llie Philadelphia Trrcerd has a long
Interview with Majer L. a Bent, of the
Pennsylvania steel company, who Is ro re
w" 'ohave aldt "Give me free ero
P,1 ".,m P'g Iren In Liverpool mid send
steel rails te Londen. What American In
dustries most want Is free opportunity,
and net legislative protection nor restric
tion," In explanation he continued ; " Fer the
first tluie within the experience of theso
new engaged In the iron and steel busi
ness, this ceuutry 1 thrown entireiv upon
Its own resources of production te "supply
Uie demand of thnrni iii-llnlr.. Tlil. ....
".ml, cn.tlrry unoxpected condition of
airalrs has been suddenly thrust upon the
country after a long depression or these In
Uul!lr.lp.8, 0ne r lhe principal causes
which hns brought about this condition of
tuTuIrs Is the state of the business in
Europe net only have prices of Iren and
steel there advanced te u point where ex
portation te this country Is prohibited, but
they have ceme up abreast, and In some
specialities have advanced beyond theso
ruling en this side of the wnter. Te show
that these prices nre net spcculstive,
here is a late market repert from
Londen: 'Steel rails Ne further change
In prlces, but demand actlve and market
strong. Heavy sections queted at i 10s.,
equal te f35'f. e. b., shipping points, llcsso llcsse
mer pig large business dene. Prices still
further advanced and strong at 77s., equal
te 81U.20 f. e. b. These are American
prices.' This is an anomalous condition or
airalrs, and though it presumably cannot
long continue, that it has actually occurred
la ene or the striking events of the time.
The causes which have contributed te these
rapid advances if we may excepta limited
factor of speculation In my opinion are
there te stay. They are, llrst, the scarcity
of material, such as fuel und ero ; these are
approaching exhaustion In England, and
there Is a continued Increase In the cost of
mining. Secondly, manufacturers abroad
have te meet the labor problem ; wages
there are at no distant day destined te
equal wages hore."
" What would be the result of equalizing
the wages?"
" I believe that we would have an ad
vantage, because of the greater productive
power of American labor. Thore can be no
ueuut mat this exists. Thore is a radical
diflbronce between the character of the
American nnd of the foreign workingman.
A 10 nor cent, advance in wages in our in
dustrial establishments means, as a rule, 10
per cent, of Having, which is tuiule in Itsel I
productlve by the empleye, and an in
creased effort en Ills part te get in mero
hours and produce mero tens, thereby In
creasing the net saving te hlinself, as well
as te his einployer. On the ether side the
rule is quite different. Neither the condi
tion, the habits nor the prospects of the
werkingmau muke the Baving of nioney
an objective point te the English laborer.
Ten per cent, udvauce in wages means te
him 10 percent, mero leisure, or a corres
ponding reduction of work; and te the
employer 10 per cent. less product with in
crease of fixed charges.
" Everything indicates te my mind that
the present still' prices abroad will continue
te glve American manufacturers their
present advantages, und in that way they
might new be in a position te compcte for
the markets of the world If they wero freed
from the disadvantages laid ujen theiu by
the tariff en raw materials."
"Why de you think the present high
prices are likely te conttnue ?"
"Ifyeu ask it manufacturer for his pro
duct for future delivery, while he will
million iirice quite within the limit, he will
likely add that he has uone te soil. The
persen who is new in most demand is the
ene who has something te soil, and this Is
at the very beginning oftheupward move
ment The surplus resources which were
hanging heuvily en our haudsthree months
age aie already nearly consumed. The
unlimited supply of raw materials, of
which we never tire boasting, is In the hilly
and mountains. The furnaces that are te
nut it into merchantable sliape are unbuilt.
The transportation lines of the ceui.trv are
completely overwhelmed with business.
Thore is scarcely sulllclent metive power
and transportation facilities te take euro of
the prcseut business. Thore are thousands
of tens of fuel for manufacturers lying at
the mines mid evens for the want of cars te
take them te idle furnaces. True it is that
seme small and badly located establish
ments have gene out ; but they have geno
out forever because of changed conditions,
and beenuse of the Irreversible tendency
toward consolidation.
" This country cannot be lloedoil with
foreign manufactures. Importations hae
been Brewing rapidly less , Eurepe has
deserted the markets of "Seuth Anierici
and the tieplcs, us well as the provinces, se
that net only are we freed from the rivalry
or importations, but new markets have
been opened which are looking, and will
continue te leek, te this country for their
supplies. With this prospect for a large
business opening te our furnaces and
mines, with ad vuncl ng prices reaching far
into the future, it is the manifest duty of
Congress te really ' protect ' American In
dustries by relieving its raw material of
the burdens new laid uikjii it.
"It is literally ' a condition, net a theory,
which confronts us.' When the great
works at Sparrow X'eint shall be lu full
operation the Pennsylvania Steel company
must import 1,000,000 tens of Uossemor orb
per annum. Te restrict uh te the home
supply is utterly impracticable; thcre are
no ores te be had et home such as aro are
nerded for our purposes. We would have
te go thousands of miles into the into ler
for them. Te ralse the dutles en this ero
te such a net nt us te 'protect' the American
mines and miners from Cuban and Medi
terranean Bessemer ores weul! simply bu
te close all our works, put out our furnaces,
threw tens of thousands of werklngmen out
of employment nnd render unproductive
tens of millions of capital. Even at the
present rate of duty we have te pay J750,
000 per year tariff" Our. This must either
coineotf lhe wugosef American working
men or oil' the profits of American manu
facturers. This means $1.50 Impost en
every ten of our product, and a handi
cap of that amount upon us in our
competition with foreign manufactu
rers for whatever distauce that dollar
and n half would carry our products
into the wcrld's market further than they
new go. Twe-thirds of our product fs
shipped te seaboard points te be distributed
clther te foreign countries or along the
coast. With a view te that consideration
we planted our new works en the water.

THE nUltLKr BANK ItOHBEHV.
Arrest or the Assistant Cashier and Twtf
Other Parties.
The arrest of Assistant Oasbler Perrln, of
the Iren Exchange bank, of Hurley,
Wis., together with woman and
a man named Baker, charged with
complicity In the bank robbery, has caused
a great sensation. On the night of
Heptetnber 20, nearly t!0,000 In cash was
stolen from the vaults of the Iren Ex
change bank at Hurley. The money was
Intended te pay off the empleyes et the
Qermanla and Ashland mining companies,
and had been shipped from Ashland by
the United States Express company. The
money was taken te the bank In a wheel
barrow, and was placed In the vault, Bo Be Bo
tween the hours of 1O.30 and 11:30 o'clock
the bank was entered and the entire
amount carried off. The circumstances
surrounding the big hnul indicated that tt
had been carried out by men who carefully
laid their plans and who were also in pos
session of inside socrets of the bank.
Like nearly every bank, the Hurley de
positery nau a vault ana a saie inside or it
with a tlme lock. As the money arrived at
0.15 p. m., after the closing of the bank lhe
muiicy cuuiu nei ue puv ime me saie. u
was placed inslde the vault, however, and
Cashier W. H. ltoynelds remained In the
bank, taking care of the large treasure un
til 10:15 o'clock when he want te the theatre
with two friends. When the cashier re
turned at 11:30, In company with a Mr.
Langden, he noticed that the vault deer
had l)een opened. Leeking inside he was
(hunderstruck te nee that the money was
geno. A large number of small silver coins
wero scattered all ever the fleer of the
vault, and all was confusion. Sherlff Mat Mat
seu was tolegraphed te at Ashland, but
did net receive notlce of the robbery until
tee late te catch the train for Hurley. Net
even the faintest clue was left by the bold
burglars. The deer of the vault had net
been marred, and It was opened by soma
ene who had learned the combination.
Thore wero only two moil supposed te be
In Ksscssleti of It Cashier Itevnelds and
Assistant Cashier Perrln. The United
States Express company at ence hurried
detectives te Hurley, but, after a few days'
work, the men wero ostensibly withdrawn
and it was given out that no clue te the
robbers had been discovered. The ox ex
press company managers also announced
that the bank would be held liable, while
the bank etllclals In turn declared they
would de nothing, ivs the express company
would have te stand the less. Ail this,
however, was dene te threw the rebliers
off the track. Men wero placed in llurley,
Ironweed, and even Ashland, in all sorts
of disguises and iiosittens, and the work
of ferreting out the robbers was carried en
in a most systematic manner. That soine
ene connected witli the bank was impli
cated in the robbery was evidently the
theory from the eutsct,tbut te work this out
took time and nationce. for the reason that
all the bank etllclals steed very high in
Huiloyeud had many friends.
THE AVAltAOAINST TRUSTS.
Legal Complication Arising Prem the
Aotleu of the Missouri Authorities.
There are flne prospects for endless com
plications growing out or revocation or
charters of corporations for nou-cempli-aneo
with the anti-trust law, of Missouri.
One of the most surprising features of
the development was the finding of
the name et the St. Leuis stamping works
in the list of revoked charters. This Is
the mammoth cencern owned by Hen.
P. U. Neldrlnghaus, congressman from
the Eighth district. On Monday It de
veloped that Mr. Neldrlnghaus would lead
thought against the law, nnd that the op
position will be taken Inte the United
States court. In refusing te make the re
quired allldavlts the attorneys or the
stamping company have no tilled the secre
tary that they are operatlng under patents
granted by the Unlted States ; that soma or
their stockholders are living in ether
statcH, and that the Missouri law contem
plates nn abrogation or the interstate com
merce rights granted by the constitution
of the United States. Fer these and ether
reasons they propose as speedily as possi
ble te carry the secretary bofero the United
States court, where the power of the state
in the premises will be definitely deter
mined. The pocretary of state said : " The home
corporations refusing te comply with the
law ure new without charters. Their con
tracts ure void and they cannot euforce the
collection of debts. Foreign corporations
which have violated the law, or rattier re re
fiued te make aflldavlt of their non-cen-ncctiou
with trusts, must receive thirty
days' netice before proceedings can be in
stituted in the courts. This netice has
been served and at the proper tlme the law
will be invoked. "
It can be readily seen that this construc
tion of the law opens the deer te unlimited
complications.
Circuit Attorney Cleves in au lutorview
te-day said : " It must net be undorstoed
that the charters or all these corporations
have bean revoked, because they belonged
te trusts. They were revoked in many
lustances bucause the corporations had
failed te make affidavits that they were
net connected with trusts. In ether cases
it was net the intention of the corporations
te claim they wero net connected with
trusts, while atfew made affidavit that they
were net se allied save in certain cases.
" The Intoiitieii is, as I understood it, te
test the validity of the law, which will be
dena cither by corporations asking an in
junction te restrain Secretary Loseur from
interfering with their business or under
quo warrante proceeding instituted against
corporations whose charters have been re
voked by the secretary of state, citing them
te show cause why they should continue
business after their charters have been re
voked." Whnt Private. Dnlzell Wants.
The Washington Pout has received the
following from Caldwell, Ohie: "Six
hundred thousand families in slckness,
poverty, and distress, are anxiously look
ing te Washington for a Christmas gift.
Many of them have waited 10 or 15 Christ Christ
mases for it. Thore are 000,000 unadjusted
claims en nle lu the pension nlllce. Con
gress lias premised te break the deadlock
and let them fly. It can easily de se by
codifying the laws, striking out all the
technicalities that bilider and delay the
consideration of our long delayed pensions.
Let it cut the red tape and the boys will
blessit. Every pension means irem $100
te gl.OOO for soine peer soldier's family.
What a Christmas gill It would be.
" It would be se easy for Congress te de
It, tee. Think of It. O, ye statesmen and
millionaires or Washington, as you sit
down te your Thanksgiving turifey, think
of lhe 000,000 peer famllles who have no
turkey, and have nothing for which te glve

you are te send them for a Christmas gift.

shall as assistant Kstmustcr. Mr
Marshall was for many years in the
e ill en as clerk, assistant postmaster
and postmaster. The appointment may
plcase citizens gonerally, but does net
plcose the ward bosses of the faction te
which the new postmaster belongs. It is
the host place in the pfllce and is given te
a man who has always been uctlve In ids
opposition te the Heg Itiug dynasty, who
bus been nn officeholder for a quarter of a
century and makes a place less for ene of
lhe best workers who expected te be re
warded lu the distribution or efllcint gifts.
Mr. Hegcner, who retires from thoelllco
of assistant postmaster, has been an honest,"
conscientious efllclal. who thoroughly un
derstood overy detail or the olllce. He
gees out ei the position with the best
wishes of many citizens that he may suc
ceed lu whatever buslness lie may engage
in.
The new postmaster ex peels te nssume
the duties of his olllce en December 1st.

" CAPTAIN SWIFT."
The Mudtseu 8u.ua re Company rjreeted
By u Very Geed Heuse.
A very geed nudlouce In uumbersj nnd
excellent quality assembled nt Fulton
epera heuse en Monday evening te see and
hear the presentation by oneoftho Madisen
Square companies of the moledinuiu
"Captain Swift." The play has run with
success in New Yerk und, being offered
hore for the first time, attracted many of
the most intelligent and discriminating
thentro-gecrs. The drama, which is of
English authorship, is cast in four n'.ts,
the peried Is the present and the scene Is
laid in England. Three intervals elapse
between lhe acts ; the plot is net very
elaborate, nor are the situations as striking
as in "Jim, the Penman,' with which it is
compared.
The story Is ene or n busb-raiiger from
Australia, who returning te England is by
fortune cast Inte the very family lu which
his mother, who had fersaken film in his
youth, has beceme wlfa nnd mother. The
victims of his outlawry nnd the officers
nre en his trail, and together with the
jealous boy whose place he lias assumed In
the allcctiens of n young woman in the
hotibcheld, he is hunted te his deem. The
most cll'cctlve piece of acting Is in the
third scoue, where his mother reveals her
self te him, and lu agony and rouierso
takes upon licrselr tlie biiideu of his sin
and shtime. In this part of the play
Itese Eytlnge, who wus the star of
the company, appeared at her best and sus
tained her reputation; although she has
long since lest the beauty that once com
manded homage and admiration. Arthur
Ferrest us Mr. Wilding, alias "Capt.
Swift," was upon the whole satisfactory,
though net notably a better actor than Mr.
Wright Huntington, who acquitted himself
very creditably us (JarJIncr. The support
was evenly geed and the stage setting
admirable. In all respects the play was
quite equal te the outertalninoiits which
held the beards at the theatres lu the larger
cities most of the win ter.

ItHODE ISLAND'S CHANGE.
Shu May Swing into Line With tha
Democracy.
Piievidknck, Nev. SO. The city olaUlen
te-day will go fur towards deciding tliu
the political future of Hhode Island, hero here hero
teforo regarded us an assured Itepubllcnii
state It may preve te be n revolu
tion, under the new form of oleetieu,
heralding orninuent Domecriitlu rule In
the future, lleiirn amendment, reluctantly
submitted by n Ilepubllcan general assem
bly, and adopted contrary te ltenubllcan
heea and expectations, wiped nut the last
remnant of a land-holding qualification for
lhe suffrage. Te this qualification Hhode
Island has clung for two hundred and
twonty.flve years, evor since thn charter of
the colony was granted by King Charles II.
The constitution ad nut ted native citi
zens, Irrospectlvo of preperty, te vete en
the payment or a registry tnx, dculed the
sutfrage te nil foreign-born citizens net
owners of real cstate valued nt ?llii abeve
encumbrances. This prevision of the
constitution has been subjocted te
as many ' different Interpretations. If
a man had his) preperty mortgaged up
te te the aSHOssed valuation some can.
vussers would held that he hud no right te
vete ; ethers would doclde that the prop prep prep
orty was worth mero than the asoMiment,
una 'permit the clllzen struggling under
inoitgngeand tuxen te go te the ballet-box.
Te glve an Intelligent idea of tills sub
ject, it should be remembered that while a
native-born cltlzeu could vete forgeuer.il
state and local olllces without owning
property, he could, If an owner of Ycul cs
tute, be clnsed among laudlieldiiig voters
Only u few years age the supreme court
gave nil opinion that a husband whose
wife had net berne him a living child
could net vete en his wire's estate Since
that peried nearly every family, where the
property rests in the wife, has mid nt least
oue child.
Except lu tlmes of general oxcltemsnt
the real cstate vete lias almost always
swung the olectlons lu Ithedu Island, As
for hard-fought contests, whether local or
Mate, intimidation and corruption have
commonly played a preminent and often
n decisive part.
The voter who received his (2 or (5
walked up te the ballet box closel y watched
until the ballet passed Irem his hand Inte
that of the moderator, who put It Inte thn
box. Mill operatives, us a rule net laud
holding but registry voters, wero bunded
the slips of iuper they wero ex peeled te
vote, and he who failed te vete as directed
would seen bu tramping te unother village.
The recent adoption of a secret ballet will
change all this lu goneral olectlons.
Several years years lhe Democrats, led
by Chas L. German, mude the issue of free
suffruge the preminent feature of party
ngitntlen, and an amendineut te the con
stitution admitting foreign-born citizens te
vete en the name terms as native born was
adopted.
The city olectlon te-day is hnrdly
less important than the slnte election,
indeed, in wealth mid overy olher re
spect, except lielltlcal representation,
Providence Is mero than half the state,
The Democrats, Including newly en
franchised citizens of foreign birth, have a
majority of the registry voters, und with
united und earliest cirert they cannot rail
te clod their caudldate for mayor.
1IIOII PltlCE POlt A KISS.
Henry Hoeker Wiw rined 8l0 und Pnld
H 10 Costs Ter Ills Smuelc.
Fifty dollars for a kiss is the price paid
by Henry Decker, of Hobekou, N. J., In
two Instalments In court. The price was
llxed by the Jcrsey City court et sessions,

value except for ladles half a century old.
The woman kissed was Mrn. Eliza Witter,

the delightful penally paid. Her kisses
were limited te a small family circle.
On the night of August 12 sbe was walk
ing down Madisen street, Hobekcn, 'wheii
Beckor whewaslu a happy mood, ouibr.iced
and kissed her. Shu did net toy, "Yeu
rude, awful maul" but she did turn white
with rags and called "Police." IJciker,
of course, apologized, but this did net
nppcase her wrath. He wus fined 810 fur
disorderly conduct because of Ills happy
condition by the pollen magistrate, but
that did net satisfy Mn. Witter. The
magistrate's appraisement of the vnlue of a
kiss was tee low and she went before the
grand Jury, who Indicted Decker. The
prosecutor showed that while kissing was
natural if a man met u charming lady, nnd
a mutter of taste in seme Instances, It was u
violation of thn law ir the Inclination and
consent wcre absent. He described the
dilfurence between the "no" that meant yes
and tho"ue"tbut meant iie.aud declared that
thore was a time lu life when kissing lest
ltschiirm for scme wemen. In thKcnse
the complainant was positive that she did
net waul le be kissed, and the prosecutor
declared that there ure times when kissing
should be suppressed. The Jury convicted
Itecker after the prosecutor's Instructive
and interesting lecture en the kiss. The
court dealt leniently with him and sits
landed soiiteuco en payment of the costs,
which amounted te flu.
