Southern Prosperity.

0OuLneIn fTOSp6rlCy'
A staff correspondent Of The Outlook,
who was detailed to write up "Indus-
trial America" and who has lately been
investigating the condition of the south
ern states, gives the following about
Georgia:
"In the old days, cotton-plsnter was
an srlstocrat. To day be is the worst
clothed, woIst-fed, and orst-housed
farmer IN the country. Compared with
him the northern farmer is on aristocrat
The census Of 1880 established this fact.
It valued the average years product on
Ohio farms at 500 per family; in the
seeding states the average years pro-
duct was valued at only 1910 Since 1880
the condition Of both the Ohio farmer
and the southern farmer has changed
for the worse, but the latter has lost more
than the former. In 1880 cotton was
bringing II cents pound; to day it is
bringing but TX. There has been no in
crease in the product of each acre. The
farmers money income has been cut
down in just this proportion. You have
but to talk little while with one Of
them before you understand why they
are enthusiastic, not only for the free
coinage Of silver, but for unlimited issues
Of paper. In 1873 their cotton brought
16 cents q pound in gold. They have
seen all their property sink in price in
the proportion that cotton has gone
down. To talk with such men about the
unesrned increment in land values
would be to assume the role Of lunatic.
The only uneRrned increment they can
see is the unearned increment in the
weight Of all debts measured in gold.
Not all the politicians in Christendom
could convince them that the gold stand
ard for the measurement Of debts, or
that the refusal to remonetize silver in
the face Of a failing gold supply, was
anything less than national crime.
"Of course many Of the white planters
have incomes much above the average,
through the rentals they receive from
their negro tenants. The division Of the
crop upon the 'one-mule farms in the
cotton district is one-third to the land
lord and two-thirds to the tenant IN case
the tenant furnishes the stock and inn
plements, and half, snd-halE in case the
landlord furnishes them. In either case
the tenant receives the entire product of
the vegetable patch, and Of his poultry
yard, if he keeps one; but as to the crop,
the hslf-and- half division is the usual
one.
81 tried to get at the balance sheet
upon such farms in the fertile cotton
district visited in southern Georgia. AS
nearly as could find it, it stood as fol
lows:
Farm and farm house. .............$ 500 to N,OOO

WHAT Is SOCIALISM,
The Mention Of the Word Causes People
"a 1hnddar

alism; it is the result of evolution and
the manifestation Of the tendency to
social organization.
No society can exist without Co-operR-
tion without some form Of binding tie
between it's members. Now, socialism is
naught but the tendency Of all the social
factors to become social; that is, to be
consolidated in common action necessary
for the unifcatlon, the NATURALIZATION,
Of the social body.
In o word, socialism is OF the social
essence; it is the principle, the law, the
aim of social life; it is, finally, sociability
becoming conscious of itself in superior
societies.
We live at time when it is impossible
to deny that the social idea is 'fn the
air." it penetrRtes everywhere from top
to bottom of society, called forth, sus-
tanned and fortified by the constant
awakening OF social consciousness and
the increasing organization of the social
understanding. History has meyer Of
fered the thinker a like spectacle Of a
social tendency, of human aspirations 50
universal.
There is no longer q question about
the struggle Of an individual or family
for supremacy or power; there are no
longer simple questions Of the rivalry Of
tribes, or casts, or nations; it is no longer
the triu mph Of this or that divinity
which engrosseR morals; we dream no
m ore Of spotheosis or deifcation; no,
men are absorbed in matters not Of the
skies, but Of the earth; humanitarian
dreams no longer suffice to satisfy the
thirst for justice and to calm suffering;
what these must have is immediate
realization in place Uf theories; what
every one wants is to have his share in
the social advantages which he main
tRins and developes by his lRbors, be-
cause he is becoming more and more
conscious of the part he plays in the
social machine.
There is the eliminating point, the in
exhsustible source Of the irresistible
forces Of movement, which draw modern
societies toward a profound modification
Of their condition, under penalty Of an
inevitable upheRval.
The character, the causes, the condi-
tions of this social evolution are as yet
hidden, being ConRounded with one
another by theories and declamations,
the noise Of which makes US dizzy and
blinds us. Personal attacks, errors and
pRradoxes cause in the clesrest heads
uncertainty and hesitation.
Modern society is very nearly in the
same situation as a sick man surrounded
by physicians Of different opinions.
Some, who are called the orthodox econ
omists, wish to leave the care Of our
happiness to the natural play OF inter
ests; others, full Of enthusiasm, pro-
claim ur6i ct Or5i, that they have
discovered the only infallible means Of
saving humanity; others, who find more
.di fficulty in getting listened to, strive to
make us comprehend the utility Of seek
ing fer the fountain head Of our evils, in
place Of allowing ourselves to be led
asst ray by appearances, and that reforms
are only matters of secondary import
Rnce.
Unfortunately, societies are like indi-

"rhe landlords share, however, Is NOT
really SO great as this, for upon him falls
the occasional repairs Of houses and i'm

or crippled. Upon him, too, falls the
chief loss when the crop is short, for he

all the supplies furnished to tenant.
"This brings up another point which
shows that the tenants share, also, is
less than appears from the balance sheet
His supplies are all bought upon credit,
and the credit system is the plunderer OF
the south. That this system plumbers

that are well worth considering. In the

and other articles. When taken
before Magistrate Clement, at the
City Hall, the defendant assert d
that she did not intend to take the
waist and was not going away with
it when arrested. She was com
mitted in default of $500 bail for
further hearing on Tuesday. Prior
to the hearing the accused is said
to have Informed the police that
she was the wife of clergyman of
South Bethlehem"
Mrs. Hipkins was stopping with
friend in Philadelphia (who is
well-known to our people) on the
day the alleged theft was commit,
ted who is also personal friend of
Mr.. Wanamaker and it is said that
she interceeded in her behalf and
had the matter settled so far as the
prosecution of Mrs. Hopkins is con-
cerned.
The news of the arrest created
quite a stir among the people of
Oakland, especially the members of
the Episcopal church.
SUFFERING FROM DEMENTIA.
1t transpired this morning that
Mrs. Frederick Hopkins, of South
Bethlehem, the wife of II prominent
Episcopal clergyman Ct that city,
was admitted to hospital on De.
Gem Der ~ to be treated for demen
tia, which, it is hoped, will prove
only TEMPORARY.
Mrs. Hopkins has many friends
in this city, and while on a visit
here recently, she was so unfortu-
nate to be arrested on the charge of
shoplifting, but was promptly Ne
leased upon the discovery of her pc
culiar mental condition.
Mrs. Hipkins' strange manner
was first motto d about two or three
months ago, and since that time the
development of her present trouble
has been feared. Rev. Frederick
Hipkins is man of note in the
church and the greatest sympathy
las been expressed for the family
on all sides.
Mrs. Hopkins is in charge of DR.
George Fetterolf. the senior sur
geon at st. Luke's Hospital, South
Bethlehem, who gives hope of her
ultimate recovery. -Phila. Evening
