WE DO NOT BELIEVE that Charleston is one
iota behind its rivals in prosperity; but many
do believe it, and this depresses our material
interests and lowers The price of labor, living
and rents. 1t has but ore advantage-that
with these things cheaper, we can make our
blank books and do our printing cheaper at
home than abroad. So buy your blank books
from Walker, Evans & Cogswell, who are the
only firm who make their entire stock of
blank books in the South. de228-l

sheep, mutton, mich COWS, and
fine pigs were made. I think L.
may, with propriety, now request
my inquiriDg friend from Georgia
to answer the inquiry-"have l
made money since the war;"
l do not believe ono planter in
ahundred throughout tile South
has done better than I nor will
.they;ever do as well so long as the
owners time and talents go for
nought in the miserable system
Of Icropping" now almost uni
versally adopted by cotton plant-
ers. The laborerwbo claims a part
of the crop has time, labor, his ra
tons, his all computed in the con-
tract. The employer may reckon
upon the rent, and wear andtear
of land, and use of the mule, but
never have l heard of one claiming
dime for his time, knowledge,
risk, protection, or manifold assist
ance. Such a course will impov.
ish the country. As soon would
| think the Lowell manufacturer
should share his manufactured cal
icoes with bis operatives, as to ap..
prove giving my laborers part OF
my crop. If hands cannot be had
for wages, better, far better would
it be to rent them land for a stipu-
lated product, say fifty, seventy
Eve, or one hundred pounds of lint
cotton per acre for every acre cul-
tivated, and allow the laborer to
"pitch" and cultivate his own crop.
This year I furnish a yield OF
twenty-five acres and a fed mule
to one family for 800 Tbs. of lint
cotton, the first ginned. To another
thirty acres for 1000 lbs. The
rest hired for wages. If drought
.destroy my crop, these last;wll
in one way or another add to the
permanent improvements OF my
| plantation enough to compensate
me for their wages. The labor
question is an exhaustless theme
and cannot here be discussed. :
