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." If the Republican party has given the people of Pensylvanla the best possible Christmas gift dolar wheat for title far mer." as the chairman of the Pcnslyvania Republican state committee asserts—will that individual kindly tell us. what sort of a Christmas gift the Republican party has given to the 300.000 cotton mill operatives of New querrles the Memphis Co mm er c'i al - A ppea 1. In Wellington. Kan., the other night Thomas W. Keene played “Richard III,” and between the acts a. student of Shake speare arose and explained to t'he audience what Mr. Keene meant and made a fore cast of what he would do in the next act. This piece of thoughtfulness on the part of Mr. Keene entitles him to the thanks of those wiho have to hear h'lm. Burglars broke into Gray Gables a few days ago and consumed all of Mr. Cleve land’s liquor. In his 'hour of tribulation the ex-president has the profound sympathy of the entire state of Kentucky, irrespective of party or the financial question, says the Memphis Commercial-Appeal. The Chicago Tribune says: “Coxey is about to make a trip through the South, lie can shake Carl Browne more effective ly, however, by making a trip to the far North.” Hasn’t Coxey got that Carl Browne taste out of his mouth yet? asks an exchange. A member of the house of representa tives has received from one of his consti tuents this note: "Please send me all obit uaries about congressmen that are pub lished; I do so like to read about our dead congressmen.” Are we to understand by the vigorous manner in which the Atlanta Journal con tinues to shove t'he knife under Governor Atkinson’s shirt that the Hon. Hoke Smith wants some of that senatorial race? Eugene V. Debs may be radical and a I:tie too theoretical for political purposes, but there is much sound sense in many of his utterances, thinks the Chattanooga News. One of the telegrams received by Mark Hanna was from Bill Candler. It read as follows: "I congratulate you on this latest victory for souud money. How much?” If It must be left to the Macon Tele graph to purify Georgia politics, the ma jority of Georginas will agree that the remedy is worse than the complaint. If the Hon. Hut Jenkins has nothing else to do. It will not matter if he does enter the gubernatorial race. It will at least serve to keep him before- the public. Nansen, the explorer, has been made an LL.D, by an Illinois college. But what is needed is for some college to confer on Andree the degree of D. D. D. F. The Atchison Globe knows a thing or two about anatomy. It says: “The kidneys seem to have been intended to make money for patent medicine men.” Shooting seems to be becoming quite the proper thing in shuffling off this mor tal coil in fashionable circles in Washing ton, remarks the Savannah News. Senator Teller confidently expects to see the Republican party, go down In 1900. .Vid he will not be disappointed, provided he lives and retains his eyesight. “Capital, skill and brains.” says Minis ter Loomis, “are all that are needed in Venezuela.” Mere trifles, remarks the Chicago Times-Herald. President McKinley has had his bust modeled. a bust like McKinley has made is worth preserving. There has never been anything to equal it. Rev. Dr. Gott hell, of New York, declares that “the world would be better off if many of the forms of worship and beliefs should amalgamate.” The old joke about China's mistake in having invented gun powder, which did such valiant service during the Japo-Chi nese war, has been revived. By the way, did Mr. Hanna mean to In timate that there would be some doubt about God's continuing to reign had he been defeated? The News’ circulation in Macon is not only greater than that of any other Macon daily, but it equals that of ail other dailies combined. What's getting the matter with the nobility of Washington, D. C., anyway; are there no pawnshops in that town? The Nicaragua Canal Convention at Kansas City, adopted resolutions urging congress to construct the canal. CA.IST’ ILTA. Tie he- 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. Jk c’ I g o f meaning and about which such tender and holy recollections cluster as that of “ Mother ’’—she who watched over our helpless infancy and guid ed our first tottering step.
