The Distribution of Seed.

The New York Mail and Express en-
ters a vigorous protest against the free
distribution of seed by our national
lawmakers.
In fling this original complaint the
Mail and Express INDUCES in some very
Dlain statements. Though cheerfully ad
hitting that the plan TO provide SEED
for those who are not able to buy them
in the market is theoretically a good
one. the New York paper insists that it
amounts to a very great evil in its prac-
teal operation Instead of helping those
for whose benefit the measure was pri-
marfly intended. The Mail and Express
declares with some Impotence that il
simply plays into the hands of politi-
clans who are working for their re-elec-
ton. while the humber classes of the
people derive no benefit from the dis
tribution whatever. a cOngressman's
allowance of seed is generally regarded
by him as a part of his working cam
paign material" says our contempt
rary, "and he rarely fails to put it where
it viii do the most good for his own
political interests without considering
the real needs of his constituents"
While The Mail and Express is evil
IDENTIFY sincere in making this spirited
assault upon the custom of distributing
seed. It seems that our contemporary is
making mountain out Of a mole hill
and wasting its buckshOt on a sparrow.
Why this display of virtuous indigna-
ton. in a matter of such trivial impor-
lance. when there are so many patent
evils growing out of republican eXtrava-
gance and recklessness which might be
discussed to much better advantage? in
stead of declaiming against our con-
gressmen for using some political dis
erection in the matter of distributing
their allowance of seed, The Mail and
Express should preserve its temper for
some less imaginary grievance. Though
shrewdly covered, the blow which our
contemporary directs against the dis
tribution of seed is aimed primarily at
the agricultural districts of the country.
most of which are democratic; and, m
der the guise of hostility toward poll
ical evil, The Mail and Express is real
" playing a shrewd political game OF
its own
But aside from this view of the mat
ter. il seems that our contemporary.
without going so far from home. could
find much better excuse for quarreling
over our national extravaganza than the
one cited After getting rid Of more
troublesome evils it will then be in or
der to revert back to the head Of gar
den seed.

Senator Chandler to the Front.


1t cannot be denied that Senator
Chandler is giving the -and-out gold
men in his party food for serious re-
Election. On Tuesday ne made another
speech in behalf of his anti-gold stand
ard resolution, drawing out some inter-
esting records, and warning his party
that it would go down before a big
wave of public condemnation unless it
insisted on carrying ont its pledge to
secure international bimetallism.
We call the attention of Editor Cod
kin and the gold brethren to The fact
that this unexpected agitation of the sill
yer question does not come from dem
ocrats popocrats, anarchists" and the
like. but emanates, as it were, from
the very bowels of New England, sec
ton which boasts of being the center
of wealth. education and refinement.
II comes from a prominent and an ac-
tive member of the republican party.
This republican senator is not only
agitatng the silver question at the top
Of his voice. but he goes farther and
becomes a genuine calamity bowler.
He declared it TO be his own conviction
that the decentralization of silver is the
cause of the downward tendency Of
prices and values, and he announced
to the brethren that he doubted very
seriously whether the era of restored
prosperity was near at hand. He said
he had come to the conclusion that
prices had not yet touched bottom.
Now the democrats and real silver
men have nothing whatever to do with
this unexpected agitation" Of the sill
yer question. They are not RESPONSE
Bile for it. While they believe that the
bottom has not yet been reached and
while they know that all the distress
from which the country is suffering is
due TO the decentralization of silver, yet
they do not feel that it is profitable
to discuss the question at this time.
The people have adopted and indorsed
another policy. The voters of the coun-
try have commissioned the republicans
to restore prosperity by the prompt
and active application of international
bmetallism and of tariff taxes, and un-
til that policy is tried and found to be
a failure the democrats and real silver
men believe that further agitation
would be useless-not harmful. for
there is never any harm in free and
unlammeled discussion in this repub-
lie. but entirely useless.
Nevertheless, if the republicans and
the gold men cannot control this active
representative of the wealth, education
and refinement of New England well
and good Perhaps. after all, he is
serving a useful purpose in publicly
warning his party of the public con-
demnation that lies in wait for them if
they do not promptly restore prosper
ity.

channel OF commerce will be fed.
Money that is boarded ceases to be
money. 1t becomes more important
than money. 1t represents poverty, idle
ness, crime and all the woes Of social
uneasiness and distress. The money
that the farmer receives for his produce
goes to the small tradesmen, thence to
the larger merchant, thence to the job
Der, thence to the factory, and from the
factory into the hands of the wage
earners, back into trade again, making
n wholesome and profitable visit to the
pocket of every worker.
When financial distress falls upon the
farmer, the force of the blow is spent
on those who depend on him, and those
who directly depend on him in this
country constitute the vast majority OF
the people. We advise our metropoh-
tan contemporaries that unless they
perceive the truth and are willing to
announce it, their fair city may prepare
itself for worse days to come.

Wages and Prices.


We are glad to see the esteemed
Springfield Republican disposed to ac-
knowledge facts which il was inclined
10 ignore or dispute during the recent
campaign. The admissions made by The
Republican occur in the course Of an ar
ticie commenting on the recent reduc-
ton OF wages by the Illinois steel works
the most radical reduction that has yet
been made Skilled laborers who form
erly worked for $3.50 and 81 day are
now compelled TO accept $50 and 81

they conceived to BE their rights.
in short. the men accept the reduc-
tion with hardly word of protest. They
seem 10 have dim perception that the
same cause which compels the steel
works 10 reduce the prices of their pro-
ducts. compels them 70 reduce wages. In
short. il is AN object lesson to wage
carriers everywhere and In all lines. and
the steel companies are responsible only

ence to maintain the present conditions

North Carolina road to dispose or in
the courts, and not through the legisla-
ture, for the state is merely one OF the
stockholders.
But we hear of no charges OF fraud
that have been or can be substantiated.
At this distance, the movement In the
North Carolina Legislature has very
much the appearance of scheme TO
enable rival railway to destroy the
trunk line competition to the south.
The Seaboard Airline, which is a
competitor of the Southern, and which
would be a competitor of the North
Carolina railroad, if the Southern were
to go out of business, has made tenta-
tive offer of 10 per cent interest on
the stock of this vital link in the South
ern's competing system.
Let us be clearly understood at this
point. The Constitution is no more
friendly to the Southern than it is to
the Seaboard. 1t is friendly to both
when they are giving the people the
benefits of such service as the people
have a right to expect. 1t welcomed
the Seaboard to Atlanta as Compel
itor of the Southern, but when the
Seaboard places itself behind an effort
not only to attack competition at a
vital point. but to practically destroy
the fastest and the most completely
equipped mail and passenger service the
south has ever seen, we unhesitatlngly
oppose it as a movement against the
best interests of the public.

full. will go deeper than this. In its
essence it is a blow aimed at the thrill
test and most promising section OF the
south, namely: the great Piedmont re-
gion. The bill that has for its purpose
the abrogation of a solemn contract
If passed. will destroy the vitality or
the Southern railway as through line.
The trains it will run north and
south. if the connecting link be-
tween Charlotte and Greensboro Is
broken. will be local trains mere
" and will be run as such. 1t
is hardly conceivable that measure
sacrificing the great industrial ana
commercial interests of North Carolina
could be favorably reported to the leg
islature of that state; but such seems
TO be the case. And what is more sur
prising. it seems to have the approval
of the executive and it has received a
bare majority in the house of represent
atives. though a majority of both the
democrats and the republicans voted
against it.
That the efficacy Of the North Caro-
lima railroad. which is the bone of con-
tention. would be hurt in measure by
the abrogation of the present lease is
shown by the rapid decline in the
shares since the introduction in the
legislature of the bill on which we
have been commenting.

responsibility in the premises except to
refrain from factious opposition and OBJ
struction when the republicans under
take to redeem their campaign pledges.
We have no doubt that the sensible and
timely remarks of Mr.. McRae, of Ar
kansas. gave the republican members OF
the coinage committee occasion for re-
Election.
Beyond all question the democratic
policy, suggested by common sense, and
first urged by The Constitution, is Civ
ing the republicans unexpected trouble.
They thought to find the democratic
congressman, smarting under the sting
of defeat, anxious to oppose and OBJ
struct the republican programme. with
plans which they know to be utterly
inefficient to meet the present crisis,
they hoped to be able TO say, 1--WE tried
our best to restore prosperity, but the
unpatriotic democrats persisted in Cd
structing the legislation we promised
to put in operation. They are respon-
sible FOR our failure"
They are surprised, therefore, to find
the democrats so willing to accommo-
ious to carry out their programme and
redeem their pledges. They would be
glad to have it otherwise; but as it is
not otherwise they are in something OF
a quandary. 1t is to be feared they VIII
have to caucus over the situation when,
politically, is somewhat unprecedented.
They do not at all relish the idea Oh
being permitted quietly to carry cut
their plans and assume in reality the
responsibilities which are among the re-
suits of their victory.
This is clearly shown by some re-
marks made to our Washington CORE
spondent by Congressman Hepburn. oil
Iowa, who, in some respects is the ablest
republican in the house. Mr.. Hepburn
was frank enough to say to our Wash
ington correspondent that he is not al
together glad that the democrats have
shown a Willingness to make way Tor
administration measures. There IS
a strong possibility" he remarked, that
the enactment of tariff law such as
will be prepared by the republicans,
viii not bring about the relief which
the people of the country expect" Their
fore. lit would be better for the repub-
leans from 4 party standpoint, to have
somebody on whom to throw the
blame"
This is tho real feeling of the repub-
leans. and even the mild expression of
it made by Congressman Hepburn will
serve to show how timely. how sensi-
bic and how effective is the attitude Of
the democrats in congress.
