The Opinion of a Veteran.
Said a ,ite; . n n« wrpa,»er man to us
yesterday: “Alter years c. fxperieuce anil
close observation J have al last come to
the conclusion that the afternoon paper
Im the coming pejier. I don’t mean that it
will necessarily distance its morning com
petitor, but it will rival it as a newsjraper
and as a moulder of public opinion. Ten
years ago tin afternoon paper was merely
a supplementary Oiicet; t .day it occupies
a field of Its own, one that must be tilled
and one that is peculiarly attractive, in
Che first place, the public have come to
require the news twice a day, but essen
tially in the ■ veiling, when they have
leisure and inclination for reading. in the
second place, the afternoon field is the
most profitable, and, in the South at least,
ithe afternoon paper, with tew exceptions,
is the only one that is successful from a :
business [siint of view- which, after all,
Is the only sound basis for a permanently
successful and useful newspaper.”
This veteran newspaper man spoke of
no afternoon paper in particular—.though
this remarks were called forth by a dis
cussion of The News' progress during the
past three years but of afternoon tapers
in general. And to Justify his remarks
tie [minted to the afternoon papers of At
lanta. Birmingham, New Orleans. Nash
ville, Memphis, Chattanooga, Knoxville,
Louisville, Savannah, Augusta, Columbus,
and other Southern cities. In each of these
places the afternoon pa[>er is the one that
is making the money and that leads its
eoiHem|s>raries in circulation ami iadver
llsing. Their progress has been so mark
ed during the past few years as to con
vince even the “veterans” of tne profes
sion most of whom had been wedded to
the old idea that the morning paper is the
only paper—that the afternoon paper is
taking the day.
So much for this "veteran” Journalist’s
opinion of modern Journalism; an opinion
formed from deep study and practical ex
perience. But he expressed another truth
that is even more Intereating. He made
the unequivocal statement, and he is a
man who is fully responsible for his
■words, that “a majority of the morning
papers of the South are owned or con
trolled. either directly or indirectly, by
railroad corporations.” This is a state
ment that will at once command the pub
lic's attention, for the question at oncTt
presents itself, what does a railroad want
"with a newspaper? A newspaper '« cer
tainly not necessary to the legitimate
operation of a railroad, and yet we find
“a majority of the inornimg papers of the
Routh owned or controlled either directly
or indirectly by a railroad corporation.”
(U e accept the quoted statement as true,
for it is true, and we assume full respon
sibility for the charge).
If a newspaper is not necessary to the
'legitimate operation of a railroad, and yet
Sf railroads own a majority of the morn
ing papers of the South, is it not clear
that these papers have ceased to perform
the functions of a high-minded public
journal—that they h.-.ve degenerated into
mere hired organs. Hence it is they are
fast losing the public's, confidence, for the
public has a natural distrust for senti
ments and 'theories 'that are advanced by
u newspaper whose mission it is to do 'the
bidding of a railroad corporation or trust.
It may be allowed to perform its (news
paper functions in a general way, but the
taint of corporation control destroys its
usefulness as a public journal.
Thus another cause contributes to the
decadence of the morning paper, while, at
<he same time, working a corresponding
benefit to the afternoon paper. The latter.
hs a rule, is always recognized as a free
lance—independent, untramolled.. They
have been successful enough to pay their
own way, instead of being tempted by
corporation money. The latter usually
seeks broken-down morning newspaper
properties, or such ■ixtpers as require a
certain amount of “substantial encourage
ment” to keep them going. The after
noon paper goes of itself and keeps on
going and growing.
And it mow begins to seem that it will
Boon be the only paper on which the peo
ple can depend to fight their battles, if
modern ideas of railoading continue to
prevail. It has always been nearest the
people and has ever proven their most
zealous and unselfish friend. In nearly
every city that we can call to mind it has
<he public’s confidence and patronage,
■while « majority of its morning rivals are
known to be controlled and their opinions
moulded by corporate influence—hence are
distrusted by the people at large.
No man can study the situation without
being forced 'to the conclusion that the
“veteran” Journalist, who has at last
come to admit the inevitable and perma
nent rise of the afternoon paper, is not
far out of his reckoning.
It is noted 'that the cotton mills of New
England declared an extra dividend of ten
per cen. on their profits just before mak
ing that reduction of eleven per cent, in
the wages of 300.000 operatives.
Preparing for a Bolt.
dust as we expected, the Macon Tele
graph appears to be preparing to bolt in
case the gubernatorial nomination is not
to its liking. Its leading editorial today
contains the following significant para
graph :
». If '? e pc,op,e are allowed a fair deal,
the Telegraph will stand by the choice.
C therwise it will be free “to condemn'those
•*ho stand in the way of the people. In
other words, the Telegraph will be free to
do the right thing at all times. It will not
Pa/Lv *lave. No set of men-no caucus
■—can bind it to the things it knows to be
H UOt have t 0 be to
the things that are right.”
In other words, party action means
nothing to the Telegraph, It is willing to
enter into party primaries—if. indeed it
be allowed to do so—but. if these prima
ries do not result as it thinks thev should
It will not consider itself in honor bound
to abide by that reeult.
It will, of course, excuse itself on rhe
plea that fraud was practiced, or that a
few men dictated the party’s action, but
that is ever the plea of the bolter. With
him, as with the Telegraph, it is “have it
sny way or kick out of the traces.”
The man who does not intend to abide
by the party’s action should have the good
taste not to participate in party primaries,
or should not be allowed to do so, if he
would.
The true Democrat will go in to secure
ithe nomination of those candidates whom
he most prefers, but if they are defeated
he w ill go in with as much earnestness
and zeal to elect the party's nominees,
whoever they may .be. The man who is
not willing to do this has no right to par
ticipate in a party primary. The Tele
graph intimates that it has no such’con
ception of party duty.
The Dingley Bill Under Glass.
The beauties of the Dinbley bill are made
very clear when viewed mruugn me win
dow glass BCaedule. The News is in pos
session of the Pittaburg Plate Glass Com-
I pony’s price current of January a, 1898,
■ which makes some startling revelations as
■ to the effects of the new tariff measure oa
| one of the most important commodities
sold in thia country.
It so happened a few months ago that
we required a certain amount of window
glass, for which we paid sl6. Within the
•past week we have had occasion to get
prices on another lot of glass, and this cir
cumstance caused the beauties of the Ding
ley bill to be revealed to us ia a moat
forcible way.
To our surprise and dismay we found
that our sl6 will buy just two-th.rds as
much glass today as it bought a few
months ago. or, to put it another way,
we must pay $24 today for the same
amount of glass that cost us sl6 a short
while ago.
if tnere had been a corresponding in
crease in our bank account or in our op
portunities to earn money had been in
creased in projiortion, we might have ac
cepted the window glass gouge with more
grace; but as a dollar is as hard to get
today a-s was the case a year ago, and as
we have as few of them now as then, we
were forced to the conclusion that the
Dingley bill is not just what it is repre
sented to be.
It may mean increased profits for the
window glaas manufacturer, but it is
rough on the man who has to buy bis pro
duct. in making our second purchase of
window glas«, we were constrained to re
flect that there may be, at times, some
reason in a readjustment of the tariff,
even an increase In rates, where such a
proceeding is necessary to equalize con
ditions for the home manufacturer —-to this
extent we are willing to concede the
wisdom of the protective tariff theory—
but we utterly fail to see the occasion for
or any reason in a tariff schedule that al
lows the price of a product to be suddenly
increased one-third or more.
It has not been the experience of older
countries than this 'that such sudden and
sweeping tariff changes are conducive to
healthy commercial and industrial condi
tions, or fair to the people at large. Nor,
by any process of reasoning, do we be
lieve the most ardent protectionist can
show the wisdom or justice in a horizontal
increase such as we have mentioned.
To present the matter in detail may
serve to better illustrate the workings of
the 'Republicans’ pet theory of government,
as demonstrated by their latest tariff
measure, so we herewith reproduce an offi
cial priee list for window glass under the
Wilson bill, together with a price current
for January 1, 1898, showing the increase
under the Ding.ley bill:
Under the Democratic tariff we could
buy window glass at the following prices
per box of fifty square feet:
Sizes | AA | A | B
6xß to 10 x 15j$ 7 00;$ 6 50;$ 6 25
II x 14 to 16 x 24] 8 00| 7 25| 7 00
12 x 13 to 16 x 24| 8 00| 7 25| 700
18 x 22 to 20 x 30| 10 50| 9 50] 9 00
20 x 20 to 20 x 30| 10 50' 9 50] 9 00
15 x 36 to 24 x 30] 11 50| 10 001 925
26 x 28 to 24 x 36 12 00 10 50| 950
26 x 34 to 26 x 44 12 75 11 75| 10 25
30 x 30 to 26 x 44 12 75 11 75! 10 35
26 x 40 to 30 x 50 15 00 13 50| 12 00
30 x 52 to 30 x 54 15 00 13 75| 12 25
30 x 56 to 34 x 56 16 50 14 75| 13 50
34 x 58 to 34 x 60 17 25 15 75] 14 50
36 x 60 to 40 x 60 19 00] 16 75| 15 75
The above list carries with it a discount
of 75 and 5 off.
Under the Republican 'tariff we must
now pay as follows for the same glass as
quoted above:
Sizes | AA | A | B
6 x 8 to 10 x 15 sl7 501516 25|515 50
11 x 14
12 x 13 to 14 x 20 20 00 18 50; 17 25
18 x 22 |
20 x 20 to 20 x 30 25 00 23 00| 21 00
15 x 36 to 24 x 30 27 00 24 50| 22 00
26 x 28 to 21 x 36 30 00 26 75| 24 00
32 x 38 to 30 x 50 40 00 36 501 32 00
34 x 36
35 x 52 to 30 x 54 41 25 37 50; 33 75
30 x 56 to 34 x 56
34 x 58 to 34 x 60
36 x 60 to 40 x 60
This list carries with it a discount of 85
and 15 off, so that the proper discount
must be allowed lin both instances before
making Hie comparison. For convenience
we give the net price of the first mention
ed size, as taken from each of the above
lists:
Democratic price for 6xß to 10x15 glass
per fifty feet, A. A., $1.66; 'Republican
price for 6xß to 10x15 glass per fifty feet
A. A., $2.24; or for glass 30x52 the net
price today is $5.28, as against $3.75, or
$1.50 per box more.
The question only remains to be asked,
who has any more money with which to
buy the above product? The only apswer
must .be, the window glass manufacturer.
And this fittingly illustrates who is most
benefited by the Dingley bill.

Chandler Again.
Trouble everywhere besets the present
Republican administration. Its adhesion
to Secretary Gage’s greenback destruction,
and gold standard conspiracy is certain to
lead to a Republican revolt both in and
outside of Congress. When old line party
men like Senator Chandler get ready to
take off their coats and defy the ruling
element of the party on a vital question
like the currency, it cannot be doubted
that sensational developments are at hand.
Mr. Ghandler is out in a card, in which
he says that the present depressed condi
tion of American labor, and the reduction
of wages in New England, are due solely
to the demonetization of silver, which has
doubled the puchasing power of gold and
reduced by one-half the value of labor sn l
all commodities in exchange lor it. 1R
call;, upon the laboring an I prolucir*
class.s to start in and fight, against the
s :he:ne of their oppressors to fasten this
curse pet nianently upon their ba ■!:<•. It
is good advice, but the trouble is that bi
metallist Republicans cannot adopt it
without jumping over the fence into the
camp of Democracy, where all bimetallists
belong, just os all gold men belong in ths
Republican party.
Senator Mason has introduced a bill fix
ing a special tax upon the manufacture
of mixed flour, manufacturers being re
quired to pay SIOO. Mixed flour is de
fined by the bill to be food product made
from wheat and mixed ground corn or
other foreign substances. A fine of SI,OOO
is imposed for the manufacture of this
product without paying the tax, and like
heavy fines are provided for other viola
tions. An internal revenue taxrof 4 cents
for each 100-pound package in addition to
the customs duty, is imposed upon im
ported mixed flour.
The German government, through her
ambassador to the United States has re
quested the adopting of a reciprocity
treaty providing that products imported
to this country from Germany upon -which
an export duty is paid, be admitted free
at our ports. But sugar in particular is
meant in this request. Our government
will not agree to this unless Germany will
in return remove the restrictions she has
imposed upon our American beef and cat
tle. The government of the United States
insisted on this in its tariff treaty with
France.
Says an exchange: With rare exceptions,
it is a kunentable faet that but few, a
very small number, of the great dailies
in the commercial and political centers
any longer voice the sentiment of the peo
ple, or advocate any policy unless it is in
the interest of the trusts and monopolies
and combines. It is therefore to the
country press, and to the dailies of the
smaller cities and towns, that the people
must look for guidance and information
upon Which to rely.
The LaGrange Graphic says: “It is
highly gratifying to notice that all the
indications now point to the fact that the
next Commissioner of Agriculture of Geor
gia will be the Hon. < B. Stevens, of Ter
rell county. He is a practical farmer, a
man of affairs and a loyal silver Demo
crat. Everywhere the people are falling
in line for him. This is as it should be,
for he is one of the people.’*
