THE NEW ENGLAND ERurr1or.


Away off in the northeastern part of
this country lives man whose name is
MIR. Nelson DingIey and that man is
full of worry, trouble and anxiety for
divers reasons. In the first place he is
author of tariff measure enacted into
law at the extraordinary session called
by President Mckinley, in the spring
OF 1897; and IN the second instance the
New England states are now in turmoil
on account of al unparalleled strike in
the big cotton mills and thousands of
idle people are crying aloud for bread.
All this has been brought about by rea-
son of a sweeping reduction of wag es
on Jan. 1, 1898. Before that time the
average wage paid male laborers was
So per week. 1t is now red uced to
about So. Some have submitted to the
reduction but many have not.
AS we stated, this condition of affairs
in his own front yard has caused no lit
tie amount of trouble to Mr.. Dingley
When he was reminded of the effects OF
the law which bears his name, In his
own locality he grew pale about the gills
but soon put forth the old stale. wormy
chestnut about overproduction of the
cotton crop in the south. This answer
will not satisfy the average American
citizen. The wheels of industry, we
were assured, would be In constant
motion, wages would be increased, la.
borers would be happy, producers would
reap their reward and benign Provi-
dence and republican congress and
administration would shower blessings
on all mankind. But on the heels of
DiDgley's republican pet measure fol-
lows disaster, misery and uprising, in
his own midst, and instead of honestly
acknowledging that the tariff is not a
panacea for the country'S ills, he as
cribes it to overproductlon. Mr.. Ding
ley's departure is not new one in
American politics: we have heard it at
numerous times from one to a score of
years ago, but in each and every in
stance it has been proved absolutely
false. Tell Us not that there is an ov-
reproduction of cotton in this land
when we see half-clad and naked men
women and children in every city on ev-
cry hilltop and in every vale inAmerica
The excuse won't pass muster. The
republican party is disappointment
and the theory advanced by the opposi-
ton that it deceived the American peo-
pie and obtained votes under false pre-
lenses has been proved in the course of
natural events. Though often deceiv-
ed and betrayed, the people Will yet be
forced TO the real remedy.

The Medicine Lodge Cresset is ex-
cited because meetings are being held
in the school houses of the county to
discuss and study socialism, and it
warns the republicans to beware of
this new Populist scheme to inveighIe
and lead astray the republican lambs.
1t warns them that socialism is taking
well among the miners and that it will
draw the farmers and city people un-
less something is done to check it. 1t
then proceeds to explain what this
dangerous theory is in the following
words:
The theory of socialism is that all individ-
nal members of the state or nation shall
share alike; that the strong shall labor for
the rich; that everything shall be owned in
common and that there shall be no rich OF
poor; that government shall be by law, but
that officials simply execute the laws and
enjoy no salaries or privileges above those
of the lowest citizen.
Say, amt that intelligence for you?
There are to be no rich or poor and yet
the strong are to work for the richl
How those who have ever read a work
on socialism must laugh In their sleeves
at this modern philosopher. In the
language of Lord Dundreary, ''Some
people are asses and don't know it,
Some friend should direct Axline's at
tentlon to the page in his dictionary on
which the word may be found.-Ap.

CLIP the following pointed para
graph from the Journal of Industry, a
democratic exchange: HAS there ever
been, and can there ever be, a full legal
tender silver dollar worth less than 9TH
er dollars in clrculationg No, for the
reason that full legal tender silver
dollar will pay the same taxes and dis
charge the same amount of debts as
any other dollar in circulation. If not
why not?p And this l would add: Has
there ever been, and can there eyer be,
a full legal tender paper dollar worth
less than other dollars for circulation?
You are bound to answer No. from
the reasons quoted above in connection
with silver. Then if you are right and
am right, what IN the name of COM
mon sense is the use of digging up six
~ cents worth of silver to make dol
lar that could be made just as good and
just as sound with paper? Deny the
power to create power by law and your
silver cause falls in defeat; admit it.

The question which should agitat g
the minds of Populists in Barber coun
ty should be how to get themselves to-
gether and keep together. AS long as
the Populists, themselves, are divided
it is folly to discuss the question of fu.
sion with other parties. With our
forces divided as hopelessly as they
were last fall no fusion could result in
victory. AS long as one half of the
Populists are at war with the other
half there can be no successful cam
paign, and 1t is therefore far more i'm
portant that Populists get into line
than democrats. Laying plans for fu-
sion at this time only widens the
breach, and unless Populists can come
to an understanding among themselves
there is no use of undertaking to settle
the less difficult question as to how to
get the democrats into line. Go to
work, boys, and let's have harmony in
the party before we attempt to do any
thing else.

ELECT SENATORS By DIRECT VOTE.

Nv. A. PelTer.l
The proceedings connected with the
election of Mr.. Hanna last week by the
legislature of Ohio furnish additional
arguments in favor of the Popullst doc
trjne that United States senators ought
to be chosen by direct vote of the peo-
pie.
Mr.. Hanna has no special talent for
Legislative work, he has no inclination
that way. Like most of his class who
have gone to the senate, he intends to
make the Office an honorable attach
ment to a private business. That he
has been successful in the matter of
accommodating wealth everybody under
stands, and that he is a good neighbor
and citizen we may. all concede; but
that he is in any way equipped for the
work of statecraft, or that his ambition
is in that direction, nobody believes.
His election is merely payment of serv.
ices in the management of an election
campaign in which he distinguished
himself as party boss. Mr.. Hanna,
judging him by what he has done-just
as tree may be judged by It's fruit
belongs to the Huntington class, as
ready to buy men-legislators, jurists
and pii@sts-as is to trade for ting
right fwayI.x railroad OF harbor
foo ships.
Men sometimes talk about the stand
ard of the senate and Of senators.
Where will Mr.. Hanna rank? By what
standard will he be measured? Put
him beside Ewing, Corwin, Wade, Sher-
man and Thurman, and how high is he?
But note his conduct in the matter of
his election. The senate was in session
at the time. His post OF duty was at
the seat of government. Afraid to
trust the members of the legislature in
his absence he goes not only from
Washington but from his own home,
and camps with the men who are to
elect his successor; and all this, too,
when his own party is in power and eY-
cry man in the country knows Mr.. Han
ma wants to be his OWL successor.
Then note what the members of the
Legislature did, and the people-the SEN
ator's party friends-what they did.
Rebellion, treason, bribery, passed from
mouth to mouth as fiippantly as a ball
tossed from hand to hand by boys in the
beginning of game. III feeling was
engendered that will not die during the
lifetime of Marcus A. Hanna. Obliga-
tons were incurred that can never be
paid with honors by the debtors.
These things and more. Had the
election been by popular vote all scan
dial would have been avoided and the
people would have had the man they
voted for.
