Damaging Testimony Against the AL
legged Parricide.
BOSTON, Oct. 10.-The Globe this
morning published 13.column story, to
the effect that several witnesses at the
coming trial of Lizzie Borden for the
murder of her father and mother,
will swear that they saw Lizzie
at the window of her house
on the day OF the murder, at
at time which makes it certain that
she was at that moment standing over
the body of her mother. Others, it is
stated, will swear that they overheard a
quarrel between Lizzie and her father
the night before the murder, in which
the latter told her that unless che gave
the name of the man who got her into
trouble, he would turn her out of the
house.
Mr.. G.. Romaine Pittson, wealthy
New Yorker, made affidavit that few
days prior to the murder, Mr.. Borden
consulted him as friend about Lizzie,
whose trouble he related. George Sis
son. it is said, will swear that less than
month before the murder, Borden told
him ne had made his will. giving Emma
and Lizzie 5000 cash, which was
more than he would have allowed them,
but for his wife's intercession. Bridget
Sullivan will, it is said, corroborate the
story of a quarrel between Mr.. Borden
and Lizzie also that on the afternoon
of the day of the murder Lizzie whis-
pered to her: "Keep your tongue still
and don't talk to these officers, and you
can have all the money you want"
FALL RIVER, Mass. Oct. 10.-Andrew
J. Jennings, counsel for the defendant
in the Borden murder case, asserts that
the matter published in Boston paper
is tissue of lies."
The story published this morning has
caused a revulsion of feeling in favor Of
the girl. Miss Emma and Mr.. Morse
deny all the statements made about
quarrels. Detective McHenry denies
all knowledge of the matters pub
lished.

1t is probable that Chairman Carter
and Governor Mckinley regard Penn
sylvania as safe politically, and there
fore they can evade unpleasantly search
ing discussion of the tariff law, but they
should not forget that the Mckinley
bill levied increased and needless taxes
on the necessaries of business that en-
ploys tens of thousands of wageworkers
in this city; that increased the cost of
the necessaries of life to all industrial
people; that its promise of increased
wages to labor has proved to be mock
cry and a lie, and that there are today
in this city thousands of wageworkers
who are hesitating about continuing
their support of tariff that protects
only monopoly and oppresses the indus
trial people of the land. The KcKinley
tariff needs defense in Philadelphia, as
both Chairman Carter and Governor
Mckinley may learn before election day

For the President to Answer.

President Harrison says in his letter
of acceptance: "No intelligent advocate
of protective tariff claims that is able
Of itself, to maintain a uniform rate OF
wages without regard to fluctuations in
the supply of and demand for the prod
ucts of labor. But it is confidently
claimed that protective duties strongly
tend to hold up wages, and are the only
barrier against a reduction to a Eu-
ropean SCALE"

New YORK, Oct. 10.-A meeting of the
stockholders of the Comstock Tunnel
company, for the election of trustees,
was held this afternoon. Previous to
the election there was an acrimonious
discussion over the question of ex-
penses. During the past year $4,000
was disbursed for miscellaneous ex-
penses outside of Denver. George Nc
bonald, one of the stockholders,
called for an itemized list of expenses,
and long and lively debate followed.
1t ended with the adoption of resolu-
ton providing that in future all ex-
penses shall be itemized. The following
were elected trustees: Elisha Dyer, jr.,
Edward @. Boardman, Otto Lowengard,
Eugene Seligman, Edward B. Sturges,
Herman Stursberg and Theodore Sutro.
Robert Hobart Smith and George d.

commerce was built up and great
wealth acquired bY the classes that
were able to ''iive on the labor" Of
others As early a. 1907 Judge John
son said. in delivering a charge TO a
jury at Savannah, in contest over a

CAPITAL STATES AND LABOR STATES.
As Seward said 10 his speech of Feb
ruary Z, 1860, in the Senate:
The seven Northern States content
eddy became labor States BY their own
acts. The six Southern States with
equal tranquility and by their own
determination remained capital States. .
Between two such systems of labor
there could be no enduring peace.
While sooner or later the Southern sys-
tenn had to make war on the Northern,
the conflict was kept off during the first
quarter of the century because the rich
profits of cotton-raising tended to keep
the planters in complacent state of
mind; but. as competition increased
and the prices of their great staple kept
falling steadily in the twenties, discOn-
tent developed and they struck at the
tariff with increasing vigor, their oppo-
sition, at first heard in remonstrance,
gained strength until it eliminated in
the hoarse tones of rebellion. Early in
the struggle the sagaclous leaders of the
South saw the ACCESSIBILITY or rather the
necessity of concealingrthe fact that
every blow they struck at protection
riveted the chain tighter on the slave;
that in their assault on the tariff they
were fighting equally in the interest Of
free-trade and slavery. With marve-
Ions skill and success they shifted the
issue to defense Of State sovereignty,
while in truth and in fact the whole
struggle was TO maintain slavery and
free trade as equally essential parts of
cheap labor s. stem and to break down
the hostile Industrial structure estab-
.ished at the North.

A Tribute to Reciprocity

No finer tribute t. Secretary Blaine ;
efforts in the cause of reciprocal trade
relations could be paid than the. state
ment that our exports will nave in
creased fully 500, 10000 in annual
value by the time the Law has been in
force two years, says the Philadelphll
Erening BuIiettn
Since the adoption of that law the
work of extending our trade has been
gradual, but sure. Even the hasty
readers Of The daily papers have noted
from time to time the conclusion of a
treaty with this nation or the report of
progress in negotiations with that. But
neither they nor even their more
thoughtful associates had any concep-
ton of the scope Of the movements thus
recorded in the press as matters of only
ordinary concern One by one the
Latin countries to the south of us be-
came parties to international agree
ments Of enormous benefit to the United
States Then the more difficult work
negotiating with European countries
was begun. No hasty treaties were
made there. The majority of these
countries were producers of many of
the goods which were made by manu-
features have, and there could be no
exchange of these; but here the power
to press for the admission of farm pro-
ducts was camly but forcibly used. with
results that made four of the principal
nations of Europe part of our avail
able markets ut this time.
There would be undoubted cause for
qualification over this result. but anoth,
er phase of the question must be con.
sidered before the sweeping nature of
the victory is understood Every treaty
made under the act has been made TO
the advantage o. Protection. Not one
of them has interfered with the protec
tive features for WI ich Mckinley lab5red
SO faithfully and which constitute the
chief value Of the law The Democratic
boasts that reciprocity was only Free
Trade in disguise. tha' it could not be
carried into operation without pulling
down the who,s protective system, has
been disproved by the actual workings
OF a law which owes no part of lis sue
cess to Democracy or Free Trade. and
this success instead of weakening Pro.
lection has strengthened that cause and
the party which represents it.

"PolsoNED" APPLES.
The silly Cutlery Against American Fruii
by English Papers.

The silly Cutlery Against American Fruit
by English Papers.
The recent excitement in England
against American apples, about which
inquiry has been made by some Of our
readers, was originated by the Horti-
cultural Times Of London. and copied
by many Of the prominent daily and
other journals. II was apparently
based on the common practice in this
country Of spraying young fruit with
arsenites for the destruction of insects,
by which the fruit, which before was
distorted and deformed by them, was
made smooth and fair The London
papers referred to appear to take il
for granted that the sprayed fruit has
absorbed the poison, and so much Of it
that it is unsafe to buy any more Amer
lean apples, and that those who eat
them devour dangerous quantities Of
arsenic. The absurdity of this posi-
ton is distinctly shown when it is
stated that the largest quantity of
Paris green (which is only part
arsenic) used in spraying, is only one
pound in 200 gallons Of water, or over
three hogsheads, making only one
part of arsenic in about 1000 parts of
water In spraying, not one part of
the water in ten ever reaches the fruit,
but covers the leaves or drops to the
ground, and rot more than a single
drop enters the calyx, and of this
single drop only one-seven-thousandt
part is arsenic-enough to kill young
insect which weighs only a two-hun-
dred-thousandth part the weight of
man. 1t is therefore necessary for a
Il IN, to receive any injury from this
arsenic to eat at least six bushels of
apples at single sittingl
But the Paris green is insoluble, and
does not enter the fruit at all, and this
minute portion is all washed off by the
first shower, as DIR. Kedzie showed
with apples heavily sprayed on pur-
pose, where not the slightest vestige of
the poison could be detected by the
most rigid test If our English friends
had been in the way of receiving pota-
toes from America some years ago,
which had been treated with Paris
green, they might with more propriety
have raised an excitement against
them, for larger quantities of the poison
were used for the striped beetle, al
though it could never penetrate the
soil to reach the tubers. and could
never enter them when it got there,
from its insoluble nature. The truth
is that millions of persons eat such POI
tatoes every year without any harm,
and tens Of thousands eat sprayed APP
pies annually without injury. The
whole matter, as presented in the
English journals, naturally recalls the
account of the philosopher who wrote
an elaborate treatise to prove that a
man could write better on any subject
by knowing something about it. -Coun-
