ganized labor in the country Some are
not voters; but. especially IN the Fedora
ton. the great majority are voters.
Our appeal did not ask that labor
unions and central bodies iiidorse the
Ryran and Kern ticket nor hat II in
dorse the Democratic party. It did ask
that the general policy of tl'5 executive
council OF the Federation be Endorsed.
To Stand by Friends.
''This was to recommend that labor
go to the ballot box prepared to stand
by those who were its friends. In some
districts there might be Democratic can
didates for Congress whom we would
oppose on their records. as 10 the Pres
idential tickets, Of course that descrip-
ton would mean the Democratic ticket
when that appeal was sent out. we
understood thoroughly that the indorse-
ment OF II by unions and central bodies
would not constitute news. and would
get little attention. Likewise, we under
stood that the cases in which union
or a central body might refuse tndorse-
ment would be news, because 1t is the
unusual and exceptional fnat makes
news. We have not been disappointed
There are about 600 central labor bodies
in the country. and we have no report
Of any one of them refusing an indorse-
ment 10 our proposition. we have re-
&C iVed great mum bers of letters and re-
ports, telling OF the endorsement of the
proposition. We understand that q few
unions. dominated in the main by So
cialists have declined TO lndOrse it, and
perhaps one or two minor central bodies.
Nearly All Others Indorse.
Against this. we have received the
Endorsement of practically all others;
OF ali others in which the matter has
been brought up for an expression.
There has been dissent in some cases,
but the dissent Of sman minorities.
Here is the report from the Yonkers
central body. It shows that our appeal
was indOrse1 by a vote OF tWenty~ono
to two in the meeting Of the central
organization, composed Of delegates
from the unions. They are mostly Re-
publlcans up there: but tnat is the rec
ord on which our appeal IS indorsed.
The central federation for greater New
York and vicinity has just sent in its
printed report of the meeting at which
the appeal was indorsed. Here It is

happened"
Not only has Endorsement been given
10 the general position Of the Fedora
ton, but according TO Mr.. Morrison,
funds have very generously been voted
10 help carry on the political work.
Have No Funds to Vote.
You must understand" Mr.. Morrison
explained. that the central bodies have
no funds Of their own to vote us They
are merely delegate bodies, represent
ing the unions: and it is to the unions
we must look for the money. They
are very generally sending it; from 81
TO $500 per union. The $500 cases are
rare. and 500 is a good, strong figure
for 2 union to appropriate. But they
are generally showing their interest IN
contributions"
When the American Federation
launched its political campaign, there
was wide prediction that it would result
in disaster to the great organization.
The case of Powderly and the knights
ganizatiOn having disintegrated until
important membership. This possibility
gave concern 10 many. even of the men
who were most devoted to the Idea or
carrying labor into politics. If Morri-
son and Gompers are not unduly confl-
dent in their expressions. the time IS
past when they gave themselves worry
on this pOint.

Negroes Succeed as Farmers.

Capt. Wagner. who has had a wide ex-
perlence and is wise man. is con-
WINGED that the negro must continue to
be the dependence of the planters He
does not believe that any substitute can
be found for him in the cotton neEds for
climatic and other reasons and he tells
me that the negro is gradually becoming
ant and 'share-cropper." Any industrious
negro can obtain farm to work on
shares. and the acreage cultivated on that
plan is extending every year.
Capt. Wageners statements are con-
nrmed by the census returns of 1900.
which show that in twenty-eight out Of
the forty-one counties of this state there
were more negro than white farmers The
negroes form a majority of the farmers
in two-thirds of the townships of the
state. especially in the rich lowIands
go farms owned by negroes in South
Carolina. 66.23I farms rented by negroes
and 23.SO6 worked on shares, according
to a system which has prevailed in this
state ever since the war. making a total
of 10000 farms cultivated by negroes who
raised 3S.9 per cent of all the farm
products of the state and purchased 3D.
per cent of all the fertilizers used on the
land The total value of the products o.
the negro farmers in 1900 was s43 E92. SO
being chiefly cotton.
These figures. as YOU will remember. arc
for the census year 1900. and every
body agrees that the negroes of the
state have made more progress since that
date than for ten or fifteen years previous.
Hence the returns of the next census are
likely to be much more encourag ing.
