LOWER WAGES IN AMERICA.

Politicians work many schemes. In
this country it is claimed that the
tariff keeps wages higher in America.
1t may keep VI the wages of politi-
clans, but the following figures will
show that children and adults in free
trade England are paid better than
they are here, and will also show that
we can afford to reduce the tariff far
below the present figures:
Children in England are paid in the
mines 81 cents per day of 9! hours,
while IN West Virginia they only get
80 CT ntS for q 1O-hOurS day.
In the cotton goods industries chill
dren IN England get Is cents for a 10
hours day, while IN New York they get
but IL cents for a 11-hOurS day. In the
following States they also get less han
the English rate, besides working one
hour longer: Connecticut, North Car
DINA and Georgia.
The rate paid to adult male hands in
the cotton goods industries III England
averages Sill per day of 1OhOurS each,
while III Vermont the rate Is S1.15, III
North Carolina So cents, and III Georgia
81. O2. The rate III Delaware is 81. 10,
just two cents over the English rate;
and in New York 1t is $1.23, but all the
American rates are for an II hours
day. Ii the New York operative
worked 10 hours, or O~ne-eleVenth less
than he does, and if he was paid that
much less, he would get but Slip per
day.
In other words, while the English
operative averages 5 III per day, the
New York operative averages only
$ III per day, which shows that the
Enghshman actually gets oven half a
cent per hour more than the New
Yorker.
The English rate of wages in metals
and metallic goods is $1.34 for an II
hours day, while for Il II hours day
the rate IN Ilaryland is $124 and III
Alabama $1.29.
These facts are from the report of
the United States Commissioners of
Labor,

THE OCALA PLATFORM.

We suppose our readers have all
read t. e OcaIa platform, but for the
benefit Of those who have been abus-
ing, but have never read it, we repro-
duce it again in Il columns:
l. We demand the abolition of ma
tiOnal banks, we demand that the gov
eminent shall establish sub treasures
or repositories In the several States
which shall loan money direct to the
people at a low rate of interest, not to
exceed two per cent. per annUm. on
0 ~perishable farm products and also
upon real estate, with the proper limi-
tatiOns upon the quantity of land and
the amount of money; we demand that
the amount Of circulating medium be
speedily increased to not less than $50
per capita.
2. We demand that Congress shall
pass such laws as shall etfectually pre-
vent the dealing III futures on all agri-
cultural and mechanical productions
preserving a stringent system of pro
cedure III trial such as shall secure
prompt conviction and imposing such
penalties as shall secure the most per
te It compliance with the law.
). We condemn the silver bill recent
ly passed by Congress, and demand in
lieu thereof the free and unlimited coin
age of silver.
4. We demand the passage of laws
prohibiting alien ownership of land.
n that Congress take prompt action
to devise some plan to obtain all lands
now owned by aliens and foreign syn
dlcateS and that all lands now held by
railroads and other corporations in ex-
cess OF such as are actually used and
needed by them be reclaimed by the
government and held for actual set
tiers only.
5. Believing in the doctrine Of ''euual
rights to all and special privileges to
none, we demand that our national
legislation shall be so framed in the
future as not to build up n interest
at the expense of another. We further
demand a removal of the existing
heavy tariff tax from the ~necessaries
OF life that the poor of our land must
have. We further demand a lust and
equitable system of graduated tax on
incomes. We believe that the money
OF n country should be kept as much
as possible in the hands of the peOple
ana hence we demand that all national
ana state revenues shall be limited to
Che necessary expenses of the govern
menu economically and honestly ad-
mlniStered. ~

WEIGHING OF COTTON.

\ bill passed the last Legislature
which says hat cotton buyers shall
pay half of the fee for weighing instead
of the seller paying all. The following
counties are not included: Cabarrus,
Rowan, New Hanover, Iredell, Vance,
Arson, Wayne, Sampson, Cumber-
land, Lemon, Tyrell, Beaufort. Cleve-
land and Washington.
The law applies to every othercounty
in the State, if we understand it cor
rectly. We understand that no atten-
ton is being paid to it in most of the
cotton counties. This should be looked
after.

DEACON HARRISON'S SON IN
TROUBLE.

Prince Russell, of the house Of Har-
risOn, is threatened with prosecution
for the part he played in the Arkansas
Pass town lot fraud, says the Western
Herald.
The company got a charter in Kan
sas and another in Colorado. then adj
vertised a paidup capital of Sc, 900. 600,
and gave Russell Harrison $500, 600 in
stock for the use of his hame. They
promised to make Il deepwater harbor
at the pass, and on their statements
and promises several thousand dollars
were juggled out Of the pockets of lot
purchasers. The lots sold are no better
than sage brush and jungle, and their
value lay entirely in the promises of
the company, of which Russell Harri-
son is president. The whole thing looks
like a ~stupendOus fraud headed by the
Presidents son; and the victims are
moving to punish the criminals even if
they have to include Prince Russell.

TWO AT A TIME.

1t seems that Col. Folks enemies and
detractors are very hard up for a cause
against him, when they deliberately
manufacture lies and circulate them
by means of kilograms to the news
papers. At one and the same time he
is accused of t~reachery to the Confed-
eracy and cruelty to Union prisoners,
an ingenious way of killing two birds
with one stone. Col. Folks straight
forward and manly letter of denial
carried truth upon the face of it, and
is enough to put even the authors Of
such calumnies to shame, who, as Col.
Polk says, wrote the lies, and knew
they were lies when they wrote them.
