THEY TREAT THEIR MEN LIKE BEASTS OF BURDEN RATHER
 THAN LIKE HUMAN BEINGS.
A Service of Fear Is Always a Poor
 0ne.
Copyrighted, 1899, by Charlz Nox Press Bu
 reau.

New York, June l In this letter 1 am to write abou, employers, and in next weeks letter abont the men who work for them, Let Us look into both sides of the question and treat each in fair spirit. Some men do not know how to be good employers, and. were all who hire others like these men, there would then be sufficient cause for q strained relation betw zen the two classes. Happily, this is not the case, for there are employ ers, and many or them, too, who have a truer concel : tion of the responsibilities of their position than have some of the men who work for them.
 Within four blocks of OUT once is a business man ot whom his em- ployees talk with affection, because they know he has their interest, as well as his own, at heart. Some time ago, during q very dull season in business, he was making much less money than usual. One salesman, a iarge-salalied man, went to him and offered tu work for less salary until business was better. The proprietor accepted the terms of the offer aud the induction began immediately After several weeks hecalled the man to his office and gave him d check large enough to cover the entire re- duction in salary. This story is true, and another employee Of the man spoke in most kindly terms Of him as he related these facts tO me. or selfish employers there are many but 1t does us good to hear of Il thing like this, for il adds one more to the arguments which overthrow talk as if all employers were the sworn enemies of the men who work for them.
 It is by no means aH uncommon thing to find employers who take a heartfelt interest in the welfare of the men who work for them. 'Em- ployers with hearts?" asks some body. Yes, and with good hearts. too. Men who treat their employ ees Justly, pay them honest wages, and In fact, do by them as they would wish to be done by were the posi- tions reversed.
 Men of Another Stamp.
 or course we all know that so-le proprietors are most unreasona ble and selfish men, ith no conception whatever of the responsibilities of their position. It is to be regretted that the need of bread and butter makes 1t necessary for other people to work for them but such i= the case. If q mans ability. his hard work and his capital make 1t pos sible for hiTn to become an employer. he should never so far forget his

choose, take advantage of bis posi- tion, and use his power in being un- reasonable and dieagreeable toward them. They must submit t. 1t, or take their chances of getting employ ment elsew here, and to get employ ment is sometimes a very difficult thing to do.
 Altogether too Gruf 8 Manner.
 There are employ CTS who ordrr their men about as if these men were beasts of burden instead of human beings like themselves. They =hoN no nor, regard for their feelings than fl they were slaves. Such 2 thing is degrading. both for rmplo1- CT and employee. A man who knows his business, and who wants tO Go the right thing by his employer, does not need to be addressed in a l0u'! voice and gruff tones, aad if a ma cannot do his duty without beina driven to it in this way. then he T. : BEA NR-b LIB AllSlJtlSSdf liE uCAb blilit 1 do not mean that an employ er shall politely beg his men t0 do theit work. or shall accompany zach or der With smile, hnt do hplrve that every man who hires anotie should treat him III d manly kind o' a way. and when he tells him t0 du anything he should speak to him as he would wish to be spoken t0 if he were in the employ of another. This snapping one up SD ungrariously ie not the thing for any employer to do. Iknow of woman wto left off trading it one store because eh' disapproved of the way in which the proprietor treated his men. Rarely did he give them an order without hollering at them, and she cane [. the conclusion that she would leave her money with some dealer wh, knew enough to treat his men dt. gently.

 Let Employees be self-Respeot-
 ing.
 Just as in going into home, one soon finds out if there is a harmoni- ons relation among it's members. so in a business establishment he soon detects the freling existing between the employer and empl wees In some stores the men know that while they do their work faithfully they will be we'll treafed and be ee- cure in their positions. The good treatment they receive, and the sense of security which they have, give rise to q feeling of self-rrs pet whirh shows in all they do. While in other stores the men show that their ser vices are those of fear A service of fear is al ways poor one. Fear robs a man of that freedom in his nature which is so necessary for him to have in order tO de his best work. The employer who holds the lash of fear over his men has not discovered the secret of how to get the most out of them. He may think he has. but as suredlY he has not. If any man wishes to make eyP-serYants of his employ ees let him make them fear him. But are eye-servants the Xii nd of employees man mos desires? l. 1t not far more desirable to have men who are interested ill their work and who find pleasure in doing all they can for the interests of their employer because he shows them that their interests are his too? Some employers realize that in order to do successful business for a numter of years in community il Is not only necessary t0 win the goodwill of their customers. but also to have he good i'll of their q. ployees. To this end these ea- ployers treat their men rightly. and endeavOr to make them so well sat isfied with their positions that they will want to remain in them for for a long time. COntented, well paid and interested service pays bet ter than any other in the long run.
 Here Lies the Secret.
 Span the distance between t.n em- pleyer and employee with a feeling oi mutual interest and you have all ideal relation. But let each believe thnt the other cares no more for him than to get what he can out of him. and from that time on he will do no more than he is actually obliged to. Proprietorship averages to be but short termed thing. In our great percentage of business failures the employer of today becomes the em- ployee of tomorrow. The large bus iness houses are constant reminders of this. for in them we find many men who were once in business for themselves, but. failing 10 succeed, they were obliged to go back into the Tanks and cam their living by serving others. After all. this Is not one-sided question, as l hope to show in next weeks letter, and es- peclalIy do l hope 1t will he read by some of the young men who find SO much fault with the men who give them opportunity to earn their bread and butter, for they should

TOO MANY EXPOSITIONS.
These Shows Are Becoming to Expensive
to the Government.

These Shows Are Becoming to Expensive
to the Government.
1t is not surprising that Mr.. Cox of
Kentucky asked on the flo r of the
House on Thursday, "When is this show
business going to stop?' The demand
for government aid for expositions
in different states and in foreign lands
has become so great that the people are
beginning to grumble about the matter.
Most of the expositions are projected for
the purpose of booming local trade, and
the country is becoming tired eff being
taxed for the benefit of few cities. On
Thursday over million dollars were
appropriated for fairs. And there are
quite number of bills pending asking
fol appropriations for similar purpose.
With what has been appropriated at
this session of congress the apprOpria-
tons for the Paris fair amounts to 81
100000. On Thursday there was appro-
priated for the fair to be held at Toledo,
o., $4,000 and for the fair to be held
at Buffalo, N. Y. 100000. There had
already been appropriated $350,OOO for
the Commercial fair at Philadelphia,
and ST.. Louis will soon be asking $780,
600 for great fair, which it is proposed
to hold IN that city IN 1904 in commence
ration of the Louisiana purchase by
jefferson.
When congress began giving money in
aid of fairs it was not suspected that
precedents were being made that would
eventually cost the government many
millions of dollars. About every impor-
tant city ia the country could find an ex-
cuse for holding a fair, and most of
them will find one if congress continues
to show disposition to pay the ex~
penses of fairs. The sooner congress
calls halt in spending money for fairs
the better the country will be satisfied.
If city wants fair let 1t pay the ex.
penses of it. There is no reason Why
the whole country should be taxed for
the purpose. -Savannah News.

negroes have been sent to Arkansas nv

In the lurch. In many cases the me-

families will, of course, be suffering
soon. Complaints have been heard
from various sections. Last evening
gentleman just from Stewart county
said that the farmers of that county
were considerably indignant over the
way in which they were beng stripped
of hands.
The negroes are being shipped by
Ldrs. M. f. Levette, reference to, the
prosecution of whom has been made
by the press. 1t is claimed that
she is the agent of an emigration

and she is under bond to be tried at
the next term of the Chattahoochee
superior court. She claims that she is
getting the hands for the plantations
of herself and relatives, claiming to
have extensive farming interests in
Arkansas. Her attorneys will make
the point, besides, that the Georgia law
imposing a tax of $500 ON emigration
agents is unlawful, as it interferes
with Interstate commerce. In the
meantime, Mrs. Levette continues her
shipment of negroes, pending the re-
suit of the prosecution.
Whether the general complaints
from the farmers caused 1T or not, Mrs.
Levette now says that she will suspend
her operations. She wired &c The Ems
quirer Sun from Birmingham, Ala
tonight: "You can say to the farmers
