The Raid on Farm Machinery.

An ominous indication of the lawless tenn
per of portion of our population is afforded
by the war against labor-saving machinery
which has broken out in some parts of the
West. Mowers, reapers, and other heavy
instruments of husbaudry are broken up,
barns and ricks are fired, and farmers warned
that unless they at once so back to the sole
employment of hand-labor their property will
be destroyed. This raid upon machinery is a
direct result of Communist teachings. Our
idlers have been taught that no man has a
right by the exercise of industry, frugality or
ingenuity, to earn and save more money than
is earned or saved by his idle, dissolute or
spendthrift neighbor. They have been taught
that the accumulation of property is theft.
They have been taught that the rich man
is expressing them and taking the food from
their mouths. They have been taught that
the Money Power has reduced them to pov-
erty and distress. Believing these things
they lCok upon the farmer who has planted
great fields and expects at haryest-time to
sell immense crops, as robber who is taking
the bread from their mouths, who makes his
wealthy refusing to employ laborers and uses
instead iron machines that multiply his i'll.
gotten gains at the expense of his fellow men.
He is bloated capitalist who starves Others
that he may live in luxury. Logically enough
they assert what they have been taught to

BEFORE getting excited over the ruling out
of Columbia from one of the races of the
Henley regatta it is well to recall what the
English journal, PaU,Mall. had to say of the
crew some weeks ago. 1t said: "Their steer
ing is decidedly erratic. 1t would be great
pity if foul should take place in any race in
which they are engaged, for in such case
we should never hear the last of it in the
American press. If, however, the Columbia
men do not manage their steering gear better
in the regatta than they do at present in prac-
tice, it will be over on foul, more especially
if they are drawn three in heat" 1t is just
possible that the English did not intend to
cheat, and that the steering of the Coumbias
was not absolutely perfect. 1t would be a
pity to justify the i'll opinion held of us by the
Englishmen and cry foul play whenever we
happen to be defeated.

Back to White PeOnIa.

In Mr.. Ell M. Stanlay's forthcoming record
of his African travels he thus describes his
impressions on drawing near to the west coast
and seeing white faces for the first time for
many long months: eve had gradually de-
scended some 500 feet along the declining spurs
when we saw a scattered string of hammocks
appearing, and CLEANS of startling whiteuess,
such as were given by fine linen and twills.
A buzz Of wonder ran along our column. Pro-
ceeding little further we stopped, and in
short time was face to face with four white
ay, truly white men! As 1 looked into their
faces L blushed to find that was wondering at
their paleness. Poor pagan Africans -
Rwoma and Mimi, and man-eating tribes of
the Livingstone! The whole secret OF their
wonder and curiosity flashed upon me at once.
What arrested the twanging bow and the dead
ly trigger of the cannibals? What but the
weird pallor of myself and Frankl In the same
manner the sight of the psls faces of the EN-
bomma merchants gave me the slightest sus-
picion of an involuntary shiver The pale
color after so long gazing on rich black and
richer brenze had something of an unaccounta-

dark. Yet there was something very self
possessed about the carriage of these white
men. 1t was grand; little of self-pride mixed
with cordiality. L could not remember Just
when | had witnessed such bearing among any
tribe throughout Africa. They spoke well also;
the words they uttered hit the sense pat; with
out gesture they were perfectly intelligible.
How strangel 1t was delightful to observe the
slight mods of tine head; the intelligent facial
movements were admirably expressive. They
were completely clothed, and neat also 1 ought

colored neckties, patent leather boots, well cut
white clothes, virtuously clean! 1 looked from
them to my people, and then fear 1 felt al
most like being grateful to the Creator that
was not black as they, and that these finely
dressed, well-spoken whites claimed me as
friend and kin. Yet did not dare to place
myself upon an equality with them as yet. The
calm blue and gray eyes rather awed me, and
the immaculate purity Of their clothes
dazzled me- was content to suppose myself q

TITUS OATES ANDERSON, before the SEN
ate committee in 1876, testified that he signed
and swore to the protest from East Feliciana
as supervisor of the election. He now swears
before the Potter committee that he signed,
but did not write or swear to that protest,
because it was partly in blank, and was un-
true in the statement that intimidation in the
parish had prevented the Republican major
ity from registering and voting. But all the
witnesses called to verify that statement
prove that he did write, sign and swear to
the protest, and clearly establish his treach-
cry and perjury and his corrupt bargaining
with the Democracy to perjure himself as
means OF fraudulently securing the State to
Tilden.

THE wickedness and folly of the movement
against farm machinery in the West are easi-
ly perceivable. Machinery has greatly in
creased instead of diminishing the employ
ment of labor. Vastly more men are en-
gagged in the making of shoes to-day than be-
fore the machinery of our shoe-shops was in
vented. Where one wore shoes half centu-
ry ago ten wear them to-day. A great indus
try has been built up. The same is true OF
the sewing machine. 1t was said that ma
chimes would throw out of employment thous-
ands of sewing girls. On the contrary it has
given employment to tens of thous ands, and
has greatly cheapened clothing as our cloth
lug shops testify The spinning jenny, of
which such dire results were predicted has
spread the use of and cheapened cotton goods,
and given employment in its later develop
ments to hundreds of thousands ofoperatves.
The railroad was to render horses valueless
property. To-day twice the number of horses
are used. So with farm machinery. 1t has
greatly increased the area of land under cul-
tivation and cheapened the price of food. 1t
has not reduced the number of laborers. On
the contrary it gives additional employment
to men not only on the farms but In the busi-
ness of transportation; and an increased call
for transportation means the opening of more
railways, the mining of more iron, the build
ing of more cars and the springing up of
towns and cities. The stopping of all these
things is what the communist war means,
