There is, perhaps, no better evidence q the
advantages of labor-saving machinery than
the cotton gin. People who see and use this
machine often fail to appreciate Its benefits.
Before the discovery OF the cotton gin.t the seeds
OF the cotton were separated from the fibre
by hand. This was slow and arduous TASK,
four pounds OF fibre being the most that coulo
be 30 separated in one days work by strong
and Industrious hand; whereas cotton gin
will easily separate four thousand pounds
day. Under the old system last years CROP
would have required sos 00O0 900 days work foi
"ginning," or three million hands an entire
year. and would have cost $500, OOO,0 GOO, more
than twice the entire value of the entire crop
By the use Of 1900 cotton gins, however, all
this work was done In few months, and al
the small cost OF 100000.

Paul Boytons object In drifting down the
rivers of the country has recently manifested
itself In d bill In Congress, which makes II
obligatory on all steam and sailing vessels
to supply themselves with q given number OF
his India rubber overalls The number Tor
each sailing vessel varies according to ton
mage, from one to five, while for steamers the
maximum ID seven. or course the adoption
Of this measure is based on high grounds Of
humanity, as such measures always are. But
why should a limited number OF these suits
be required to be on hand Ii there Is any
lust reason for requiring vessels to be pro-
yided with them, the number should be regu-
lated by the number Of souls aboard rather
than the tonnage Of the vessel. Why one or
seven persons shall be provided for out Of the
entire crew and passengers Is not made to
appear.
We suspect that the only practical and per-
fetly well-defined purpose Of the bill is to 81
cure q good thing for Boyton, and that, on
LTD merits, 1t Will be sat down upon promptly
theoretically, unanimously.

MODERN MACHINERY FOR SUGAR.

"A few days ago there arrived In this city,
en- route for Louisiana sugar plantation, a
fine vacuum pan, swith mixer and centrif-
ugals, from New York. This whole apparatus
cost over $4,000.
There Is nothing extraordinary about the
arrival of vacuum boiling apparatus and
finishing machinery, ia this State, from the
North, as 1t but follows the precedent Of a few
million dollars worth Of sugar machinery re-
ceived here from the same section. But what
attaches special interest to this case Is that
the apparatus in question was manufactured
In leading New York foundry to be used in
one Of the largest sugar reineries Of that city,
and that it was thought by the proprietor,
who Is also interested in planting In this
State that 1t could be more advantageously
placed on q Louisiana plantation. The infer
ence to be deduced from this case Is, that it is
better to complete the finished manufacturing
process for sugar here in Louisiana, where
the cane Is cultivated and harvested, than
to work over the same, or like crude
material a Thousand miles away from the
sugar regions.
We think that when it is possible, where the
cane Is converted into sugar at all In this
country, it should be made into the higher
grades. This of course does not apply to
West India or South American sugars, as 1t Is
there an object to make lower grades to meet
the comparatively lower tariffs on these grades
in the United States market. 1t is best for the
Louisiana planters to manufacture their prod
ucts I'D to like standard with the finished
product Of the New York refners. Both

varsity 81 interest 10 seek tie adoption Of dif-

varsity Of interest to seek the adoption Of DIFF
ferent measures.
AS the case is, about four ffths Of the Lou
isiana crop has, up to date, been manu-
featured by the primitive mode OF open
boiling into kettle sugars, whose average
price Is at least two cents per pound lower
| than the clarified grad es boiled In vacuuo
| and dried In centrifugal machines.
| There are or were last year, about eighty
complete vacuum pan and centrifugal sugar
houses In Louisiana. It is estimated that
these manufactures with improved machinery
! made one-ffth Of the crop, or nearly fifty mil
lion pounds Of sugar. Over eight hundred
open kettle sugar-houses contributed two
hundred million pounds. One-fifth Of the crop
sold for an average price Of two cents pound
more than the four ffths; or on the sale Of
two hundred million pounds Of sugar, four
million dollars might have been saved to the
planters Of this State, by the general use OF
improved machinery.
1t L. tolerably well established fact that
the little profit reaped from sugar planting
operations last year was returned from the
places supplied with improved machinery,
while it must be confessed that the prospect
for those who are compelled to continue the
old process Of manufacture IL not fairer than
1t was last year.
1t is true that a resort to the improved ma
chinery. where 1t is possible for planters to
secure 1t, is attended with great apparent ex-
pense and it Is also true that, with q good
crop to handle, the cost Of this machinery is
paid for by the increase In the quality and
quantity OF the yield and In the consequent
higher price OF the product, In a single year.
We propose at an early day to publish the
cost OF every part OF the complete machinery
necessary to the manufacture Of the higher
grades Of sugar, with the experience Of few
planters who have abandoned the old kettle
process, and erected vacuum pans and centrif-
ugals .
We also hope to prove that this machinery
can be manufacted as cheaply In New Or
leans AZ In New York or anywhere at the
North.

The we'll known political economist. Charles
Carleton Coffin, has an interesting article IN
the Atlantic Monthly on labor and natural
forces. which would serve to put an end to
the cry SO often heard about "hard times.
Such crises as the present, Mr.. Coffin
thinks, are likely to occur at different periods
In the worlds history; they do not Indicate
any tendency or disposition to go backward.
Indeed. the civilized world always moves
steadily forward, and these eras OF depression
only serve to prevent 1t moving on too rapid
". The history OF the past forty years shows
this During that period the commerce 81
Great Britain, France and the United States
has increased to six times its former proper
tions. and the public wealth even more
ranldly. an increase out Of all proportion
with the increase Of population OF these
countries.
Most Of this "hard times" of which people
are complaining so bitterly to-day is imagi-
nary and due altogether to d comparison with
that short period In the worlds history be-
tween 1860 and 1870, when the prices Of labor
were unduly inflated. The workingman who
complains bitterly OF the hard times to-day
and the difficulty Of supporting family on
his present wages would be astonished be-
vond measure and wake UP to the advantages
of his present condition were he carried back
to the life his fathers lived in 1880. Then from
twelve to fifteen hours work day was neces-
sary not only on his own part, but that OF his
daughters and every member OF the FAMILY to
gain support. The women can afford 20 be
Idle to-day, they could not then. In those
DAYS there were no carpets, coal there was
none, gas or oil there was none, pictures for
the wall and books for the table were un-
known. The household furniture OF the work
ingman of that day was few chairs a table
and q bed made by the village carpenter, ana
his kitchen utensils a buck handled knife, an
iron pot, q tea-kettle, skillet and frying pan.
III brought back to this CONDITIONAL work,
no leisure-would not the workingmen have
reason to complaint
After careful study of the facts and fig
ures, Mr.. Coffin comes to the conclusion
that the workipgman to-day has no reason
to complain, and he lays down the following
facts as clearly demonstrated by statistics:
/. That the havings of to-day are greater
than In the past.
g. That the earnings Of the present are
greater Lnau III lcoo, WHile tne coSeS VI dL II
cles that enter into living have not advanced
in proportion to our earnings.
8. That the mass OF the people are better
fed, clothed, housed, and in possession Of
more Of the comforts of life than at any other
period.

mand higher degree Of intelligence, requir-
ing higher education
