Bnt we enjoy the spectacle of the
Tribune cunning for trusts, Gil the same.
Il has now broadenei its field of opera
tions aud, instead Of turning its whole
battery on the sugar trust, is opening a
bombardment all along the line. Even
the philsnthropio and benevolent Oar
negie, that liberal friend and protector"
of American labor who seldom makes
more than one 20 per cent out in wages
RnnuAlly--because he would rather yield
. little than see his old hands shot down
by PlnkeIton rifemen--oom In for o
pretty hard rap. "Who are the enemies
of the protective system, thenP" asks the
Tribune, and goes on to reply; Those
who unreasonably reduce the wages of
labor" That shot hits Carnegie. ''rhose
who combine to close part of the
works in any industry" That hits trusts
all around. Those who force consumers
to pay higher prices for products"
There's nut for the men who ship
ploughs AMI resping machines to Canada
and saws and other hardware to Mexico,
to sell OF free trade prices, while chang
ing the home consumer all that the tariff
will allow. Here ars some more extrsots
from the same Tribune editorial, which
indicate that there is big load Of straw
in the wind
II was argued that the natural and free
competition OF the producers woull render
II impossible 10 extort unrsasonBble profits
and would inevitably push down the cost
Of products to the lowest point consistent
with the health, growth and prosperity Of
tbs industry. The facts appeared TO the
people TO sustain this reasoning. But how
would It have been II the producers, thul
assn cd OF the home market, had banded
themselves together to stop competition
cose part OF the works and raise prices?
| IL clear enough that such combination
might have been profitable TO the pro
ducers 1t least for time. But their obvion
Intention would have been TO deprive tn
people Of the benefits promised BY the pro
rective system. II. instead OF encouraging

Every day brings something new. The
New York Tribune now soberly informs
its cradulous readers that the inospacity
of the Dolphin was the cause Of Higgins

control Of the Senate to the Republi-

that victory was the closing OF q great
shipyard by the bad faith and unjust
partisanship of Mr.. Clevelsnd's admins.

that Roach's shipyard was located some.

not so muoh to blame after all,

aware appears to be forbidden ac-
complishment in New York newspaper
offices. They even mp matters every now
and then by removing the Wilmington
ship. yards to Philadelphia, and viii
mington itself to Pennsylvania, Mary

Tribune may be psrdoned for Its geo.

7. 10 the Republican owners OF iron
working establishments in New England
from whom the loudest cry for free raw
materials will go up to the next Congress,
and it will be interesting 10 observe what
attention it will receive from that body.
It may be set down as hardly probable
that such an appeal coming from such
source will be dismissed with an admoni-
tion to the petitioners to go and read
again that plank of the Republican
netional platform which pledges the party
to free whisky and free tobacco in pref.
erence to the surrender OF any part of the
protective system. Such brlsque
treatment might do for Democratic petit
TONERS, but request 70. free raw mate

The party, with the exception OF a half
dozen who returned home this morning,
went to Johnstown and looked over that
desolate place. All is life and hustle snd
dust there, but enough Of the wreck re-
mains to give lifelong impression to all
who visit there. The Pennsylvania rail-
road, which runs along the Juniata river
east OF here for nearly 100 miles and west
of here along the Oouemaugh for fifteen
miles, affords enough proof even from
the car windows TO sustain the strongest
and longest detail of the horrible food
that has yet been published. The re-
mains OF the numerous bridges, which
the Pennsylvania company is now re-
building with even greater than its
original care and skill, are sufficient evil
denoe not only OF the Oonemsugh flood,
but also of the foods of Central Penn
sylvania. At Johnstown the excavation
goes on smain. Dead bodies are being
found daily. The sewage of the place is
necessarily very poor and much un-
pleasantnt ss of odor is the consequence.
Relic hunters still haunt the piles OF de-
bris, while the points OF interest are
shown to the visitors by old men and
women who have pitIful tales OF personal
loss to relate. II is most touching to see
some Of these bereft persons still hunt
ing for lost relatives. The party met
one old man who was looking for his
wife. He was snatched az il by miracle
from the common deluge, leaving his old
help. mate to go the bottom. Nothing
can detraot him from his single purpose
of finding the body of his wife. He is
one OF many whose minds were shattered
even more than their bodies by the great
catastrophe.
Efforts at rebu Hiding in q temporary
way are being made in some parts OF
Johnstown, but in large district OF the
city the only work doing is the attempt
to discover the lines and beds Of the OBJ
liberated streets and determine building
lines. II does not look as II Johnstown
will ever be restored-certainly not by
the people who are the survivors
CT it's once busy and thrifty populs-
ton. The most of them are seeking
other places 70 begin anew the strug-
gle for life or success. Others, discon-
ISOLATE, Respondent or heartbroken, haunt
the ruins or the obliterated sites Of former
homes with energies paralyzed, hope
gone. There are exceptions, however,
and some instances where ruined people
have gone to work with grit and deter
mination and nerve that even such a
calamity has not subdued to rebuild and
restore amid the wreck and ruins.
Some Of the Peninsula editors found
interesting relics among the ruins, which
they brought away as trophies of the
visit. One thing very striking WAS the
wonderful resources of the Pennsy lvanis
Railroad Company, which in so short Q
time got the road in so excellent oondi
ton for its immense travel and traffic
after they bad miles and miles of bridges
roadbed and track washed away.

We have established limited CONNER
eial reciprocity with one little spot on
the face Of the esrth--or rather water
the island Kingdom OF Hawaii, with a
population but little exceeding that of
the city of Wilmington. Yet even the
trade which has come to us from this
small community, under more sensible
regulations than we accord to any other
people, has been sufficient to throw
great deal OF business in the way Of the
shipbuilders, manufacturers and mer-
chants Of San Francisco. The GAZETTE
has previously told Of the new boats
which have been built there-almost the
only ones on the ocean that fly the Amer
lean flag--to accommodate the growing
traffic with this island community. In
the July issue Of the Paradise Of the
Pacific, Honolulu paper, we find an
article bearing on this trade, from
which we clip the following: "Nearly rs
per cent Of our imports come from the
United States Groceries, provisions,
clothing, bats, boots and shoes, dry
goods, lumber, grain and machinery are
the largest items on the list. Fully 30
per cent of all our foreign trade is with
United States, and the Pacific ports come
in for nearly all Of this. 1t is the result
of the reciprocity treaty of 1876. and it
will be seen that this country (the
United States) is not only good buyer
of our products, but that American job
bers find our merchants are good custo.
mers" Yet, with this example before
us, we will not put forth our hands to
take our geographical share of the
$500, OOO,0 trade Of South America
but content ourselves with beggarly II
per cent leaving the more enterprisint
English and Germans to divide the
balance. What we have done in Hawai-
we can do in South America, under tn,
same common sense trade policy.

officer, and Lieutenant Swinburn, the

He never knew that no man was at the

before the court. He heard the
soundings reported regularly from
the seaman casting the lead and
OCCASIONALLY from the cadet who had
the other lead. When the ship ran into
the fog bank he ordered the top gallants
down and called all hands on deck and
gave the order to cast anchor. AS the

who was soon able to do two days work
