COST PRICES HERE AND ABROAD.
correspondent In the Chicago berald
says that he finds in an issue of the Amer
ican Economist an editorial commenting
upon Senator Voorhees, speech ON the tar
iff question, IN which this language Is
used: He Voorhees, knows that all the
finished forms of iron and steel In agricul-
trral implements, builders hardware, in
struments and machinery of all kinds are
articles of export, and have been so for
many years. He then, with justified
amazement wants to know ''if this is so?
And il so, what is all this clamor about
the sanctity of a protective tariff? Is it
possible that machinery of all kinds can
be sold abroad without the protecting
care of tariff, but that at home we must
have tariff to prevent foreign competi-
tion in the same product. 2"
1t is not only possible, but it is actually
done, and what greatly aggravates the
matter is that some kinds of machinery
are sold abroad at lower rate than the
American manufacturers will dispose of
them here at home. But at the
same time, while foreign farmers
and others are thus given the benefit of
low prices on this particular class of
American manufactures, the people of this
countr! are really paving the difference
between the selling price abroad and in
this country and that difference goes di-
rectly into the pocket Of the protected
manufacturers, largely Of Pennsylvania.
Without the protection robbery the Amer
lean consumer would enjoy the rate pre-
yailing in Europe.
This matter Of machinery is a fine illus
tration Of the cruel injustice that is made
possible by the enforcement of repub-
lican economic methods, and ii exists
in this country today in thousand differ
ent forms 1t is invariably, however, in
the interest Of the rich.
The protective system may possibly
make shade of difference in the wages paid
TO workingmen Of the two continents but the
fact that the lowest wages are paid ia the
highest protected industries is in Itself a
most important and significant argument
against such Il theory and must generally
be accepted by reasoning men as all but
utterly disproving it. The natural CON
ditions existing in the United States, in
this new country with its bread expanse
of lands yet open TO the free entry of set
tiers, have much more to do with
wages than the tariff, and until we
more nearly reach the social status Of Eu-
rope. which end will only come when the
same density of population prevails ON
both sides of the water, we shall have an
advantage over the nations Of the old
world which customs laws do not in any
wise build up nor can their repeal tear
down.

GUATEMALA, Sept. 2.-Ihe daughter of
Barrundla. who was shot TO death last
week, attempted to shoot United States
Minister Miner, yesterday. She came upon
the american minister In his
office, and pulling out revolver,
accused him of having been
the direct cause of her fathers death.
Minister Miner took the matter coolly
and tried to reason with the girl, who
was almost heside herself with excite
mint. At last she pulled the trigger
but the bullet struck heavy law book
which the minister had picked up. The
report of the pistol attracted attention,
and before she could fire another shot
she was sarIned. The coolness Of the
minister undoubtedly saved his life. Mr..
Miner will not prosecute the lady and
insists that no further notice shall be taken
of the affair.
Mr.. Miner was at his desk translating
the guarantee given TO him by this gov
ernment that Barrundia's S life would be
spared in case ne was surrendered, when
the young woman came into the office. As
the minister looked up from his work she
was standing within four feet Of him with
a revolver. She is under arrest.

people assembled to see the final races and

people shouted for him to drop, but Redin
was either entAngled or lost his head, and
he clutched franticalIy at the rope, at
tempting to climb up the slender line into
the basket. A number of women in the
dense crowd tainted and all the spectators
grew sick with horror as the balloon moved
upward and sailed southwark. Carter
could be seen making desperate efforts to
draw Redin up the rope on which he swung
to and fro. For fully ten minutes their
efforts continued and then, at
height of over 1000 feet, the balloon took

and his body shot downward. 1t was
found half a mile away. The clothing
was torn off, all his bones broken and the
body crushed out of all human sembance
