OFFER OF ITALIANS MADE
Agents at New Orleans Are Ready to
Send Labor 10 These Islands.

News that an effort Is being made to
secure proportion Of Italian labor
ers for the sugar estates OF these Is
lands has reached some OF the employ
ment agencies of New Orleans, La, In
which section of the United States a
large supply of these people are used
for cane fields. One OF these agents,
located in well known Office build
ing of New Orleans sends letter to
the Bulletin stating his business and
asking a number of leading questions.
He wants to know what wages are paid
for males, females or minors, with or
without board, the cost OF living, APP
proximately, the very lowest cost of
flour, whether or no the Iaborers would
be allowed garden plots to grow small
vegetables for themselves, whether or
no facilities for the education OF the
children will be afforded and whether
or no the planters will consent to per-
NIT some OF the laborers to have fields
on shares, and if the law affords full
protection. The agency Is a response
bic one. evidently, giving references.
There is shown the determination to
direct a stream of the correct size to
these shores IL inducement Is offered.
Says the agent:
planters wanting Italians for colo
nization should first advance the trans
portation for the men and after they
had settled for the same then send for
their families. They at first should be
little liberal to induce these people
to go in a new country. 1t may be a
hard case ut first o procure them, but
after abatch of fifty or ahundred can
be induced to go and find plenty of
work and fair treatment, then full
supply wiz follow without trouble.
After they get their families with
them you can be sure to have estab-
lished an Italian Colony on your place.
1T is important for planters to ap-
point an agent familiar with those peo-
pie to secure the proper men. An order
may be given to some German, Swede,
Irish or American Labor Agent who
will engage every man speaking Ital-
ian, no matter whether a shoe black,
dish washer, etc.
"Such was the case in 1880 when the
Mexican Government wanted to colo
nize the State of Morelos VITA Italian
immigrants. An order for one thou
sand Italians was intrusted to four la
Dor agents in New York. The men
were shipped and on their arrival al
the place, no one knew how to handle
a hoe, and the consequence was that In
three months they left the place and
the Mexican Government lost one hun.
dred thousand dollars by the operation
"The introduction of large colony
Of Italian laborers In Louisiana was 6
matter Of simply investing little CAPT
tai by some reading planters. when II
1870, imported from South Italy 1,00l
laborers engaged at the liberal wages

from the monthly wages. That ship

Gold and silver do not cut so large nor so
important a figure in the mineral produc-
ton of the world as it is popularity sup
posed. Like diamonds and other precious
stones, the real value of these finer metals
grows relatively less and less as the de-
mands of the world increase for things that
may be turned TO general and practical
uses. Pig iron, steel ingots and copper ore
are more potent factors in the march of
modern civilization than gold and silver.
A glance at the figures of the recent official
United States for 1898 illustrates this. Thus
the amount of pig iron produced in the year
was IL. ld3. 1874 tons, and of steel ingots 6,609,-
OH tons, the largest output on record. The
copper produced amounted to 526, 512, 9S7
pounds, lead to 231 .269 tons. while the COM
paratively little known but highly useful
metal known as aluminium figures in the
returns at 100000 pounds. with a value of
sl.I16,OoO. The value of air metallic prod
ucts in 1898 was 1914 ,o96, $780,. as compared
with 1902, 1876. 5G2 in 1897, a gain of Sal. S97 .62S.
In this total of 1898 the value of the gold
and silver together was only about 500 Geo.
600. or less than a third. All of the metals
except nickel made large gains. copper,
lead. zinc, aluminium and anthony reach
ing their maximums in both production
and value. 1t is interesting to note in this
same report that so unattractive a sub
stance as borax was Produced to the extent
or 100000 pounds, valued at 81 .120,OO0
while the production of precious stones of
all kinds amounted In value to only x160 $50.

imperil their civil rights and would tend to
make the whites more overbearing and the
negroes more helpless. Ii would be a bad
thing for the body polite to have a large
number of citizens voluntarily declining to
exercise their rights as such and submits
s.vely taking the place of serfs. Such a
course would be equivalent to an admission
by the colored people that. Notwithstanding
the Constitution and laws, they have no
rights that white men are bound to respect.
The colored people in lthe South are. in a
large measure, debarred from politics now,
but the present state of things cannot con-
tinue always. and If they qualify themselves
to participate in politics and persist In de-
handing their rights and exercising them
as far as possible. the time will come when
they will obtain fair recognition. That part
of the advice which relates to the acquisi-
ton of mechanical and industrial education
is all right. but this need not involve the
surrender or abandonment of political
rights.
Bishop Walters's advice is not altogether
bad, but it requires qualification. The
wiping out of the color line in politics and
the breaking up of the solid South would be
a good thing. but there should be some reci-
procity about IL. 1t could hardly be accom-
plished by the negroes going over en- masse
to the white mems party, while the white
men remained stationary. The colored vote
in the South has not been any more solid
than the white vote. and If one is to be d.
vided why not the other? 1t is not easy to
see how the addition of several thousand
or hundred thousands of colored votes to
the Democratic party in the South could
help to break up the solid South unless the
Republican party should draw something
like an equal number of recruits from the
other side. What the South needs is a free
ballot. fair and honest elections and two
parties composed of voters of both races
who will vote, not from race hatred or
mercenary motives. but from intelligent
conviction. The solid South has been a po-
litical menace and curse to the country ever
since the war. Both races are in a measure
responsible for it, and both should unite in
trying to find a cure for the evil. A solid
black Republican vote may be a bad thing,
but a solid white Democratic vote is equally
as bad. Bishop Walters in one breath ad-
vises the colored people in the South to
make friends with the ruling classes by
voting the Democratic ticket" and in the
next says the Democratic party in the South
makes a great political mistake when it
drives the negroes by persecution to the
North. East and West" How can the ne
sroes be expected to make friends with a
party that is constantly prosecuting them?
Ought not the Southern whites to show a
little ~magnanimity as well as the blacks,
and, as they are the more numerous,
wealthy and powerful, why should not they
set the example,?

We are not sure that citizens of Indianap-
oils who have been to the Inconvenience for
months of watching two telephones will care
a whit how soon the two companies now
doing business in Indianapolis are CONSOLE
dated. For the larger concerns two tele-
phones may be a good thing. But for the
smaller-which are by far in the majority
two phones are a considerable nuisance.
And when the companies do consolidate
which, we believe, viii eventually come
acknowledgements ought to give the Sue
cessor company an exclusive franchise for
a limited number of years, on condition that
the city authorities be given the power to
fix the rates. This ought to have been done
instead of granting a second franchise. We
are now paying more for telephone service
than we ever paid before, all because a cer-
tain big-headed editor i'm this CITY could
not run the old company to suit him.
