Carnegie confesses.

1t is an old trick of the defenders
of Dingleyism to print comparative
tables of wages here and abroad
The wages here are thus shown to
be higher, much higher, and there
you are. 1t has been repeatedly
pointed out that it is not the wage
rate per man, but the wage cost per
unit of product that should be taken
as the basis of a just equalization,
if equalization be necessary. Ways
and means committees have paid
no more attention to that exposi-
ton than to the idle wind. To Mr..
Carnegie they must pay attention
because he speaks with full knowl-
edge, and he gives away the game
Not a ton of steel is produced in
the world at as small an outlay for
labor as in our coutry," he says.
That statement explodes with the
force of dynamite under the very
cornerstone of protectionist edifice.
Not only that, but coal and iron
ores are cheaper here, because of
what Mr.. Carnegie calls the stand
ardization of our mills the enor-
nous output making it possible to
keep the machinery at work upon
uniform shapes for weeks without
change of rolls, a further reduction
of producing cost is effected. 9th
er witnesses and the testimony OF
the trade corroborate Mr.. Carnegie

A Busy Democracy.

Democracy in Tennessee is doing
its duty. More money is being APP
piled to education than ever before
and the schools are of a higher
grade and more efficient. More
money is being spent for the instruc-
ton and benefit of the tillers of the
soil than ever before. More money
is being paid to the INDECENT but
heroic survivors of the thin gray
line than ever before. More money
is being spent on asylums and kin
dred institutions than ever before.
More money is being applied to the
extinguishment of the debt than
ever before. All this is being &C
complished without a cent of in.
crease in the property tax rate. --

Two Billion!

Hints from Washington tell us
that the next appropriations will
hike away up close to the two bill
lion mark. We all remember the
Juror raised the country over, few
years ago, when the amount reach
ed a billion.
The nation grows. It's popula-
ton advances and the needs Great
ed by civilization become more nu-
merous. When we became a world
power we had occasion for greater
navy-navies cost money. When
we began to talk about the Panama
canal, we started a large expense
account that promises to grow.
But, to paraphrase the late
Thomas Bracket Reed of Maine
once Speaker Of the House, this is
two billion dollar country. Who
cares how much cash we spend il
we have it and get our moneys
worth? i St. Louis Times,

ONE TOE
Lost. One Watch Charm Gained.
That Would Take The Kinks
From Africa's Head.

Some time since the Democrat
chronicled as news item, the am
putation and the why of the am
putation of Arthur Ely's middle toe
of the left foot.
Today he is minus one toe and
sports piece of jewelry such as is
owned by no other man on earth.
After the toe was amputated it
was treated so it will in a slnart
time dry up and harden. At pres
ent it is like a piece of white rub
Der with a dark stick, the bone,
sticking out of the amputated end
and a gold ring in the bone.
He took the toe to Dimmitt the
jeweler, who under instructions
mounted the toe in such manner
that when it hardens Mr.. Ely can
use it for the purpose for which he
had it mounted, watch charm.
1t will be immensely odd and at
the same time a wee bit gruesome,
and you can bet no Afro-American
will bother that watch as long as
that toe stands or hangs guard over
