THE EMANCIPATION OF LABOR.

No single feature of nineteenth-century
progress has been more remarkable or
more significant of advancing civilization
the working classes. In estimating the fac
tors in this improvement first place must
be given to the progressive abolition of
slavery. AS all slaves are toilers, 1t follows
that slavery detracts from the dignity of
labor and lowers the average condition of
the working class. At the beginning Of the
nineteenth century slavery existed In the
whole of South America, in all the West
Indies, and in most OF North America
Great Britain had practiced slavery In her
colonies and engaged in the slave trade for
a long time. Jamaica was British breed
ing ground and distributing point for ne
gro slaves. In 1851 agreement was made
between England and Spain for supplying
the Spanish West Indies with slaves, and
It has been computed that between 1850 and
l7O0 the English tore from Africa about
three hundred thousand negroes for de-
portation to the Spanish West Indies. By
the treaty of Utrecht, made in 17l2. Great
Britain occurred for her subjects. during a
period of thirty years. an absolute monop-
oily OF the supply OF slaves to the Spanish
colonies. and the treaty provided that be-
tween 17i3 and 1743 the English should bring
into the Spanish West Indies no less than
$4,000 negroes. or an average or $500 every
year. During the ten years from 175e to 1762
no less than ILLS negroes were imported

The point made by Representative Lands
In the Roberts case was just such a one
as a keen practitioner of common sense
is apt to make while practitioners of law
are stumbling over verbal difficulties. The
law admitting Utah to statehood contained
the following condition:
timent shall be secured and no inhabitaat
of said State shall ever be molested In
person or property on account of his or
her mode of religious worship. provided,
that polygamous or plural marriages are
forever prohibited.
The obvious intent Of the last provision
was to break up the practice Of polygamy.
either by future marriages or under those
then existing. While the lawyers on the
committee allowed themselves to be CON
fused by Mr.. Roberts's coLtcntion that the
law did not apply to marriages contracted
before its passage, it occurred to Mr.. Lam
els 20 investigate II marriage. once con
tracted, is not a continuing condition
Most married people know 1t is. and on
consulting the dictionary Mr.. Lands founl
1t so. He Immediately concluded. and no
doubt correctly, that the law was intended
to prohibit. not only future plural marriage
ceremonies, but existing plural narriage
conditions. No amount of sophistry can
explain that point away.

Some interesting testimony regarding I'll

Some interesting testimony regarding the
condition of the negroes in the South was
given before the Industrial Commission at
Washington a few days ago by HI. e. Iris
sell, superintendent of the Hampton Nor
NAL and Agricultural Institute at Hamp-
ton, Va He said the number of small
negro farmers in the South is increasing
very rapidly. and he regarded this an ex-
cellent sign. The educational work that
has been done since the war has had good
results, but much remains to be done. In
telligent, Industrious and ambitious negroes
can make their way in the South, but a
great many of them do not possess these
qualities. The same can be said of white
people. North as well as South. Summing
up Mr.. Trissell said:
Throughout the South there is quite as
much opportunity for the respectable black
man as the white. AS broad statement of
results, about one-third of the negro race
has refrigerated since the war, one-third
has remained where it was and one-third
has advanced. Politics has proven an i'm
pediment of the worst sort. The negro has
been taught that his salvation lay through
political channels and not through hard
work.
Perhaps 1t is conviction that politics
has proven curse to the negroes that has
led the whites in several Southern States
to exclude them from politics altogether.
The most encouraging features in the sit
uation are the steady growth of educa-
tional facilities and the rapid increase in
the number of small negro farmers.

into Jamaica. In dispatch written at the
end of s7s2 British admiral reported that
In little more than three years 1000 ne
groes had been introduced into Guadalupe.
A letter OF General OHara, the British
governor of Senegambia. written in 176S.
estimated the number of negroes that had
been shipped from Africa during the pre-
ceding fifty years at 10000 a year. AT this
time. and until the beginning of the revo-
lutionary war, slavery was maintained in
the American colonies by the British gov
eminent. The slave trade. which was abol-
ished by the American Congress in 1776.
was not abolished by the British Parlia-
ment until 1906. At the beginning of the
revolutionary war slavery existed In all the
colonies, from New England to Georgia. 1t
was abolished in Massachusetts in 1850. in
New Hampshire in 1776. in Connecticut in
1854, in Pennsylvania in 17S0, and in New
York not until 1927. 1t prevailed in Mexico
and every other Spanish-American colony,
and actually threatened to become univer-
sal. Wherever it existed it made labor dis
graceful. and the wage Garner social out
cast. That was the condition at the begin
ming of the nineteenth century as far as
negro slavery was concerned. In Russia
the system Of serfdom was almost as bad,
and England had as yet scarcely outgrown
the feudal system. Everywhere labor was
disgraced. and the free workingman was
handicapped by slavery.
The beginning of the century ushered in
the dawn of q brighter day. If England
had been foremost in establishing in
stitution that threatened to brutalize and
barbarize the human race. it must be said
to her credit that she was not slow in
adopting the policy of emancipation. She
was the first great power to abolish the
slave trade in 1906, and in 1888 Parliament
passed a law abolshing slavery in all
British colonies and voting s100.0000O0 as
compensation to the Shareholders. Slavery
was abolished in Mexico in 1929, In the
Dutch West Indies IN 1862, in Brazil by
gradual emancipation in 1871, in the Dis
United States In 1868. 1t still exists in
various degrees in Morocco and Tripoli, in
the Dutch Malaysian colonies. and in the
so-called Transvaal Republic, but only I'M
der the worlds ban. All civilized powers
are leagued together for the suppression of
the slave trade, and the institution itself
is regarded as a badge of barbarism.
The facts therefore show that the nine
teenth century has been one of emancipa-
ton, Of progressive freedom. and of the
liberation of free labor from the rivalry
and incubus of slavery. If nothing more
than this had been accomplished In the
interest and advancement OF labor 1t would
be an event of transcendent Importance.
but the improvement in other respects has
been so great as almost to throw this in the
shade. This phase Of the question will be
noticed hereafter.

In an article describing the wives of men,

The New York Suns comment on William
Dudley Foulkes criticism Of his critics is
sadly in error in accusing Mr.. Foulke of
having drop Of the gall Of bitterness in
his makeup. With the courtesy and suavity
Of French courtier Mr.. Foulke combines
the admirable quality Of good nature. and
he can laugh at personal criticisms d.
rected against himself with as much hearth
ness and with less fear of hurting any,
body's feelings than If they made some
other author their victim. One of the best
proofs of Mr.. Foulke's good nature is that
he will not get angry even at the ill-natured
screed fired at him by the Sun. but will
merely quote it gravely and with twinkle
of the eye the next time he takes his crit
les to task. Mr.. Foulke has been in politics
and especially in independent politics long
enough to cultivate thickness of cuticle,
and the man who writes about him with
the hope of hurting his feelings must say
something worse than has ever yet oc-
Cured to the mind of the most sarcastic
newspaper writer in the land. And when
Hfr. Foulke shall have been tempted to re-
ply to the Walls of wrath, let the critic pre-
pare to defend himself.

managers Of the "Wild West shows and

affairs over the use OF Indians in travelling

world. They admit that the showmen take
precautions TO keep the Indians out OF mis-
chief. but the fact that savagery is exploit
