principal. Many farmers sell their
cotton seed. That is robbing their
land. l buy cotton seed, for with
acid phosphate and stable manure
it makes the best fertilizer. The
farmer is the one independent man."
81 cannot understand" Mr.. Rood
went on to say, "why young fellow
will stay in the city and clerk at a
small salary, with no future, when a
farmers life is open to him. No
man could have had much worse
start than l did. Now, in spite of
markets, weather or anything else /
can live freeman's life, with health,
open-air exercise, and at the end of
each year put from $500 to $1,000
in bank. This is not chance. 1t is
certainty. And there is nothing in
me except hard work, attention and
little common sense. fifty young
clerks were to go to Stewart County
today and farm just as do, each one
would reach the same result. 1t is no
experiment. 1t is the most certain of
certain things"
And away the young farmer went
with gang Of friends who had called
for him. Why may not he prove to
be type? Why may not there fol-
low in his footsteps race of young
farmers, sturdy and self-reliant, with
smooth brows, clear eyes, and strong
arms? Why may not they come to
the rescue of our section from the
domination of Western smoked house,
and cribs, and win for the South amid
their corn row a fuller and better ex-
perience than their fathers fought for
twenty-five years ago? There is
plenty of land and more to come.
Mr.. Rood started with 1000 acres,
which he has already cut down to
1900. He contracts his arabic land
once every year. Intensive farm
ing" says he, sis the policy of the
future. There is one war cry under
which the South can command the
situation. That is bale to the acre,
or full corn-cribs, a big compost heap
and a home on the farm!" Frankly,
now, hasn't this br0ad-shoulderetl
young farmer, with his steel-like
sinews, his untroubled sleep, come
nearer to solving the problem thar
those of us who, aiming at glitterinl
heights, are fighting and stumbling
along the uneven way?

THE CONDITION OF LABOI

THE CONDITION OF LABOR.
The first annual report OF the
national labor bureau, lately is
sued, gives some interesting infor-
nation on a subject that is now
foremost in the minds OF tho peo-
pie. Tho report estimates the
number of persons out of employ
ment, at this time, at 99S,S39.
Now, if these million people were
at work earning wages they would
be consuming, each, one dollars
worth a day of goods, groceries
and other necessaries of liie-an
aggregate consumption of over
$500, 100000 a year. But the idle
people have no means to become
consumers they earn no wages ;
they are living and that's about
all many of them are hungry and
oil are dissatisfied they have coas-
ed to be substantial and contented
consumers, and in this fact is found
an explanation of the prolonged
depression of trade, accumulatIons
of unsaleabIe stock, and low prices
so loudly complained of.
If these million idle laborer
were put to work next week, earn
ing wages, they would create a
new demand for a million dollars
worth of goods a day, and that de-
mand would break the deadlock in
trade, dissipate the depression and
brighten up the whole business o
the country. 1t is simply impos
sible for the interest Of the coun-
try to be In a prosperous condition
when so large a body of It's produc-
ing citizens have ceased to pro-
duce and consume. It is well
known that when we have what
are known as " flush times" wages
and commodities of all kinds are
high, business Is IN a rush, and
everybody who works has plenty
of money. 1t is evident that until
the present labor troubles are adj
justed we need expect no change
for the better. The report of the
labor bureau intimates that the ex-
listing depression was brought
about by the importation of cheap
foreign labor.

ARBITRATION.

The st. Louis Republican, at all
times a safe and conservative pa
per, has IN the present great strike
leaned very strongly on the side OF
organized labor. 1t in common
with the masses of the people Of
all classes and conditions believes
that the laborer is worthy of his
hire, but latterly 1t is growing tired
OF the continued embargo placed
on business by the prolonged
strike, and it is beginning to think
that organized labor is demanding
too much. 1t seems that q week
or more ago q conference of rail
way managers was held at Cincin-
natl and it was agreed to act in
concert with the western lines in
dealing with labor troubles. Or
ganized labor says arbitration is
the only means of settling disputed
questions in q satisfactory manner,
but it would appear that arbitra-
ton is temporarily failure, or we
would have had no strike. ArbI-
tration now seems TO settle dis
putes only so long as both sides
are satisfied; when one side be-
comes dissatisfied the strike in
stead of arbitration is resorted to.
The number of persons engaged in
strikes two weeks ago, was estI-
mated by Bradstroet's to be $4,000;
most of these are skilled workmen
and their average earnings are
s150,000 a day or nearly Sl,000,-
900 a week. By ceasing work this
amount is lost every week, and the
loss falls not only on the strikers
themselves but on the entire coun-
try, because wealth can only be
produced by labor. The Republic
can says q well defined system of
arbitration is needed. What has
been done heretofore has been
done through temporary make
shifts and eXpedients devised for
individual classes. The great need
is a broad, simple, easily worked
system of arbitration resting on
the warrant of law, possessing off
cial authority and mutually ac-
to the disputant interests.
Surely such system can be devils
ed, and it will be admitted that the
and disasters of the pres
emit condition are enough to show
that the sooner it Is devised the
better. The Massachusetts legis-
I6turs has two bills for a board of
arbitration, and this TACT is full of
encouragement since it shows that
the public mind is looking in the
proper direction for the solvent for
Iabor disputes.
Brenham weekly banner. [volume] (Brenham, Tex.) 1877-1907, 1886-04-01

The arbitration bill introduced
in the house of representatives by
Mr.. Anderson, of Kansas, provides
for a national board of arbitration
that shall have charge of all strikes
or impending strikes. This board
is clothed with the judicial power
TO ascertain all the facts according
to the rules of evidence in other
courts of justice and decide the
cases. If either party feel aggriev-
ed the arbitration each has a right
under the provisions of the bill to
appeal to the United States district
court. The only objection to this,
says the Austin Statesman, is that
it substitutes the jurisdiction Of
matters that may belong exclusive
" to the state courts to the United
States courts. When either party
is a nonresident of the state, then
the appeal might be proper to the
United States courts, as in other
cases of original jurisdiction, but
if both parties are residents of the
state, in order that the jurisdiction
of the state courts might not be in
vaded, the appeal ought TO go to
the state courts and not to tho
United States district court.

THE iSITUAT TON.

Much has been said and written
in condemnation of the recent
strike by the knights of Labor and
their interference with the opera
ton ofthe various industries of the
country, but the following extract
from the st. Louis Globe-Democrat
is a cllnching argument on that
subject, and so thoroughly in ac-
cord with our views upon the same
that we give it position in our
columns;
eff law is supreme in this coun-
try, there should be no obstruction
in the way. If, however, the dictum
of committee Of four men sitting
in Marshall, Texas, is to supplant
the law, and to substitute might
for right, this fact should be known
and proclaimed. Let no man sup
pose that under this aspect of the
case the issue is one between capt.
tai labor; 1t is between lazy and
anarchy. The same power which
has dispossessed the Missouri Paci-
fc Railroad Company of the con-
troll fits property during the past
fev days may similarly dispossess
the manufacturer, the banker, or
the merchant tomorrow. There
is only one sure foundation for all
classes-laborers and capitalists
allke-in civilized society, and that
is the written law of the land.
While the laws are enforced, and
the courts are honest, society is
safe. We have good laws and hon
est courts, and it is the duty of all
citizens to stand by them, as
against the behests of all associa-
tons and organizations whatever,
The law not only guarantees pro-
lection to railroads, but requires
their owners to operate them for
the accommodation of the public.
1t Is not optional, but mandatory,
that the trains shall be run. What
the law says shall be done no asso-
cation or organization has the
right to say shall not be DONE"
