OF Interest to Granite-Cutters.

The high handed manner in which
affairs are often run in the legislature of
New York state is well illustrated in an
act passed last winter that is likely to be
rather widereaching in its results.
Assemblyman Tobin, at the request of
the Central labor union and in the inter
est of couple of hundred local granite
cutters, introduced a bill last February,
which became law, and which is likely
to throw out Of employment 10000 Amer
lean citizens, besides stopping paving
of the streets of the cities of New York
state.
The substance of this bill is given in
the following communication from Com
missioner Public Works Daley to local
contractors:
"You are hereby notified that according to an
opinion given me in writing by the Counsel to
the Corporation in relation to the application of
the act, chapter 277, of the Laws of 1894, all
stone used under contracts for municipal works
and improvements, including all contracts now
in existence, "a well as those hereafter to be
/ made, must lie worked dressed. carved upon
the ground where the work is being carried on,
York. and that this provision includes chiselled
and dressed stone for buildings, for basin
heads, cross walks, curb, tagging, paving
blocks and all kinds of stone which require
dressing or working to any size, dimension or
shape
"You are therefore notified that all such
stone which may he used and placed under
your existing contract for paving, from and
/ aft batn he, Irp-s ed
upon the ground where the work is carried on,
or within the boundaries of the city of New
York, and that any failure on your part to
comply with this notice will impose upon me
the duty of revoking your contract. Respect
fully. MICHAEL 7. DAILY.
Commissioner of Public Works"
Sept Is, 1894.
The consequences of this bill are:
More than 5000 granite block cutters
and helpers working in the quarries of
the New England states will have the i'm
portant market of the state of New York
closed to the products of their labor.
Nearly 1000 PAYERS and hammer men
throughout the state of New York, a
large proportion of them residing in New
York city and Brooklyn, will be thrown
out Oh employ menu, o"ihS " iaNh VI
materials to work with.
The cost of granite paving blocks to the
city will be increased threefold owing to
the necessity of bringing on the granite
in bulk from the quarries, and the con-
tractors will have to rent additional
yards.
The cost of granite paving is about
third lower than that of asphalt. Con-
tractors say that under Tobin's act
granite paving Will cost about double the
price of asphalt.
Apparently those who prepared this bill
We're not aware of these consequences.
Contractors only recently became aware
how serious he provisions of he bill af-
fectrd their interests, and measures are
being taken to counteract the effects OF
the bill If il should stand, the granite
industry of Hancock county would be
seriously affected, as large shipments are
made to points in NeW York state.

The newspapers in the First Con-

divided between Hon. j. M. Allen and
Hon. f. S. Gambler, Jr, for Congress.
As far as the Plaindealer is concern
ed, we are friendly to both the aspir-
ants. and anything we may say will be
as a matter of news. Both gentlemen
are fitted for the office, and the one
the people see proper to nominate
we will stand ready to support as a
democrat against any man who may
run against the nominee The fight
between the antagonistic journals is
getting pretty warm and will get
warmer. However, it is not our fight.

While the plains OF Kansas, Ne

Born in adversely. the child ofignor-
ance and demagoguery, sustained by
falsehood. misconception. prejudice

ing OF the Populist party. An organi-
cation that came into being without
demand for it, represented no particu-
lar economic question or principle in
government that was not already COW

bered only as one OF those occasional

Save Your Corn.

The farmer who has plenty OF corn
this year is fortunate. The people of
this section are going to see better
times If nothing takes place to cut
short the crop of corn. The follow
ing letter from Heron Taylor & Co.,
| OF Memphis, will serve to show how
important it is that close harvest
be- made and the crop disposed of, not
in a foolish or reckless manner, but
in judicious and business like way:
MEMPHIS, TENN, Aug II, 1891
DEAR sm:-
The extreme high price of corn, oc-
| casiotfed by the excessive drought over
the cotton belt, has resulted in the
unprecedented condition of affairs.
that corr Is dearer than wheat; and
that a barrel of corn meal is worth 20
| cents more than barrel of extra fam
cy -four. Flour should not pass by us
unheeded, but should engage The atten-
tion OF every merchant and farmer in
the South, and it is the purpose Of this
letter to advise you OF the situation,
with the hope that it may be of some
profit to you.
The old adage, "Tis an i'll wind that
blows nobody good" is verified at this
time, for the excessive hot winds in the
North and West have resulted in tens
and thousands OF acres OF the most fer
tile and productive fields OF corn. that
only a few weeks ago were luxuriantiy
green full OF promise, being to-day
scared and withered and even rain in
abundance is to late now to be bene-
fit. 1t Is OF special interest and for
tunate for the farmers OF this territory,
who for tho past few years have had
to struggle against adversites OF nj
most every nature. to know and ap-
preciate their good fortune this year
in having prospects OF bounteful
yield Of corn to harvest; and instead oi
being dependent upon the Northwest,
who for so many. years have sapped
the very life out OF our people by rea.
son OF our having to buy their corn,
to be in position this year to mo-
only be independent OF them, but pos
sible In some quarters, to supply ou
friends of the Northwest part O
their wants. Should this become tn
case. the South will enjoy such pc
riod OF prosperity rs she neve
dreamed of before.
, 1t therefore behooves you, you
| friends and neighbors, to harvest we
your corn crop. High-priced corn a
/ so means high-priced provisions f1
tho one naturally affects the other, an
and to no better use can yon put yor
surplus corn than fattening hogs fe
your own requirements and for tn
market. Wheat is being affected b
the price Of corn. but we may expet
for the next six months at least t
buy flour at reasonable low prices
We heartily congratulate our friend
upon their prospective bountefu' crops
and trust their expectations may b,
more than realized.
Yours very truly.

tunate in having an institution within
