which is more than is paid here,
although the cost of living there
was at that time fully Is per cent
lower than it is here at this time.
Both Idaho and California are pro-
tected and every section of the two
states is protected alike. Again,
wages are said to be as high in
Australia as in California, and they
should be because conditions are
alike, except as to protection.
But we have said we believe labor
ers are benefited by free trade and
injured by protection. Among other
reasons for this we state it as we'll
settled fact that employers of labor
! are nearly always found to be advo-
! Gates Of protection, although none
of them are willing to raise the
wages Of their help. Were they in
favor of protecting the laborer they
would always pay him the best
wages they could afford, and would
raise his wages and lower his rents
whenever they could do 80 without
loss until the laborers had become
as prosperous as employers. This
they do not do, hence their pre-
tended love for the laborer is a
sham and lie.
But we are going to assert further
that protection degrades labor by
degrading the laborer. In proof of
this, wages are 80 per cent higher
n free trade England than they are
! u any portion OF prnseata6 Europe.

That makes the wealth of the country av-

that our riches have increased faster than

SUE-TIsE.ASlJxsY IN OHIO.

A reporter for the Atlanta journal, who
is in Ohio writing up the campaign, asked
Governor Campbell the following question:
"What part does the sub-trcasury plan
play in the campaign?'
'Wtll, sir" the Governor replied with a
large degree of establishment. ''you are the
first man | have ever heard mention tic
sub treasury plan in Ohio. The people
here know nothing whatever about it,
will give you inc present if,you will find
one man in OLio who will mcn,ion the
sub-trcaSury plan rs IN issue in the cam
paign. We arc making the fight on the
tariff, and on this transccndunt issue we
will VIII the battle"
Illus we see that the much talked Of sub
treasury issue is wholly ignored in one Of
the foremost agricultural States in the Tn
ion. 1t is not only ignored, but it is stated
by one who is III Il position to know, that
the people know nothing of the great sub
treasury scheme. There is no prospect of
that issue ever having any inference on pol
ltlcs outside Of the Cotton States. None of
the Northern or Northwestern States will
make it an issue. They not only do not
approve of the plan but they are refusing
W SohiC Ill VI JOlll null(S Wltu the SCnthcrn
Alliance.
1t is only in the Southern States that the
leaders among the farming class try to put
the "demanv:c Of the order" over that of
"tariif refom," which is the issue upon
which the democratic party of the other
sections makes its fight against the rcpubi-
cans and high tariff robbery.
Heretofore the solid South has been q
unit for the reduction of the tariff which
has enabled the monopolst to rob the Ia
borer OF all classes, and not until the poll
ticians had managed to spring a new issue
in the shape of the sub treasury plan, was
there any chance Of ever breaking the SOL
id democratic vote of these States, and Il
is a noticeable fact that the Ocaa platform
does not cut any figure in States where the
republicans have always decided major.
ity, hence it IS pl' in that it is only an issue
raised to break the solid South, or at least
10 blind the people to the great evil Of the
high tariff laws. Only in the stronghold
of the democracy have these demands OF
the order been agitated to any great extent,
when an exciting political combat Is in
progress. If shc Ocala platform is net in
serted into either the democratic or Repub-
lican National Platform next Summer, Il
will not he apt to be heard of outside Of

GfcenvllIe Alliance Says Hold Your


A mass meeting of tho AlliaDcemen of
this county was held at the court house
yesterday, about 100 delegates and men,
hers being present. None but members of
the Alliance was admitted.
The meeting took action which is expect
ed to have effect all over the cotton States.
There was little discussion, the action
taken hcing unanimous. Resolutions were
adopted and ordered furnished the News
for publication. The resolutions have not
been sent IN, but they arc substantially as
follows:
whereas, cotton is our cash product
and we are forced to take for it prices be-
low the cost or production; that not only
the farmers but the merchants who furnish
ed them supplies Con timc) must sustain
loss and that the profits on cotton are di-
Vlded between spectators and muufactur-
crS.
1--WE, the Grccvillc Farmers Alliance,
90 advise our farmers to refuse to sell cot.
ton at the present prices and that they at
once warehouse so much cotton as will sat-
isfy their creditors, and borrow from banks
| or individuals, on warehouse receipts, and
hold their cotton for better prices; that the
action of our meeting be published
| throughout cotton States asking them to act
at once through State aud county alliances
in accordance herewith.
"ltesolvcd, That all sub-alliances arc re.
qucsied to call meetings at once for action
on these resolutions"
The purpose 10 be accomplished by tho
resolutions IS stated by a committee of tht
alliance to be:
'Ist. TO concentrate the cotton broueh
to this market in the alliance ware hous,
Tor the purpose of grading it into lots, 81
that each grade can be sold at its true mar
kct value.
"2d. BY thus classifying it into lots o
fifty or more bales to induce buyers I,
come into our market.
I'D. The oflcr of the use of the allianc
ware house for fiftt ell days free of storage
to seller and buyer alike is for the purpos
OF enabling OD the seller to hold his cotton
If desired, for that length of time for bet
,, Ter prices or to make up large lots withou
the usual cost of storage; (2) that the buy
ey may have the opportunity of procuring
large lots Of cotton for shipment.
''lt is now generally conceded that the
present crop Of cotton is far short Of tha
, Of last year and of Il much finer quality
yet the prices now ruling are below til,
J cost of production 1t therefore must bc
apparent to all that there is everything Il
gain and nothing to lose by holding Som,
of the banks of Grccnvillc have agreed tc
advance literally on ware house receipts
III cotton should remain in tho ware houst
after the expiration of the fifteen days al
lowed, the cost of storage and insurance
will not exceed % cents per bale for til,
llrst month and 20 cents per bale aftcrward
I'm this effort on the part Of the produ
GERS to secure better prices we believe al
classes will be benefited and we confident
ly hope fer the kindly sympathy Of tn,
people at large"
