WORK OF A FIEND.

He Attacks q Young Lady on the
Street and Outrages Her.
ASHLAND, Wis, Special Telegram,
AS Miss Lizzie Morrisette was passing
along St. Clair street Saturday night man
stepped out from an old shed and seized
her. After gagging her he dragged her be-
hind the shed, and there accomplished his
devilish purpose, leaving her in state of
insensibility. When the girl regained con-
sciousness she screamed for help, when
some friends came to her assistance and
carried her to the house of her aunt. A
doctor was called and found that the girl
was quiet seriously injured. No trace of
the villain who outraged her can be found,
and the girl herself was SO terrified that she
was able to give no description of him, al
though she thinks his face was covered by .

"A TOWN FL LOODED.
Bayeu Sara, La,, Entirely Sub
merged by the Overflow Of
the Mississippi.
All That Human Effort Could
Do Failed to Stem the lr-
resistible Flood.

Bayou SARA, La, Special. After q most
heroic struggle to save our city from the
food we had to surrender to the great FAITH
er Of Waters at 1890 a. M. At that hour the
guards reported that the levee had given
way at the foot of Fountain street. A gem
eral alarm was sounded and the
people responded promptly to the
call This break was closed, but
on examination it was found that the rising
river was running over the front levee. All
that human efforts could do had been done,
and at last the solemn cry went up all
along the line. "Giveup men; we are gone, !"
and the confusion the people can be bet
ter imagined than described. Every inl-
promptu boat and raft was brought into
requisition. Lanterns could be seen every
where and the cries of men, women and
children attempting to save their effects
was sight that was sickening. Not
q house in town has escaped. The
home Of Mayor Irvine supposed to be the
highest is submerged. Our town is in
ruins nothing but chaos and destruction
meets the eye at every view. To-day it
rained hard, which made the picture more
gloomy. The water is also running over a
large extent Of the Pointe Coupee from the
Taylor levee, which has given way, and the
Fanny Yoor crevasse will probably prove a
t very serious one. The large levees from
the last accounts are intact, but things look
critical.
THE SITUATION DEPLoRABLE.
WAsHINGToN, Special.-In accordance
with the request Of Representative Coleman
of Louisiana, Secretary Proctor has trans
mitted to the house report of Quartermas-
ter General Robinson in regard to the con-
dition Of affairs in the overfowed district of
st. James and Ascension parishes,
La. Gen. Robinson says that
in pursuance to orders he went to White
hall and Convent ST. James parish. Con-
vent is at the lower edge of the great Nlta
crevasse; Whitehall, above it, is further
back in the country He says the situation
is deplorable and hundreds of planters have
lost their crops, while thousands OF labor
ers will soon be thrown out of employment.
At Grande Point. where there were probably
sixty to eighty families the people escaped
in skiffs and the whole precinct is under
water. Opposite the levee break at Nita
numerous poor whites and colored people
lost all but their lives. He recommends In
ferers by the United States. There is liable
to be in St. James, St. John and Ascension
parishes total Of 5000 people destitute
within month. .s.~

TARIFF TALK
How to Protect the Farmer.

Mr. George G. Ward in his article,
"IIow Can We Protect the Farmer" made
some statements, in defense Of the tariff
and trusts, which are founded upon In
complete truths, and eau not be sus-
tanned by the true principles Of political
economy, without the proof that spolia-
ton is to the best interest of the people
and the prosperity Of the nation.
/ shall proceed upon the principle,
that when we look 10 the interest OF all
subjects, we are always compelled TO
reason upon this maxim, that equdL 0diUe
results from liberty,
We cannot stop at a cause and It's inn
mediate effect; for we know that this
effect may in lbs turn become itself
cause. To Judge Of q measure, Il Is nee
cssary that we should follow IL from step
10 step, from result to result, until
through the successive links Of the chain
Of events we arrive at tho final effect.
Mr.. Ward says, "A tariff is powerless
to protect the farmer from competition in
foreign markets"
We will say that Is true; and more
the tariff ia powerless TO protect him
from the necessity for foreign market,
and forbids him the exchange Of equal
values.
Again he said: "Indirectly the b.otec-
tive tariff enhances his prices and re-
duces his grain for foreign export by
preserving intact for American labor the
opportunity to manufacture the goods
consumed by American citizens, thus in
creasing the ability OF labor to purchase
aud consume the products Of American
farms"
The advocate., 1890-07-30

The existence of theae trusts II Is not
necessary oproye They are admitted by
all prOteotionists. There Is a Dtcls trust,
textile association, a coal trust, lum-
her trust, aud 80 on for every protected
industry Of any Importance. by shutting
out foreign competition, Of course gives
American manufacturers a chance 70 put

! here give list Of these trusts with
The average rate OF duty by which each
Is protected: Salt trust, 80 per centum;
carthenware trust 5G beasemor steel

paper bag trust, 35 cordago trust, % per
Centum. ....
Onevery RlOO Of the proceeds Of salos Of
the above trusts, the tariff, on an average
guarantees a bonus Of $50, The average
wages paid is e2i, thus leaving a bonus
OF 20 over and above the entire wages
paid. TO this we will add the natural
protection Of 5000 miles Of ocean trans-
portation; with a request to know how
long the tariff must be kept above the en-
tire cost Of labor and interest on capita
in order 10 secure "homo market" 70

does not secure extreme cheapness in the
cost Of production TO any greater extent

Mr.. Ward said:

We do not intend 10 defend the demo
cratic party, but we wish TO be ON the

price aud wealth.
There are two kinds Of dearHess aud
two kinds Of cheapaess, There h bad
deamess, which results from diminu-
ton Of tho supply; for this implies scare
10y and privation. There Is good dear.
ness-th that which results from an in
creased demand; for this indicates the
augmentation Of the general wealth.
There is also a good cheapness, result
Ing from abundance; and there is bane-
ful cheapness such as results from the
cessation Of demand the inability Of con
sumers TO purchase.
Mr.. Ward also claims that the tariff
and trusts are restrictive.
Now, observe this. Restriction causes
at the same time both the dearness and
the cheapness which are Of a bad nature;
a bad doarness, resulting from u dlmlnu-
tion Of the supply (this indeed is the
avowed object, and a bad cheapness, re-
sulting from dlmlnutIon Of the de
mand; because IL gives n false direction
to capital and labor, and overwhelms con
sumers with taxes and restrictions.
In order 10 protect the farmer you oc-
casion a scarcity Of wheat in behalf Of
other industries; by tariff restriction, you
produce a scarcity Of iron, cloth fuel,
tools, etc.-in short, a scarcity OF every
thing.
If, then, the scarcity Of wheat has
tendency TO increase the price by reason
Of diminution Of supply, the scarcity OF
all other products for which wheat ia ex.
changed has Likewise tendency 10 de.
preciate the value Of wheat on account Of
a falling OIL Of the demand 80 that II Is
by no means certain that wheat will be
mill dearer under protective tariff
than under a system Of free trade. This
alone is certain, that inasmuch as there
is a smaller amount Of everything in the
country, each individual will be more
poorly provided with everything.
] can perfectly we'll understand that
restriction will diminish the supply Of
coal, and consequently raise lis price;
but / do not as clearly sec that il in
creases the demand for labor, thereby
raising the rate of wages. This is the
less conceivable to me, because the sum
of labor required depends upon the Quan.
tity Of disposable capital; and protec-
ton, while It may change the direction Of
capital, and transfer il from one business
TO another, cannot increase il one penny.
We may put down in an inventory
three bushels Of wheat at 81, or four
bushels at 75 cents, and sum up the nom
inal value Of each at SO, does II thence
follow that they are equally capable Of
Contributingto to the necessities Of the com
munlty!
Wemustconcede that price is not a good
criterion OF wealth. II might continue
the same when society had relapsed into
extreme misery, or had advanced 70 a
high state Of prosperity.
Mr.. Ward tells us that the farmers pro.
duCed 470,5G0OOO bushels OF wheat last
year, 1889; and Of this vast amount Of
wheat we exported 12O,OOO,OOO bushels
In grain and -four, or sent abroad enough
