A Memory Of LATTE,

Mrs. Mary Campbell, the aged
woman who died in Galveston few
days ago, was probably the last surviv-
ing member of Luftte's famous gang
of pirates that infested the gulf of
Mexico in the early part Of this CEN
fury, and preyed oil the commerce of
the nations. She was the wife of La
titte's most trusted lieutenant, and
perhaps was the spectator of many
deeds Of piratical ierocity and rapine.
Her death revives the memory of the
chief Of that band, an intrepid adj
venturer and soldier Of fortune, stig.
matized a. pirate, who delied and re-
sisted the navies of the world until,
for gallant and effective service against
the British in the attack ou New Or
leans, he WIS, with his followers,
granted pardons for pist misdeeds.
To Texans the name of LATTE pos
scsses historical interest, for his
name il associated with many of the
incidents of her early history. Though
his main refuge and stronghold was
Barataria Bay and the numerous small
islands of that archipelago, he re.
sorted largely 10 the security of Gal
weston island and other harbors OF

Tho Benefits of Protection.

The iron manufacturers of the coun-
try to discourage competition and rival
nv ia their business, propose to organ
iae "pool' to regulate the supply OF
the iron output and keep upprices. We
commend this to the careful thought
Of the workingmen Of the country.
How and why IL it that manulac-
tur,rs are in position to combine,
close mills, limit production and put up |
prices to whatever limit the business
OF the country will bear?
The answer does not need to be
sought for it presents itself Our tar
iii ~ stem, virtually prohibitory, shuts
out al! foreign products and secures
home manufacturers against competi-
ton from abroad. With no rivalry to
fear from foreign countries, il is easy
| to control production and prices at
home. The few iron manufacturers
I form combination, pool their profits,
, and when competition and over-pro-
I ducton among themselves threaten
/ TO lower prices, word from the cen
/ trail authority of the combination eX-
I tlnguishes the fire in every furna e,
shafts down every mill, and throws
! thousands of dependent employees out
OF work. Production Is stopped until
the surplus is exhausted and the de-
munds of the consumers put up the
prices OF iron products to Il figure sat
slaciory to the pool, when work is
again Authorized and the mills resume.
This is the benefit a protective tariff
gives 10 the manufacturers. Where
do worllmcn partake of this benefit!
They have no monopoly of work OF
prices. They cannot form combina,
tions to put up the price of labor Ia the
manufacturers do the price of prOiucts,
for there is no protective tariff against
the importation of foreign labor
There is no embargo against foreiy 4
