has stated that the tipping system has de-
veloped to such an extent that in some
restaurants the walters pay five shiliings

this fact it appears that walters wages

be over thirty millions. The Stevens

what is the gain to labor? How much

Negro Colonization.

Senator Teller, on the seventh, by
request. introduced bill, which is as
fu!l OF possibilities as anything which
ever came before Congress. It directs
the Secretary of the Treasury to pay to
agents of the "Afro-A merican Compa-

with as small interest as possible. An
odd petition, evidently drawn up by q
coiored preacher, accompanies the bill.
The document states: 1--WE now, gen.
temen, for the negro race, in the name
of God and humanity. ask of you to
tell what dignity and honor has been
accorded to the negro for all that he
has done and is still willing to do?
We do not wish any royal crown put
upon the negro or any royal apparel
that the king wore, and neirher do we
wish to be put on the kings steed, or
led through the streets of the cities Of
this country and exclaim that this shall
be done to the men whom the king de-
lights to honor" After detailing
their plans of settlement in the Cali
fornia Utopia, the petition proceeds:
1--WE will call your attention TO the Of
ficers and taskmaster of King Pharaoh,
who went unto him and said the fault
was in him aud not in his servants.
We do not say the fanlt is in the hon.
est Government, but, for Gods sake,
if we can not live together in peace
and harmony help US to secure a home
where we will be service to ourselves.
as God has declared if you cannot live
in peace you had better be thousand
miles apart. This appeal is not for a
few individuals. but for the entire
American negro. A decree from the
Almighty God must stand, and he has
decreed for Ethiopia. Now, gentle

amid the blue-bells of Scotland and the
great American fields, the farmer is a
despiser of despotism, a hater of oppres-
sion. the foe of inequality and the friend
of right.
Whether his calling makes him a
Democrat or whether his Democracy
leads to his calling, is immaterisl. He
has been voting the Democratic ticket
wherever he had chance to vote and
the facts truthfully before him, from
the beanbag ballots of the Caesars to
the last November elections. Some
times his vote has not been counted;
sometimes he has been misled and lied
to; sometimes his honest vision has
been obscured by appeals to passion
and pref ejudice: but afterward he has
taken revenge upon his false guides
and entered summary judgment against
those who have betrayed him.
AS long as the Democratic party is
right and can properly reach the ears
of the farmers, they will go hand in
hand. Protection would have been
dissipated long since if the farmers
could have been earlier reached with
the truth. But prejudices had inter-
vened, passions been appealed to and
lies disseminated among them. Now
that the facts are before them, they are
voting the Democratic ticket in Iowa
equally with their brethren in Missouri
and two years from now they will
sweep the country upon Democratic
farmers platform. - jefferson City

Bourbon Lawiessness.

Speaker Beed imagined himself al
one time not merely the Speaker, but the
whole House of Representatives, and
ne was so much applauded by his par
ty associates tor his bold" attitude
that he presently came to imagine
himself the whole government of the
United States. But the people got a
little tired Of this and Knocked Mr..
Reeds p rty out.
Then Senator Hoar arose with the
idea that though the people had
knocked the party out. the party would
not go out. 1t would just hold on.
And he proposed to PASS one of Speak
er Reeds bills for this purpose. But
even Senators were by this time begin
ming TO remember that there was a
Constitution, AID Senator Hoar got
knock ed out too.
Now it is Governor Thayer, of Ne
braska, who is "electioneerin' for q
lickin'." The people of Nebraska
have elected new Governor. and his
election has been duly declared by the
Legislature. But Governor Thayer
will not give up. He surrounds him
self with troops and locks himself in
and declares that the Democratic Gov
ernor shall not have the office.
Thayer's pretence that Boyd is in
eligible is, of course, only pretense.
If he beloved that he would have TAX
ell legal measures before to esta bIish
the fact. But the Bourbons of the
present day do not believe in legal
measures. They believe in force.
Why bother with a quo warranto when
bayonets are handy?
The performance of Governor Thayer
is an application of Reedism to the
government of State. 1t is the very
principle of the Force bill, that those
who baye power shall hold if, by what
Quay calls the mailed hand" 1t is
on this plan that the SO called repub-
lies of Central and South America
have been conducted, but it will not
do in the United States.
People are tired of revolutionists.
They showed this at the last election,
and if these desperate remnants of the
defeated Bourbon party believe that
they can continue to defy the popular
will they will find the next harsher
than the last. But they can undoubt-
edly do a great deal of mischief in the

Silver and the Two Great Parties.

Three Democratic Senators voted
Sixteen Rep Al lican Senators voted for
it. 1t is doubtful if Mr.. Mcpherson OF
New Jersey, Mr.. Gray of Delew are. and
Mr., Wilson of Maryland represented
the opinions of their constituents in
opposing free coinage. 1t is certain
that the Republican Senators who vot-
ed for free coiuage could rot have vot-
ed otherwise without being censured
by their constituents; and there are
other Repu blican Senators who would
have been more faithful to public opin-
ion in their States if they had followed
Mr.. Stewart instead of Mr.. Sherman.
The silver question leaves the Dem
cracy substantially united. The scam
ty Democratic opposition to silver is
only found along the Atlantic sea-
board. The Republican party, on the
other hand, is divided by what may
prove to be very serious division.
Taking the vote on the free coinage
of the Republican party oppose and
one-third favor silver. Actually the
division is probably more Leary into
halves. Whatever the proportions,
the danger Of the division to the Re-
publicans is that the new States upon
which they have founded their calcu-
lations for 1892, are resolute for free
coinage; and to some other States,
such as Nevada and Colorado. silver Is
of good deal more Importance than
the Republican party.
The situation is decidedly ticklish
for the Republicans. Will they dare
to refuse ;he demands of the silver
States?
The silver question mas done the
Democracy the service of making i'm
possible the selection by Democratic
national convention of candidate OPP
posed to silver. To the Republicans
the silver problem is dangerous thing;
and 1t will be a fatal thing if the pro-
fessional dread of silver W hich has fill
ed the minds Of recent Secre taries of
Treasury is to overruie the instinct OF
self-preservation and prudent politics.
Free coinage, when restricted to
American silver only, is not so terrible
a thing anyway.-Ne,U York Sun.

Where Does the Protection Come In?

The Worcester Spy he's this to say
concerning the recent ad vance in prices
by the Stevens Linen Works:
AS the result of the new tariff The stevens
Linen Works, the largest of ihe kind in the
United States, whose q 'odS are sent to all
parts of the country, have given not ice of the
following advance in the price of goods:
Towels, 81 to 81 %, Sl-.0 to Sl.1o, Nl.75 to -
per dozen; huck towels, y t. =. 30, $3.50 10
$3.50 per dozen; napkins, - cents ~ 20
cents, 81 to S1.15 per dozen: table dama-k~.
% cents to 30 cents, 80 cents 81 cents, 40
cents to 46 cents per yard; linen towelings,
cents to 5l4 tents, cents to 81 cents, 10
cents to 1114 cents, II cents to 1914 cents per
ward: chenille table covers, - cents to 81,
81. 80 to S1.76 each; table cloths, 70 cents TO
80 cents, 81 to $1.15, S1.25 to 40 each.
TIE Stevens Linen Works were es-
tablished, so their trade marks say,
in 1916. With one exception, that year
ran its course with the lowest tariff
that operated in the United States for
the last fifty years. The Stevens Lin
en- Works, instead of falling, as an in
fant industry, during that period, for
want of protection. prospered and in
creased their plant until it became the
largest of the kind in United States.
