He especially referred to the rllmors that

IN accordance with an ordinary custom
due from one civilized nation to another,
there should be no unnecessary DELAY in the
formal recognition of the Spanish Government

not asked England to interfere; he considered the
recognition OF the Spanish Government at present
premature, when the time arrived it would be

Chicago has announced that there is no i'm
mediate need Of pecuni 'ry help from abroad,
although the fire has left good many people
entirely destitute. There yet remains in the
hands of the Relief and Aid Society nearly
$1,000 Of the former fund, and this is be-
lieved to be ample for the emergency, As no
factories Of any size were burned, there is no
deprivation of employment, and the demand
for labor will practically be increased by the
fire. The applications for relief on the day
after the fire numbered but fifty. The season
OF the year is so favorable that it is believed
the distress which this calamity may occasion
will be only short-lived

The trade returns of the port OF New York,
for the fiscal year ending with June last, have
been made up by the Journal Of Commerce of
that city. The imports amounted to 1896, O9O-
S52, gold value, compared with 42O millions
the previous year, and nearly 416 millions in
1912. The exports in currency values were
1854. 64S, l76, compared with 1921 millions the
previous year, and 1851 millions in 1912
Thus it will be seen that whilst there was de-
cided falling off in the imports, the WIS
equally as decided gain in the exports. The
customs duties collected darin the last fiscal
year at New York were sl1O, ,272, in gold,
compared with 1875 millions for the previous
year, and l4S millions in 1912. The decline
between 1912 and 1928 was caused by re-
auctions in duties, but the decline OF the Last
fiscal year is owing 70 the shrinkase in the inn
port trade.

A crop of one hundred bushels to the acre,
of any grain or root, would be considered
something enormous. Yet this kind of crop
is reported from Minnesota and Iowa. In the
sections where the greatest devastation has
been wrought, the reports estimate the grass
hoppers at zone hundred bushels to the acre, -
this having been accurately ascertained on at
least one farm. There can be no better idea
given of the vast numbers of these insects,
who defy enumeration on any other system.

HOW TO GET WHITE LABOR.
SUGGESTIONS WORTH CONSIDERING.

SC6GEbTlONS WOEIH CONSIDERING.
The following suggestions in regard to the
importation Of white labor are well worthy OF
the serious consideration of our planters and
citizens generally. They are made by gen,
tleman fully posted on the subject, and he
assures us that, with but little trouble and
small outlay, we could soon add materially to
our white population:
To the Editor of the Bulletin:
II the White Leagues in the city are consid-
cred necessary for the protection of the white
race, how much more DESTROYS is an energetic
course of action in the parishes for the same
purpose, where the colored race is more
numerous.
The most efficient mode Of protection for the
planters is to introduce honest white laborers
who are willing to work in gangs, and who pre-
fer the climate of Louisiana as assimilatng more
to that Of their native home.
The labOrers OF Portugal and the north of
Spain have proved themselves honest and suita-
BILE. Some Of them have been working for three
years on sugar plantations on Bayou Lafourche.
Others are LII their second year, above, on the
river
The last arrivals paid their own passages.
Many are willing to come with their families pro-
vlded their passages be part paid on their arrival
Say, on an average, the sum TO complete the
passage may reach from SIS to $40 per head
Their wages are slz per month for men and So
for women laborers, half payable at the end of
each month, and half at the end of the crop.
Their weekly rations are II pounds flour 2
pounds sugar, pounds beans, 2 pounds rice /
pound coffee, pounds Goldfish pounds pork.
Night watches are paid so cents.
During the grinding season, calculating upon
~ days, there is an economy. Of $40, with each
one Of these hands, employed for night watches.
We will say nothing Of the economy of having
honest people in the sugar house.
My object is not to expatiate on the advantages
OF the introduction of white laborers, who are
,oiQing to work plantations, and thus check ex-
tortionate demands on the part Of what may We
termed Union men,
The purport of these few lines is to brush up
the impr0vident planter and factor, to bestir
themselves in contributing towards sending over
one, two, three or more able and experienced
agents to Spain and Portugal, to send out such
desirable laborers.
Among those brought out during the three
years past, there are very many good laborers,
who speak English fuently, and could serve as
interpreters to the fresh arrivals, working with
them in the field.
Let each healthily located parish see how much
money can be raised. no one requiring to sub
scribe more than 800, and at the same time as
certain what number of laboring families
the planters are willing to take on their arrival
here.
The effect upon the present plantation laborers
cannot be general without the introduction of
these white iaborers into all the healthy parishes
where the arrival of 100 good hard working white
men at time will influence the prices demand
ed by 1000 cOlored laborers. cN
