The tariff reformers urge In justifica
tion of their pulley that It will enable
American manufacturers to extend
their markets. They say Unit our In
dustries have outgtown the home de
mand and thai. It Is now necessary to
lltiil other markets In order to keep
thoM Industries active nnd American
Inbnr employed. Said Mr. Wilson In
his speech to Ills constituents on his
ri'turn : "I say It Is for yon today a
question of markets a question of con
sumers the world over for the products
you produce. The question Is , where
are we to get these markets ? We have
building for thirty years tariff
walls to keep other people from coming
In to compete with us In a home mar
ket already glutted. Wo have now
begun to tear down our tariff walls
to let us out with oxir products to com l-
pete with the rest of the world In all
11I
the markets of the world. " The Ameri I-
can market Is the greatest In the world. I.1.
No other equal number of people con 1-
sume as much as the people of the
rutted States. According to the tariff
reform leader , Mr. Wilson , It Is neces
sary to open this magnillcent market
to our great commercial rivals In order
to enable our manufacturers to sell
their products In the world's markets
In competition with those rivals. Is it
possible to conceive of greater futility
than this ? Can any Intelligent man
believe that It would be possible for
American manufacturers to find In for-
elgn markets , granting that they could
get a generous share of their trade , Idn
pensatlon for the sacrifice of the home
15ut how shall we capture these for
eign markets ? In order to successfully
compete with Great Britain , France
and Germany In tlio world's markets
we must produce as cheaply as they.
The products of our Industries must ;
innot only be as good as those of our
rivals , but they must be sold at as low
a price us theirs. Haw materials will
not enable us to do this , because they
are relatively a small factor. The great
defactor is labor , KO that In order to en-
able our manufacturers to enter the
v.'orld'H markets In competition with
tlif more cheaply produced mnnufac-
tnred goods of Kngland , Kranco and
Germany It will be absolutely necessary
to reduce the cost of American labor to
the level of Ktiropean labor. There is
no escape from this , for it Is manifestly
veabsurd to assume thnt we have nny
Important advantage over those conn-
tries lu superior skill and the
greater etllcleney of our muchln-
decry and labor. Whatever small
advantage wo may have In
sethese respects we cannot hold , for
our rivals will not permit us to enjoy
a monopoly of the most serviceable ma
chinery , nnd they will learn of us what-
ever they may llnd they need to learn
In order to keep in the race for the
world's trade. The democratic policy ,
therefore , to be successful , involves the
cutting down of American labor In all
ntIndustries to the European standard ,
and when this should be done there
would be no assurance that the reduc-
lion would stop there , because Kuro-
pean manufacturers will reduce labor
us long us It Is practicable to do so In
ordur to maintain their hold upon the
I tnnrkelft they now have , nnil low as Ihr
, present , price of labor ) H la Kurope It
j mny | | be cut n Illtlo more. In carrying
i out the democratic policy , then-fore , n
contest between American nnd Kiiro-
;
, prnn ' : labor , 111 to which can be bought
( nt the lowest price , Is Inevitable , It
mi'aiis , the ultimate dragging down of
'
Hie ( | working people of the I'nitcd States
to . the condition of living of the labor
( ing classes of Kurope. There Is no
, . .
> ether way under Unit policy us It Is
' explained ' by Its leading champion. No
argument ' ought to be necessary to per
suade American worklngineii that they
cannot support this policy. The mere
statement of what ll Is should be Hiilll-
clent.

The democratic slump In Georgia Is
naturally regarded as significant of 41
tendency Inward new political contll-
tlous lu the south , and considered In
connection with the movement among
the sugar planters lu Louisiana , the
rapid growth of the populist party lu
Alabama. Hie situation In West Vlr-
glnla and Virginia. In both of which
there Is a great deal of democratic ills-
affection , anil other signs from that
section , there Is certjiluly good reason
for the belief that a break In Ilie solid
south may not be far off. Georgia has
been nn exceedingly Interesting hat He-
ground this year , for nowhere hus , there
been furnished a more striking Illustra
tion of the divergence of views among
democrats on the currency question.
On the one hand Secretary Iloke
Smith , representing the administration ,
has talked vigorously against , the free
coinage of silver at It ! lo 1. while
Speaker Crisp has. on the other hand , as
earnestly advocated thnr policy. Two
things were prominent In thu recent
election In Georgia white democrats
broke ranks nnd either voted against
their party or stayed at home ; to (111 (
their places the democratic leaders np-
pealed to the negro vote , but iniavall-
Ingly. The colored voters went to the
populists , as did the republicans1 , nnd
the combination was a very strong one.
Another interesting fuel is that there
has mil been Ihe usual appeal to race
prejudice. The democrats of Georgia
and of several other southern states
now want the colored voter , and hence
he Is not being denounced as a dan
gerous person politically. The populist
party In the south having nsHiired the
colored men that Ihey shall be pro-
tecled In their political rights , has mil
urally Induced a very large number of
them to unite with that party. It
seems probable tlmt the cry of negro
domination will not play so great a
part In future as it bus been playing.
The Indications arc thai In Alabama
the democrats will .suffer an even
greater loss than has the party In
.
Georgia , and that If they win It will
.
be by n very small margin. The revolt t
lie
of the sugar planters in Louisiana Is
certain to largely reduce the democratic
, vote. In that state. The advices from
the t Virginias are lo the effect that In
both the democracy IHI losing ground.
llf
One Ihlng II appears to be perfectly
safeto predict. The democratic cal
culation of sending a practically solid
delegation of democratic representatives
tlt
tives t from the south will not be ful-
lllletl. I ! There will be fewer .southern
democrats In the Fifty-fourth congress
tt
than t there are lu the present congress.
A break In the solid south this year
would be : i welcome political change
and It would unquestionably be bene
ficial | to Unit section. Itourboii rule
there j has not been promotlve of the
upbuilding of the south , either politi '
cally , socially or materially. A change
could hardly fail to bring Improvement. '
Omaha will have to do si great deal
lld
of paving and repaying next year and
to do this the city at large will have to
defray the expense incurred for the
street intersections at least. We think
there Is no question as to the necessity
of voting Intersection paving bonds In
order to supply the funds for this pur
ro
pose. The ordinance introduced Into
the city council at Its last meeting calls i ' I
for the. submission to the voters of a
proposition for bonds to the extent of
97. > ,00 ( > . The amount of money re
quired will oC course depend entirely
upon the streets which are ordered to
lo.d
be paved or repaved next year and .
.dnl
should be gauged according to careful
estimates , lint If there Is to be nny
margin it should bo on the side of ex
cess rather than of deficiency. The.
clly ought lo be ready to encourage
property owners to petition for now
pavements. It would certainly be un
fortunate If the city should llnd Itself :
compelled to deny petitions for pav'ng
because the Intersection paving fund
hail been exhausted sooner than was
expected.
There Is and for years has been a
strong prejudice against Oinalm among
citizens of the Interior of the state. No '
body Is ready to say what real basis
there Is for such antipathy to the
metropolis , but that it exists ( here Is no
doubt. Now the farmers and laboring-
JTT
men throj-glgml Nebraska have Joined.

They have committed themselves to nn

nut the claims of the Majors cnlams
Mr. Johnson has but to < lraw upon his
_

show the admirable condition ot the state
Ilnanclally before the Advent of the popu

Interested witnesses will endeavor to profn
that because of the policy pursued by the
populist administration capitalists in the cast
iiavo withdrawn their money from the state
until now it Is Impossible to secure a loan
on tbo very best security at reasonable rates
of Interest.
If Secretary Johnson had been a corre

calamity testimony thnt there never was a

JIuney can bo borrowed now at n lower rate
