THE IiABOR QUESTION.
Plain Questions and practical Answers.
Edited by William E. Barnes. With an
Introduction by Richard T. Ely. in. 1;
and Special Contributions by James A.
Waterwotfu. and Fred. Woodrpw. New
York: Harper & Brothers. 1888, pp. 8d0.
We doubt if as good a book on the
great question of the age has been
published as this one. There have
been very many works issued that
discuss the "Labor Question," but
the little volume under consideration
is the most compact, the most prao.
ticaJ, the most common-Bense like
and at the same time the most ex
haustive. 'This may seem strange
when the size of the volume is re
garded; but in fact it is multum in
parvo. Its plan gives it a great ad
vantage over ordinary works. The
Introduction by Dr. Ely is thought
ful, fresh and suggestive. The se
cond paper, by Mr. Waterworth, is
excellent. It is a succinct but care
ful review of the history of the ques
tion of employer and laborer, and is
singularly luminous, forceful and en
tertaining. Every politician m the
land ougfit to read this essay, if no
other. Editors 'may learn no little
and have their views broadened and
dee'pehed Ty this one contribution.
Mr.,Waterworth "shows that capital
ists have been much to blame all
along the past in dealing with their
fellow-men. He says " that hereto
fore the capitalist has utterly failed
to treat "the laborer as a man." The
mistake has been tremendous. It
haa sown the field full of cockles and
bitter weeds. He insists that man,
the laborer, must be treated "as well
as other source of power" a horse
. or a steam engine for instance. Let
us quote a passage just here. He
says
Physically the man's condition must be
kept up to the best possiDie pitcn; intellect
uallv. likewise, and how few capitalists
think of the soul's life of the employe, he
must be kept in as eood case. His mental
health must be provided for by education.
at least by the literature of his business, for
the laborer is like the capitalist, a 'moral
power, sensitive to right and wrong He
must be influenced to right and withdrawn
from wrone. or vou will have a destroyer.
not a worker. But is the economic ground
the only ground on which thia equitable
treatment of tfie laborer is necessary t Nay,
this man is your brother. There has
been no- wrong, nor misery, nor injustice
recorded in the history of the Labor Ques
tion! that nas not sprung from ignoring the
fact that tha capitalist and the laborer are.
after all, brethren. Let us restore the
Brotherhood, and the problem. is solved.
f- . . . - .nm TlSrtlcularl-B-
valuable by a series of symposia,
. There is one of the political econo
.mists; then another of manufacturers;
then another of laboring men. You
thus get the frank opinions of various
classes in answer to five questions
propounded to each. Thus you ob
tain the views and convictions and
experiences of thoughtful men ; of
business and great light is thrown
thereby upon the '.'Labor Question."
You have before you the results of
much "observation and . reflection
from a large number of minds. This
gives remarkable interest and value
to the work. One of the questions
discussed is "Trades Unions and
Arbitration." Laymen " and clerics
all contribute to the discussion.
The age of serfdom has passed.; In
England in 1824 the laborers were
freed and from that time until now
there has been great progress, both
for England and the working clas
ses. The condition of the working
people in 1886 is tenfold, at -least,
better than it was in 1820. There
is not the slightest cause for doubt
at this point. Great good has been
derived from arbitration, from co
operation and from profit-sharing.
But there is still much room for
improvement and there is constant
progress.
The laboring classes are being
steadily elevated by education and
Christian influences. They are learn
ing more and more what a grand
. thing it is . to be a man a citizen.
Says Dr. Ely: .
"Men must be taught that it is a grand
. thing to serve God In the State which He
in His beneficent wisdom instituted, and
that to betray a trust in the divine State is
as heinous an offense as to be false to duty
in the divine Church."
In a great, free country like our
own, where every man is free, and
is left uninterfered with by a harsh
Government as he i workB out his des
tiny; where the school houses abound
, and education is provided for all ir
respective of - "race or previous
condition of servitude;", where men
are in no danger of starving if they
will only workr where religious in
fluences abound, and where all are
equal before the law, there is no
earthly excuse for trade disturbances,
for violence, for bitter antagonisms
between labor and capital, for disas
trous strikes and scenes of riot. It
is said that strikes .alone have cost
England $200,000,000 in fifteen years
or less. - - . '
The capitalists of this country
must study more carefully this labor
and wage tjuestion For six hun
dred years among English speaking
people there has been a struggle be
- tween capital and labor. They are
not antagonistic And ought not to be
made so. All antagonism uu
and hostility should be eliminated in
this country. It can bo done. Bat
capitalists must be men of broad and
humane views, and labor muBt be
just and intelligent But get the
book and read it carefully. We
wish every employer and every work-
ingman in the land would read it nn-
derstandingly and avail nimseu .oi

DEMOCRATIC.-
Some of tbei Kiokers Jmay be anx-
ions to make it appear that the Dem
ocrats in North Carolina are as ex
travagant as the Republicans. If so,
it is misleading. Take: the Legisla
tures. In 1868 69, Republicans in
control, the Legislature pat the peo
ple $430,958.60. The Legislature of
1874, 1876, 1879, 1880, 1882, cost ail
told, $376,009.56. The; Democrats
had control. So the entire ; Legisla
ture from 1874 to 1882 five separate
Legislatures -cost $55,000 ksa than
one Republican Legislature cost. .
As to taxation. The (Republicans
levied 80 cents on one hundred dol
lars worth of property, ias 1869. They
collected more1 than ono -million dollars.-':"
"; '. ' ' ;;A '! '' ' ' ':;
In 1883, the 'Democrats; levied 25
cents on every! one hundred aouars
of property. It is now proposed to
reduce the tax of 1886r7 20 per
cent, or more.) So when you . hear
men talk of Democratic extravagance
show them the! facts that taxation
in ;18S5 was more than; two-thirds
less than it was in . 1869 when the
Radicals bossed that State,ruined its
credit, impoverished its people and
bankrupted the Treasury

BB CONSISTENT.
In 1 884, the! Democrats, of North
i1 1
Carolina, in convention assembled,
adopted unanimously a
favoring the distribution of the sur
plus then in the United States Trea
sury. They declared that there was
"more than i a hundred"; millions of
dollars in the Treasury whting from
the pockets of tlie people by unjust
taxation on the part of the Republi
can party." J True, every word. And
that very mirplns was in tne same
Treasury when the Congress three
months -ag4 passed a resolution to
distribute $10,000,000 a month of it.
This failed because the President re
fused te sigh it. Since he pocketed
that bill a
call for $35,000,000 has
been made,

It is time that the Democrats
ceaseu io emulate tne oaa exam
ple of the Republicans. Inj 1884, the
North Carol ian Democrats: declared
the surplus then in the Treasury bad
been "wrung from the pockets of the
people by unjust taxation on the part
of the Republican party" and this
was true. But during. th last two
years this surplus has increased in the
same "unjust" way, and during that
time the Democrats have hid charge
eighteen months. Is it not time to
stop this wringing process?; W&at
say Democrats in 1886? " But for Mr.
Randall and bis clique of Kickers the
House' would' have passed L bill cut
ting down the surplus $20,000,000.
It ia very proper and necessary
that the Democratic party naw in
uuarge 1.1 tne executive iana one
House of the Legislative branch of
the Government should notjeounten
ance or favor any "unjust taxation"
like that practiced by "the
Republi-
can party," and which "wrung from
the pockets of the people"
tens of millions of dollars that were
not needed. It robbed the people
making them poorer, andjdid not
enrich the Government. Let us be
consistent

of Wilson, Johnston, Cumberland ana
Sampson, will be opened for business on
Oct .btr 1st. Yesterday Mr. A. J. Gal
loway, of the Atlantic Coast Line, was in
our city, visited our cotton houses and
talked with our dealers as to the advan
tages presented to them' by the opening up
of this country by the completion of this
road. It is seventy two miles long, and
runa through an almost new country, bo far
as railroads make a country new. It opens
ud a fine field to the enterprise or all
classes of our business, and it is hoped that
Norfolk merchants will not be slow to take
advantage of the opportunities presented:
On the opening 01 tne roaa a aeiegauon 01

trust, too, that j the freight rales (and we
believe they will) will lie as low to Wil

less to Wilmington than to Norfolk.

dLLi OF A COLOR.
Labor Circle" Agitated by the Arrlrai
of Stevedores . from Norfolk Tho
Canae of the icronble.
.The arrival of a party of colored steve
dores from Norfolk Ya.r Saturday night
(as mentioned in Sunday's Stab) created no
small sensation in colored circles. The
colored assemblies of the Knights of La
bor held an "emergency -meeting Sunday
and discussed the matter, and it was un
derstood that further deliberations, would
be had last night with representatives from
the white assemblies in the city.
Yesterday, morning the " Norfolk steve
dores, thirty-five in' number, marched on
board the steamer Carbis Bay, lying at one
of the wht.rvea of the Champion Compress
Co., ready to go to work at loading thia
vessel with cotton. They were met by a
delegation from the colored stevedores of
the city and were finally prevailed upon to
abandon the vessel. Twenty of the men
from Norfolk are Knights of Labor, and
these promised to return home by last
night's train on the . Atlantic Coast line,
tickets having been procured for them by
the Laborers' Union, to which organization
the stevedores belong. , - : -
In anticipation of a row on the wharf a
large number of. colored people were as-,
semblcd in the vicinity of the Compress j
but there was no trouble, a squad of police
men under command ' of Sergeant Capps
sufficing to preserve the peace.
The siiuation is a peculiar one, and is
brought about simply through dUtrust by
the colored stevedores of one of their num
ber. As stated- by. one of the men, it
amounts - to this : Wm. Howe, a
boss stevedore, contracted to stow cotton
on the steamer Carbis Bay at the rate of
llhirty, cents per bale, and agreed to pay the
men he employed four and five dollars per
day ; the head workman of each"; gang of
atevedorea to receive the latter price. The
stevedores claim that Howe cannot afford
to pay this price for workmen, at the rate
he ia receiving per bale for loading the vea
sel, and notified him on Thursday or Fn-
day last of their unwillingness to work
longer unless their py was guaranteed by
the captain or consignees. In this emer
gency Howe tent to Norfolk and engaeed
the services . of thirty -five capable work
men, promising to pay them the same price
as agreed upon with the Wilmington stove
dores. Th price heretofore paid ; the
"oor,'' stevedores for loadinc cotton, it is
said, was never less than forty cents per
balo, at which figure, It is claimed, they
cm barely afford to pay their men the
wages above mentioned
, No work was done on the Bteamer Carbis
Bay yesterday ; but with the return of the
Norfolk men. it iaexpectei that the trouble
will be settled, and work will go on to-day
as usual. ;

with murder in causing the death of an in
fant by administering a dose of laudanum,
through her counsel waived sending in a bil
of indictment and plead guilty to a charge
of manslaughter. Thj Court sentenced the
prisoner to confinement in jail for one
month. The prisoner was employed in the
family of Rev. Aldridge, colored, as nurse,
and on one occasion, irr the absence of the
parents, gave the child a dose of aBsafceti
da, but, with what was claimed to be crim
inal negligence, administered it from a cup
in which' there was a small quantity of
laudanum, which caused the child's death.
It was shown that the girl did not intend to
give the child laudanum, and the absence
of intent waa given: as the reason why the

vous in view of Wiggins' predicted disas
ter ior to-morrow. Scientists say these
shocks will keep up for, an indefinite time
and that there la nothing alarming in the
recurrence of Bhocks. r Barring the shock
to-day the city is quiet, and ihe work of
repairing houses and extending relief ia go
ing on without interruption. The weather
is clear and warm, and the indications are
favo-able for a pleasant day to-morrow.
There were three slight shocks at Sum

Chakleston, Sept. 29. TJp to 7 o'clock
this evening there bad been no recurrence
of earthquake shocks, and the city had
quieted down. Wiggins' predictions have
proved to be utterly wide of the mark
The community feels greatly relieved that
there have been no shocks to day. and it is
expected that within another week if there
be no more shocks, the city will have re
sumed its normal condition. The work of
rebuilding and repairing has been going on
all day without interruption, and there is a
growing feeling of confidence throughout
tne city. : -
- Dp to this evening the Relief Committee
had received 1,875 applications for relief
money from property holders who are un
able to repair thir own shattered houses;
the total of the amounts asked for reaching
about $800,000. The relief fund has not
yet reached $500,000, and the amount con
tributed is not sufficient to meet the neces
sities of the case. The Relief Committee
feel that the money so generously contri
buted by people of . tho United States
is intended only for use in cases of actual
distress, : and adopted to-day a form of
voucher , which covers all the essential
points in repairs of houses, and which is
absolntely a cash voucher upon the com
pletion of work and its approval by the
committee. - It is expected that the whole
number of applications far relief for this
purpose will not exceed 1.600, and it is the
intention ; of the committee to pay - out
money as rapidly as the voucheis mature.
The committee have also determined to su
perintend the repairing of houses in certatn
cases. - Expert mechanics employed to ex
amine damaged buildings have so far re
ported upon 400 applications, k-'-
. The Committee on Immediate Relief has
distributed every day for the past three
weeks, small sums not exceeding ten dol
lars, to persons in actual distress.
. Miss Clara Barton and Dr. Hubbell, rep
resentatives of the Red Cross Society, left
the city for Washington to-day, having de
cided that the field of charity work was
fully-covered. During their stay here they
were the guests of the city, and before leav
iog Miss Barton gave $500 to Mayor Cour
tenay, which waa distributed among the
five charitable institutions of the city as a

that the girl had been criminally assaulted
before she was killed. Titus was arrested;
He was committed to the county jail here.
and a week later the grand jury formally
