FREE LABOR IN THE SOUTH.

1t Has Proved More Beneficial than the
Slave System Could Ever Do.
Prior to the civil war the South
based it's prosperity on cotton and to-
baccO and thought that with cheap
slave labor it could become the mas
tiers of the markets of the world.
The South was merely to grow these
commodities; it's neighbors, foreign
and domestic, were to manufacture
them. The war came and freed the
slave, and history records that free
labor has more benefited the South
than the slave system could ever do.
The cloth, no less than the fiber, is a
source Of Southern prosperity and the
probabilities are that in few years
cotton and tobacco will not be the
chief sources of Southern wealth.
Between 1852 and 1859 inclusive
the average cotton yield of the South
was a little over 5000, 900 bales, ex-
cept in 1855, when it was UNDER or
1882, 900 bales. In 1860 the number
of bales had risen to 1923, ITO, Or
more than three-qualt ers of a million
in excess of any crop ever before
raised in single year. There were
rumors of coming struggle with
the North that season, and they in
educed extraordinary planting. For a
few years after the close of the war
the general poverty of the people and
I the undetermined relations of the
whites and blacks caused a reduction
of the cotton crop, but in 1875 the
yield was over 1900, 900 bales, and in
1880 it was over 100000. Eight
years later there were over 1000, 600
bales gathered. In 1S89-90 the yield
was 1921, III bales, averaging 498.14
pounds per bale, against crop in
lSSS-S9 of 6, 939, 284, averaging 497. 06
per bale. The increased growth of
tobacco in the South is SHOWN in the
comparative returns of the crops Of
1879 and 1883. In the former year
Florida raised q, 1872 pounds; in the
latter, 48S,O75. In 1879 the crop of
Kentucky was III, 12c,7s4; in 1889,
225, 4O3, 047. The increase in North
Carolina in ten years was 100000
pounds, and only in Alabama, Vir-
ginia and Maryland was there a de-
crease of production during the same
period. In these three States other
and more profitable industries di-
yerted capital from the raising Of to-
bacco, and they are all infinitely more
prosperous now than they were ten
years ago, their industries being more
diversified.

SIGNS OF EUROPEAN DECAD-
ENCE.
The Economical and Political Prospects
of the Old and New Worlds.

The Economical and Political Prospects
of the Old and New Worlds.
In recent number of a Paris Pc
riodical an American contributor con-
trasts the economical and political
prospects Of Europe with those of the
United States. He starts with the
assumption that the best way to de-
tion and possibilities of progress is
to compare it's annual outlay for the
education Of the mass of it's inhab-
itants with the other expenditures
provided for in it's budget, and es-
pecially with the sums disbursed with
a view to war. Beginning with Ger
many, we find that to schools lex
elusive of universities, which are to
a large extent maintained by private
endowments and fees) only about
$40. 900, 900 are devoted by the state.
Against this insignificant outlay we
are to set nearly 1885,, 100000 annu-
ally disbursed for military and naval
purposes. In the dual monarchy Of
Austria Hungary the army and navy
COSU pof,C JCdl3 Willy oll1J
$6, $50, 600 are allotted to education.
In Italy the situation is more deplor-
able, for the subjects of King Hum
bert have to pay almost 800, 100000
yearly for the protection Of their
country, and can only afford to spend
"a, 900. 600 on the system of public in
struction, exclusive of the UNIVERSE
ties. France is doing more for the
next generation, although the sum
annually allotted to the public schools
S2l 900, 900 in round numbers) is very
far from being adequate, and con-
trasts strangely with the 1851, 100000
called for by the military and naval
estimates. Russia assigns to educa-
tional appliances nearly ST., 900, 900 a
year, or more than four times as much
as Italy, though she spends yearly for
her army and navy 5000, 1000, 900.
Even in England the disproportion is
striking, for the army and navy cost
S156, 900, 900 a year, while less than
$24, 100000 are laid out for public
ducation-exclusive of the UNIVERSE
ties, most of which have funds of

hibit is made by Spain, where the
army and navy cost upward Of $780,
900, 900 a year, whereas the govern
ment can only spare s1,500,0O0 for
the liberal and technical education of
the citizen.
Compared with the suspicious pros
poets of the American republic, the
position of Europe may be likened to
that of somnambulist, who, uncon-
scious of his danger, is walking on
the steep roof of house. Appalling
will be his awakening, for it will be
impossible to avoid plunging into the
abyss of war upon the one side, or
the unfathomable gulf of the social
revolution uDOn the other.

A SHARP VALET.
Ran the Risk Of Being Called Thief to
Save His Masters Money.

Ran the RISK OF Being called Ih1ef TO
Save His Masters Money.
Many amusing stories are told about
Monte Carlo, but the majority are
such old-timers that it is hardly safe
to repeat them. One, however, has
only been told me once this winter, SO
it may be new, writes a correspondent
from the famous gambling resort. 1t
trian nObleman came here last winter
accompanied by his valet. He hur-
ried to the Casino directly from the
train, taking with him 5000 francs,
all the money he had in the world.
He played for high stakes, and from
the first luck ran in his favor. When
the place closed he carried to his
room $4,000 francs in winnings. 1t
would have been a small sum to a
rich man, but it was a fortunesto him.
He was so nervous and SO afraid Of
being robbed that he asked his valet,
who was an old and trusted family
servant, to occupy the same room
with him that night, told him ex-
actly how much money he had made,
and even counted it over in his pres
ence, SO that his valet might be able
to swear to the amount, and then
showed him where he put it. When
he rose in the morning he found that
his valet was already up and gone, and
with him had gone the $4,000 francs
he had won and the 5000 francs of
his original capital. Olly small
sum was left-enough to enable him
to pay his hotel bill and expenses
home. AS soon as he was dressed the
young nobleman rushed half-distracted
to the bureau of the local police and
sent out a general alarm, but up to
nightfall nothing was heard of the
fugitive, and it was the opinion of
the authorities that he had got away.
The next morning the nobleman de-
termined to return home and prose-
cute his inquiries there. AS he
stepped aboard the train dispatch
was handed to him. He opened it
mechanically and read: "Your valet
here with 5000 francs he says be-
longs to you" It transpired after
ward that the valet had lain awake
half the night thinking over his young
masters success. He felt certain that
on the morrow the young man would
attempt to increase his winnings, and
that he would lose all as the other
players did. He therefore determined
to run the risk of being taken for
thief, got up and dressed himself,
took the money and left by an early
train. turning over the money on his
arrival to the young mans father.

such as is as Dwight. Each fellow
knows what every other fellow is there
for, and there is more of the real charity
to be picked up during a stay at Dwight
than at any other place on earth. One
can get closer to men there than any
where else, and there are broader views,
more sympathy and more display of true
feeling than among any other body of
men on earth. Brotherly love governs
every action. Sympathy prevails in ev-
cry speech. Kindness is a duty that
seems to come easier and more natural
than it ever did and friendships and &C
quaintanceships are looked at as a matter
of course. There is no mock modesty,
There is no attempt to conceal facts.
Nobody wants to convey wrong impress
sion. And there are no slurs cast, no
insults offered, no aspersions made and
no sarcasms INDUCED in. Rich and poor
are on the same footing. The common
enemy makes all men equal. There are
no high, no low, no aristocl at, no plebeian.
The laborer goes into line with the bank
.er the judge with the lawyer, and the
doctor with them all. All are on the
same level, and the same needle enters
all arms. Millonaires sympathize with
poor men, and all creeds and dogmas and
beliefs and superstitions are thrown
aside, It is one common brotherhood Of
man. All are enthusiastic and willing
along, and afraid that the best they can
do will not help worn and weary brother

unadnterated liquor, he's sure he could

that sort of thing. But it is of no use.
He is given some out of the same barrel
from which came his first bottle. The
first was right. The last tastes badly
and like bad penny returns with some
very unpleasant experiences.

with the Dwight Kelley gold cure. I'm
