The Election of Senator Payne

The subjoined communication, from a
source which we always respect, is
worthy of more attention than is usually
bestowed after an election upon the an
mated expressions of those whose pref
erenceS have not been realized;
To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir i:
The Sun, above all other papers in the
land, has been fearless in its denuncia-
tons of political wrong-doing, and has
insisted upon as high and rigid rules Of
morals in politics and government as in
private life. Its exposure and just de-
nunciation of the methods of Dorsey to
corrupt and control States in 1880 are
fresh in our minds.
it is now believed, and believe, that
the Standard Oil Company recently
bought with meReF Ohio's seat in the
Senate of the United States for Mr..
Payne. Now, can the social Sespecta-
bility of man. make such a crime re-
spectacle? Or is there to be one stand
ard of political morality for Republicans

The Great Grain Glut.

A new danger threatens our agrlcul-
tural communities. The farmer of this
country, besides being grievously legis-
lated against in railroad laws and a
high tariff, is in danger OF losing the
independence which has hitherto dignl-
fed and exalted him.
1t is believed that there isno corner
in wheat or other grains, but it is fact
that Chicago, New York City and Liv-
erpool are filled with wheat, and the
grain is still piling up. In addition,
thousands of farmers are holding their
grain. That this grain glut is not the
result of corners. drives or combina-
TONS is very generally believed, for
there has not been time in five years
when the Syndicate" was less Of a
power than it is to-day. To prove this,
there seems to be no demand for wheat
at the very low prices which now pre-
vail.
Is there too much wheat, as there is
too much iron, wool, leather? Have
the energy and the high prices of the
last few years produced a glut of wheat
as of manufactures? 1t is not in the
United States alone that railroads are
covering vast tracts Of new land with
men and money. Australia and the
Argentine Confederation and India are
being supplied with new lines of trans
portation and are developing capabil-
ity of raising millions of bushels OF sur
plus wheat. Is their competition des
tined to compel our farmers to readjust
their prices? Our agriculturists have
been making money out of the harvests
of their new soil as if the prairies were
oceans of gratuitous milks from which
they could take the cream for the trouble
of Swimming. If it is possible to have
too many transportation factories and
too many shoe factories, may it not be
possible to have too many wheat facto-
ries? Are not the hard times now so
prevalent over the industrial world
greatly lessening the ability of the
poor, who are the vast majority, to
consume food with the appetite Of their
prosperous years?
The Abilene reflector. [volume] (Abilene, Kan.) 1883-1888, 1884-01-31

and another for Democrats? Or are
Democrats expected to condemn cor
ruption only when practised by Repub-
icans, and to condOne, defend, and COW
er it up when practised by Democrats,
or when it is found only in the Demo
cratic party? In my opinion there is
no danger so threatening to free insti-
buttons as the sale and purchase of pO-
litical power, and nothing more to be
condemned. AN OHIO DEMOCRAT.
If we shared the impressions and be-
lief of our correspondent, we should also
share his indignation; but we think he
is quite mistaken in regard to this case.
In the first place, we are convinced
that Mr.. Payne has no part or interest
in the Standard Oil Company. He is
not stakeholder, and has never in any
way been connected with its affairs.
His son is a stakeholder, and no doubt
he was naturally interested in his faith
er's election; but we do not believe that
single cent of money or any other cor
rupt influence was either employed or
tolerated by Henry B. Payne in the can
NdSS NllCu ICl ulllldleu Ill lid clcCllOIl.
Mr.. Payne is emphatically not that
kind of man. His past life is aguaran-
tee of his integrity, and that guarantee
is not to be put aside upon any vague
accusation, or without the clearest
proof.
Besides, the magnitude of Mr.. Payne's
majority in this case precludes the idea
of corruption. There may always be a
few loose men hanging on the skirts of
any party in State Legislature; but it
is impossible to believe that the mass
of party are corrupted. In the Dem
Ocratic caucus Mr.. Payne was nominal
ted on the first ballot. He had 4S votes,
Mr.. Pendleton 10, Mr.. Ward II, Mr..
BoOthe l. and Mr.. Geddes l. Here
is a clear. majority of fourteen
votes, and itcOuld not have been pro-
cured by base methods.
Moreover, Mr.. Payne is a far ADLER,
sOunder, wiser, steadier, more compe-
tent, and more trustworthy statesman
than his predecessor. The election of
such man is in the interest of good
government, and we rejoice at it accord
ingly.

The Laborer Protected.

The reduction in wages in the cotton
mills of Fall River, Mass, recently de-
cided upon by the Board of Trade, Gre
ated great excitement among the Oper-
atives when it became generally known.
The amount of the reduction is not yet
decided upon, but on good authority it
may be said that it will be eight per
cent. Several manufacturers believe
the reduction will not better the cOndi-
ton of the market.
Secretary Howard Of the Spinners
Union said that in conversation with
a mill agent he learned that the chief
ground for the disagreement at the
meeting of the Board was the action
to be taken on the wages of spinnerS.
In some of the mills allowances of va
riOus sums are made for old mules, bad
machinery and poor material, which
were secured by the union without any
strike or protected negotiations. To
establish uniform rate was what those
agents paying those extras demanded.
~ will most decidedly advocate any re-
duction i'll spinners' wages. Unless
these reductions are resisted now the
condition of the cOtton-wOrking people
of this country viii never be better, eX-
cept by revolution. They are being
ground and oppressed, and the tendency
is further degradation for them. Ihave
decided to call meeting of the Union
for Saturday night, when it is quite
probable that we will ballot on the ques-
ton of submission or resistance to the
cut down.
1.-The spinnerS are well prepared to
make long strike, and will not, there
fore, readily submit to a reduction in
their wages"
Notices have been posted in the Co
checo mills announcing a reduction of
wages averaging 10 per cent, to take
effect Feb. t. The operatives number
about 5000, composed entirely of Amer
leans and Irish, and are an excellent
class of workmen.

Editors of many republican papers
admit that the custom duties are too
high, but contend that the protective
principle is correct. The EmpOria Re
publican even goes so far as to declare
openly in favor of a ''Tariff-fOr-Rev
ue-Only' as sound republican doctrine.
The Manhattan Nationalist, edited by
a potential prohibition-republican can
didate for Governor, says with some
heat: 1--WE notice that a few of our
Republican exchanges appear anxious
Ito stand on both sides of the tariff
question. This is useless. The RepVb-
''lican party will go into the next cam
''paign in favor of tariff with prOtec-
''tiOn as one of its main objects. 1t

national convention and to decide where
it shall be held. At this meeting, i'll

~ important that men of ability be
chosen who will give their whole atten-
ton to the campaign. The democrats
have had but one well managed cam
paign during the past twenty years,
and that was when Uncle Sammy
held the reinS III 1876. Bad manage
ment lost the victory in 1880, and this
wear We want men who are able to skill
fully and persistently conduct the cam

ors st. Louis as the place for the con-
vention. and it would like to see the
democrats assemble in convention
before the republicans do. We want
an aggressive fight. A tariff platform
that will force the republicans to cham
piOn protection. a government reform
plank and united, aggressive action,
and the victory is won.

The Fitz-John Porter bill is again be-

try recognizes the fact that great injus-
tice has been done gallant soldier, and
its further perpetuation is not desired.

Prohibition is to be removed from the
narrow limits of State consideration
and placed in the broad, open field of
National policies. An authoritative call,
backed by the prohibition Unions of the
country, has been issued from national
headquarters for prOhibitOry cOnven-
ton to meet at Pittsburg, Pa, on the
DIST day of May next, for the purpose
of nominating president andvice pres
ident With spirit and conviction
which challenges admiration, the pro-
hibitioniStS have calmly and deliberate
ly decided to place a ticket in the field.
BY those who accept prohibition as a
principle ''above and beyond human
law this ticket will be hailed with de-
light, and while it is not expected that
it will succeed, it will yet command a
large and very intelligent following.
To a student of politics, however, this
prohibition ticket is likely to prove dis
astrous to the republican party,-the
party which has foStered and strength
ened prohibition. Is the child to de-
st.oy or absorb the parent? What with
prohibition, a protective tariff and a
corrupt government, the republican par
ty is in very critical condition.

An esteemed contemporary should be
fully convinced before it charges that
the REFLECTOR supports or endorses
a monopoly when it becomes connected
with the democratic party. y few dis
appointed and jaundiced democratic
papers of Ohio raised the cry that Sen
ator PAYNE was elected by the use of
the Standard Oil Company's money.
The cry was echoed and re-echOed by
republican journals all over the country,
as a counter influence to destroy the
magnificent work of democratic House
against all manner of corruption and all
forms of monopoly. As yet, however,
not one line of reliable proof has been
produced to substantiate the assertion.
Mr.. PAYNE's personal character is
above reproach. The most shameless
republican or democratic editor will not
dare to question his integrity. He has
denied, and his friends and political en-
ellis IdNC Ucll1Cu IlllG uO hoo VI 10 NOlA-
nected in any way with the Standard
Oil Company. Those who know Sena-
tor PAYNE, know that he would en-
phatically and Indignantly repudiate
any attempt to influence his election by
the use of money, and the large major
ity he received precludes the possibility
of purchased votes. But when it is
proved that Mr.. PAYNE was elected by
fraud and corruption, then the RE-
FLECToR will be just as severe in its
denunciation as it is possible for its
most virtuous republican contemporary
to be. Until then, mere frenzied state
ments will pass for no more than they
are worth.
