Of sickness. In the socie-
ties of Riga the artisans pay
into the common treasury Is
per cent. of their earnings,
which goes to form a fund for
the relief of the sick. or for the
widows and children of the de-
ceased members. This COM
munismis one of the most i'm
portant elements in the compo-
sition of Russian society.
