SOUTHERN EMIGRATION

THE TRIBUNE, at the close OF the strikes
last July, urged the diversion OF the unem-
plOyed labor in the cities into the waste lands
of the Middle and Southern States, as prac-
rical solution OF the labor problem. Since
then, we are in constant receipt Of commune
cations-hrst, from land spectators who wish
to advertise their property gratuitously, and
secondly, from men out OF work, who would
GLADLY 90 to farming, but have no money to
20 with, and if they had it, do not know how
or where to go. Our advice to the last class
is, don't wait for somebody else to move and
carry you with them to prosperity. Pick out
five, ten, fifty other labOrers-sober, industrl-
GUS, pushing men, Of different trades, If pos
sible; find how much of the necessary money
you can command, and then go to some capl-
taist and ask for loan of the rest, giving
mortgages on your land as security for its pay
ment A very few thousand dollars would estab-
lish such colony, and there are many capitalists
in every considerable city who would gladly
lend money on such security, provided the
men applying for it were of the right quality
There is no safer investment than help given
to the man who helps himself. II is much
easier obtained than charity, OF which there Is
no scarcity, as we all know.
As for the place to go. That is 4 matter for
which the emigrant must shoulder the whole
responsibility. In the case of such colony
as we describe, one or two of the shrewdest,
most intelligent men should be sent in adj
vance to thoroughly examine localities. We
propose to give in THE TRIBUNE brief de-
scription of the climate, resources and price
of the unimproved land in the neighbOring
States, but the settler must decide for himself
as to their relative advantages. In no case has
the information which we give been
drawn from spectators or interested par
ties, but from statistics prOffered by
the Governors of the several States.
Owing to tho steady current OF emigration
westward there has been singular public ig-
norance in regard to the waste lands OF the
older States; lands which recommend them
selves to the emigrant by their nearness to
the great markets and to his old home and
associations, by the established civilization
which hens them in, and in the majority of
cases by their moderate climate and freedom
from malaria. One word Of warning, however.
A man who goes to the virgin soil in Virginia
or Arizona to make capital out of it, must do
il by hard work. We are not inviting our
idle workmen to howery beds of ease when
we advise them to leave the street corner the
doors of closed mills, labor leagues, and the
organized charities which fed them last Winter,
and go to grubbing out stumps and planting
corn. But we are inviting them, as we be-
leve, to independence, to health. to mans
work and mans pay, to future comfort and
n probable competence for themselves and their
children.

THE SOUTHS LITTLE ELL.

There are men, strange as it seems, who
think that Tammany Democracy may be
trusted to protect the Government against
theft, spOliatiOn, and wantOn expenditure.
The South sends in its bill. A little bill !;
already it is above $150,00O,00O. and the
only certain thing about it is that the greater
number of demands and the larger demands
are still lying under matches. Never fear!'
say Democrats "havc we not q staunch
"NOrtbern Democracy to protect the coun-
"tyW This passes the ludcrOus and ap
proaches the sublime When has Solid South

bent the kneeq Claims on behalf of the
South, to "get even" because of losses dur
ing and incident to the war, are likely to be
sustained by a Solid South. Was there ever
q Northern Democrat who neglected to sneeze
when the South took snuff
Western Democracy may stand aside for the
present. Whether its real name is Democracy
or Communism, we shall see in due time.
But Tammany Democracy has not less its
special reasons for claiming confidence. 1t is
powerful organization. 1t reaches into Mas
sachusetts, Connecticut and New Jersey; its
adherents know how to "make it hot" for
any prominent Democrat who disregards its
will. Where is the Democratic statesman
who wants to run for President without
chance of the electoral vote of NewYOrk?
But the State may vote as it likes; Tammany
knows of old that votes count only when they
are counted.
OF Eastern Democracy, Tammany is the
master. Some malcOntents there are, but New
York City is the stronghold of Democracy at
the East, and when Tammany ceases to count
the votes, it will cease to rule NewYork.
Moreover, the spirit of Tammany has diff
fused ITSELF Democrats elsewhere smell the
flesll-pots, and organize, and maintain discip-
line and find out how to count votes, because
they have grasped the ruling idea of Tammany

the country against the hunger Of the South.

Nr. Hewitt does not seem to be seriously alarmed
by the Democratic storm he has aroused. According
to correspondent of The Philadelphia Press he said
recently, that he was not troubled by threats Of
political ruin to himself; in his opinion it was time
that something settled if the country were ever
to have peace; that this constant agitation of the
Presidents title, of financial questions of tariff and
trade was calculated to destroy business and to de.
ter revival of activity in all branches of industry,
Every man of sense knows this to be true, but the
trouble with the average Democrat is that he does
not want revival of industry, but revival Of
Democratic rule.
DR.. Linderman has given the silver advocates
fresh cause of complaint against him by saying the
country does not need any new mints at this time;
that the silver law can be executed by reopening
the New-Orleans mint at an expense Of 100000;
that every new mint would cost at least $3.50 900,
and that to double the present capacity of the mnts
as the silver advocates demand would cost at least
81 900, 900. There will be violent response to
this statement. At least a half-dozen Western
cities have made up their minds to have mint aud
