When the Democratic rep. sentative
in Congress from Tennessee, Nh. Nc.
Millin, madea speech last month on the
tariff question, he saw Fit to make this
statement:
The labOrer has been forced 70 nay more
for ther root that shelters him, for the hat
that covers his head and the w0olens that
cover hts back. He has had to pay more
for the linen he wears, the hammer and
the hoe with which he works Yet his
wages have not gone up cent What
benefit has increased protection been to
him +?
This 10 the demagogic way Of discuss.
ing tn, question Of the tariff. To show
how near Mr.. McMillin tells the truth.
let us take some reliable figures from
the Dry Goods Economist, which ID not

trade tendencies. In quoting prices of
standard cotton fabrics in April, 1880,
and in February, 1892, it gives the fol.

The scene from the bridge is at ono,
awe-inspiring and impressive, a very
good idea of the extent of the foot
being obtainable both on this and tho
Illinois side.
On this side the water is from one t.
three feet deep in the stores along the
levee, and communication with the
wharf-boats is cut off except by means
of skiffs. consequently no freight is
being received or discharged. Every.
thing portable along the levee was re,
moved to higher ground, and the occu-
pants of the stores and saloons have
gone out of business temporarily. and
have been forced to seek dry quarters in
the second stories.
by far the most interesting to the on
locker and discomfOrting to the victims
are the scenes at either extremity of
the city, where large sections of low
ground are inundated, and where the
homes of the poor and lowly are almost I
under water and many of them ruined.
Hundreds of families are rendered
homeless, and in many cases, where
they had remained. hoping against hope
that the waters would recede, they
have been rescued from impending
death only by heroic effort on the part
of those who have given this matter
their attention.

Many of the houses that were stand.
ing in from to IL feet of water on Sat
urtay were raised from their founda-
tions by the rise Sunday and tumbled
over on their sides and ends. The back
water for several blocks is strewn with
furniture of all descriptions, which
floats about from place to place, wher.
ever the wind blows it. In one case
where family were compelled to eat
their supper on top of their house on
Saturday evening for want of boats to
carry them to a place of safety, they
were only rescued from their perilous
position an hour before the house top
pied over on its side in 10 feet of water.
The occupants of the flooded houses
have built shanties on the higher ground
to the west.
Three steamboats, were overturned in
the river by driftwood and the force Of
the current between Branch and Dock
streets One of them, the Dolphin, will
in all probability be totally wrecked.
At the foot of Salisbury street is the
salt elevator. 1t has been half full of
water for several days, but the rise
since threatened to carry the entire east
end of it down the river.
At the foot of Mallinckrodt street a
roadway which runs under the railroad
tracks has been damned up in order TO
keep the river from getting into the
Knapp-Stout lumber yards. The water
has begun to seep up through the
ground, however. the river being fully
ten feet higher than the lumber yard

The water from the river is backing
up into the sewers, causing the sewage
and river water to flow out and food
the whole of the low country in the
neighborhood of the lumber yard Con-
siderable damage has. already resulted
from this overflow. The low lands
around the burst sewer on Mallinckrodt
street have been rapidly filed up, and
the water is fast approaching Broad
way.
North from the water-woris the
country is one vast inland lake Dor
dered on the east by the river. The
crops in the overfiowed farm-lands will
be a total loss, and the destruction Of
through the railroad embankment and
threatens to deluge the stock yards, but
up to this morning had been prevent
ed from doing so by dirt dixie that
was being built A large force Of men
and teams has been kept busy on the
new dixie. The loss to the stock yards
company would be very heavy should
their pens be inundated.

property is increasing hourly. Along
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy rail-
road northward to Chain of Rocks IL
would be hard to imagine a more dis
tressing scene. The farm land
is being badly washed ont by
the current. and will suffer great
damage besides the loss of the crops
The water is reported to have gone over
the tracks near the Chain of Rocks, and
to be washing away the embankment.
The overfiowed district between the
mouth of the Missouri river and the
Chain of Rocks is hourly increasing.
Every inch of rise adds additional acres
to the deluged country, and the swift
current of the Missouri is doing great
damage.
Across the river little is to be seen ex-
cept dreary waste of water with here
and there and island, and q closer in
spection reveals q state of affairs at
once distressing and alarming, in view
of the fact that the highest has not yet
been reached, and that with the break
in the Madison levee, above, the volume
of water will continue to spread over
every inch of territory not sufficiently
elevated to escape.
