The South Rend Tribune mentions the
case of an old carpenter in that city w ho,
on the Sit of May, 1S.S, did a day a work
for one of the local merchants and also
bought some goods ot him. The bill for
the gocdi was as follows :
-.11.1.-,
1.13
- 1.0
- .M
It yard. in. 1;', r

--H10
The carpenter got tl..r0 for bis day'e
wroik, deducting which from the bill left
liiin in debt to the merchant fZ.iiO. This
n good old Democratic time, nnder
a tariff for revenue only. If the transac
tion I ad taken place on May 8, un
der Republican protection, the carpenter
would Lave revived instead of $U0, f-1
for his day's labor, and Lis purchases
would have ost bim f l.'2 instead of
4.10. Instead of coming oat f-.M in
debt be would have bad Lis goods and
f 1.4S in cash.
The Democratic platform adopted at
Chicago at the late National Convention
contains the following declamtion re
grdicg protection to American indos-
t-ifs:
We denounce the Republican protec

majority of the people for the benefit of
the few.' We declare it to be a funda

And that there may be no n-isconcep-tion
as to the position of Lis party and
tb true intent and 'meaning of this
plank, Henry Wattcrson, the leading
Democratic politician of the Socta end

Here art seme of the items in Lis o31e:al re

He find- that in the wholesale manufacto

He finds that of ?T in-lustrlea investigated

He Hnda that the number of individual

lie find" that the average increase in the
wags of the entire OuO employees repre
nttd wa? rJ3.ll, while in fifty-one of the
trades represented the aTeras increase in
wa?es per individual was f43Xi.
And this is what causes consternation in
the rai.ts of Democratic Free Traders who
are conducting Cleveland's camflgn.
The iuestioa naturally arises : How did
this report become public property in the
midst of a can-.;.aign, the chief aim of which
among the Ikmocracy, is to show that tie
McKinley law if a failure ? On'y one man
can anr-wer this David B. Hill. Mr. Hill
b not a l!ltver in the Democratic free

Grover Cleveland dtfeatcd Mr. Hill for the
Presidential nomination, and Mr. H.ll is
getting even with Grover Cleveland. It Tas
Mr. Hill who, after Lahor Commirsioner
Teck had consulted with LLn, advised the
publication of the Labor Commiajioner's re
port at the time. Mr. Hill well knew the
e9ect it would Lave on Cleveland's chances
in New York. He knew that once the proj-s
under the free trade platform were removed
the whole structure would tumble, and Le
very adroitly removed the props, with the
result that platform and candidate are in the
mud, and the Lemocratic pa;ers are admit
ting that New York is a doubtful Democrat
ic State. Jlven an admission of this kind
could not have been wrung from them two
months ago. They now see their cause is
hopeless. What Peck found has proved to
be a club that pave Democracy a brain clout
And David B. Kill wielded the dub.
Free Trade In United States.
The New York Sua, a Dsniocratic newspa
per which believes in protection to home ir.
doatriPS, makes a goud point in replying to
a correpondeut w ho a-ks : " Wouid it not
be better for At.ierica to come out boldly for
free trade, rather than to induce through a
high tariff the settling here of a lot of for
eign manufacturers, which, in my opinion,
is free trade under another name."
"The querist," says the Swi, in reply,
"does not seem to be aware that the United
States is slready the greatest free trade conn
try in the world, since among its ality-flve
millions of population, including the fjob,
there is the most entire freedom of trade,
without a M:i!r!eC-jMotn HousS on any di
viding line between States or seclion."
A consideration of this fact will empha
size the importance of the imm?a home
market poses"eJ by the Viiited States, a
point which the Free Traders are proae to
dismiss wilh a sneer, but which is a very
imronant factor in the debate between Pro
tection and Free Trade.
The Sun then states the general question
for the btneli: of the questioner in these
words :
"The ordinary common sense of the case
is that it is a great advantage for every coun
try to manufacture within its own limits
everything that is necessary to human exist
ence and comfort. The country w hich Las
t import articles of necessity from abroad
is weak in conx-qaence ; because in time of
war it may be entirely deprived of these ar
ticles. Accordingly, it Las ever been a great
object with statesmen to bring every practi
cable manufacture within the boundaries of
their own governments. The more manu
factures, the more varied the industries car
ried on in any couatry, the prVr the de
mand for agricultural products of every sort,
and the more satisfactory the reward of the
farmers who raise them.

Attorney General Miller this afternoon
in rtionse to a request from the Pisident,
submitted to him an opinion as to tte au
thority of the executive in matters of quar
antine regulations. After quoting the laws
on the subject, the attorney general conclud
ed a' follows :
"The policy ofCorerefV Las apparently
been to merely leave this branch of the pub
lie service with the Slates, and most of the
seaboard States have statutes more or less
elaborate on the subject. The State statutes
and regulations, however, may be supple
mented by the national exicutive. Mv con
clusion, therefore, is tbat the surgeon gener
al of the marine hospital service and the
secretary of the treas iry, with your approv
al. Lave authority to make needful rales
and rpsru'ations, not inconsistent with the
S'ate laws and regulations for the quarantin
ing of sh;ps coming into onr harbors, with a
view to the protection of the health and
lives of our j onple."
The postmaster general has issued the fol
lowing order :
"Thes-ijrintendentof foreign mails is
hereby icitructtd to immediately take such
steps as may be necessary and practicable
to thoroughly dislaftct the mails reaching
the United Slates from foreign jorts at
which contagious diseases are said to be
prevailing, and to facilitate safe mail com
munication between vessels undergoing
qtiaran'ine and the nearest United States
postufuce."
Measures have accordingly been taken to
procure the thorough disinfection of incom
ing mails from infect?d ports. Telegram s
have alio been sent with direction of Post
master General Wanamaker U postmasters
at lV.roit, Buffalo, Cleveland, Port Huron,
Suspension Bridge, Burlington, Vt,, and all
other important points on the Canadian
frontier, directing thera to consult with the
local health otlieers and ascertain whether
there is any necessity existing at present for
the fumigation of Canadian mails crossing
the border into the United States. An order
Las b.-en issued by the postmaster general
extending mail facilities to ships at quaran
tine, and a limited number of collections
and deliveries will accordingly be made
each day.

Holiday For AIL
The Adam Forepaugb Shows this season
give promise of surjassing any tented exhi
bition ever wilnessed in tbtJ country.
The principal feature of the shows this
year is the production of the historic Bible
spectacle, "Fall of Nineveh," which has been
added to the regular standard features of the
shows at a cost of J"iO,0), and which will
surpass in grandeur and completeness any
spectacular production the world Las ever
seen.
The originator, antbor, designer, and
painter is none other than the renowned ar
tist, Rettig. During the past winter Ret tig
has personally superintended the painting
of all the superb scenery, which will require
several sj-ecially built cars to carry it. Over
one thousand people will be seen in the pro
duction on the largest stage ever constructed.
In addition to the "Fall of Nineveh'' the
regular circus performance will be even more
attractive than ever. Nearly ail of the ring
feat ures and aerial acts are selected from the
best foreign talent aud brought to this coun
try expressly for the Forepacgh Shows.
There will be a greatly enlarged menagerie
and as a specially pleasing innovation all
the four Lundred or more superb thorough
bred horses will be on exhibition forming,
in tct, a huge horse fair, which, wilh the
Menagerie, Circus, Hljpodrome and Specta
cle, places the Forepaugii Show at the head
of all tented exhibitions.
Special arrangements Lave been effected
with every line of travel for cheap excur
sions to the shows. Any station agent can
give all neceiia-y information regarding time
and rate schedules. As these shows are this
year really unprecedented in magnitude
and merit they are well worth a journey
esjieciahy when it can be made so cheaply
and conveniently.
This big show in its entirety, with its acres
of tents, Lundreda of horses, complete an J
superb menagerie, huge hippodrome, and
the great spectacle, "The Fall of Nineveh,"
will exhibit at Johnstown on September 10.
Everyone should arrange to be on Land
early, in order to witness the glitteriug street
pageant which will occur each morning at
10 a. in.

Haeeisdl'bu, Sept. 4 Fear is expressed
among political leaders that all the necessa

quota of oooths.
Four factories are at work in this State,

All booths, ballot boxes, guard rails and
tables are shipped by the contractor to the
Board of County Commissioners at the

Panic on a Steamboat.
riTTsBfEo Pa., SepL 3. As the excursion
steamer City of Pittsburg was passing Home

ed " scab" at the workmen in Carnegie's
mill. A number of soldiers quickly board
ed the tugboat Tide and started for the City
of Pittsbnrg. The two boats collided, and
the militiamen made a bayonet charge on
the excursionists. In the rush a woman
was Knocked down, her leg broken, and sev
eral internal injuries ii. dieted. A scene of
the wildest excitement followed, which soon
developed into a panic. Women fainted by
the score, and four children were trampled

at midnight bas been cleared op. Farmer
George Ada-aa, the man who found the ties
on the tracks and removed thera just as the

fifty miles per hour, confessed to day that
he put the obstructions on the tracks and
took them off again in the hope gaining
handsome reward from the Pennsylvania
company.
Detectives Cowl and Lazarus, of the rail
road com-jany, thought the whole affair was
a fake. They got into the confidence of
Adams, who gave the snap away. He said
be shot himself in the leg, and after putting
two bullet boles in bis hat hid the revolver
an ler tonie ties. He batted his Lead up
agai ust a fence and bruised himself to give
color to the story that he bad an encounter
with the train wreckers.
He also scattered some of his blood a1 org

eeneral state elections of lM-Oregon in
Jure, Lonsiana and Rhode Island in April
and Alabama early in this month. Ia each
the results showed Republican gains over
the previous election.T Oregon went Repub
lican by an increase of 729, Rhode Island by
an increase of 3,C9I, and in Alabama the
Democratic loss was 101J'3.
The next general flection will be held in
Arkansas on Monday, September 5, when a
Governor will be chosen .
On Tuesday, September 6. Vermottl will
elect a Governor. The Democrats are mak
ing strenuous effrts to redo ce the Repub
lican majority in that stronghold of Repub
licanism. Maine will follow on Monday, September
12. The leading orators of both parties will
speak in that state in the meantime, and the
result there for Governor and Congressmen
will be watched with that keen interest
which Maine elections alway9 elicit in Presi
dential years, although the results are some
times misleading.
Georgia is the only October state this year.
Her state election will take place on Wednes
day, October 5, and the Farmers' Alliance
will contest Iemocralic supremacy. The
other states will all bold their state elections
on Tuesday November 8, the day of the
Presidential election.
