CHICAGO, Dec. 19.-Frederick j. Austin.
No. S5l4 Prairie avenue. was mortally
wounded at al early hOur this morning by
two BURGLARS. Mr.. Austin was entering his
house when he noticed the two men prowl-

his revolver and asked the men what they
wanted. One of the men fired a shot, which
did not hit Mr.. Austin. and the latter re-
turned the fire. Several shots were ex-
changed, one Of which struck Mr.. Austin
in the stomacb He fell TO the sidewalk,
and while lying prostrato he enlptIed his
revolver at the men. Ii is Thought that
one of them was wounded, for q trail Of

the shooting and ran to the scene. Mr..
Austin was found street.-the in front of bis

The New York Sun, reviewing the
heresy cases of Drs. Smith and Briggs,
concludes that the prospect hat the
Presbyterian Church will eventually be
ruptured by a total divergence of views
concerning the Bible, seems to be inev-
liable. AS to the later tendency of such
a rupture, the Sun says:
The old school will ding to the absolute
perfection and com plete inspiration OF the
Scriptures. The new school will set up for
itself Independently on the basis Of y
scientific criticism OF the Rible. The
tendency of the old will be to grow more
n more conservative. The tendency of
the new will be to become more radical.
until it reaches It's logical end In treating
the Bible as q purely human book descrip-
tive of early religious evolution. and not as
the expression of absolute and final relig-
ious truth sent down by direct and Pc
cuIiar inspiration from God. Hence, the
new school Will either drift into avowed
aQnosticism or turn Cor refuge TO the au.
thority of the church. against which Prot
estantism rebelled under the leadership OF
Martin Luther.
This is looking a long way ahead.
But if such a rupture is inevitable In
the Presbyterian Church. is it not equal
ly so in all others that do not wholly
fetter human reason and exclude the
light of modern scienceY 1t is a ques-
ton of constituting the Bible in the light
of reason-not the partially liberated
reason of two OF three hundred years
ago, but the wholly enlightened reason
of to-day.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 90 1892

upon its face to assert that the man who
is paid SO per day is a cheaper producer
of the same goods than the man who is
paid 81 per day-that as wages increase
the cost of production is decreased. No
worker will admit that he can do twice
as much per day if he is paid twice as
much wages, or three times IA much if
his daily wages is So instead of 81.
There is q limit to human effort, and the
man who receives but 81 a day will
come very near reaching that limit.
Machinery increases production, but
when it comes to equal competition all
competitors will have the same machin-
cry.
While Senator Mills is purely o theo-
rist, Carroll d. Wright, United States
Labor Commissioners, is a practical econ
omist. He has studied the data fur
nished by producers for years. and con-
sequently ignores as unworthy of atten-
ton the assumptions of the Mills
school. He is a protectionist only SO far
ne the different conditions between the
United States and European countries
make protection necessary to sustain
industries in this country which compete
with those of Europe. In a letter writ
ten recently to the editor of a trade
publication regarding the calculating of
the difference in the cost of labor In this
and other countries in the production of
the INT goods. Commissioner Wright
said:
have for many years believed that tariff
rates should be adjusted on the BASH of
difference between total cost, processes be-
ing similar, no matter how that cost Is
made up. Theoretically 1t is all labor.
practically il is all lAborf And if q thing
costs 81 in the United States and % cents
in Great Britain. what is the use
of considering how the 81 is made
1t is the difference we wish to over.
come, 80 that the man making the goods at
81 here shall not be obliged. in ortier to
sell them here, to transplant his works in
Great Britain. Is not this the whole es-
sence OF the principle of protection. and
does not the difference in total cost, with
out regard to it's makeup, furnish the only
and the conclusive standard for de termin-
ing the rate of duty III every line of goods,
whether the duty is for protection or for
r~evenuef
Here is the whole case in a nutshell.
If the American people desire to manu-
facture and pay the higher wages. they
must impose upon those whose goods
cost them less money in wages a duty
equal to the difference between the
wages in this and the competing coun-
try. If such q duty is not imposed.
either the cost of labor in production
must be reduced to the level of the cost
of labor to competing producers, or the
entire product must be purchased
abroad. This is not politics; it is plain
common sense.

MISS ESTHER AWARDED DAMAGES.
Verdict for$25. OOOi in Favor of Plaintiff in the
Jacobs Sire Breach of-Promise Case.

NEW YORK. Dec. 19.-The jury in the
Jacobs-Sire bresch-of-promise case brought
in a verdict this morning. finding a verdict

suit of Miss Esther Jacobs against Henry
b. Sire. which was brought IN the Superior
Court some weeks ago to recover $4,000

penchant for clubs and the races, having
an Office at No. 1873 Broadway. Miss Jacobs
is one of q large family of sisters. has q mu-
steal voice and is remarkably bright and
handsome young lady. The defense was
that the attentions of Mr.. Sire never Gull
minated In an engagement. but that the
Jacobs family united to get him into q
compromising dilemma. and attempted to
force him into u marriage with Miss ia
cobs from mercenary motives. Both fami-
lies are resident in this city, and were init
mateiy acquainted TOR years.
Miss Jacobs alleged that in November.
1897. Sire made an offer of marriage which
was accepted, but no exact date was given
Tor the occurrence and no eDgag cement ring
was placed in evidence. 1t was commended
airy, 1890, when 1t was broken OF by Sire
without the assent of Miss Jacobs. In the
meantime Sire had paid marked attention

his winnings at the races. presented her
with diamonds. rings and jewels. a $500

By Miss JacObs) and maintained cOrrc-
spondence with her at frequent intervals.
Mr.. Sire'6 wealth is shown by the fact that
during their intimacy he admitted owning
forty or more horses. valned at $50 600, and
q long list of valuable real estate in Twen-
ty-eighth and ThIrty-eiRhth streets, which
brought him an income of over $50. coo a

and five sisters of the plaintiff appeared as
