BYNUM, WAGES AND VALUES.

If Mr.. Bynum and Secretary of State
Myers have been correctly reported they are
in favor OF cutting down the pay of me-
chanics earning high wages. like glass
blowers. on the ground that their COM
pensation is too much for the service they
render, Mr.. Bynum is reported to be griev-
ing over the wages OF the coal miners in
Pennsylvania who are guarded by soldiers
while they starve." He has reference to
one Of the unfortunate strikes which were
attended with violence. They struck be-
cause the mine operators refused to con-
tinue a certain scale of wages on the
ground that the prices Of coal and coke are
SO low and the market so restricted that
1892. AS a third of the coal mines of the
country had been closed by the panic
caused by Democratic uncertainty, there
are two miners for every days work, and
the coal markets were glutted. If there
had been the demand for iron, coal and
coke which there was during 1890, 1891 and
1892. there would have been no surplus and
no attempt to cut wages. Ignorantly, Mr..
Bynum has labored to bring on a condition
In which all the industries depending on
coal were paralyzed. A year ago he might
have seen that he was wrong and stopped,
but he would not. Instead, he was one of
the men who urged the putting of coal and
iron ore on the free list, which would have
given the soft coal markets of New Eng
land and such cities as New York and
Brooklyn to the Nova Scotia Coal COM
pany, composed largely of the Presidents
friends. unless the mines in West Virginia
and Pennsylvania could have furnished it
at a lower rate. Coal being 80 per cent.
labor, Mr.. Bynum voted to put the labor in
the coal mines furnishing the Eastern
States with soft coal on an equality OF
wage with the Nova Scotia miner. That is,
plores, Mr.. Bynum would help by putting
him in open competition with the Nova
Scotia coal miner who is paid less wages.

of opinion. For instance. the glass which
a blower makes has a commercial value
what value has Mr.. Bynum rendered to the
Seventh district for his 5000 salary and
emoluments? The best glass blower, whose
toll is the severest, may get $500 a year,
and the glass he makes is worth more than
that. Mr.. Bynum gets not less than $3.50
a year for voting for bills which have cut
down wages and farmers values 20 per
cent. and against 10000 OIL Indiana inter-
ests. All that ne has done of any conse-
quence recently has been to send his son
to the naval school-a life position. Mr..
Bynum gets $3.50 for worse than no service,
and the glass blower $3.50 for more than
$3.50 worth of goods. Mr.. Bynum is the
last man to talk about cutting down the
compensation of men to their values, since,
if his theory was applied to himself, his
compensation would be 5000.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 17.-Chairman Bah
cock, of the Republican Congressiona, cam

peatedly stated to the press that the Re-
publican congressional committee had alb
solutely no connection OF any Kind. either
directly or indirectly, with any secret So

that it has conducted the campaign strictly
upon the lines indicated in the last national
platform, realizing that the has

and, generally, in the ascendency Of men
who denounce the enforcement Of the laws
designed to secure that tranquility and Sc
curity which is essential to the well-being
of all. For these reasons the Populists
have not made much Roadway in Indiana
The Incorporate zeal and the reckless dec
larations of the leaders have defeated their
purpose with sensible people.
In this connection it is well to repeat
the caution Of experience. Two years age
a large number Of Democrats professed
conversion to PoDulism. Later on the
Democratic managers won them back TO
the fold. . but instructed them to make
agreements with men who had been Re-
publicans to vote the Populist ticket with
them, promising to do SO if the Repub-
licans would. The Republicans promised
to the extent of seven OF eight thousand.
and kept their promises. while the Demo-
Gratis, under the instruction of the Demo-
cratic managers. broke their promises and
voted the Democratic ticket.
Let Republicans look out for this trick
this year. as it is probable it will be at
tempted as in 1892. When a Democrat
promises this year to vote the Populist
ticket if a Republican will he is simply
getting what amounts to two Democratic
votes instead of the one which he is sure

What has got into the Anarchist lead
ers? A few days ago New York papers
contained glowing accounts of Johann
Most's successful appearance in a power
full play in which he showed real talent
as an actor. and now comes the announce
ment that Samuel Fielden. the pardoned
Chicago Anarchist. has determined to re-
tire to a farm for the rest OF his life.
Since he was pardoned out of Joliet prison
he has been peddling beer instead of an
archism, and having exhausted the possi-
billties OF both oc equations he has wisely
concluded to turn farmer. If all the An
archist leaders could be induced to follow
the example OF Messrs. Most and Fielden
the country would be greatly the gamer.
There is money in the stage and in farm
ing. rightly followed. and neither occu-
patton is as dangerous TO society or the
individual as throwing dynamite.

NEW YORK. Oct. I7.-No termination of
the cloakmakers' strike is yet probable.
While some of the smaller manufacturers
have surrenderd TO the strikers and signed
bonds for the maintenance OF price scale
the larger houses stand out unitediy and
firmly. 1t Is their determination not TO
recognize the union and TO deal with en-
ployes only and as individuals. The pre-
dent Of the manufacturers association says
that of the ten thousand people who struck
less than one-third have returned to work.
On the other hand the strikers claim to
have scored a substantial victory and say
that already most OF their people have been
taken back at the advanced scale.

The supporters of Hon. Tom Johnson, who
is running for Congress again in the Cleve-

point out of the great things he has done

Tom Johnson was forced by the fierce

many things which he would not have done
otherwise, and which he did not do in In

In commenting upon the comparisons
which it gives. the Economist pertinently
remarks:
1t may be claimed that these American
wage earners are not affected by a policy
OF protection. If we had no protection tens
of thousands of our wage earners in fac
tories would be out of work. There would
be hundreds of applications for every kind
of a vacancy, with the result of forcing
American wages down to the lower foreign
level. 1t is prosperity that enables good
wages for our people and a better mode of
living with more comfort and greater lux
ury than is enjoyed by foreign wage earn
ers. and we can only be assured Of prosper
ity by protection.
Experience has proved the past year that
the foregoing is true. When factories and
workshops closed. the men they left idle
sought employment in all other lines of
industry, and with three men or women
eager to obtain one place. the price of
wages has been educe all along the nom
protected industries.
