GOING BACK TO SLAVERY.
The Russian Gar Preparing To
Rc-Itstablisi the System
of SerttIom.

PARIS, Feb. 5.-According
TO advices from St. Peters
burg. the car intends TO in
itiate measures for the rcsto-
ration of serfdom among the
peasants. Reports from many
district officials have concurr-
ed in the statement that the
increase of population in the
villages is SO great that land
belonging to the Mrs or
local communcs is insufficient
to support all members. The
government with the view of
remedying the evil, proposes
to allocate to the peasants
vast tracts of land under con
siderations similar to those of
serf tenure. One third of the
harvest is 10 be stored in the
communal magazines for the
support of the peasants, one
third is to be sold by the gov
eminent for the payment of
local debts to the state, one
third is to be retained for the
payment of government taxes.
The peasants will not be
allowed to move from their
communes. but will be bound
to the soil. and will be obliged
TO fulfill their contracts with
the state. The system will be
first applied in the provinces
of Samara and Saratoff. and if
successful will be extended all
over tue empire.
