To-day we publish
we publish a list show
ing the excessive tariff tax on the ne
cessities of life, while luxuries were
admitted, either free of all duty, or for
an Inconsiderable tariff.
That was the strongest evidence of
class leglslatloif on the part of the Re
publican government's discrimina
tion against the poorer classes who
oompose the majority of the popula
tion, In favor of the wealthy manufac
turer, out of whom the Republicans
squeeze their glgantio corruption
fund. This is equivalent to getting the
corruption fund out of the laboring
classes, for that Is, practically, where
It oomes from. .
Another favorite argument of the
Republican party I* that protection
protects the laboring classes, add as a
consequence their wages are much
higher. The fallacy of this proposi
tion is at once evident when it is Con
sidered what really regiilitcs wages.
Wages are regolated(l) by the stand
ard of living among the agrlnultural
classes; (2) by new and improved
forms of machinery; (8) by the compe
tence and Intelligence of the laborer.
If a man’s Btundard of living can be
comparatively high as a farmer In
this country where laud Is aheap and
plentiful, some extra Indubihent, In
the shape of good wages, must be of
fered him before lie wi)l.nCnstnt t6 try
Ills chances in the 1 workshop rnther
than on the fnrm. This is one of the
economic laws which control wages.
It is well known that among the
American agricultural,. Classes the
standard of living Is, comparatively,
lower than among nny other peoplo in
any other country. And,ns an Inevit
able consequence, wages must be
higher, or more of them would seek
the farm.
Again, improved machinery re
quires more, elllclent laborers, and
their wages must be higher propor
tionately. Amerlnn Is alwnys in the
lead in the adoption of new and im
proved machinery, consequent upon
which Is the progress in the efficiency
of her labor. This Is another cause as
to why wages are necessarily higher
In this country.
It will not be denied by any Ameri
can that our laborers are far more
competent and intelligent in every
way than are foreign laborers, and of
oourse they can command better
wages.
This consideration places the ques
tion of wages entirely out of the dle-
oussion of the protective tariff. Nor
does the matter affeot the employer,
who, as a consequence, gets more work
and gets It done better than does the
foreign manufacturer.
It cannot be denied that it Is the
power of monopoly whloh has wedded
the Republican party to the support of
this measure, 'fake that away from
them and the g.'pi p. would be a dead
letter.
Tne facts in the mai
plate industry are so overwhelmingly
against the McKinley tariff bill that
we do not see how any reasoning or
ir, can
the
reasonable man, for that nfntt<
remain on the McKinley side of
fence.
Our average yonrly consumption Is
878,000,000 pounds of tin and terne
plates.
Undet the old law the tax on this
amount'was but $6,780,000. Under the
new tariff law the American people
pay a tax of $14,016,000 on their annual
consumption.'
Only about. 2 per cent! of the con
sumption is made in this country, or
according to McKinley himself 18,646,-
719 pounds every year.
Uunder the old law $1 would bay
thirty-six'pounds of tin plate. Under
McKinley’s law the same amount buys
only twenty pounds.
These are the faots, and the Repub
lican's do not attempt to deny them.
And this Is qot the only industry In
which plain facts are overwhelmingly
agninst the excessive tariff tax on the
necessities of life.

From Thursday’s KvEMisa Hrkai.u.
Mr. 11. W. Bikes received a telegram
about 7 o’olook this morning from At
lanta, bearing the sad tidings of the
death in that oity, of one of Albany’s
most esteemed citizens, Mr. Andrew J.
Bikes.
The sad event ocourred at 5 o’olook
this morning, and tho news will be a
great surprise to his hosts of friends
in Albany, although, 1m was known to
have been in had health for several
months past.
Borne two months ago Mr. Bikes, ac
companied by his faithful wire, went
to Indian Springs, where lie hoped to
recover his lest health, but after a
short stay at that resort went to Ashe
ville, N. C., a place known nil over the
country as a great home for Invalids.
After Mr. Sikes had been in Ashe
ville a short while, the letters that Ins
friends and relatives In Albany re
coived were brighter, and showed the
writer to bo in a hopeful frame of
mind, and a letter that his brother re.
oelved Sunday, said that he might be
expected home the latter part of the
month, greatly Improved in health.
But that dread disease, consumption
Is a monster that will, in n few hours,
blight the fondest hopes of a human
heart, aud the telegram received this
morning, was a totally unexpected
message. It was not known that Mr.
Bikes had left Asheville, ami his
brother Is unable to say how he come
to be in Atlanta. It is supposed lioW'
ever, tbnt lie suffered a relapse, and
knowing lie could not recover, wished
to die at bis borne ami among old
friends, but was not permitted by
Providence to see the familiar faces of
loved ones again.
The corpse reached the city on the
Central train this afternoon, and will

probably be buried in Oakview Ceme

ragements for the funeral have not yet
been made.
Mr. Bikes was a wholesale and re
tail tobacco merchant, doing business
at 21 Washington street. At the time
of his death, the stock of goods was
being sold out at cost.
There are hundreds of Mr. Sikes’
friends in Albany, who join with the
Herald In extending to the grief
stricken wife Rnd relatives, and the
deceased and his three little children,
heartfelt sympathy, and hope they
may find solace in knqwlng that the
spirit of the dead man has gone to a
heavenly reward.
