The southern Industries have not
been backward in presenting their
claims before the ways and means
commission, for adequate protection,
and yet that same south will march
solidly to the polls on every and any
occasion and vote solidly against the
party that alone has ever put a pro-
tective tariff on the statute book. Not
only so, but the papers of every city
in that same south, almost without
exception, will fight tooth and nail
to defeat protective candidates and
policies. For such Inconsistencies
there is no adequate appelation. 1t is
matter of congratulation for the rice
and sugar men, that southern policies
no longer prevail.

The new law in New York state
against convict labor has thrown
many of the inmates of Sing Sing out
of work, and their enforced iIleEess
is working sadly upon their mental

lancholy state of mind, and on the
whole the new order of things is not

There is disposition on the part of
the trainers of thee harter of Greater
New York TO curtail the powers of the
mayor, at least in the direction of the
police forces of the city. The latest
suggestion is TO have him act in con-
junction with the police commission
ers, and it is proposed to make his
action with majority of the police
board potent in removing the chief.
1t really places the determining pow
er in cases of dead lock among the
police board in the hands of the may
or. What changes will be made be-
fore the charter is ready for adoption
however, is one of those things that
battles the closest judgment. That
charter is not yet made.

United States Department of Agri-
culture is out in pamphlet, entitled
"Irhe Farmers Interest in Statistics"
in which the attempt is TO show that
the country is about evenly divided
between the free and unlimited sill
yer coinage idea. and that of a sound
money standard. The attempt is
failure, for the populations of the
sound money standard states aggre-
gate 39,624.035, while the free silver
state populations aggregate 22,492,-
40. Illiteracy is 6 per cent in the
gold states, over IL per cent in the
free silver states. School eXpendi-
lures are S2.71 per capita in the gold
standard states; only S1.3T in the sill
yer states. There is nothing in the
statistics of the showing to commend
the free silver side of the argument,
so far as taken from the statistics, to
any fair minded person. The more
the tables are studied the more so this
appears. Sound money and sound
business and sound sense seem TO be
inseparably married and wisdom will
justify the conclusion that they can
not be divorced without ruinous re-
suits.
