TO The Planters Of The South =
The above named company is nov
organized and is completing it's ar
rangcmeuts to supply Southern plan
ters with Chinese laborcrs, to be col
leotod at st. Louis and distributed
through the South in time for the
crop Of next year. The labor uues
tion is obviously the great problem
to be solved in connection with the
restoration of the South to anything
liko its former prosperity. The solu.
ton OF that question is most readily
and successfully found in The vast and
over flowing population of China, the
ohcapncss of Coolic labor, the pccu-
liar adaptedness Of that race to tho
climate OF tho South and to the pro-
duction of Southern staples, and in
the cheap and convenient transporta.
tion afforded by Tho Pacific Railroad
This road is now completed from the
NJ lssissippi river to San Francisco, and
this company is now ready to cores
pond with Southern planters in refer
ence to furnishing Chinese laborers
for their plantations.
There are in California between
two and three hundred thousand Chi.
namcn at the present time, and many
moro are constantly arriving from
across the Pacific. We wish to begin
the transportation of thom to St..
Louis as soon as practicable, and to
have largo supply Of them on hand
in time for the crops Of next wear.
In answer to the principal inquiry
in regard to tho introd duction of Chi
nese labor in tho South, Two mean its
cost,) we can only say at present that
we estimate the expense of transpor-
tation at about $50 per hoad, tho cost
OF his labor at from So to SIS per
month, aud fed. In recommendation
OF the Coolies as laborer, it may, in
conclusion, be said, that it is easy to
make him II permanent fixture when
he once becomes located, rs no can bo
contracted with without difficulty for
series of years together, and he is
noted for his faithful and religious
adherence to his contracts.
