IT seems the Democracy of the sew
eral States are not to be allowed to
make their own platforms and retain
then In peace. The Democracy of
Georgia made Free Silver platform
and placed a Free Silver can 1idate
upon it. 1t looks as if the administra-
ton had sent Hoke Smith and others
of its goldbug acolytes down there to
kick its platform to pieces and defeat
its candidates. They in effect tell the
Democrats of Georgia the administra-
ton knows what is best for them, and
that there is nothing like the single
gold standard. Meantime. the Geor-
gia planter is enjoying his fve-cent
cotton quite as much as the Missouri
farmer enjoys his fifty cent wheat. 1t
is most singular spectacle to see a
cabinet officer of Democratic Admin
istration antagonizing a State platform
of his party, and, incidentally, a can
didate who has the manhood to stand
upon it. The Democrats of Georgia
can comfort themselves with the as
surance that no man with such a name
as Hoke can by any possibility amount
to anything. Let that kind of cattle
be kept away from Missouri!

The Honorable Roger @. Mills is
now engaged in explaining to his Tex
as constituents that his ad voca " of the
free coinage of silver was a mistake.
How long will it be before he is
around explaining to the same con-
stituency that his advocacy of Tariff
Reform was mistake? 1t is singular
that man OF Senator Mills attain
ments should so suddenly change his
convictions upon a subject so vital. He
as public servant must have given
the coinage question quite as much
thought as the tariff question, for the
one is as important as the other. This
sudden conversion has hint of policy
about it. Is Mr.. Mills casting his
shadow towards the White House?
Does he imagine that he can harness
the Tariff Reformers of the West and
the gold trust of the East to his char
lot? If he does, he will discover later
that he has made a mistake. Mr..
Mills. ceased to be factor in politics
when he consented to be Mr.. Cleye-
lands nice little Fido.

A Philadelphia Humbug.

In Philadelphia Edward T. Steel &
Co. are among the leading WOODEN
manufacturers. According to the
Times of that city, this firm has issued
a circular to its employees announcing
reduction of 10 per cent in wages
"to meet the foreign goods produced
undsr the most favorable conditions
and by the lowest-priced skilled labor
in the civilized world" The Phila-
delphia Times justly protests against
this Misrepresentation of the facts,
and in kindly but emphatic language
cautions the firm that it is inviting
trouble.
1t may be doubted if there is any
cheaper skilled labor sin the civilized
world" than that employed by Ed
ward T. Steel & Co. of Philadelphia.
At least if there is it is for the reason
that that firm has been unable to pro-
cure it, for it has been its custom to
import cheap labor under contract
whenever it was possible to do SO.
But aside from that fact there is a
Misrepresentation in the statement in
the firm because under the Mckinley
bill, Notwithstanding the reduction OF
wages to starvation rates, the mills OF
the firm were unable to run at all,
VIII ereas under the new law they are
being put in readiness to move.
The new tariff law protects the
products of such mills as those operat.
ed by Edward T. Steel & Co. to the
extent of 40 per cent, and gives them
a free market in which to buy sup
plies. That is really giving them ad'
vantages over the conditions that ex'
listed under the Mckinley law, and the
proposition to reduce wages is nothing
more or less than a cruel purpose to
debase labor to the measure of help
less slavery. Instead of decreasing
wages Edward T. Steel & Co. might
well afford to add to the 0eggarly
stipend they have been paying work
ingmen.
As to the matter of wages a word
may be said for the information of the
public. At no time within the last
dozen years has the labor cost of a
yard of worsted or wooden dress goods
been as much in the United States as
in England or any other place. The
days wage for an operative has been
trife higher. but the product OF an
American operative has been SO much
greater that the labor cost per yard in
America has been from one-fourth to
one-third less.-Kansas City Times.

The Democrats of Nebraska held a
State Convention the other day. They
honestly thought they had right to
do so, and they labored under an old
fashioned delusion that the majority
should rule, and had right to make
the platform. But the friends of the
administration could not be brought to
take this view of the case. They
wanted the gold standard. and as the
convention did not seem to be impress
ed with their views, and declared for
the free coinage of silver at the ratio
of 16 to /, about IS members of the
convention, who were gold standard
men, withdrew and held convention
of their own. This is perhaps the foil
Republican contingent that has hither-
to been wearing the mask Of Democ-
racy in that State. Let them 60; they
properly belong to the Republican
party, and are now openly assisting
that party. The Democracy may re-
joice that they have gone to their own
place. The party would be stronger
II 1t could free itself from the Repub-
1scan contingent in every State in the
Union.
