In this country In the same line or manu-
features should be uniformly high. All
sections of the Union are under the be-
nign influence of the same blessed tariff.
And yet the difference in the wages at
the north and at the south is almost as
great as the difference between wages
at the north and in Great Britain. A
southern cotton spinner earns on an
average only 81 cents per day more
than an English spinner. The average
total earning capacity of the southern
spinners for six months is only six dol
lars more than that of the spinner under
free trade in England. The northern
spinners earn more because they do more
work than either in given time.
If this does not prove that skill, pro-
ductive capacity, the cost of living and
the supply of labor fix the wages, and
not tariffs, no demonstration could make
that truth clear.
Another fact is that the wages and
earnings in free trade Great Britain are
far higher (notice the fgures) than in
protectionist Germany and France. The
conditions of labor and Of living are
nearly the same in these Old World
countries. Comparisons between them
are fair, as comparisons with this newer
country are not. And they prove that
wages are higher and earnings greater
In the free trade than in the protection
ist countries similarly situated.-New

Blair Ought to BE Satisfied.

Ex-senator Blair, of New Hampshire,
is reported to be sin boiling condition
of Indignation because of his treatment
in connection with the Chinese mission.
He is not pleased, it is said, with the
indifference manifested by some of his
former colleagues in the senate in his
case, and is under the impression that
the president has treated him very bad
ly. He believes he would now be at his
post il the president had taken the
proper interest and if his friends in the
senate had bestirred themselves. This
information ought to serve at least to
direct some needed attention to the New
Hampshire statesman, who it appears
does not know when he is well off. It
really seems to be high time 70, con-
gress to inquire how long he intends to
draw 81 ,OC0 n month from the treasury
without earning t.-Charleston News
and Courier.

these have gone by the board, with the
signal overthrow of the Republican
party's idol, James q. Blaine. by Ben
jamin Harrison's remorseless use and
abuse Of the forces in the federal offices
A denomination thus obtained is the
reverse Of an honor. It is condemna-
ton of the man who snatches it and Of
the political system that has made such
a result possibility. The temptations
and the demoralizing tendencies to
which the opportunity Of renomina-
ton has exposed the presidential office
have always been a matter of criticism
and concern with all thoughtful Amer
leans. 1t has remained for President
Harrison to carry them to their most
dangerous and most revolving extreme.
Thus his administration, comparatively
free from lesser scandals, has cul.
minated in this vast scandal.
Mr.. Harrison enters on his campaign
for reelection handicapped not alone by
the crop Of resentments which has been
sown in Minneapolis, but by the entirely
new and deep seated popular indigna.
ton and distrust which his personal
struggles and his open and INSCRIPTIONS
employment of the highest and the low.
est Of the federal officials at his com.
mand have awakened. This distrust
and condemnation are new. because no
president before Mr.. Harrison has ever
afforded anything like such occasion fo1
them. Grant, Hayes, Arthur, Cleveland,
under widely varying circumstances,
each studiously avoided identifying his
administration with anything like de.
mand for denomination.
President Benjamin Harrison will
take in American constitutional history
the useful but unenviable place of the
president who brought the nation to a
realizing and vetoing sense of the evils
and perils of second term. After Mr..
Harrison shall have been overwhelmed
at the polls the people of this land might
formulate in law their hostility to q
second term. No more second terms il
likely to be the issue Of this campaign

an unjust tar1tr policy 1t would greaJiy
aid the industry and trade of the nation.
The platform on this point is simply
snare, and the farmers of the west and
the working people of all sections seem
pretty thoroughly to understand it.
The time was when national platforms
meant something, but they are general
ly now regarded as meaningless, mere
tubs to whales or bats to gudgeons, and
they have ceased to be accepted as an
honest expression of what party Will
do if successful in gaining power. Ii
platforms were intended to mean
what they say, the Minneapolis plat
form might be summed up as bundle
of contradiction and absurdity; but as
they practically mean just nothing at
all, it is of little consequence what Is
put into them or what is omitted

Mr.. Harrison Is in every way repre-
sentative Of his party as 1t is in these
latter years. He is in hearty sympathy
with it's policy, its traditions and its
purposes. He has stopped at nothing to
promote its ideas. His administration
has ably and unflinchingly-perhaps
some would say unscrupulously- served
its desires. an
He has managed to do with dignity
much that the party wanted done which
would have subjected a less adroit, self
respect to good deal of embarrassment,
He has succeeded in rewarding the, COL
lector Of corruption fund with p cab
met Office without offending the better
sentiment Of his party beyond forgive
ness. He has saved his personal dignity
by cutting Dudley's acquaintance, and
at the same time he has rendered Dud-
ley's dynamite" innocuous by protect
ing him from prosecution.
He has turned foreign complications
to account by clustering when it was
safe to buster, and by reporting his
perelptory demands upon foreign
governments only when he had in
for nation that those demands had been
complied with.
Il must be frankly admitted also that
his administration, so far as the routine
business is concerned, has been success
full. He has approved the squandering
of the surplus and the extravaganza Of
the billion dollar congress, and he has
put man at the head of the treasury
who knows how to juggle the figures SO
as to hide the deficiency till after the
election.
And for the future. Mr.. Harrison's
aims are those Of his party. He believes
in the control of elections by an army of
Johnny" Davenports under force bill.
He favors such use of the pension list
for party purposes as Raum has made.
Those who desire such use of the Gov
ernment's bounty will be more than
satisfied with his nomination.
He approves the maintenance of worse
than war taxes in time of peace for the
sake of turning the earnings of the many
into the Golfers of the favored few.
Those who desire to see the rule of the
trusts and monopolies made permanent
will rejoice in his denomination as a step
in that direction. York World

WORK AND WAGES.
Some Figures Which Enfectually Dispose
of Protectionists' Claims.

Some Figures Which Efectually Dispose
of Protectionists' Claims.
The recent report of Carroll D. Wright,
the national commissioner of labor, con-
tains some facts of interest bearing upon
the protectionist claim that high duties
are levied "to enable the people Of the
United States to pay high wages"
The statistics of wages are taken from
the pay rolls of 1875 textile and glass es-
Establishments in this country and in Eu-
rope. From these it appears that work.
ing on full time for six months each
employee in the establishments named
could have earned at the current wages
in the northern district of The United
States $3.50, in the southern district of
the United States $l09 and in Great
Britain SOB. None of the mills ran the
full time, and the operators earned on an
average $l.02 per day in the north, 691a
cents per day in the south and &C cents
per day in England.
A digest of the report further says:
''The total average income of families
from all sources for different countries
for the number of families for which
budgets were obtained in each country
was, for the cotton industry, $657.76 in
the United States, $365.94 in France,
$3O2.11 in Germany, $556.14 in Great
Britain and 1858. Sc in Switzerland. In
the wooden industry the average family
income from all sources was 1868. ID In
the United States, $424.51 in France,
$e75. 90 in Germany and $515.64in Great
Britain"
Now, if the tariff regulates the wages,
as the protectionists claim, the earnings

The planks calling for local legisls

lions; declaring in favor of the oppressed
OF Ireland and Russia; denouncing trusts
and combines; demanding free mail de-
liveries; approving of the civil service
system, the Nicaragua canal, the admis-
sion OF territories as states, the cession
or ard lands to states and territories.
the Columbian exposition and temper
aiics are all Just 10 much surpiusage
for all considerste voters.
/ There are three planks in the platform
which will attract general attention and
be more carefully considered by intelli-
gent voters than even the leaders of the
convention anticipate These are the
planks in favor Of protection and reci-
procity, and of bimetallism and the
practical approval and recommendation
OF the force election bill for the south.
These questions are vital, and as the
party has made positive record on all
of them they will be regarded as meas
ures which must stand Or fall with the
success or failure of the Minneapolis
ticket.
The force bill was beaten by ite-
publican senate that was then stronger
partisan body than it is today or is like
ly to be during the next administration.
That issue will be dead weight on the
party in the coming contest The plank
on bimetallisin is a very adroit straddle
of the silver issue.
What the Minneapolis convention calls
protection is simply protection of mo-
nopoly and of oppression to labor The
Mckinley bill needlessly taxes the neces-
saries of industry and of life, and it's du-
ties are levied without any regard to the
differences between wages abroad and
at home. They are levied solely for en-
ployers, not for workingmen. They
protect capital in some instances enor-
mously, but no actual protection is
given to labor.
Under such tariff reciprocity is sim
ply contradiction of the principles of
the party. Reciprocity is either free
trade or fair trade, and if separated from

They Like Taxation.

The Republican party has forgotten
nothing but it's promises and learned
nothing from its discipline of defeat. It
reiterates its preposterous claim that the
country has been made prosperous by
taxation, which is equivalent to saying

frost is good for crops.-New York
