The Tariff and the Canning Industry

l ~
| The advocates of the Mckinley tariff
loudly claim that it is building up the tin
plate industry III this country, but they
ignore the fact that it is costing our
people more than they can afford to pay
for it
If the American tinplate men are to
get high prices for their product, it goes
without saying that the people have to
foot the bill. This protective tariff on
TIN strikes a heavy blow at the canning
industry. With free tin plate every little
town i'll the south would soon have fac
tory canning fruit and vegetables, and
If the home market failed to consume
these goods, there is a ready demand for
them III every country under the sun.
we have been trying for years to build
up the canning industry in this region.
IL Is profitable in more ways than one,
for it would stop our enormous waste of
millions of dollars worth of fruits and
vegetables which are allowed to rot every
year-a dead loss to the farmers.
but IL we are to pay 20 per cent
more for tin plate than it is worth. the
pfohts OF the canning industry will be so
materially cut down that we need NOT |
expect to see many new factories for l.
some llne to come. The tinplate tax is
fraudulent and eXtortionate, and will do
as much as any other one thing to defeat
the rooDer tariff barOns at the polls.

What the Force Bill Is.


| General Stevenson. the democratic can
didate for vice president, declares in his
| Virginia speeches that the force bill issue
| is more important in the south than the
| tariff issue, and he is right The tariff
taxes imposed on the people by the repub-
| lican party touch only our pockets. These
| are sensitive newcomers, it is true, and
the tariff imposition is a tremendous bur
den to bear, but an oppressive tax does
not strike at the root of things as vicious
ly and as ruinously as force bill legislation
would do.
Some of the third party leaders, especi-
ally those who are trying to ape the atti-
tude and doctrine of Tom Watson, are
trying to convince the people of Georgia
that the force bill means nothing. AS
well attempt to convince them that repub-
lican reconstruction was Il healthy and
n bcneiicient scheme. The force bill is
simply natural form of republican re-
construction, and it is one that the people
could not so easily rid themselves of.
For the benefit of the voters of Virginia
General Stevenson has been digesting
some of the results that would follow
the enactment of the force bill measure.
These results ought to be just as inter
esting to other southern voters as they
are to the white people Of Virginia
In the first place, the broad meaning of
the force bill should be clearly under
stood. 1t is intended to build up a ficti
tious republican majority in the south to
stand for the negro vote which fails to
materialiZe on election day. To this end
the machinery to be employed is both
costly and elaborate. Not one of the
several thousand officials to be intrustcd
with the delicate and important partisan
work of executing the law would be elect
ed by the people. From the federal judge
whose duty it would be to appoint the
chief supervisors down to the deputy
marshal every official would be appointed
by the party in power. Each would be
selected by officials not responsible to
the people. The control of the elections
would be taken entirely out of the hands
of the people of the several states. This
is the reason why General Stevenson de
clarcs on the stump that the force bill
breathes destruction To the pconle. II
would be Impossible 70 dSitfI1t tle It.
publican party from power should it ever
have the opportunity of reaping the adj
vantages which this infamous measure
would give It,
In the second place, there is no limit
to the number of deputy marshalS that
may be appointed. They might be able to
overawe the voters, and each one would
be Il republican partisan anxious to do
the dirty work necessary to secure his
wages. Behind these men would be the
federal bayonetS and congressional cleo
tons wherever this infamous law was
put in operation, would merely be Il
solemn farce enacted for the purpose of
keeping up appearances.
The New York Tribune was right when
it said that the elections bill contains
within itself tariff bills by the hundred.
| contains all the elements that are de
| structiYe TO the dearest rights OF the
| people.

cratic candidates in the assembly dis
tricts. Then when the national commit
teemen refused to give their consent
to the programme, knowing that
their consent would utterly break
down the democratic campaign In New
York, the Grace gang, with great mag
nanimity, decided to hold the matter in
allegiance until they could further confer
with the district leaders Of their organi-
cation.
We trust the democratic leaders will
continue to ignore these mercenaries.
They have never acted with the democrats
except when the republicans refused to
buy them, and now that their essential
weakness is known they find themselves
without q market.
The Grace crowd can hurt nobody. Let
the democratic leaders send them about

ent If these telegraphers had obeyed out
side dictation, and had resorted to a
strike, without notifying their employers
or their grievance, without asking them
| for redress, and without Offering to arbi-
! crate the matter. If they had pursued
this unfliendly, arbitrary and unjust line
Of conduct they would lave lost the re-
spect and sympathy of the public, and
their employers would have been deprived
of the opportunity to consult with them
with q view to settling or arbitrating
their differences.
Come and let us reason together" is
an appeal that fair-minded men cannot
resist. 1t comes from honorable men who
believe that they have a just cause, aud
it never fails to impress the public. On
the other hand, when men refuse to- hear
the other side, refuse to submit their
claims to the parties directly interested
or to impartial arbitrator, and proceed
to act in hostile manner upon the adj
vice of strangers they soon find that they
stand alone, cut off from consideration
and sympathy, and there is o natural sus-
picion that their demands are unreasona-
BILE because they have not made them in
a reasonable way.
We congratulate the telegraphers, and
recommend their example to other organi-
cations. When men GO directly, to their
employers with q complaint or q request
they are going to be heard, and. when they |
offer, in the event of disagreement, to |
abide by the decision of disnterested ar
bitrators they will have public opinion on
their side, and with this strong backing
they will get what they ask for, if they
Ire not entirely in the wrong. On the
)ther hand when o labor organization
states no grievance, gives no notice and
cuts loose from all counciliatory methods
referring to rely upon a bulldozing and
aggressive policy, it forfeits the respect
t similar organizations, and loses both
he respect and the sympathy of the
ublic.

1t is II bad thing to have country eX-
clusively ruled by any one CLASSIFY the

The best that we can reasonably hope
for is that no one class will obtain too

a millionaire or a day laborer, to make

No drastic Legislation is needed to settle
the so-called problems growing out of
the relations of capital and labor. Cap
ital will compete against capital, and
labor will compete against labor There
is an endless agitation going on in society
and politics, a modified warfare, and no
paternal or sOcialisjc government will
ever be able to change these conditions.
This agitation-this flashing of opposing
interests, is not necessarily injurious. On
the contrary, it CHICKS usurpation, leads
to compromises, am educates public opin-
ion, which is the zeal governing power,
after all. In this country we do not
want q government representing either

The Grace Gang Once More.

The Grace gang Of otfice-seekcrs and
v-reckcrs is giving the democrats of the
country Il pretty fair exhibition of its
methods and purposes. w H. Grace
himself has won SOME n0torlety as wen
as sympathy, on account OF his supposed
enthusiasm for Mr.. Cleveland, but demo
Gratis who know him have never had any
confidence in his preJensi0nS. They KNOW
that there has never been time since he
began to dabble in politics that he would
not gladly have sacrificed his party or be
trayed its principles for an office. 1his
Is his record, and it is Il consistent one.
He is a democrat only so far as his pre-
tense OF democracy can give him Office OF
power.

Bucks Manifesto.

Colonel Buck has issued q circular to
the negroes Of Georgia to vote for the
candidates of the third party. But the
circular will have no effect.
BOSS" Buck is d back number. His
bungling methods no longer carry
strength, nor do his plans mater1allze.
Several weeks ago he called a republican
convention here and put through it
resolution against nominating candidates
for state offices or for congress. AS he
then expressed it nominations would be
useless and the negro might as well be
allowed to vote as he chose.
The negroes naturally rallied around the
democratic candidate for governor. Dem
ocratic administrations of state affairs
have given them the best schools for their
children and the invest rate of taxation
Bucks effort to change them now will
be Of no avail. The circular will not
cause a perceptible change either in the
state election or the congressional contest
in the tenth district. The negroes Of

Mr. Cleveland Letter.

Ex-President Cleveland's letter of ac-
ceptance Of the democratic nomination,
which The Constitution prints today, is
a document which cannot be misunder-
stood. 1t will command the ready and
loyal support Of every democrat.
1t plainly sets forth the great dividing
line between the two parties. 1t goes to
the core of the controversy over the abuse
of tariff legislation, and puts the demo-
cratic contention upon u basis which will
attract the favorable attention Of the vot-
ers of the land. The people are willing
to be taxed for the support of the govern
ment but when the line is crossed, and
taxes are collected for private purposes,
it becomes robbery, although committed
under the form Of law.
Mr.. Cleveland's references to civil ser
vice reform and to the currency are sen
sible and convincing. Honesty i'll gov
eminent and stability in business are in
diSpenSablc.
The battle line is now drawn, and I'M
der the command of our leaders-Cieye-
land and StevensOn-all true democrats
must rally for the victory of November.
