Scotch Farm LabOrers

During the last ten or twelve years
we have witnessed in Scotland an enor-
nous decrease in the number OF
hands" employed in agricultural work
In 1871 there We're in Scotland 165, ,O9d
farm servants, in 1881 there were 149.
765 and in 1891 only 12O.770. Doubt
less more than one cause has contrib
uted to this result; but In the main II
must be traced back to two great cen
trail facts. o. During the last twenty
years large tracts of arabic land have
gone out of cultivation. (2) During the
same period there has taken place an
enormous displacement of hand llbor
by machinery. Take the effect Of but
few seasons self-binding reapers have
rapidly sprung into popularity.
According to the Agricultural Econo,

ual labor used to cost from Ss. to los.
per acre; but with the new machines ii
costs only from Is. Cd. to Is Cd. per
acre. In other words, some twenty ;or
work that formerly required fifty able
bodied men and an equal number of
young lads and lasses. This Is but one
example out of many. True 1t Is, a lin
tied number of these crowded peasants
may. and doubtless do, find employment
at some OF the various kinds of un-
skilled labor. even in a comparatively
overstocked city market. Nevertheless,
the inevitable result Of all this must
be the intensification of the unemploy-
ed problem in town and country alike.

The professional Element are bearish on
the prospects of big acreage, dullness of
dry goods and the absence of speculation,
SO that Just now the rallies in price are
brought about more by the bears than by
the bulls. The outside public is not in the
speculation, and among the professionals
the bulls are distinctly in the minority.

POOLS response to our advance of yesterday
seemed to disappoint the bulls, and May,
after opening points lower at 756, de-
clined to Isl. The business seemed to be
mainly local. One of the most active of the
room traders bought several thousand
Mays, causing the price to reach to 7.56.
He subsequently gave some support to the
market hoping to be able to unload above
76O He succeeded in bidding May up to
759, but met a deluge of offerings at that
price, which caused him in the last five
minutes to turn seller. A recession fol-
lowed, May closing at 7.57 bid, with the
tone steady. Some of the bulls were count
ing upon revision of the grades by the
classification committee at itsmeetingthis
afternoon. 1t was hoped that the quota
ton of high grade cotton would be mate
rally reduced, the practical effect of which
would be to increase tho. value of contracts.

of the market are without material altera-
lions either in the cotton or wooden goods
divisions. The Improvement of the cotton
market of Monday and yesterday has en-
couraged hopes that 1t may have reached
the limit of its sagging tendency and by its
future course imparts that degree or
strength to staple cotton goods, but the

FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
Republicans Who lnsist Senator Perkins Shall
Do Scmet thing In the Campaign

Republicans Who lnsist Senator Perkins Shall
Do Something In ths Campaign
What is agitating the Republicans Of
Los Angeles county now Is the ques-
tion as to whether or not George c. Per-
kins should be indorsed for United
States senator by the county convention
next Thursday.
The issue is liable to create some con-
siderable dissension befoys it is settled,
and even after 1t is there is liable to be
a good sized kick, no matter what dis
position Is made of 1t.
The first intelligence that the rank
and file had that movement was on
foot to secure the nine votes that this
county has in the legislature-provided
they are all Republican, which they will
not be-by instruction of the county
convention, was through the columns
of The Herald yesterday morning.
1t seems, though, that Senator Per-
kins private seciNtary and political
manager, Mr.. Hamilton, has been here
on the ground for several weeks past,
arranging matters to this end Mr.. Ham
ilton is very clever gentleman, and it
has been stated that he has, by the use
of tact, diplomacy and cash, succeeded
in organizing the Perkins men for all
onslaught OH the county convention.
But there are some men in the Repub-
lican party here who. while they are
not distinctly anti-Perkins men, do not
think that it is the proper thing to
force instructions down the throats Of
the legislative nominees of the party
on the senatorial question. If Senator
Perkins manager insists on doing this,
they will give him a hot fight.
These Republicans who are opposing
Perkins instructions site the fact that
the honorable senator has not as yet
,,1v
and unequivocally indorsed the St. Louis
platform and its nominees. They say
that he has not been heard from in this
campaign at all, and no one knows where
he stands.
They point to the magnificent fight
that Perkins colleague, Senator Ste
phen M. White, is making for Bryan,
silver and the Chicago platform, and
then ask why Mr.. Perkins is not doing
some of the same kind of work for his
party and its nominees. They also
claim that at the meeting of the Re
publican state central committee Sena-
tor Perkins did not come to the front
and indorse Mckinley and the st. Louis
platform.
They assert that Mr. Perkins, instead
of giving his loyal and true support to
the Republican national ticket and
platform, is busily engaged fixing up
county conventions, endeavoring to get
the legislative nominees instructed for
him. This is what they do not like.
They want to hear from the senator on
the stump in defense of Republican,
ism and Mckinley before they unquali-
fiedly instruct the legislative nominees
from this county to vote for him for
United States senator.
And this is the pass to which senate
rial instructions have come. The end
of it all will be right sharp fight in
the county convention, and If instruc-
tions fail the leaders will be so incensed
at Senator Perkins for his insistance on
making the issue that he will be lucky
If thereafter he gets any votes from
this county, save that of Mr.. Bulla.
