THE JOURNALS FLOP.
MOST BRAZEN PROPOSITION
OF w. r. HEARST.
Would Abandon the Cause of Financial
Reform to Appease the Palmer. Buckner
Traitors - Eastern Democrats Over
whelmingly for BlmetalIism.

or course, the New York Journal,
while abandoning bimetallism, claims
that it Is working in the interests of
harmony and victory.
Upon what basis such a claim can
rest has not as yet been made appar-
ent. One thing alone has been alleged
by the Journal, and that is the neces-
sity Of democrats abandoning their de-
mand for the free coinage of silver at
ratio of 16 to l. In the Journals eyes
ratio of 30 to 1 would not be objec-
tionable, and such concession as that
simply adds the Journal to the list of
gold standard newspapers.
Attention has been called in these
columns to the result of the vote in the
electoral college, showing that the east
could not claim the right to dictate
policy, as its electoral vote in 1896 had
been unanimously republican.
Now, glance at the record of pop
ular sentiment, as expressed by the
vote Of the eastern states, will show
whether the Fusionists and Democrats
are in favor of bimetallism and ratio
of 1G to l, or of the Journals gold mo-
nometallism at any old ratio based on
the commercial value of silver. The
popular vote of the eastern states for
Bryan on the one hand and Palmer on
the other was as follows:
The Louisiana populist., 1898-03-04

This young man had no money, so he
gave himself, with all that that i'm
plies, to his country. He sacrificed low
ing sweethearts, friends, home, busi-
ness and all things both profitable or
pleasant. He shouldered his muSket
and went South to do and dare that our
country might live and that the Dec
laration of independence and our Con-
stitution might not become obsolete
rubbish. Can pen or tongue ever tell
what he suffered OF the long marches;
Of the lying under fire for weeks in the
trenches; OF the hunger, cold thirst
and heat; of the lonely perilous hours
on picket: the terrific charges: the
hellish fighting where his comrades
were left in piles. He was following
the stars and stripes. How he shouted
as he saw Old Glory pressing on to
victory! How his blood tingled as he
read in the papers the fulsome praise
of the boys in blue! He was one Of the
nations defenders. He was fighting.
for his country. He was earning the
gratitude Of coming generations. He
fought at Shiloh until bullet wound
in the shoulder laid him low. He spent
two months in hospital and rejoined
his regiment in time to fight for
months in front of the heights Of
Vicksburg. He yisked his life on
score of battle fields. He contracted
rheumatism from sleeping on the
steaming, blood-drenched ground. But
his patriotism never faltered. For all
this he received the muniflcent salary
of thirteen 35-cent dollars per month,
which was finally raised to $1& II he
had saved all this money till the "cruel
war" was over he might have had as
much as 5000. Just think Of it! He
might have got as much for his four
years service as his rich brother re-
ceived for interest, etc., in nearly four
fortnights! Then added to all this mu-
nificence and "paternalism" our gov
ernment has given him a pension of
$12 per month ever since 1890. Over
six whole years. Then it follows that
the old soldiers pension for a month
is nearly half that of the bondholder's
for day. Old soldier is worth in
wages and pension, neither having
been used, say $1,4O0. Yet the old SOL
dier dearly loves the bondholder. He
believes that the bondholder did pa
triotic thing when he loaned that $4O,-
900 to Uncle Sam. He never dreams
that the bondholder is a greater enemy
to the country than was the slave pow
er. But he is learning the truth now.
The slumbering form of justice has be-
gun to show signs Of awakening.

Cutting Down Wages.

Those who are on the ground take
a condemnatory view of the wage re-
duction in New England. No doubt
business for the cotton mills is bad;
no doubt the protection which fails to
protect is being practically condemned,
but must the wage workers be forced
to bear all the burdens? This is a
question which is attracting the at
tention of intelligent men in the east.
1t has been asked by the operatives and
1t is repeated by the press-at least,
that part OF the press which is not the
mere echo of plutocratic sentiments. In
discussing the matter the Boston Post
says:
If there ever was case in which a
cutdown from 10 per cent in the wages
OF labor was unjustifiable, it is the case
OF those cotton mills in New Bedford,
which have paid large dividends for
many years up to and including the
year 1897 just closed. Profits which
permit the payment of dividends of 6,
9, IL and even 16 per cent do not call
for reduction of the labor cost of
production"
But those profits have been converted
into the treasury of the mills. The
managers see before them dull period
OF business. Superintendents must
have salaries of $4,000 to $4,000 a
year. How are they to get them if the
wage Of the operatives Is not reduced :?
However, the Post fails to see it in that
light, and says, with much emphasis:
"The managers of these great and pros
porous New Bedford mill corporations
are this time clearly In the wrong,
whatever may be said about the situ-
alton elsewhere. They have the sup
port neither of the business community
of New Bedford, nor of the public at
large, nor, as appears more clearly
from day to day, of many of their own
stockholders, and even directors" In
the meantime, however, the workmen's
wages have been cut and q strike is on.

Wolcott's Report.

Senator E. o. Wolcott's unofficial re-
port concerning the transactions Of the
bimetallic commission, which he gave
to the senate, contains nothing new 80
far as facts are concerned. 1t Is EVIL
dent that the chairman of the bimetal-
lie commission has not abandoned all
hope of securing an international
agreement looking to an enlarged use
Of silver as money, but he expresses
the opinion that England Is firmly fixed
in her opposition. Exonerating Pres
ident Mckinley from the charge Of dis
loyalty to the bimetallic cause, Senator
Wolcott is inclined to criticize the ac-
tions Of Secretary Gage, against whom
he has declared war, and for whom he
has no kindly words. With sarcastic
emphasis Wolcott suggests that 1t Is
premature to discuss the secretary OF
the treasury's Republicanism, as
Cages advent into the party and the
cabinet were contemporaneous." While
declaring that bimetallism is not dead,
either in the United States or In Eu-
rope, Senator Wolcott is prepared to
make concessions as to the ratio Of the
coinage in order to bring 1t to that
now accepted by Russia, Austria and
India.
This is the most significant utter
ance in the entire report, and will
cause the widest discussion.
The Louisiana populist., 1898-03-04

In an interval of Mr.. Butterworth's
public service he was creditably asso-
clated with the Columbian exposition,
first as secretary and afterward as So
licitor. He was painstaking, thorough
and at the same time unfailingly af-
fable. Some years ago he was a men,
Der from the house Of representatives
OF the board of visitors at West Point
and discharged the duties of the place
as laboriously and conscientiously as
though the duties OF that board were
OF the utmost moment instead of being
as they are, in fact, perfunctory and
pleasant incident.
Mr.. Butterworth's fatal illness is
traceable to his activity in the New
York campaign which terminated so
disastrously to Gen. Tracy and the
Platt machine. While commissioner
OF patents he entered the canvass bear
Ing message from the President Of
the United States to the Republicans
OF Greater New York, which he deliv-
cred publicly. 1t was that the Presi!-
dent was profoundly interested in the
outcome, desiring above all things Re-
publican success. There was no with
drawal by Mckinley OF these words,
Dut some of McKinley's friends en-
deavored to represent Butterworth in
a role entirely foreign to him-that of
a busybody who was speaking without
authority. Mr.. Butterworth would never
have publicly stated that the President
had told him that he earnest desired
Tracy's success if such message had
not been intrusted to him. He labor
ed in that campaign under the humili-
alton of partial repudiation of himself
and before it's close went heavy-heart-
ed to Ohio, where he still further la
bored in the Republican cause. At
Cleveland he was stricken with pneu-
monia. which was the precursor of his
death.
Butterworth, kindly, earnest,
truthful man, was in sense a
victim of his zeal for Mckinley and
the treachery of McKinley's friends,
who were anxious that he should not
be identified, as Butterworth on un-
doubted authority had identified him,
with Platt's canvass in New York.
