THE POTATO.
When 1t Was Introduced Into Europe "A
Native of Chill.

The planting of potato by Clausius
in 1888 in the Botanical gardens at
Vienna is named as the introduction
of the potato into Europe, says the
Youths Companion. But there is good
reason to believe that it was introduced
into England and Spain few years
earlier, and from Spain into Italy and
Belgium. 1t has been said too that
Columbus was the first European
who ever tasted potato. What he
tasted at Cuba in 1892 and brought
home to Genoa, was the sweet potato.
The potato is a native of Chilli. 1t
had been brought from South America
by the Spaniards when Sir Walter
Releigh found it in Virginia and took
specimens of it to England.
During the seventeenth century it
was quite a rarity in England. A
committee of the Royal society urged
in 1862 that all the fellows who
possessed land should plant potatoes
and persuade their friends to do the
same, in order to alleviate the distress
that would accompany a scarcity oi
food"
Before this a prejudice had existed
against it as being poisonous and un'
wholesome, probably because the
proper method of cooking it had not
become generally known, and it had
even been eaten raw. In 1888 the first
field of ofpotatoes was planted in the lew
lands of Scotland. Its cultivation in
India, Bengal, the Dutch East Indies
China, and Australia is of compare
lively recent date.
1t is not only as food plant thai
the potato is of value. Starch is made
from it for the laundry, and for th'
manufacture of farina. The dried pull
from which the starch has been ex
tracted is used for making boxes
From the stem and leaves narcotic i
extracted. In some places cakes an(
puddings are made from potato flour.
The potato disease, which has beel
the cause of famines in Ireland, is
species of fungus which first attack
and discolors the stalks then spread
to the tubers, increasing the quantit
of water in them, reducing the quaint
ty of starch, and so altering the othe
substances as to render the potato ur
fit for foed.

LAST Friday thousands of laborers

was united action for an eight hour
day, and demonstrated the earnest de-
mand of workingmen for the inaugu-
ration of this industrial change. What
ever the grievances of the men, whether
real or imagined, the fact of their
thorough organization is apparent, and
it is useless for employers to attempt
to ignore their power or affect an in
difference to their demands. In places
where ignorant foreign labor has dis
placed that OF intelligent Americans,
the employers are simply resping the
legitimate fruits of their action in Civ
ing preference to cattle over men, and
no one will waste any sympathy over
their case. They are deserving all and
more than the censure they receive,
and il the uprising of the gangs OF for

simple justice. But where intelligent
Americans calmly and dispassionately
demand that their working hours be
reduced from ten to eight, their power
is felt in every circle and all the world
stops to give them audience. This is
question that evidently must be met
and decided, and the only way to de.
termine its merits is to lay aside all
prejudice and arbitrary unreasonable.
ness. and exercising mutual tolerance
to discuss it in detail in friendly arbi-
tration. Men must disabuse their
minds of the conceit that all the equity
and justice of a controversy are with
their side of the case, and must broaden
their comprehensioRs sufficiently to
drop their preconceived notions of
their own infallibility, when meeting
together for the adjustment of griev-
ances. A dispute is never settled un.
less settled right, and the only right
way to settle difference is to observe
the primary principles of justice in
disposing of the various points raised.
A blind, unreasonable strike is as eff
cacious to secure the demands of its
participants as the systematic grind
ing" of unfeeling employers in attain
ing their ends. Both are unjustifiable
and entirely wrong and always re-
dound to the injury OF those practicing
such methods. Their supposed effica,

encouraging to read OF the frequent
resorts to arbitration and is hopeful
sign of the times.
