So we taileu and soiled over stormy sees, till we cnine to a pleasant land,
Wnere forever were peace and happinosa, and plenty was on each hand;
And no man wronged his brother there, for no man counted it gain
To live by the sweat o f another’s brow, or to joy at another’ s pain.
And the strong nian there was a kindly nmn, and aided the one who was wenk,
And for those lvIn> were simple and trusting men tin ir wiser brothers would sjieak;
And creed, or Color, or land, or birth, caused no man to hale another,
For the same red blood tilled eaoh man’s veins, and every man was a brother.

And the old man there was a blessed man, for toilless he wanted naught,
And vice and toil on the little ones no longer their ruin wrought.
And the feeble in body and mind had there a care no longer for bread;
For out o f the plenty that was for ail, ’ twas theirs the first to be fed.
And oh 1 but that laud was a happy land for those who were sisters of men,
For them was no rnde nnd unseemly toil, in field nor in sweater’s den;
They pawned not body and soul for bread, for woman felt wopian’ s shame,
And dearer than life to the strong man was the good o f his sister's name.

Having become
pessimistic with reference to the
production of prosperity by a sys­
tem calculated, deliberately, to tax
tho people to death, and augment
the wealth of tbo few by special
legislation in their interest, I enclose
a few remarks on the early history
of Coos county and the benevolent
system of some of our magnanimous
philanthropists.
My observation teaches that num­
bers of my fellow citizens will not
look backward and be guided in the
future by tho experience of tho
past. If tho history of Coos county
wore trutfhully written, the gradual
degradation of labor, which has
obtained, would make an interesting
episode. The factors in that lam­
entable feature in the annals of
Coos county, who reaped fortunes
from tho system, are still to the fore;
and, while guilty of despoiling labor,
they assume the roll of monitors
and teach us true (?) patriotism and
how to voto for tho stability of an
honest dollar. I have observed the
tyrannical and dishonest methods
of this class of mountebanks in
feeding their workmen on salt cod­
fish six days in the week, with a little
fresh meat on Sunday, and then
paying them in trade dollars and
silver orders, when silver was at a
discount of ten per cent. Notwith­
standing this abominable feature in
their career, you will often hear
them say that they never robbed
any person. The difference between
scientific absorption and highway
robbery is as clear as glass.
One
requites courage and risk; the other
requires nothing but a cowardly
bulldozer in charge of the exchequer.
Tho decree was, “ Take it or quit
work.”
While a multitude take
political lessons from such hypo­
crites, and sign petitions that have
no other aim in view 1 ut the de­
moralization of labor, but thinly
disguised, prosperity is impossible.
I have always considered the
term, “ pauper labor,” ridiculous
when applied to a laborer who earns
and receives a snlarv. A man em­
ployed in an honest occupation can­
not be classed as a pauper, no mat­
ter bow small the wages be that he
receives. Wo are much given to
egotism and to relying upou mis­
leading persons who have an object
in deceiving. If to employ a man at
the minimum of pay and then to
draw a major part of that out of him
by excessive charges on necessities
approaches the condition of “pauper
labor,” then, it may be seen in all
its beastly deformity on Coos bay.
The
prosperous condition of
Humboldt bay— I now speak of its
early history— was dut to the fact
that the mill operators kept no
stores, and paid their help every
month; consequeutly, labor was free

obtain the best results; business
men in other lines had an oppor­
tunity to enter, and that section
nourished in consequence. N ot so
on Coos bay; coercion was rampant,
the “ truck'’ system supreme, and
the attempt of the employer of labor
to discount bis own orders for the
payment of labor at ten per cent
au accomplished fact. When greed
presses to the front, we witness a
display of unblushing and aggres­
sive gall. Coercion at elections was
rife, and is yet to a certain extent.
I heard an employer of labor, in
1861, make the following remark to
the late Patrick Flanagan:
"M r.
Flanngan, do you vote for General
1 McClellan?
Why, I would dis­ owned absolutely by the mill firm
charge any man in my employ that were towed in and loaded. In this
manner the San Francisco parties
* owuld vote for him.”
