Free Traders False PreteiSeS,

A free trade contemporary in
forms us that the manufacturers OF
wooden goods are almost unani-
mously of the opinion that free
wool would enable our manuiac-
turers to compete in foreign mark
cts.
This attempt to obtain a reduc-
ton of the tariff under false pre-
lenses is repeated again and again.
The false assertion that our man
ufacturers are shut out of foreign
markets by the high tariff contin-
ues to be made in and ont Of Con-
gress, in face of the fact that all
imported materials used in manu-
featuring for the export trade are
already duty free, and have been
for years past.
Sections 3Ol9 and 1920, United
States Revised Statutes, provide
for the remission of duties on all
foreign materials used in manu-
featuring for the export trade.
All articles, the law says, manu-
featured for export from imported
materials, upou which duties have
been paid, shall, when exported,
be entitled to a drawback of 90 per
cent. of the duties paid.
The duties RENTED in 1891 on i'm
ported tin plates used in manufac-
turing tinware for foreign markets
amounted to $Sl9,377; on raw SUI
gar refined and exported, 1881 $50,
molasses, S1GS, 40; steel and iron,
Sl1s,079; copper, S2b5s2 ; wool,
s23,iS5; lead, 1929, and lumber,
S19,4G.
The total remission of duties IN
1884 on imported materials used in
manufacturing for foreign markets
announced to s., 1868 and yet we
are told that we cannot manufac-
ture for foreign markets on account
of the high tariff on raw materials :
These free traders know very
we'll that the United States has
never imposed tariff duties on i'm
ports intended for consumption be.
yOnd our own boundaries.
The first tariff law, signed by
President Washington Juiv4 {, 1889,
provided that all goods imported
for consumption in foreign coun-
tries should, when exported, be en-
titled TO a drawback of99 per cent.
of the duties paid. And the prn.
ciple then established has since
been applied to all imported arti.
cles used in manufacturing for the
export trade, the drawback varying
from 90 to 90 per cent. on different
articles.
1t has from the first been the OBJ
ject of our government to keep it's
export trade free from vexations
and embarrassing restrictions. Our
tariff and internal revenue laws in
terpOse no obstacles to the purchase
of raw materials. AS a matter of
fact, however, more than 90 per
cent. of their materials are pro.
duced here at Unconstitutional Re.
publican.

about 4 o'clock, wrecking seven
houses. Trees were twisted
around and carried off as if they
were straws. The only person hurt
here was a boy, and his injuries are
not serious
The inter Occan's Council Bluff
special says: "a cyclone struck the
town Of Coon Rapids yesterday
afternoon and laid it in ruins. The
telegraph wires are all down. Fifty
houses were blown down.
ST. CLOUD, MINI, April TO-
The city is filed with visitors from
all over the state. Farmers have
come in from thu surrounding dis
tricts by scores, and apparently
have no other business than to
look over the ground so lately visit
ed by the cloud of devastation. A
report comes from the lower p0r-
tiOns of Douglass county, just
south of Alexandria, that three
farm-hOuses were torn down by the
wind. Farmers from the northwest
part of the county tell almost in.
credible stories of finding remnants
of buildings on their property
twenty miles distant from the city,
and portions of organs and pianos
have been picked up fifteen miles
from the city and brought in as
curlo'ities. The prairie for miles
northwest of the track of the cy-
clone isfull ofpieces ofplank driven
a foot or more into the ground,
which gives limited idea of the
terrible force with which they must
have been driven by the wind. The
sides of many of the buildings are
pierced with heavy splinters. In
the walls of other buildings holes
are noticeable that seem to have
been made by cannon balls. Panels
have been torn from the doors, land
with this exception the buildings
seem TO have been untouched. In
other places window panes have
been blown out and the sash IN.
touched. The walls of many Of the
buildings have a blackened ap.
pearance as though they had been
fired and badly smoked. \ box
car was picked up from the track
and blown three blocks and drop.
ped into a ravine. The fatal end.
ing Of the wedding party near Rice's
Station forms one Of the saddest
features of the wholesale destruc-
ton Of life and property. The
party was assembled at the resi-
dence of John Schultz, a farmer,
to celebrate the wedding Of his
daughter Mamie, and the ceremony
was performed about one o'clock
by Rev. Gustavus Smith. The
afternoon was spent in social en-
ioyment, and at four o'clock the
party gathered about the wedding
feast. 1t was u happy assemblage
of nearly forty people celebrating
the bridal festivities for the favo-
rite daughter of the house. The
cyclone came, and in the space of
five minutes the house was convert
ed into kindling wood and scatter
ed all over the farm. Of the happy
party of a few minutes before ten
were dead and many others in
jured, several Of whom will die.
There was not a building left in
which the few survivors could care
far those not past help. The bride
COON was killed outright, but the
bride was only injured. Nothing
has been done towards removing
the wreck in eithrr st. Cloud or
Sank Rapids. The loss of property
in Cloud is estimated at $4,000
and in Sank Rapids at S2SO,OOO.
The wreckage on the railroad is
estimated at $40, 900.

Boston, April 2O.-SlXty pupils
of the South Boston public schools
struck Yesterday for single SEES
sion. They marched in procession
to the city proper, where they tried
to persuade the pupils Of the Gum
cy and Brimmcr schools to join
them. Failing in this, they re-
turned to South Boston, where
they had several banners painted.
This morning they again assem-
bled, and standing in line across
Beach and Kneeland streets, pre-
vented other boys from entering
the school house. They were dis
persed by the police, bnt met an
hour later, and, with flags and ban
ners flying, marched to the Semi
nary and Brimmer schools, singing
and yelling. Before dispensing they
opened the windows OF the Brm-
mer school and stoned Mr.. Mason,
the assistant master, failing, how
ever, to hit him.

One Of LOtta's Rings.
PhiladelDllia Times

Lolita, the actress, has received a small
fortune IN presents from many unknown
admirers. Many of the presents were
sent to her without her having any knowl-
edge of the giyer. Two seasons ago,
while playing an engagement in this city,
bouquet was thrown on the stage at one
of the performances, and tied in the cord
was a diamond ring. As Lolita had fire.
quently received rings in this manner,
she thought nothing in particular of the
manner in which the gift reached her.
Yesterday Clark J. Wood, of the commit
tee of the estate of Isabella Jennings, an
alleged lunatic, 46 years old, brought suit
in common pleas court, No. 3, against
Charlotte M. Crabtree, otherwise known
as Lolita, for the recovery of diamond
ring, the committee claiming that Miss
Jennings was lunatic and that she had
given Lolita ring while of unsound mind.
Later in the day the suit was withdrawn.
Mrs. Jennings owns $4,000 worth of
land at Atlantic City, claiming against H.
j. d G. R. Crump, proprietors of the Col
onade hotel, and some jewelry in the pos
session of Mrs. Crump. Lolita says that
she knows nothing about Mrs. Jennings,
and does not know whether she received
a diamond ring from the alleged lunatic,
and James Il. Haverin, Lotta's counsel.
says that anyone who loses a ring or de-
sires to obtain one can make similar
claim, and that Lolita has no desire or in
tention of unjustly Withholding the prop
erty Of any one

number who were anxious to go with
them. They carried poles with them nine
feet long; in other respects everything
went as usual, even to the regulation but

Mr.. Frederick Clissold describes a mar

notice as the first who boldly disclaimed
all scientific motives for making the at
