The sultan and the Beans.

II the report can be believed the new
sultan of Zanzibar is fond of Boston
baked beans. but whether this indi-
Gates esthetc longings or merely low
grade Of simianlike imitation, it is inn
possible at this distance to say. Prob
ably there are Boston scientists who
will study the developments of the
sultan's character as ruler, and II it
proves creditable we can rest assured
that the bean pot viii receive full
credit.
The noble sultan of Zanzibar is cali
ing again for his beans. His clamor is
echoing near and far with terrible
rumble and rumpus and jar. as back on
his throne he leans.
The noble sultan of Zanzibar is cali
ing again for them hot. The silence of
night gets a terrible scar. His howl
rises up to a shuddering star-and
down goes the entire lot! Cleveland

FARM LABOR POORLY PAID.
Men in Various States Are FORMING
Union to Better III cir Hard
Conditions,

According to the census Of 1900 there
are 5,s21,os7 daily wage earners in the
United States, and of that number
there were l, 522 100 who were regularly
employed as farm hands" working by
the day or month, exclusive of farmers
who own and operate their own farms.
OF late years farming has been yield
ing large profits, yet the farm hands"
have received the poorestwages of any
class of labor in the land. ,,Ta.@-
70 The scale of wages paid them is from
so cents to s1.25 per day, or-s2e or s25
per month and beard. The wages for
helpers, extra and regular. amounted
to 1865. sos .e21, while tn e7ralue of farm
products was over 81, roo, oOO, 900. The
average expense for each farm so far
as the labor is concerned, was s64 in
1899, while the average value of the
products per acre was SAT-. White
farmers paid more for their help. on
the average for each farm. principally
because their farms were larger.
Approximately each white farmer paid
ST. for his hired help throughout the
year. Of course. Some of these farm
ers' did not hire any hefp at all, har-
vesting their grain in midsummer
alone. But, on the other hand. some
of the big" farmers of the corn and
wheat belts paid ont from 500 to $500
daily for helpers during the garner
ing seasons. 1t costs more to run
sugar farms. s1,as5 being paid for each
ed a crop in 1899. In 1880 the price paid
for the running Of various cereal and
produce farms is given by the census
bureau as follows: Per farm. wheat
and grain farms, SIC; cotton. $25; to-
bacco, ISL; nurseries, S1,136; vege-
table. S106; dairy. sos.
Besides the regular number Of farm
helpers about 100000 are employed in
addition during the whea t-cutting sea-
son in the grain belts. These are
known as harvest hands and are paid
from $50 to 50 per day. These har-
vest hands are now forming themselves
into unions for their, own protection
from overwork and low wages. Many
labor unions for regular farm hands
are being organized in Indiana, Ohio,
Kansas and the southwest. The young
man who has made his home on the
farm year after year is paid less than
any other class of workers. He has
had longer hours and no vacations. He
has brought to his employer larger
returns for the work than the coal
miner. the steel worker or the niechan-
ic of ordinary skill. The total ex-
pense, for instance. on an acre of wheat
is Sc. OF this S4.10 goes for horse hire,
Irvine, seed. etc. while the remainder
is paid to the two men who gather it
and the one who plows the soil and
sows the grain seeds. The profits upon
their S1.9o worth of labor yield from
SIS to IS to their employer. Cornis pro-
dnced for $3.50 per acre. of which
S2.25 goes to the man and his team
Generally the horses are owned by
the farmer and the man is getting $40
per month. The duties and wages of
the farm hand of to-day. it may be
seen, are not commensurate with the
profits of his employer.
