The killing of an innocent negro by
burning alive Is not a crime in Louis
lana. The story of the horrible fate
of the celoredr man, Hampton, in
Claiborne parish, has already been
told in The Press. 1t is from the of
ticials report of the facts to the Gov
ernor of Louisiana, and there is no at
tempt to deny the story. But the
public walt Ia vain for information
that the Louisiana authorities have
taken any steps to punish the fiends.
That would be too much to expect.
Here in the North. If the victim of
such cruelty had been dog or a rat,
the perpetrators would have been
promptly prosecuted, and. If convict
ed, sentenced to term of labor.
But in some parts of Louisiana the
life of negro is not worth as much
as that of dog or a rat in the North.
The ashes of the victim of the Clai-
borne tragedy cry in vain to the law
for vengeance Z. There is no law to
protest the negro Ia that region of the
South.-ResO York Press.

The fleece must form an offensive and

The Peoria. ILL.,, Journal gives a
neat little object-lesson Ia the value OF
protection, taking lead as an example.
When the Republican party came into
power In 1861, we were importing about
roper cent Of all the lead we used. and
it was worth 8 cents a pound. In
that year a protective tariff went into
operation. through the passage of the
Morrill, bill. Within eight years we
we're producing all the lead we con-
sumed and the price had dropped one-
half-to four cents pound. We con.
sumo 100000 tons of lead year.
This is now worth $50 a ton, or s12-
800 600. Under the free trade price
OF eight cents a pound, 1t would be
worth SOS, 600, 600. We ask some free
trader TO show TO us that the tariff

The scarcity of farm laborers, a
phenomenon particularly noticeable
throughout New England, and the
crowding of cities with men almost
starving for the want OF work, do not
appear to be confined to the United

tralia, where the demand for labor to
develop the immense agricultural re-
sources of the country is very pressing.

In preparing wool for the market,
says trade paper, it is of vast inpor.
lance to pack the wool honestly and
at the same time to make it as attrac-
tive as possible. Care in this direc-
ton pays well. To this is due in great
measure the popularity of the Aus
traiian woods, which are so admirably
handled and put up. Their handling
makes them SO desirable that our best
American woods when brought into
competition with them invariably sell
to disadvantage. We would call
special attention to the fact that the
fieeces should be free from tags or
dung locks and inferior stuffings, as
carelessness or dishonesty Ia this re-
spect invariably works against the
shippers interests.

Protection, for the Farmer.

There seems to be no liuiit to the
efforts OK free-trade attorneys TO pref
Yudice farmer voters against the policy
of protection for home industries.
One of the commonly employed
means to this epdis urging the farmer
TO believe that ,apr tariff legislation is
frapl..d with the view TO discriminate
in favor of manufactured products
and against the products of agricul-
ture. As there is not single clause
in the law susceptible of such a
construction. none but the unwary
will be misled by the charge of dis
elimination against the farmers
interests.
Some idea of the extent to which
farm products are directly protected
can be gained by glance at statistics
within reach of all who care to inspect
them, and the honest SUDDEN; of these
figures is quite forcibly Impressed by
the necessity for maintaining adequate
barriers against foreign competition
SO long as the home market of our
farmers is menaced by products of
for.siss-> si's-Is.
During the last fiscal year foreigners
sold in the United States over SAP
600, 900 worth of farm products, with
out taking into the account more
