The Price of Bread.

The bakers steadily resist the demand
for reduction in the price Of bread.
They assert they are making no more
money now than when -four was 81 or $
per barrel They give various reasons why
this is the case.
We do not pretend to understand the
bakery business, but IT does not seem
to be reasonable that when the price OF
-four has fallen at least one-half there
should be no reduction in the cost Of a
loaf Of bread. It is true there are other
articles than flour used in making bread,
but -four is the chief ingredient. The cost
Of the other ingredients Is small and it
IS reasonable TO suppose that as there
has been a decline in the price Of nearly
all other articles there has been a decline
in the prices Of these ingredients.
i is asserted that in Charleston and At
lanta there has been a very considerable
reduction in the price of bread. If the
statement is correct the argument for
the present price of bread in this city
is not sound. Surely the bakers here can
afford to sell bread as cheaply as it is
sold ia other cities Of this state, or in
cities of the adjacent states.
The times are hard and the poor find
it difficult to make their incomes meet
their expenses. A cent now is held on to
in many households as tenaciously as
a scent piece was a couple of years ago
Indeed, the cent pieces are scarcer than
the niclIle pieces We're
Naturally the bakers insist upon max
ing as much as they can out of their bus
mess. Without knowing what the fact is
We assume there is an understanding
among the bakers that there shall be
no reduction in the price of bread. If
this true the public may complain as
much as it pleases about the high price
of bread, without securing any conces-
sions from the bakers. If such a state
of things really exists there is a splendid
opening for baker who will consent
to sell bread at a fair profit. a baker who
would sell bread for cents loaf, or
two loayes for cents, would be very lib
orally patronized. 1t is said that seven
loaves are now sold for 25 cents. There
are very few families, however, that want
that many loaves at a time If more is
purchased than is needed for the days
CONSUMPTION it becomes stale, and, there
fore, undesirable.
1t seems to us that the price ought to
be reduced to cents loaf. or two loaves
for cents. Is there not a baker in the city
who is willing to sell bread at that price ?
If there is one, and he should reduce the
price of bread to the prices indicated
he would do a. thriving business.

The English Idiom.

A recent French visitor in this country,
says the New York World, was NJ. X,
man too talented and too well-knoWn to
permit the use of his name in this con-
nection; for this is TO set forth some of the
difficulties he experienced in the pursuit
of the English idiOm. interchangeable in
zeal, when literal translation failed him,
he resOrted to logic, aud when this led
him into error, as it inevitably did, he
depended solely upon memory, and would
often pause to search for a fitting phrase.
He witnessed play that was a success,
and the players We're called before the
curtain for applause. One actress in par
ticular was applauded.

Citv Election Fxnenses.

According to some of the speakers at the
Citizens Club meeting Monday night a
good deal of the money that has been sub
scribed for expenses heretofore at city
election has gone into the pockets of Il
few men-at least that is the inference we
draw from the reference to brick houses
The talk about 5000 or $4,000 for ex-
penses at the coming city election means
only one thing, and that is that money will
be needed to purchase votes that are pur-
chasable. The legitimate expenses of the
elections has gone into the pockets of a
Ultimate expenses can be made very large.
Before any candidate is named there
ought to be a clear understanding that not
a dollar will be spent in buying votes.
Not only is the buying Of votes wrong and
to be condemned in the strongest terms,
but the contributing of several thousand
dollars for vote buying purposes by citi-
zens is a burden they ought not to be
called upon to bear. The taxes are heavy
enough without the additional tax to scat
ter among purchasable voters.
If good citizens, instead of contributins
money to buy votes, would raise small
fund to get evidence Of bribery, and to
prosecute those who give brides or accept
them they would do the community a gen
uine service. The people want good men
to manage the city-Inen who are clean
handed and who win keep steadily in
view the city's welfare. If Office is OBJ
tanned by means that will not stand the
/ light of day the city is likely to be bur
dened with men whose chief purpose will
! be TO get their money back. Unless We

/ pie the vote buying business VIII DO a

TariY Reform Not Defeated.

In an article over his own signature
Hon. William L. Wilson, chairman of the
ways and means committee. says he does
not regard tho defeat Of the democrats
last Tuesday as a defeat Of tariff reform.
The proof Of this, he says, Is found in
the fact that republicans are nowhere ad-
vocating the repeal of the new tariff law.
Tho causes Of tho defeat. he says, are
the hard times and the action of a small
minority of democratic senator's, who de-
layed tariff reform and so changed the
tariff bill that the President refused to
sign it.
Speaking OF the first cause, he says:
Hard times is an enemy before " hich no
political party in America has ever been
able to make a successful stand when
in power The great, but empty whig
victory in 1910. the democratic triumph
Of 1874, 1875, 1882, and even in 1884
were either brought about or materially
aided by the financial and industrial SUI
ferng of the people"
With reference to tariff reform, he says:
II do not believe the people have re-
huked or discarded tariff reform in tAeir
action last Tuesday, for when I look over
the whole country I do not find that to
have been the common ground of their ac>
ton TO suppose such a thing would be
to accuse the American people of levity
and f1ckleness of purpose utterly incon-
sistant- with capacity for self-govern-
ment." In reference to the senators who
delaved the tariff hin Mr. Wilson ,o,.s.
IF they have inflicted chastisement be,
cause of it's dealing with the tariff il
has been rather because the party did not
carry out with sufficient promptness and
1 thoroughness the work they committed to
| It, and because they have held the whole
party responsible for the action of a
few OF its representatives in thwartlng,
/ delayed and manning this great work"
/ Mr.. Wilson, referring TO the effect OF the
| delay in passing the tariff bill, says: Il
| have no doubt that had the bill which
/ passed the House on Feb. ], passed the
! Senate as early as April or May, in sub
/ stantally it's original shape, the result in
/ Missouri and in many other sections of
the country would have been reversed,
and the Democratic party might even
/ have weathered the industrial storm with
/ credit, If not success"
The views of Mr.. Wilson as to the
cause Of the defeat Of the democrats are
substantially those which have been ex-
pressed by the Morning News. They are
views which are generally admitted to be
/ correct

Mr.. Marion Butler Of North Carolina,
who carries the successorship to Ran
som in the Senate in his vest pocket,
will probably assume the position of
leader Of the populists in the Senate over
the heads of PETER. Stewart, Kyle and
the others. Mr.. Butler has already out
lined a plan of campaign to be prose
cuted by the populists in the Senate. and
in the House as well Notwithstanding
he has as yet nothing to do with either
body. The FREQ coinage OF silver at IS
to ! is the paramount demand "of the
people" says Mr.. Butler; but the free
coinage Of silver win not be ali the
populists will stand for They will "de-
mand" ana work for the subtr+asury
scheme, the government ownership of
railways and telegraphs and all the other
schemes that the populsts have indorsed
in their party platforms since the organ
ization of the party. As to the actual
carrying out of the programme. the
financial part of it at least, Mr.. Butler
says, Il think the democrats want to do
what is right and We win make them
proposition, which they will no doubt ac-
cept." This observation on the part of
Mr.. Butler shows just what his opinions
and programme are worth
