Those who have penhded in the exja-n ment of hiring for wages in money are about as much like men who attempt to daw water m bottomless buckets, as those who have tries! some other plan. Still this mode of employing labor has some very decid,si and obvious iidvant amw * .** over anv ‘ other ' In the first nla. e the hireling , , does hot insist . that , lie may work if he feels disposed and leave off wltPII he feels like it, nor does lie urge that liia employer's orders must take tlie form of odWcr. In the second place, tlie. farmer may have the control of his grain crop, and may raise ins meat, if those who do not fear the chain gang nor dis franchiflement will allow him to do so.— In the tliird place, he can, with lalror engaged in tins way, do more towards keeping his premise*, in repairs. We sus|>ect that one in going through the country, could siiot every place where a large pro,ant,on of the hands have ^ hinsl for wages by the improved sr-rir.-.

It is rare to find a hand who will do two Uilrtlw of what a tlrst class hand ought to do. Many nay the majority, per form about half that amount, while not a few come as low us a third or a fourth. to elections, burials amt other pretexts for iKing called away, tbe time left for ««““......... “7 '■» wages ami rations, even if they worked diligently while at it. It In no matter for wonder, then, that those who pay them living prices lose in the bargain. We are iiersuaded however that this is (lie only way in which labor ought to lie or eau lie protitably employed. The fSoutliern people must come to this if they hoi>e to resuseiate their fortunes.— All rent ing save that of a bonafdt eliar ■acter must be aliandomxl. The share system must be discontinued. cropj.'j* ami furnisbed renters ls.th girotlUUe—a* they are not—it ^lll to uii.lw U> Ian ttom ,>ilx«-,l "!> - "I,,.,,,™ .. .....; joui rentei everything lie wants and release him from your control, you place him in a condition too boatiftc not to be •iHuring. When vou insure your cropper a living whether he makes it or not, and tie only . follows - „ vvuir advice, , , it . is not , at , all surprising that ho elects to work for paitof tin* crap. .... In contrast with ... such happy beings, tlie hireling who ■engages to work under the orders of a nnaster for his whole time feels himself vvt a great disadvantage. Wages grad¬ uated to the quantity and quality of his work will not entice him into such a contract. You must hi,v him to con .sent to he Idled. You must pay him a tfauey price, and still allow him to do very much as his cropping and renting 'friends do who have not bartered away ,their “privilege.’’ It would l>e a marvel af jieqpledJd not lose their money, their land and ail that they have when they •employ labor under such disadvantage. For IwidowtMrs who want to make snore on their hands than they can do by their own Isl-ir. wo can see only two ways ojieiu One is to rent to parties who are in a oouditGu to n nt—who are iible to furnish Ihejirselvna. The other is to hire for reasonable wage* as many— and no more- ris they bare the pro¬ visions to feed, ;unl the cash to pay. As long as farmer* have to buy com and meat at credit p:ie«* to fetxl their hands, and draw upon their mwehanta at high rates of interest for money to jwy t lieir wages, tlu-y cannot exjUt to make money, in whatever way they employ labor. , Thereto* erus.G,- iu.vir.st datwitic in llmm^lmrehn'rdH-rs rXte Of' .reYr^lm Yam 5 n« 8 pSe tv ’h r-’ n ent< Till: co«Dos-co»Kl.fK<. afuih.
