the equivalent of three or four Northern mudsills, and who are afraid of soiling their lily-white kands, that if they'would go to work themselves—if they would take up the shovel and tlio hoe, do the planting, cultivating, weeding and harvesting, and accustom themselves to work their lands as industriously as these Germans do, they would not be dependent upon black labor. The whole trouble in Alabama and the other cotton States is the laziness of the whites and their determination to live off the toil of others. It is part and parcel of the old heredity of slavery, and until that policy is changed Alabama farms will continue going to decay. White immigrants are not likely to be attracted by such conditions. Tlie remedy will be found when the lazy whites go to work and pull up “the briers that are cumbering tlie garden of beauty.3’—Chicago 'Tribune.
