THE FALLACIES OF FREE TRADE Iiposcd by the Author of the Present Ucneficient Law AT TOE OrESIXG OF A TIN TLATE MILL Elwood, Inix, Sept. I.T. The American tin jilale lactorv- nt El wood as lormally dedicated as an American industry to-day and William McKinley, Jr., the high priest of protection, officiated at the ceremonies ' and pronounced the benediction of approval in the presence of 5,000 enthusiastic specta tors. That the audience nas not 20,000 was entirely due to the heavy rain which iell continuously tearly all day, as the Kepub lican State Committee had arrangements to run eicursion trains troin all parts of Indi ana, and every prominent town in the State had expected to furnish :ts quota ot visitors and tnarchinc: clubs. Despite the rain.how evcr, 28 excursion trains Irora this section of the State entered the city, and thousands ot visitors watched with interest the opera tions of the mills. It was not until 12:30 o'clock that the train bearing Governor McKinley, ot Ohio, and Governor Chase, of Indiana; Hon. Charles L. Henry, candidate lor Congress of the Seventh district, and the Columbia Club of Indianapolis reached the city. Elaborate arrangements had been made for speaking Iron) two stauds in the grove, but the weather prevented this and Governor McKinley made his principal address lroni the opera house stage. Over 1,000 persons Mere unable to obtain entrance to the build ing, but the people stood stolidly in the ram tor over halt an hour waiting to catch a glimpse of the great American pro tectionist. A start Made In a Drivlns Rain. It was 1:30 o'clock when a mighty cheer from the eager crowd assembled in the pat tering rain outside the Opera House an nounced that Governor McKinley ha 1 ap peared in sight. Stepping to the balcony, under the escort of Chairman Gnwdy, or the State Committee, and others, Governor Mc Kinley was introduced to the audience by lion. Charles L. Henry, and another scene of enthusiasm followed. In substance Governor McKinley spoke as lollows: "Mr Fellow Citizexs It will be un just to you to attempt to make a speech in this drenching rain, anil therefore I propose to content myselt with simply appearing belore you and to express the pleasure I have had in meeting so many of the Repub licans of Indiana on this most disagreeable day, which is an evidence ot the fidelity which you have tor the Republican party and the Republican ticket. Applause. Xow,what we want in this country, whether we be Democrats or whether we be Republicans, what we all want, is ;ood citizen, good money, good mar kets steady employment and good wages Applause j, and we have every one of them to-day in a greater degree than any other country of the world, and we have got thein because of and by reason of the Republican party and its polfcies. f Cheers. oir, I on iv nant to sav to you, let Indiana do as she did in 18S&. 'Cries of 'We will do it. We will do it.' I am glad to hear you say with one voice you will do it, and I believe it- Give President Harrison your electoral vote and he will be President lor the next four years." Great applause. 3IcKln!ej Great speech of lln Jnj. At the conclusion of Governor McKin ley's speech Governor Chase, ot Indiana, also a candidate lor re-election, was intro duced and spoke briefly. Governor McKin ley now entered the Opera House, which was crowded to the utmost, and being in troduced by Hou. Charles L. Henry, made here the principal speech of the day. "Mr. President and my fellow citizens," said Governor McKinley, "I am here this aiternoon, by invitation of your State Executive Committee, to speak lor a little while upon the issues involved in tho cam paign which is now upon us, and to give such reasons as X can why the Republican "party and the Republican policies should triumph in November. All agree that the issue which is commanding the most atten tion, and which is most upon the minds ot the people, is the question of the tariff Applause. It requires in this country a little more than $400,000,000 every year to meet the current obligations of the Govern ment; $1,000,000 must be raised every 24 hours. Now there are two kinds of tariffs one a protective tariff, advocated by the Republican party; the other is the tariff tor revenue only, advocated by tho Democratic party. Either the protective or the rev enue tariff will provide the money requisite lor public purposes. But a revenue tariff will do nothing else but raise revenue. It is a tarill which excludes every other con sideration but revenue. It turns a deaf ear to the labor and the wages and industries of the country. l'ractlceit .Tariff Illustrations. "A protective tariff performs the further service of protecting and defending and en courazing and stimulating the industries and cnercies of our own people. Cries of "Good! ixoadl" and applause. The tariff on that pitcher (taking a water pitcher from the table) is GO per cent It was put there not alone for reveuue, but also to build up and protect the great industry of pottery in the United States. I am happy to say it has successfully done it. Great applause. We have got under the tariff of CO per cent the most splendid pottery industries that can be found anywhere in the world, and we are supplyiug a large share of the Am erican marUet to-day, and giving employ ment to thousands of American workmen, and we are giving to the American consumer cheaper pottery and crockery than he ever had belore.

In 20 years the taxation ha been di minished 45 per cent, the debts of the State and debts of the municipalities and the. debts of the counties have fallen from 45 to 20 per cent in 20 years, and, so far at the in dividual is concerned, we never were so prosperous in all our history as we are to day. Applause. J Object Lemons on tho Tariff. "As I understand it, it is the purpose of this meeting here to-day, and the object lesson whfch you are to see is to convince them that what they have hitherto be lieved was not true, is in fact true. The Democrats say we cannot make this, we cannot make that; they say we cannot make tin plate. Cheers. Why, they said a few vears ago we could not make steel rails. They said we could not make silk, they said" we could not make pottery or glass. They said we could not make watches, but we are making every one of them, , and iv under nrntetirfl tariflffi. fffi are the first manufacturing nation of the world. r Annlmice 1 "Why should not the Democrats as well as the Republicans want a tin plate factory in this country?

Applause. '" The remainder of Governor McKinley's speech was devoted to review of the Re publican tarifl law and its effect upon the commerce and manufactures of the country. At the conclusion ot the speech a visit was made to the tin plate factory, and the pro cess of making tin plate was exhibited to the visitors. Governor McKinley was again called upon and made a brief speech on the object lesson of the day. During the whole of the afternoon men and bovs passed around among the crowd and distributed copies of the following hand bill: TIN PLATE STOCK FOB SALE.

The distribution of these dodgers created considerable excitement, and was denounced as a Democratic scheme to spoil the effects of the exercises ot the day. MEH WHO INVENT D&NCE& Professors nt Terpsichorean Art Try the Steps anil Like Them. New York, Sept. 13. The American Society of Professors of Dancing is meeting here. Several new dances were tried and adopted. The"Ventworth"was submitted by iE Bournique, of Chicago, and the dancing masters liked it. It suggests the polka mozourka, but it has a swing in the manner of closing the feet which makes it very pretty. The "Majestic Polonaise" by Horace W. Bckk, ol Chicago, is designed for the first or opening number of a dance card. It can be executed by two couples or by any number of them who care to par ticipate. An ordinary march is executed around the room in couples; that is, one couple leading and all the other couples following, with at. least six feet between each. The march can always be changed to suit the room and number of couples marching. If the room be crowded, two rings of couples may be formed. The National As sociation of Teachers of Dancing has also adopted a dance by a Chicago man. It is the ''Harvard Gavotte," the composi sition of Robert Metcalfe, of Chicago. A couple face each other, extending their right hands, moving to the right in the same position. Then follows a step forward with the left foot, the toe pointing downward. The partners inch around each other, re taining hold of hands. The figure is then repeated with the right foot. POSTAL CLERKS STILL TALKING. Several Measures Proposed, bnt No Definite Action Takes Shape. St. Louis, Sept, la This morning the delegates to the annual convention of the National Association of Postal Clerks reassembled. The report of the Secretary was read. This showed a gratifying increase in membership, and a satisfactory state ot the treasury. The report ot the Legislative Committee was then "considered. The committee reported that the present laws could readily be made satisfactory were they mandatory instead of merely al lowing promotion at discretion. An increase in the higher grades was recommended. The idea of having a Board of Promotion, composed of the heads of de partments, at each first-class postoffice, was generally supported. The morning was spent in considering the report, but 110 definite action was taken. The convention will reconvene at 10 A. M. to-morrow. A LEDGE OV HOCK GAVE WAT.

There had been no blasting in the quarry for three months and the mass of rock that presented a face IX) feet high, though overhanging, seemed perfectly intact A crew of about 50 men was at work at the foot ot the quarry when without any warning the heavy limestone began to descend. The break extended along the wide face of the quarry for over 100 feet. At the first alarm the men made a rush for safety. All succeeded in escaping but John Hnrmody, a Polander, aged 55, who ran beck for his tools and was hit by a flying boulder. Statist ici of the Bed Men. Trenton, N. J., Sept 13.

Chicago, Sept 13. State's Attorney Longenecker was served with formal notice to-day that a motion to enter judgment would be made at the October term of the Illinois Supreme Court in the case of the dead Cronln convict, Patrick O'Sullivan. This is a move to elicit a decision on O'Sul livan's appeal for a new trial, the decision. it is claimed, being necessary to settle the question as to court costs being paid out of f t'Knlli van' ditfitn THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, WEDNESDAY, DON'T LIKE THE JAIL. The Reason Hugh O'Donnell and Hugh tios3 Kept Oat of Sight. WILL SURRENDER NEXT FRIDAL They Will Waive a Dearintr and Furnish Bail for Court. ME SHERIFF WATCHES HIS DEPUTIES Hngh O'Donnell and. Hugh Ross nave communicated with their attorney, John V. Cor, and have agreed to come to the city and surrender themselves on the second charge of murder, the accusation being that they were parties to the killing of J. W. Kline, one of the Pinierton detectives. Ross has been in Ohio for two weeks, try ing to raise funds and arouse sympathy for the Homestead locked-outmen. O'Donnell has kept his hiding place a close secret It is said that he is at a rural resort, seeking rest It turns out that the two leaders have kept away from Homestead and Pittsburg because they do not like the lodging and boarding furnished by Warden MoAleese at the countv jail. They have desired to make sure of bondsmen and an immediate hear ing before the court on the bail question, before they surrender themselves. An ar rangement to this effect was made yester day. Attorney Cox, for the defendants, and Attorney Breck, for the prosecution, have held several consultations concerning these defendants, and yesterday reached an agree ment Will Give Bait for Court. The two Hughs will appear at the office of Alderman McMasters about noon on Friday, will there waive a hearing on the charge of murder and will be at once put in charge of the Sheriff and taken before the Court of Quarter Sessions. The bondsmen have been secured and will be on hand. The prcsecution has agreed that the Court shall act on the testimony taken on the first murder charge, when the defendants were accused of the murder of John Conners and Silas Wain. On that charge they were ad mitted to bail in the sum of $10,000, and there is everv reason to expect that the Court will take the same action on the sec ond charge. One of the attorneys for the Carnegie Steel Company said yesterday: "We are through with our informations and arrests at Homestead. We believe that we have caused tbe apprehension of the responsible persons in the riot of July 6. Beyond that we are not going. The arrests being made now are by the Sheriff. We have no inten tion of causing the arrest ot any woken." A report was published yesterday that the Sheriff intended to arrest about GO women of Homestead, on the charge of disorderly conduct or inciting to riot This report was positively denied by R. B. Petty, the attorney for Sheriff McCleary. It arose out ol a remark made by Mr. Petty during the trial of Jesse Miller, the boy, before Alder man McMasters Monday afternoon. A Ijlttle Legal Repartee. Mr. Cox said: "Your deputy sheriffs in Homestead are in small business if they can make examples onlv by arresting boys. I suppose the next thing we know they will be arresting women. The wives and mothers of Homestead will be brought into court, I suppose." "So they will," said Mr. Petty, "if they do not behave themselves. " There was no other foundation for the re port, but it caused great surprise aud un easiness in Homestead yesterday. Alderman McMasters would feel discon solate were he to go through one working day without having before him some sort of a Homestead case The best he could do yesterday was to sit on the quarrel of two men who ha-v3,$en working m, the- milis. Charles Williams, an engineer for the Car negie 'Company," 'SdtnrJlained that Henry Wilkey, his assistant, had pointed a re volver at him and threatened to put a ball in him. Detective Weber arrested Wilkey, and after hearing the evidence the Alder man sent the defendant to jail on a charge of felonious assault, to run the gauntlet of the grand jury. BUSY AT HOMESTEAD. Sheriff McCleary on the Ground Three More Arrests Made Troops Taken From Dnquesne single Meal Tickets to Be Issued i New Restaurant. Sheriff McCleary spent yesterday in Homestead. His deputies had been doing good duty for the past three or four days, and their vigilance had produced a marked change in the conduct of the locked-out men, but the Sheriff" spent the day in post ing his men and placing them in the most advantageous positions. The reported con ference between General Wiley and Sheriff McCleary did not come off, as they did not meet till late in the evening, and then for only a short time. No insults -were offered the non-union men while passing along the streets on their way to supper. As announced in yesterday's DlsrATCH, the single meal ticket system will be intro duced to-day. This will allow the men to go out singly for their meals, thus doing away with the "necessity of having the men go out in squads of from 20 to 30 men each, as they have heretofore been accustomed to Bennett, who was shot in the shoulder by Al Price early yesterday morn ing, is rapidly recovering. Only "a flesh wound was inflicted. Price was brought to this city and lodged in jail. Three airests were made during the day. W. H. Williams, a colored barber, was charged with aggravated riot, and in de fault ot bail was lodged in jail. ' T. W. Brown, the first man to be arrested from the mechanical department, was charged with conspiracy, and released on 52.000 bail for court William Murry, on the same charge, secured 2,000 bail "when brought before Magistrate McMasters for a trial iu court Companies E and F of the Sixteenth Reg iment were brought from Duquesne yester day. It is the opinion of the officers that the effect of the withdrawal of the troops on the strikers at Duquesne will largely determine how long tuey will be kept at Homestead. Colonel Uulings said: "While the conditions in the two placts are entirely different, vet I think Duquesne without troops will serve as an index as to now Homestead will be without us." The new restaurant the company is build ing in the mill yard is expected to be In operation by next Monday. Provision will be jnade for feeding 1,000 men here. It will not then be necessary lor many men to go into the town for their meals. The restaur ant will be fitted up ou the most improved plan and will cost $3,000. , IHE HEBO 07 HOMESTEAD, A Man Who Ministered to tho Injured, lte Eardless of Danger. Some of the wounded Pinkerton men en gaged in tbe rececent riot at Homestead told to their physician, says the Youth's Companion, an incident which has not be fore been published. "We were iastened in like rats in a, cage in the boats," said one. "It was not a time to consider who had the right on their side, we or the strikers. But it was kill or be killed, and I fought for my life. The men that were dead in the boat were dragged to one side, and the wounded men lay on deck, tramped over, bleeding to death. If a man's head or any part of him was exposed, he was almost sure to be hit "Then the cry went up that they had turned the oil tanks upon tbe boats to burn us alive. Just then the captain cried out: Is there a doctor here to look after the wounded?' and a yonngfellow spoke up and said: " Tm not a Tegular doctor, but I'm a medical student I'll do what I can.' " 'Set to work,' siys the captain. "So he did set to work, cool as could be, tying and bandaging the men on deck. The bullets pinged past him, and he'd just dodge his head and keep on. "When he had got through with the wounded on that boat, and got them under shelter, he crossed to the other to go to work there. He 'was the only man who crossed from one boat to the other that day. s "I did not'bfttffia-dliKfttMui a yHug. smooth-faced lad He must hare saved many lives.

Plans Maturing for tie- National University at Washington Under the Ausplees or the Methodist Episcopal Church Women's Part In It Two or three years ago a meeting was held at one of the churches of Washing ton, Dj, C, for the purpose of furthering the project of 'a great national university under the auspices of the Methodist Epis copal Church. The meeting was an en thusiastic one.thongh there was a slight dis agreement, scarcely noticeable, in regard to the real reason for the impulse toward build ing a university. Dr. Newman let the cat out ol the bag when ho said in a roundabout that the Roman Catholics were stirring themselves' with so much energy at the Na tional Capitol that it behooved tbe Pro testant leaders to do something if they would not compel Protestants to send their sons and daughters to a Catholic school to get an education. The new Catholic Uni versity had at that time almost finished its first and main building, and had received its munificent donation of near! v or auite JoOO,- 000 from Miss Gwendolen Caldwell, of Bal timore. Well, the result of the meeting was a pledge ot the people of Washidgton that t.hev- wnnld nt lpnqh'rnfsn a mm sufficient to purchase spacious grounds for the new Pro- j icsiaut auair, wuicu buuuiu apecuuv uwuuic a counter-irritant t6 the old Jesuit Univer sity at Georgetowfl and the new Catholic University, irhose'ibuildings are just out side of the northeast entrance to the Sol diers' Home. 1 Vrogrttsot the ProJ-ct. Nearly 100 ncrest of land were purchased in a beautiful situation out at Tenleytown, near Oak View, (ae former country resi dence of President; Cleveland. It is now greatly enhanced ii'value, aud the property in the vicinity has had quite a boom on ac count of it. Little has been heard of the project for a long time, however, and many who did not know that Bishop Hurst, who lis at tne neaa 01 ine management, is not tne man to let any such scheme fail, feared that it was found impos'iible to raise tbe large amount that is wanted to effect the estab lishment ot the grand institntion which it is intended to build up. The work of raising the funds has been progressing steadily, and it will not be long before ground will be broken for the first building. The most recent and lively interest in regard to the institution has been aroused by the an nouncement that the widow of Se'nator John A Logan hod enlisted herself in the work of raising 51,000,000 of the ?10,000,000, which is the sum aimed at, this particular million to be devoted especially to the woman's branch of the institution. As the university is not to be denomina tional, though the project was originated by Bishop Hurst aud has been pushed most vigorously by the Methodist sect, it will interest every woman as well as every man to know that the same provision is to be made for the education of the women of tho land as for the men in every department of the university.

Mrs. Logan is one of the trustees of the American University, and, with Mrs. Soni ers, of this city, another trustee, wasasked bynhe bonrd to Tormulafe soniepIanj far reaching in its provisions, that would ap peal directly to the people of the entire country, and by it raise a certain amount of money, 1,000,000. if possible. Mrs. Logan's suggestion that they form an "American University League has been well received. By it they hope to interest the people in every town and hamlet by the establish ment of societies in every Congressional district They propose during the late.fall or winter to organize a national society in Washington, which will be under the con trol of a national president and vice-presidents, who will represent every State and territory in the union. These vice-presidents will be vested with power to organize a State League and to use the limits ot each Congressional district as their boundaries. All these sub-leagues are to hold meetings of a literary and social nature twice a month, at which the features of the plan will be thoroughly discussed 'and subscriptions re ceived. Each sub-league will have a presi dent, vice president, secretary and treasurer. They will report to their State leagues, who will turn over their funds to the national society, which has power to receipt for the same. All the members of the league will be urged to solicit large subscriptions and endowments. ' A Provision ot the Lengae. The special provision made by the league is that all the money it collects shall be used exclusively for the woman's branch of the university, and with tbe distinct under standing tiiat men and women shall be rec ognized in it on precisely the same footing, either as professors on students, where women shall be found competent to fill the same positions. In the .Boston University this plan obtains in theory, but in practice is lamently deficient No woman yet has been elected to any professorship, although it has long been a desire of tne students, and especially the women among them, that Mrs. Alice Freeman Psjmer, of Wellesley College, be invited to fill a chair. laborers Obj-ct to Ten Hoars' Worlc.

SEPTEMBER 14. 1892L A POLITICAL TWIST Being Given to the Employment of Convict Labor in Washington ON TBE CITY STREETS AND ALLETS Cleveland's Pocket Veto of a Bill That Would Have Stopped It. BEPUBLICAN CAPITAL MADE OP IT ALL rraOK x STApr coKBXsro?nEjrr.i Washington', Sept 13. In their desire to find some means to abolish the employ ment of convicts upon the public streets in the District of Columbia, the labor organi zations of the District bid fair to furnish involuntarily a good deal of good matter for the campaign uses of the Republicans. In the history of their efforts to abolish the system which is being brought out, it ap pears that a law prohibiting the employ ment of convict labor by the Government directly, or indirectly through contractors, was unanimously reported favorably by committees of both branches of the Forty ninth Congress, first session, was passed by both branches, and was killed by President Cleveland by what is known as a "pocket veto." The bill provided "that in all advertise ments for the erection or construction of public buildings or other public works, or for materials to be used in their erection, construction or completion, and for all sup plies of every description to be furnished for the use of any departments, and in all contracts made under or in pursuance of such advertisements there shall be inserted a condition that no convict or prison labor whatsoever, or the product thereof, shall be employed or used upon any public building or other public work, or in the manufacture of any articles, materials or suppljes contracted to be fur nished therefor, and there shall also be in serted id said contract the further condition that no person who is not a bona fide resi dent within the limits of the United States, and who has not declared his intention to become a citizen thereof in the manner pro vided by law, shall be employed in tbe erection, construction or completion ot any public building or other public work; that any willful breach of any of said conditions by any contractor shall authorize and work A Forfeiture of the Contract and shall constitute a complete defense in bar againit any claim or action against the United States tor the recovery ot any sum or sums under said conditions, and it shall be the duty of the officer letting any such contract, upon being advised that any contractor has knowingly violated the terras of such contract, to declare the same forfeited." Looking further into the literature of the subject, it is found that President Cleve land was opposed to the abolition of convict labor on Government work, and declared in favor ot such work in his message to Con gress in December, 18SG, in which he argued that the Government should possess prisons for its own criminals, instead of distributing them among the penitentiaries, as by that means considerable cost of main taining them in State institutions would be saved, "and by employing them in the manufacture ot such articles as were needed for use by the Government, quitea large pecuniary benefit would be realized in partial return for the outlay." In this Mr. Cleveland, curiously enough, appears six years ago to have run counter to the discoveries ot Commissioner of Labor Peck, of New York, who has caused the free traders so much unhapniness by his declaration that the result of the tariff bill is an increase of wages. In the report by a committee orthe-Democrntlc House of tbe Forty-eighth Congress, on the bill above LE TO THOSE JEALOUS Dealers who believe in keeping up exorbitant prices, but EISNER & PHILLIPS' small profit system KNOCKED THEM OUT "TWENTY-ONE ROUNDS."

Peck, Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the State of Hew York, in bis report of January 10, 1884, says: 'Notwithstanding, the fact that this order was made by the Attorney Gen eral of the United States (the order send ing to the several penal institutions of the state its convicts) under a law of Congress.I I was unable to reconcile the idea tnat there was not some more potent reason be hind all, and pursued the line of inquiry till I discovered the disgraceful fact that both the officials ot our State prisons and the county penitentiaries had openly bid for the privilege of maintaining United States convicts' free of all expense to the National Government, and further, as the result of the contract between the Erie county penitentiary officials and the De partment of Justice at Washington, the State of New York Is to-day supporting United States criminals free of all expense to the National Government, and in their inhuman greed to make their penitentiary pay in dollars and cents, two convicts are crowded into one cell and tbe rights of honest free laborers outraged.' "And again, the result of the investiga tions of the Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics ot the State of New York is: 'The contract system ot prison labor is directlv responsible, to a great extent, for the reduction of wazes and loss of employ ment suffered by mechanics engaged in the same branches of industry which are carried on under the contract systems in the prisons:' " Fodder for a Campaign Committee. A committee of the combined labor organ izations of the district will this week pre sent the matter to the Commissioners and at tempt to press on them that they are not bound under the law to employ the work house convicts on Government work, and also that they have no right to place the convict garb on persons committed for a few days for the smallest misdemeanor, and who are often convicted by the hard swearing of an officer who is ambitious to make a case. As the Republican Committee seems to have interested itself in the matter to some extent, it is probable the labor organizations may have such a strong backing that they will accomplish their purpose.
