AGAINST IMMIGRATION.
We notice there is considerable
effort being made to get some
movement on foot to obtain for
North Carolina; a great influx of
laborers. It seems the main point
Is to secure what some are pleased
to call a "good class" of foreign
immigrants, and for which various
inducements are to be offerd. one
one of which we note is ten acres
of land to be given under cerrtain
conditions. Just why it is desir
able to foster any class of immi
grants we are unable to say, but
there are a number or reasons that
suggest themselves. The first is
cash. This can be gained in
severnl ways: by transportation
to-day and hereafter, by the sale
of land and lots, not to the poor
devil to be thus, used as a tool,
but to the capitalist who will be
told that laborers are plentiful
and wages low, thus the 'wages
low" will be used to catch the in
vestor and reduce the wage-earning
of those who are here. Cash,
therefore, is, we believe, the en
, tire game. North Carolina is not
suffering for development, if it
takes 20,000 years to bnug it up
equal to Connecticut?, there would
be no harm done . It is true we
have plenty of developing to do,
but it is also true we have plenty
r of time in which to do it. Hap
piness and contentment is worth
far more than most of theLab
called progress . thaY is grinding

the would-be "benefactors."
As stated above, North Carolina
is not suffering for develmnent.
The natives of the State owe it
to themselves and their posterity,
to see. to it that the wheel of pro
grqss should not roll any faster
than thev are able to utilize her
rf
natural advantages and raw ma
terials. Nevr mind what other
states are doing or how fast they
are burning their little candles,
the hotter and bigger the fire the
more it will consume and iihe
sooner will the end be reached.
The idea of giving some immi
grant ten acres of land when there
are thousands of our natiye
terous; Could ' a more effective
- flPnrV Via made to degrade and
crowd out so many of our own
' people?. How a patriotic son of
North Carolina can be induced to
propose or endorse such a n idea is

ment means, that is where it will
lead. That is where it has led a
number of our large cities and
some states. We need to make
use of the experience of another,
and, we beleive, those who oppose
these efforts of the money mongers
should at once perfect a state
wide organization for tho purpose
of combating them. W have the
power to elect the next legislature
and the nower to instruct our
members tooppose any proposition
that may be offered, and if neces-
saryj- pass restrictive measures.
This was successfully done at
the last legislature, but it seems
the Govener and some others are
determined, to over-ride the peo
pie's wishes, and it is high time
they are reminded that the people
