The last issue of the Creencastle
Banner contained the following para
graph: "Kimble's furniture factory
IS kept running during the dry term
by water hauled in wagons. This is a
good argument in favor of water
works. What the town needs is man
ufactories, but these cannot be had to
any great extent until we have good
and reliable supply Of water. The
want of the last is at present the great
est drawback we have to our prosper
ity."
While the paper containing the
above was being worked from the press
a conflagration which consumed half
of the city, and had its origin in that
very factory, was in progress, and on
the day that the fire occurred COM
mittee of the officials Of the city were
examining the water-works and fire
department of Louisville.

several thousand people are engaged
in fighting.

Greencastle fire was subdued this
morning, but the woods between this
city and that are blazing with undl-
minished fierceness. Fears are enter
tanned tor the safety of Carbon min
ing town of about 400 inhabitants, on
the Indianapolis and st. Louis Road,
it being supposed that the fire is COM
ing through the forest in that direc-
ton. If it get near it will certainly
be very disastrous, as the woods run
close up to the town limits. The for
est all about the town is here and
there broken by coal works, which
will certainly be destroyed if the con-
fagration continues. Calcutta, anoth-
er mining village, is also in danger:
CLEVELAND, Ohio, Oct. @.-The
woods in the vicinity of Geneva, Ohio.
have been burning to-day, causing
great excitement among the citizens
who turned out en- masse to fight the
flames. The fire is still burning, but
is under control. About forty acres
are burned over.
nThe residence of Charles Hill, a
mile and a half south Of Geneva was
burned this afternoon. Loss, $4,000;
insured for 81 200.
| NEWCASTLE, Ind, Oct. 29.--The
fires in the wUuds near here are still
raging with undated fury. West of
here ten acres of corn and south four
acres have been burned. Fences,
timber, and cordwood are going in
large quantities. Every person able
to work have been fighting fire for the
past thirty-six hours.
HARTFORD CITY, Ind, Oct %
There is a terrible fire raging in the
woods just south Of here, fully four
miles in length. There is heavy
wind blowing. The fire is along the
track of the Fort Wayne, Muncie and
| Cincinnati Railroad, and is threaten
| ing track and bridges with destruc-
ton. Reports from Keystone, a few
miles above here, state the same state
of affairs there.
CINCINNATI, Ohio, Oct. 29.-The
recent severe drought in Ohio has re
suited in numerous forest fires in va
rious parts OF the State, which the
heavy gale of yesterday famed into an
extensive confiagration. All the way
from Denison to Morrow, on the Pan
Handle Road, a distance of 160 miles,
the woods are ablaze. The worst
point is in the woods five miles be-
yond Columbus, near Newark. The
bottom woods are burning, while at
Morrow the forests are ablaze to the
tops of the highest hills. Between
Union City and Greenville, in Darke
county, hundreds of acres of woods
and fields are covered with flames.
No estimate can be made of the dam
age done, but it is great The inhab-
itants of the village are fighting hard
to save their property. Passengers
arriving in the city describe the sight
along the railroads as indescribably

The Free Traders have rung the
changes upon Protection, pig iron,
and Pennsylvania, until some sim
pie folk think that the Tariff is
made for pig iron alone, and that
nobody has any interest in it out
side of Pennsylvania. The simple
truth is that the interests of Penn
sylvania are worse cared for in the
tariff than those of any other man.
ufacturing State, and this is the
principal cause of the financial
troubles of the country. The duty
on pig iron was reduced in 1870 to
81 per ton. In 1872 ten per cent
was taken of this, making the duty
So 80 per ton. It may somewhat
surprise our readers to know that
at the time these acts were passed,
the prices in England being taken
into account, these duties, if con-
verted into advalorems, were very
much lower than the rate of thirty
per cent, fixed by the odious free
trade tariff of 1876, for which Mr..
Dallas is not yet forgotten: That
the duty is somewhat better now,
is owing to the fact that it is spe-
cifc, and that the price of English
iron has gone SO low that an adva.
loren duty would be of little con-
sequence. From 1916 to 1928, the
duty on pig iron was $40 per net
ton. Then it stood for while at
$3.50. 1t was subjected to the
reduction under the Compromise
tariff of 1888, but was restored in
1912 to SO per ton. This was
changed in 1876, and though the
men who made the tariff of 1916
were not protectionists, they showed
more friendship for pig iron than
their successors, who revised the
| schedule of custom duties in 1870
and 1872.
We are not complaining about
the matter, but we want the facts
to be known So far as duties are
| concerned, pig Iron has very
black eye. We are told that fur
naces have gone out of blast be-
cause production has outrun de
mand, and it may be so, but when
demand springs up, who will sup
ply it, Will our furnaces be blown
in, or will the English take our
MARKET If we hold our own
against them, it will not be for the
reason that pig iron is protected.
The duty on pig iron has been
the theme of Congressional, which
is only surpassed by clerical, wit,
and has inspired eloquent il Dig
nation. Asper aspirated it, Beck,
beloved it, Cox coruscated it and
SO it went down the alphabet. An
allusion to pig iron and Pennsyl
vania is deemed sufficient answer
to any tariff argument. The joke
never wears out. Age cannot
wither it, nor custom stale its inf
mite variety. That pig iron, in fact
is not protected, seems to make il
all the more pungent.

WASHINGTON, April 8, 1856.
DIR. FORsHA-Sir: Before you start West
can do no less than thank you again for
your excellent and successful treatment OF
my son. He had been sick for many weeks.
under the care Of a medical gentleman OF
whom have high opinion, Tor his learn
Ing, skill and experience, and yet he was
Eot cured. HIS disease, suppose without
certainly knowingl,, was brought on by
overstraining, in artillery exercise, in very
hot weather, at West Point. When he
came into your hands, his breast bone lone
side at least was protuded some two inches
beyond its proper position, attended with
dlfhculty of breathing and frequent palms.
By the application OF your medicines and
your personal practice, in less than week
the bones were reduced to their proper po-
sition, the pains ceased, the breathing be-
came easy and regular, and, as far as I can
Judge, he is restored to his accustomed rO-
bust health and activity.
Besides this within my own knowledge,
have heard of many instances of extraor-
binary cures effected by you, in cases Of
very dangerous wounds.
Very respectfully,
