It has been the habit of Republican

i riate $r,000,00 to the public schools,
:id then authorize the state treasurer to
1 ay over the money, not when the nion-
y is due, but when he finds it conven
i nt! He doesn't always find it con

appropriations for schools, which were

.Vhf the senate began to discuss the
k'i-j'f t of carbon for electric lighting
,st week, Mr. Caffery ventured to ask
hy the 20 per cent rate established by
t ie McKinley law wonld not le sufli-
ent how. Mr. Aldrich thereupon ex
j'ained that in 1800 we produced few
1 -anufactures of carbon, and the aim
a us evidently to get the article cheap
I it that mucc that time the industrv
1 id developed rapidly in all parts of the
'iintry and now asked for fuller pro
t ciiou.
In other words, there were few Ameri
f :n consumers of carlon to be taxed in
-'.'Of and consequently it was hardly
orth while to take the trouble to go
t rough their pockets, but now the con
s imer has waxed numerous, and there
fore promises tempting rewards for a
1 oid-up. J!y Mr. Aldrieh's own state
fc. ent the carbon industry has flourished
i:auer a moderate duty. It had devel
i ed rapidly in all parts of the coun
try" and having grown to its present
p-oportion without excessive protection,
it asks for more protection as a simple
gratuity. The tin plate industry asked
J'cKinley to protect it because it was
n tyet in existence, and couldn't be born
thout help. The carbon industry asks
-A .iincn to protect it lecause it has
g own so big without protection and is
T ry well able to take care of itself.
V'ith this example of the beautiful elas
ticity of the protective theory it need
. use no surprise that McKinley raised
t ,e tariff to cure a surplus and that
kmgley and Aldrich are raisin? it to
pure a deficit.

ar. In a recently published statement
he estimates the lift protection to the
trnst given by the Aldrich schedule at
from 35 cents to 1.14 on every 100
pounds of refined sugar.
W ithout attempting to give his argn
ment as t- each of the ways in which

As an item of tariff taxation the sug
ar schedule is ideal from the protection
ist staudiKiint. riugar is the one article
used by poor and rich to an equivalent
extent, and a tax on which therefore
falls most heavily on the poor in pro
portion to their ability to pay it. Its
production and distribution are control
led by a concern which is at ouco the
greatest of our mean trusts and the
nieuuiiHt of our great ones.
It is consistent therefore that on this
ono article there should be levied more
than one-third of our total tariff taxa
tion, and that our people should be bur
dened by a tax of more than $90,000.
00O that realizes less than 1 70, 000,
000 for the treasury and more than
J2O.000.0OO for the sugar refining com
bine, while the same combine is enabled
to ne t an additional $10,000,000 by the
opportunity given it to import at present
duty rates raw sugars from which it
can make refined to be sold by it under
the enhanced price assured it by the
proposed Aldrich schedule. The net
"protection" of from 46 to 00 cents per
100 pounds given the trust on its refin
ing process alone should be considered
as sufficient when we remember that
the labor cost of this process is slightly
less than cents per 100 pounds that
is to say. Senator Aldrich, in behalf of
American labor, proposes unduly to tax
wage earners in order to give the trust
from five to seven times as much "pro
tection" ad it pays for all the labor in
volved. Next to the wage earner the farmer
is dear to the protectionist heart, and
ho is therefore equally favored by tho
sugar schedule. Of lato years through
out the eastern and middle und many of
the central .states the competition cf tho
far wwt has driven our farmers from
grain raising into frnit culture. This
has now 60 developed that except for
exports of cauned goods jams, pre
serves, etc. in which we ought to sup
ply the world, the business of fruit rais
ing has, in its turn, become almost profit
less. And poverty is now assured to
those who are dependent upon fruit cul
ture by the proposed tax of two cents
a pound on sugar. This increases
by from 50 to 75 per cent the article
which would make up from 40 to 75
per cent of the total weight of the jams,
etc., the exiwrt of which might insure
living prices for tho surplus fruits, but
which is now practically prohibited.
And this is "a government of the
people, by the people and for the peo
ple." Who are "the people?"
One of the mast striking indications
of the growth of sentiment against high
protection and of a liberal seiirimeut
upon tariff matters is the movement
against the pending tariff bill by the
Manufacturers' Association of the Unit
ed States. Mr. A. B. Farquhar, an ex
tensive manufacturer of agricultural
machinery at York, Pa., is at the head
of the movement.
It is well known that in the manu
facture of agricultural Implements and
machinery Americana are far in advance
of their coniiietitors in any other laud
and that the products of their factories
may be seen in the fields all over the
civilized world. These people need no
protection and are well able to take care
cf themselves. All they ask is to have
untaxed raw material, so that they will
not be placed at a disadvantage.
A great list of other industries are
practically in tho same position and de
sire free raw material more thun they
desire protection. It is also significant
that the manufacturers, in their peti
tion to the senate, declare that their
ability to employ American labor will
bo greatly impaired by the passage of
the tariff bill. They ask that the Chi
nese wall that is obstructing the foreign
trade and crippling American enterprise
shall be broken down.
The plea which has been nsd for
years by the protectionists namely,
that protection is in the interest of
American labor is shown by census
figures to be a sham. Of the 5,000,000
persons employed in manufacturing iu
the United States it is shown iu the pe
tition that less thun 200,000 are em
ployed in occupations subject to active
foreign competition and CK5.000 in
occupations subject to moderate for
eign competition. The remainder, over
4,000,000, do not come at all in compe
tition with foreign labor.
It is very plain that the Dingley bill
is not designed, any more than any other
high protective measure was designed,
to protect American labor or to pro
duce revenues for the government. It is
designed primarily to protect the trusts
and to foster monopoly. Baltimore
Sun.
According to the protective theory the
Imposition cf a tax on noncompetiug
articles adds to their cost to the con
umer. This theory wculd be aptly ex
emplified in tho proposed duties on
hides, as the people would lie compelled
to pay more for their footwear. It is es
timated that the increased cost of boots
and shoes for one year under the pro
posed duty would amount to f 20, 000,
000. With free hides our manufacturers
of leather goods have been able to build
up a great export trade in footwear. As
Mr. Blaine said when it was proposed
to put a duty on hides in the law of
1890, "It will yield a profit to tho
butcher only the last man that needs
it." The Interests of the tanners and
shoe manufacturers are vastly more
important than the interests of butch
ers and western ranchmen. Chicago
Times-Herald, Republican.
A reward of 25 is offered by the
New York World for any linguist who
Vill translate the sugar schedule in the
new tariff bill into English that can be
understood. It is said that the sngar
men understand it perfectly, and if they
do what business is it of others? The
Sugar trust is running the United
States senate at present, and it is hold
ing up all legislation until it gets what
it wants. If the people of this countrv
had a hauce to vote on the election of
United States senators, some of the old
fossils in the senate would never be
heard of again. Harrisburg Telegraph.

Washington lv!!?r.
Wa-liington, June 11th 197 Mr.
McKinley was not in the best of hu
mors when he left Washington for the
Nihvi!!e exposition. Several things
had net gone to suit him. The news
papers printed the report of Consul Gen
eral Fitzhogh Lee, on the It'iiz investi
gation, before it was received by the state
department, and nobody could discover
the leak. But the principal cause of
Mr. McKinley's bad humor was the ver
bal report made by his friend and per
sonal representative, Mr. Calhoun, who
found out too much of what Mr. Mc
Kinley did not want to know, and not
enough to corrolorate what he thought
he already knew. In short, Mr. Cal
houn reported things as he found them,
regardless of whether they pleased or
displeased anybody. Meanwhile the
Cuban question is ready to boil over in
congress. Many Republicans in the
house who have been keeping quiet in
opposition to the wishes of their constit
uents, in order to give Mr. McKinley
a chance to do something, are growing
restive and cannot be held in much
longer.
Notwithstanding the opposition of
Senator Jones, of Ark., and Vest, of
Mo., both ot whom denounced it severe
ly, six Democrats voted for the amend
ment offerod to the taiiff bill by Seua
tor Bacon, of Ga., putting a 20 per cent
ad valorem duty on raw cotton. The
Republicans all voted for the amend
ment and it is now a part of the bill.
The six Democrats who voted for the
amendment were Bacon and Clay of
Ga., Tillman and McLaurin, of S. C.
McKhery, of La., and Rawlins, of
Utah. Senator Bacon replied to Dem
ocratic objections by saying that it was
r cognized that the country was to have
a tariff bill and that he intended to see
that his state received an equal share of
its benefits, as he believed, in the words
of the Bible, that the man who does not
care for his own household is worse
than an infidel. There are reasons for
the belief that the Republicans are
playing a bunco game on Senator B:i
con and his Democratic supporters, in
order to exhibit them as supporters of
protection, and that when the tariff bill
goes to the president it will not contain
a duty on raw cotton.
Senator Jones, of Ark., chairman of
the Democratic national committee, is
naturally a little skeptical almut the sto
ries printed from time to time altout the
raising of large SJms of money to lie
used for the continued propogation of
free silver ideas. Speaking of the latest
Story, that Colorado had raised $100,
000. Senator Jones said: "I have not
received a cent from Colorado since the
election, and if any sum has been or is
being raised there in the interest of sil
ver, I don't know it. I should be very
glad to be assured that it is true."
Senator Mills, of Texas is not an
alarmist, but Le can see nothing but
trouble ahead for class legislation. He
said: "The effect of this tariff bill
upon the people will be seen, not in its
high taxation, but in the way it buttres
ses and fortifies trusts of all kinds.
Some of these days this sort of legisla
tion will have to cease or we will see a
revolution. The people will not stand
it. Driven to the wall by the combina
tions of money power, thev will find a
leader, and we shall see another Coxey:s
army which carry guns and use them.
Democratic senators are practically
unanimous in declaring the uselessness
of Mr. McKinley asking congress to
authorize him to appoint a monetary
commission, because they have decided
that no such legislation shall be voted
upon by the senate at this session.
Mr. J. Addison Porter, who would not
be filling his present position had not
its title been officially cnanged from
private secretary to the president's sec

.Mustn't Wear Birds.
Boston, June 14. One of the billa
which was signed by Governor Wolcott
just oeiore the prorogation of the legis
lature is aimed aeainst the dest
of insect-killing birds for milinery pur
poses. It makes the mere possession of
the skin or feathers of any bird which
is now protected by law punisliable by
ine t-ame penalty as has hitherto been
imposed for killing the birds.
The bill was opposed as an interfer
ence with business, and as exposing wo
men 10 punishment for wearing feath
ers which they now have; but a large
majority voted for the bill ou the
ground that the destruction of these
birds has resulted in a vast increase of
vegetatiou-eating insects, causing much
pecuniary loss, wholly aside from ques
tions of cruelty or fashion.

New York, June 14. What appeared
to be a deliberate attempt to wreck an
excursion train from Coney Island with
1,000 persons aboard, was made on the
New York A Sea Beach railroad last
night. A 500-pouud rail was laid
squarely across the track just above the
tunnel leading to the station at Third

lyn, Engineer Malone had not legun to
slow down for the station when the rays
of the headlight shining on the track
ahead revealed the rail. The engineer
reversed the lever, but the locomotive
struck the rail full tilt. There was a
jar, a loud report, and the train jolted
over the track through the tunnel and
then cme to a standstill. The olietruc
tion rail was smashed in three pieces
The passengers were badly frightened,
but beyond a general shaking-up, no
body was injured. From an examina

It then started up the bayou, dragging

Caused Their Death.
Bellaire, June 14. The lives of three
young ladies were blotted out yesterday
evening by lightning, while they were
on their way home from the Methodist
Episcopal chinch at Jacolsburg. The
victims are: Minnie McGuire, daugh
ter of Rev. Thomas McGuire; Alphie
Taylor, daughter of William Taylor, and
Kmma White, daughter of Simon
White, each aged about 10 years.
Sarah Bohring was badly stunned and
may die. They were all residents of
Jacolsburg, a village on the Bellaire,
Zanesville and Cincinnati railway, elev
en miles west of this city, and were
walking together in the road about 100
yards from the church when they were
struck by the lightning.
Il is lielieved that the steel corsets
worn by the three that were killed were
the chief cause of their death, as Miss
Bohring, who was only stunned, wore
none.
W recked ou a Reef.
San Francisco, June 14. Advices
from Acapulco have been received here,
giving the particulars of the wreck of
the British ship Kinkora, on Clipjierton
reef. It appears that while on the voy
age from Puget Sound to Kngland with
a cargo of lumber the Kiukora was
struck and dismasted by a squall, May 1,
aud driven on Chpperton reef, some 2(K1
miles northwest of Acapulco. Another
Storm drove the vessel from the reef that
night and the crew of 27 men landed on
the reef and camped there.
After vainly waiting for a passing sail
for some days, the first officer and a
crew of six men volunteered to make the
trip to Acapulco, which they finally
reached more dead than alive, June 3.
When the rescuing party left Chpperton
Island there was sufficient food to last
the remai-iing 20 men about four
months.

Fooled by m False Krport.
Tampa, Fla., Jnne Hi. A vessel sup
posed to lie the Dauntless camn into
Hillsborough bay and took an a cargo
of arms and ammunition from a
schooner lying at anchor oil the mouth
of the Alalia river and then sailed
away.
A report was sent out that the Daunt
less had sailed from Key West with an
expedition. It was circulated by those
interested to throw the officers off their
guard, and the Dauntless came in and
got her cargo. The two boats were
tied np until about II o'clock at night,
and in the moonlight could be plainly
seen from the river front.
J. fc.. Cartya and Charles Silva are the
only ones who are known to lie aboard,
and they caino up from Key West.
The schooner came into the bay and
anchored Saturday afternoon. Her
name is not known. She was two
masted und about 1HO tons. Her hull
wa black and she was evidently well
loaded, tmte a number of men went
from West Tampa, striking across the
country and proceeding to a joint 011 the
bay shore took to lioat near the place
where the Colonel Callcros expedition
embarked. The expedition was well
planned and was gone fully hours
liofore the authorities or Spanish consul
knew that anything was going 011, so
completely were they thrown off their
guard by the shrewd ruse. The Daunt
less had an engagement to go on the
ways here and had a government boat
come upon her unexpectedly she would
have had a good excuse tor being 111
Hillsborough bay.
The whole affair was worked very
quietly. The mysterious schooner lert
a lout daylight. No one seems to know
what Imat this is. Some assert that it
is tho Adams, which received her load
from the Biscayne and then ran tip in
this harbor to meet a steamer which
would take the munitions to Cuba or
out to sea to the Dauntless.
Tiiere is also a rumor to the effect
that the schooner hails from the neigh
lorhood of Carrabt lie and received her
load at a point where the railroad
crosses the river. The presence of Cap
tain Pariin, a prominent citizen of Car
rabelle, in this city for the past two
days adds strength to the rumor. Since
his arrival he has been in conference
with parties formerly very active in the
filibustering business.
