ily extort 'fresh him the confession
that ho is hoping to get some po
sition other than on the farm. He
has mo definiteness as to his future
course, has no special or 'particu
lar vocation ib view, but would
like to be a book-keeper, a bank
accountant, a clerk, or set up a pin-
hook business on his own account
—anything that has the remotest
promise of a little money, except a
position between the plow han
dles.
The universal drift of his ideas
is toward Some indefinite position,
it matters not what, wherein he
sees in his imagination, ease and
comfort of body, and money sasily
made. And why is this?
There is a reason for it, and it
well behooVes the fathers of this
country to consider well this ques
’jDo you know,” he saicj, “that
the soutiiern*people are the most
sociable people in the country?
They carry their sociability into
their business so far as to invaria
bly give preference to dealers with
whom they have a personal ac
quaintance. Nor is this all. The
southern men are always ready to
help a young man of integrity, and
will throw all the business to him
that they cah.’ ?
“Is the southern trade desira
ble?” ' . , ,\ .
“Most assuredly. The southern
people are the most sociable and
pleasant people to deal with that a
drummer finds. We have always
fonnd the merchants honorable
and prompt in their payments.
Our connection is a very large
tion, and to ascertain, if /possible, I.
the.causfe of this almost Universal ®
desire of their sons to abandon the
farm and seek positions elsewhere.
Right at this point is where
many of our sons are making the
greatest mistake in their business
life. The reason we say so is, be
cause the avenues-to every class of
business vocation in this country
is literally lined and over-crowded
with seekers for positions therein.
,Tke supply for such places is far
* greater than the demand, and
hence the vast army of applicants
are'getting in ea'ch other’s way.
The result of this is disappoint
ment and despond to many.
, Now, while this is true as to
business avenues, tlie supply of
young, active, intelligent farmers
is totally inadequate to the de
mand, and the result of both these
combined is, that the whole ma
chinery of prosperity is gefling
very much out of order.
In this way the great, broad,
deep stream that feeds business vo
cations is being narrowed into too
contracted limits.
Again, our sons make a mistake
when they bank on finding ease,
comfort and pleasure coupled with
money-making in the positiohs of
accountants, clerkship^, e,tc.j to
which they aspire, instead, 'they
\yill find that in these positions
they are hirelings, wearing the
yoke of the servants; that when or
dered to go, they must go; and
when ordered to come, they must
come; that the ease, freedom and
, hilarity of the farm life is nowhere
to be found in the business posi
tions or in the turmoil of the busi
ness world; in short, as hirelings
they will find that they are. not
“lords” of what “they survey,” nor
masters of themselves, but are, to
an extent) serfs of those who com
mand both them and tlieir time,
but the young man who begins his
/work on the farm, guides his own
plow,maps out his own programme,
directs his own affairs, exercises
diligence and intelligencS in the
management of his farm affairs,
soon becomes a freeman, and finds
that independence- and freedom
from restrict;. arid those health-
giving, happifying avenues that
are to be found in no other voca
tion. Indeed, it behoove^ .the
fathers of this country to impress
upon their sons, if possible, the
positive truth that no other voca-.
tion promises a surer support, that
none other brings along with its
intelligent prosecution mor.e of the

“How about the progress of the

“The south is making more sol
id' progress now than ever before.
The inducements which you are
offering immigrants, are telling in
many localities. Whenever a
northern man of .^industry settles
in the south the result is benefi
cial in more ways than one. By
contact he instills into his neigh
bors the northern thrift, and in al
most every instance induces other
settlers from the north. There is
onS point, however, about -which
the northern people are mistaken
It is the politics of the south. The
white people vote the democratic
ticket because voting any other
would mean negro supremacy and
carpet-brg rule, with the thousand
other attendant fevils. The only
interest manifested in politics in
the south is a set purpose to pre
vent negro domination. The south
will be rapidly supplied with im
migrants qf better class when it
once gets fairly started, and the
people of the north find out that
they will be welcomed so long as
they behave themselves properly,
and do not attempt to put the ne
groes id control of affairs. I have
noticed, though) that when a north-
ener comes south and remains
here any length of time, he soon
sees that the whites are right in
opposing negro supremacy, and is
soon in full sympathy with any
movement that opposes negro dom
ination.”
“Would immigration to the south
pay the immigrant?”
“1 think it would. Land is
cheap aftd fertile, and the cliinate
is glorious. The immigrants
would not have to endure half the
hardships that they do iri the north
and west. I have faith in the
south and in her fufnre. What the
north needs to do is to become
better acquainted with the south,
taking the people as it finds*them,
generous, hospitable 1 and honora

Some of the democrats declared
that they would as soon sit beside
a colored man or woman i in a rail
way Par as in a street car. The
street car question settled itself
several years ago, and they had no
doubt that the railway car ques
tion Would also,, if the agitation of
other inquiries “too numerous to
mention.” All these letters are
fully answered and pamphlets,
maps and.circulars are sent to all
applicants, and the daily mail
from them would fill a respectable
pouch. Postmaster Roney says if
the thing keeps on as it has for

it was not continued by laws keep
ing the whites and blacks separate.
The colored members said that
they were well treated by 'the
white people in their respective
bounties, and thought that if the
question, whether the two races
should occupy separate or the
same cars, were not kept alive by
the constant agitation of it, there
would very soon be very little
heard hi it: ,,
One of the reasons. advanced for
separating the races in railway
cars was that colored men some
times took seats beside white wo
men with the view of annoying
them. It was answered thu^pow-
dyism of this kind®shonld be dealt
just as rowdyism of any other
kind is.
There is not much probability
that the bill will be passed. It
was referred to a committee with
the understanding that it would
not be brought forward again.
Several race issues of more or
less importance have been satisfac
torily adjusted without any seri
ous trouble, and no doubt others
will be when they present them
selves in such, a shape that their
settlement becomes imperative.
The whites of the south understand
the blacks much better than the
whites of the north do, and they
are much- better qualified in every
way to adjust race differences.
If the Hoars and Chandlers were
sincere in their expressions of
friendship for £hb blacks, they
would let the blacks of the south
alone. They can not help seeing
that the whites and the blacks in
the south are getting along very
well together, and that the blacks
are much better off.tiian they were
when the carpet .bag politicians

alleged grievances, or would be if
federal agents, under the return,

Sherman bill provides, were sent
among them to urge them to vote

It is doubtful, however, if the
republiean leaders have any de
sire to advance the. welfare of the
blacks. They want the black vote.
If they get that-they will be satis
fied, even though the interests of
the blacks ^.re sacrificed in getting
it.

Another letter is from a gentle
man in Washington* D: C., who
wants to know the price of lands,
climate, etc., and who says he can
throw thousands .of foreign immi

next year.
Other letters are from farmers
and mechanics in different States,
some asking for general inform-

of land, some as to rates of trans
