OVERFLOW IN UPPER RED RIVERA
Kansas City dispatch of June 18th
says the Red River and its north fork
in the extreme southwestern part of
the Indian Territory have been out
of their banks for over a week, COM
pletely hemming the people in and
cutting off all communication with
the outside world. The rainfall in
Greer county has been simply terri
rible and the people are suffering
everywhere. Over half the wheat
crop has been entirely ruined, and
corn and oats are nearly all killed
A cloud burst inundated the town of
Frazier, running every merchants
stock Of goods and compelling the
people to flee for their lives. Five
persons were drowned. Along Tur-
key creek and Salt Fork a dozen or
more houses were washed away
Hundreds of people are living out of
doors on high land. The damage
done in Greer county alone will ex-
coed $4,000.

The working of the present tariff
is having different effect upon some
New England industries than was
anticipated when the high protection
lists in that section were contributing
30 literally to the Republican cam
paign fund last year. The Norwich
Conn Manufacturing Company has
been transferred from that place to
Roanoke, Va, a company that en-
ploys 275 hands, and the removal of
which depopulated Norwich of about
1000 Of her population. This is but
one noticeable instance. There are
other instances, and the causes assign
ed, have similar bearings-the high
tariff. David A. Wells, during his
canvass for Congress last Fall, re-
peatedly directed the attention of his
Northern friends to the fact that their
high tariff policy would operate to
their serious disadvantage, because a
high tax on raw material would nee
essarily force mills and foundries
nearer TO where the materials were
produced, In this connection our
Southern people should not forget
that on their soil the eottonis grown,
and that iron and other ores can be
produced cheaper from their mines.

The facilities with which cotton

The facilities with which cotton
goods are being manufactured in the
South is claiming the attention of
Northern factors, and, in a recent
number of the Boston Journal of
Commerce, the fact is commented
upon that more money is made per
spindle in Southern than Northern
mills, The factories on Fall River
are taken by the Journal as a basis
for estimates, and it appears that
within the last six months a nominal
profit only has been made there,
while in the South the leading mills
have cleared a profit of from four to
six dollars per spindle. These facts
show that the cotton made in our
Southern fields can and should be
manufactured where made and that
capitalists at home and abroad ought
to be encouraged to invest their mon
ey here. There is no reason why a
direct trade for the export of South
ern cotton goods should not be es-
tablished by Southern factors with
foreign countries, and when theefFor
Is being made, those engaged should
at least be exempt from the charge
Of being members Of combines and
trusts. If the volume Of our cotton
exports be increased by finding new
markebsrof eeurse'p prices will be ad-
vanced;, and he who increases the
price of what Is made by our farmers
will be among the most useful of our
fellow citizens.
