Trade Rerie,o upon the movement origin.
ating here and eliminating in the organi,
cation in New York of an association oi
capitalists to secure reciprocity with Can
ada in the matter of reduction of the
duty on coal and iron ore. He writes:
The subject of the treaty of reciprocity
with Canada in respect to coal and iron ore
has not been brought to my attention, but
my first view is entirely against such a
treaty. We have plenty of coal and iron
ore In this country now, protected with a
comparatively low rate or duty, and l see
no reason to disturb it. Indeed, the whole
protective system is now more in danger
from its friends than its enemies. The
manufacturing interests are beginning to
regard coal, iron ore, pig iron, wool and
other articles of domestic production as
raw articles not to be protected by duty. If
this new doctrine should get foothold
III would destroy the whole protective
policy of the Government. The rule of
protection must extend to all labor alike
to the labor of the farmer in producing
wool, to the labor of the miner in digging
coal, and if it is denied to the farmer and
miner it can not justlyobe mai attained in
favor OF the manufacturer. 1t is labor that
Is to be protected and not capital. It is
indeed more important to develop the nat
ural resources of the country in produc-
tlon, mining and the manufacture of such
articles as wool, iron and coal, than to pro-
tect the higher forms of production where
cheap labor is indispensable.o

Attempted Murder of a Detective.

JACKSON, MICH, February s.-A few min
utes after seven o'clock this evening Detec-
tive Brown, of JonesvilIe, who has been en-
gagged on the Crouch murder case for some
time, and has been operating in the neigh
borhood of the Crouch farm, was shot while
returning to the village of Horton. He was
walking leisurely along, about one and
half miles north of the. village, when he
met two men in a buggy. They stopped
and asked if his name was Brown. Upon
replying in the affirmative one of the occu-
pants of the buggy placed a revolver at his
breast and fired, the ball entering near the
heart, and lodging near the shoulder blade.
Brown fell, and the men drove rapidly
away. The wounded man, however,
was able to arise, and, after walking about
ene-quarter of q mile, two young men from
this city happened to be going towards
Horton in a buggy, and conveyed the de-
tective to that place, where he was proper
ly cared for, and, although the wound is Sc
we're one, it is thought it will not prove
fatal. 1t is reported here tonight that
Judd Crouch was seen in the Village of
Horton about dusk, and Brown thinks the
man who shot him looks very much like
Judd. The most intense excitement pre-
walls upon the streets, and the people of
Harton and vicinity are almost wild over
the occurrence. Officers and others are in
search of the would-be murdererS
