TILLNAN'S PEA.

The managers OF the Democratic national
campaign recently sent Senator Tillman to Chi
caco 10 address the workers In the stockyards
Tillman was thought 10 be a good card there
because the men were supposed to have griev-
ance against negroes, since negroes had been
employed in the stockyards at the time Of the
strike, and nobody was so well fitted 70 fre
the heart on the race issue as the South Carolina
gentleman with the pitchfork.
Tinman did not find it easy to deal with the
stockyards people. They were keen. intelligent
men, who asked troublesome questions. They
wanted 10 know why they should take him for
an adviser when he had never shown any In
terest in the right advancement Of mankind
Tillman did not like to consider the issues they
wanted discussed, and kept returning 10 the
negro question. He asked the men If they
stood for the equality of the races. They said
they did so far as equality OF wages went. and
Tillman protested that they could not stand
upon one platform and not upon the other That
Is. white supremacy" in his lexicon means not
only political discrimination but industrial dis
elimination as well. The negro must not re-
ceive as much white man for the same
work, even If he is allowed to do it, That is the
doctrine which the Democratic National Com
mittee has had preached in Chicago!
Senator Tillman tried TO stir up the stockyards
men by telling them how the packers had used
negroes 20 defeat their strike. The men were
not easily fooled They asked Won't they do
it just the same il Parker Is electedT' Tillman
answered: we of the South are willing to trust
Parker; certainly you ought TO be-
Just what did Senator Tillman mean by that?
We respectfully seek enlightenment from The
New-York Evening Post" which is at once
friend Of Judge Parker and OF the negro. 1t Is
so divided between the claims Of the two charm
ers that, though it made on personal measure
ment Of Judge Parker the coat. Can any man
named as our next President agree TO such
local notification Of national laws? If he can
'he is not ht to he President next year or any
year it cannot bring itself to put that per-
feet fitting garment upon him. 1t fits so much
like the paper on the wall that il might make
the Judge uncomfortable AS friend of both
what does it think Tilmans statement means
as 10 Parker's relations to negro rights? What
is the South trusting him to do? And how we'll
founded is its trust? Is TilIman authorized to
give assurances that Parker will let the South
have what it wants; that is. "agree TO the local
nullifcation OF national laws? Is the South
buying a gold brick in Parker, so far as the
matter dearest its heart is concerned, and will
he refuse to "agree 10 the local notification Of
national laws" or Gre the friends OF the Consti-
tuition buying the gold brick? Is the South justi
fed in trusting Parker on the negro question as
Tillman says it does, and should the workers in
the stockyards support him. confident that If
elected he will see that avenues OF employment
are closed to the negro?

At WHAT MEN WORK.

table Of the division of labor in different
countries, published in the "Industrie Zeitung,"
or Berlin, presents some interesting facts and
offers some profitable suggestions Occupations
are divided into three classes-namely. agricuIt-
ure. horticulture and forestry; manufactures
and mining, and commerce and Transportation.
It Is interesting to observe that in the last
named class America leads all the world save
only Holland. With that one exception q larger
proportion OF our people are engaged in com
merce and transportation than of any other in
the world That is doubtless because Of the
enormous development of railroads in America.
Our percentage of men thus engaged is 163
while Hollands is 172, Englands is only 13
Germany's is 10.6 and Frances 94
In manufactures and mining America has a
comparatively low rank, her percentage being
only 24.l. Scotland leads all, with 6O.4. fol
lowed closely by England and Wales with 50 g
Germany has 37.4 and France 1876 Belgium
Holland and Switzerland also, Of course rank
nigh. each Of them having more than one-third
OF the working population thus engaged. In the
nrst class, OF agricultural and allied occupations.
America has a percentage OF $50, while Ger
many has 375, France 443, Austria and Hun
gary. respectively. $50 and 5s.6 and Italy 5o.4.

II our opponents came into power and ats

pines by giving them Independence, and witn-
drawing American control from the islands, tho

Mr.. HIGGINS'S SERVICES.
ReOrganizer of the State Finances

From The Binghamton Press UndependenO.
The Hon. Frank ". Higgins has done extremely
Well in his speech OF accepting the nomination.
He defends the executive and his adminfstra ton as
whole with hrmness and ability. and is especially
strong In showing what the party in its official
tax reduction and the general financing of the
state. RE points out that by increasing the eSCisa
dues and by enforcing the law for the taxation If
corporate franchises the revenues of the State have
increased from S6,CVON0 in 1854 nearly S2
In 1904, the direct burden upon the taxpayer being
reduced 10 sum comparatively insignificant
This feature of the Republican administration for
the decade mentioned is undoubtedly the strongest
argument that could be advanced q this iuuCture
for himself and the organiZa ton. and in dwelling at
length upon this point Mr.. Higgins exhibits sa-
eacity.
In this connection it Is proper to say. and indeed
the saying Is inevitable. that 20 Mr. Higgins per-
hapS more than % any other man the credit is due
for the reorganization OF the State finance system
which began ten years ago and the necessity for
which was imperative. \ loose and unbusiuesslike
way of doing things had prevailed at Albany. and
In setting the States affairs in order AIT Higgins
was probably the influential force. n not the
most conspicuous figure In the public eye.
