OUR SOUTHERN BUDGET.


FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.
SOUTHERN PINES. n. G., June 80, 'S6.
"The cold figures which show what
losses have been inflicted upon the
country by the late labor troubles are
anything but inspiring. Bradstreets
for last week contains summary show
ing the wages sacrificed in the principal
industrial centres since May !, the
amount of injury to current business
and the new business hindered and in
definitely postponed by the uncertainty
growing out of these troubles.
"rhis summary places the direct loss
in wages at $2,SO2, 900, the loss to cur
rent business at 50, lO5 ,00O. and the new
business hindered or postponed at S24,-
100000. Twenty millions of this latter
item is in building contracts, which are
almost certain to be deferred for an
other year, if not longer. Forty per
cent of the loss on these contracts will
be labor's loss.
''If anybody can tell what has been
gained by the laboring men as an offset
to these enormous losses there is a good
opportunity and loud call for them to
speak up. To an ordinary observer it
would seem that what has been labor's
loss has been nobody's gain"
Almost thirty millions of dollars in
less than months time, ard over half
Of it contributed by the laboring men.
Why, that amount of money would
have bought nearly thirty million acres
of good land in the Old North State. As
much more would have started fifty
thousand farms, and have carried fifty
thousand families through the summer
until harvest was gathered.
Wherefore this terrible sacrifice and
loss?
When will the laboring classes see
that they hold the keys to their own
happiness and wealth?
At present the land is for the laboring
man. lie can occupy it, and be his own
lord and master. A combination of la
boring interests will do much towards
making this a prosperous land. But
they cannot afford the luxury of strikes.
The cost of strikes is the price of homes
and home comforts.
A "sTRIKE" BOX.
Let every working man construct a
"strike" box, and place it in a convent
ent place in bis house. When he is
asked to contribute towards maintain
ing lot of idle strikers, let him place
the required amount in his box.
The same course might be adopted in
the assembly halls of the Knights of
Labor and of trades unions.
At the end ofa year apply the "strlke"
money on house rent, new suit of
clothes, a sewing machine, or lay it
aside to add to until the price of new
home in the South is saved.
There is nothing original about this
plan; but would II not pay to adopt the
course adyisedp
NEARLY A MILLIoN DOLLARS.
just think of 1t! Almost a whole mil
lion of dollars wasted in New York city
In few days oyer senseless strike, and
two equally senseless tie-ups of the street
car lines. Not quite a million dollars,
but almost.
This vast amount of money, nearly
every dollar of 1t, came from the poek-
cts Of poor working people.
When people can afford the luxury of
strikes, why don't they inquire of them,
selves whether they cannot afford the
common comforts Of a home

witch bay there is not so much suffering,
although many have died. In Webuck and
Indian harbors, fish is the only food beside
small quantity of cornmeal. They have
no vegetables since March 1, and the peo-
pie are almost without clothing. At Hope
dale not over twenty-five families remain
out OF the entire farmer population. Many
have gone east along the coast in the hope
of getting into better supplied settlements,
while eighty persons, of whom forty were
squaws and thirty-tive children, died from
starvation in June alone. There were
some deaths in April and May, but these
were principally from exposure to the cold.
The Okaha Indians are suffering, but there
were not as many deaths among them as
was first reported, only twelve persons hav-
ing died this spring out of 125 who make up
the tribe. The whole settlement is, how
ever, Oh the verge of starvation. The places
spoken of do not include the whole district
where there is to be found restitution and
death. In the country lying back from
Okaha, Hopedale. Main and Cape Mugford
there are large number of families, most
of them Indians or Esquimaux, among
whom the suffering is really greater than it
is in the more thickly populated settlements.
The deaths here from starvation cannot be
estimated, but it is thought, judging from
the reports now and then brought in, that
the number is very large. In Newfound-
land along the north coast, there is great
restitution. From Cape Bald to Hearts
Content, hundreds are in a dying condi-
ton. In White Bay, alone, forty-two per-
sons died last month and no one knows
how many since. Not less than 500 persons
must have persisted, but the exact figures
can never be known. owing to the isolated
region in which the suffering exists
