PROBLEM OF FARM LABOR.

From all over our State come sig
nails of distress from the farm The
crops are good and prices up, but
there is no one to gather the harvest.
The question of farm labor is not a
coming one; it is already here. The
negro is the chief reliance OF the
farmer. in eastern and southern Nir-
ginia at any rate. During the sum
mer thousands of this class 90 North
where they are in demand aswaiters.
hostlers and Wallets. generally return
inc to their families in Virginia asfall
approaches with some sparecash and
much Self-importance. Many OF them
have "laid by enough to tide them
over until the next season calls them
North again. Such as these cannot
be hired to help on the farm, and their
women folks do not feel compelled
TO docookingand washing when their
lords are flush.
Inthe oyster country the negro has
long since ceased to be a dependence
at the time OF pulling fodder or shuck-
ing corn. More 90 from this section
to the North than from any other
part of the State. and upon their
return they begin TO prepare for oys-
tering They be hired for love
or money to do farm work. and
many of them would befOund useless,
as they have never done a stroke OF
farm work in their lives. Just now
there is quite a rivalry among white
Oystermen to secure the services OF
negro tongmen. These command
prices ranging from $50 to $40 per
month and board during the oyster
season. If the season is a bad one
the white employer comes out at the
little end of the horn. Many OF the
negroes are expert Oystermen and
tong independently Of the whites,
they having the same privileges as
citizens of the State. SOin the oyster
section they become problem tOthe
oysterman as well as to the farmer
Agriculture cannot pay such prices as
the negro on the water courses can
command; hence farming in eastern
Virginia is at low ebb. 1t has long
been the wish of hefarmer there, and
of the white FISHERMAN too, that the
Legislature would make the season
for taking oysters from October LIST
to April. If such were done there
would be more labor offered on the
farm, and it is Just as probable that
as many oysters would be caught in
the shorter season as in Ia longer one.
The labor problem appeals to one
side of the qnestiOnfO the restriction
of the suffrage. IT, as it is claimed, n
restriction of the suffrage will cause
negroes to leave the State, it is argued
will not the agricultural interests OF
the State suffer irreparably. The
question is one OF much moment and
possibly this phase OF the situation
has already presented itself to the
Suffrage Committee of the COnstitu-
tional Convention The South is
dependent in a tremendous degree
upon negro labor. We would not
desire the class of white labor which
the North has. WedonOt understand
how to manage this class, MORGAN we
afford to pay such wages as they
demand. Above and beyond these
considerations is the fact that we
do not desire the introduction of this
low and oftentimes vicious foreign
element into our fair Southland.

when it is believed these islands may
safely come under the operation of our
present statutes and vessels only Of the
United States be employed iii our COM
merce with them.
Representative Richardson, of Tennes-
see, presented the minority report sign
ed by all the Democrats of the Ways and
Means Comittee except Mr.. Robertson,
of Louisiana. The report says in part:
1.-The measure is but another step in
the we'll marked line of Imperialism. 1t
is enacting a policy of pure colonialism
and the worst form of that policy. We
are opposed to our Government attempt
ing to hold territories as colonies and
treating the inhabitants thereof as sub
jects, and imposing upon them a govern
ment of force. This is the method of the
empire instead of that of the republic.
We oppose the whole policy of the ma
jority in dealing with the Philippine
archipelago. We believe that instead of
the effort they are making to set up aud
hold permanent colonies there we should
long since have inaugurated policy as
suring to the people of those islands
stable government and their ultimate
independence.
But, even if there is to be an admitted
change in our institutions and our form
of Government and wide departure
from the old landmark of political truth,
that all Governments instituted among
men derive their just powers from the
consent of the governed, and if it be ad-
mitted that we are to embark upon the
dangerous and desperate policy of colony
holding and subject governing, to none
of which de we agree, even then, we
could not give our assent to the passage
of the pending measure. The colonial
plan set up by this bill is unjust and
illiberal in the extreme"
The report says the Secretary of War,
in effect made the tax law for the Philip
pines and is given more power than most
kings. 1t also says that the bill de-
olares the Philippines foreign territory
and applies the Dingley law rates and
then proceeds to denounce the Dingley
law as a trust breeding measure, forcing
people to pay higher prices for their
goods at home than the same goods sell
for abroad. 1t asserts that the OBJECT
of the legislation is to obtain trade, and

THE PHILIPPINE TARIFF.
The Majority and Minority Reports on the
Measure.
(By the Associated Prcss.)

(By the Associated Prcss.)
Washington, D. c., Dec. 13.-Chairman
Payne, of the Committee on Commerce,
today presented the majority report on
the Philippine tariff bill. 1t says:
This bill is designed to raise reenue
Philippine archipelago. 1t is intended 10
restore the status which existed prior
10 the late decision of the Supreme Court
in the diamond rings case Prior 30 that
decision the Government had been col
lecting duties on goods coming .nt0 the
United States from the Philippine art hi
pelago at the same rates as those provi-
ded in our tariff laws for like articles i'm
ported from foreign countries. ''~
The court holds that the Philippine
archipelago is not a foreign country and
therefore the general tariff law does not
apply.
This bill extends the rae now existing
upon imports from foreign countries, to
articles brought in from the Philippine
islands.
In the Philippine archipelago the Uni
ted States Philippine Commission pre-
pared a tariff act after much care and
study. heir object has been and is to
raise sufficient revenue to support a gov
ernment in the Philippines, TO provide
