While ir. the South the labor
problem is d xturbing the minds of
the planters, jt is a far more vexed
problem in the North, and scem»
fartuer from practical solution each
succeeding vear. While the far
mers of that section have in a grest
measure solved it by the introduc
tion of improved machinery and
the cutting down of the area of
cul.Datable land, the manufactur
ers and miners are getting deeper
in the mire. Manufactories, mines
and even railroads are brought to
a standstill by the strikes of opera
tives. These strikes are not gen.
erallv the result of a demand for
higher wages, but against a reduc
tion of already low wages. To pay
the present wages in these days of
depression is financial death to the
manufacturers, and to reduce them
is almost starvation to the opera
tives. and there is consequently a
war between labor and capital. One
reason why there is not more ami
cable relations I vet ween employers
and employes is that there is no
reciprocity in their Healings. When
employers are making money, they
rarely an I reluctantly rai»<- the
wages of their employes, hut in
else of loss they are quick to re
duce- the wages. During prosper
ous years the wages have not been
in proportion to the profits, while
-ii losing years the w ages have been
cut down in proportion to the .
losses ; so that the workmen shared
all the losses and shared blit little (
in the profits.
Tire employers in large nianu- \
factories and mines have, in their
etfoits to brake as much as possible |
out of their business, introduced j
in this country an element that i» '
already causing them trouble, and
bids fair to cause them and the
country at large still more. When
American workmen refused to work
for reduced wages, the employers
imported foreign laborers, whom
they could hire cheaply. Thesi
men have seen that while tin I
amount paid them seemed fair in j
comparison with the amount they 1
received in their native country, it
really was no belter, ow ing to the
increased cost of living, and they j
in turn aie striking. Many of these j
men are socialists and anarchists
who have been taught that the rich
always oppress the poor, and that
freedom means no restraint by law.
and they arc liable to resort to the
methods so often used in Europe in ]
theircontests with their oppressors
—arson, rapine and murder.
So that while we of the Soulh
arc confronted with the problem
ol how to make a living with idle,
shiftless and irresponsible laborers,
it is a problem of small moment as
compared with that presented in
the North.
The Chattanooga Times says
that "the building ol the Ueorgia
State Capitol, at Atlanta, develop'
the fact that the granite can ct
quarried in Maine, brought to Sav
annah. and thence by tail to At
laiila, at a less cost than it can tie
had at a quatry only sixteen miles
awav.” If this lie so, it proves
that there is a great discrimination
in freights brought for long and
short distances, and the need of
some regulation. It is not a reas
unable supposition that granite
can he quarried in Maine and
transported fifteen hundred miles,
ami then laid down at Atlanta
cheaper than it can he quarried
and brought from Stone Mountain,
ii there is no unjust discrimination
against our local freights.— Koine
Courier.
The deducti -n made is unfair to
the railroads, for it docs not take
into consideration the fact that the
granite quarries of Maine have
been in operation for a number ol
years, and with improved appli- j
anees for quarrying can furnish }
stone much cheaper than the Stone
Mountain quarries, which have but |
recently been developed. There 11,1 " IU "' 11 di
