THE cotton crop Of the United States
for 1870 will amount to $500, 600 bales,
an increase of 100000 bales over 1869.
This is perhaps proof that the South is
not suffering to any very great extent
from the idleness and negligence of its
negro labor. The negroes are now paid
wages, and, in the long run, planters will
find that labor which is hired will pro-
duce more than labor which is stolen.
That there are thousands Of negroes at
the South who labor very little, and no
more than to earn enough to lise, who,
under an enforced system, would per-
form more work, is true, but the general
result will be found to be the same at the
South as lsewhere--that the production
of paid labor is greater than that of slave
labor.
