The SOUTH SOLID BY LAW
HOW THE oLIGARCHY HAS BEEN PERFECTED BY

HOW THE oLIGARCHY HAS BEEN PERFECTED BY
PERSISTENT LEGISLATIVE EXPERIMENTS
TO the Editor of The Tribune
SIR In your issue of March o. an article on Hi
and the Solid South" clearly sets out to n certain
extent the situation in the South But neither that
any article have seen gives any adequate idea Of
what IS meant by the expression Solid Sonthn Dur
Ing seven years residence here, l have watched
the drift of Southern sentiment, il has been all
one way-toward the unifying Of tho South under an
oligarchc Democracy and then the paralyzng of any
power that might make II otherwise. The process
has been completed, and the electoral votes Of the
South TO the number OF 40 dedicated TO the
Democratic nominee for the Presidency for all future
time Just ms certainly rs though the Federal Con
stltution provided. For In seven or more Of the
states such dedication secured for the present and
assured for the future by statute laws and all power
to repeal these laws Is abrogated suppressed To
Northern such paralysis OF the repeating
power impossible. but Just that thing that
impossibility, has been accomplished. 1t has been
no easy task to thus evade all constitutional SAFE
guards 1t hns taken twenty years to do the work.
There has been experiment after experiment. AS
fast as one state has discovered mode Of dsfran-
chising anti-DemocratS that did not conravenc the
Constitution. all the other states have adopted It, At
last every avenue to power has been closed not only
against the Republican party, put against any pos
sibe third party. The South Is not only solid. but
as indvlsible the ultimate atom. The North
could clearly this il IT had before II the legis
lauve enactmcnts by which the result has been
achieved and some one should prepare synopsis Of
them In an available form for distribution mere
newspaper article would scarcely suffice.
solid SOUTH then means that for unknown
years TO como the Democratic party, entering each
Presidential contest with 100 electoral votes secured
to it by law, achieves victory by getting ca
votes, while the Republican party must obtain by a
contest 223. Never was party worse handicapped
The only way out OF the difficulty is to unity the North
TO face solid South. / belive that such unity
be brought about by the fact Of solid south, when
that fact and its meaning thoroughly appreciated.
Is 1t not paramount duty of the hour TO see that
needed light Is thrown on this important but little
understood matterl b. c. RUDE.

Mace and a renewed and purified atmosphere Is

a QUESTION DEMOCRATS ARE INVITED TO ASK.
TO the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir Ex-Governor Campbell in his canvass OF Ohio
with Major Mckinley challenged his opponent In one
of his speeches to name an Instance where the rate
OF wages had been increased the result OF the new
protective tariff. THE World" this morning makes
use, with much apparent satisfaction, of the same
ingenious. but misleading challenge. and although
1t has been met, and instances have been given OF an
increase I'm the rate OF wages. yet wish to empha
size the fact that this is among the first or most
important benefits to be expected as result OF the
now tariff from the standpoint Of wages.
The question should rather be. Is more money now
being paid for wages and to a greater number of per
sons, as the result OF the Protective tarn
Tested In this way, we will find that the Industries
fostered by the tariff. have new or enlarged pay
rolls thus increasing largely the aggregate paid to and
distributed among wage-carners.
1t Is a well known fact that n revival in manu-
featuring and al industrial pursuits first reaches inc
unemployed, and gives employment to more persons
nj existing rates and II is not until there are few or
no unemployed that competition for labor begins 10
add to the rate OF wages.
II Governor Campbell and those who echo his
challenge would be honest to the workmen let them
ask whether the country Is to-day paving In the ag

to more persons direct result OF the new lTp-
