attention to what we have. to say In our
own behalf. There has been such

Mead for our own rights before a people
whose hearts are steeled in prejudice
against us, the task is before US, and
however great the difficulties to be sur
mounted, it is not the part of brave
people to shrink from duty because that
duty is difficult to perform. The
first difficulty to remove from
our pathway is to get rid of whatever
of ignorance may exist in our midst as
to our American system of government
and our rights as individuals and as
community under that government.
This is a branch of public education
that has been too much neglected in the
past, and our literary societies and i'm
provement associations have need TO
incorporate within their exercises
features that shall encourage the study
of civil government, and politics, using
the latter word in its best and broadcast
sense. During the long winter evenings
our farmers sons want to devote a
large share OF their time to an in
vestigadon OF these subjects, that
they may act intelligently as free
American citizens upon the issues of
loctl Importance, and with a view Of
acting in the same manner upon
national issues in which they will yet
have voice and exert an influence.
And while we would urge upon all to
give prominent place in their private
studies and readings to the subjects to
which we refer, let not the persuit of
general information upon all topics of
interest and value be neglected; neither
let the moral, social, aud spiritual
natures be sighted. but rightly divide
our time and exertions to the consid-
Grafton of each.

IL HERALD SUNDAY OCTOBER

a WRITER in the Age of Steel says that
the import and export trade in the
south, since 1885, has increased very
rapidly. Baltimore gains nearly
81 100000; New Orleans, 5000 coo ;
Charleston, 50, GOO, 600; Savannah. 50 200.
600: Galveston, $1,1OO ,OOO; while Phila
delphia loses So 100000 and New York
SIS. 600 OOO." This writer quotes his
statements from the official record for
August. If this increase in the indus
trial and commercial interests of the
south shall continue we shall have, in
deed, new south, not in word only
but IN fact.

THE CENTURY's RISE OF WAGES

Discussing wages, in one of his lee
tnres before the students OF Harvard
University, Professor Thompson gives
many facts of curious interests. In
1893 the Schuylkill and Susqueharna
Canal Company advertised for work
men Offering S. a month for the winter
months and So for summer, with board
and lodging. The next year there was q
debate in the House of Representative S
which brought out the facts that sol
d'ers got but So a month. A Vermont
member discussing the proposal to raise
it to ST, said that IN his State men were
hired for Els a year, or 81 a month,
with board and clothing. Mr.. Wads-
worth, of Pennsylvania, said: In the
the States north of Pennsylvania the
wages of the common laborer are not,
upon the whole, superior to those of the
common soldier" In 1877 a Rhode
Island farmer hired a g Cd farm han0
at So month, and IS a'mOnth was pa q
to those who got employment for the
eight busy months of the farmers year.
A strong boy could be had at that time
In Connecticut at 81 a month through
those months, and he earned it by
working from daYbreak until or 9
o'clock at night. He could buy a coarse
cotton shirt with the earnings of three
such months. The farmers could pay
no better, for the price'they got for pro-
duce was wretched. Butter sold at 8
cents pound, and when it rose sud-
denly to 10 cents, several farmers wives
and daughters went out of their minds
with excitement. Women picked the
wool off the bushes and briers, where
the sheep had left it, and spun and knit
it into mittens to earn 81 a year by this
toilsOme business. They hired out as
help for % cents q month and their
board. By a days hard work al the
spinning wheel a woman and girl to-
gether could earn II cents. As late as
1921 the best farm hands could be had
for % cents day, or twice as much in
moving time. Mathew Carey, in his
letters on the charities of Philadelphia
(lS29), gives a painful picture of the
working classes at that time. Every
avenue to employment was choked
with applicants. Men left the cities to
find work on the canals at from 80 to
rs cents a day, and to encounter the
malaria. which laid them low in num-
bers. The highest wages paid to wo-
men were Is cents day, and even the
women who made clothes for the ar
senal were paid by the government at
no high rates. When the Ia les of
of the city begged for an improvement
of this rate, the Secretary hesitated,
lest it should disarrange the relations
of capital and labor throughout the
C ty. Poor people died of cold and
want every winter in the city, and the
fact seems to have made an impress
sion only on benevolently-d disposed
persons like Mr.. Carey. -Scieatifc

However much one may feel disposed
to long for the "good old days now
gone" no enc will be willing to go
back to those starvation wages and long
hours.

Four YEARS ago the Liberal candidate
for Delegate to Congress received 1854
votes against nearly five times that
number for the Peoples nominee. Two
years ago the Liberal candidate got
2, 215 vo es, while the Peoples had very
nearly ten times as many. If this
thing is going to continue next Tuesday
Col. Ferry will lack just Asa of having

never get through counting those for

so with Col. Ferry. He realized at
once that it would not do to have the
great gift of the convention wear an ap-
pearance of going begging. ana that if
he didn't accept it. no one else would.

But we wish to say few words to
those who have reached a certain age
when parents exercise no direct or
positive control over their sctions-to
the young men of the community.
How will you spend the long evenings
of winter2 1t is q sad admission,
but it is nevertheless true, that the
young men of Utah, as a rule, are not
given to reading, study or hard thinking.
Yet no community of young men have
better opportunities or more time to
devote to these exercises than the
young men of Utah. 1t is true. that
during the summer months, when the
body is worn out with toll, the mind is
in poor condition to make much of
an effort at intellectual exertion; but
here are the long winters, when labor
is light, scarcely amounting to more
than is necessary for exercise. Here
are our long autumn and winter even
ings, which may be devoted to intel
lectual development and social and
moral culture. By persistent industry
in reading and research during single
winter, how many subjects may be
mastered! How many truths absorbed
and made our oHnl how much ignor-
ance and superstition may be
driven from the mind! For
it must be remembered that
the requirement of knowledge not only
increases ones information, but it drives
away ignorance. 1t operates in the
same manner that the minister told his
congregation the gospel did. He said
by obeHing the gospel, hi3 hearers
would not only gain heaven, bus they
would escape the pains of hell. and thus
be twice blessed. o. all communities
of young men, the young men of Utah
can least afford to neglect the improve
ment of every opportunity their cir
cumstsnces present to them. Utah 10
day is oppressed; denied many rigl Is
pertaining to the managem ent of he
own affairs, which are inherant in every
community having distinct local int sr-
ests and customs which effect none but
themselves. The birthright of Utah
sta'ehood-is withheld from her,
and it is the duty of her
sons to agitate intelligently and boldly
the question of her rights, until they
be acknowledged and granted. But
this work cannot be done by men unac-
quainted with what their rights really
are, nor by men ignorant Of the Ameri-
can system of government, and unin
formed as to the circumstances under
which it was brought into being, and
the forces which operated to produce it.
A thorough knowledge of all these
things is essential to a successful
struggle for our rights under the spirit
and meaning OF the Constitution of our
country. Our opponents may consider
the task we set before the youth of
our Territory, mainly that of securing
for Utah the full enjoyment OF all her
pol;ucat rights, Is hercIIean. 81 II Is,

WINTER OCCUPATION.

The farmers busy months have
passed. The long days of summer
have been cut down. and the nights
are long. The seasons crop has been
harvested. The plump, well-matured
yellow grain, more precious than gold,
has been gathered into granaries that
are strained to hold 1t. The barns ere
filed with hay, aud in the barn-yards
are stacks of straw and lucern that the
barn could not hold. The seasons
work is nearly over. There may be a
week or two Of fall blowing aud seeding
to do, and there will be the young stock,
both horses and horned cattle, to bring
in from tie range where they were
sent for the summer, that they
may be cared for during the winter
months. The sheep may have to be
moved from the summer Iange to one
known to be safe for them through the
long period of frosts and SHOWS and
fierce winds. There will be a few hogs
to kill, now and then a load or two of
grain or hay to be marketed, a little
manure to haul in the pleasant days,
fences to repair, and the stock to feed.
But for several months there will be no
period of excessive physical toll; no
tired, aching limbs to tos. about through
sultry nights in a vain effort to be-
come thoroughly rested. as is the
farmers lot during the summer months.
On the contrary, he may look forward
to a season of comparative rest;
to long evenings spent in the
society OF his wife and children, and his
friends and neighbors-in fact, a period
n which

who have their own freside
