Farm Work Leads.

Statistics of farm labor and the
wages paid in tho several States
and Territories have been prepared
by the Agricultural Department and
are soon to be issued in the form of
a bulletin.
a greater number of persons are
directly engaged in some form of
agriculture than in any other branch
of labor. There were 22,735,661
persons, 10 years of age and over,
having gainful occupations in the
United States in 1900, of whom
8,305,634, or 800 per cent were en-
gagged in agricultural iabors.
Agricultural laborcrs-that ir
those who work for hirc-arc d
crcasing element as compared with
the entire farm labor of the United
States. In 1870 they constituted
4S.9 per cent, or nearly onc-half OF
the agricultural workers; in 1880,
1876 per cent, and in 1850, 35.S per
cent, or a little more than one-third.
The latest year covered by this
report is 1890. Farm wages per
month by the year or season, with
out board and with board, were
higher in 1900 than in 1903. In rate
of wages with board per month by
the year 1893 to 1900, the smallest
changes arc in Georgia, Texas and
Now Mexico, each less than per
cent. The highest gain was in Min
nesota, 10 per cent, followed by Wis
consin, nearly 10 per cent; Wash
ington and Michigan, each 8 per
cent; North Dakota, 8.5 per cont !;
South Dakota, rs per cent, Wyom-
ing, Z per cent.
In the United States AZ q whole,
wages by the month, by the year, or
season, both with and without board,
had their maximum in 1866, and
their minimum in 1870.-!W ashing-

60 BACK TO AFRICA.
This Is Bishop Turner's Advice TO tho Men
Of his Racs-Problem's Solution.


Atlanta, Ga, September g. Bishop
Turner, of the African Methodist
church, said in an interview recently
with regard to the best manner of
preventing the crime of assaulting
among negroes: 81 am as much con-
vmoed os ever that African emigration
would bo best for the negro and best
for the white. There is an irresisti.
BILE conflict between whites and blacks
that nothing but separation can rec.
oncile and put an end to.
"Our children are generated and
nursed under malignant and misan-
thropic excitement that will wreck
this country and make our civiliza-
tion hiss and by word. And :s it
is fact that the negro will not let
white women alone, then white men
owe it to their manhood and honor
to get rid of him; and if they will
open up highway 10 Africa millions
of the black race will 60. Rather
than shed so much blood, you had
better enact laws to brand these fools
and scoundrels and crop their ears
and vanish them to Africa. If the
country will turn over these criminals
that they are burning, hanging and
shooting to me and brand their cheeks
and carry them to Africa I will give
the world another Rome, or establish
a country like Australia, which was
founded and built up by English Gu,
throats and penal convicts.'
