WHO PAYSTH£ INCREASE?
There never was a-greater fallacy
than the Republican claim that pros
tection has the effect of increasing
wages, says the Atlanta Journal:
Bnt suppose, for the sake of argu
ment, that we admit that it is true
—the question then arrises, by whom
is this increase of wages paid? It
is not by the producers of the articles
protected, for they do not increase
the wages of their employes. They
avail themselves of the benefit of the
protection, by adding the duty, or at
least a part of the duty, to their
goods. The consumer, then, is the
man who pays the increased wages
(if they are increased) and not the
producer or manufacturer. Is this
right? Upon what principle of jus
tice or political equality can one
large class of the community, who
are not at all benefited by the system,
be taxed for the prefit
of a smaller class even
when the benefit is in the form
increasing of the wages of labor?
The increase of wages, like the duty,
must necessarily increase the cost of
the product of that labor, and the
protected and benefitted producer,
instead of the consumer, should pay
the increase.
But the fact is that increased dus
ties are not followed by an increase
of wages. They rather have the ef
fect of giving the producer or manu
facturer more power to dictate the
wages of labor, because he is freed
from foreign competition. The De
mocrats have called in vain, from
Massachusetts to Iowa, during the
late election campaign, for the pro
duction of a single instance in which
the increase of duties by the McKin
ley Jaw has been followed by an in*
crease of wages. They might as well
have “called spirits from the vastly
deep.”
THE BANNER’S INTERVIEWS.
For several weeks past the Banner
has been publishing interviews with
the congressman who will go to
Washington from Georgia soon. It
was the Banner's purpose to give
these interviews for more reasons
than one.
In the first place they made good
and interesting reading. They were
the congressmen’s own views, told
in their own words, and bore upon
the most, important measures which
in their opinions should come up be
fore the next congress.
Again it is the people’s right to
know what our congressmen hope to
accomplish for them. They want to
know what to expect of them.
Congressman Thomas G. Lawson
of this oistrict,the first of the mem
bers interviewd by the Banner says
tariff reform is the first duty the
Democratic 52nd congress owes the
people. In this he was endorsed by
every other congressman inter
viewed. They all agree ho? «v t that
the free coinage of silver meat be
a plank which the party platform
must have in it. It is their opinion
that tariff reform comes first and the
free coinage comes next in order of
the most important legislation for
the next congress.
NOT A WHIT BETTER.
The ever reliable editor of the
Nashville American remarks that,
rioters, who turned loose rapists,
cat-throats and thieves to prey upon
society, are not a whit better thar
the felons they liberated. The ques
tion is should not society consider
them even worse? The crimes ol
which the convicts were guilty were
most of them committed, in all proba-
bility, under some kind of pressure,
either from passion of necessity,
while the outrage of which the mi
Hers stand accused was deliberate
and cold-blooded. They had plenty
of time to consider the result of the
violation ot law they contemplated,
and const quently are, in every sense
responsible. Under such circum
stances their act had all the elements
of guilt that distinguished murder
rom manslaughter. The same deed
may be committed with varying de*
grees of criminality dependent upon
the opportunity in ct»ch case for re
flection. The rioters, in turning the
convicts loose on the people, practi
cally adopted as their own, if not
the crimes of which the latter already
had been guilty, certainly those of
which they might be guilty in future.

penalties for wrong-doing is not re

but the protection of society. If a
man once commits an act by which
the welfare of society is endangered,
the reasonable presumption is that
he ia capable of again committing an
effense of like character, consequent
ly society locks him up for its own

It is told that after the defeat of the
Chili governmant troops at the battle of
Concon, Vina del Mar, near Valpariso,
a little lad of eight or nine years of axe,
batless and barefooted, arrived in the
town of Vina del Mar and gave a toler
able circumstantial account 6f the fight.
Ac first his story was not believed, but
little by little his tale was credited and
listened to with astonishment that a
child of his tender age should have been
present at such a sanguinary encounter.
He quite artlessly Btated that when the
San Fernando battalion left the town
with banners flying and |band playing
he imagined the troops were going out
to exercise, and followed them till he
found himself on the field of battle
When the defeat and rout ensued he
joined a group of stragglers and at last
found his way back to Vina del Mar,by
way of Quilpne, at which place some
body gave him a piece of bread and
drink of water.
When a Missouri cabbage was cut

developed little heads in a cluster,about
the size of a walnut and and nearly as

tbe Lodge in the lone
Election In Bradberry’s District.
- There was au election for Justica of the I degree than the Rev. J. 3.Shipman,now
Says the Macon EveniogNews:
The Diocesan convention of Georgia
will meet next Wednesday, in Macon,
for the third time, to electa successor to
the lamented Bishop Beckwith.
In connection with the election a
prominent Episcopalian calls attention
to one or two vital questions which pre
sent themselves. Many cooiend that it
is unnecessary to go outside of the state
to make a choice for a Bishop. They say
that it is by far better to select a minis
ter'within the diocese, one familiar with
its needs and acquainted with its past
and future. They claim that such a
man ia needed, and that there are any
number ot ministers in tbe diocese who
are in every way capable of filling tbe
high office with credid to themselves
and the diocese.
All agree that a wide-awake, active,
aggressive man is needed—one who is at
tbe same time careful and conservative,
ever keeping at heart the best interests
.of the church aad tbe diocese.
Neither an extreme high churchman
or an ultra low churchman is wanted,
but rather a man of broad and compre
hensive views, who appreciates fully
tbe sanctity and impressiveness of an
elaborate ritual, and yet at the same
time feels that ho can worship God with
tbe same fervor in tbe humblest chapel.
A true man of God is needed, one
whose mind thoroughly accords with
tbe teachings of his own church, and
yet with a sympathetic touch and aid
ing band for all who call themselves
Christians.
Tbe following ia an extract from a
private letter from oue of the conven
tion delegates to a friend in this city
suggesting a new candidate for the
bishopric:
