Runaway.

Runaway.
One day last week while Mr.. j. w.
Coffinberger was hauling wood with
his farm team one of the horses start
ed to run away, frightening the other
horses into running, too. Mr. COT
finberger caught the lines, which
broke and threw him to one side, and
the team continued to run. The pole
of the wagon caught in fence as
they were making a turn, and the
animal that had begun the fracas got
it's head jammed against the fence,
causing instant death. The other
horses were scratched somewhat, but
were not seriously hurt. Mr.. Coffin
berger made narrow escape from
injury himself.

probably lose their enthusiasm. If a

TIE DEMOCRATS IND TIE SHIPPING
BILL

If the opponents of the Shipping bill were
able to produce sound facts TO support therpOs-
ton, the course they are pursuing might be eX-
cuSed. But their statements Of fact are as in
accurate as the principle they contend for is
fallacous and ireiGcctual. They declare that a
foreign market will benefit the manufacturers
chiefly, whereas the goods we now sell III South
ern countries and the goods they want to OBJ
tain are principally products of the farm. More
than half the freightS now carried by the Ward,
Red ID and Brazilian lines are agricultural goods,
and it is proved 20 a certainty that were the
Shipping bill to pass it would benefit the farm
ers to the extent of three dollars for every dollar
of advantage derived by the manufacturers. 1t
is alleged. too, that the bill taxes the country
districts for the benefit of the seabCard cities,
whereas the fact is that the freights they now
carry come from every State in the Union in
Just about the ratio of its population 1t is
claimed that we would have carrying trade
soon enough if only we would allow our citizens
to buy cheap ships abroad, thus building up for
cign shipbuilding establishments and leaving
our own to decline. But the fact is that the
difference between an American and q foreign
ship in the first cost has become trifling, and no
longer amounts tO,an element in the calculations
of shipowners Raw materials ave admitted free
under the Mckinley BILL and our large naval
expenditures within the last six years have
enabled builders 50 to increase their facilities
that they can now turn out ships for prices
scarcely per cent greater than the English
prices.
Congress has been fully advised of these facts
and Of all others relating to the possibility Of
rcviving our ocean marine and yet we see this
curious situation The party that processes to
believe in the largest possible expansion of
trade refuses TO join with the party that be-
lieves in holding the home market for the benefit
of the home producer in an effort to develop

= foreion commerce. This is the project to
which above all others the Democracy IS com

barriers, Let out the peoples products Let
in the foreign goods they want. Let us BUY
and sell with our neighbors unmolested ny GUS
toms officers ~ And yet, when the barriers are
bcing broken as to the countries that are most
nromisng for new trade, they refuse 20 put the
Nation in a position to enjoy the opportunity OBJ
tained for it.
This is Door logic. If the Democracy really
wants 4 foreign commerce it should lead the
way in solving the prime problem of transporta-

policy of paying out all the British gold that Is

then. of Democratic opposition TO similar meas

what can it think to serve or gain? Iledged

down the barriers, they actually attempt to pile

1UO METHODS CONYRASTED.

Having saved the country from silver coin
age, the Republican party has another duty to
perform. The act passed at the last session was
the best that could possibly be framed for sill
yer producers 1t gave them any price for sill
yer bullion which the taking Of the entire
American product for monetary Use might give
them. 1t has been in force for six months, and
the price of silver bullion is lower than when
the act was passed. 1t is question for silver
producers TO consider soberly whether any
different legislation could have been more ad-
vantageous to them. Meanwhile, the proper
duty of Republicans is to sustain the act and
see that it has fair trial.
Unlimited coinage of silver which many per-
sons paSsionately urged at the last session would
have made the market value OF lega-tender
notes depend upon the value of silver bullion.
But the price of bullion has declined within the
last week to less than 81 per ounce. In the
fury of excitement after silver purchases be-
gan, it rose to ~ II per ounce. Removal OF
the entire American product from the market,
then, has not prevented decline from Sl . |
TO less than 81 per ounce. 1t is highly impor-
