ACCIDENT Last Saturday Mr..

severe accident, caused by a rum
away horse. DIR. A. S. Reynolds had
driven to Mr.. Billmyer's farm, and
after hitching his horse had taken the
bit from its mouth. Mr.. Billmyer, not
knowing this, got into the buggy and
started to drive to town. The horse
became frightened and started off at a
lively rate. Mr.. Billmyer had no
control whatever of the animal, and
as it turned corner, going at a very
swift pace, the buggy was overturned
and the occupant thrown out and
dragged considerable distance. He
sustained some severe cuts and bruis-
es and received general shaking up.
The buggy looked as though it had
been in a cyclone.

THE TRUTH ABOUT PROTECTION.

Whenever a word is said about the
desirability of revising the tariff in
some way that will keep American
workingmen busy, or at least save them
and their families from starvation, some
devotee of protection jumps up. .wriggles
into the robes of an alleged prophet,
and roars "Woe, woe!" In reply to
one of these bugaboos the Boston Her.
aid says:
The truth is, and the workingmen
as well as their employers are
beginning to see it, that the war taxes
on the necessities Of the people and the
essentials of manufactures have been
retained too long. No enemy of Amer
ican industries, had the power been
given him, could have kept them in a
worse condition than they have been in
for ten out of the last twelve years un-
der the care of their professed friends
and champions. Profits and wages
have steadily declined, the protected
industries suffering first and most Sc
verey. Accumulated stocks and en-
forced idleneSs have been the natural
results of over Stimulation. If freer
trade shall not give to this country,
with its great natural and institutional
advantages over all other countries in
the world, more than two years of real
business prosperity out of twelve-as
we have not had since 1S73-the advo-
Gates of that system will very frankly
confess that their theories are wrong,
and seek for a remedy outside the field
of legislation.
But TO charge that those who ask for
reduction of the taxes on universal
necessities, like sugar, salt, iron, crock
cry, clothing, lumber, wool, and who
insists that the crude materials necessa-
ry for our manufactures should be OBJ
tainable on the terms enjoyed by their
competitors, are enemies of the work
ingman and foes of American industry,
is 10 insult the common sense of intelli-
gent voters. There is an honest differ
ence Of opinion as to what will pro-
mote and conserve the interests of
labor and the earnings of capital, but
that political party should make war
on both, or seek to injure either, is
simply preposterOus.

WHAT Is THE MATTER WITH THEM
IFrOm the n. Y. Herald. |

The Herald has already called atten-
ton to the neglect of manufacturers to
respond to request by Secretary Man.
mng tor Information which would en-
able him to remedy abuses charged by
these very manufacturers against i'm
pOrters. They do not answer the ques-
tiOns. Why not! Do they realize that
their silence Is causing suspicious very
uncomplimentary to them? Do they
read the papers? lfnot, we offer them
for their benefit, the information that
paragraphs like the following, which
we clip from the Burlington Uowa)
Gazette. are cropping out everywhere:
"Every protected manufacturer in the
country received one of Mr.. Manning S
circulars asking suggestions concern
ing simplifying the tariff. Not one of
them, we are informed, has made an
swer. This silence is significant. 1t
is evidence against protection. 1t
shows that protection can be no more
justified by facts than by logic"
