"THE CONVENTION AND THE CON-
STlTUTlON."

Ex-Governor Charles Z. O'Ferrall has
been wiring series of communications to
the Rici nvnd Times upon the constitu'
tional con,entlon Ia bis first commuDi
cation be held that the calling ola con-
vention IL make IA new constitution was
entirely unnecessary, and defends the
present constitution, which he pronounces
a good one, except in some unimportant
particulars. The necessary changes, be
claims, should have been made by sub
hitting amendments to the people. Gov
ernor O'terrall says:
81 did Eot favor the calling of a con-
yentiou. have never sympathized with
the denu"ciation which has been frequent
ly heap1d upon the present constitution; l
have ney er been able to gee in it the evils
that Others have seen; l have never OBJ
served the wrongs in it that others have
declared 1t is in large part the same
constitution that was framed by the con-
vention Of 1851"
He then proceeds to show the impor-
tant changes that were made in the con-
stitution of 1851, none of which can be
pronounced injurious, and most OF which
changes are good. The recognition OF the
colored man as a voter, 'was simply put
ting into effecl the fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments of the Constitution OF the
United States and which were Sc
ouences of the war between the States. !"
He then says: with this statement of
facts, can it be successfully charged that
we are living under an ubiquitous consti-
tution. What is there in it that is in.
iouitous or abominable?"
These views of Governor O'Ferrall are
not calculated to make him very popular
with altra Democrats.

The sunflower is overlooked as a
crop in this country. 1t will produce
rs many bushels OF seed as corn, and
a bushel of seed will produce about
gallon of oil. The residuum is equal
TO linseed meal for stock. The flowers
are worked upon by bees, and the
stalks make excellent fuel. The leaves
are said to be cured and used as fill
ers in cigars, and the seed can be
GROUND into meal from which bread
may be made, and are also excellent
when fed whole to poultry.

THE gratifying intelligence comes from
the hard coal regions of Pennsylvania that
the threatened strike of $4,000 miners
will not take place. A strike would bring
a great amount of suffering and misery to
the miners and their families, and without
securing any future, sufficient compensa-
lion. 1t would be a great blessing if
strikes could be prevented entirely, and
some means found of settling differences
between employers and the employed with
out work being suspended.

EUROPE is OUR FOE.
GOVERNMENT PREPARING FOR
A TRADE WAR AGAINST US.


The signs have been many during
the past few years that the great pow
ers Of Europe are contemplating a
trade war against us, The commercial
prosperity and, 1t may be added su-
premacy Of the United States have
been gained to great extent at the
expense Of Europe and now the old
world countries, in hope Of retaining
their dwlndling commerce, are prepar-
ing for trade war, This is the view
taken by Frank s. Vanderlip, former
assistant secretary Of the Treasury,
who has just returned to Washington
after an exhaustive study Of Europe
and after extended interviews with its
loading men,
Possibly" says Mr.. Vanderlip, "the
religious feeling of more, than a half
century ago which prompted the Holy
Alliance under the manipulation of the
crafty Metternich was more bitter
against us than Is the feeling Of COM
merclal rivalry today, but / doubt 1t.
II the whole of Europe had been back
Of the Holy Alliance as the whole of
Europe is now back Of the feeling that
the old worlds trade supremacy is seri-
ously menaced undoubtedly we would
have had trouble when we proclaimed
boldly our Monroe doctrine as def
ance to European aggression in this
hemisphere. But 1t is extremely dubi-
ous, however, that religious feeling is
ever so powerful cement among dis
tressed nations as is the stern reaiza-
tion that commerce is slipping away

Would he spend millions every

Would he pay rent and clerk hire for

Would he keep $4,000 drummers

Would he give away franchises and

Would he let individuals run his

Would he let them manage his fac.

Would he let them take his own

A DANGEROUS DECISION.

Some years ago Chicago woman
was engaged in a labor strike. She
was no worse than all the others par
ticlpating in the same strike. After
the strike was over and peace was
declared she attempted to get work.
but could not do so, She applied to
firm after firm and always met the
same answer. Nobody would give her
employment. She could beg, steal or
starve, but she couldn't work. There
was no way by which she could make
an honest living. She had been black
listed The decree had gone forth that
no employer should give that woman
o job. A brand had been set on her
brow. She was a paraiah among the
people-helpless and homeless. She
was like Cain, fugitive and vaga-
bond on the face Of the earth.
In her dire extremity she was in
duced to sue the cowardly scoundrels
who blacklisted her. She proved her
case all right, There was no question
about the facts, Everything was es-
tablished as above set forth. But the
court decided that employers had a
right TO blacklist employees and pre-
vent them from getting work else
where. 1t practically decided that
slavery still exists in America. Not
the mild kind Of slavery that existed
in the south before the war, but n
condition a thousand times more ter

THE TRUSTS MUST BE PRO-
TECTEp.

Wilbur f, Wakeman is secretary OF
the American Protective League, and
as such is of course opposed to the
entry of any foreign goods into this
country that would compete with our
trust made products. He also, by the
grace Of the President and the Repub-
lican majority Of the Senate, holds
the important office OF appraiser Of
merchandise Of the port Of New York,
This occupation Of these two ofllces
by the same person accounts for tho
universal ruling Of the appraiser
against the importers Of foreign goods
and the stretching of tho tariff law, al
most to the breaking point to make
such goods subject to the highest duty
that can be assessed against them.
That Mr., Wakeman is most active In
this matter and more intent on lobby
ing to prevent q revision of the tariff
and to protect the trusts from COM
petition than he is in fairly carrying
out the law, will be seen from the fol-
lowing interview: Speaking of the
threat Of certain Republicans to sup.
port the Babcock movement to place
trust made articles on the free list,
Mr.. Wakeman says, the league will
make strong fight against any emas.
culatlon Of the protective tariff sys.
tenn. I'VE do not PROPOSE" said he,
TO allow the system to be used as q
stalking horse for the purpose of doing
work which should be done by state
legislatures. These bodies have the
power to deal with trusts doing busi-
ness within the borders of their states.
Let them apply the remedy"
That's it. No national legislation
against the trusts, they are, to quote
Hanna, good things and must not be
disturbed.

European statesmen and ananciers
