DEATH OF INVENTOR ERICSSON

! DEATH OF Inv ENIOR ERICSSON.
New York Press, 9th inst.
Captain John Ericsson, inventor of the
Monitor, the submarine boat Destroyer,
the submarine gun, and a number of
other valuable auxiliaries to scientific
warfare, died early Yesterday morning
at his residence, 80 Beach street. of
Bright's disease. He had been i'll lit
tie over two weeks, but his condition
was not considered precariOus until last
Tuesday. His end was peaceful. and
he was conscious to the last.
Capt. Ericsson was born over eighty-five
years ago in the Province of Wernland,
Sweden. He came of family of engi-
neers, his brother, Niles, and his neph-
ews having gained renown in Europe by
the originality of their engineering featS.
At the age of 10 he constructed minia-
ture saw mill and pumping machine
that attracted great attention in Sweden.
At II he entered the Swedish army as
an ensign and was rapidly promoted for
the ingenuity displayed in getting up
plans of Notifications and maps Dur
ing his early manhood he was to Europe
what Edison is to America. He invent
ed in three years forty different mechani-
cal cOntrivances, twO-thirds of which
were patented.
In 1889 Ericsson came to America
and in 1871 began to build the Prince
ton, the first naval vessel to carry her
machinery under the water line and out
of the reach of hostile shot. This vessel
caused the reconstruction of the fleets
of the world.
The plans for turreted vessel of the
style of the Monitor had been offered
by Ericsson in 1854 to Napoleon III,
and in 1861 he proposed the construc-
ton of the vessel to the United States
Naval Department. The proposition
was accepted, and the most exacting
conditions were designated IN the con-
tract The Monitor was launched, with
steam machinery complete, 100 days
from the laying of the keel plate, and
arrived in Hampton Roads just in time
to defeat the Confederate irOnclad Mer-
rimac, which had destroyed the Cumber-
land and Congress, and was about to sink
or disperse the rest of the governments
wooden fleet.
Mr.. Ericsson was not wealthy man.
His will, which is in the hands of his
executors, leave the bulk of his prop
erty to heirs in Sweden.
Capt. Ericsson lately expressed wish
to be buried at his birthplace in Sweden.
for which he had much affection. In
the yard of the house in which he was
born the people of the town have erect
ed beautiful monument, bearing the
inscription, John Ericsson was born
here" as a mark of their gratitude to the
great inventor, who some years ago sent
$4,000 to be distributed among them
during famine.

TALKS ON THE TARIFF.


New York Press
Mr.. John COnsaluS, wool commission
merchant of Troy, n. Y, will do the
tariff talking for The Press this morning:
At the present time all eyes are turn
ed to the Secretary of the Treasury,
waiting anxiously his action in regard
to the barefaced evasion of our duties
permitted by the unprecedented rulings
of Secretary Fairchild, which have caus-
ed our markets for the past three years
to be deluged by fraudulent importa-
tions of foreign goods and secured woods
and clothing woods at carpet wool du-
ty. Secured woods in all manufactured
forms are permitted to enter at the same
duty rate as old rags, and every pound
worth as much as, or more, than our do
nestle secured of like quality. Every
pound of product of manufactures
should have been claSsed and assessed
as a manufactured article of wool. Over
100000 pounds of fine secured manu-
/ factured Australian woods have entered
our ports as waste" the past three
months Our Custom House officials
caught the free trade spirit of Secretary
| Fairchild, and have allowed and invited
large fraudulent importations. All this
has been permitted under a Democratic
reform administration. What a mock
cry on government has been perpetrated
in the name of reform! The people are
now waiting for Secretary Window to
act.
! The wool business of this country has
been paralyzed by the gross and open
| frauds permitted by the rulings of Sec
retary Fairchild. His trained minions
in the custom houses have been Dem
Ocratic cesspool for thievery and fraud.
and have proved stencil to the nostrils
of every true American. The first step
for Secretary Window to take is to stop
at once all these fraudulent importa-
tiCns. As it is, it will require months
to clear our markets from the incubus
of these large fraudulent foreign impor-
tatiOns.
The Press never claimed that ''the
only difference between the cost of
goods here and in England is in the price
of labor here" This is true of some in
dustries, but could not be true of all un-
less the facilities of the two countries
for getting raw material were exactly
the same in every case.
1t is not only possible to make goods
as cheaply here as in England without
reducing wages to the English standard,
but it has been done in large number
of cases. This is largely because pro-
tective tariff has diversified our indus
tries creating many new kinds of indus
tries), and thus increased the demand
for labor. If there are two factories
bidding for one mans labor in protected
industries it makes no difference what
wages the foreign competitor of one of
them pays; the American has to Outbid
the other American in order to get a
man.
Again, by reserving the home market
for American producers by means of
protective duties, they are enabled to
count on definitely large demand, and
can consequently go into production on
a large scale. This means reduction
of the cost of producing each unit of the
thing produced.
