A GIGANTIC I1UMUIU.
The White Slave* of Protection Painted by
a Republican Organ.
When Walter Heaant wrotq his novel,
“The Children of Gibeon,” picturing the
awful wretchedness of the sewing girls
of London, Amorlcan readers did not
dream that the same condition of aiTairs
also existed in this country, yet the re
cent exposure of the "sweater system”
in Chicago has shown to the world that
the white slaves of our protected indus
tries are even moro miserable than the
unfortunates of London. In Chicago it
was discovered that women and girls
aro wearing out their lives sewing
twelve hours a day for $1.08 per week,
and commenting on this fact, the Clii
cago Journal, a republican organ and
howling supporter of the McKinley tar
iff, has the following to say:
“Tbeso scenes of wretchedness [in the
protected clothing manufactories
Chicago] are the product of a remorse
less business competition. The values
which these poor slaves create go almost
directly Into the coffers of great business
houses. But the rich merchants do not
feel that they are to blame. Their idoa
is that business is business, and charity
is charity. They see no way to do ex
cept to buy as cheap as they can, sell at
the best that the market will yield, and
donate to the poor whatever sum they
see tit out of their profits. They decline
to interfere with the laws of trade,which
they consider as inexorable as the laws
of physics. If ohlldren 10 years old
have to sew twelve hours a day for $1.08
a week, they disclaim any responsibility
for It,"
These protected manufacturers of
clothing are growing rich while their
employes, living in the utmost squalor,
are vainly struggling against starvation
and disease, and yet Mr. McKinley who
Is on the stump In Ohio to-day Is telling
the people of that state that the tariff
increases the wages of the working
classes, and prevents them from being
brought Into competition with the pau
per labor of Europe. In all parts of the
country, however,the veil Is being lifted
and the people are seeing the tariff
swindle In all of Its Iniquity, and > they
are preparing to strike down the politi
cal party which Is {responsible for the
robbery and oppression.
The publication of tbe sufferings of
the sewing women of the protected
clothing factories of Chicago came In ill
time for Hr. McKinley, because the
Democratic press of Ohio are reciting
facts regarding the condition of tbe poor
wretches In refutation of the assertions
of the high taxes that his tariff protects
and elevates American labor, and already
the Republican organa whloh at first
cried out against tbe wlekednes of the
sweater system," as it Is called, have
suddenly become dumb in regard to the
matter, because they realize that the
exposure of the fact that employes of
factories are paid 8 cents a dozen for
sewing trousers, and that a whole week
of bard drudgery only nets them tbe
miserable pittance of $1.08 la also a ter
rible exposure of the hypocrisy of the
men who have been holding up tbe
tariff system as a panacea for all tlie ills
of wblcb tbe Buffering and discontented
people complain.

A Well Administered ICelmkt-
Colored People.
A case came before Judge PUsbury
yesterday, in which an old colored mau
was sentenced to the chain-gang for in-
terferiug with a policeman in the dis
charge of Ilia duty.
From the evidence it seems that a son
of the defendant was under arrest for
tcaling a coat. While being taken to
the lock-up by Policeman Fagan,
cowd of colored people followed tlio
youngster and tbo policeman and inter
fered with the officer in tbo discharge of
his duty. Among tbe crowd was tbo
father of tbe boy under arrest, who very
foolishly attempted to rescue him
Of course, this attempt at rescue was
simply idiotic, and only resulted in the
arrest of tbe father on the above charge,
After the son had Ipleaded guilty of
tbe theft of the coat, the old man (his
father) was arraigned on tlie charge of
attempting to rescue him from the po
liceman. He was found guilty and sen
tenced to the ohalngang for six months.
This ought to be a warning to colored
people. This class have an insane habit
of following policemen whenever they
make an arrest, and in some way inter
fering with the course of law. Wblto
people never do anything of the kind.
They know bettor. It is to be hoped
that hereafter colored people will mind
their own business, and quit following
policemen when they make arrests.
What Shall It Us?
That is the question to bo asked in tbe
meeting this afternoon of tbe board of
directors of tbe "Hotel Company," as It
is familiarly called.
It la more than likely, too, tbat the
question will be answered one way or
another, as the date of completion Is
ao near that a name is badly needed.
While there are scores of pretty and
appropriate names, many of whloh have
been suggested through tbe columns of
Tub Timks-Recordkr, there Is one that
seems to ootno nearest of all of filling
the requirements, and that is “The
Windsor."
Around this name linger associations
of regal splendor{for many generations
In English history; “Windsor Castle"
being the residence of England’s royal
family, and a name that has carried with
It, wherever our language la spoken, all
that U attractive and atyllsh In the way
of hotel names.
By common usage, only first-class
hotels are named “Tlie Windsor;" and
apart from the historical associations
derived from England, there la a sonor
ous beauty about the name that cannot
fall to place and attract even the most
fastidious.
Can anybody find any fault with tbe
name of “Wldsor ?” If so, what Is the
objection ? There are only a few hotela
of that namo—and none in Georgia; and
these few In the North and elsewhere
are atrlotly first-class.
“The Windsor, Amerleus, Ga., sounds
“toney” enough for anybody on earth,
even if the want to pay 850 per day
board; and they board of directors may
go farther for a name and do much
worse, If they pass “Tbe Windsor” by
for something leas regal.

coats belonged to different periods, and
that both are geuuine.
