The A1IssOurI COmuntssiOnsrs Request a
Reduction.
JEFFERsON CITY, Mo, July 1.-THE
state board OF railroad commissioners
has made the following order:
On Tuesday. July z. the commissioners
made an inquiry regarding the rates in force
for the trans OrtRsiOn of grain from Mis-
souri, points to St Louis. For she purpose
of proper investigation they had cited the
traffic managers OF two OF the principal lines
running into st. Louis to be present at the
inquiry 80 cause why reduction In existing
rates as Rforsaaid should not be made. A
full discu sion OF the matter was had with
the following results:
It was agreed that a reduction In wheat
rates should be made over the territory af-
fected by the existing rates, said reduction
varying in accordance With the varying CON
ditiOns governing from 1 TO cents per 100
pounds the average reduction being about
s. per carload. The reduced rates are 70 be
put In force a. soon as practicable, the IN
Outstanding being that IL not promptly put
In force, the OOmm issloners will make their
order compelling the reduction to tuke ef-
the proper ofhcer of the railroad upon which
said reductions are made.
This NOTICE Is made public for the reason
that letters are constantly received at this
ONCE In regard 20 the wheat rates and urg-
Ing the commissioners 30 take some action
60 bring about reduction therein. It e.
deemed pro per 20 make the notice In this

IMPORTS AND PROTECTION.

A PrOteCtionist FaIIacy Completely
Knocked Out.
The prOtectiOuists delight to point
out that we import more now per cap
tia than we did thirty years ago, and
they straightway construct the theory
that high tariff promotes importation.
But in this hasty conclusion they over
look some important considerations.
The great improvements in ocean
steamships have lowered freights
enormously in thirty years. In 1860 the
freight on a bushe1 OF wheat from New
York to Liverpool ranged from II TO
p cents a bushel, while last year the
average was slightly less than cents,
and it is row sometimes as low as 8
cents Cheaper and quicker transporta-
ton has greatly increased the demand
for foreign goods.
At least twenty Americans travel in
Europe now for one who travelled there
in 1860; and the result of this increased
travel is that all Europe has become as
1t were vast exposition in which Amer
leans find the things which meet their
tastes These are bought in Europe in
the first instance; but later orders are
filed by American importers in New
York.
There, too, the more intelligent and
wealthy class of our people is far larger
now in proportion to the population
than thirty years ago Education and
money are factors which tell very
greatly in making a market for a large
class Of foreign goods in which artistic
designing and skilled vvorlzm anship
have been combined
Besides all this. the Invention OF hun
dreds of machines and processes has
produced an enormous mum Der OF spe-
cia1 forms OF manufacture and has
tended in various ways to promote inter
national exchanges
But this notion that protection in
creases Importation is far from being
In harmony with the high tariff faith
as held by Mckinley. In his speech on
his tariff bill in the house Of represent
Etives last year he sid: The chief
complaint against this bill comes from
importers and cOnsignees here, on the
one hand, and the foreign merchants
and consiRnOrs abroad Why do they
complain? ManifesEly because in some
way this bill viii check their business
here and increase the business of our
own manufacturer and producers; 1t
VIII diminish the importation OF com
Peting foreign goods, and increase the
consumption Of our home made goods"

AWFuL TRAeEpY.

The Terrible VvOrI. Of Crazy Nsb-ssla
EraFmsE-Eznls HlS wife ChiIdreR and
E8EulselG
Ellis, Neb., July 1L-About 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon Mrs DR..
Allen, Of Beatrice, came to Ellis on q
visit TO her brother, John ii. Puter-
baugh, who lived q mile and a half
south Of town She was driven to the
farm by Louis Perling and knocked at
the door. bat receiving no response en-
tered, the door not being locked
AS she entered Mrs Allen saw her
brother lying on the floor near the
door and supposed he was asleep. She
spoke to him, but there being no re-
spouse looked more closely and saw
blood on her brothers CHASTITY face
Mrs. Allen called Perling In and he
made an investigation and found a hOr-
rible state OF affairs
In a bed IN a room in which the hus-
band and father lay was the mother,
with a bullet through her head In
bed with her was a twO-year-Old baby
also shot through the head.
On lounge in the room lay q lad OF
10 years, dead, shot through the head.
In the room above was another bed,
occupied by two young girls, one IS
and one Is, both dead, with bullet holes
in their heads
The dead were John Puterbaugh, his
wife and four children
The general belief is that the terrible
deed was the work of the hus band and
father, but no motive can be found as
he was a Peaceable man In conlfOrta BILE
circumstances and it is believed that no
trouble existed in the family.
It seems certain that terrible crime
was committed by Puterbaugh- BY his
side under his arm lay a 32-caliber six
chamber revolver with all the cham bers
empty.
The scene in the house was a horrible
one and made the strongest hearted
turn away. The faces of the dead, al
though covered with blood, were as
calm as though sleeping. No signs of
fear were portrayed on any of them and
there were no evidences of a struggle.
All seemed TO have been killed while
sleeping and to have been shot directly
through the skull. In every case the
pistol was placed close to the head, as
the powder stains were visible upon
pillows or bed clothing.
PuterbRugh was not a drinking man,
and had the reputation of being honest
and good citizen. He suffered from
the grip last spring and since then had
not been in the best of health, subse-
quently complaining of a pain in his
head. He was a man about So or 40
years of age.
Mrs. Puterbaugh was a year or two
younger. The murdered children were
aged as follows: Carrie, Is years; Ma
bel, IS; Charlie, 10, and Ralph, ,.
One son survives-Allen, II years of
age. He was away from home at
work, having left Wednesday last

AN EXCEPTION.

hEassachusetts Should. at Least He EE-
copied When 1t IL Declared That E'rotso-
tfOn Increases Wages.
All orthodox ProtectiOnists claim that
protection makes wages high and keeps
them high. This sPeciOus plea is put
forth as the main argument for prOteG-
ton, all the NicKinleyits asserting that
protection is "a question of wages"
If it be true that protection raises
wages and maintains them at high
level, there ought to be abundant evil
dence of that fact in a great manufsct-
uring state like Massachusetts,. But
In that state. with its thousands OF
factories of all kinds, wages have actu-
ally been lower under the high tariff
period since 1860 than they were at
that time. Proofs Of this fact can
be found in the official report OF Carroll
D. Wright for 1883, he being then labor
chusetts- Mr.. Wright has for some
years been in charge of the United
States bureau OF labor statistics, and
in that capacity he has issued several
volumes OF statistics which are every
where recognized as entirely honest
and impartial Republicans and demo
Gratis alike accept the figures gathered
by him as being the most accurate that
are in reach. His work as labor Stats
tiCian of Massachusetts, may. therefore,
be accepted as equally trustvV Orthy.
In Mr.. WrighC's report for 1888 he
gives the following figures as the week
" average wages prevailing in the vari-
Gus industries Of Massachusetts IA 1860
and in 1850;

'T4E BALANCE OF TRADE"

FdE 6ALAAf-GE OF ElEA4G-
Row Protection Trfes 40 Keep Money In
ehs Counsry-EEPorte OF Com Greater
Than EEnpoFes-2z eEzInIsy'S Imported In
duserles-
During the HscaI year 1890 our ex-
ports amounted to SS5T, 600, 600 and oIIr
imports to 7s9, 600, 600, an excess OF ex-
ports over imports OF SOS, COG, 600. Ac-
theory of the protectionists this differ
encs ought to have been returned TO as
IN gold and silver. Such, however. was
not the case; but, on the contrary, our
imports of gold and silver coin and bull
lion amounted to only S34, 600, 600. At
the same time our gold aud silver went
abroad TO the value of So, 600. 600, or
SIS, 600, 600 more than came in
Com bining the excess of exported
merchandise and coin we get g total eX-
cess of $50. 600, OOO, apparently unac-
counted for. This amount of values
went out of the country in 1890, with
no visible return payment; and the idea
OF the prOtectiOnists that we must
maintain a high tariff in order that we
may keep down imports below exports
and get back gold and silver to make
up the balance of trade" dismally
failed
But how is this matter accounted for?
Did the foreigners cheat us in trade?
BY no means It takes two to make a
trade, says the old adage; and all the
separate transactions going to make up
our foreign trade were agreed upon by
two shrewd merchants who know their
business, the American merchant GER
tainly not being behind the foreigner
in shire wdness and business Judgment
How, then, is this great balance Of
trade" against us to be accounted for?
The explanation is simple after all
Foreigners, especially the English, own
vast properties in America in the form
bonds. The operations of the British
syndicatss last year were famous, and
it is we'll known that many mining
properties, many breweries and other
manufacturing blishments have
fallen into the hands Of foreign buyers.
Now the larger part of these millions,
not yet accounted for, went to pay the
dividends on these foreign Investments.
An other large part went to pay freight
to the owners of the foreign ships that
carried away our our goods, for only a
ridiculously small proportion of our
products went out in American bot
toms Besides these two ways for alb
sOrbing the excess. there is a third which
deserve mention. Thousands of Amer
leans go to Europe every year. These
travellers take with them drafts which
are cashed at banks in Europe, and our
goods must go to Europe to satisfy
the holders of these drafts finally.
The export of coin in 1889 was even
greater than in 1890; and already in the
present year we have sent out between
sixty and seventy millions in gold, not
withstandinR the higher protection
given by the Mckinley law. With the
increasing mum Der of imported indus
tries which the Mckinley law has
forced to come here, while their own
ers live on the other side aud take their
profits there, win not the export of coin
be greater in the future than ever be-
fOreP Protection evidently fails TO
keep money IL the country"

ENEMIEs o. PRooREss.


How Selfish Interests Block the Path OF
Prog-eaa-EsFotectIon and Opposition 60
Iavsntions-Vvtlst the People Must DO.
Every step OF progress which th6
world has made has met the opposition
of people with contrary interests. The
building OF a parallel line of railroad 10
always resisted by the old line which
wishes 70 enjoy monopoly and 20
gather in profits at its own sweet viii.
In 1860 Lord Dudley discovered the
method OF making pig iron bv the use
OF coke. Up TO that time iron was
smelted with charcoal, and naturally
enough the charcoal men were up in
arms against the newly discovered
method They defeated the introduce
ton OF the coke method for seventr-five
years. and only in 1888 was the latter
put into successful operation
The same spirit OF opposition to in-
ventiOn and progress prevails in our
own day, and in this sO-called enlight-
ened land. In the government bureau
of engraving at Washington the rapid
steam presses are stored away, and
hand presses are used exclusiveIv-all
because the employees OF the bureau
were OF posed to the steam presses on
the ground that they saved too much
labor Not long ago it was found in-
possible, for the same reason, to intro
duce in New Y OrlS an improved machine
for making button holes
The great system Of protection itself
is but another form of the same mar
rOw-minded spirit At the instance OF
our window glass manufacturers, for
example, an enormous duty is levied on
foreign glass, since its free admission
would not permit them to pocket the
! handsome profits which they now real
lie every pear. The cheapeniDg of glass
to the millions of Americans is prevent
