CHINESE HEAPLABOR.


 Chinese cheap labor in this country is largely myth for the willy yellow men man. age to get usually quite as good wages for their work as anybody else, but in China it is very real thing. The United States Con- sul- General at Shanghai has been making special investigation into the cost of labor and the condition of laboring men in China, and his discoveries are interesting and in structive.
 The average pay of skilled workmen in China is $3 week for master, $1.5o for workman and 50 cents for youngsters or fe- males" The master lives generally at his workshop, having $2o to $30 worth of house hold goods he pays SIP year for food, $36 for rent and sundries, SIP for clothing, and is rich with $36 left. The ordinary work man, If unmarried, lives with his parents or with some friend. His effects may be worth $l5, and he pays $45, SIP and $S for the three items above mentioned. Females and youngsters are assumed to cost all they can earn. On the farm everybody must work, the children beginning at years Two and built of mud and reeds and matched with straw, and COW, few fowls and pigs, and some very primitive tools, may constitute well-to-do farmers property. The soil will usually support the family, and 20 cents 8 day will pay for their food. Rice or bread, with vegetables and common tea, varied by little poultry or pork on festive occasions, makes their diet. Their bit of land may be worth $4oo, their ho they will produce about $16O, leaving about $50 clear. In cotton, the land will average 1,600 pounds at cents; cost of cultivation and tax $31, net yield $33, if the soil suits cotton. woman weaves one piece per day of cotton cloth, 6 to 9 yards, 39 to 46 inches wide; she spins one-third of pound of yarn at cents for labor; 6 working days convert the raw fibre into H pounds of cloth, worth 60 cents. The farm laborer gets from 10 to 15 cents day, or 70 cents to $1.o5 a week, in harvest time, besides his food, estimated at 10 cents day; by the month, $1.5O to $2, and board; by the yeaf, SIP, sand found" About $2 @ year will clothe him, and he does well if he saves twice that in a year. For coolie labor, comprising boatmen, carriers, wheelbarrow- men. &c., from to 30 cents a day are paid; the carriers in West China, who carry for 20 consecutive days 300 to 400 pounds of tea on their backs over a mountainous country, considered well paid at 25 cents day. The ordinary coole earns $4. 50 month and spends $4.
 Those who feel inclined to complain of their condition in this country can learn lesson from the condition of the Chinese la- borers. No wonder the latter are Hooking to Australia, the Sandwich Islands and other places where fair wages are paid them. A dollar day must seem like fortune to them.

described and deplofed. It's article is en-

described and deplored. It's article is en- titled 'Our Brothers in Black" and con- cludes with the following language: 'trWhen we have blamed the colored people, it has been for some wrong that they have done, and we have always endeavored to treat them as the victims of the necessities of their leaders, more sinned against than sim ming. This is the temper of the white peo- pie of the State. They will not permit the colored people to rule the State, but they spare no pains to bring the colored people on, to improve their condition and to make them intelligent and responsible citizens. Had the whites had the temper that some of the speakers on Monday described, the colored population of South Carolina would not be as large as it is to-day. From slaves the col ored people were converted, by the dash of pen, into freedmen, and the franchise after ward conferred upon them made them the political masters of those whose slaves they had been. By the men whom the freedmen chose and elected the State was be-deviled and plundered for six or eight years. The patience of the whites under all this was superhuman Instead of being surprised thatthere should have been occasional out breaks, we should be surprised that there. was not war, in which the negroes would have gone to the wall in short order. But the whites like the oolored people, and are sincerely attached to them. They are more indulgent and considerate than Northerners, without past associations and memories. would dream of being. The trouble, and the ,J,-k 1a 1 haa ha oo1nrod roa0nIA themselves. They do not trust the whites in politics. Until they do trust them or some of them, there will not be true harmony in the South" This is fine talk and worthy of newspaper which denounces bulldozing, tissue ballots, etc., when there is no election pending, and when there is declares that it must be carried at any cost by the white Democrats The negroes have not much reason to trust the southern whites in poi- tics, especially the whites who give them ad- vice in the Nears

 The True Tale of William Tell: William Tell ran a hay-ranch near Bergslen about 5SO years ago. Tell had lived in the noun tains all his life and shot chamois and chip hunks with 8 cross-gun till he was bad man to stir up At that time Switzerland was run principally by lot of carpet bag gers from Austria, and Tell got down on them about the year 13O7 It seems that Tell wanted the government contract to furnish hay at $45 ton for the year 1906, and GessIer, who was controlling the patronage of Switzerland let the contract to an Aus trian who had big lot of condemned hay further up the gulch. One day Gsssler put his hat up on 8 telegraph pole, and issued order 236, regular series, to the ehect that every snoozer who passed down the toll road should bow to it. .Gessler happened to be be- hind the bush when Tell went by, and he notic- ed that Bill said ''Shoot the hat" and didn't salute it, so he told his men to gather Mir Tell in and put him in the refrigerator. Cess Ter told him that if he would shoot a crab apple from the head of his only son at two give him his liberty. Tell consented, and knocked the apple higher than Gilroy's kite Old Gessler, however, noticed another ar row sticking in Williams girdle, and asked him what kind of fowery break that was. Teh told hin that if he had killed the kid in stead of busting the apple, he intended to drill a hole through the stomach of MT Gessler. This made Gessler mad again, and he took Tell on picnic up the river in irons Tell jumped of when he got good chance, and cut across a bend in the river, and when the picnic party came down he shot Gessler deader than a mackerel.-L0ramie City BOomeraaeg.
