A VERIFIED PREDICTION.

New York Mail and Express.
1t is fact perfectly well known to
ordinarily well informed peoplc-among
whom, as matter of course, those un
fortunate beings who are afflicted with
mania for British free trade are not to be
classed-that Alexander Hamilton, when
Secretary of the Treasury, foretold one
of the great benefits of the protective
system in his declaration that the ulti-
mate effect of protective tariff would
be the cheapening of the products of
American industries to the consumer.
All propositions of that sort are at
once combatted with vociferous fury by
the free traders, whose pet theory it is
that the tariff raises the price on protect
ted articles to the consumer by precise
ly the duty paid. Nevertheless, their
entire truth has been a hundred times
proven and has of late been most con-
spicuously shown by the ruling prices
in the iron and steel markets of England
and the United States.
Repeatedly within the past few months
English and American makers of steel
rails have quoted substantially the same
prices for their wares, although the
American tariff on steel rails is a heavy
one.
How do our free trade friends pro-
pose to account for this fact, which
knocks their theory into innOcuous de-
suetude?
How do they propose to account for
the fact that the American workman,
producing steel rails under the protect
i've tariff, receives far higher wages, is
far better clothed, fed and housed than
the laborers who are enjoying the (the-
oreticaD blessings of free trade across
the seas!
These are questions to which there is
but one honest answer, and that answer
is an open acknowledgment that pro-
lection protects.

PROVING IT"

Cleveland Leader.
The challenge of the Brice organs and
boodlers to .'prove it, has been accepted
and the facts are beginning to come out
The New York World publishes a dis
patch showing that Representative Egg
german, of Hardin county, received, in
all, 1850 from Thomas to aid in his elect
ion, but that he sold out Thomas and
voted for Brice in consideration of $500
received from Brice, either the day be-
fore or the day after election-it makes
no difference which. This story Mr..
Thomas confirms. Mr.. Thomas also
charges that fifteen other Democratic
members of the General Assembly took
his money before election and then be-
trayed him for larger inducements offer
ed by Brice. A prominent Democrat
who is very close to Mr.. Thomas SAYS
that Brice became frightened at the
death of two of his supporters and the
illness of others and sent out agents who
''bought up men like hogs, paying from
$1,000 to $1,000 a head" 1t begins to
look as if the inside of this rottenness
was certain to be exposed.
RASCAL VS.. a GENTLEMEN.
New York Press.
Witness Woods confession that he
procured the forging of the names of
Sherman, Mckinley, Grosvenor, Butter
worth and Campbell to the ballot box
contract ought to send that unmitigated
rascal to the penitentiary for long
term of years. Governor Foraker is not
entirely blameless in the matter himself.
He was certainly careless and unwise in
his haste to jump at the conclusion that
his political rivals, men who bore and still
bear excellent regulations, and whom he
had every reason to treat well, were
guilty of wrong doing; and this on the
word of mere adventurer whose testi-
mony would not have been worth a
feathers weight against theirs in court
of justice. A man cannot touch pitch
like Wood without being defiled.
Mr.. WM. T. PRICE, Justice of the
Peace, at Richland, Nebraska. was con-
attack of lumbagO; but a thorough appli-
cation of Chamberlain's Pain Balm ena-
bled him to get up and go to work. Mr..
Price says: "The remedy can't be recon-
mended too highly" Let any one troub-
led with rheumatism, neuralgia or lame
back give it trial, and they will be of
the same opinion. 50cent bottles for sale

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Jan. 24-The re-
port published concerning the Polish
troubles at Plymouth Wednesday night.
are somewhat exaggerated. 1t is true
that Wilkes, the leader of the anti-Lithu-
anian faction, who strangely enough is
not a Catholic like the others, but who
is the ringleader of the disturbing ele-
ment. as soon as he was released on bail.
went to Plymouth swearing that if the
bodies of the children had been buried
in the Polish cemetery (of which he is
sextonl he would have them dug up at
all hazards. Upon his return to Ply
mouth he organized mob of reSurrec-
tionists, who marched to the cemetery
The earth over the graves was removed
and the coffins taken out. An approach
ing funeral procession interrupted
further desecration and led to the flight
of the mob. Warrants were issued for
the arrest of Wilkes and the others, and
eight arrests were made. Wilkes gave
bail in 5000 and the others were put
under bonds for smaller amounts.

THERE is something curious about
the American silver dollar and half dol
lar of 1904" says a numismatist There
were about 10000 of these dollars coine''
but not one of them got into circulation .
Two of them are in coin collections to-
day however, and they are the most val
uable of all American coins. Why the
dollar of 1904 was never in circulation
after leaving the mint is one of the un-
solved government mysteries. The half
dollar of 1904 is surrounded by a mys-
terry eq' aly profound. There were l50,-
600 of these coined, but not one WIS ever
known to be in circulation"

SHADE FOR SHEEP.

Referring to this subject the Melbourne
Ledder says:
The question of planting shade and
shelter trees on the large treeless plains
comes up for periodical discussion. Some
years ago the subject exercised the sheep
breeders on the large plains of Riverina,
and it was then stated, as the experience
of some breeders, that the contrast be-
tween the wool of sheep grazed in pad
docks in which there was no shelter and
a portion of the same flock pastured in
very open timbered country was very
marked.
In some parts of Riverina the Schinus
mol (Pepperina) tree has been found to
grow well on the plains, also affording
excellent shelter. In Queensland the
Phytolacca (the Bella sombra of the
Mediterranean is one of the most rapid
growers known, with, however, this
great disadvantage, that it is of no 9th
er use except as shade tree. 1t was
at one time thought that it would not
grow at any great distance from the sea
coast, and would not live west of the
main coast range. 1t has, however,
been found to thrive well ON Darling
Downs
"A clump of shade trees planted around
wells and tanks, and in corners of pad
docks, to afford sheep shelter to some
extent from the heat of the sun, would
also tend in some measure to break the
fury of the gales in winter.
AMERICAN FLOUR IN ENGLAND.
yew York Peess.
Free traders are fond of attributing
the decline of our wheat exports to our
duties on imports, but the London Agri
cultural Gazette unconsciously refntes
them when it says: american red
wheats are now seldom seen on the
stands at Mark lane, the quantities re-
ceived being nearly all in parcels pur-
chased by the town millers and sent
direct to their mills, but American flour
chokes the waterSide warehouses and
oyerflows into many country channels"
And in another place the Gazette tells
a tale that is significant of the high
standard of living that the American
protective system has developed, as
follows:
"The American millers can beat us,
in fact can beat the whole world at sell
ing flour, as they are doing, only that
the American people eat the best and
sell the rest, whereas some other export
ing countries, Austria Hungary for ex-
ample, do Just the other thing
Let the free traders have their way
and cut down the workers wages so that
we will have to sell the first quality of
flour and eat the worst quality, and our
imports of breadstuffs will fairly boom.
Then we-some of us-will get rich,

SCENE INA CHURCH
A Young Man Fires a Bullet at BishoI
Whitaker in PhiIadeIrhia


PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 21.-During con-
fiTmatlOn services at st. Johns EpiScO-
pal church. coroner of St. John and
Brown streets, last evening the congre-
cation was startled by the actions of an
apparently demented young man, who
rose from his seat in the church, and
fired a shot from revolver at Bishop
Whitaker, who was in the pulpit. In
mediately there was a great confusion.
but it was quickly seen that no harm had
resulted from the shot. The young man
who gave his name as David Alexander.
of No. 1880 Parrish street, was taken
into custody. He told a rambling story
of letter he had received, which had
induced him to make the attempt to kill
the venerable bishop. He was locked up,
pending an investigation of the matter.
Alexander is about 80 years old, and
was until recently a clerk in the dry
goods store of Strawbridge & Clothiers.
He says that BishopWhittaker attitude
on the liquor question displeased him,
and he resolved to kill the bishop. Alex
ander is an ardent Prohibitionist. He re-
signed his position several weeks ago, in
trder that his intentions with regard to
Bishop Whitaker would not bring dis
grace to the house. He SAYS that after
hearing a sermon preached by the bishop
last April. in which he asserted that
every man ought TO vote according to
his conscience, he entered into a cor
respondence with the divine, trying to
convince the bishop that he was an
enemy to Prohibition and should be re
moved" He has been waiting for a
chance to get at the bishop for some
time and, hearing that he was to preach
in ST. Johns church last night, went
there determined to kill him The priSo-
ner states that he had determined 10 also
remove the Rev. S. d. Mcconnell. pastor
of st. Stephens Episcopal church. whose
attitude on the liquor question was dis
tasteful 10 him.
1t is evident that Alexander's reason
has become unsettled through mental ex-
citement, produced by his religious and
political beliefs. He expressed disap-
pointment at his failure to kill the
bishop.

Labor, after q protracted session this after
noon, issued manifesto tonight signed by

The executive council of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor having selected the United
Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of
America to make demand for the enforce
ment of an eight hours work day,
1 ask you to refrain from any
sympathetic strikes but to rather remain

ters and joiners my advice is to demand and
insist upon the enforcement of an eight
hour work day. In the demonstration to
be held May LIST turn out in vast numbers
and by your presence manifest your unalt-
cradle determination to have the eight
hour work day enforced, though by one

result. Allow no one to provoke you, re-
frain from all violence, and let the watch
word be the enforcement of an eight-hour
work day, firmly, peaceably and positively.
