Yor er might differ as to the class.
The American Rate of Wages.
We hear much from war tariff advo
cates of the American rate of wages and
the tremendous reduction therefrom
should the tariff be reduced in the slight
est particular. Can anybody tell wh-'t is
the American rate, who fixes it and how
far it is uniform ?
If there be euch a thing as a wage rate
in this country resulting from a high
tariff, surely it ought to be the same in
like occupations in Maine and Georgia.
North Carolina and California. It should
be an iron-clad rule, sure to stick
wherever applied ; but does it?
Take the yearly earnings of operatives
in the woolen industries. Why are they
only $106 in Ohio and £335 in Connecti
cut? Why should New Hampshire mills
pay only $280 and Vermont $270 while
the ad joining state of Massachusetts pays
$320? Why should Pennsylvania and
New Jersey pay $300 while New York
pays $285? Is the American rate the
$335 which the Connecticut man gets or
the $100 which the Ohio operative re
ceives, or the average between the two,
or what?
So in tbe cotton industry. The yearly
wages are $135 in North Carolina and
$255 in New Hampshire; $188 in Mary
land and $251 in Massachusetts, $100 in
Alabama, $100 in South Carolina, $218 in
New York and $242 in Connecticut. Will
some well informed supporter of our war
tariff look over this list and tell an in
credulous community where the Ameri
can rate of wages comes in ?
A table prepared several years ago
from the census of 1880 showed that in
no two states were the wages of person-
employed in manufacturing industries
the same. The lowest were paid in
North Carolina and the highest in Cali
fornia, the latter state paying at least
seventy-live per cent, more money.
In cotton industries wages are lower in
Rhode Island than in Pennsylvania, and
in the iron business they are lower in
Pennsylvania than Rhode Island. This
could not possibly happen if there were
such a thing as an American rate of
wages, or if the tariff fixed or maintain
ed wages.
Natural laws, irrespective of tariffs,
have governed and will continue to con
trol the wages of labor all over the world.
The “Constitution” Flops Aga'u.
One of the most sudden and astonish
ing of tbe*many Hops that our lively
contemporary, the Atlanta Constitution,
ever made was betweea Thursday and
yesterday. On Thursday it went one
way and on Friday it turned squarely
about and marched in an entirely oppo
site direction, with colors flying and
with self-assertive consistency.
Here is a comparison :
Congressman John E. Russell, of Mas
sachusetts, has hopes of Maine. That is
about all he or any other democrat will
have this year. Maine will go repub
lican, of course, on next Monday week,
hut there is every reason to believe that
the republican majority of ISM will be
very materially reduced.
Tbe editorial in yesterday’s Atlanta
Constitution shows that the able editors
of that paper have read the Enqitreb-
Son with profit if not pleasure. We are
glad to see it fall in line with us in ad
vising the farmers of this section to pack
their cotton in bagging and send it to
‘market.
There have been two bloody shirt
speeches made in the eouth within the
last few days, and the republican news
papers, with here and there an excep
tion, have not had one word of comment.
It will not be very long before a repub
lican congressman will feel just as much
like abusing New England for the Hart
ford convention as going hack to the
reconstruction period in order to make
political capital against this eection.
It is suggested respectfully, but firmly,
to the city authorities that the most press
ing public matter ju t now is a thorough
cleansing of tbestreets. They have,proba
bly, at some time, been dirtier, but they
luck, at tfiis writing, almost every condi
tion essential to cleanliness. A reminder
to those responsible ought to be enough
to set them at work without delay to
remedy the grievance of which our citi
zens quite unanimously and very justly
complain.
The Baltimore Sun has a political ad
veiti«ement calPng upon all the prohibi
tion voters of the third eongfeosioeal
district to meet at McLaughlin’s Hall.
The building is not particularly large, but
our third party friends appear to think>t
is big enough to hold all their voters in
an entire congressional district. In tlrs
they really claim too much. The whole
party could be put away in an ordinary
hotel psHor without coming in contact
with the walls.
The Boston correspondent of the
Springfield Republic n writes that the
Massachusetts manufacturers are alread
taking steps to raise a large campaign
fund. One man, Fred L. Ames, suit
scribed $50,000, and it is hoped to rais**
easily as much as $500,000, if not moo *
There is no doubt that the republics -
are attempting to elect Harrison an<
Morton by the use of the largest corrup
tion fund ever raised in this country fur
the purpose of buying votes. The worst
of it is that the people are to be bought
with theirown money taken out oftliei
pockets by a hizh tariff.
The New York Sun heads the item sc
n juuciug the defeat of Coop es>uiau
Daniel Ennentrout for renom-nation in
this fashion: “He Voted for the Mid-
Bill, and Has Heard from His Consulp-
eute." These two facte are nut togetht *
in such a way as to make what the law
yers call a suggestion of falsehood. The
convention of the democrats of Rerh-
county, Pennsylvania, which limit i
down Mr. Ennentrout, passed resolutions
applauding democratic congressmen ,o,
voting for the Mills.bill and especially
Mr. Ennentrout. His defeat was due
more to his having been a Raudallite up*
to this session than anything else.
They backed up the action of the senate
upon the fisheries question. They sus
tained the action of the late New York
legislature in every particular
They assaulted Governor Hill
as best they knew how. They
were very anxious that the naturalization
laws should be reformed and that pauper
and criminal immigration should be done
away with. They would regulate con
vict lalxir and improve the canals—but
there they stopped.
It is true that they endorsed in gen
eral terms the republican national plat
form, but there does not appear any
where in their resolutions such expres
sions as “protection to American inter
ests,’’ “British free trade,” “pauper labor
of Europe,” “home market,” “high wages
and high tariff,” and so forth and so on.
What is the meaning of all this? Are
New York republicans prepared to run
away from the tariff issue before the fight
is actually on, before the candidates have
accepted their nominations? It certain-
looks like it, and the democrats should
learn the lesson derivable from it.
The more republicans dodge the tariff
question the more democrats should
press it home in the interests of an over
whelming majority of oppressed and tax-
ridden people.

Mr. Biainu is quite likely to confine
his speeches in this campaign to thF
eastern and middle states. Indiana
wants uoue of him, and in Illinois the
Chicago Tribune goes for his uia aet-
iem like a pile driver. After savug
that it has been telling tarifl reform re
publicans how they can support Har
rison, it proceeds in this fashion: “Now
comes Mr. Blaine from over the seas and
begins his speeches for high protection
and nothing but protection. * * It is
protection, protection, protection, with an
occasional playful and sympathetic allu
sion to trusts and felicitous quotations
from the complete works of Andrew
Carnegie, who has a revenue of$1,500,G( )

recently reduced the wages o r his work

filled their places with imported foreign

PRESS OPINIONS.
The man who does not hear the rumbling of a
coming storm is the one who believes that trust*
are beneficent institutions.—Philadelphia Time*
(Ind.)
The men who continue to get up trusts in the
face of the popular opposition to them are help
ing on the cause of tariff reform by their action.
—New York Times dnd.)
Hon. Wm. E. Chandler should alter over his
southern outrage speec i a little, and use it to
convict the president of wantonly injuring the
republican party Dy his fishery message.—Provi
dence Journal find. Rep.)
“We n ust first elect Harrison, and then ‘strike
for tariff reform,’ ’’ says the Chicago Tribune,
Knute Nelson and other republican reformers.
In other words, let us get drunk once more and
then swear off.—Springfield Republican (Ind).
In declaring for ‘‘free whisky” the Chicago
platform repudiated Mr. Blaine, and in declaring
for “trusts,” Mr. Blaine repudiated the platform.
It will be interesting to see how Candidate Har
rison in his letter of acceptance, will steer be
tween these opposing declarations. Doubtless,
as he sits considering by the lake-side, his mind
is in a gentle twitter.—Philadelphia Record (Ind.
Dem).
The Chicago platform, or at least the tariff
plank, was, to beg.n with, the work of a man
whose ability is conceded, but whose unwrise
leadership in the house and stubborn resistance
there to the demands of his party for a republi
can tariff bill, together with nis unfortunate
statement of the protection issne in the platform,
have been a source of no small embarrassment
to his party. Where, then, is the wisdom of try
ing to cover up or defend a mistake like this
when it is absolutely certain that if it were to be
done over the platform would not read as it does
now?—Minneapolis Journal (R«p.)
Those who have been surprised by any blun
der which Mr. Blaine has committed do not
know the man. He is generally regarded as a
very shrewd and canny politician. He is noth
ing of the sort. On the contrary, he is a very
impulsive, blunt man, who says what he thinks
at the moment without that consideration and
deliberation which denote the true politician.
Mr. Blaine is as unreliable and as unsafe a
leader as any party can have, and Chairman
Quay could do no better thing than to telegraph
to the Maine statesman: “Dear Blaine: Don’t
talk; don’t write.”—Philadelphia Ledger, Inu.
Rep.
The natural sequel of the passage of the Mills
bill by the house is the elopement < f the wife of
a manufacturer of furniture in New Jersey.
When lumber was put on the free list and a seri
ous reduction threatened in the price of varnisn,
it was plain that disaster must ensue to the man
ufacturers of furniture, and the calamity that
has befallen this manufacturer is simply whuC
might have been expected. The attempt of the
British free trade press to make it appear that
the elopement was due to the causes that ex
isted before tae president’s uies*age was deliv
ered will not deceive the voters of New Jersey.
As a plain matter of fact, the woman did not run
away until the Mills bill had actually passed the
house, and whoever cannot see that the elope
ment was caused by that message is insensible
to the logic of protection.—New York Times, Ind.

If anybody wants to know what ibe
Atlanta Constitution thinks farmers
ought to do he had better read this
morning's paper.

not and ought not to win.” This is an
Awful dry grin for a republican paper
long a supporter and friend of Blaine.
Let the democrats in the west continue
the good fight against trusts, monopolies
and the war tariff and there is no telling
what they may accomplish.
The opinions of our leading cotton men
elsewhere printed are ample justifica
tion, if any were needed, for the course
which this paper has pursued in. relation
to the bagging trust, and the advice
which we have given the plante.-s as to
the sale of their cotton.
We share in the practically unanimous
sentiment of this community in its ab
horrence of the bagging trusts and of all
trusts, but, in dealing with the practical
question presented, this criminal con
spiracy against the rights of the people
had to be set aside.
We have to take into consideration
the interests of whole communities, in
which tbe farmers, though by far the
greatest number of the people are etill

They professed to hail with delight to e
tariff reform message of President Cleve
land last winte r , and were disposed al
most unanimously to thank him for
making so conspicuous an issue upon
which they professed to be confident
they could sweep the country.
Tried by the side of their professions,
their action at the New York convention
at Saratoga, Tuesday, was iu very de
cided contrast. They adopted ten resc
lutions and ran the gauntlet of almost a*l
the political topics under the 6uu except
the tariff.
