What Is Tho Matter With Tho Amer.
lean LabOrers

sec some reports in the news-
papers that prominent mon are
making the announcement that
the native laborer isgrowing rapid.
ly less reliable, and in many
sections of tie U. s. nile
tcnths of the hands employed do
not speak the English language,
and even tho much dreaded
Chlnaman is being sought after
and Congress is asked not to barr
his importation. He can under
live all people, l have heard, 80 he
ls a dangerous competitor in any
busines. l have no doubt but the
young men of this day do not work
as we'll as their fathers did, but l
did not know this was u universal
habit. This importation of so
many foreigners only makes things
look darker for the future OF our
country. And it seems to mo its
outlook is gloomy enough now,
and we need no more iomornllzing.
1T seems to me there should be
very much more money and brain
work expended on improving our
soil, SO as toproducc more provis-
ions, keep more people in the
country, ns wo could then pay bot
ter wages and thus increase the
rural population as l believe it is
the most useful to the state and
nation, more patriotic, more healthy
better morally and physically, love
peace and order more, and the best
soldiers if war is pushed on them.
Remember too that the world ls
sustained by the plow and the
needle. 1t seems that the love ofl
whiskey is on the increase. / have
always believed (and often said)
that the under fed and overw worked
man either physically or mentally
is more apt TO become drunkard;
and especially so with those no,
we'll supplied with plenty of rich
and nourishing food. Let this
class get to stimulating themselves
with spirits, and the effect is ire
sistible.
liza young man should: save his
$40 (and may he $40O whiskey
bill annually for 81 years aid 1t at
, simple interest he could make his
oldest child present Of some
$500 and the $40 board of dog
would add some $500 more to it.
besides lie might save the child
from having the whiskey and dog
mania the father has been afflicted
with. have no doubt but there
are millions Of men in the world
that would like to take the place
OF the American laborer, SO 1t
would be ise in HIM to reform.
