Prices Under Protection.

Mechanics are Interested in the price and
and efficiency of TOOLS as all heads of fami-
lies are in the cost and utility of articles OF
household hardware and cutlery. Once all
these were imported. Their home manu-
facture has been fostered by Protective
Tariff in the face of an opposition as vigor-
Gus as 1t was..untiring, until to-day the Unit
ed States is well up OH the list of nations ex-
porting certain lines of hardware in which
superiority of finish and durability in use
are prominent recommendations.
A few years ago select committee OF the
British Parliament, after careful investiga-
ton, enumerated forty two articles of hard
ware and machinery in the selling of which
Americans had largely superseded English
manufacturers i'm certain markets, including
such as axes, scissors, penknives, lamps c0f-
fee mill, nails, clocks, watches, tableware,
&c., are those common and necessary to
every family The list also included such
farming implements as buckets, corn crush
ers, cultiyatOrs, cotton gins, hay rakes, hoes,
moving machines, scales, &C.,
1t can thus be seen that British statesmen
and manufacturers have found out that pro-
lection i'm the United States has not made
prices too high for outsiders to buy, no mat
ter what their agents in this country may
contend in their efforts to have our markets
opened to unrestricted foreign competition.
And in its demonstration of economical pro-
ductiOn under Protection is to be found the
chief value of the fact cited by the parlia-
mentary committee. 1t must not be per-
mltted to lure voters from recognition of
the fact that the foreign market is necessari-
ly restricted by the limited wants and power
ty OF buyers, as well as the desperation of
those competitors whose trade is thus NEIL
aced. No foreign demand for American
manufactures can be made to compensate for
the privilege of supplying the home market
With certainty Of this home market, at
prices consistent with the payment of fair
wages to employees, competition between

to American buyers the best of products on

Tremendous Explosion with Three Proba-

MANSFIELD, o., June 4.-Yesterday dur
ing a heavy storm lightning struck Tracy
& Avery's powder house, located about a
mile east of the city. The house is said to
have contained two tons of POWDER
which exploded, causing tremendous re-
port. Hundreds of windows in the city
were broken; china and glassware was
knocked from shelves, and people thrown
from their feet Many buildings in the
vicinity were badly wrecked. Two frame
dwelling houses on the opposite side of the
street from the magazine were leveled to
the ground, scarcely anything remaining
to show that they were dwellings.
Baby Killed, Two Others Fatally Hurt
One of the houses was vacant; the other
was occupied by Henry Roost, his wife
and two children. The husband was alb
sent at the time of the explosion. A g.
months-old babe was instantly killed, it
being mutilated beyond recognition; the
mother and other child, 2-years old, were
blown over hundred feet away and are
thought to be fatally injured. Nothing
remains of the powder house; the bricks
are scattered in all directions, some being
found a quarter of mile distant The
explosion was heard ten miles distant.

WAGES AND PROTECTION.
Facts from the Wage Tables of the Ma!
sachusctts Labor Reports.

Facts from the Wage Tables of the Mas
sachusctts Labor Reports.
The wage tables of the Massachu-
sets Labor Reports are always interest
ing reading for the light they throw on
good many mooted questions. They
are especially interesting for the light
they throw on the proposition so conf
IDENTIFY made that the tariff increases
wages. A comparison of the wages paid
in some of the highly-protected indus
tries with those paid in the industries
which enjoy little or no protection
shows that the claim so often made in
behalf of the tariff is utterly untsnable.
The paper industry, for instance, en-
rows less protection than any other
| great industry Of Massachusetts. In
| the wages tables of the labor report Is
per cent. of the employees in this indus
try are represented. OF these it appears
that nearly so per cent. get $40 and up
wards per week while nearly % pei
cent get SIS per week and upwards.
The wooden industry, on the othe1
hand, is one OF the most highly pro
tected. If the tariff has the effec
claimed for it of raising the wages o
| labor in the protected industry thu
wages in the WOODEN industry ought tt
be much higher than the wages in thu
scantily protected paper industry. Il
of fact they are not higher. They ar
much lower. Instead of 50per cent. get
ting over $40 week, as in the paper IN
dustry, only 81 per cent. get that rate
And instead of % per cent. getting 81
and over, as in tho paper industry, tn
number in the wooden industry gettin
chat rate is only 5 per cent
The contrast is quite as marked Whe
the lower wages in both industries ar
compared. In the paper industry tn
proportion of the worlmen reported re
ceiving less than s. a week is about
per cent. while less than 80 per ceni

CROOKED the pregnant hinges of the
knee" before Quay, and proclaimed with
effusion that by his career in State and
National politics che has won and re-
tains" their respect and confidence.
Who then is Senator Quay? He is q
man who has been publicly and specific
ally charged with the embezzlement OF
large sums from the State Treasury of
Pennsylvania. The World has repeated
ly challenged him to meet the charge
with libel suit, as any man not demon
strably guilty would have done at once
The reputable newspapers of his own
party have demanded that he should re-
flute the charge for the party's sake II
not for his own. And yet he has re-
manned persistently silent, not even
whispering a denial. Silence in such
a case is confession.

WORKING THE CABLE.
How Messages to and from Europe Are

How Messages to and from Europe Are
Sent and Received.
Although an ocean cable is in fact
telegraph line, it is so differently con-
structcd that the rules for working land
lines are almost entirely dissimilar.
With the first long cable, great diff
culties were encountered in sending
through them current of electricity of
sufficient power to record the messages
rapidly. The methods for overcoming
these difficulties, and in use at present,
are described as follows:
Keys which, when depressed, trans
nit positive and negative currents, are
employed at the sending station in con-
nection with the regulation battery.
The current Of the battery does not pass
directly into the cable, but into con-
denser, which passes it into the sub
| marine line.
This greatly increases the force OF
the current used and serves to cut OF
interfering ground currents,
The instrument first employed in re-
ceiving cablegrams was a rejecting
| galvanometer. Upon the magnet o.
this instrument is carried small
curved mirror. A lamp is placed before
the mirror and behind screen IL
which there is vertical slit Flashes
of light moving across this slit as thu

Dictated to the trained eyes OF tn

But this method Of recording mes

if not totally, blind. Recognizin
the fact that there must be somethin
wrong with such system, inventor
set about repairing the defect, whic
.. resulted in perfecting the syphon ga
yanometer, which has all but supe
seeded all other receiving devices.
