The average workingman is an intelll-

therefore. asking himself no such absurd
question. without any pretensions TO
superior knowledge Of the constitution
and laws Of this country, he knows very
well that the duties Of a protective tarlH
are laid for the protection OF American
industries against foreign competition
and not for the protection OF the labor OF
one section against the cheap-labor manu-
features of another. Competition between

or course The Times did not say and
did not mean TO say that the American
workman expected the Dingley tariff to
protect him against competition with his
fellow worlcmen in other States Of the
Union and such an inference is entirely
gratuhous.
Our point Is clear enough. Protection
does not protect the American working
man-does not insure him higher wages,
as the protectlonist has been telling him,
and the New England incident is opening
his eyes 20 that fact. Our Petersburg
contemporary. innocently enough, empha-
sizes the point made by The Times. But
for the free trade the New England work
men enjoy with the other States of the
Union. his wages would almost vanish.
What he wants is more free trade with all

The Nashville Sun suspended pnblica-
ton on December 22d.
As the Sun was one OF the most rabid
free silver papers Of the country we
might. if we were disposed to attempt
TO make political capital out Of the Incl
dent. declare that this suspension indi-
Gated the decline Of the free silver move
ment. But, in point of fact, the suspen-
sion Of the sun indicates nothing except
that in these days a newspaper cannot be
run on sentiment.
The Sun attempted to establish Itself by
catering 10 the free silver sentiment, and
bv constantly belaboring the Nashville
American. a well-established newspaper,
which chose to manage its own affairs ac-
cording to its own policy, regardless Of
the clamor Of those who were content
with nothing but hot stuff" 1t was
another case of trying to break down a
legitimate newspaper with a political or
gan, and with the usual result. The
Sun. after having wasted a barrel OF
money for its promoters. has set in OBJ
scurity, while the American goes right
along doing business at the old stand.
The field for a political organ in this
country is growing smaller and more un-

The Macon telegraph reproduces an ar
iicle from this paper on the good work
of the Georgia Legislature, IN which we
took occasion TO say that the Legislature
had distinguished itself by its failure to
pass any Populistic measure Gntagonistic
TO enterprise.
The Telegraph says that we should also
have given the body credit for what it did
do. That It added 100000 10 the common
school fund. reformed the prison system;
passed a bill, the effect OF which Will be
20 compel the Supreme Court Of the
United States accurately to define The
rights Of state banks in the issuance of
notes: established a textile department. IN

and passed other practical measures oil
the same character.
We note these facts with pleasure.
They simply add to the lustre OF the
Georgia Legislature. We thought IT
enough that the Legislature refused to
bow down to Populism, and it was That
which we emphasized as one Of the most
encouraging signs of the times.
The Telegraph adds that it is the dis
position of the people of Georgia TO give
enterprise a chance and to repudiate all
propositions which look to the confisca-
ton of capital. That during the session
of the Legislature the voice Of the dema-
gogue. crying out against corporations be-
cause they We're corporations. was I'M
heard. and that even the Populist mem
bers. TO their credit be it said. offered no
measures Of the Kansas pattern
We are glad of the opportunity again
TO call attention to this bit of good news
from Georgia for It Is significant and fun
Of comfort. We mus. inter from this that
Populism has nearly run its course in that
great state. and we accept this as sign
that Il Is on the wane elsewhere.

ENCOURAGEMENT FROM STANTON

As If 10 encourage the city OF Rich
mond to make the experiment. The
stanton News gives us 10 understand
that the ordinances in that city which
provides for working tramps on the
streets has had the effect to abate the
tramp nuisance.
The suggestion that the proposed anti
tramp ordinance before the Richmond
Council will be in some way hurtful to
honest workingmen seems TO us too alb
surd for serious consideration. Honest
workingmen are not tramps. We do not
deny that some few honest workingmen

employment. but these are the exception
al cases and everybody knows that tho
proposed ordinanceeis not intended TO
reach that class. They can as easily
establish their character as any mer-
chant or banker. The sole purpose is to
keep out OF this community the profess
slonal tramp the vagabond who is too
lazy to work and who goes from city TO
city and from door 10 door, living upon
the bounty OF other people, meekly beg

money from defeneeless women and keep

1t is not the rich who suffer most from
this tramp nuisance The rich are not
only ably TO give. but their premises are
usually protected by servants when the
head Of the household is absent and the
tramp who visits the house OF the rich is
