why emigrants don't come south, you say;
But thsre is one thing the south wants
more than emigrants, and that is willing
ness on the part of the old and young men of
the south to take hold Of the plow handle
themselves, and not be always looking for
some one to help them. When the south
takes hold of work like the north they will
rot be 50 anxious to sell the plantations for u
song. or care whether emigrants come or
not.
In this | think you d. j. w. Stack, and Il
very large majority of the south Injustice.
He does not care whether any one comes or
not, but no is good hearted fellow, and
when he reads thai many poor people up
north are suffering for food, he is sonous
that they come and get Homestead where
plenty to eat Gao DO got by oil who will
work. There are great many more who
will work than you people up north believe.
The white people make at least three-four!hs
Of the cotton.
What the viii, peopls of the south need
is a little more sense. They ought to quit
raising cotton and raise what they want to
eat. and then eat it, and not toll twelve months
to make cotton to buy the meat and bread
which they themselves can produce. Tue
farmers of the south have, for the last fifteen
years, made cotton to purchase all tina. they
use until it has brought Thorn TO the verge Of
ruin. While ithss enriched themerchsnt and
those who live in cities, it has made them
poor indeed.
