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. llpn. J.

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 W. n. Hawaii-, II. BISar IIaggers, decree HcreAlth, Naraaee I.eckvrr, Andrew I.Bag, Veeae Deyle.

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. , IN BERRIEN.
