The tenantry Of South Carolina plan

Irish potatoes that yield amazingly con-
sidering the amount OF labor expended.
The potatoes are dropped thickly in
long, fresh burrows Of otherwise unbro-

eight inches deep wit dry pine straw"
This is the only culture" given them
as the pine needles keep down the
weeds Sometimes square pens are
made Of rails, and layers Of straw and
potatoes several feet deep are placed in

Poverty and Mortality.

Mr. Neefe. the Bre5lau statistician.
publishes an interesting paper, from
which the following important facts
are taken:
In the year 1896 it appears that the
death rate of the poorer classes was
nearly three times greater than it
was among the rich. The amount
paid in rent is given as a criterion of
MEANS the figures being as follows:
"Out of every one thousand who
paid a rent up to 300 marks, 20.7 died;
out of every one thousand paying a
rent of from 30l to $50 marks. only
ll.2 died: and out of every thousand
paying rent ranging from 80 to
l,500 marks, only 65 died, the average
being l7.6 persons dying to each 1000
living"
According to these figures the NOR
tally of the Breslau poor population
is at least three times greater than
that of the rich, but as a matter of
fact it must be much greater, the
deaths of servants. journeymen and
persons who die in the hospitals not
being included, and they in all cases
belong to what are called the poorer
classes. The same article shows that
more than one-half of the children
born belonging to the poor population
died in babyhood, while the deaths of
the children of the rich amounted to
only about one-sixth of the total
number born Social Democrat.

And This Isn't Spain.

The factory laws of New Jersey,
which have never been well enforced,
are being utterly defed by number
of employers in Passaic. Men.
women and children are compelled to
work from 6:30 d. IN. until and 10 at
night without extra compensation.
Children are thus kept away from
night school, their only chance of Sc
curing some education. Men are
starving in the streets. The workers
are supposed to have one hour for
dinner. but it is said they only are al
lowed fifteen minutes. Four dollars
per week is high and unusual wage,
the average being $l.25. These white
slaves live twenty-five and thirty in

Spanish Socialists.

The socialist national committee of
Spain has issued a manifesto. which
says. among other things: DO not let
us be associated, workers, in any
patriotic manifestation because these
besides being contrary to the inter-
ests of labor, only serve to brutalize
men. Let u tirelessly disseminate the
ideals of peace between the exploited
and oppressed of all nations. and as
we observe the success. Of our efforts
let Us continue demonstrating against
the war till its agitators are forced
to capitUlate. and till we obtain for
this country the tranquility and order
necessary to enable it to recover
from the ills it ha5 suffered. Let Il,
persist Ina our work of organization,
and see TO it. that the political situa-
ton which may crop Up at the end Of

in broken chair, rocking the baby
in her arms beside a dirty wooden

years the people have been drawing
the difficult breath of poverty The

always labor struggle, but this is a
labor crisis. The products of labor
are appropriated by capitalists: from
this cause arises all the misery of the
