COLUMBUS, OA-, SEPTEMBER .30, L888
liaise His Salary.
Then* i« no opposition in this city and
section to the proposition of this pajrer,
to increase the salary o the Governor of
this State. All agree that the pay for
such services aB a flood man can render
is too small, and the only difference of
opinion s as to the sum at which it
ouflht to be fixed.
No one puts the amount at less than
five thousand dollars, and several would
have it as hiflh as ten thousand dollars.
There is a very general, in fact, an al
most unanimous opinion, in favor of so
arranging the salary of the Governor
that he can give all his time and atten
tion to the service of the State, without
being annoyed and worried by the neces
sary expenses of his office, for which the
State has failed to provide.
The ItusHell Register, quoted else
where, is of the opinion that the time is
already here when a poor man can no
longer hold high office. This is true, but
it is not here to stay, provided the Legis
lature of Georgia rises to the occasion
and votes to give her Governor a
salnry which will make him wholly her
servantjand independent of the rest.of the
world.
It is very little to expe ;t that the mern-
bsrs of the Legislature, to be elected nex*
Wednesday, willseeto it that the wealth
or want of it, of any man shall have no
practical effect upon his aspirations for
the office of Governor.

An Old W»g<* ComparUmi.
That courageous, if not discreet, high
tariff Republican newspaper, the New
York Mail and Express, reprints some
figures of the wages of weavers and cost
of living of a family of five, in Massachu
setts and Lancashire, England, which
Carroll D. Wright, as head of the Massa
chusetts Bureau of Labor Statistics, made
public some six years ago.
The income per week of the Massachu
setts family was as follows: The weaver,
$'>.<►4; two children in weave room, $4.00;
total, $10.30. The expenses were $7.99$,
leaving the Massachusetts family $2.30
ahead.
The earnings of the Lancashire family
were: The weaver, $5.28; two children
in weave room, $1.08; total, $6.96. The
expenses were $6.73}, leaving a balance
in favor of earnings of 22 cents.
This is a favorite set of figures
for protectionists to quote, hut they
are easily turned against those who
use them. Leave the children out
of the question. The Massachusetts
weaver earns $5.64 a week and
his expenses are $7,994 a week, he fall
ing behind $2.35. The Englishman earns
$5,28, and his expenses are $0 73, or only
$1.45 more than his wages. The Massa
chusetts man works sixty hours a week,
« > that he gets 9.4 ‘ents an hour. The
Lancashire man; works' fifty-six hours a
week, and so receives the same amount
p*r hour as the .Massachusetts man—9.4
cents. The latter earns thirty-six cents
more th in the former, by working four
hours longer. As the expenses of the
English family, using precisely the same
articles as the Massachusetts family, are
$1 .20 lees than those of the latter, the
English weaver, standiug albne, is that
much better off than his competitor.
Each weaver hits to use his children to
help out, and the two Massacausetts
children earn $2.9S more per week than
the English children. But the latter
only work half time, being supposed to
me the other half in going to school,
while the former work full time just as
older operatives.
If the English children worked full
time, they would earn $3.36 a week, and
the weaver’s income would be $8.64, and
the balance in his favor at the end of the
week, would be $1.90 as against $2 30,
which the Massachusetts man would
have over.
On the other hand, if the Massachu
setts children worked on half time, as do
the English children, they would earn
only $2 33 a week, and the family’s in
come would be $7.97 as against a weekly
expenditure of $7.99 1-2, a deficit of two
and a half cents as against the English
man’s overplus of 22 1 2 cents.
These figures show that the English
weaver is in a better condition than the
Massachusetts weaver, that he earns
just as much money and lives as com
fortable at less coet. And it is as well to
say that hours are shorter and wages
generally higher in Massachusetts than
any other New England State, so that the
best comparison possible was made with
Lancashire, and still the Lancashire
showing is the better.

The Republican tariff bill, as outlined in this
morning's dispatches, proposes to give free

deceptive scheme show clearly its inferiority to the

form.—N w York Star. Dem.
Throughout this entire cunoaign it will pay
both sides in a moral way to remember that
James G. Blaine w ote when Secretary of state
under President Garfield: “Undoubtedly *he in
equalities iu the wages of English and American
oneratives are more than equalized by the greater
derful of political revolutions, the South efficiency ot the latter and their longer hours of
l»bor.”—Philadelphia Times, Iud.
The Atlanta correspondent of the New York
Journalist sars that nothing will induce Gov
Gordon to accept a thirl term at the expiration
of his present tenure of office. We easily accept
this startling political n. ws. Nothing but a
change in the constitution could induce him to
holu on — Savannah Times, Dem.
The ta-iff disci.srion could never have been
put upon the plane where it bel gea had it not
emanated from a profoundly earnest and exalted
sourc . such as the President’s message, and no
President before Mr. Cleveland ever had the
courage to stake his own fate on the intelligent
outcome of that discussion.—Greenesooro Herald
and Journal, Dem.
Every dog has his day, and “Pagan Bob’’ is
doubtless philosopher enough to take this com
forting view of the situ tion. The Colonel made
only one speech far the New York Republicans,
but it was more than enough; in fact it is doubt
ful if Warner Miller will be able t repair the
awful hole in the Republican canvars working
“double-turn” until the day of election. Inger-
soliism may amuse the thoughtless for a time,
but the day soon comes when it has a bad effect
on the papular mind Mr. Mill r has taken high
ground on the great issue of temperance relorm,
and ue is a sens bie man to protest against the
h to-<lay responsible for the conduct of
the affairs of this mighty nation, and for
our determination, under great tempta
tion, to do nothin ; that would imperil
the success of the party with which our
destinies are hound up.”
Now, as for years prior to the great
civil war, this section is vested with the
most of the responsihil ty for the good
government of this country. In both
branches of Congress, the Southern mem
bers compose the majority of the Demo
cratic party, very much so iu the House
and by an overwhelming majority in the
Senate.
No party measure can succeed in the
House unless Democrats agree to it, and
whether or not Democrats agree to it, de-
p oids entirely upon what course the
S luthern Democrats believe it right to per.
sue. Tnis responsibility, which our Rep
resentatives did not seek, but which they
will never attempt to avoid, puts them
just were they have always been Since we
had a Government and a Co istitution,
foremost in shaping the policy of A.d-
ministrations.
How senseless it is, therefore, for news
papers in this section, professing Demo
cratic principles, to ignore politics en
tirely and never say a word about party
issues, when the Democratic members
from all over the South, and especially
this State, have much of the policy of
the Democratic party in their keeping.
The best and wisest course for a Dem
ocratic paper in Georgia to pursue is to
show our Representatives, who in Con
gress stand by us and for U3, and for the
Democratic party of the country, that
home people endorse fully and heartily
all they have done in Jhpport of a Dem
ocratic Administration and a Democratic
policy.
Georgia’s influence in Congress ought
to make every Georgian proud of his
State, and the manner in which her ten
members stand by their party not only
bears out Mr. Elliott’s assertion, but
shows as well how thoroughly they real
ize the obligations they are under as
representatives of Georgia Democrats.

Two Prices for the Same Good*.
One of the worst effects of the high
tariff system in this country is that many
of our over-protected manufacturers sell
their goods at much less prices abroad
than at home. Goods produced in the
same factory, by men who are paid the
same wages, and who keep the same
hours, are sold for one price in the
United States and another and much
lower price in other countries.
This has been proven over and over
again, but no piece of evidence is quite so
direct and positive as that contained in a
letter to the Mail, of Hagerstown, Md.

It is likely that the members of the
Uaited States Supreme Court will always
wetr gowns, but it is due to those great
jurists to say that not one of them has
ever appeared upon the bench wearing a
bustle. — Louisville Courier-Journal.
H iw does our contemporary know they
do not? The tailor-made gown, which
our dignified Supreme Court Justices
affect, hides the person as effectively as
a woman’s water-proof covering in rainy
weather. A veracious correspondent
casually mentioned the fact the other
day that the chief officials in the Treas
ury Department sat on what might be
called life preservers filled with air. He
never would have learned that mu-'h if
the aforesaid officials wore gowns. As
to the Supreme Court Justices and their
bustles, or want of them, nobody know*
except the guardian of the mysterious
robing room, and he certainly will not
tell.
Mr. W. R. Gorman, in a communica
tion to the West Pent Alliance, on the
proposed constitutional amendment in
creasing the number of Judges of the
Supreme Court, makes two mistakes. He
states that the people of Georg a, in 1S60,
“had doable the wealth they have ever
had since.” This is only true by count
ing the slaves as part, of th • wealth of
1600. Leaving them out, the property of
Georgia is worth more now than in 1660,
He states also that Texas has a Supreme
Court of only three Judges. This is
true, hut Texas has another court of
three judges called the Court of Appeals
which relieves the Supreme Court, so in
Texas there are six instead of three Ap
pellate Judges.

In 1872, for the Presidential election, the total
registry in New Y rk city was 149,>*10. In 1876 it
was '83,0*4 In 1880 it was217.023. In 1884 it was
240,906 The probable total this year is 265,000.
The large measure of increase from 1872 to 1876
is attributable in part to the annexation in 1873
of the annexed wards, wbicn were prior to that
a part of Westchester county.
Over tweutv-two business men of Waterloo,

All the intelligence reaching Washington from
Michigan concurs in the view that it must be
set down in the list of doubtful States. The Be
publicans are undoubtedly alarmed, and are Re-
doubting their efforts. The Democrats have also
determined to work harder than ever before for
the handsome prize of its electoral vote. Every
member of the House from Michigan, Democrats
and Republicans, has gone home to take part in
the canvass. Four years ago Blaine only carried
Michigan by a meagre majority, and from what
is said on both sides, the Democratic outlook is
much better now than in 1884.

love. Several years ago he sent for a
