The Truth of the Matter.

From The Houston. Tex. Post
The Atlanta Constitution does not permit
these significant admissions from the east
ern goldbug prsss to pass unnoticed, but
replies as follows:
How many weary months ago was Il
that he Constitution told its readers tnaJ
If We he'd the European standard OF Nd4ue
we must inevitably have the European
standard of wages? The two are insepa-
rable We warned the workingmen OF
the country during the Iast campaign that
they were voting for pauper wages Ior
those that could find employment a. all
and voting into idleness thousands upon
thousands of honest men ana women Ana

vote their wages down TO the European
basis-down to the pauper basis.
So much for comment. how about the
facts? Since the election the wages of in
Vulnerable employees have been reduced
aud thousands of men have been let out
of employment. Immediately after the
election there was a short period of ac-
tivity. resulting from the necessity for
filling ante-electIon orders which had been
held back for political effect. Since tnen.
however. the dry rot has been working
slowly the standard of wages IS going
down. down 10 the European basis, and all
the tariffs that could be enacted under
the gold standard could not arrest the
downward trend. If we measure the value
of wheat or iron or cotton or the manu-
features of these commodities by the gold
standard il would be sheer folly to ina
CINE that there was any other means o.
measuring the value of the elements of
cost of these products, one of which-the

NEGROES BACK FROM LIBERIA
Man Who Carried Them Over Skipped
with Everything.

New York, June 2l.-Thirteen colored per-
sons, who formed part of the two hum
dred sent to Liberia by the international
Emigration Society in March. 1886. arrived
in this port today aboard the steamship
Liberia
They say that the scheme was a total
failure: that many of their number died
of starvation and fevers; that the society
did not fulfill the contract, and many MEM
bers of the expedition are stranded in Eng
land. unable 10 get back to their homes
The plan of the African colonization
scheme originated early in 1894 IN the mind
of Bishop Turner who was travelling IN
the south. il was formulated and carried
into effect by Jeremire MILAN. n y hite man.
of birmingham. Ala, who founded what
was known as the International Emigra-
ton Society.
1t was claimed that the president of IL
IBERIA had promised the colonsts the land
and farming implements. The advance
guard In charge of ID. l.. Johnson. an In
telligent colored man, of Hot Springs. Ark,
in November. 1894. started for Liberia.
With him was a committee TO make ar
rangements for the colonists. II was es-
timated at that time that there were four
thousand colored persons who were ready
to join the colony. They expected TO build
a town which would soon be in flourish
ing condition. Each colonist was to pay
81 for his transportation and was expected
to have $500 in gold with which TO begin
life in the new land.
The first large party of colonists. num-
boring go left Savannah. Ga, in March,
1925 for their new home. and after that
several smaller parties joined them. Twen-
ty-fivc acres OF land for each adulJ and ten
acres for each child was promised, and on
landing each person was to be provided
with a barrel OF -four. two barrels of meat.
a quantity Of sugar and complete set of
farming implements.
y. ~ Flanimcr. of the society, accom-
panied the emigrauts. According to the
stories told by those WHO have returned
today when they landed in Liberia. Flam-
mer deserted them. taking whatever was
provided for them except the land, which
they found thirty-fivc miles from any town,
and which was incapable of growing any
thing but coffee. Even the growth of that,
if successful, would take from four 10
