Heavy Damage co Property.

WILLIAMsPoRT, Pa, June 6.-The people
here are a little easier now that apprehen-
sions of suffering from hunger have been
disspated. Several cars of supplies brought
up yesterday evening" are ready to be un-
loaded and the work will begin some time
to-day. The river is now down to seven
feet at this place. The body
of Calvin Miller, who was missing
since the Maynard street bridge went down,
has been found four miles below here. This
makes two lives only lost at the Maynard
street bridge instead of the large number
falsely reported drowned there. Advices
coming show that the loss of roperty is
very heavy in all places near here. Morris,
Tioga county, is total wreck. Many mills,
dwellings and other buildings were swept
suffered greatly. At Hollidaysburg much
damage was done. Bridges We're carried
away and great destruction was caused at
every point. All along the line of the Phila-
delphia & Reading road in this city de-
struction meets the eye. The number OF
houses taken away or demolished can not be
stated yet but it is quite large. All along the
entire river front from Pine street and back
TO the heart of the city are piles OF debris.
Clothing, which has been called for, IS
badly needed, as so many lost all but what
they had on. Some of the large mills are
still filled with people, and freight cars and
improvlsed shantles are occupied by others.
Tents sent will be extremely welcome, but
they may not be obtained in time to get
them erected to-day. The weather is cold
at present.
Word has been received from the Crescent
Nail works, on the Northern Central rail
way, that the place has been nearly all
washed away. Many houses and part of
the nail works are gone. The people took
refuge in u church on the side of the hill, and
are left entirely destitute. Most of the men
of the town have gone to work along the rail-
road, helping in repairing it, but their fam
lilies are staying wherever they can find

1t is the same in regard to shipping

Nearly all of the feasible approaches to

ANOTHER VIEW OFT,

The argument that protective tar
if is in many, very many, instances
prOmotIve, or directly productive of
trusts, is met with the answer that
trusts and com binations exist in arti-
cles on which no tariff is imposed.
From this, one is asked to to infer that
the tariff has nothing to do with
trusts. In making this point, nothing
of course is said about the injustice of
a manufacturer who is a beneficiary of
the people, who is voted a subsidy by
them in the form of duty that pro-
tects him against competition from
abroad-nothing is said about the
monstrous ingratitude of such a pub
lie beneficiary organizing schemes to
rob the very people who tax themselves
/ for his benefit. The Irvine trust is a
case in point. Uuder what obligations
are the farmers of the nation to the
twine manufacturers that they should
maintain tariff to protect them?
How have the manufacturers shown
/ their gratitude for the protection
given them? Why, by combining to
fleece their benefactors.
There is tariff on copper, yet by
their own testimony the copper men
prove that they can produce more cop
per than the country consumes, very
much of it at a cost of six cents a
pound. Yet, they went into a combi-
nation with some French bankers fol
the purpose of selling copper at thir-
II n foo nT
undertaking and the bankers
dropped several millions. Not
Isatisfied with the profits
} they were making with the aiC
of protection, they must so fufther and
add 100 per cent more to them. Many
of these copper men scarcely know
their wealth, SO vast is it. Their ra
pacity and shameful ingratitude to thu
people who haYe done SO much TO
them moves even the New York Tri
bune to say that if these gentlemen
: 'enter into combination for the bene
fit of foreign spectators and banker
r against the intesests of American pro
ducers, the duty. on copper may no
last long, The idea of a few enor
mously rich concerns making prof
of sc, COZ, 600 year by such methods, il
as the Tribune thinks, more than tn
people will or ought to stand.
1t goes further, and says that tn
: tariff generally should be reduces

served" Wherever trust or com
bination prevails in aprotected article
lowering or removing the tariff is it

THE blessed home market appears
to be rather lop sided. Here we are
according to an official report Just
made by the agricultural department,
exporting ten per cent of our farm pro-
ducts, or more than any other nation.
Is not this proof direct and positive as
we'll as official, that there is not an
other farming community in the world
whose home market is not better than
that of the American farmer? Where
in then consists The beauty of our
home market. In this, that the farmer
is compelled to buy at home whatever
he wants or must have. While the
price he gets for the nine tenths of his
stuff sold in the home market is fixed
by the price he gets for the one tenth
sold abroad, the price he pays for
manufactured wares bears no relation
to the price of the same made out of
this country. The home manufacturer
would consider it a peculiar hardship
to be compelled. as the farmer Is, to
regulate the price of his wares accord
ing to the price of the foreign article.
He is more fortunately situated than

THE Kansas City News asks whether
or not the fact that Marshal Jones was
a democrat, while Marshal Needles
was republican, had anything to do
with the different treatment accorded
both men. Why no, of course not.
The reason why Jones had to submit
his head to the axe was, not that he
was any guiltier than Needles, but be-
cause several hungry patriots were
after his scalp, while no one pursued
his republican fellow marshal. The
first principle of civil service reform as
now administered is that the hungry
shall be fed. As it is also scriptural,
Marshal Jones and his democratic
friends have no right to complain if he
is made sacrifice for the good of the
cause.
