The Grand Canon of the Colorado has
been penetrated by a steamboat, and a
regular excursion line is to be started
this year or the next. Hitherto it has
been supposed that the Colorado in this
stupendous chasm was impassable, al
though it is true that in 1890 a party of
explorers went down the tortuous river
as far as the Cataract Canon in a small
boat. Inspired by the success of the
trip, a company was organized last year
to run a line of boats through the Grand
Canon. A trip was begun with a small
steam-yacht, which was launched in the
tributary Green River about the middle
of August. It was not a success, the
water proving too shallow in places, and
the propeller breaking. In April of tins
year another attempt was made. In
order to prevent disaster to the propel
lers, heavy iron shields were fastened
below them and to the stem, and the
little steamer glided and bumped safely
over the rocks. The steamers to be used
by the companv will draw only twenty
feet of water,'and necessarily will be
very small. The pioneer boat is the
Major Powell, and in this the first voyage
was made. The Colorado River Is not
by any means an inviting stream to
navigate. It is one succession of cas
cades, rapids, whirlpools, rocks, and
curves. By far the most interesting
things about the canon are the remains
of prehistoric man to be found there.
After the first fifty miles of the Labyrinth
Canon had been traversed a novelty was
presented. In various places along the
sides of the canon were seen the primi
tive human dwellings of an early race.
The party landed and collected a quantity
of wickerware, broken pottery, and
(urow-heads.

JACKSON, GA., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER ISD2.
A FALSE CLAIM.
MTTER failure of the attempt to dis
cover A SINGLE MAN WHOSE WAGES
HAVE BEEN RAISED BY THE m‘kIN
LEY BILL.
Congressman Warner has been making
most persistent search for the man
whose wages have been increased by the
operation of the McKinley Tariff law.
In a speech in the House just prior to
adjournment he declared that the
museum men were looking for just this
individual as a most rare and precious
curiosity, whereupon the American
Economist, the official organ of the Pro
tective Tariff League, produced a list of
twenty-eight instances in which it was
claimed that wages had been raised in
consequence of the operation of the
McKinley law. Each individual case
cited has been carefully investigated,
and the result affords but little hope or
comfort for the museum men. The mac
whose wages have been raised is still un
discovered.
The first claim is that workmen in the
Haskell & Barker Car Company works
in Michigan City, Ind., had obtained an
advance of five per ceut. Now these are
the facts: In October, 1888, the wages
of iron-moulders wero reduced twenty
five cents a day. The following spring
the wages of all others were reduced
twelve and one-half cents a day. Id
May, 1890, more than a year later, all
employes, iron-moulders included,
secured an advance of twelve and one
half cents a day, making the wages just
what they were before the reduction,
except those of the moulders, whose
wages wero twelve and one-half cents
less. All this happened, both the re
duction and the restoration, before the
McKinley Tariff act went into effect.
It is manifest that the restoration of
wages was not produced by the operation
of the law, for when the restoration was
granted the law had not begun to
operate.
It was claimed that Wooster and Stod
dard, manufacturers of jackets and over
alls at Walden, N. Y., employing three
or four men and about twenty girls, had
increased wages five per cent. About two
months ago the girls went on strike, and
as a result wages were readjusted. If
there was an increase, which docs nol
fully appear, it was forced from the firm
by the strike and was not in any waj
due to the operation of the McKinley
Tariff act. The girls now earn about $6
a week. Very few earn $7.
The Camden Woolen Company, of
Camden, Me., was said to have raised
wages ten per cent. The company had
four looms' which had more heavy work
than the others, and more picks to the
•inch. There was a slight raise for work
done on these looms. All the other
hands are working for the same wago3
they have been receiving ever since the
mill started. Wages average from 75
cents to $1.50 a day.
The report that the Rider Engine
Company, of Walden, N. Y., has raised
wages ten per cent., seems to bo wholly
false. There has been no increase what
ever for ten years. On the contrary
wages have been going down steadily
since 1875.
The story that the Hawthorne Mills,
of Glenville, Conn., had advanced wages
fifteen per cent., is equally false. One
man had his pay raised in July last from
$1.15 to $1.25 a day to keep him in the
factory. In the woolen department
about eighty men, all Hungarians,
Poles, Swedes, Danes, and Russians, ex
cept six or eight Germans, had their
wages reduced in June last from $1 and
$1.50 to 90 cents and $1 a day. There
is hardly a mill in the State where “pro
tection to the American workman” is
more of a farce than it is in the
fchorne Mills. Hardly five per cent, of the
employes are American born.
Wages are claimed to have advanced
twenty per cent, in Alfred Dolge’s fac
tory iu Dolgeville, N. Y. Thi3 is not
true, but it ha3 a slight basis of truth,
and this is that basis:
The firm pays exceptionally low
wages, to $1.50 a day for hard
labor, much of which is skilled, and
this makes it essential for the firm to
hold out some inducement to persuade
the men to remain in the mill. This it
does by promising to increase annually
the wages of such of its employes as
have been conspicuously faithful during
the year. Between forty and fifty have
received this advance in 1891. No one
has received any advance this year. This
system of raising wages was adopted by
this firm long before the McKinley bill
was thought of. It is abso utely untrue
that any advance in this mill is the result
of that law.
There is a little planing and sorting
mill in Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., which is
owned by the “Lake Superior Lumber
Company,” and which employs from fif
teen to twenty hands three or four days in
the week. There was a claim set up that
this mill had increased wages fifteen per
cent. This is simply false. There has
been no advance of wages in the estab
lishment.
Equally false is the report that there
has been an advance of twenty-five per
cent, in the wages paid in the factory of
J. C. Pass, in Roxboro. N. C. In the
first place Mr. Pass has no factory what
ever. He is, however, a part owner in a
grist and saw mill run by water-poWer
about two miles from Roxboro, and in
which only three men are employed.
There has been no increase of wages
there. Prices are as low as they ever
jave been.
To what an extremity has the cause of
protection sunk when such instances as
these are cited to show how the McKin
ley law has raised the wages and in
creased the prosperity of the American
workman! Here is a case that is still
worse. It was claimed with a great
flourish of trumpets that H. L. Chap
man, of White Pigeon, Mich., had
voluntarily increased the wiges in his
factory fifteen per cent, because of a
willingness and a desire on his part that
his workingmen should share in a pros-
peritv that was coming to him in bound
less measure as a result of the beneficent
workings of the McKinley Tariff law.
Mr. Chapman manufactuies a patent
forge and employs just two men besides
himself. One i3 a machinist and the
other is a moulder. The machinist is
about twenty-one years old. He went
t# Mr. Cbapraan and offered to work for
twenty-five cents a day and his offer was
accepted. After a while Mr. Chapman
Tound that he was worth more and so
advanced his wages to fifty cents a day.
The moulder was good for nothing so he
discharged him and hired another and
better man. The most he paid the old
hand was $1.25 a day.
Another wildly absurd claim was that
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany had increased wages twenty per
ceut. in its shops at Grafton, W. Ya.
Whoever first made this claim must have
been the victim of a practical joke. The
wages of the Baltimore and Ohio em
ployes there have constantly tended
downward. During the last year hun
dreds of hands have been thrown out
of employment, and many havp beeu
compelled to leave Grafton for other
places in search of work. The foundry,
which employed seventy-five men, has
been closed completely. The force of
machinists has been greatly reduced, the
carpenter shops have been torn down,
an3 nearly all the large number of car
penters formerly employed have been
discharged. Those who have been re
tained have had their wages reduced
from $2.25 a day to $1.75. The rail
road hands are compelled now to work
fourteen hours a day instead of twelve
before they get any extra pay, and those
employed who formerly worked ten
hours a day are only permitted to work
eight now and are paid accordingly.
These are sample cases. The more
they aro examined the more it will be
come apparent that either there has been
made a wilful attempt to deceive in the
matter of these reported increases of
wages, or that the American Economist
has been imposed upon. It is more
probable that the latter is the case, for
in its list is the name of B. Howitzer, of
Chaseburg, Wis., who is said to have
raised wages iu his factory ten per cent.
Chaseburg i3 a little town of about fifty
inhabitants. There is no factory there
and there is no man named Howitzer
there. It is all a hoax.
No one has ever yet claimed that there
have been no individual cases where
wages have been increased within the
United States since the McKinley bill
became a law, but the claim has beeu
made and repeated that no well-authen
ticated case had yet been reported where
wages had been increased iu consequence
of the operation of that law, while all
over the land, in every State and in well
nigh every county, there has arisen case
after case where wages have been re
duced in some protected industry. The
people of the country are taxed osten
sibly to enable the wages of American
workmen to be increased. Wages have
not been increased. They have in many
cases been reduced. What then becomes
of thß money which the Amorican peo
ple pay to the manufacturers in tariff
taxes?—New York World.
“Out of Their Own Mouths.”
No more than casual examination o f
the report of the Treasury Department is
required to prove the utter absurdity o f
Republican assertions that the McKinloy
act has reduced prices.
This report shows, for example, that
tho following protected necessaries of
life advanced in price from the passage
of the McKinley bill to June 30th, 189 L,
is follows:
Bituminous coal, 10 cents a ton.
Manufactures of flax, hemp and jute, 2
jents a pound—due to the cordage trust.
Cotton cloth, 1 cent a yard.
Common window-glass, 1 cent a pound.
Carpets, 8(1 cents a yard.
From 1880 to June 30th, 1891, cotton
cloths advanced 2 cents a yard •, carpets,
5i.23 a yard; pig iron, $5.23 a toD, and
leaf tobacco 8 cents a pound.
Accepting for the present argument
the statement of the Treasury Depart
ment, we find that the farmers are not
receiving so much under the McKinley
act as they received during the period of
the Walker tariff, commonly abused by
the protectionists as f.he “free-trade
era.”
From 1855 to 1860 the farmers re
ceived from 72 to 89 cents a bushel for
their corn; in 1891 they received 57
cents. In the former period they re
ceived from 98 cents to $1.66 a bushel
for their wheat; in 1891 the price was
93 cents.
The fact is that all necessaries of life
have increased in price since the Mc-
Kinley act, while the prices of fame
products have decreased since that ter
rible “free-trade era.” In other words,
the farmer gets less for bis wheat and
pays more for his wife’s calico dress
This is shown by the official figures o:
a Republican Administration.—Nev
York World.
Taxing 1 Other People.
The Hon. William McKinley, in his
essay upon taxation at Council Bluffs,
says: “We will raise the $400,000,000
necessary for the support of our Govern
ment, not by taxing ourselves, but by
taxing the products of other people,
seeking a market in the United States.
We don’t believe in taxing ourselves aa
long as we can find somebody else to
tax.”
If this proposition is true the gentle
man must be very obtuse, or he would
recoil in horror at the inherent meanness
of the thing to be done, to say nothing
of the violation of every principle of
morality embodied in the idea.
Here is the wealthiest and most pros
perous Nation upon the face of the globe
represented by McKinley as being too
mean, too stingy, too unprincipled to
pay for the support of its own Govern
ment. Here is the country where wages
are the highest, where working men all
have pianos in their houses and carpets
on their floors, and where nature has
placed wealth enough for the support of
a hundred times the present population,
represented by McKinley as being so
unpatriotic as not to be willing to sup
port its own Government, but desirous
of shifting the burden upon the poor,
downtrodden producers of the wornout
and bankrupt Nations of foreign coun
tries.
If he had said, “I (Major McKinley')
don’t believe in paying any taxes so long
as I can force anybody else to pay my
taxes,” he would have been hissed from
the platform as preaching immorality
and theft.
Can the Nation do with honor what
would be robbery in the individual?
The essential iniquity of our present
svstem of taxation is that it deadeus the
moral sense of the whole people. Of
what use is it for teachers of righteous
ness to proclaim “Thou shalt not steal’’
as an essential morality, when Governors
are stumping the country crying out and
sisting upon the equity of this mighty
Nation robbing the people of foreign
countries to pay the expenses of sup
porting our Government. —George V.

DEMOCRATIC MS.
GOVERNOR NORTHEN
Tells What the Democrats of Georgia
Have Done for the Negro.
Governor Northen received a letter a
few days ago from G. P. Walker, an offi**
cial of the Afro-American Democratic
club of Chicago, asking him to tell the
club what the Democrats in Georgia had
done to deserve the negro vote. To this
letter the Governor of Georgia sent the
foil owing reply ‘
G. P. Walker s Afro-American Democratic
Club,
“Sir: I beg to acknowledge the re
ceipt of your letter in which you ask me
what ‘D< mocracy has done ’ to secure
the colored vote in this State. In reply,
I may say that, while the people of this
State have done nothing with the direct
view of securing the vote of the colored
people, they have done a great deal which
should go toward inducing the colored
voters to array themselves on the Demo
cratic side in the coming fight, both as
between the Democratic and the Third
party, and between the Democrats and
the Republicans. I think that the iccord
we have made will have its effect in show
ing to the negro that in this State, as in
every other State in the South, his best
friend is the white man of his own sec
tion, the man who best knows him, best
understands his needs, sympathizes most
deeply with him, and feels for him the
truest friendship in a time of deep and
universal distress.
“Of couse, in a short letter I can only
touch upon that record, but I shall give
you a few facts from the record of the
Democratic party as it has conducted tho
affairs of this State since 1872.
‘‘First—With regard to education.
Under the R< publican regime in the state
the negroes were given no facilities and
no opportunities for education. A fund
for educational purposes had accumulated
in the treasury, but this was seized upon
by the Republicans and used to pay
members of the legislature their per
diems of $9 a day, and the schools did
not get a cent. The Democrats on
getting back to power, immediately
restored the fund, and have been steadily
increasing it every year, until in 1891
(the last year for which we have com
plete figures)it reached $1,125,000. This
fund is raised partly by taxation, partly
by fees for inspection of fertilizers, rental
of the State railroad, etc. A direct as
sessment of one and one-third mills is
levied on all property for school purposes,
which raises $500,000. The white peo
ple of the state own $445,000,000 of
property; the negroes own $14,200,000.
The negroes pay the tax for school pur
poses in the amount of $19,000, while the
whites pay on the direct assessments
$481,000. The rest of the sums now be
ing raised by rental, ect., as I have said,
would have to be raised by direct taxa
tion if these properties and fees of the
state were not in existence; so that it
may be stated briefly that the negroes
pay for school purposes $52,000 yearly in
to the state treasury, while the whites pay
$1,062.000. How is this fund dis
tributed as between whites and blacks?
The school attendance among the negroes
is about 40 per cent, as compared with
the white attendance. The negroes re
ceive about 40 per cent, of the entire
fund of $1,125,000. The whites, having
60 per cent, of the attendance. In other
words, the negroes pay taxes for school
purposes in the sum of $19,000, and re
ceive for school purposes from the State
the sum of $450,000. The school facil
ities afforded both races are entirely the
same, the only difference being that the
white people practically support the
schools for both.
“Second—With regard to the oppor
tunities for acquiring property. In 1878
the negroes owned $5,124,878*0f property
in this state. Under democratic admin
istration of offices they have been given
such opportunities for acquiring homes
and other property that they now own
$14,200,000, an increase of $9,075,125 in
thirteen years.
“Th id—As to politics. The Demo
crats in this State in the present cam
paign are making use of the figures just
given you, as showing the prosperity of
the negro under this party, and the splen
did facilities which the party has given
him for the education ol his children.
They are also using the tariff. They
hope to show that the negro, as a con -
sumer, pays taxes to every protective in
dustry of the North and East at the rate
of about 88 to 37 per cent on the neces
saries of life, and that the tariff is a tax
which reaches him in his home and lev
ies tribute on him for the support of
monopolies and trusts.
“The-e are but a few of the things we
have* done and hope to do, I cannot take
NUMBER H.
the time to ndd anything to the above,
though it would* be very easy to do so.
I hope that wh it I have given you will
be sufficient to show you that we have
done a great deal and that we have a
vi rv rtrong claim upon the negro vote of
Georgia. I liopc that, your club may be
r.blc to make good use of it among your
people in 111 ino s, who, if they could but
understand the evil of the tariff and the
opportunities iffered them for better
times and l ettor advantages iu every de
partment of life, w< uld be as good Dem
cra!s ns the people of Georgia. Yours
i eat ec'fully, W. J. Northen.”
Walker has wiitten a reply to the gov
ernor’s letter. In it he says one would
th : -nk from reading the papers up his
way th t the Democracy of the South was
composed of demons, and the negro’s
life was one of continual sorrow and
struggle. lie says further:
“I will, in my feeble way, inform the
Deni' cruts of Illinois that the Democracy
of the !_reat State of Georgia lias raised
lhe Afro American to a higher plane in
life, and will aid her ristcr States in do
ing the same.”
Clevetfiml Against BtirennrrAcy.
The election of Mr. Cleveland will
mean the re orm of the tariff and its final
reduction to a revenue basis under wjrch
American citizens will not be prohibited
or ducouiagcd from acquiring foreign
wealth. It will mean the final and <-
ptete defeat of the force bill and all other
forms of federal coercion in elections. It
will check radicalism in all directions,
and restore to the people of all parties
the full enjoyment of their right of un
coerced political actiou.
Without this latter reform no other re
form can be permanent. The interference
of federal officeholders with the p olitics
of the people of the States is what Mr.
Cleveland denounced as “pernicious ac
tivity.” ITe stopped it under Ids first
administration, and he is pledged to stop
it again.
If federal officeholders can be organ
ized into a politic I machine controlled
by Cabinet officials and heads of bureaus
n Wash tigton; if this machine enn be
used to manipulate primaries and to pack
conventions in the States, then the peo
ple of the States are deprived of their
I ower and right of free action through
their parly organizations, and instead of
democracy be have bureaucracy in its
word form.
Under Mr. Harrison bureaucracy has
betn carried toils worst extreme. His
rt nomination at Minneapolis was con
fessedly the work of his officeholders and
not of his party. If the political action
of the people of the states can be thus
controlled from Washington, it will be
always in ihe power of Washington
< fficeholdcrs to dictate absolucly to one
of the great parties, and to force it to any
length, no matter how dangerous to the
country. The most radical issues will be
thus constantly thrust on the country,
and dissension and turmoil will make
peace impossible and progress out of the
question.
With Cleveland in the White ll< use,
we will have an end of this bossisin ly
Federal bureaucrats. He :s the most
pronounced opponent of the system, and
the system will be destroyed by his re
election.—St. Louis Republic.
The Only One.
Among the records made by the presi
dents of the United States are four hun
dred carefully written opinions in pardon
cases, referred to tens of thousands of pn
g' sof testimony in criminal trials,to de
termine with accuracy whether executive
clemency should be exercised to save the
lives of convicted men and correct the
mistakes of mistrials. If any person, re
publican or democrat, were asked what
president did this immense work with
such care and wrote these opinions, who

THE FIRST OF ALL ISSUES.
The Foundation ot a Free tJovernnient
Menaced by the Force Hill.
This attempt to put all the machinery
of the elections under the control of
Federal power is an attack upon the verv
foundation of free government in this
country. If successful it would confer
upon the party in possession of the gov
ernment a potent means of perpetuating
its rule in spite of the papular will. The
Democratic party seeks no such power
for itself, and it would not tolerate the
exercise of such dangerous power by any
other party. —Philadelphia Record.
The Welfare of Every Section at Stake.
This is a matter in which Massachu
setts has even a greater interest than
South Carolina. It is not a sectioual
measure. It is intended for the coercion
of states of the North, the East, and the
West, as well as at the South. It is the
last resort of a party whose traditions are
those of force and fraud at the polls,
j which is now in a popular minority in
the country, and which sees no way to
regain a majority except by forcing
one . —Boston Post.
Republican success in November means
a force law, and such an enactment means
most grievous interference with the pros
perity and social organization of the
South. — Nashville American.
The issue of home rule elections leads
all others on the Democratic side, because
it is the nvst vital as well as the most
fundamental issue.— New 1 orlc Mercury.
Overcoming a Bird’s Migratory In
stinct.
The migration of birds is due to in
stinct. But this instinct may be easily
overcome and suppressed. On the roof
of the City Hall in Donauwoerth (Ba
varia), a couple of storks hove a nest
which they have not left for three years.
The first time they remained because
there was a young bird to w eak to fly
south. The parent birds were not will
ing to leave their little one and stopped
to feed it. They liked the winter and
have stopped in their nest ever since; hav
j rear young every year, all of whom left
. when the cold season came and the rest
j of the storks departed for the south. But
( the old couple remain and do not seem
I to have any worse health for being ex
posed to the cold northerly winters on
( a high house top.—[Boston Advertiser.
