Slaving Farmers.
The same writer who has given ns an
opportunity to write something more up
on “ working pigs,”—furnishes food for
an item under the above caption. He
says (in the Homestead of June 24th;)—
“There seems to be a notion among some
of our farmers that it is life’s mission to
do all the work they can, to literally slave
themselves from early in the morning till
late at night besides being meanwhile in
sort of ferment, eternally, because them
selves and those they employ do not ac
complish more.”
This is the great error of farmers, almost
universally, throughout all the free States.
At the South the owners of the land en
slaves the negroes and compel them to do
the toiling. At the North the owner en
slaves himself and toils like a slave, and
frets because he cannot do more. He for
gets, or rather he will not learn, that slav
ing toil does not produce wealth, or else
the unintcllecttial toilors who grade the
way for iron tracts over mountains, or cut
passages for canals and aqueducts through
hills, would be the wealthy ones. On the
contrary the intellectual men who direct
und guide the hands and brute force that
accomplish these great works are the ones
who acquire wealth. The same order of
intellect applied to farming would enable
the owner to hire men who are able and
willing to do the .-lavish toil, who have
not the mental ability to live without it—
men who must toil und be directed by oth
ers, ut least until they learn to direct them
selves. Now it seems to us just as pre
posterous for the owner of a farm to act
upon the principle'that he must slave him
self in daily toil, and do his own work “be
cause he can’t a third to hire.” us it would
for the owner of a factory to insist that he
must wash, mid eleanse and card and spin
tile wool, and weave and dye and dress
the cloth, because 1 by so doing he could
save the wages of laborers. In each case
both owners would gain ten-fold their prof
it by never touching their own'hands to
the work, if they have intellect enough to
direct the hands of others. There is not
only no need of owners of farms making
themselves toiling slaves, but it is extreme
folly for them to do so ; and it is equally
as folly for them to put themselves in a
ferment because they cannot get as much
work as they desire out of those they hire
to do their farm labor. Let the owner en
lighten his own mind, and let the light of
that slunc upon his laborers, and both will
soon grow better satisfied. The ignorant
slave spends hours of toil with the united
strength of four men to move a stick or
stone that one man and science moves in
a few minutes without any great expendi
ture of his own strength. The oft-told sto
ry of the Yankee traveler who looked over
the Mohawk Dutchman's fence at the fruit
less labors of several men and oxen to get
a bowlder out of its bead to haul it away
to some other spot merely to get it out of
the way, a work which he contracted to
do alone for five dollars and his dinner,—
and accomplished before night, is only a
simple illustration of what power intellect
has over mere brute force. The Dutch far.
mer was one of those willing slaves who
work hard and think little. The Yankee
was one who thought how easy to dig a
hole in the soft earth by the side of the
rock and roll it in, and cover it out of
sight with a portion of the earth, the sur
plus being beneficial to spread about or
useful to fill other holes. It is the want
of thought, more than hands, that creates
so much toil; that makes of men slaves.
A thoughtful application of means within
the power of every farmer, without slav
ish labor, will secure him all the comforts
and conveniences of just such a borne as
every American farmer should enjoy, but
does not, and: give him a little surplus to
assist his children to commence living in
the same way, or secure to himself com
forts after the active time of life is past,
as well *s provide for the needs of the part
ner of his home after he is called away
from its superintendence or intellectual
management. Is it not a fact deeply to be
lamented, that we have many good, wor
thy owners of farms all over the country
who actually toil more hours in a year,
and enjoy the bounties of Providence less
than the slaves of cotton plantations ? Do
such men ever think—think what they
live for ? Will they think that slavery, in
whatever form, is not a God-ordained core
dition for human beings^
