Th. Question of Labor In the South
Vite Two Vtewi.
The Joly number of De Bow's Review
contains two articles which very well set
forth tho opposing views on the great
question now attracting the attention of
the South and of the whole country.
Under the head of "Science and the Me?
chanic Arts against Coolies," the writer
gives 4h? argument against the Chinese.
As regards Qon?idoraticus political and
social, ho assumes that no one would
wish to itapori Asiatics. From them we
could not have amalgamation with our?
selves in 'sentiment, in interest, in desti?
ny. Hs titian considera the remaining
inducement-that the South needs addi?
tional labor. On this subject, the writei
makes the point that the effect of an in?
creased number of laborers would be tc
cheapen cotton, for the benefit of thc
Northern and European manufacture)
rather than of the South. He contend?
that the Southern people are now mak
ing double as muoh money as formerlj
by the culture of staples, with half th?
laborers formerly employed. This being
the case, ha suggests that to inorease om
manufactures would be better than t<
augment our agricultural force. To il
lustrate the proposition: Say that tin
present value of cotton and sugar is 250.
000,000 of specie. Is it not a better sys
tem to convert cotton into cloths and t<
refine sugar, and thus double their va
luce, than to rely upon added agrionltu
ral labor alone to keep up our exporte<
values and our domestic prosperity? I
it not better to get more manufacturer
and mechanics than to get more agricul
turul laborers? Is it not better to get th
Saxon army of artisans than the Asiat!
horde of field hands? These views dc
serve consideration. The writer nea
proceeds to argue that, whilst for mon
and political reasons the introduction c
Asiatic labor would be unwise, the ec(
nomio?l, industrial expectations of thoE
who adv?cate it will not be realized. B
contends that ooolio labor hore oann<
compete .with coolie labor in India; tin
to mako moro cotton and BUgar .woul
be to cheapen the rates of these staph
for tho b?n?flt of the Northern and Ei
ropean' consumer, at the cost, to us, <
domestic peace and security. In fin
Ute writer.suggests that we look to otb?
means than cotton, and sugar, and rio
to accomplish our redemption and boil
up our prosperity. Why make ever
thing hinge upon increasing the numb
of cotton bales, and hogsheads of suga
and tierces of rice, to the neglect of tl
loom and the anvil? If, he pertinent
asks, tho Southern people have all tl
elements for manufacture in their mide
all the facilities for commerce in the
ports, why should they be restricted
cultivate cotton and sugar for the rest
the world, or why should the rest of tl
world seoure oheap cotton and sugar 1
making tiie South the Botany Bay
Asia and Africa? The query is pointe
So muoh for one side of this great que
tion.
Per contra. Another writer, nnd
the heading of "Southern Labor," tak
the opposing view. Referring to tl
broad acres of the South that lie unct
tivated, where the summer sun parsly2
the energy of the white laborers, ai
where the negro has been arrested in 1
labors and doomed to extermination,
asks, what is to be dono? The produ<
of Southern soil and manufaotures bei
scaroely one-fourth of what they won
have been, had no disturbance tak
place. What is to be done? This writ
has no difficulty in answering the na?
tion. The Chinaman is the God-t
pointed man. The South is the field
his labors. China teems with its n
lions. Seo the mystery unravelled,
the wonderful adaptation of means
ends. The Pacific Bailioad is bu:
Here is the soil-thero aro tho laboro
and the power of steam brings th?
together. Tho immigration from 1
West Eastward begins. China empt
her crowded ohildren into the valley
the Mississippi ; upon the Pacific slo]
, 'i' m i i i i J '
apoii cu? Aiiamio coe??, end she Sooth
the wl^^
of the nation and ibo work. He argues
that Chios labor is the ono thing need?
ful, and that no political diffioultioa need
be apprehended. Hence he concludes
that tho Chinaman comes holding Alad?
din's lamp in his hand for the South and
the country at largo. He comes with
countless blessings in his train. Add?
ing tea, wine, opium and ramie to the
cotton, sugar, rice and tobacco of the
South. Asiatic culture will pour into
the natural coffers a golden shower from
abroad, and make this section pre-emi?
nent in agriculture, and the wealth of
Nineveh, Babylon. Borne and Britain
will bo poor compared with that to be
vouchsafed to the nation. Such, in brief,
is the other view of the question before
the country.
The remedies aro before tho people.
We know that white immigration is a
good thing. We hope that, if tho China?
man comos, he may prove a blessing and
not a curso. Lying, as the South now
does, "Uko a disabled and bleeding
giant, preyed upon by vampires," lot us
devoutly hope that relief may come from
God's appointed source. But above all,
let her not forget that in this great in?
dustrial battle now waging, it holds that
"Who should bb free, themselves muet strike
the blow,"
.Weekly Kc view of thc Statte Press.
The Newberry Herald calls attention
to the proposed cotton seed oil mill to bc
located here, and commends tho sub?
ject to planters as promising a oheap

mooratic organization there and else
where, and asks Edgefield to imitai*
Abbeville in the matter of a Count]
Agricultural Fair. It reports all quie
about Edgefield jail-its military ocou
pation not disputed.
The Marion Star wisely suggests tba
the people of the South should not lool
to cotton alone, but should turn atten
tion to other branches of industry. Th.
proposition to repeal or suspend th
present township law, it properly re
gards "a move in the right direction.1

as essential to the country's welfare. Th
engineer may, indeed, yet be hoiste
with his own petard, and the Souther

The Yorkvilie Enquirer, on the su!
jeot of the land tax and its burdens, su
goats that the laborers be required by
general arrangement to participate ;
those burdens. It states that there is
growing conviction that those who sba

share for the privilege of making oro

receive one-third of the crop, let them ]
