EVEN THE protectionsts themselves dom
pretend that any other sort of labor except
that employed in mines and factories is pro.
tected by the high tariff If factory labor Ia
protected by the tariff, the percentage OF
cost of labor in the immense shoe factories
of Massachusetts should certainly be greater
than that of similar labor in counties in
which the so.called foreign pauper labor is
employed. But facts don't sustain that
theory. 10 the consular reports of the 18th
inst Consul schenhof publishes carefully
prepared statistics of the cost of labor in the
shoe factories of Massachusetts, Germany,
Austria and England. by which it is demon.
strated that the per centage of cost of labor
in any of the three latter is almost double
that in the former. The weekly wages of
the shoe makers in Lynn are more than
those of the shoe makers in Berlin, Vienna
and Leicester, to be sure, but one shoemaker
in Massachusetts makes twice as many shoes
in week as his fellow craftsman in any of
the other mentioned countries.

WILD EXCITEMENT.
'Old Hutchs" Manipulations Cause Furry
on the New York Exchange.

NEW YORK, Sept 29.-Probably never
before in the history of the produce ex-
change has such scene of wild excite
ment been witnessed in the the neighbor-
hood Of the building as took place when
the market closed today. During the day
the one subject of conversation was the
Hutchinson Chicago wheat corner. The
New York market, however, was scarcely
affected by the western squeeze, and closed
in conformity with the Saturday half holt
day law at noon, at one to five points higher
than Fridays close. Even this advance
was attributed to higher cables from
Havre and Hamburg rather than to ''Old
Hutch's'' operations. When the gong
sounded for the close Of change about
two hundred wheat brokers were
congregated around the pit hurredly sell
ing and buying wheat; many transactions
were interrupted by the gong. A large
number of brokers were reported to be
short of the December option and rather
than to be caught determined to risk an
infringement of the exchange rules. No
attention was paid to the signal and bid
ding went on Uninterrupted. When the
excitement was increased by a telegram
from Chicago stating that 'Old Hutch"
had threatened to send the December OPP
ton up to $3.50, nearly $4,000 bushels
changed hands. After the excitement had
died out no one would admit that they
had traded after the gong sounded.

by masked men, died yesterday. Wash
Arnold, John Dawson, Mason Williamson

last five named have been arrested, and

examination today before Squire J.
X. Wilson, of this place. but on &C
count of the absence of the prosecuting
attorney in Illinois the matter he's been
postponed until October 5. Arnold made
his escape and fed the country. After a
full investigation of the case it appears
to have been very unprovoked and das-
tsrdly murder. Denton's statement, as
made to al attending physician, is as fol-
lows:
"A noise at my door woke me up, and I
asked who was there The only reply given
was that they wanted to get in. l refused
tc open the door, which was finally
battered down, and as they came
in they said: Throw up your

$50 yards from the house. and one of them
struck me twice with stick. / jerked
out my knife and said that they could kill
me. but they could not whip me. / struck
at one of them with my knife. l was then
shot from behind. They ran away and
left me, and l made my way back TO the
house"
While the evidence against the parties
in custody IS only clrcumstantial. there is
very little doubt in the minds of the peo-
pie as to the guilt of some of them, while
it is believed the others will be able to prove
