THE wORKMAN's PARADISE.

Switzerland may be termed, in
one sense, the paradise of working
men, for employers, authorities and
private persons vie with each other
in zealously promoting their mater
ial interests. Politically and socially
all are on a footing of absolute
equality, education is alike for all,
and wealth is very evenly distrib-
uted. In no other country are land
and property so equally divided
among the mass of the people. AS
there are none very poor, so there
are none very rich, and there are
not more than three per cent. of the
population who return themselves
as being of "no occupation" This
is partly due 10 the thoroughly
Democratic spirit which prevails,
and partly to the small and manage
able size of the Republic. It con-

of decentralization is carried to its
extreme point, and everything is
done by mutual voluntary assist

operative societies, in which mas
ters, workmen, and, indeed all class
es, meet ON equal footing, and in
the most fraternal spirit, to devise
schemes for the general welfare.
The Swiss operative lives in his

works at some handicraft or trade
such as Matchmaking, weaving, toy.

mutual relations between masters
and men are excellent, and though
they have in one or two instances
been disturbed, it has always been
due to foreign agitators. In times

The market for canned salmon is

a market for it in New York and

The profits of the fishing BUSH
ness may be roughly computed by
estimating the value of q case of
canned salmon. An average SAL

pounds each, and worth 50. Hap

men are employed at such an estab-

and eight or ten during the winter
months. The winters work con-
sist in making barrels and cans.
The costa of labor of twenty men
during four months, and of half
that number during the year, with
the first cost of material, must be-
deducted from total results, the re-

utilities the capital. Capital is worth
seven per cent; but bruins using
capital may be worth many times
that. Capital provides the business

FRUITbAND.

DHAR NEWs: When it was re-
ported from Cumberland Gap that
heavy eannonading was heard in
the direction Of Knoxville, our faith
err Abraham remarked that his boys
were not all dead yet; so, when an
occasional gun is heard In the di-
rection OF Fruitlaud, it will be re-
membered that those who are prov
ing Kansas to be 3 fruit country,
are not all dead yet. yT ~k..gseg
F'ruitlsnd is situated 3 miles west
Of Americas, and 5 miles north of
Plymouth. 1t is principally up
land, with gentle slopes, beautifnl
tablelands and rich bottoms along
its creeks and the Neosho river. It
is watered by Clear aud Otter
creeks, besides numerous pure, new
erfailing springs. It was frat set
tied by T. H. Stanley, in 1857; then
by G. HinshaW, in 1860, both Of
whom commenced to plant fruit
trees, Notwithstanding the howl of
the-wonld be wise ones of that day,
that Kansas was not . fruit country.
Next came the cry from shilocksI
and those who knew no better, that
the uplands of Kansas are worth
less; and still we occasionally hear
q feeble cry from the same source.
Yet those who believe that success
depends on effort, have gradually
built up our neighborhood until
we have one that Lyon county may
well feel proud Of and one that is
destined to be the fruit land of the
State. 1t is peculiarly adapted TO
fruit raising, as shown by the fact
that there has been no year since our
first trees e years ago. were old
enough to bear, that we have en-
tirely failed to have fruit; and last
year, when fruit failed all around
US we had an abundant crop. Our
frnit growers have been for several
years industriously selecting and
planting the finest varieties that
could be found, which will tell in a
short time, though they have said
but little about it except to one an
other.
A fruit and agricultural society
has been. formed, as announced q
few weeks ago. Its second session
was held on the 18th inst, at which
the views, experiments, failures and
successes of all the members were
freely exchanged; and all felt that
such an organization was beneficial.
The regular meetings of the society
are every three months. At our
meeting in July we propose to have
an exposition of the products of our
farms, orchards, vineyards and
small fruit gardens.
At our last agricultural meeting
call was made for the number of
fruit trees each member had plant
ed in his orchard, excepting nursery
stock, ornamental trees, grape vines,
small fruit, s., which were given
The seven highest
of fruit trees were as fol-
lows: C. Hinshaw, 5000; t. H.
Stanley, 5000; Jno. Bond, 1000; j.
B. Morgan, 1,1O0;. N, Beals, S44
VIM. Caldwell, 500; B. f. Dixon,
$50, making, on seven farms, with
in q radius OF one and half miles,
l1,724, while others reported within
the same radius smaller numbers,
to about 5000, while
outside of that radius are some fine
orchards.

The N. Y. Times says The
Democratic papers of Indiana an
nounce that Senator SchurZ will be-
gin TO stump that State as soon as
Congress adjourns. Senator Schurz
has stumped Indiana once before
twelve years ago, during the men,
orable Lincoln and Douglas CAM
paign. At that time he spoke from
the same platform with such honor
ed and tried champions of freedom
as Henry S. Lane, Schuyler ColfaN,
Albert s. White, Cableb b. Smith,
Oliver z. Morton and Henry L.
Ellsworth. Now he will figure side
by side with Daniel w. VOORHEES,,
who then called him ga foul
mouthed Dutch viper;" with Thos.
A. Hendricks, who, in every speech
he made in that campaign, alluded
to Schurz as 'the Lying Duichman:
with David Triple, who asserted
that "the portrait of Carl SchurZ
could be found in every rogues' gal
lery in Europe;" with Graham v.
Fitch, who called him "a fit repre-
sentative of the revolutionary riff
raft thrown upon tho shores of
America ;" with j. j. Bingham who
likened HIM to a"yelping cur bark
ing at the heels of Stephen y. Doug
las" and with numerous other
prominent Democrats, who assailed
him at that time in the coarsest bill
lingsgate. Surely, no fault can be
found with these Democratic lead
era for now petting and flattering
Schurz, and eulogizing "the genius
of the "great and illustrious" Sena-
tor from Missouri, because they
want him to draw the chestnuts out
of the fire for them; but that he
should now lie found cheek-by-
jowl with the men who in 1860
could not find epithets foul enough
to express their scorn and contempt
for him, is proof of rare forgive
ness and self-abnegation.

LETTER FROM SIDNEY CLARKE TO

ter from Sidney Clark, of Kansas,
to Senator Morton. Chairman of the

ton: s s-.s. ..-...-. ......
SIR: The report OF the Commit
tee of the Kansas Legislature, ma
king charges of bribery and corrup-
ton against the Hon. Alex. Cald-
well, in connection with his cleo
ton as United States Senator from
the State of Kansas, having been
laid before the Senate by the Vice
President, and referred 10 your
committee, and my own name hav-
ing been connected with said re-
port as candidate for Senator, as /
have good reasons to believe for
local political purposes, l have the
honor to request that an opportuni-
ty be afforded me to appear before
your: committee, and TO present
such information, now in my pos
session, as will induce full and fair
investigation of all the facts IN the
case. The absence of important
witnesses who had the knowledge
of the manner of Mr.. CaldWell,s
election, the refusal of other equal
ly important witnesses 10 attend
before the Committee of the Legls-
lature, the gravity of the charges
made, affecting alike the Integrity
of the Senate and honor of the
State, and the widespread belief on
the part of the people of Kansas
that many of the members of the
Legislature were bribed by MIR.
Caldwell to vote for him, and the
subsequent manipulation of the In
vestigating Committee of the Kan
sas Legislature, and attempted sup
preston of the testimony taken,
would seem to require that an i'm
partial inquiry should be made NY
your honorable committee. i beg
leave to add that responsible citi-
zens of Kansas, who were not be-
fore the Committee OF tao Kansas
Legislature have informed me per-
soually that they know of the pay
ment of large sums of money by
Mr.. Caldwell TO members of the
Legislature for votes, and that they
are DESTROYS ofbeing summoned be-
fore your Committee to- testify TO
the facts. The refusal of Mr.. Cald-
well to demand q full investigation
of the serious charges against him,
in not asking that your Committee
be charged with authority sto send
for persons and papers, has made it
necessary for me TO. address you
this letter, and ask that you call the
