! Therefore the manufacturers ought to
have sold the glass they made in the
census year for 81. Pa, 900 less than ii
cost them, says the Chicago Tribune.
1t does not take strong intellect to
see that under those circumstances
there would be no glass made here. In
that case what would the workmen in
the glass factories do7 II they turned
to some other industry they would and
no demand for labor there They
would be unable to retain their old po-
sitions except by consenting to 4 cut OF
wages of co per cent or more. That
would bring them down toward the
Belgian basis and would give the
American manufacturer some prospec,
of coming out even.

correspondent and his Democratic au-
thorities say that he has these things not
because of the tariff. but because OF
some reason which they never explain

that the American workman produces
more to the hour than his foreign com
Fetitor. But the workman who leaves
Belgium and comes here does not have
to double his productivity to get the
American wages. He gets them at
once. If his pay was governed by his
output he would stay in Belgium.

BreAdstun Exports,

Those ardent free traders who pre-
dicted that the Mckinley law would
cut down and cripple the export trade
of the United states get small comfort
in the statistics of breadstuffs exported

Run Into by tho Steamer Dimock near
Nantucket.-So Lives Lost.
w.K yanderbilps yacht, the Alva, was
run down and sunk by the steamer II.
F. Dimoek Sunday morning off Nantucket
shoals, during fog. The Alya, under the
command of Captain Henry Morrison, left
Bar Harbor at o'clock Saturday evening,
bound for Newport, X. l., having on board
the owner and his guests, Frederick w. Van
derbilt, George de Forrest, Louis Webb, Win
field Scott White and Frank Riggs all OF
whom arc summering at Newport
The Alya was at anchor near Nantucket
shoals, The fog was thick, and the lookouts
on both the vessels could not have seen half a
knot ahead to save their lives. suddenly the
steamer Dimock looned up few feet away
and in few seconds plunged her nose about
seven feet into the yachts side. The widest
confusion followed, rs the yacht was expected
to sink every moment But the crews Of both
vessels quickly regained their presence Of
mind, and the nfty-tve members OF the Ava
crew rushed aft and swung ropes to tie crew
of the steamer.
Not moment was lost In hurrying Mr.
Vanderbilt and the dozen or 50 Of his guests
aboard the Dlmock. The crew scrambled
quickly after them, and hardly had the last
man clambored aboard when, with a rush, the
2oo-foot yacht careened and sank from view.
There were so few moments elapsing between
the collision and the sinking that 1t was Ike
a dream TO the millionaire and his friends.
In the scramble for life, wearing apparel
and jewelry had to be neglected, and none of
the magnificent furnishings OF the boat were
saved.
The Dimoek was apparently uninjured by
the collision. The Alva will probably be
raised as she cost $4,000.

The tornado struck Hitman without warning.
The first building TO suffer was the Welsh

ruined. The wapello Coal compsny's big hay
barns were the next to suffer. and in few
moments were mass Of ruins, the flying tim
bers endangcring lives and seriously injuring
many. At least twenty dwelling houses were
wrecked and as many were unroofed. A regu-
lar panic occurred among the people, and as
they ran to cellars and caves for protection
many were struck with flying tImbers and
carried from their feet. Only one was seri-
ously injured. He is miner, whose name

ought TO give such practice as few
private schools do. Instead. they set
the boys and girls the task of labori-
ously initiating and engraving copy
for a certain time each day. and when
their schooling is over the best they
can do as rule is painfully to draw
an uncertain imitation OF their copies

no faculty in writing and there is
neither character nor dignity in what
they do.
