St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1879-07-26

the morts gees would b pail when
they matured. But the fall in prices
came, and in 1878 wheat was sold
in the golden belt of Kansas for
fifty cents per bnshel; and this
wheat had to be hauled from five to
fifty miles in wagons to get to rail
roads. Hogs were worth but two
cents per pound; cattle from two to
three cents per pound. Every far
mer who sold hogs ut two or two
and q half cents per pound lost
money. Corn worth TWENTY-FIVE
cents per bushel can not be protita-
bly, fed to hogs worth two cents per
pound. The same is true of cattle.
Taxes are not lower; the expensive
machinery used i'll the wheat fields
does not fall IN price; and the out
rageous tariffs Of the railroads that
were built by the Government AND
given To the Kansas Pacific and
Union Pacific Companies are as
high as III the flush times
The mortgages that We're placed
on the rocky upi,lnds and sandy
wastes Of the West are to-day viz
tually lost. The Eastern capital is
represented by a partially cultivated
farm of lean, reproductive soil,
"duSout," or u cheap shaniy. The
mortgager is trying to pay the in
terest on the mortgage and the
taxes, but he rarely succeeds. BY
dint of working long hours. starv-
ing his family, going poorly and
colby clad, by great economy, in
fact he is barely able to make up
the interest money. Many of the
owners of these Kansas farms We're
unable to buy the seeds necessary to
plant g'lrdens this last spring, SO as
to have healthy variety of food for
their growing families. 1t is Il COM
mon thing all over Kansas to see
children barefoot in the winter, and
clad i'll thin cotton clothes. The
interest money of the mortgages eat
up the surplus Of the farm that
should be expended for food and
warm clothing. The farmers on
the rich creek and river bottom
lands will eventually work out of
their difficulties, if the seasons are
favorable. 1t is into this poverty
stricken land. where all men are
anxious for the future, where ma
jurity of the farmers are dissatisfied
with their condition, where the
question of seed wheat for the COM
ing fall and bread for the coming
winter looms up darkly before us,
that it is proposed to colonize thou
sands of the black field hands of the !
to dump them into Kansas,
without money or food, and trust to /
our generosity to feed them, OF,
may be, trust in God 10 feed them. !
But We of Kansas find that the GOD
of Kansas feeds no one. And GER
t,llnly, if the blacks trust to Gods |
feeding them, they will go very |
hungry.
At present the labor employed on !
the farms of Kansas is almost en- {
tirely American-young men who !
are striving to earn and save enough
money to open farms of their own. .
These mel are nearly all Republi- .
Calls. Their labor is rs reliable as
any in tue United States. They are
to hard living, and
endure the poor food OF

These laborers own lands under

labor with that from the cotton
