Dear
Sir:—
:
Man
may
also
ireason
with
his
feliowman,alinoagh
the text above
refars
to the Maker reasoning
with Man.
Reason
is
a rational
faculiv granted
o
man
by.a
Benevolent
Creator,
whareby
1 ROl
ANV ID
the
exercise
of sound
judgment,
harm-
onizing
with,
and
opzrating
for,
an
ultimate
end
or
design,
will,
hetween
man and
man lay th2 foundation
of, and
eventually result
in, effectually bringing
about
peacaful
solutions
of
difficult
and
intricate
probhlems.
This correspondenee
is particularly
ad-
dressed
to
those
of advanced
reasoning
powers.
The
situatisn
to which it refers
need
hardly he
mora definitely explained.
At
the
very
outset
no
ditficulty exists
w lereby
one
may
sav
that
he
sees
not
|
the
roference.
We
have befare
ns
:he
all-absorbing,
the
pressing,
the urgent
topic of rh2 day
A matter
which though
at
first
mayv
be considered
as only affect-
ing the working
or lab-ring
class,
yet
in
its
application
generally,
concerus
the
welfare
of
the
whole
Island.
Seri-
ously,
what
is
to become
of
the
busi-
ness:
the agricultural,
commercial
and
therefore
financial
health
and
pros-
perity
of
St.
Croix;
if
the
only
in
dustry
and
support
of
its
population
remains
in its present
poralytie state
for
a
few
more
weeks?
With
an
already
,
very seanty
rainfali, our cane
crop is far
below
tn 2 casitomary
promise
at
tnis
time
of the year;
and
iacking
the
atten-
tion
necessary;
of
what
use
would
be
even
: sudden
blessinz
of rain
upon
the
already
suffering
growth?
Os
course
those,
whose
hand-wor<
we are
deplov-
ing are (the bulk [ mean)
not of the kind,
nor
of the
will to
take
the situation
de-
picted
in
the
foregoing
opening;
but
surely
there
are
to be
foun!,
a
few
of
the
right
sort,
who,
imbued
with
a
knowledge
of
the
gravity
of
the
situ-
ation,
and
inspired
with
a
desire
to
‘‘reason together’’ with others
represent-
ing
the
other
side
(ihere
need
not
be
more
than
two
or
.hree
on
each
side)
may,
can,
and
will calmly
review,
peace-
fally argue
out,
and
ultimately arrive
at
some
definite,
reasonable
and
agreeable
conclusion,
whereby
an
industrial
catas-
trophe
may
be
averted.
While
at
this
point,
a hint from
an interested.
though
not
a vitaily-eoncerned friend.
it i 3 hoped
will
not be
taken
amiss
or unkindly:
The
basic
objection
to
payirg,
or
the
primary
caus2
why the
land
owner
will
not
pay
longzer,
the
price
of
one
dollar
per day to lst class
laborers,
—ls the
very
large decrease
in the Sugar
value in
the
world-markets,
and
tie
inability
of
Factories
to pay only
about
one
half
of
the cane price
now, of what
the said price
was
when
the
advancz
of
wages
was
made
from fifty cants
to that
one
dollar.
In
most
cases,
the
laborer
understands
the
logiec
of
the
foregoing
argument.
But thare
seems
to be
a
sez2rei,
a kind of
misgiving upon
whien
there
lias
the diifi
cult7 of forcing
an
agreeable
smile
on
his face.
Quashie
has
th= bzlief
that the
Sugar
price
will rise again
and
that
after
the
Planter
gets
him
at
the fifty
cents
per
day, he will and
must
remain
there,
and
moreover
and above
all he
will have
0
claim
nor
share
in the pool from
an
ad
vanced
and rising
sugar-price.
That
is
just
where
the shoe
pinches,
and
alter
all it"is only reasonable
to meet
him, and
he wiil be satisfied if he
is only met
half
way.
The old and
very solid
saying is, "'The
hope
of reward
sweetens
labor’’—Man
under
all
conditions
aand
circumstances
is
man
still,
and
if he
sweats
for
the
benefit
of hjs brother-man;
promise
him
a taste
of thaf benefit,
and
the reciprocal
feeling
with
which
he
will toil,
will
astonish
and
subdue
you,
untii
you
awaken
to the
cause,
namely,
‘‘the
hope
of reward.”’
Suppose
f.i.
that
it
be
suggested
(¢
pay
a stipulated
and
fixed
wage
of silty
cents
for
Ist
class
laborers,
others
in
due proportion,
but with
tbe understand-
ing duly agreed
to that,
for-one year,
as
a
trial
experiment,
whatever
amoant
sugar
be sold for in excess
of
the
value
today —the laborer
shall
be paid
a certain
pr. cent
of that
excess
regulated
prepor-
tionately as
to the class
of laborers-—bu!
.
of course
consideartion
being also
ma
e
'+
should
the price drop anything
below
a
'
certain
reasonable
allowance—some
litile
trouble
must
necesaswly
be
caused
by

iptricate
calculatiows
connecied
with

such
a plan,

a possibly
easy

[

it
will

with
' wuch interest
by
all
your
readers,
Dr.
'
Knudsen
was
esteemed
:
clever
physi-
cian
in those
days.
I well
remember
Honey
being
largely
used
as
a
household
remedy
for
sore
~
throat,
and
heavy
eoid
on
the
chest
ete.
The
efficacy
of
the
cure
is
in
using
the
proper
quantity,
i.e.,
not less than
1 pound
per day.
There
are
other
trou-
bles,
that the
Honey Cere
could be
