NEW FIELDS FOR LABOR.

1.-THE acquisition of the islands OF
Cuba and Porto Rico will solve the labor
problem in the United States" high
authorityin the engineers, corps is quoted
as saying. To the average thinking per-
son this is very plausible. as it will take
1000 American troops to govern Cuba.
30, 600 to govern Porto Rico, $4,000 for
Hawaii, and if the Ladrones and Philip
pines are to be held another 100000 will
be required. Undoubtedly there will be
an exodus of educated and intelligent
negroes from this country to the new
possessions, but thousands of others will
20. men who are now the bone and sinew
of the South. They will bs.needed there
to do the work heretofore done by natives
who are now dead or are too lazy to con-
form to the customs of Americans soon
to be in complete charge of all operations
there. Their departure will. to a very
great extent, settle the race question In
the South, which will be forced to import
white labor from the north to take their
places. This drain of surplus population
will settle for a long time the labor prob.
lem in the northern states.
There is more field for skilled labor in
Cuba and Porto Rico than anywhere else
in the world There they have few tele.
graph and no telephone lines. no railways
to speak of, no electric lights outside
Havana, no modern system of machinery
on the plantations that would yield
princely revenues if cultivated as is the
of <La Mt
docks nor steamship lines, no buildings
with modern conveniences. nor anything
else that will be calle1 for as soon as
American capital gets in there.
Skilled labor is already going there at ar
advance of about 81 per cent over the pay
it on get in this country, and the impetus
has not begun. The restoration of good
order In the province OF Santiago, the re-
building of docks, sugar mills, ware
houses, stores and dwellings, the restora-
ton of agriculture manufacturing, the
large iron mines reopened and worked
and all other industries crippled or de.
stroyed during three years of warfare and
the opening OF communication between
the harbor of Santiago and the outside
world all told will require many thou
sands of lsborers nearly all of whom
will go from the United States. Young
America in search of a chance for expan.
sion will find abundant opportun1
in Cuba and Porto Rico.
in this instance we could safely follow
the example of England who keeps colon
izing and sending out her young men to
take charge of foreign affairs. AS re.
suit the older men are able to remain In
| their positions at home and are moi
shouldered to the wall by the young blood
as is the case in this country. 1t should
be the young men who 40 to our new
possessions, and the old fellows who are
left will be able to stay where they are
and earn livelihood. The bright pros
poets in store there are absolutely incon
ceivable to the average man.
