IMMIGRATION.
'the Inducements which Louisiana holds forth
to the Immigrant are manifold, and so manifest
to the residents of the State that these resi(dents
themselves seem to be under the impression
that her advantages must also be platil appar
entto all the world.
Her soil of surpassing fertility, her rich pro
dnuatons of a temperate and tropic zone. her
climate genial and healthful, her unlimited fa
oiltles for cheap water communlcation and
Irrigation, with all her vast resources utiliznd
and developed, should render this State the
most attractive portion of the American Conti
ment.
Now that perfect, pence prevails wllthi her
borders the reign of law and order has been re
established and civilization has resumed its
away, every objetion to settling inI the HSiat has
been removed and there should he no unnatu
ralobsta.nle to keep out the westward tide of
emigration that has for so many years swept
pastthis magnificent region on to the plains
and pral ries of Texan.
Before the sudden and complete revolution
irng of the labor system in the Houthern States.
there was not that great need of Immnigration
whleh exists therein ot the present day. nnd
whin4 has already partially compensated for the
greAttlos in lalbr resulting from the late civil
war. The reliable compulsory labor system
thrl prevailing, though wrong on strictly
bumlaae principles, was highly advanta
geose to the complete development of the
UIlothern country, and while it brought a corn'
Ioritble SnDport to the labh ring class and ad
wa.ed the wealth of the landowners, it created
a l~0e a'nd valuable tI rade with oither sections
nd eerved a valuable end of political economy,
thatof utilizing nearly all the available muscle
of the rural population. When the labor sys
tem was radienlly changed, a very large part of
this available muscle chose to remain idle and
dependent upion that portion which worked for
sustenance, or it lived by constant depreda
tions on the fruit of honest toll, or worse.
by the rascally trade of corrupt polities.
Yet many point to the fact that the crops pro
dueed by the Mouth now are as lanre as those
produced before the war unlder the old labor
sylstem, and hence argue that the old laboring
dlss is as industrious ioluntarlly throughout
our entire section as it was under coerroion.
Bat the former laborinag clment, though it has
mndoubtedly Increased in numbers. Idoes not,
and will not, produce more than one-half as
as much now wlhen working for themselves as
they did formerly when compelled to work for
foers. Fortunately for the South. immediately
a-ter the war almost enough white labor was
obtained to supply the great deflclency in pro
duation which would have resulted had the
eotltry rolled entirely upon the former labor
tagelass to till the fields. Now an annual cot
te. erop of 4,rnu.ecn bales is made, but more
the 9,00osa bales are cultivated and harvested
br white labor, so' is also a very large propor
tioa of the sugar crop of Louisiana the rice
e.rop of Georgia and Louisiana, and every
other staple which was formerly almost exclu
alvely the product of negro labor.
. Of this large element of white labor now cul
lvaiting the great cotton, sugar, and rice fllhls
of the South a fair proportion is made up of the
Immigrants who have settled in the Southern
States since the war. Texas, whose production
ha tincreased far more rapidly than that of any
other State, received a far lager proportion of
immigrant labor. whose vilue cannot be toldl.
It hu not only vastly increased the productive
aeaeand prosperity of that State, hut its ben,
lolit effects have hen felt in remote saetions.
and.he Texas trade, based principally on thei
prodcts of immigrant labor, has iueconmo an
objedtof contention between tlhe greot cit ies of

There are hundreds of thousands of acres ol

for a thorough preparation. In tIhe same sec

On Chalas' plantation they appeared
