the change factory doors began to open
and laborers went in, wheels began to
turn, furnaces to blaze, anvils to ring,
commerce was quickened into new life
and season of prosperity dawned upon
our country such as has never before
been enjoyed Every man, woman and
child who wants work can find 1t and
at wages which are almost marvellous.
Your correspondent must know that
in this and adjoining fruit growing coun-
ties the demand for labor has exceeded
the supply. The failure of two sugar
beet factories was caused, l understand,
by the failure to get help to cultivate
the beets. 1t is we'll known that last
season farmers could not get help to
properly cultivate their farms, and weeds
took possession of the cornfield' as never
before. A large portion of the corn crop
has stood in the field during the winter
because help could not be procured To
harvest 1t.
Housewives-some n poor health
have been compelled to overwork ana
some have broken down for the reason
that they could not get help TO aid IN
household duties. The writer of this
article has driven hundreds OF miles and
sometimes without success in search OF
a woman or girl to do housework; and
many others have had similar eXper-
fences. Where help has been obtained
for the present winter season the condl-
tions are almost invariably made that
they can work no longer than until the
grape tying season commences.
Now, what is the prospect Tor the pre-
sent season? With more than 10000
acres of vineyards and other fruits to
trim, tie up, cultivate, harvest and mar
ket, and 5000 acres more Of grape vines
to trim, post, wire, tie up and cultivate,
and several thousand acres more of vines
to set, fertiize and cultivate, where is
the labor coming from To do the work?
Where.are the wives to get help in do
nestle duties? Truly the prospect Is
not encouraging.
Persons wanting help and failing to
obtain it solicited Mr.. Glidden to make
the trip to Castle Garden. Neither Mr..
Glidden nor anyone interested in his
mission udu duy InlcbIiOu VI Ihio"ihS
any employe out of position. They
prefer our home laborers, but they must
have help, and as the sailors say, "any
port in a storm" They are themselves
laborers and friends of the laboring peo-
pie, and take great pride in the present
prosperous condition of the laboring
classes.
1t is discourteous in your correspond
ent to denounce their action under the
circumstances as contemplate and un-
principled.' He does not seem TO un-
derstand that the government does not
allow the slough and scum of foreign
Immigration" to laud upon our shores.
None but those possessing official req
concentrations for morality, soberness,
health and industrious habits are per
mitted to land or TO be sent out to those
applying for their help. Such is my
understanding Of the situation. In my
long experience as a farmer l have en-
ployed large number of that class OF

Not the Oldest in Van Buren, County.

Mrs Rebecca LOOMS OF Bloomingdale,
who recently celebrated her eight,
seventh birthday, beside having the dis
tincton OF being the Oldest woman re-
siding ia Van Buren, county. can also
boast of having over 100 living descend
ants. Beside having forty great grand
children she has what few women in
this day and age can boast of-two great
great grandchildren. Mrs. LOOMS, al
though advanced in years, enjoys good
health and can see TO read or sew with
or without glasses Detroit Free Press.
The claim that Mrs. LOOMS is the
oldest woman residing in Van Buren,
county is not made with knowledge,
South Haven has at least two women
who are older, Mrs. Harriet Overy, Sc
years old, and Mrs. j. r. Monroe, So
Tribune Messenger.
Neither are the South Haven ladies
the oldest in the county. Mrs Mary
Parker of this village, grandmother o
Mrs. M. O. Rowland, is 90 years of age
and is, doubtless, the oldest woman il

about the rights of labor and its i'm
portance in the great business and in
dustria pursuits of life no one will
deny, but would he compel farmers to
leave their fields uncultivated or let their
crops 90 to waste, or farmers wives to
wear themselves out in caring for their
families and doing their housework,

Mr.. Glidden's mission is an expert
ment, and what may be the result of it,
time will tell If he does succeed in
getting help to relieve the pressing want,
it will be a God-send | am sure that
no fair minded person can read the vir-
ulent. undigrihed and insulting Ian
guage and insinuations OF your cores
pondent in his attack upon Mr.. Glidden
and those employing him, also upon the
foreigners who may chance to come

kr. woodman Replies TO Sage Brush

Editor True Northerner:-
l noticed an article in your last issue,
over what seems To be very significant
mand very candid and truthful answer,
in behalf of Mr.. Glidden and those EN-
ploying him in his honorable and most
worthy mission, as well as to our foreign
population who have made our country
their homes, and are to be found among
eur most worthy, Industrious and enter
prising citizens.
The writer refers to that depressed
condition of the country from 1893 to
1897. He will pardon me if l briefly
state, for his information. the primary
causes of that business depression.
The people OF this country were divid-
ed in their opinion, whether protection
or free trade was the best policy for the
Industrial classes and great business in
terests of the country. The protective
policy had been maintained for many
years, but in 1893 that policy was
changed and the markets of the United
States were opened to the products of
the cheap labor of the old world Many
farmers and other laborers were made
to believe that free wool would enhance
the price of the raw material, and at the
same time give cheaper clothing; and
removing the duties on the necessaries
of life would cheaper them to the con
sumer Hence, they were induced To
try the experiment. They tried it and
we're no doubt convinced of the error in
to which they were led, for the contrary
proved to be the result. The price OF
wool fell from % to 30 cents in 1892 to
cents in 1895, and as rule the full
price of clothing and the necessaries OF
life were maintained. Manufacturers
could not pay the price which labor de-
panded and compete with the products
Of the cheap labor of Europe, with
which our markets were flooded. Farm
ers were compelled TO sacrifice their
focks and the best and most important
agricultural industry OF the Unite d
States was ruined. Factories and work
shops were closed and labor thrown out
OF employment. The country was filled
with tramps begging for food and cloth
ing. Laboring men were organizing In
To armies from different sections of the
country and marching on Washington
demanding "labor or bread" Almost
every business interest of the country
was thrown into one vortex of ruin.
In 1897 that policy of free trade was
changed to protection, and it was or
dered that the markets of the United
States. which are the best in the world,
belonged to the people of the United
States who had made them, and If for
eiguers desired to sell their products 10
our markets they must pay for the
privilege. Within three months after

 New York, July 15.-The announce- ment of the Northern Securities deeis- ion caused convulsive bound in Union Pacific to 95 IA and in Southern Pacific to 51 1-2. Both stocks then ran off, the former 34 and the latter a point The decision had been so accu- rately and confidently foreseen for three days past that the disposition was to take profits in the market after the market and prices yielded all around under this influence. The i'm mense absorption of Union Pacific con- vertible bonds was a feature of the trading. On the curb Northern Securi- ties. after selling at 103 1-4, dropped abruptly to 101.
 At the office of the Northern Securi- ties Company in this city 1t is said that President Hill would not say anything on the subject at least until he has read the judges decision.
 Representatives of J. P. Morgan X O.. and of E. H. Hartman, said they did not care to discuss the Northern Securities decision until their attorneys had read 1t in full. It was said at MT. Morgans office. however, that an appeal would be taken.

However. since his youth he served his country and his people and became gray in the service of the country he loved. His name and career will be indelible in the history of South Africa.
