COLUMBUS, GA., SEPTEMBER 18, 1888
The Houston Poet epeake of the great
New York journalist an Charles H. Dana.
It is evident that the Sun’e office cat is a
long way from home.
The Senate roll call, on Senator Blair’e
motion to reconsider the vote by which
the Chinese Restriction bill wae passed,
shows plainly that for once party poli
tic* were laid aside. When Harris and
Edmunds on the one side oppose Vest
and Frye on the other, it may be taken
for granted that no lightning flashed nor
thunder pealed.
If a high tariff made wages high and
manufactures low, the men, who say that
the workingmen ought to vote for Ha--
ri»on on that account, would all be free
traders. It was a very witty wage earner
who said to his employer, when the
latter told him a high tariff makes high
wages: “If that’s so you’d vote for a low
tariff'every time.” And so he would.
The Indianapolis Journal is too good a
paper to be in the political stew that it
is. It supports Harrison for President,
Bynum for Congress and is against the
Republican, w ithout favoring the Demo
cratic county ticket. Thus it is a Demo
crat, a Republican an i a straddler at the
same time, that is, a Mugs* nmp who is
always againet both parties and a strad
dler as well.
Gen. James W. Denver said thejother
day at Columbus, Ohio, that the Grand
Amy of the Republic “recognized no
sectional or internal disturbances, and
that the moment it departed from that
position he would cease to be a mem
ber.” According to bis own statement
the old General and faithful Democrat is
already out of the organization, since it
has become as sectional and partisan as
it is possible to be.
Mr. Thomas B. Swan, of West Vir
ginia, is the |>erson who toid the Grand
Army convention that he “became dis
gusted with the Confederacy during the
war, but served through because he
promised to do so.” This is just the sort
of recruit that the Republicans are now
enrolling, but in this case it would be
eafe to tuke the fellow’s promise in
writing and insist upon a respons ble en
dorser.
It is doubtful whether the Republican
Senators will agree to an adjournment at
this time, but it is very certain that they
will not report any tariff bill. They
have run from the President’s message
and the Mills bill like a herd of deer
fleeing from imminent danger. Time
was when the Republican party was a
sagacious and courageous organization.
Now it reminds one ol a very well know'll
expression of John Randolph.
Chanucey M. Depew said after his re
turn that lie was told not to imitate Mr.
Blaine’s examnle and come home in a
British ship. He tried to find a United
States vessel, but, failing in that, he took
a G rman steamship as the next best
thing. Thanks to the navigation and
tariff laws of Mr. Depew’s party, while
one may go to Europe in a foreign
ship at reasonable rates, he can’t And a
ship of his own country to do the service
for him for love or money.
The Springfield Republican says that
“there are an unprecedented number of
independent tickets, in the field down in
Georgia this year. Local issues like
liquor, the fence law and labor, con
tribute to this result.” Out of two
hundred and nineteen membeis of trie
Legislature to be voted for the first
week in OctobeT, there will not be over
a d i’ll, if that many, Independent
candidates. Independency is in a condi
tion of dry rot in this State.
The reunion of Confederate veterans
in this city last night, is the first attempt
at forming an association, if not the first
gathering of any kind here since the
war. There is many a brave defender
of Southern rights left, though so many
are gone, and nothing can be more pleas
ing to the survivors than to be joined
together again as surviving soldiers and
actual citizens, as much interested as
ever in the welfare of their beloved
South. The meeting was a good start,
and its results are as happy as were ex*
pec'ted.
Philadelphia has got the scare mighty
bad. She not only wants the Govern
ment to keep the yellow fever where it
is, but begs for a military cordon. By
all means let her have it. If the Govern
ment has s ch a thing, please enclose it
in a tin box and let Senator Ingalls, the
man of war, aud Senator Blair, the man
of peace, carefully guard it to the Quaker
City. Seriously speaking, though, a
“military cordon” is a little too Frenchi
fied for this country—at least until Har
riet)^ is elected.
Observe a statement in another column
of the difference in wages in the same
industries between California and Penn
sylvania. Why should a m ner get $1.35
a day in the latter State, and $2.50 in th
former? Why ehould a mine hoes in
California get $4 a. d $5 a day, and find
when he gets to Pennsylvania that he
earns only $2.10 for doing precisely the
an mo work ? Does not our blessed tariff
maintain American wages? Why then
does it not keep them as high in Penn
sylvania as California ? There is not a
protectionist in the country who can
answer these questions in accordance
with hie own pet theories.
Here is a little paragraph from the
Charleston News and Courier: “Sherman
Hoar has declined to run for Congress in
the Fifth Massachusetts district. We
don’t blame him. Any man with a
name like that should keep as much oat
of sight as possible. Sherman Hoar!
Just think of it. ‘Insatiate archer, would
not one suffice?”’ Mr. Sherman Hoar i«
a nephew of Senator Hoar and a son of
Judge E. R. Hear, one of Grant’s attor-
neys-gcneral. More than that, he is one
of the most hard-working and active
young Democrat? in Massachusetts, and
will show up well to the front whenever
the Democratic party gets into power.
John Jarrett, in bis peregrinations
through the Western co mtrv in the in
terest of the tariff monopolists, starts out
with a lie. He advertises himself as the
President of the Amalgamated Associa
tion of Iron end Steel Workers, when he
has not been for years, having loet his
place in a not particularly creditable
fashion. He is merely the paid lobbyest
and vote buyer of the tariff monopolists
and is, politically, as disreputable a man
as there is in the country.
The Democrats of the Third Louisiana
district have done well to renominate
Mr. E. J. Gay, the present incumbent
He is a man of strong character and
thoroughly practical, just of the sort that
the South now most needs in Congress.—
Birmingham Age. Bother Gay got into
line just in time. He had a great deal
more sense than two members of Con
gress from the Birmingham district who
didn't know enough, or were too obsti
nate to Ptand by their party.
A paragraph is going the rounds to the
effect that a California company has
been organized to manufacture soap out
of a material that is skimmed from a
boiling spring in that State. As there is
little prospect of frying any fat out of the
manufacturers, here is a chance for
Chairman Quay to secure an abundant
supply of soap. It is not the kind, per
haps, that Dudley and New used to carry
Indiana for Garfield, but it seeme to be
the only kind that is now in the market
for the Republican managers.
Judge Ney, of Iowa, a Democrat, be
lieves, as Grant did, that the best way to
get rid of a bad law is to enforce it. On
this account he decided that the State
prohibition law meant what it said and
that under it, no man could make cider
for the use of his family. The’Republi-
cau organ, the State Register, got very
mad and said that “no friend of prohi
bition intended that the law should have
any such meaning, and the Supreme
Court will quickly overrule such a de
cision.” As this is a Presidential year
the aforesaid court can safely be relied
u >on to do anything for the party.
A Solid Truth From Depew.
Ciia incey M. Depew, the Republican
leader and whilom candidate for the
Presidential nomination, has just re
turned from Europe. The day after he
struck his native heath he| was inter
viewed as to the political feeling in Eng
land on our Presidential election, and he
made this statement.:
“I met an Englishman, a nobleman of
high education, who had traveled all
around the world, and knew America
thoroughly. He favored the election of
Gen. Harrison.
“This surprised me, as Mr. Harrison is
almost unknown in England. I asked
the reason for his preference. He said
that such a measure of tariff reduction as
is proposed by the Democratic party
would be the sever st blow ever s ruck
at English manufacturing and commer
cial supremacy.
“He said that he was convinced from
what he had seen himself, and from
what he had been told by eminent
English manufacturers, that the Ameri
can people, with free raw material and
their marvelous faculty for adapting
machiner to the most complicated and
delicate manufactures, would soon con
trol the market of the world
“Under the present system the English
manufacturer has it all his own way, and
he anticipates with dread, the day when
he will have to meet his American
cousins on equal terms in the markets of
the world.”
This is a most astounding declaration,
coming from such a source, and it en
tirely confirms the Democratic position.
We can beat the British manufactu
rers in nearly every market in the world
in a very short time after ourmanu ac-
turersare allowed free raw materials.
When that time comes England will
no longer be able to send all over the
world the $1,500,000,000 w orth of goods
which she now does annually.
By our own foolishness we have ex
cluded ourselves from the world’s mar
kets and the Mills bill is the first step to
open the gates.
DOUBTFUL CALIFORNIA.
lhe Canutes for Democratic Success Good
in the Goldeu State.
A dispatch to the Hartford Times from
California says that State Senator Cami-
netti, of California, reached Washington
Thursday on his way home, after having
made an extensive tour of the Pennsylva- j
nia coal mines. He is largely interested 1
in mining affairs in the center of his State,
and is making his tour to ascertain the
condition of the miners of the Hocking
valley. He said this afternoon: “I was
simply appalled at the condition of the
miners throughout Pennsylvania. In some
instances they are worse even than the
Chinese of San Francisco—and no
one in our State ever dreamed
such a thing was possible. I found
the average wages paid in Pennsylvania to
be about $1.35 a day—the mine bosses get
ting $2.10. In California we pay common
laborers $2.50, and the bosses $1 and $5.
Our industry of gold-digging is not only an
unprotected one, but the articles we use,
such as steel and lumber, are weighed
down by duties. What is the cause of this
f reat difference between California and
ennsylvania? The political outlook in
California is bright indeed. The tide has
been steadily in favor of Mr. Cleveland's
re-election for some time past; and his
manly message on the fisheries, and his
strong letter of acceptance, will materially
strengthen him. I think he will carry
California for the Democrats im November.
The general feeling is decidedly that
way.”
The Same Old Tune.
The New York Tribune, in a late howl
over the Maine election, says: “Never
was there a more certain harbinger of vic
tory all along the line in November.”

Bishop John P. Newman, of the Northern

to accept another nomination. Mr. Russell, how

GOLD EX BROTHERS,
President Cleveland will stand stronger with
the people for his letter of acceptance. The
American people like candor, and thi3 letter is
the soul of candor; they like courage aud this
letter is marked by a fine courage throughout;
they like conscience, and every line of this letter
bears witness that a man with a conscience is
behind it.—Boston Globe, Ind.
Thrifty John Pepys wrote in his diary after
passing a merry evening at a tavern: * “I, by
having but three shillings in my pocket, made
shift to spend no more, whereas if I had ha-i
more I had spent more, as the rest di , so that I
see it is an advantage to a man to carry little in
his pocket.” This is the lesson whicc President
Cleveland is tryii g to teach the nation in his
frequent utterances concerning the surplus.
John Pepys and Grover Cleveland are right. It
is not wise for a man or a nation t nave too
much money within easy reach.—Chicago News,
Ind.
The people of Minnesota favor tariff reform.
Of that there could be no doubt. Tney believe
that the resolution which pa-sed through the
national convention at Chicago almost without
scrutiny does not adequately represent the past
policy or the future intention of the Republican
organization. To endorse that resolution with
out explanation or qualification would have been
unsatisfactory. The Republican party of this
State has no sympathy or part or lot with the
theory of free trade. It believes that taxes should
De so levied as to encourage and protect our own
industries In that case it favors protection for
protect! n’s sake. But, at the same time, it
knows no such thing as a tariff sacred, immuta
ble, incapable of reform.—St. Paul Pioneer Press,
Rep.
