The Southern and the Public.

A writer in the Charlotte Observer
Of Monday pointed out that, while
the Southern Railway had been hav-
ing "A tough time, and had not been
treated right it was irresponsible for
nearly all OF it's own troubles by act
ing in a picayunish way with the gen.
eral public. Subordinate officers are
too often discOurteOus and in carry
ing out some fool ruling to make a
few dollars for the road, loses thou
sands in damage suits by the same
act"
An instance is cited OF this short
sightednrss. Travellers coming out
of Washington city have been in the
habit of buying tickets from that
place to Alexandria. Va, and then
buy one to Danville, at 2 cents
per mile, which is the legal rate in
Virginia, thus saving considerable
money; but the order has gone forth
that no tickets must be sold from
Washington to Alexandria on any
through train on the ground that
such train does not stop, and passen-
gers for the South are thus forced to
pay the Interstate rate OF 3h cents
per mile. The trains do stop, how
ever, as many as seven diffrent times
between Washington and Charlotts-
vile, and each passenger pays over
I S125 which he might save.
Such small things as this, "
concludes the correspondent, lis
what has caused the people along
the line of the Southern Railway to
be so bitter

A Caution to Politicians.

What a God-seutl prohibition and
the railroad rate question have been
to the politicians. Just suppose these
two questions had not been raised
on what issues could the Senatorial
and other political questions have
been waged for the balance of this
year?
Some politicians would have been
without any ammunition whatever.
AS it is, it looks like the powder some
of them are using is too strong for
the weight of their guns and there is
danger of the breech block blowing
out if they undertake to fire their
guns too rapidly Unless the gun is
properly constructed and the ammu-
milton carefully regulated there is
often as much danger to the imam
behind the gun" as to the one it is
pointed at when the trigger is pulled
There should be discretion in the
kind of gun used and in the manner
of loading. as we'll There is a tradi-
ton that when the discOverers of gun

using it for the destruction of their
enemies that the results were as de-
structIve to the users as to the per-

Bunkoins the Wage Garner.

The way the Republican party has
been good to the wage Garner, with its
Dingley tariff, is neatly illustrated in a
bulletin of the Bureau of Labor from
which it is cleaned that whilei the ave-
rage of wages in 1907 was some 20
per cent higher than the average in
any year from 1890 to 1907, the average
price of food was also higher in 1907
than in any year of that period. and
nearly 81 per cent higher than the ave-
rage of the ten-year period from 1890
TO 1899, inclusive
That is to say, all that the wage
Garner gained in pay through Dingley-
ism was taken away from him by the
increased cost of victuals which went
along with the get-rich-quick prosperity
which the Republican party brought in
with the Dingley tariff. The bulletin
is silent upon other items the cost of
living, but, if clothing be included,
along with house furnishings of all
sorts and other necesSaries, the cost of
living has been increased by nearly 81
per cent since Mark Hanna invited the
protected industries which had put
up" for McKinley's first election, to
write their own schedules in the Ding
ley act.

this bulletin try to cipher it out that

Effect of Tariff PrOfecfiOn

When four years ago the Democrats
predicted that the high tariff would
beget panic instead of prosperity and
that Republican policies would pro-
duce business depression in place of
welfare and happiness, the whole pack
from Roosevelt to the littlest spell
binder of them all pointed with pride
etc, to the achievements OF the G. o.
p But the panic came and the BUSH
ness depression still continues, al
though our Republican friends are
trying to make us believe that it all
has been but little financial fur
ry."
When we come to consider what eff
feet this exaggerated tariff protection
has had upon the industrial condition
in this country, how far it has pro-
duced prosperity. to what extent it is
responsible for the perils which now
confront us, and which have involved
the industrial system of this country
In confusion, if not in paralysis. no
wonder our Republican friends change
front and instead of standing pat are
now promising tariff revision. The
Republicans still boast of the pros
perity which they have produced in
this country. but no zeal prosperity has
existed. 1t was sham and not genu-
ire. and the first breath of adversely
has blown down the whole fabric like
a breath demoliShes the child's house
built of cards.
Not that there has been no prosper
ity, far from it, The too prosperous
trusts have fiourished amazingly. but
it was not the well doing thar comes
from successful labor. but the fortune
produced by successful plumber. The
few have become millionaires and the
many have just contrived to live. and
but few of them TO save. Such are the
fruits of protection. High prices for
speculative securities and watered
stock doled out to gullible victims is
the Republican conception OF prosper
ify. and that is the only kind CT pros
perity they have ever shown in the
long years they have controlled the
government.
Now, the Democratic notion of pros
perity-real prosperity-colIsists in
the abundance 81 commodities fairly
distributed among those Vac produce
them. 1t means more ho@ses. larger
and more commodious roopss with
healthier people dwelling in theni; it
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1908-09-01

means warmer clothing, covering
stronger and more healthy limbs; more
abundant food of better quality, more
shoes and more of everything in the
nature of comfort that man can use
more books, higher wages and shorter
hours, more leisure to enjoy what in
creased earnings can buy. This alone
is what Democrats mean by prosper
ity, and this alone is a prosperity
which is genuine.
Now, how is that prosperity to be
reached, how are things available for
the comfort of man to be reached?
Can Theodore Roosevelt. or Taft,
produce dollars worth of such
things? Can the whole Republican
party ensure the farmers good crops
although it impiously claims to be
allied with Omnipotence? Have any
of them, great or small, or all COM
bined as the government, the capacity
to increase anything ON the face of the
earth? They have shown themselves
to possess the power of spending, so
much so that with the end of the fiscal
year at hand there is a deficiency of
revenue to meet their expenditures
of S60,000,000. But it requires the
farmer and the laborer to produce
for the trusts, aided by the politicians
to 0issipate. The Republican national
platfrom ascribes in fulsome terms all
the benefits that any of us have been
fortunate enough to receive to our
most exalted servant Theodore
Roosevelt, and then bOastfully de-

sunshine gathering the pale gray rose
mary bloom and the perfumed thyme
which grow among those hollows and
hillocks in such wild luxuriance. They
were sauntering near the carriage road
talking very little-she feeble and tired
although it was her own fancy to have
walked so far-when they saw a car
riage driving toward them-a large lam
dau, with the usual bony horses and
shabby jingling harness, and the usual
sunburnt, good-tempered driver
Two girls in white gowns and Leghorn
hats were in the carriage, with an elderly
woman in black. Their laps were full of
wild flowers, and branches of wild cherry
and pear blossom filled the leather hood
at the back of the carriage.
Della Darcy, the elder and handsomer
of the two. leaned over the carriage door
to shake hands with George Ransome,
while Vivien stood aloof, on a grassy
knoll above the road, looking daggers.
What right had they to stop their car
riage and waylay her husband?
Mrs. Ransome bowed stifly, but did
not move an inch. She stood picking a
branch of rosemary to shreds with nerv-
Gus, restless fingers, scattering the poor
pale blue-gray blossoms as if she were
sprinkling them upon corpse. The two
girls took no further notice of her, but
both bent forward, talking to Ransome,
rafting on about this ball and the other
ball, and a breakfast, and Sunday after
noon teas, and the goings-on-audacious
for the most part-of all the smart peo-
pie at Nice. He listened almost in 81
lence, giving their loquacity no more en-
enlargement than good manners obliged.
