CREMATED.
An Entire Family Perish in a
Burning Building at
Cleveland, o.
The Indiana Registration Law
Held Unconstitutional by
Its Supreme Court.
The Whole Family Perished.

CLEVELAND, Oct. ga fire most
appalling in its results occurred about
1:3O this morning in the two story
frame building at the corner of Cen
trail avenue and Harriet street, in
which an entire family, consisting of
father, mother and two little boys
persisted. The building is residence
and store rooms combined. In half
of the lower portions of the building
was the saloon owned by James Shan
non and John McGinty. Shannon and
family lived in upper part of building.
They persisted. The cause of the fire
has not been ascertained, but it is be-
lieved to have originated in the sa-
loon.

withstanding. The committee was
appointed to ascertain how much wa
ter has been used by the mill, and its
report upholds the statements made
weeks ago by members of the Board
of Public Works. The water rates
are not subject to alteration by the
Board and the committee had no al
tentative but to make the report that
it did upon the value of water used.
The FREE PRESS does not know
whether the amount of water used
reported by the committee is exactly
correct or not, though the Recie,o. in
it's hatred of Mr.. Hubbard, thinks
that it is less than the amount used.
The council is the only body that has
power to change the water rates, and
we believe that sufficient arguments
are to be found in favor of consider
able reduction in the case in hand to
warrant the council in taking such
action
mously take this view. If Mankato
expects to secure more manufactures
it must not exhibit a hostile spirit
toward those which are already here
and have helped to make the city
what it is today, in spite of opposition
JShylocks Of the ReUieao stripe, which
demands the pound of flesh, now that
it thinks that it has Mr..
Hubbard upon the hip" 1t is
well for the city that the narrow
spirit which the ReuieaU possesses
meets with popular disapproval and
contempt which it merits. We have
no doubt that the council will repudi-
ate the efforts of the Reyieav to force
it to take action which would be un-
fair to Mr.. Hubbard. Not content
with insulting the committee by as
Stunning that it's report would not be
accepted as true without an eXplana-
tion and certificate of character from
that paper, the Revie,o shows it's ig-
nOrance of the most common law of
nature and at the same time itself
denies the truthfulness of the COM
mittee's report by declaring that the
action of the water for three years on
the hole in the valve would not en-
large it. 1t thus slaps the committee
in the face and endeavors by another
mistatement to create the impression
that the mill has used vastly more
water than the highest estimates
have placed it at.
Our advice to the ReUieoU is to lay
aside personal malice and spite when
it is discussing matters of public poll
cy, and try to accustom itself to the
truth

Gov. BoIEs, of Iowa, is again max
ing his calamity speeches, which are
a fair sample of the Demo-Populist
style of how the country is going to
ruin under the protective tariff. He
is again figuring that the farmers are
raising corn at loss of 81 cents per
acre. A farmer from Ames, Iowa,
writing to the Chicago hnterOcean up
on Boies' calamity assertions says
that his Figures as to the cost of rails
ing corn and the loss that every farm
er in Iowa endures are standing jokes
with the people of this state" and he
adds that ''the Governor has not fig
ured out the time when all the farm
erS of Iowa must lose their farms and
stock in this way, but he is said to be
engaged upon this problem" Prof.
Kent, of the Agricultural College, of
that state, does not agree with the
Governor, and says he arrives at his
figures by putting too much labor on
the crop. He says that the average
crop of corn is IS bushels to the acre,
that many farmers raise such an
amount with little work, but the Gov.
/, charges against it the same amount
of labor and care that is put upon an
acre at the Experimental farm. In
this manner he figures out loss for
the farmer, libels his state and pro-
badly thinks he has made a great
point for the free trade principles of
Democracy.

1 have a word to say about the Irish
vote. 1 see it stated that the Democrats
boast of having the mass of them in their
ranks. This year it is one of the mysteries
of politics that a question which interests
England so supremacy, which is canvassed
almost as much in London as it is in New
York, should have the Irish vote on the
side of Great Britain. If the Irish vote
were sOlidly for protection they could de-
fy all the Vaccinations of the Democratic
party for free trade and throw their in
fiuence on the side of the home market
of America against the side of the foreign
market of England. 1 am unwilling to
believe that with light and knowledge
before them they will deliberately vote
on the side of their former oppressors.-

Minor Law Sustained.

At previous national elections the
presidential electors were voted fol
by the electors of the entire State
collectively. At the last session of
the State legislature the law was
changed so as to provide for the
election of one elector from each
congressional district and two at
large. That law is known as the
Minor law. The Repu blicans con-
tested the law, declaring it was UNI
constitutional, and the question
was referred to the Supreme Court
for settlement. That Court, last
Friday, rendered an unanimous de-
cision to the effect that the law was
constitutional, and that the Legis.
lature had the power to pass such a
law.
The result will be that this dis
trict, the 10th, and at least three
other congressional districts, will
elect Democratic electors.

Fifty Reasons Why We Don't Want
Any Protection in Ours.

my IIOJcCtlOu III OuIb'
The object of this article is to
demonstrate that the theory of Pro-
lection is based on false economical
principles and that it abounds with
fallacies.
In order to present the subject in
as brief and simple form as pos
sible | make the following state
ments, and think | am prepared to
elucidate each and every one. Pro-
tectionists, here are about fifty shots
at your Protection target; if they
have all struck where | aimed
them, you must admit that your
target is so riddled with bullets that
there cannot be much left of it.
|. Trade enriches nations.
2. Any obstruction to trade such
as a protective tariff injuriously
affects the prosperity and industry
of country.
3. Any obstruction to trade
compels the people to work nearly
twice as long, hard or rapidly as
they would need to if they had free
exchange.
4. A sound and healthful indus
try needs no protection.
5. A nation obtains more by ex-
changing works for the other at a
more profitable rate than it could
work directly for itself.
8. Flooding our market is in
creasing our trade, and if trade did
not benefit both sides there would
be no trade, for every fair exchange
has two profits, one for each side
exchanging.
7. Protection not only causes
higher prices of the goods protected
but of other commodities.
s. Some of the most profitable
industries in this country have never
been assisted by protection.
o. The right to freely exchange
is a God-given right Of all men,
which Protection destroys. 1t is
the Christian side of the argument.
10. Protection is an expensive
way Of building up an industry.
II. Some of our protected in
dustries are no better off to-day than
they were fifty years ago, after we
have paid millions of dollars for
their support.
IL. AS Daniel Webster said in
1920, 1--WE cannot afford to do with
our intelligent labor what foreign
pauper labor will do for u.s.
IS. Protection forbids us hiring
the cheap foreign labor.
IA. Protection influences and
forces the industry of a country
from its natural channels.
Is. Protection checks peoples
enterprise and ingenuity.
18. Protection is means for
deranging industry and thus sud-
denly throwing great numbers Of
people out of employment.
II. Protection directs us to
work in industries which produce
articles which will not pay a pro-
fit unless raised in price.
18. Protection encourages weak
and tardy industries which are
waste Of labor, by giving them an
unnatural and inflated growth.
10. Protection diverts capital
from numerous and diversified and
naturally productive industries into
fewer and less productive industries.
20. Protection diverts labor in
the same way, for labor follows cap
ital, and places the laborer in a
more dependent and precarious
condition.
81. Protection does not aid the
general industry.
%. Protection discourages pro-
duction.
%. Protection restricts industry,
puts the bad on the level with the
good, removes from industry it's
only guaranty of full reward, con-
tracts trade and neutralizes the
gifts of nature. Protection is spoil
alton.
