There Will Be a Howl.

Wages have been cut in the New Eng land factories, so that the average pay of operatives is now only s5.70 a week. It was $e.43. One who reads eastern papers might think that wages in the eastern mills were at least double the wages in southern mills, but the truth is they are in the average just $5.7O a week.
 The recent cut no wise changes the situation. It serves to show that cot ton manufacturing is about to slip away from New England, just as iron manufacturing did many years ago. Nothing can stop the change that is going on. The mills are going to the raw material D.ngleyism is impotent to stay the movement. It is beyond remedy.
 What then? New England will be- come the seat of money lords, the sum- mer resort of the entire country. No smoke will then obscure its clear air. No stacks will hide its wonderful seen cry Then lookout for squalls. Ding leyism will then come in for denuncia- tAons such as 1t does not receive, but deserves, today. Will New England silently accept a tariff devised to give western and southern manufacturers a chance to name their own prices? Not if New England knows Itself. There will be a howl against the villainy of protection the like of which was never before raised in this world. And yet do not the people elf the Old World pay the duty? It has been said they do.

The insolent power of corporations was the most potent factor In the election of Mark Hanna. Had he not been backed by the corrupt influences of the trusts MT. Hanna would not have received a single na had his just deserts he would be an in- mate of one of Ohio's largest institutions rather than occupying seat in the senate of the United States. MT. Hanna has for the past twenty years been engaged in the constant purchase of legislatures and city councils that he might fasten the power of his grasping trusts upon the earnings of the people who work for an honest living making them poorer and himself richer.

The democratic state committee will do well to grant to Birmingham the honor of being selected as the place for holding the forthcoming state convention.
The age-herald., 1898-01-14

If the frequent robberies in the residence portions of the cities continue much longer without any arrests of the perpetrators, 1t will develop into a necessity for every citi- zen to become an officer upon his own re- sponsibility. Birmingham is large enough to be well policed. If the present force is not large enough it should be increased. If the present force is not competent and not equal to the emergency. no time should be lost in making 1t what it should be. The police commission might do a good turn for the people who pay heavy taxes in undertaking to equip the city with a police force that will police the city as it should be.

 It is estimated that the corporations of Ohio paid more than S5OO.0O0 for a single seat in the United States senate, and that to be occupied by the most conspicuous brbe-giver in the United States-Marcus Aurelus Hanna. Such is the honor of those who seek to control the legislation of the nation.
