One of the paucngers wbo pitied
tbrouli Utah on n train bound for
Man Kranclrco tbo first of the present
week waa Uharlcs 11. Carlisle, ol Itlo
do Janeiro, Urar.ll. lie Is on Ills way
to Chins nnd Japan U complain ar
rangements for a stupendous oolonlta
tlonjroject (or Hiulli America. Ho
Intends to secure laborers far tho vast
co(rreplanlBtlonaorilraill,audexpccU
to bring In It) ),00J Chinese nn I Japa
nese eaoli year for tho next rlvo or six
years. Mr. Carlisle Is aingulno of
turceiF, and thinks ho has solved the
problem ol what shall be dono with tho
Utile yollow men ol the orient.
Tho lesson assigned (or this vast
schemo ol Importing laborers Is the
straits to which Iho largo colleo plant
eta o( llraill ro driven to aecuro em
t loyes. The native laborers mid form
er slaves (rout Africa, It la said, no
longer erditra the tasks set for them.
Tho Africans congregate In little
villages lu the woods, nnJ labor only n
sulTUIent length of time to obtain
mtanaol existence In n sort of semi
bar I orous fashion; whllo tho native
Drsilllan aro csrcful t avoid, where
over ieslbl, Iho grinding toll that Is
expected cf laborers ou tho planta
tions. The statement Is made that during
Iho past year there weru lost In llraill,
brcauso of lusufllcle. t help to harvest
lists crop, rcr 01)0,003 bags of coflee,
whllo In other Hauth American
countllts another O),00) bags went to
wiate. This amount rcprn.oiils to tho
lltntcraauaitiiallossol $S,OJO,000 lo
510,000,00). rias waste In the two
I receding years was even In excels ol
Hut, but the last year this was reduced
somen hat by llio Importation of Her
man and Italian laborer. II Is statu 1
that during two years 183,030 Italians
nud half that numbsr of Hermans
wtre brought over. The firm with
which Mr. Carlisle has bccia connected
now hat a contract with tho govern
ment fir 10,000 moro Uermans and
Italians. In securing these people
iLey are ottered free Ira spirtitlon and
all ex, ecse paid alter they laud nnd
uu II they aro engaged to won.
There Is oue feature, however, which
la sum to mako ttio 1-uropsana ob'cci
tlonablo ns contract labors. That Is,
that the mil arliy ul tlieai, aftor they
bare been in tbo country one or two
years, or lonj uuotight) gnlu nn un
derstanding ol utlalrs, ooncelva an
Idea that they can batter thoraselves,
and embark In their own entirprlsos.
lu this way they gradually drift Into
thocltlca or estates of their own, and
thus (lantatlon laborers booams a
scarcity.
The llrailllan government lias taken
a step lu the way of encouraging Im
migration from China by arranging
(or consuls lu every Important city la
the Chinese empire, llarou de LaJrlo,
at tbo head of an embassy from llraill,
Is now In Kuope, ou Ills way to Teklu,
to negotiate a treaty with the emperor
and I.l lluug Chang, A stipulation
Is to be made that the laborers Im
ported aro to bo free, though their
labor lata be secured ns cheaply aa pos
sible. A lino of steamers with
government auppoit Is also to Iw put
on between llio deJauelro nnd Hong
Kong, going via Capo of Good Hope.
Four vessels have already been chart
ered lu London (or tills purpose. They
aru expected to carry is freight from
llraill coLTee, sugar, caooa and rubber;
anil on Ihu irturu from Chlnre will
brlug coal, r loo and coolies. Thosteam
ship lino la also uuthorltoJ to open up
a tradowlth New Urloans nnd along
tbe coast at ojuvenletil ports.
Whether the Importation (JUIneso
nnd Japanese laborers to Houlh Ameri
ca will furnish to tho plantations the
cheap labor duilroJ, miy boun open
question. Tho fstt U that tbu planters
ol llraill have not ytt loarncd to treat
their laborers other than m serfs. Tho
emancipation of the slaves by Horn
Tedro seems not to liavo dawncl
In Its (ull force ns yet upon
the plantation owners. In 1691
a large number of laborers from
Uoglaud wero taken under contract to
llraill. lust year the llrlt'sli govern
ment brought them back, or what was
left ol them. The sun hots told a
tale ol horrible sullerlug. They staled
that they wure placed uuder taskmas
ters who drova them 1 1 work llku so
msuy caltlf, and used olube and whlS
lo them utter tho "uljgtr.drlver"
ta.lilon of palmy slavery times. Uuder
this treatment women aud children
sank and died under tliu most painful
circumstance, nnd even elrong men
sjou collapsed. Iflhoaamu methods
ure jursued with tho German lend
Italia n label ers, and from Information
received there Is no doubt they are
to agrrntixtent, tbe cllirt ol Ihuo

though they may havo bien at tho

and counttlcs. To speak ol this subject
In Ha true light would bo to mention
that knowledge thai comes from
above, revelstlon, which la one ol
Iho most dinicult doctrines of the Cos
pel (or tbe world to understand, Its
dllUculty lies In comprehending the
faot that all knowledge comes from
Uod, and that when It has been re
vealed, all men have not believed tt to
ben revelation at the timo. The truth
la corroborated ns far back as tbe days
nf Adam. When tho ottering of
Alol was accepted ol tho 1ord,
that kuowlodge was communicated
by revelation, through which
Abel received power from Uod. Culu
knew tho Ijord and belloved In his
father Adam's icrllture, or revelation,
but thinking oue revelation waa aulll
cleut he became olTendcJ, disbelieved
nn I ultimately committed murder.
Noah waa given lower lo prepare
and save himself and family from Ibe
destruction of tbe Hood, through his
knowledge of revelation of what was
to take ploco upon the earth. Hut the
Inhabitants In the Isoschlnu dlsponsn
Hon ecotled at the great Trophet's
revelations. They did not deny that
Adam was the first man, made lu the
Imago of Uod. that l.noch walkodand
talked with (Jo 1 and was translated to
heaven without tastlugdcaln, yet they
could not see the necessity lor UeW
rovelatlou. Bald they, "Websllevu ns
our fathers did, but away with new
revelations." The laord look tbmu at
their word and the llooi swept both
revelstlon nnd the ople away.
How was It with Abraham? When
this Trupbtt, iVhoseseed said tbu Lord
should be as numerous as tbe sands ou
the seashore, made tho announcement
that Uod bad appeared to) 111 in lu the
plains of Slam re, that ho had seen
angels and had partaken ol faod aud
drink with them, he was laughed at,
nud bis religion turowu aside, because
he had received new revelations. The
revelations ol Adam, l.noch and Xouh,
no one doubted. Hooch's pillar aud

to time, weiewllnisais that Iho uld
revolutions weru true. Hut what
proof had they ol tho divinity of
Abraham's mission? They had many
uvldences but rrjeoted all of them and

When Moses appeared fresh Irom the
prisence of Uod, with new revelations
aud calculations, and tested tue folly
ud wlukidnetscf n corrupt uiurtaud
people by destroying them through
Ibe power of Uod, with plaguia and
miracles, the Inhabitants opposed him
as Calu did Abel. Thu wise meu
sought his llfu btcauso they could not
bear Information direct from heaven.
TuecuiiLlng priests of .Crypt, as well
as those of the land of Lauaan, were
living witnesses of tho power he ells
played, yet the samo spirit if fanatl

In the history of thu children ol Israel
prior to tbo at pearance ot the Messiah;
or tho records sluw that no sooner did
they Lcglu to be pulled up with self
suuiclency than they honored the old
revelations In word, or prolesslou, and
sloned tho l'ropbels that camu with
new one. When the Havlor eame lu
the flesh this samo prlucljlu that has
been traced from ago to age waa most
algnally manifest among tbo Jews.
Iloasilng of the old rcvolatlone,
they made long prayers (or
n prstsnse, and crossed sea and land
to make proselytei; yet when new
revelation was Introduced by tbe
Havlor they called It blasphemy and
cried "Away wllli lilra, cruelly hire!"
Is it to be wondered at that Taul, see
ing the Halnts beginning to question
the necessity lor more revvUtlou,
should Inform Timothy that "perilous
times rhoul I come; for meu shall be
lovers of their own selves, unthankful,
unholy, lovers of jleasuro more than
lovers ol Uod?"
When one pauses to consider these
facia nnd exemplify the truth nt tbe
aaylng "History repeals Itself," It
dors not seem atrauge that the same
courso woo taken nnd tho same lan
guage used when tho Hook of Mormon
was Introduced over sixty years ago.
The people of tbekoneratlou lu which
the hook was lntroluci believed lu
old rovilatlon, aud blowed tho old
I atrlarchs, pilgrims nud Aoitles; but
new ones iliey could not believe lu;
yet In their dive rallied forms of fallli
and worship, from tbe ioor Ignorant

shades aud variations of religious Le
tter, thu Inhabitants ol the earth furn
ished Inconlertible evidence ol the
truth ol the slate aiont thsl colitlnuid

That UoJ did reveal Hlmsoll to man

millions, hut thai ilu should now do so
Is looked Uon as strangoaud Improb
able; ytt it Is doubllul II there was
ever u period lu tho world's history
when revelation was so nuch needed
as It Is at the present time.
When the state ol the rellglousworld
