The Rockland Opinion is Informed that
the PRESS does not hold that the protective
system is all for the benefit Of labor, and that
the workingmen get all the advantages of it,
The PRESS holds that the protective sys-
tenn is for the benefit of people in general
without condition of race, creed. occupation
or previous condition of servitude. The
PRESS holds that the manufacturer, the far
mer and the miner and the men whom they
employ derive benefit from it. The PRESS
holds that protection tends to diversified
ton Of industries and thus to increase the
opportunities of the workingman for employ
ment. 1t holds that the country is more
prosperous as whole under this system
than 1t would be under free trade. Now the
revenue reformers of the Mills stripe believe
otherwise, or profess to, and have started in
to break down the protective system. So
long as they make the issue squareIy the
friends OF protection will not complain. The
Protectionists are ready and anxious to meet
it. But what the Freetraders are doing is
seeking to accomplish their purpose by in
direction. They have laid down as one Of
their principles that the staple articles of
food should be free. They apply that prin-
ciple to Northern States, which are Republi-
can, but neglect to apply it to Southern
States, which are Democratic They place
the Northern farmers peas, and beans and

MEAoE,s PROPOSED RETREAT AND
PickETT's FORLORN HOPE.

Notwithstanding the fact that Lee had
failed In his efforts 70 completely dislodge
AeAde, he had secured foothold On theright
and disrupted the left Of the Union army.
This would compel Meade 70 Eight In the
morning, to free himself frol Ewelrs grip,
and Il also left the road opea on Meade's left
for Lee TO move Ground and get between him
and his chosen battle-ground on Pipe Greek,
and also TO secure tbs roads between him and
Washington. At council Of war held on
the evening Of the ID, Meade submitted the
question TO his generals. SIS it advisable for
the army to remain In its present position or
fall backFa The controverted points are,
whether Meade intended to retreat and
wished his ges erals to sanction it, or whether
be desired to Iezzasin on the heights. In the
Investigation before the committee on the
conduct Of the war there was evidence show
ing that Meade intended to retreat at some
time after the army had concentrated on the
heights. To the committee Meads's declara-
ton was made in the following words: 81
utterly deny, under the full. solemnity and
sanctaty OF my oath, having intended for one
Instant to withdraw that azmy. unless the
military contingencies which e-the future
should develop during the course Of the day

Gen. Abnsr Doubleday, the leading par

Of Gettysburg, asserts, on the testimony Of
those who ought to know, that the words

A Piano Boz Of Ouium Captured.

ST. LOUIS June 13.-The surveyor
of port R. D. Lancaster, swooped
down upon piano box at the Wabash
freight depot marked, ''Piano. handle
with care, Mrs. l.. Lewis, Tulare, Cal
ifornia," and deposited it in United
States Government warehouse where
it was opened and found to contain
200 tin cans filed with opium, ag-
gregating 6S5 pounds. The opium
Is prepared for smoking and the duty
on it amounts to ST, $50, and the COM
mercial name amounts to S23, 1915.
Notwithstanding this fact, gum OPP
ium is selling in this city for $3.50
per pound, giving evidence that an I'M
mense amount is now being Struggled
into this country. The matter OF
seizure was laid before Assistant
United States Attorney Hatch and
steps taken to confiscate the contra
band goods. Officials will give out
no information, but this seizure is
apparently a general attack all along
the line and developments are prom
ised shortly that may impllcate
many officials in the custom's service.
So far as could be learned to-day,
opium is shipped to the interior parts
of every state, and from there re-
shipped. until lost sight of by the Off
Gals when the packages land at an
agency out side the custom houses.
That this reshipping may be sue
cessfully attended to it is charged re-

Importaut "a soldiera widows.

Z WASHINGTON, D. c., June 9.-The
president has approved the act of con-
gress providing that pensions hereto
fore or hereafter granted to widows of
soldiers of the war of the rebellion
shall commence at the date of death of
their husband. This legislation favor
ably affects all claims of widows of the
date war, which have been fled in the
pension Office on or after July /, 1880,
and which have been allowed to COM

claims but will not favorably affect
cases of such widows as were filed be-
fore July 8, 1880, and which have been
allowed, pensions having already been
granted in these cases from the death
of their husbands, The commissioner
of pensions gave notice that in the
settlement under this law of claims
already allowed no formal application

Attrooious Outrage.

PTTsBURG, June 12.-An atrocious
outrage is reported from Fair Chance,
about two miles from Uniontown.
Sam Humbert, an old resident of Fair
Chance was assaulted by masked men
at his residence at midnight Saturday
and subjected to great fortunes to
make him disclose where his money
was secreted. At that hour Humbert
who lives alone was aroused by a
knock at his room. In response to
his enquiry as to who was there,
the men outside asked for drink of
water. When the old man opened
the door in complying with their
request he was seized and gagged.
Two rufians then searched the house,
but failed to find anything of value
and whereupon they commanded their
captive to surrender his money and
valuableS. He insisted that he had no
money. The two fiends then built a
fire in the crate and drawing the old
man up roasted his feet until they
were blistered and shockingly burned.
Still the old man protested that he had
no money and implored them to
release him. They threatened to set
the house on fire if he did not confess.
After turning everything in the house
in their search for money they bound
the old man hand and foot and de-
parted. Humbert, after a desperate
struggle, freed himself and gave the
alarm. His neighbors quietly gathered
and organized a searching party to
hunt the rascals down. The fugitives
were. traced considerable distance and
| have, it is said, been located. The COM
| munity is greatly excited over the out
rage and if the perpetrators are found
| the chances are that they will be
treated to a dose of western justice.

Topeka Kas., June PA telegram
has been received by Governor Mar
tin from Brigadier General Murray
informing him of the alarming state
of affairs that exists in Stevens county
on the frontier caused by the railway
bond election. The towns of Woods
dale and Hugotin are located about
two miles apart and a bitter feeling
has always existed, growing out of a
county seat fight. The telegram
gives details of a shooting affair which
occurred in Hugotin. r. L. Jones,
the deputy sheriff. who is a Woods
dale man and is the constable of
Woodsdale township, and another
officer rode into Hugotin and at
tempted to assassinate Sam Robinson
and J. B. Chamberlain, chairman of
the board of county commissioners.
They pretended to have warrants for
arrest of the parties, but instead of
serving the warrants out in the usual
way, they drew reVolvers and opened
fire on the marshal and chairman.
The fire was returned and the at
lacking party retreated. One man
was seriously wounded. The inhab-
itants of both towns we're armed to the
teeth and bloOdshed may follow at

practicable. On the southern side the chief
of artillery, Gen w. N. Pendleton, has for
mally declared that he received orders from
Lee to examine the ground on Meades left, in
front of Sickles' Third corps, with the design
of making an attack there early on the I'd,
and this was the attack which, when deliv-
cred, decided the nature OF the battle. Up
to that time Meade might have taken the
offensive, but the onslaught came with such
Vigor, bringing with it consequences Of such
q character, that attack from the Union side
was no longer thought Of.
Every great triumph in war or in discov-
cry finds a score of claimants for award, and
every failure, every Waterloo must have its
scapegoat. And because Gettysburg was not
q final Union victory, Gen Sickles, who met
the most formidable assault delivered by Lee
ON that field, has been severely criticised,
while Gen Longstreet, who was the assail-
ant, has long been held responsible by the
Confederates for the disasters to the Southern
arms, disasters which date from that attack.

night OF July 1, when Hills corps and Long
streets, all but one division, had arrived.
It was this elevation, known as the Warfield
Ridge, which it was necessary for Lee to oc-
cupy in order to counterbalance the advant-
age that would accrue TO Meade from the
possession OF Round Top, 50 soon as he dis
covered It. All the morning Of the second
day, Warfeld Ridge, Little Round Top, and
the Emmitsburg road remained unoccupied
by any force Gen. Sickles says that he
could not have torestaIlsd Lee on War6eld
