visors of elections. No Republican in Con
gress contended more strongly for federal
interference in elections than did the
young Congressman from Ohio. He made
a speech in ihe House soon after the extra
session of the Forty-sixth Congress began
in which he went to extremes in advocat
ing the right of Congress to
a cordon of armed soldiers around
every ballot box in the South
and to put the elections ih the hands
of supervisors appointed by Federal
judges. In this speech he characterized
Democratic opposition to Federal interfer
ence in elections as “a bold and wanton
attempt to wipe from the law all protec
tion of the ballot box and surrender its
purity to the unholy hand of the hired re
peater ana its control to the ballot box
stuffers of the great cities of the South and
the tissue ballot party of the South.”
A little later in his remarks he said:
It looks now »b if candidate Harrison

back home. Where is the Democrat that
overshadows Cleveland?

This is about as good a specimen of
bloody shirt literature as that long debate
afiords. In the course of his eloquent re
marks Mr. McKinley paid this glowing
tribute to the Southern States:
Restored, but not reconstru ted, they are as
intent upon controlling the government abso
lutely, in defiance of the constitution, and In
the.r own way, as they were in the old days ol
sis very.
We are sure that Mr. McKinley has re
pented of these harsh words beiore now,
for certainly so pious a patriot as he
would not think of coming except for
missionary service among a people whose
political opinions and practices are “in
defiance of the constitution”—and we are
assured on the highest authority that Mr.
McKinley is not coming as a missionary to
tutmus from the error of .our way.
l»r. McKinley gave his Interpretation of
tbi, Oa-ts of the njmAerat* in Cringrcii to
present A he* preschco of bayonets at the
polls in the South, as follows:
Whit does this mein? Is it too violent a
presumption, Is It too strong a statement to say
that the. party which for four years sought to
destroy free government by arms arc now seek
ing by the more peaceful but leu mauly meth
ods of coercion and intimidation to control the
government which they could not destroy?"
Toward the conclusion of his speech Mr.
McKinley paid especial attention to the
Southern Democrats in the House. He
told them very plainly that they had no
business there and were not fit to be en
trusted with a voice in the government of
this country. One qL his compliments te

Ben Harrison attended a game of base
ball the other day. This might strengthen
him some but for the fact that President
Cleveland has a cousin who is one of the

Democracy.
Large quantities of cotton, it is said, are
about to be shipped from Liverpool to
New York. This does nqt indicate that
England has gone into the cotton raising
business, but only that a lot of New York
cotton speculators have got caught in an
August corner, and find it cheaper to buy
cotton in Liverpool and bring it back than
to pay their losses.
Jay Gould has suffered much of late
from sleeplessness. The New York Even'
ing World suggests a remedy. It is that
the “Little Wizzard” try the soothing ef
fects of a great good deed, something like
a gift of $10,000,000 from his superfluous
.wealth to build model tenements for the
poor after the fashion of the Peabody
Rouses in London.
Gen. Beauregard has resigned the
office of commissioner of public works, to
which he was recently elected in New Or
leans. Til- uoudiiiuu of bin lit, til ill ia iue
them was couched inv the following lan-
guage:
Let me suggest In all kindness, but with
great plainness of speech, to the gentlemen on
the other side, who so recently jrcre engaged In
the work ol trying to break up this government,
that they are getting along fast enough, they
already have too much power, and this is made
more anil still more apparent day by day. as wc
witness the use of the power now reposed In
their hands."
It is to be hoped that Mr. McKinley’s
suspicions of the South may be removed
when be comes among us. In his speech
of April, 1879, he slandered a people of
whom he knew nothing and it will be
quite appropriate after he comes among
us and finds how nice we really are for him
to riseiu his place in Congress, and request
that the unworthy remarks which he made
in the Forty-sixth Congress be expunged
fdrtn the Record.
Judge Kelley, of course, has a per
fect right to express his opinion, as to
the wisdom or unwisdom of the Mills hill
but he has no right to question the patriot
ism of the men who supported it*
“Symmetry of production and
prosjierity.” Does Judge Kelley mean
that when one branch of pro
duction, because of natural advan
tages, flourishes exceedingly it is to be
trimmed back in order that other branches
not so blessed may keep pace with it? In
this way “symmetry” of growth could be
maintained, but national development
would in its proportions resemble a trim,
med front yard cedar rather than a forest
oak.
Judge Kelley says the evident design of
the bill was to “maintain the industries of
the old South, cotton, rice and sugar grow
ing,” and reduce the people of the North
to the condition of the negroes of the
South, “by closing the furnaces, work
shops, woolen and cotton mills, steel and
bar iron woiks of the whole North and
West.” Is there anything in the bill to
justify him in charging the Democrats
with such an infamous purpose? The
three industries which he says are specially
favored an cotton, sugar and rice growing.
The bill does not deal with cotton. That
is free. The tariff does not aflect it, ex
cept to increase the cost of growing it,
and all .the Mills bill can do is to re
quire fewer sacrifices from men en
gaged in the cotton growing
business. It can hardly be said that the
government extends a special favor to a
man when, after taxinghim many years for
the benefit of his neighbors, it decides to de
mand less from him.
Nor is special favor shown the suga
grower. The tariff, laid principally for
revenue, has given him high protection—
much higher than the average. The Mills
bill cuts this protection down 20 per cent,
when the general reduction is only 7—
from 47 to 40. While remembering the
promise of the Democratic platform to
move cautiously in reducing the tarifl a
deeper cut than 20 per cent, could hardly
have been made by the committee. The
case of rice is not greatly diflerent. The
reduction on “cleaned” is from 2} to-2 cents
per pound—11 1-9 per cent.

The bill touches the
North at more points than the South only
because that section has more varied in
terests. In tho few instances in which the
South benefits by protection no discrimina
tion is shown.

The pipe line for carrying oil from the

No Favor Shown.
Tiie last number of the Forum contains
an article by Judge Wm. D. Kelley on
uTKo Source* of National Thrift.” Thpro
is nothing rental aable about the article,
which is but a rehash of the state argu
ments in favor of a high tariff which it
has been his habit to put in print or
ipeeeh on every possible occasion for a life
The Question nr Wages.
The fight against the Mills biii is being
catried on mostly by manufacturers and
the influences they can control. The prin
cipal reason they give for their opposition
is that the high tariff compels, er enables,
them to pay high wages to their employes.
NO one questions that most of these manu
facturers are amiable gentlemen, within
whose breasts glows a fervid philanthropy
but they also bear the reputation of being
very sharp business men. Under tho cir
cumstances, the instinct of the business
man, which prompts him to pay no more
for labor than its market price, must be
continually fighting with the impulse
of the philanthropist, which
prompts him to give to
the poor everything he can spare. It is
creditable to the gentlemen who are op
posing the reduction of taxation that with
them i he nobler sentiment has prevailed,
and, doubtless fearing the Beifish weakness
of human nature in themselves, they are in
favor of being compelled by law to pay
high wages. It would be uujust to insinu
ate that, being the agents appointed to
collect from the people the money for the
payment of the high wages, any proportion
of it sticks to their fingers. That would
be to reduce the gentlemen from the high
moral level on which they stand.
Perhaps, however, many of the gentle
men would prefer to say that the high
tariff “enables” them to pay high wages,
On the whole, that is, the more
modest way to put it. Then it would be
fair to ask if the principle that protection
increases wages is one of general applica
tion. France and Germany both have
protective tariffs, while England has not,
yet in some trades wages are over 100 per
cent, higher in England than in Germany.
Thus the average weekly wages of German
tailors ia $3.41: English, $7.40; French,
brought from Europe under a contract
with Mr. Ammidown
Mr. Armmidown needs to bestir himself
in this matter, both for his own sake and
that of tiie philantorophic organization of
which he is the official representative. His
position is at tiie best unfortunate. The
Herald has a wide circulation and a habit
of sticking to what it says, so that, even
if he be slandered, Mr. Armmidown will be
at no little cost of money and labor to set
himself right in the eyes of his hitherto
admiring countrymen. He may even find
it necessary to enter into a costly suit, in
order to vindicate himself.
This is on the supposition that Mr. Am
midown is innocent. It is hard to believe
he can be anything else, for his posi
tion, if guilty, would be nothing
less than horrible. Just think
of the intense scorn with which he would
be regarded by his brethren of the League 1
They could see in him nothing less than a
vile traitor—a man wlio, selected to lead,
in a glorious work, for private advantage
compromised the reputation of his trust
ing co-workers. While they were spend
ing thousands of dollars to make the
wages of American workmen high and pro
tect them against the pauper labor of
Europe, he, their president, was sneaking
some of this same pauper labor into the
country, in order that his pockets might
be the more quickly fiilled.
Mr. Amtnidown should be found
guilty, the members of the. League owe it
to themselves to make a searching inquiry
as to the evil effects of their president’s per
fidy. It may be possible that many other
members have followed his example. If
so, nothing but severe measures will vindi
cate the high purposes of the League.
Congressman Grimes carried the Harris

The Fourth is now about the liveliest dis
trict in the State.
Indnstriul Germany.
One of the last publications of the St Ale-
Department is made up of consular reports
on the industrial condition of Germany in
1387. The following is a passage from one
of the reports:
The wagci ot the worklug people remain
about tho same; in fact, they are so low thst
bey could not well be much lower. As It IS, the
laboring population of the empire havo a con
stant battle to wage against want and misery..
Hardly a man Is nblo'to earn enough to support
his family in the simplest manner without be
ing aided by his wife iu some way. They eat the
plainest food, and dwell in forbidding looking,
:lcil tenements, anil oftentimes a whole
ono room. Meat In
parts of the empire Is a luxury obtained but
once or twice a week. Long honra of labor
scanty food and poor compensation Is the rulo
among them. Black, bread and potatoes make
up tho cheap diet of many of them. They can
not live with any decency on tho wages they git.
This is a very daik picture. When it is
remembered, in addition, that in many dis
tricts of Germany nearly Half the indus
trial establishments are run through Sun
day, because the workmen cannot afford to
lose one day in seven from their labor, the
almost desperate, condition of Germnn
working people may he realized. Yet it is
to Germany that American protectionists
are forever pointing as the country show,
ing the most undeniable evidences of the
beneficence of a high tariff. They espe
cially point to the condition of German
workingmen, Baying that protection has-
given them better wages ami more employ
ment. Even admitting this to be true,
the above extract shows their condition to
bo one of ntter misery, though they work
almost every waking hour. Thousands of
them desert their houses every year for
foreign lands, and doubtless the number
would be gieatcr did not poverty prevent.

about no disaster in which they will not

charge that the Democratic party is the
enemy of the country which it governs.
He says:
