RIGHT By CHANCE Mr.. Blaine de-
scribes the Presidential campaign rs one
more conflict between England and
America Mr.. Blaine is right. A pro
tective tariff which taxes raw materials
and makes it Impossible for American
manufacturers TO compete with English
manufacturers in an outside market is
decidedly in the interest OF Great Britain

No SEMBLANCE OF FREE Trade
There is not the semblance of free trade
about the Mills bill. On the contrary, its
protective duties are higher than those
made by Clay in 1912 and by Morrill, and
Kelley In 1861, although less protection
is needed now. 1t aims to benefit home
enterprise and home labor and to enlarge |
the markets for American labor by cheap |
ened products without cheapening labor

HAILsToNEs As Bro AS HENS EGGs-l
Browns valley, in Minnesota, has just
been visited by terrible storm of hail
Hailstones as large as hens eggs fell
rapidly for an hour, cutting down all the
standing crops and breaking window
panes and such glassware as happened to
be exposed. Many persons who were
caught in the storm received severe
bruises and several were knocked into
an insensible condition. The roofs of
houses and barns were broken in and
many cattle in the fields were killed
