A Word about Labor.
Country Visitor. |

The labor question is, just now,
the all absorbing one in the city and
country. The negro, for certain
we'll known causes, has become to-
tally unreliable and the emigration
fever is spreading among them like
wild fire. Under the tutelage of
INSCRIPTIONS men, they strike
whe ever their labor is most needed
and compliance with one demand
leads to frequent and more extor-
tionate ones.
tits but a question Of time when
the While laborer will supersede the
black man, in all our industrial oc-
equations. For any and every
kind of labor the Caucasion is infn-
itely superior to the African. Brute
force, yen in the ''hewer Of wood
and drawer of water,' is not all
that makes man valuable. There
is a right way and a wrong way to
do everything, and the negro, from
natural perversity, usually adopts
the wrong way.
There must be q radical change
in the mode of treatment Of our la
borers, before we can induce white
men to take service with us. Cab
ms must be replaced by cottages.
The ration of corn meal and bacon
may be diminished, but other nu-
tritious food must be added to the
daily bill of fare. The ''plantation
manners" of ante bellum times must
give place to dignified courtesy.
Our managers and overseers must
set down from their "high horses
and lay aside their dictatorial airs.
In a word the laborer must be treat
ed like q man-not abused like a
mule!
