REPUBLICAN TRUTHS.
The Mckinley Free List.

Last year the free traders made the
people believe that the Mckinley bill
had not only Increased the tcrifr on
nearly everything that had paid i'm
port duty before, but that tariff was
TO be levied on articles that haze up TO
that time been on the free list. The
timo between tho passage OF tho Me-
kinley bill and the election was too
too short for republicans to contradict
and establish the falsity OF those
claims. But this year there Is ample
time and IN November the democrats
will be amply punished Take the free
list, that is the articles which pay alb
solutely no tariff duy when imported
into this country. II was never larger
than 1t Is now, MS this table will show:

The moral OF the littlo table Is u
very plain one. IL Is this: The Nc
Kinley law has not increased the price
OF tho housekeeper's sheets and the
workingman's shirts. The free traders
said it would do this because the duty
was increased, and according to froe
trade theories tho duty is added TO tho
price and increases the cost not only
OF the dutiablc foreign article, but OF
the non.dutiuble article OF homo pro.
duction. In tho case o. shirts and
sheets. however, tho FREQ traders
have evidently made II mistake, for
the result Of tho higher duties has
been precisely what they said II would
not be. That is, the price OF protected
goods under domestic competition has
fallen. That is what the protection
lists said would happen. The McKin.
ley prices OF shirts and sheets then,
are all right, but the free trade
theory Is all wrong. burlington

ST. LOUIS. Sept. IA most daring
escape from what gave promise of life
long incarceration was effected at 2 o'clock
yesterday morning by an inmate of the
House of the Good Shepherd. Several
years & there came to this city a bright
looking young miss OF 19 years. She was
an orphan. and had been sent to this city
by her guardian, then living in Peoria,
Ill, to study painting and singing. The
young lady's name is Nydia Norton. Her
sweet disposition and attractive appearance
won her many friends, and at last she met
a man who dotted upon her lustrous
black eyes and Jet black hair. The Young
lady. unused to the ways of tthe world,
was easily led astray and soon was treadipQ
An evil path. In the hope of effecting her
reformation she entered the Home of the
Good Shepherd a little more than a year
ago. She became lost to her guardian
and all her relatives, relying simply upon
the friendship and kindness of the friends
she had made upon her arrival IN this city.
After she entered the institution she con-
tinued her studies and became an
admirable artist. Her Intelligence
and department made her the ~favorite of
the Sisters and the other inmates with
whom she came in contact. About three
weeks ago she tired OF convent lite and
longed to return to the outer world. Her
pleading for liberty was in vain; each re-
quest for release was met with refusal.
She became desperate, and lay awake
nights thinking OF how she could get
away. Two weeks & she hit upon a
plan. 1t was a p%erilous one, however.
She determined TO lower herself from the
fourth floor to the ground. She could get
no rope. and could not get sheets enough
to answer the purpose. One day she
went to the Mother Superior and, under
the pretense that she intended to paint
some sketches, was readily granted several
large strips OF canvas. This canvas she
placed at the bottom of her trunk, and
last night after all had re-
tired she arose and made preparations for
her escape. The canvas was torn into
narrow strips and the pieces tied together.
When she had thus made a
rope about fifty feet in length. she
picked the nails which held
the window frame fast to the sill and

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. THE pros
poets for a good harvest in the Caucasus
are splendid. The government has re-
duced by so per cent the rates upon
cereals transported on the Caucasian rail-
roads in order to facilitate the conveyance
of grain from one part Of the country to
the other. 1t is officially announced that
there are large reserves of rye stored in
the granaries OF the Baltic province of
Livonla, and the governor ofthat province
has offered to lend a million pools to the
provinces which 6nd themselves deficient
in their supply Of rye owing to bad crops
OF other reasons, the loan to be restored
the next harvest. The peasants of Cour-
and, another of the Baltic provinces,
nave made a similar offer.
