One of the Causes of Wage Reductions.
A Northern paper, the Toledo Blade, tn
dlscusKlng the New Bedford strike, de
clare* that the reduction of wages in the
New England mills is made necessary be
cause the cotton industry In the South
has been developing with great rapidity
for the past few years, and now has reach
ed a jsodnt at which its competition de
stroys the profit on cotton manufacturing
in New England.
And the Blade states why the Southern
cotton mills can afford to undersell New
England mills. It says:
“The first reason is that laixir Is cheap
er. The hours of labor are longer. Vhere
•Is no restriction in the South on child la
bor, and the mills employ it wherever they
can."
The 'Blade lays furth<T stress on the fact
that the employment of child labor in the
Bouthem mills enables them to manufac
ture. their product at less cost than can be
done in New England, where child labor is
prohibited by law.
Some may see in this an argument in
favor of child labor, but such a contention
Is narrow in the extreme when we consid
er its real meaning. It would be as rea
sonable to Justify the employment of coolie i
labor by the mills of the North, in order I
that they may undersell their Southern
competitors. 'And, in turn, the employ
ment of convict labor by the Southern
mills in order that they may survive.
Such an argument is not founded on a
broad plane, nor can any man who re
joices In the progress of the human race
defend it. Competition is not the most
imi>ortant matter to be considered in con
nection with this problem. The rights
of humanity must, not be ignored. Else
the inevitable end will be revolution.
But it is easy to see what is the
effect of child labor on the mill operatives
of the country. It not only cheapens this
class of labor here in the South, but it
forces a. reduction of wages upon the oper
atives of the East— in order that their em
ployers may compete with the mills of the
South which employ child labor.
It is no wonder, then, that the Southern
mills are so opposed to a law prohibit
ing the employment of children in 'the
mills. Child labor gives .them a distinct
advantage over their competitors, and they
are not willing to relinquish this advant
age, even if it Is necessary to stiffle the
dictates of conscience a thing .which cor
pora'! ions sometimes do when dolars are in
the scale.
But it is more than strange that these
laboring people themselves, whoso chil
dren are dwarfed intellectually and phys
ically by this form of slavery, do not re
bel, and wage an uncompromising warfare
for the abolishment of child labor.
And it is equally strange that the pub
lic at large, whose Interests are affected in
proportion as labor is cheapened, do not
join in the fight. And. stranger, still that
a great state, whose citizenship is lowered
by the bondage of so many of its children,
does not put an end to a system which
forces her to pay such a heavy tribute to
corporate greed.
While it is true, as the Toledo Blade
says, that cheap labor, and especially child
labor, gives fihe 'Southern mills a distinct
advantage over their New England com
petitors, it I also true that they enjoy
other advantages.
The freight on the raw cotton is another
item of cost in New England mills. The
Southern mills often have the cotton de
livered almost at their doors by planters,
or, if by rail, it is but a short distance and
at a low rate.
In other words, the same advantage that
an iron furnace in Birmingham would
bave over a.n iron furnace in New England,
making it, therefore, all the more clear
■why Sbuthern mills can forever compete
New England mills, without enslaving the
children of their operatives, in order that
it hey may enjoy a larger margin. Ry every
line of reasoning, child labor is not only a
(hurtful thing for the operatives of the
South and of the East, but for the country
at large, that must suffer indirectly from
the effects of cheap labor. Not only hurt
ful from an economic standpoint, but both
hurtful and debasing from a social stand
point. Not only hurtful, but unjust and
inhuman in the extreme.
With such an array of facts before them,
we do believe the next body of Georgia
law makers will refuse to pass a law for
the protection of the little children of
Georgia—the future citizenship of the
state. No matter how many paid lobbyists
work to perpetuate this form of human
slavery. Every man and woman in Geor
gia should raise their voice against this
iniquity, and especially should the labor
unions of Georgia begin now to wage un
ceasing and uncompromising warfare
against it.
The New York Journal sees its mistake
in trying to throw Bryan overboard. But.
of course, you can never tell if it is a live
■wire until you take hold of it.
Is it a Plenitude or Congestion of Money?
The New York savings banks report that
they will pay only per cent interest
this year. This indicates that there is
plenty of money in the country, says an
exchange. Not necessarily. Perhaps it
•would be better to say a congestion of
money in New York. It is Idle to try to
make it appear that money is plentiful just
because the banks are not willing to pay
much for it. It is plentiful with the
banks, but it is not necessarily plentiful
with the people. On the contrary, expe
rience has demonstrated that while New
York banks are refusing to pay more than
Sts per cent for money. Southern and
Western farmers cannot borrow enough to
make the year’s crop for less than 12 and
15 per cent. Even the best commercial pa
per is not taken in this section for less
than 10 per cent, whereas, if money was
as plentiful as the McKinley prosperity
“barkers” would have us believe, it would
be an easy matter to borrow money, even
in this section, at 5 or 6 per cent, for there
should not be a greater difference in the
prii of money as between New York and
the South.
Rut the fact is. as stated, there is simply
a congestion of money in the financial cen
ters. It is there and it is still being hoard
ed. So far as the experience of those who
need this money, and who could use it to
a good purpose, goes, it is as hard to get
as ever, and they have to pay as much or
more for it.
What is needed is a currency system—
an expansive currency—that will, in real
ity. make money plentiful and prevent its
congestion in the financial centers of the
country. That will enable the small farm
ers and merchants to get it without hav
ing to give an Iron-clad mortgage on their
life and pay unreasonable rates of inter
est. Then would money be plentiful and
then would we see real prosperity.
Cuba's autonomy and McKinley’s pros
perity are the substance of things talked
of but not realized, remarks the Savannah
Pre “' ' -
The Journal Hears From Its “Feeler”
As we suspected, the recent card from I
Mr. McEwen, published in the New York ■
Journal, attempting to dispose of Mr.
Bryan as a closed incident, was only a *
“feeler.*
The Journal's latest “tack" confirms
this view. Its attempted repudiation of
Bryan did not take with the people as |
well as Tammany had hoped, and as the
Journal had been led to believe it would, J
so it now shifts sail and, in a measure, '
repudiates Mr. McEwen. The Journal de
clares that "the fact that an article, ;
whether by an editorial writer or anybody
else, is signed and appears outside the j
editorial columns, is conclusive proof that I
It represents the private opinions of the I
author, and not the views of the Journal."
This was the loophole that the Journal *
had purposely left open for itself, and it '
has be< n quick to take advantage of it, I
though it has done so somewhat sooner
than we expected. And, finally, in trying
to further draw back from the attitude In
which Mr. McEwen’s card served to place !
it, the Journal says:
“As to the position of the Journal on i
the subject of Mr. Bryan, the matter is I
simplicity itself. The Journal supported
Mr. Bryan in 1896 because he was the reg
ular nominee of the Democratic national
convention. It will support him in 1900,
or anybody else who may occupy the same
ixisition. It supported Mr. Van Wyck last
year for similar reasons. The Journal is
not and never was either a Bryan paper
or a Van \V yck paper. It Is a Democratic
paper.”
V> bile the Journal’s recantation —for
that is what It is— must be accepted, still
the fact cannot be ignored that its “feeler”
had the result of bringing it to its senses.
It is very probable that the Journal has
simply drawn a lesson from the advice
which the card of its Mr. McEwen brought
out, not the least significant of wihch is
the following from the Washington Post, a
newspaper which certainly cannot be ac
cused of partisanship. The Pest, in noting
the incipient revolt which Tammany is
trying to bring about in its effort to con
tra 1 the Democrat 1 c party, says:
“The Democrats of the nation are not
under New York control. The millions
who voted for Mr. Bryan in 1896 do not
look in that direction for guidance and
leadership. They would not be moved
one hair breadth from their purpose if
New York were to threaten them with
absolute secession. They lost New York
In 1896. They can afford to lose it in
1900. They have no calculations based
upon New York as an indispensable fac
tor in their scheme. They know that Mr.
Bryan and the Chicago platform brought
out more votes, year before last, than any
Democratic candidate ever received be
fore—nearly a million more than Mr.
Cleveland had in 1892—<and they are con
tent with that record and the brilliant
prospect it open.-, to them in the future.
Let no one Imagine that Mr. Bryan is a
dad Issue. If a Democratic convention
were to assemble today, he would be with
out a serious competitor. Unless all poli
tical conditions be revolutionized mean
while, he will be even stronger two years
hence.”
God help Georgia if its politics are so
rotten that an injection of the Macon Tel
e-nnph’s Hessianism is needed to purify
it.
Newspaper and Other Advertising.
The News, of Gadsden, Ala., has been
doing a little problem in arithmetic for the
benefit of its advertisers, and, incidentally,
for those who do not advertise, and the
result is interesting.
“A newspaper,” it says, “has 5,000 read
ers for each 1.000 subscribers. A mer
chant who puts out 1,000 hand bills gets
possibly 300 or 500 to read them—'that is if
the boy who is trusted to deliver them does
not put them under the sidewalk. All the
women and girls, and half the men and
boys read the advertisement. Result: The
merchant who uses the newspaper has
3,500 more readers to each 1,000 of the
■hand bill readers. There is no estimat
ing the amount of business that advertis
ing brings to a merchant, but each dollar
Invested brings from S2O to SIOO worth of
business."

WRITTEN BY A PRIEST.
A Dramatic Play Entitled “The Black Car
dinal.”
New York, Jan. 17 —The church and the
stage seem to be running along very
smoothly together. The former remon
strates mildly at the latter's indiscretions
and aims toward a general improvement.
The latest effort of this kind was made
by a Rev. John Talbot Smith, a Roman
Catholic priest, who will shortly see his
play, “The Black Cardinal,” produced in
a Broadway theatre.
The story is said to be a very dramatic
one. It will be interesting to note the
ideas of a clergyman on proper methods
of conducting a theatrical presentation, as
it is said the author will personally su
perintend all stage settings and costumes.
The piece is an historical drama and its
plot is founded on the struggle between
Napoleon I. and Pope Pius VII., a strug
gle full of interest and teeming with dra
matic incidents. The student of history
will recall that Napoleon at one time im
prisoned the Pope and carriedoff with him
to Paris a large number of the Cardinals.
Aomng these latter was the Cardinal
Consalvi, a renowned diplomat, who had
been Pius’ secretary of state. Later on
when the Emperor divorced Josephine and
married Marie Louise of Austria, thirteen
of the Cardinals, headed by Consalvi, re
fused to ■" ’ the wedding ceremony on
the gerund that Josephine’s divorce was
not valid.
As a punishment for his boldness n
thus defying the Emperor, Consalvi was
exiled to Lyons and forbidden to wear the
r< d robes of his office. Hence the title of
the play.
