ItESULT OF TIlE WILSON
BILL,.
Attention has been called to
li ralstreet's report that uIlre than
1,000,000 indunitrial workers have
rirreilved volnitary advances ill
wages, avcr;lging 10 per cent,
within a couplle of months. A Re
puidlic 1n organ correctly says that
i -nttl,ig l1Le this has ever beftre
ot'-ee know n.'' It was not known
duri;g .Piesident IHarrisol'a ad
miii:;tr atio. It was not known
during the fur years the McKin
l'y law was in force. Wages were
nut gent'lally advaniced soon after
I that law ook effect-, nor at any
jtime before its r(.peal. Such a
;hing as a voluntary increase of
wages on a large scale was unheard
of udler that law. Reductions
were made in every part of the
country, but no advances at all of
consequence except a few resulting
from strikes.
The \Vilson bill was passed last
August. Sections of it went into
eft'ect soon afterwards and other
s-ctions later, some not until the
hi giliiug of 1895. It is worthy of
note that the upward movement
,if wages had its beginning in Sep
tentiiber and has been growing ever
since.
It began in the woolen miills
une of the results of the placing of
wivool on the fi'e list. It spread to
other textile industries and then
oceame general. As moon as the
winter was over reports of advan
ces in wages were received daily.
The list for April includes 67 in
which the increase was as much as
5 per cent. In all but six cases
the increase was 10 per cent or
over. In 10 it was 15 and in sev
eral others from 12 to 20 per cent.
In the case of the Cincinnati cloak
makers, where 4,000 persons were
cmuployed, an advance, of 25 per
cent was given. The wages of10,
000 brick manufacturers on the
fludson 1liver were increased from
10 to 25 per cent. One report for
April shows a 10 per cent increase
in the wages of 25,000 employees
and another a similar advance in
the pay of 24,000. These were all
miill hands in Massachusetts. One
of the 15 per cent advauces that
month affected 10,000 men in
Youngstown. O.
None of these employees are in
eluded in the 1,000,000 covered by
Bradsireet's report, which goes
bactt only a'couple of months.
The total number whose wages
have been increased since the Wil
-on bill took effect is probably not
far from 2.000,000. And a con
servative estimate places the aver
age advance at 10 per cent. For
every dollar received by these 2,
000,000 wage-earners utinder the
McKinley bill, $1.10 is received
ulmner the Wilson law. if their
aggregate monthly earnings a
mllounlted then to $100,000,000 a
montll-an average of $50 per man
-they amnout now to $110,000,000
-a clear gain of $10,000,000 a
month or $120,000,000 a year to
tlie wage earners of the country.
If the reduction of the tariff un
dler the Wilson bill has not been a
leading factor in this wage advan

VIE VICTIS.
It is only a question of time, and
of a very short time, when the
prolpositiou to open the mints otf
the United States to the free and
unlimited coinage of silver at the
ratio of 16 to 1, will not only peter
out in ignominious disgrace, but
when those public men who advo
cated it will ho remanded to 1)opu0
lar disfavor and distrust. There
is nothi|ng whatever to sustain the
proposition. It will not bear the
least analysis, either of tact or ar
guument. Where it is not a sharp
device of the silver mine owners to
bunco the unthinkiIg, it is a dazed
day-dream of the urthinking to
pay hundred-cent debts with fifty
cent dollars. Reduced to simple
pioportions and stripped of nmis
leading verbage, it (lemanads that
the people shall be taxed to sus
tain muints to be conducted for the
sole purpose of turning coffee-pots
and teaspoons and lump ore into
cart wheels labeled "one dollar,"
each cart wheel good in the civil
ized world, except in America, for
just one-half its acee value. The
plea for this monstrosity is a crazy
plea supported by distorted his
tory, bogus statistics and false
promises.
Siiver dollars are already a le
gal tender to any amount. There
are already in existence ten times
more silver dollars than the people
can or do handle-forty times
more than had been iu existence
prior to the act of 1873, discontin
uing the coinage of silver dollars.
The walls of the Treasury are
fairly bursting with silver dollars
and silver bullion the people do
not want and cannot use, yet whose
keep costs the taxpayets millions
of dollars.
If the scheme to melt down the
refuse silver of Christendom could
be a(lepted, it would not only con
vert America into a dumping
ground for all the tramp silver in
the world, but it would drive out
gold and relegate us to a silver
monometallism, with the value of
the dollar unit reduced one half.
It would not increase the volume
,of the currency.
It would diminish it.
It would not relieve any honest
debtor of his indebtedness. It
would, on the contrary, collapse
American credit abroad and des
troy business confidence at ho.ne.
It would, whilst disgracing the
Natioual honor, strike a blow at
tile National prosperity, fronm
which it would not recover in half
a century.
Already and everywhere the peo
ple are awakening to the stupen
dous delusion which has been
sough;t to be put upon them. The

SUFFICIENT CAUSE FOIR DIS
* MISSAL.
Every ruse possible under the
sun is being resorted to by certain
journals--whose Democracy is not
quite equal to their devotion -for
free silver-to discredit and cast
odium and reproach upon the ad
ministration of President Cleve
land. Even the removal of Miss
Key has been seized upon with
avidity by this class of journalists
and magnified from a small molte
hill into a very large mountain.
It appears to us that the reason
assigned by Secretary Hoke Smith
-a red ction of the clerical force
in the interest of retrenchment
and reform--ought to be accepted
by every reasonable person as a
sufficient justification for the dis
missal of this lady, even if she is,
as alleged -which fact, however,
is controverted-the grand daugh
ter of the author of the "Star
Spangled Banner." It is true that
it is the national anthem, the sing
ing of which, like the Marseillaise
in France, has always served to
arouse the martial spirit of our
people; but we cannot perceive
why that should entitle the lady in
question or any other descendant
of Francis Scott Key to draw pub
ulum from the public rack forever,
in preference to any other person,
especially as the chief cause as
signed for dismissal was that of
inefficiency.
'TEHAT ROAD.
The assurances that from time
to time Mr. Welch has held out to
the people of this Parish of the
early completion of the road he
has undertaken to build, have so
far failed to materialize. In truth
we are but little nearer the reali
zation than we were a little more
that twelve months ago, when Mr.
Welch assured the public, that
upon their voting a tax. of five
mills, he would complete the road
inside of four months. It is not to
be wondered at, therefore, in view
of Mr. Welch's dilatoriness that
the best friends of the road have
pretty much all lost faith in the
success of the enterprise, and that
the Police Jury of the Parish, at
its recent session, have, by resolu
tion, directed the Collector of tax
es not to enforce the collection ci
the five mill tax until the read was
completed.
This argues very badly for Mr.
Welch, for it indicates most clear
ly, that the ipublic have come to
doubt most seriously his ability to
build the road. If Mr. Welch has
any real backing behind him, the
course he is now pursuing cannot
be accounted for on any rational
hypothesis, and yet lie insists, and
has insisted all along, that he has
the-money to put the road through.
If he has, then why doesahe not
push the work firward. Why
does he permit, at this the most
propitious season of the year for
building a road, his hands to dis
band and all his work to cease?
Does he expect In this way to take
off the crop of 1895 as he promiaed
to do ? We are aware Mr. Welch
has undertaken in one way or an-.
other, to explain this untoward
condition of things, but his expla
nations have imposed upon no one.
The truth is, that the peopleof
this Parish, are all but unanimous
in the opinion thpt Mr. Welch has
not the money to build the road,
that he never has had it and more
over we believe that he cannot get
it, nor that he is ever likely to get
it. We dislike to - record these
facts, in view of the solemn assur
ance Mr. Welch has repeatedly
given to prominent gentlemen of
the Parish, both before and since
the voting of the tax, that he had
the means to equip the road. Hlow
Mr. Welch is to answer to these
gentlemen, we know not. We
hope he may be able to do it 1by
putting the road through within
contract time. lut we seriously
doubt it.--jlarksville New Entcr

BALLOT RCEFORMI CONVEN
TION.
The ballot reform convention
which met; in New Orleans last
Saturday, was composed of repre
sentatives from seven parishes and
seventeen wards of the city. The
St. Landry delegation being op
posed to the suffrage amendment,
did not vote upon the resolutions,
which were adopted as follows:
This convention recognizes that
the purity, freedom and secrecy of
the ballot and the integrity of the
count of the votes lies at the very
foundation of our Democratic gov.
vernment, favors a qualification of
the suffrage, so as to elevate the
character of the electoral body, and
to climate as far as practicable the
unfit, the ignorant and the vicious,
and at the same time to so amend
our election laws, methods and
practices as to secure the freedom,
purity, secrecy and independence
of the ballot, and absolutely cor
rect count and return of the votes
as actually cast by legal voters.
We, therefore, as an organiza
tion, urge upon our fellow-citizens
of Louisiana, the ratification of the
proposed amendment to Article
185 of the Constitution. It does
not qualify the suffrage in the ex.
act manner we desire, but it is a
big step in the right direction and
opens the door . wide for better
things.
We advocate the adoption of the
Australian ballot law as proposed
by the Ballot Reform League of
Louisiana, as the best method yet
discovered to secure a secret, un
bought and independent ballot,
and we urnge the people to elect to
the next legislature men pledged
to the support of that measure.
We are organized neither to
favor or oppose the nomination
and election of any particular can
didate for any office. All person
al ambition should be subordina
ted to the great end in view; and
the candidates for Governor and
members of the Legislature should
be the fittest exponents of the
principles of the League, and ex
pressly pledged to its measures.
Under existing conditions in
Louisiana, we can to day only hope
for success in carrying our measu
res through by means of the Dem
ocratic party. The usefulness and
maintenance of that party depends
upon its adopting our measures
and policy. We therefore urge
that all good citizens to join our
League and extend its numbers
and influence in every parish and
ward precinct. That the League
actively endeavor to elect delegates
to the niext Democratic convention
pledged to the policy and measu
irs (of the Ballot Reform League,
leaving the delegates free to vote
fr t ,at citizen of Louisiana who
is the best leader of the Ballot Re
ftrm movemCnt, and heartily and
earnestly in favcr of its measures.
lResolved. That a State Cen
tral Committee, to be composed of
one member from each parish and
ward in the Parish of Orleans, and
t wenty-five members from the
State at large, to be appointed by
the chairman of this convention ;
to select from its members a chair
man, and formally open a Ballo:
Reftrm camplaigu.
Resolved. That our hearty
thanks are due to the press of the
Statc for the able and earnest and
hearty support it has given in the
pastt, and that we request its con
tinued efforts in our behalf, and
that all the papers in the State
publish these resolutions.
-Robert T. Lincolu is reported
as saying "I want no Presidency
to me the thing is smeared with
blood". He has reference of course
to the assassination of his father
Abraliam Lincoln--by Booth.
President Garfield was also assas
sinated by Guiteau. Cranks have,
also attempted to take the lives of
other Presidents of the United
States, notably that of Andrew
Jackson, but that has not de
terred others from taking their
placed. Neithe'r do we be
lieve that Bob Lincoln would
reluse the glittering, but danger
ous bauble, if tendered to hini by
the RIepublican party. The crown
ed heads of Europe have also been
assassssinated. Anarchists have
even attempted to take the life of
as good amonarch as Queen Vic
toria. The Emperor of Russia
was ushered into eterniy a fiew
years ago, by tlihe explosion of a
ibomib throwin by a ihihmst, but
that exercised no deterrent effllect
upon his son, who immediately
"'steplied into his shoes." While
there is nmuch truth in the nasxinm,
that "uneasy lies thie head that
wearls a crown", there is too much
fascination, honor and grandeur
in such an exalted octhe, to be re
sisted by an ordinary individual.

AN EXPLODED CIIESTNUT.
It has become quite fashionable
for the 16 to 1 free silver shriekers
to prate about "the money of the
Constitution," but we should like
some of them who harp so con
stantly upon this much abused
thenme, to refer us to any clause,
section or article of the organic in
strument, which makes mandatory
upon Congress the coinage of
silver.
The o;ly reficreincý to gold and
silve.ror either, is to be found in
article 1, section 10, Iparagraph 1,
which says: "No State shall coif
money, emit bills of credit, make
anything but. gold and silver coin
a legal tender."
Even this incidental allusion to
gold and silver iu connection with
each otherl, cannot be construed
.ts a mandatory direction to Con
gress to coin either or both
metals, but only as a prohibition
upon the States.
"The money of the Constitn
tion" is about as badly a shattered
and exploded chestnut, as the
mniontumental crinle," "Lombard
tand Wall street domination "Bri
