SOMK STARTLING FIGURES.

T, roy,iewind clairn which Mr.. Mchlh-
lev has put out. that the south has eS-
nec,auy been benefited by protectoh' lhe
baltimore sun makes the following re-
marks
Wbere does Mr.. Mckinley find any evil
derce that the South has been DeDeHtted
by protection? The census OF 1899, com
piled by Republican officials, comple'glIy
refutes his assertion. 1t SHOWS that the
accumulation of wealth from 1880 10 1871
was steadily greater in the ,manufactur-
ing States than in the agricultural 2tdteS.
Take four typical northwestern states,
Nebra ska, Iowa, Illinois, and Indiana; ana
five typical southern States Louisiaha'
Mississippi Alabama, Georgia, ana North
Carolina, and we find that with hty-
eight times as much land, they had among
them, in 1880, twice as much capital and
seven times as much population as Massa-
chusetts. Yet the census testtfes that
from 1850 to 1880, THOSE nine tio states ,l N
3i1 974 while the one State of Massachu-
sets increased its assessed valuation by
$569. 377, 1924. And yet Mr.. Mckinley can
keep a straight face while he tells the
people of Ohio that Republican tariffs
have been framed In spirit of "devo-
ton TO all the material interests OF the
South"
"by their fruits We shall know them"
The farmers of the United States owned
s. 600 900 900 Of the $Sth,000 900 which was
the total assessed valuation or the cOun-
try In 1850. In 1880 they owned only
SIS, 900 900, 600 of the $4,000, 00o09 which
was then it's total assessed valuation, and
of that SIS 900 600, 900 they really owned only
80 900 OOO, 900, for the rest was covered with
mortgages Those figures tell the story Of
the reduction Of the farming wealth of the
country from over one-half 10 about one
sixth Of its whole valuation under tariffs
in making which, according to Mckinley
his party never overlooked a single south
ern interest" Another thirty years OF
such devotion to all the material inter
eSts of the South" and they would be
wiped out altogether-kiiled by Repubh-
can kindness.
These are very remarkable and very
startling figures. 1t is positively as
founding that the single State Of Massa-
chusetts should have increased its as
sessed valuation Of property be-
tween 1880 and 1890 S569,377,S2i, ten
millions more than the nine States
named. which had ffty-eight times
as much land and twice as much
capital. increased in the same time. This
was, of course. the result of the protec-
tive tariff laws that enabled Massachu-
sets manufacturers to rob all the other
people Of America. Could more power
full lesson in protection be read?

ANOTHER CIIY HALL JOB.

Unless the people OF Richmond rouse
themselves and take prompt ana eher-
eetic stems 10 prevent II. the city council
which seems 10 be bent on schemes OF
snendinR money, viii fix series OF JOBS
upon II that win prove as disastrous TO
II az the City Hall. The agitators for an
electric plant have pushed their schemes
along until they have got bids submitted
for the erection of one to cost, accord
ing 10 the lowest bid. si24,000, ana, ac-
cordlng TO the highest one, $1,000. what
the city Is TO get for either sum Is not
stated. How much electricity VIII be
furnished we don't know and what "ouid
be the cost Of operating the plant we DO
not know. All that we do know with alb
solute certainty is that If any plant at
all is erected We shall have another aims
house for ward politicians and political
heelers TO ind salaried places in. We
know that with absolute certainty; all
else connected with the case is dark as
midnight
We now have this definite proposition
TO ada from sl24,OOO TO $4,000 to our debt.
running along at the same time with
another proposition to add $4,000 to 1t
Tor new water IndlHo, WINCH tHt ''"bN'-
tntendent of Water tells us will require
sl55.oo0 more to provide pumping capacity
that Will supply tne new mains with
water, We have, therefore, definite
proposition TO embark on an expenditure
of $4,000 the money to be secured by
selling the city's bonds. and we know per-
fectly well that when We start to spend
ing $4,000 by day labor and politics there
is no reasonable hope that we will get
out upder a million.
Is this city in any condition to add
million of dollars 10 its bonded debt?
Whoever knows anything at all about the
state of the case knows that 1t is not.
1T Is very questionable whether the city
could sell million of dollars of its
bonds. It's debt Is already too large. and
a proposition TO add another million TO
Il would give sad blow TO its credit.
AMI what would We get at the end?
An electric plant which would probably
be obsolete as soon as IT was completed
through Improvements going on in the
methods OF developing electricity, and an
addition to our water works 10 furnish us
water that we already have If we Will
only require those who waste water TO
use metres, so that they can be made
10 pay for what they waste.
People of Richmond, you must rouse
yourselves. or you have another City
Hall job staring you in the face.
