THE E0E-PARTIsAN PLEDGE.

The action of certain Democratic candi-
dates in repudiation of the Non-Partisan
pledge to support the new charter in case
its ratification should come before the
Legislature exposed the folly of requiring
such pledge. While the hardness of the
repudiators in publishing their refusal to
be bound by the pledge until it was too
late for the Non-Partisans to withdraw
their Endorsement is not creditable to
them, the fact remains that their position
with reference to the subject is logically
correct.
1t is fact which admits of no dispute
that member of the Legislature is the
creature and servant of his constituency
and is bound in his official action to fol-
low the dictation of his district whenever
it is expressed in any formal way. The

for free wool In order that our wooden man
ufacturers, unburdened by a tax upon foreign wool
wool. may manufacture for a wider market.-Hon
William Jennings Bryan, in Congress.
Let us see how Mr.. Bryan's theory has worked
out in practice.
The comparison that we al now making be-
tween the condition of American wage-earners
this year and in 1892 has brought us los re-
ports from manufacturers of wooden and
worsted goods. These reports show the num-
Der OF hands employed in these establishments
two years after enjoyment of the proteetion
afforded by the Mckinley tariff-in July, 1892
and two years after the enjoyment of the
great free trade gilt of free wool-in July,
1895. The results to labor compare as follows:
No of Hands employed. Amt Of wages paid.

per cent, or at the rate OF s4l96Sb2 year In los
AysT.gs mSnss1y wage: in July, July 1892 sss :ss
1t appears, then, that the Democratic gift of
free wool. which Mr.. Bryan advocated and
voted for, instead CT enabling our wooden
manufacturers to manufacture for wider
market" has contracted by fully one-hslf the
market that they used 70 possess In 1892. So
much so that they have been compelled to dis
charge almost so per cent of their hands; to
reduce the average rate of wages by $5
month among those who were fortunate
enough to retain their jobs, and to decrease
the total payrolls of the mills by Sc per cent
at the rate OF 81, 196, 1852 q year in 105 fac
tories.
The reports cover rather more than one-sixth
of the total number of the wage-earners in the
woolen-mills in 1890, and also rather more
than one-sixth of the total amount Of wages
paid them in the same year.
Therefore, applying our results to the CEN
sus figures we find that there were over 90, 900
workers idle in all our woolen-mills after two
years of the free trade in wool experiment;
also that their total annual loss of wages ag-
gregated at the rate of $25, ,000, 900 year.
But the results are even worse than this be-
cause the effect of the protective tariff of 1890
was to largely increase the number of our
woolen-mills: to largely increase the number
of hands working in the mills, and to largely
widen the market for our woolen goods. Hence
the comparison with 1880 by no means re-
fleets proper comparison with the total con-
dition of the industry OF 1892. tits perfectly
safe to say that more than 10000 woolen-
workers have been out of employment owing
to the Democratic policy of free trade in wool,
which Bryan voted for, and that their loss OF

cisco or of the voters which belong in
each. nor had it any authority TO bind a
member of either house of the Legislature
to support any measure against the wishes
of the voters who elected him. Upon the
question of the adoption or rejection of
the new charter the electors of each legis-
latiye district are as supreme in their right
of dictation to their representative as they
are upon any other subject. 1t follows
that the action of the Nom Partisan Con-
vention in attempting to bind certain can
didates for the Legislature to do something
which their constituents might not ap-
prove was mistake, and that the pledge
which it has exacted is, as it should be,
vain and useless thing.
When the day of election arrives the
voters of each Senatorial and Assembly
district will pass Judgment upon the
merits or dement's of the proposed charter,
and by so doing will instruct the legislators
whom they may elect how to vote upon
the same subject in the event of the charter
receiving enough votes to entitle it to go
before the Legislature. The proper con-
struction of the Non-Partisan pledge
should therefore be taken to amount to
nothing more than this, that the success
ful candidates for the Legislature will,
when at Sacramento, vote for or against
the charter as the constituents of each of
them voted here.
