Sixteen People Perish by the Capsizing of a Schooner, Seven Women and Three Chil. dren Among Those Lost. { A dispatch from New Orleans, La. sayst The Norwegian steamer Washington, Cap- tain Salvesen, from Boca Del Toro, has just arrived in port. She reports that on Octo ber 10, latitude 14.46 north, longitude 83.28 west, she encountered a hurricans from north-northwest around to west-southwest, Jasting until 2 a. m. October 11, accompanied by mountainous seas. The vessel shipped much water sud had boat covers and move- lables on deck swept away and cargo slightly gamaged, Thecaptain and first officer were Anjured by being knocked about by the heavy sea and the rolling of ths vessel The Norwegian steamer Agnes, Captan F, Hanse, from Bluefields, Nicaragua, also ar- rived that same evening. She reports hav- ing, October 10, at 8 p. m., encountered a hurricane from west veering to southwest and south, with tremendous seas flooding the steamers decks fore and aft, p The vessel was “hove to" until 4a. m,, October 11th, when the weather mode rated. She also reports that at 7a. m. she sighted what appeared to be a boat in which were two men, the waves at the times being very high: hauled the ship up, aad, drifting down to them, found they were two sailors clioging to part of a boat, passing near them, a line was thrown to which they clung, and was drawn aboard the ship in safety, The men belonged to the Honduran schooner Stranger, which had capsized at 11 p. m. on October 10, She had thirteen pas sengers, including seven women and three children, also a crew of five men, including the captain, all of whom, with the excep- tion of the two rescued by the Agnes, ware drowned.

The following letter from Wayne MacVeagh, Attorney Gen. eral under Garfield, announcing that he will vote for Grover Cleveland, has been given out for publication: PaiaperLenia, Oct, 4, 1892, John W.

As both parties have presented unexceptionable candidates, there is no reason why the differences which exist upon q jestions of public policy should be discussed otherwise than in good bumor, and with entire respect for each other's opinions. In the present campaign what may | fairly be called the false alarms of the | canvass will prove of little value, because ‘It is obvious that, {n the common judg~ | of the general confidence in the safe and conservative character of both candi- iates. The average voter knows that free trade is impossible in this country, for the conclusive reason that the evenues now required to meet ‘the ex Government will necossar a far higher degree of jon to our established and irers “itaer ilton or Henry Clay th the 3 4 truggling industries vast ases of the afford proto prosperous Alexander wight desir act than manuf H A ae in our weak and The average the irredeemable currency in use bel the war can 1 On the other hand, he knows ff duties ports, however inequitable, can preve infancy stor 5.50 Knows LO ore reappear. as well that no system a im yar continued growth in wealth, ln man and in population, s growth se incomparable gilts of Provi noe, the intelligence and energy of the people, and the bi Lions, While I am mor to hold duty to ¢ ties of party, [ find mysell at present in general accord with the Democratic Party, and willing to trast its course in the (4h gr, TRAIOHED huakbl ROC 450 party exhibited in compelling the nomi nation of Mr. Clevelsad when be was without a single office holder to support his candidacy seem to me to demand that I should meet them in the same spirit and act with them as long as th ved say reso above ney maintain that high standard of policy and of administration. It is the more easy to do so because the Republican Party, securing its return to power four years ago by promising to preserve mat- ters as they were, al once embarked upon what I regard as a reckless and revo- lutionary policy, even overturning all the safeguards of legislation in the House of Representatives in their haste to pass the Force bill and the McKinley bill, both, to my miad, unnecessary and ua- wise measures The opposition to the Force bill, as not only sure to create far greater evils than it could cure, but as also subversive of the rights of the States, has become so earnest and widespread that it is said to have been abandoned; but it is must not be forgotten that only two years ago such a measure was warmly advocated by the Republican Party, sad very narrowly escaped becoming a law, There is no pretense, however, that the McKinley bill is abandoaed. On the contrary, our express approval of it is demanded. No doubt that bill, which I cannot but think was an uncalled for disturbance of the then.existing tariff, | greatly benefited a few interests, but cer. tainly it greatly oppresséd many others, Of the protected industries themselves, | many were then, as now, in far more | urgent need of free raw materials than of | higher protection, but with raw mater. fals on the free list the bill could not | have passed, for those baving such mater. | ials for sale controlled enough votes to defeat it, and they were very likely to do so if their bounties were discontinued. | The manufacturers needing free raw materials were therefore, obliged to join in the objectionable processes of increas. ing ‘prices by restricting production, thus | adding to the number of trusts by which the price of the necessaries of life laced at the mercy of unlawful com- Pinations of capital. It is not surprising that labor, believ. ing itself to be oppressed, soon rose in revolt, and civil war has actually raged this summer in four different sections of the country. And, of course, the farm- ers, paying more for what they buy sad loss for what they sell, grow poorer day by day; and excellent (arms in some of the most fertile sections of essence that *‘fat” under any form of taxation is mainly the giving away of the wages of labor. The sad truth that the curse of the poor is their poverty is illustrated in nothing | more clearly than in the undue share | they suffer of the burdens of taxation. But, apart from this consideration, ought not taxes only be imposed as re quired for public purposes, or may they | also be imposed for the pecuniary ad- vantage of such persons or classes as are able to control Congressional action in | their favor! It seems to me like travesty oo taxation to require, as the | try would be promoted by Mr. Cleve. McKinley bill does, the farmer who grows corn in Indiana to pay a bounty to the farmer who produces cane sugar in Louisiana, or to require the farmer | who grows wheat in Pennsylvania to pay | a bounty to the farmer who prodyces maple sugar in Vermont; but it is nearer tragedys than travesty to tax the masses | of the people to increase the wealth of | the very wealthy owners of most of our | protected industries. But even such inequality and injustice | are the least of its evils, for while such a system endures political corruption is absolntely sure system not only invites, but it requires, the corrupt use of money both at the polls and in Congress. It 185 of its very “fried” out Who shall happen to do the ‘frying’ or who shall happen to distribute the ‘‘fat’”’ upon any partic. ular occasion is mere matter of detail, but while that system lasts both will con- shall be f its beneficiaries. ! tinue to be done by somebody. legislative And the evils of a system of bounties, so {ar from stopping, only be- grins with those bounties secured to the industries protected by tariff. The iisastrous course of the Republican Party mm the silver question is an apt illustra- of this truth. It ought to be an honest-money party, and it would be if it could ; but while it demanded increased bounties for its favorite manufacturers, it could not increased bouaties to the silver producers, as the votes they control were probably necessary to the passage of the McKinley bill.

The abuses of the pension system far. nish another apt illustration of the evils sure to follow such a system of legisia- Haws, if Congress was to levy taxes upon stopped {o so ¥ classes of manufacturers, it was very na- taral that the pension ageats should also join hands to increase their foes by an indiscriminate graating of pensions. The result is that nearly a generation after the close of the war there is a steady in. crease of the vast sums passing through the pension agents’ hands, uotil now the total amount staggers belief, and has be- come of itsell a very serious burden upon he Treasury. From the day of Lee's surrender until now no single voice bas ever been raed against the most gen erous provision for every perion who had any just claim upon the gratitude of the country; but surely there is neither rea. son nor justice in legislatioa which de- stroys all distinction between the dis charge of duty and the shirking of it, between loyal service and desertion of the colors, between wouads received in battle and diseases contracted in the pur- suits of peace, There is still another great aad in- creasing evil chiefly traceable, in my opinion, to the maintenance of an exces. sive tariff since the war, and the con stant meddling with it to make it higher, and that is the bringing to our shores of those vast swarms of undesirable immi- grants who degrade American labor by their competition and threaten the sta. bility of institutions based upon an ia- telligent love of country. Just as the duties upon imported merchandise have been increased, so has the grade of im. ported labor been lowered, until now, under the McKinley bill, there are com- yng here every month many thousands of more igoorant, and therefore less de- sirable, laborers than ever before, It is | not easy to exaggerate the moral evils they ate likely to inflict upon our social order and our National life. As the Republican Party w now defi. pitely committed to the policy of taxing the people for the purpose of giving | bounties to such persons or interests as ean secure the necessary votes in Coan gross, #0 the Democratic Party is now as definitely committed to Ys Joticy of | restricting taxation to the needs of the Government for public purposes alone. The gulf fixed between these two poli. cies of taxation is as wide sal deep wm prospect of our enjoying the and stable standard of "md i: civ. Cc to increase, as such a! abroad! And until then even ballot reform, the best help yet discovered to honest elec tions, and already threatened with over. throw by the Republican managers ia Maine, Vermont, and Indisna, must share the same fate of betrayal in the house of its pretended friends. All thess causes are, in the very nature of things, the relentless foes of asystem of govern. | ment by bounties to favored interests, and such a system is their relentless foe, As 1 believe, for the reasons I have given, that the true welfare of the coun. land's election, it is my duty to vote for him, sud as I recall the capacity, the fidelity, and the courage with which he has herctotors discharged every public trust committed to him, the duty be- comes a pleasure.

Have not wages in this country always been higher than in England since the Mavflower landed Were not American wages in 1860, | when we had a revenue tariff, higher in proportion to those than they are now. Are not wages as a rule lowest in the countries with highest tariff, like Russia, Mexico and China, where foreign trade is restricted as far as possible, Did not the farmers own a good deal bigger share of the of the coun- try in 1860 than they do now!

With brazen assumption we are told, in the language of the New York Press, that “Protection, is making this differ ence, by raising wages and lowering the prices of goods in this ¢ waatry.” Pro- tection, that is doing all it can to defeat press is quotiag us hat higher in ieazth to prove Nees Are here, gency « als; that increases the cost of machinery to tll the soil, to manufacture our goods and to transport them, and that increases the cost of every dutiable imported ar ticle consumed here! “Protection,” that increased the oost of living, & Hamilton, Clay aod Webster admitted, but which they attempted to justify, to a limited degree and for a limited time, because other considerations. This same “Protection,” we are to believe, because it cannot ealirely defeat the natural results of the most productive country on the globe, is what makes liv- ing cheap here, The system must indeed be on its last legs when its friends at- tempt to justify it oa this absurd ples. If they had talked this nonsense thirty years ago our rational voters would never have employed McKinley to make tariff schedules. of Which Hora! Every protection parad )x presents a sharp horned dilemma 1f the tariff is not a tax produce revenue! If taxing an article tends to make it cheaper how does it eoable the manufac. turer to pay higher wages? {f the tariff has raised wages, thus adding to the cost of production, how how can it can prices be lower! When the price of farm produce weal ap under McKinleyism, bow could the cost of living go down! Now that the price of foodstuffs is going down is the cost of living rising again? If our imports have increased, as the | protectionists mow boast, how has the tariff secured the home market vo our | manufacturers or protected wage earners against the competition of pauper labor If our manufactures oan, as the sta tistics show, produce many staple ar- | ticles more cheaply than they can be | made sbroad why do they meed a high tariff! If high tariffs make high wages why are wages in Germany snd in Fraoce so much lower than in Eogland! Finally, as we have often aeked with out an answer, if the foreigner pays the duty why did McKinley leave the Trem. ury so stort of money! These questions t several inter.
