Off.ces: Corner Second and Cherry Street*. /urfJlD 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. Hon. Kid McCoy is another one who will soon have to get his mouth expurgated, suggests an exchange. 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.’* o us e and EMI POWDER Absolutely Pure The Senate Interstate Commerce Com mittee has taken up again for consider ation the anti-scalping bill, the object of w'hich is to do away with the cut rate ticket brokers. Senator Tillman, of South Carolina, seemed to be the only member present who did not favor the passage of said bill. It is possible that the bill will become a law before long. Every newspaper free from the control and domination of trusts and monopolies should urge their senators and represen tatives in congress to crush the iniquitous Loud Bill. It is the most insidious meas ure that has ever been aimed at a free and independent press, and the people who look to it for reliable information. The Atlanta Constitution is Shooting off its gubernatorial fireworks at regular in tervals these days. Let it take care that it doesn't exhaust its supply before the real fun begins. The British ambassador, Sir Julian Pauncefote, is negotiating with the state department, looking to advantageous re ciprocity treaties, under the Dingley tariff act. The reduction of the “400” to 75 is prob ably due to the fact that 325 of them have reformed, thinks the Memphiis Commer cial-Appeal.
