g For Ben Hills defense Of the
South against Blaine's assaults,
when he assaulted her on the Ander-
sonville matter. No man ever did
his section more good than he did on
that day. Sitting there as the cham.
pion Of the South, he had to defend
whatever point her enemies proposed
to attack. Mr.. Blaine deliberately
selected AndersonvilIe and the al
legged cruelty practiced there. MIR.
Hill at once took up the gauntlet and
confronted Mr.. Blaine with such elo-
quence and force that he was COM
pletely eyerthrown. Have you ever
noted the effect Of that days debatep

"Why this. Up to that day even
the South was SO lily informed on
that subject that no sontherner ever
heard Andersonville mentioned with
put blush and an evasion. After
that debate all was changed. From
that time forward no northern poll
tician or journalist, no matter how
partisan he might be, has been found
to renew the charge of cruelty at AM
dersonville. The record was made up
by Ben Hill so that no man could
gainsay it. And in that two days
debate Mr.. Hill wiped from the skirts
Of the South the foulest stain ever
put thereon by her enemies, and vim
dieated her entirely from the only
charge against her civilization that
had ever been made in, war or in
peace. For that one debate Ben Hill
deserves at the hands Of the South a
dozen monuments, and ] wish he
could have them. ."-Alanta Coastitu-

Protection and wages.

Extract from a speech delivered by
the Hon. S. S. Cox, of New York, the
EoHo's candidate for the vice presi.
dency:
If protection is making the working
men so very content with high wages,
how does it happen that now, with a
tariff averaging over forty per cent.
there is so much discomfort with wages,
lack of employment and strikesl Why
are the "unions" drawing their we'll
ordered organizations closer in the
bonds Of honest sympathy against
their despoileis !? Almost every art and
trade from one end of the land to the
other is in distress. They cannot make
living, much less lay up anything for
rainy day or the schooling of their
children. They know when it pinches
if they do not always know what
pinches. They are told it is corner
in provisions. Our legislation ought
not to leave them at the mercy Of the
grain sharks. 1t may be the increased
cost of provisions, clothing and rent.
These are enhanced by combination of
monied men, corporate harpies, who
can show them fifty millions cash IN
or out of corner, men who prey upon
the people in rates of transportation
and through watered stock, and in es-
Gaping that taxation, which they foist
on the shoulders of labor, the source
of all wealth,
Dc you not see that this tariff, which
hangs as an incubus on labor in coun-
try and city, is one of the monopolies
BY shameless legislation, by purchased
and interested nabobs2 What have you
done to tighten the labors of the poor
You would keep up great surplus by
continued taxation. You make pro-
visions dear by making transportation
dear, by Bessemer steals. You would
perpetuate the mean little taxes on
matches and checks, and keep it un-
economically high on spirits and beer
BY the aid Of pestilent internal sys-
TEN of spies and informers. You are
safe while your commission sits, for
your exaetions continue.
You fail to give relief as to the hours
of labor or by removing the competi-
tion of striped scoundrels in the peni.
tentiary. You force them into "unions,
and then, with pretexts of mob aud
violence, with bayoDct and bullet, drive
them into Dispersion. You have le-
galized oil companies in a gigantic
form of greed to grease the wheels OF
Iiveried coaches. You would take river
fronts in great cities to increase your
corporate gains. You create great over
land routes and allow them to be gut
ted, watered, and handled so as to de-
fly and defraud the government which
gave them land and bonds. You make
them the supple instruments of heavy
interest and privileged, expensive,
political banking system; you have
done it by your votes and when the
devil you have harbored turns and
rends in its desperation, you stand here
and ask for commission TO report to
you, at the end of two years or more,

wages in 1Ile Unite,l states.

The advance sheets OF the census OF
1880 present many facts that are new
even to the best informed persons.
One which touch on the labor as re-
CARDS wages, gives the average amount
Of wages earned per year by each in
diyidlal laborer (including all ages
and both sexcs) in 20 of the leading
cities of the United States, The highest
average is in Washington, $547, and
the lowest in Milwaukee, $92l. Next
to Washington stands San Francisco,
$3.50, and next to the latter Brooklyn,
$466. Notwithstanding the fact that
Washington stands at the head Of the
list for liberal wages paid, it should
be remembered that many of the
workers in that city are in the employ
of the government at high remuner-
atiye wages, while the second city on
the list-San Francisco--has very few
citizens in government employ. From
this it is plain that wages are higher
in San Francisco than in any other
city in the United States, if We ex-
clude government employees and their
wages from our calculation.
