THE WASHINGTON STRIKE.

Some days ago the. street a motor
men and conductors struck in Wash
ington> City. The company reduced
their pay for IA hours per day from
50 08 to 81 81. The company also re
cinded the rule to allow policemen to
ride free. Fright there" says the
Atlanta Press, the administration
dropped it's candy" The striking EN-
ployees created pandemonium. They
derailed cars, ''scab" wer maltreated,
officers of the company hooted at, and
the whole system was brought to a
standstill. Did the metropolitan police
interfere, did they club or arrest the
strikers? No. DID Grover order out
the .. s. troops, as he did in the Chi
cago striker Not he. The Washing
ton police and the U. S. militia were
right there. The street Car company
had the audacity to say that the police
could no longer ride free. Not a po
liceman budged to suppress the law
lessness, and Grover didn't say a word,
Grover stands in with the railroad cor
porations, he is their hired tool, but a
street car company is too small. He
quietly nurses his govt and drinks beer
while the riot lasts. Finally the street
car company, seeing that the Law will
not be enforced, are compelled to make
peace with the strikers and they go
back to work.
The moral is plain. The Washing
ton street "a company ought to have
employed Grover as attorney years
ago. 1t ought to have given him a big
block of stock, Then he would have
ordered the national police and soldiers
TO ''shoot down the strikers like dogs"

is, the big corporations who pay for
his friendship.

A POINTER FOR THE CHURCH.

Gen. Black, of Georgia, lately, in
contest with POpllist Tom Watson for
a seat in the House, made an offer to
call the election a draw and play it all
over again. Watson, to whom politi-
cal campaigns are as the breath of his
nostrils, took Black up. There will be
another election in that district and
the battle of Black against Watson
will be fought again. And the cogent
u of Blacks offer to Watson was
the church to which Black belonged.
There were some 10, more votes
polled in the district than lived and
had their district being. This was
very d~iscouraging to the church, which
notified Black through a committee of
good folk that he could not take a
House seat with a stain of fraud upon
it and retain his place in the church
line. Whereup0n Black plucked up
vast virture and said he felt the same
way himself. Then followed his offer
to Watson to vote over. There is gen
eral fear that even the next election
will assay at least fifty ounces of fraud
to the ton, an apprehension somewhat
justly grounded when one reflects
that the districts has not enjoyed an
honest election in twenty years.
Now the burning question is, will
these same church people permit the
same stealing again3 If they are in

A L ABOUT COTTON.

On our eighth page we publish al
important cotton letter lately issued
by Latham, Alexander & Co., of New
York, bankers and cotton commission
merchants. This firm are large deal
ers and issue the only official cotton
book published annually, hence any
thing they publish is regarded as i'm
portant.
We learn from them that, while the
total amount of cotton that has come
in sight this season is 50, 631 bales more
than in 1891, the total visible supply at
this time is 40, COS bales less than in
1891, and the price is more than 2 cents
per pound less,
They admit that the present price is
below cost of production, though a few
sorry fools here in the South claim
that the crop is profitable at 8 cents
per pound. They further admit that
the price of cotton has declined even
beyond what the unfavorable con
ditions and depreciating Influences
have warranted. Some more Southern
fools can stick a pin here. We also
want the fools to notice that this firm,
one of the oldest and best posted in the
country. say nothing about ''overpro-
duction." They take the same position
we have held on nearly every point,
except that they say nothing about
the demonetization of silver, in this
and other SO called civilized countries,
being an important factor in the de-
probation. =
As to overprCduction, we do not be
lieve in it. We take no stock in this
Egyptian cotton racket. If the whole
of Egypt was one vast cotton field, it
wouldn't make a shirt for one tenth of
the European people. The truth is
Egypt don'C produce much cotton, and
the grade is Inferior, being used only
for making carpets and other coarse
goods. The few thousand bales in
cas- in the American crop this year
is Of no Importance. It wouldn't make
a pocket handkerchief for one half of
our people. If our country was as pros
porous as it was fifteen years ago, and
If the European goldbug countries we're
still using silver, it would take 5,OOO,-
900 more bales of cotton to supply their
wants than was raised this season.

10 cents last year, a difference of 1
cents. The average farm price in
Kentucky, which is the State of the
largest production, is 5.5 cents per
pound, or L 2 cents below the average
for the country.
The sAlling price of potatoes on the
farm on December 1, ia reported at an
average of IS 5 cents per bushel, or 4 s
cents less than at the same date last
year. The average plantation price of
cotton, as shown by the Department
reports, on December 1, was 4 9 cents
per pound against 500 cents for the
same date last year and cents In
the year 1892, a decline from the prices
of these years, respectively, of % and
8 S cents per pound. The lowness Of
this price is without preced ent.
The condition of winter wheat on
December 1, averaged SO against 81 5
in the year 1898 and 87.4 in the year
1892 In the principal winter wheat
States the percentages n as follows:
Ohio, 90; Michigan, 90, Indiana SO;
illinois, 81; Missouri, 90; Kansas, 70;
Nebraska, 76; California, 90. The re-
turns of correspondents of the Depart
ment make the acreage of winter
wheat sown last fall 1O3 per cent of the
final estimate of area harvested in
1894, which was %, 518, 796 acres. A
figure larger than the preliminary
estimate given in June last, which
upon further investigation was found
to be too low. This preliminary esti-
mate, therefore, makes the area sown
for the harvest of 1895, 20, 224. 900

APOLOGIES FOR SECRETARY
CARLISLE.

The New York Times apologies for
Secretary Carlisle's flop on the silver
question as follows:
The presentation of Secretary Car
isles plan for bank currency has al
ready led to several distinct and valu
able advantages, quite Independent Of
the merits and defects of the plan itself.
The chief of these undoubtedly is the
effect on the public opinion of the South
and West. Mr.. Carlisle is known and
trusted in regions where the bankers
and economists of the East r not in
high favor. He is not regarded as in
sympathy with the money power
has come to his present Office
through close political association with
the men who have been ~fanatical for
free silver. He has himself been an
advocate of measures which, though
not extreme at the time, decidedly
more ipfationist than anything he
could accept now. His views have
changed, partly with study, partly
through the changed condition of the
country, which he las had the sense to
perceive and the courage to recognize.
That the Finance Minister of the Re-
public should, with such antecedents,
now insist on the gradual retirement Of
the greenbacks, and on the absolute
maintenance of gold payments, is of
material benefit to the country. We
can hardly realize how great it is until
we remember what was the demOraliza-
tion of public opinion which permitted
the disastrous financial legislation of
the fifteen years preceding 1898"
The truth of the business is that Sec
rotary Carlisle seldom draws a sober
breath. He has deadened all his sense
of right by soaking his system with
whiskey. We doubt whether he has
submitted a financial plan or anything
else since he was appointed to the place
in the Cabinet. Agents of Wall street
have prepared all his plans and he sub
mits to their dictation without even
knowing what they want done. He
has deteriorated from a staunch free
coinage advocate to a Wall street tool.

WE TOLD o so.

Beyond all question the single gold
standard furnishes it's opponents with
all the arguments against it that are
necessary. We are now having the
practic Il results of it's operations. 1t
is no longer necessary to predict that
it will ]depreciate value and prices,
depress business, and lower wages.
We have the single gold standard and
these results are before us. We are
face to face with them. They confront
us US on every hand. They confront
us and the end is not yet. The situa-
ton grows steadily worse. Our stock
of gold, on which all u currency is
based, is at the mercy of any foreign
money shark who wants it. Prices
continue to fall. The lower they fall
the more gold must be exported, and
the more gold goes out the lower prices
fall. The country will never have
permanent relief until the people com
pei their servants to restore silver

a brass band, and, in a speech he made
before he spoke on the Gospel of Christ
mas, he expressed, in joyous words.
his conception of his victory.
From the first word to the last there
was not an expression of regret for the
stand he had taken, and for which he
had been condemned. He spoke of
his cause as a holy one, and of himself
and his followers as martyrs. He told
of his triumph, declared that Rome
had acknowledged that he had always
been in the right, and announced that
he would lecture in the same place,
for the same cause, every Sunday
night.

The above shows, if anything we're
necessary to prove. that DR.. McGlynn
will not be buldozed. His record
proves that he will leave the Church
again rather than be bridled in his ut
terances. Let all of our protestant

tianity and for justice, Let them join
with the people in a crusade against
the money power. -

DIR. McGLYNN RESTORED.

The partial report of a speech made
some weeks ago in Chicago by Rev.
DR.. Edward McGlynn, of New York,
will be read with interest. It is on
our first page.
DR.. McGlynn has been talking these
doctrines for years. During all that
time those high up in the Catholic
Church we're opposed to him on that
account. In 1887. after many re usals
on his part to give up his ideas, he was
communicated. In 1892 he was al
lowed t say mass in his old church.
He went from the church straight to
Cooper Union and made a speech to
laboring men. Since that time he has
been out of the church asa priest. By
order of the Pope, DR.. McGlynn vas
restored to the priesthood in 1892, but
was given no church, and has spent
much of his time lecturing when not
with his sister near New York. But
having shown no disposition to change
his political views, he was given a
parish last week. This is not only a
great victory personally for DR.. Nc
Glynn, but is a victory for reform
doctrines. If some Of our protestant
ministers would refuse to bow to the

DECEMBER CROP REPORT.

The returns to the Statistical Divis
ion of the Department of Agriculture
for the month of December relate
principally to the average farm price
of various agricultural products on
the first day of the month. By farm
prices is meant the price of product on
the farm or in the nearest local town
or railway market. In comparisons
of these pric3 % with commercial quota
tions allowance must be made for cost
of handling, transportation, profits OF
dealers, etc.
The farm price Of C )rn averages 45 6
cents per bushel, which is 9 1 cents
higher than the corresponding pri3 20 of
last year, which was SO 5 cents per
busheI. This price is 6 3 cents per
bushel higher than the average price
for the decade 1880 to 1889, and is just
4 cents higher than the average for the
three years 1890 to 1898
The average price of wheat is 40 8
cents per bushel, the lowest price in
the past twenty five years. This price
is 80 9 cents less than the average for
the ten years, 1880 to 1889, and is % 1
cents less than the average for the
four years 1890 to 1898.
The returns make the general price
per bushel of rye so 5 cents, which is
1 3 cents lower than the price at the
same date last year.
The average farm price of oats as
returned for December 1, this year. is
IL cents higher than for the cores
ponding date last year, being 80 8
cents per bushel, against % 8 cents
December 1, 1893.
The average farm price of barley is
A 8 cents per bushel, against 40 6 cents
for the year 1893, or a gain of 8 z
cents. The price for 1892 was 47.2.
The average price of buckwheat is
56.2 cents per bushel against SO cents
for the year 1898, or a decline of
cents.
The returns show the average price
of hay to be 50 35 per ton, while that
of last year on the farms was 1918
The average price for 1892 was IS 49.

OF COURSE NOT.

Speaking of the persistent eff rts OF
the Democrats to create ~jealousies and
distrust between the Republican and
Populist members of the legislature,
and thereby defeat any reform legisla-
ton contemplated, the Winston Rep"0
icGn says:
For one We %apprehend no danger on
this line. The same Influences t1dI
operated to make co operation po5slole
and practicable throughout the .0Iat9
will serve to work the reform
by the people. P liticians had very
little to do with tffecting co operation
and they will not be able to AZTEC. LIS

Populists need to do is to take a WEE
conservative course, reduce taXaIlOD'
