THE LABOR QUESTION.
Ooolldge Say* Southern Mill# Are Su
perior to tho Average Northern Mill.
A Boston ?pooial says: T. Jefler?on ,
Coolidgo, treasurer of the Ainoskeag
Mills, Manchester, li?g returned from
A trip to Florid*. He says of the gen.
oral mill nituation: "On the muiuten*
unco of the recluotion in wagon depends
tho existence of the New England mills,
and {striking against a reduction is a
miatuke on tho part of tho operatives
who are attomntiug to kill the goose
that lays the goldou egg. If tho will
hands desire to bo out of employment
they aru taking tho right course iu
striking/
y Nearly all of the Southern mills are
prosperous. The biggest mills are earn
ing largo dividends, but ar$ rarely pav
ing i) por cout, as they are reserving
their excess profits to lucrease their
q^iok capita).
'Tho Southern mills get some advan
tage from cheaper ooal and cheapor cot
ton, but t|ie wago question is tho great
est in their favor. If it wove not for tho
lower wages paid in tho South, our
millH would compete with thom without
trouble.
".Southern mills, having beon [bxxilt
later, are superior to tho avdra?o
Northern mill. Tho best Southern op
oratives turn out Just a* much work as
tho Northern operatives and are just as
intelligent. "
"CUT DOWN TIIE ACKEAOE."

Seems Now About to be Obeyed,
A letter from Augusta, Ga., states:
"The farmers are saying but little in
regard to tho acreage through tho

great reduction iu the acreage aftor it
is compared with tho last season's.
Vory few mules aro being sold, lytid
guano ealos will bo cut almost in half.
Farmers will not be able to got supplies
on tho present basis of cotton, and they
have littlo or no supplies on hand. They I
aro calling, on factors and merchants I
and going fiomo with empty wagous. j
Only tho bust oloment of tho plant- i
ers will bo ablo to get supplies with
which to raise a crop, and they will j
havo to wait until lato in tho spring
for the same, and then in limited j
amount.
Many of tho bettor clats of farm
ors have planted considerable wheat
and oats this winter iu sections never )
beforo utilized for this purpose.
Guano manufacturers ate talking of
shutting down thoir factories, o wing to
tho small demand for fertilizers.
Trices have beon reduced considera
