HERE is what Senator Eustis, of Louisiana,
said to Mr.. Ingalls,.

said to Mr. Ingalls,
81, as q Democrat Of that State. having
taken an active part in every struggle which
that noble people have made. tell you that in
stead of being abashed by your charges and
aspersions, throw them back in your teeth,
and tell you that am proud of what the
people of Louisiana have done in their strug-
gle for home government and for the redemp-
ton of the State. Iapplaud their efforts"
Hurting back has been favorite pastime
with men whose hands are full of the results
of murder and crime; but 'hurling back"
doesn't do away with the facts. The people of
the North viii not always be complaisant
while the blood Of murdered mon is insolent-
ly splashed into their faces by the arrogant
lords Of Southern misrule. Not only the
free men of the North. but the freemen of the
South, as well, will soon come to see that
murder and crime are not good cement for a
peaceful and prosperous Union of States.

The fatal accident on the Virginia Mid
land railroad last week, of which we gave
an account, appears to have been produc-
ed by the parsimony or neglect of the
company. Some OF the wood taken from
the fatal trestle was so rotten that it
crumbled between the fingers. Those who
lost their lives by the accident are now
ascertained to be: W. I'll. Wilmington,
postal clerk, Greensboro, N. G.; G. e.
Cox civil engineer on the road, of Alex
andria; Edward Smith, newsboy, of Wash
ington, D. c.; Miss Alice Tor Fannie)
Brown, of Philadelphia, or Highland, s. c.;
Joseph Mosca, Of Italy; L. G. Cortes of
New Orleans, one legged Confederate
veteran. returning from the reunion at
Gettysburg; r. N. Terrence. of Black s.,
s. C.; and Charles Francis, of Baltimore.
H. G. Brightwell, the mail agent, died at
Charlottesville the next day. Of the
thirty-ive wounded passengers, only two
were badly hurt-W. N. Parrott postal
clerk, of Albemarle, thigh fractured, and
John @. West, of Washington, D. c., also
with thigh fractured. The corOner's jury
brought in verdict that the accident was
due to ''the advanced stage of decay of the
trestle timbers.' This is the first accident
on the Midland road since it was built
in which a passenger lost bis life, though
there have been many in which employees
were killed. This accident will cost the
company 100000 before it gets through
with it. A heavy freight train had passed
over the trestle in safety just before the
passenger train reached it and fell through.

WHAT THEY CALL Il "DAMAG-
ING ADMISSION.D

The Baltimore american of July 10th
under the heading of "a Damaging Ad
MISSION" contains the following comment
on the House debate of the day before:
''The Democrats squirmed terribly under
Mr.. McComas' pointed questions, but were
finally compelled to admit that, while they
denied miners, manufacturers and laboring
men hearing before the Ways and Means
Committee, they sent for Havemeyer the head
of the sugar trust, and Parsons his attorney,
and conferred with them"
On turning to the COnqressioaal Record
of July 10Th we find the following official
report Of the damaging admission"
Mr.. McComas-Yes; you would deny
hearing to the iner and manufacturer and
the laboring man, while you would give it to
Mr.. Havemeyer, the leader of the sugar
trust.
Mr.. Breckenridge, of Arkansas-That is all
stuff.
Mr.. Mills-We never denied anybody.
Mr.. McComas-You did not deny him.
Mr.. Mills-We never denied anybody. We
would not deny you, and the statement is
false.
Mr.. McComas-You gave him hearing.
Mr.. Mills-We did not deny anybody.
The charge, it will be seen, was prompt
ly pronounced "false," and yet the Amer
ica'a calls it an admission. We presume if
Mr.. Mills had characterized McComas'
charge as blank lie the american would
have called that full confession.

dollars day and roast beef" was one Of
the cries with which poor workingmen
were deluded by the tariff-mongers in the
hard cider campaign of 1910. One dollar
a day and very little beef are what the
poor miners in the anthracite coal regions
Of Pennsylvania are getting in 1888.

this year vote the Prohibition ticket.
One of the latest accessions to the ranks
of tariff reform, is Judge Frank T. Reid, a
leading Tennessee Republican, and the
nominee of that party for Governor in
1884, when the Republican ticket received
the largest vote it ever received in Ten
nessee. He says he will vote for Cleveland;
that he still believes in the creed of the
Republican party, with the exception that
he no longer believes in the doctrine of a
high protective tariff.

THE EFFECT OF 4 LOW TARIFF
ON FARM PRODUCTS,


It would almost seem waste of words to
tell the farmers and workingmen of the
country that they can prosper better with
light taxation than heavy one-that
in his pocket than dollar taken out of it,
But the long continuance of the war tariff
by the Republican party and its cutlery
that the reduction of the high tariff would
be destruction of the home market for
farm products, has led many farmers into
confoundlng High Tariff with Protection,
and into believing that there can be no pro-
lection and no home market without a
High Tariff. Let US lock at the effect Of
low tariff through the historical account
given by statesman who certainly can
not be accused of being an enemy to
Protection. 1t is an extract from Given
ty years in Congress-" book of which
the Hon. James e. Blaine is the author.
He says:
"The tariff in 1916 was yielding abundant
revenue, and the business of the country WAS
in a fourishing condition. Money became
very abundant after the year 1S49, large enter
prises were undertaken, speculation was pre-
valent, and for o considerable period, the
prosperity of the country was general and ap-
parently genuine After 1852 the Democrats
had almost undisputed control of the govern
ment, and had gradually become the free trade
party. The principles involved in the tariff of
1916 seemed for the time to be SO entirely
indicated and approved that resistance to it
ceased, not only among the people but among
the protective economists, and even among
the manufacturers to large extent. So gen.
eral was this acquiescence that in 1856 pro-
tective tariff was not suggested or even limited
at by any one of the three parties which pres
ented presidential candidates. It was not sur
prising, therefore, that in 1857 the duties
were placed lower than they had been since
1872"
Here was an era of LOW Tariff accom-
panied by an era of general prosperity
Let US see what the effect of this admitted
era of eleven years of prosperity was upon
farm products in a section of Pennsylva-
MIA, where there is unquestionably home
market. and the prices of which were as
unquestionably not lowered by the low
tariff. The DoYlestown (Pa.) democrat, :"
published in Bucks county, Pa, has the
following, which is very instructive just
now, and particularly interesting, when
we remember that the farmer of Augusta
county is now selling his wheat at from
rs to so cents bushel:
'sThe price of cereals is the barometer indi-
eating the condition of the farming industry
We have compiled tables showing the price of
wheat, rye, corn and oats for the past forty
years, under three different tariffs, and these
tables throw considerable light upon the rela-
ton of the farmer to the tariff The Walker
tariff of 1916, imposing, we believe, an average
rate of duty upon dutiable articles of about 25
per cent. is the first we shall consider. The
average prices of grain per bushel for ten
years under that tariff were:
