Uncle jerry Rusk is still pursuing his

he has gotten down to the root of the
matter in one respect at lcast-he feels
that tho farmer is entitled to as much

what he says:

of protection as the other follows. II they

ANOTHER WRECK.
A Wild Freight Dashes Down a
Grade ON tho @. & O. Road,
Passing Through n Sleeper on an Inter
secting Track, Smashing 1t Into
SE!nters-t Dozen Passcn-
gers Painfully and Seri-
ously Injured.

A serious accident occurred early FRI
day morning at Junction City, KY,
where the Knoxville branch of the Lou
isyillo and Nashville crosses tho Cincin-
natl Southern The place is about four
miles from Danville. A freight train
went crashing through sleeper-car, cut
ting it in two, and tearing the two por-
tions almost into splinters. The eleven
passengers in the sleeper were tossed
about, and all were more or less injured.
The list is as follows: ii. T. Tousley,
of Belvidere, ILL.,, hurt about the head
and possibly injured internally. 7. j.
Wheelock, Of Findlay, O., slightly
hurt about the head and neck. D. B.
Shaler, wife and son, of Findlay, O.,
all slightly bruised. Mrs S. w. Wheeler
and little child, of Milwaukee, Wis.
Mrs. Wheeler's knee badly hurt and the
child's head badly cut. N. Austin, of
St. Paul, Mimi, who was taking the re-
mains of his mother to Cincinnati for
interment, badly cut and bruised. Thos.
Ii. Coleman, of Hornersville, N. Y, arm
slightly hurt. II. Kicks, a colorod porter,
OF Cincinnati, hurt in tho back. C. II.
Crockett, another colored porter, also of
Cincinnati, both legs hurt. II. b. Mears,
the engineer, and Fred Graves, the fire.
man of the freight train, stunned and
painfully bruised. The cause of tho
accident was the inability of those in
charge of the freight train to control
the brakes. II. NJ. Mears, the engineer,
and Fred Graves, tho fireman, stood to
their posts, although their engine left
the track and almost ran into the l.. and
N. freight office, distance of nearly
lifty feet. -Four freight cars were de-
molished and the engine badly dam
aged. The freight train plowed its way
throught the sleeper and then loft tho
track, running into the freight depot.
How the occupants Of the sleeper escap.
ed instant death is n mystery, as the car
was almost wholly demolished, cspec-
tally the end in which Mr.. Tousley, of
Belvidere, H., and Mrs. Wheeler and
her little daughter were sleeping. Mr..
Tousleys berth was right in the track
of the freight engine, and his escape
was miraculous. He was struck in the
head and picked up for dead, and never
regainod consciousness until after his
wounds we're dressed. The case of Mrs.
Wheeler and little baby was particular
ly sad She had been on a visit to friends
in Atlanta, Ga, and was returning homo,
intending to take her father by surprise,
and the first intimation of her coming
was when he received the message an.
nouncing the accident.

THE COAL COMBINE.
An "Infant Industry" That Receives Sooth

An "Infant Industry" That Receives Sooth-
ing Sirup From DIR. Mckinley.
The protectionists in Congress pre-
tended to be afraid that slight reduc-
tion of tho duty on coal would be disas-
trous to our coal mining industry. The
duty was accordingly left at 10 cents o
ton.
What happens? The coal men from
the West and East meet in New York
and 'lX" the prices of coal for the win
ter and determine the quantity which
shall be mined in October. At this
meeting the Western men decide to ad-
vance prices % cents ton at Buffalo
and 10 cents at Chicago and other lake
points on October |. The Eastern men
order an advance of 40 cents a ton on
stone, 90 cents on nut and 10 cents on
broken sizes The quantity to be mined
in October was fixed" at 3, 500, 900 tons,
against 8, 712, 900 for October, 1889. They
determine arbitrarily that tho produce
ton shall be 219, 900 tons less for sin.
gle month in order to sustain their in
creased prices.
The coal men must have read that
passage in McKinleys speech in the
Tariff bill whore he says: 1--WE want no
return to cheap times in our own coun-
try" and must have determined to take
him at his word. Low prices are, ac-
cording to McKinley's idea, to be
avoided and even legislated against; and
tho coal combine agrees with him pre-
cisely.
One class OF people at least will not
agree with this notion of Mckinley and
the coal combine-the great working
masses of this country who live
in towns and cities; all those,
in fact who shall need to warm
themselves during the winter
by coal fire. They want their coal to
be as cheap as possible, whatever Nc
Kinley aud tho coal combine may think
about the beauty and excellence of high
prices
How long is this thing to go on? How
long are the men who havo monopoly
of Gods earth to bo allowed to meet to.
gcther and decide that the working
millions of this Nation shall have only
certain quantity Of the nocessaries Of
life, and only at prices which they
themselves have arbitrarily fixed?
More than that how long are these
working millions going to sustain tho
political party which makes such things
possible?

WHERE A FARMER WINS.
Usurious Interest Charged by Security
Companies Forfeits Principal and Inter

The Arkansas Supreme Court handed
down an important decision Saturday.
Some timo ago Hardy NJ. Banks, farm
cr of Yell County, negotiated a loan of
$1,000 from the New England Mort
gage and Security Company and tho
Corbin Banking Company, of Boston.
The loan was made through Broker
Ocobock, of Memphis. The sum Of
$500 was taken out of the principal
for interest, and Banks was paid only
$500. In return the farmer executed
notes and gave tho Security Company a
mortgage on his farm to secure their
payment. The notes came due, but
were not satisfied, and proceedings for a
foreclosure were commenced in the Yell
County court. Banks lost the case and
appealed to the Supreme Court. Satur-
day decision was rendered against tho
Security Company. The court held that
the interest charged was usurious, which
fact forfeited the principal and interest.
The farmer is ahead just $500.

Three Months Old, Weighing Twenty.
-Four Ounce,-How the Mites We're Kept
Alive.
About three months ago pair OF
twins were born at the Retreat for the
Sick, Norfolk, Va. The birth of tho
Lilliputians was kept great secret un-
til few days ago, when their existence
leaked out and now it is much talked
Of. 1t seems the mother deserted tho
little creatures three weeks after they
were born, and up to this time nothing
has been heard from her. The matron
OF the Retreat for tho Sick, Mrs. Morris,
3 Baltimore lady, has adopted them.
She has named them Maud and
Mabel. The children weighed at tho
time Of birth one and one and half
pounds respectively. They were kept
alive for woeks by the application Of
bottles of hot water placed under cotton
batting. The strangest Fart of this
story is that Mabel has only grown half
a pound in two months, and at this time
on.y weighs one pound and half. She
is-'n1uestionably the smallest three.
months-old child in tho world. Maud is
stronger than her sister and has from
the time OF birth been healthier. She
weighs two pounds. 1t has, of course,
required the most skillful treatmont
to keep life in these littlo ones and
Mrs. Morris has become thoroughly
attached to them. She believes they
will live.

Tie same thing Is much more true OF
cDrn. We imported only 1926 bushels
last year, nearly every bushel OF which
came across from Mexico at FL Paso.
Texas Mckinley has, however como
to the rescue of the farmer by putting
up the duty on corn in order to shut out
that pitiable sum of 1,626 bushels Will
any farmer be better off now?
But the protected manufacturers buy
from the farmor?
Yes; they do-and at the lowest FREQ

farmers continue to be humbugged by
this "home market" nonsense. Tho

This call for protection for farmers"
is one of the greatest humbugs Of tho
age--and that for the simple reason that
there is absolutely no way TO protect"
the farmer. You can frurt MIN BY pro.
tecting other people; but you can't help
him by protecting" him. That is all
poppy-cock.
But Uncle Jerry Is right in saying
that the farmer is entitled to the same
measure OF protection as the other fell
lOwsr'
OF course; nothing could be more just
But let us suppose that such a scheme,
in which all could be protected alike
to the same extent, could be put into OPP
GRAFTON. Now then, how would "fair deal"
work? Uncle Jerry's protection means
higher prices for ones produce or ones
manufactures-or else ID means nothing
at all. If the manufacturers are to be
benefited to the exteflt of 81, 900, 900 by
protection they car get their extra
profit only by charging higher prices to
their consumers who are largely the
farmers,
Now, then, let us square the account
by making the "fair deal" 1t is clear
that the farmers must be benefited
81, 900, 900 to counterbalance their loss.
Where is that 81, 900, 900 to come from?
1t ought to come from the manufact-
urers who are benefited, else the ''dear'
is not fair Grant that it does come
from them-and where are you? Any
thing gained? Have you gone one inch
further up the hill? Here is the account
