NARROW ESCAPE.
A Lady's Close Call From Being Run
Over by a Car.

A Lady's Close Call From Being Run
Over by Car.
Yesterday forenoon Mrs. Flowers, a
widow, who resides at Twenty-fifth and
NJ streets, came very near meeting hor
rible death on street.
She was on her way to church, and in
alighting from one of the electric cars she
got off on the wrong side. Just as she
alighted another car came along, going in
the opposite direction. This car struck
Mrs. Flowers and knock ed her down, she
falling directly in front.
People who saw her fall uttered eX-
carnations OF horror, as it seemed to be a
certainty that the wheels would pass di-
rectly over her body. The motor-man,
however, understood his business. He
suddenly reversed the motor and clapped
on the brake, and although the platform
passed above the PROSTATE lady the
wheels did not touch her.
When she was drawn from beneath the
platform her face was bleeding badly.
She was taken to the office of physician
near by, where it was found that her in
jury was slight There was a wound
near one eye, where her face came in con-
tact with one of the rails, and she was
somewhat bruised. Her escape from
death was regarded as almost miraculous.
Passengers are warned against alight-
ing from cars on the sides near the other
track, but they sometimes forget. When
several persons alight at one place the
conductor cannot Of course, keep his eyes
on all of them; hence people should learn
to get of always on the right side OF car.

man, whose knowledge of the world and
the croOkedness of the ways of some of

his sad story to Marysville 1ppcat re-

said he had but recently arrived in this

first gone to Woodland, but not finding
anything there he had gone to Sacra-

ers' products? Can it blow hot and
cold at the same time? Can anything
be more absurd than proposition that
depends upon such statements as these
for its truth?
The IntclIigencer has been poking
some files at the REGISTER for some
time. Will the Intelligencer please gnaw
the file above presented for its mastica-
ton, and report results? And will 1t
give it's analytical mind TO the following
cOnundrums?
1. If protection does not have any
effect on prices Of products, TO maintain
them higher than foreign prices, what
good is it to put tax on the foreign
article?
.. II home competition brings down
prices Of home manufactured products
so that the consumer pays no more Tor
them than he would for the foreign ar
ticle without the tariff tax as in the case
of files, must not the wages Of the labor
err be proportionately decreased?
3. If they must not, then is there any
truth in the statement that low wages
make low prices, and we can't compete
with low prices without paying low
wages?
4. II high tariff o. farm products
either Increases or keeps up the price OF
farm products, does it not make them
dearer or at least prevent them from
becoming cheaper to the laborers en-
gagged in other industries? And do not
these laborers, therefore, have TO pay a
larger proportion Of their wages Tor the
necessaries Of life?
5. If, as tie InteligenCer and all the
other protection newspapers have been
irving TO prove for the last two years,
the Mckinley law has reduced the pirce
of commodities, ought not wages TO
have been reduced also, according TO
the logic which says that cheap goods
can only be produced by cheap labor?
g. Does not the TRteiigencer know, as
a matter of fact, that wages in the
United States have Increased just as
they have all over the civilized world,
in all empoyments where machinery
can be made 10 take the place OF hand
labor, while the prices of manufactured
articles that can be made by machinery
have decreased, la the last forty years;
and does il not also know that farm
wages aud farm products are more near
ly stable than any other form Of pro-
duct, and that the highest farm wages
is paid on the Western prairie, where
the use of machinery is possible, and
where the price of agricultural pro-
ducts is for this reason the lowest?
:. knowing these things, how can the
Intcligcucer without doing violence TO
its brain-cells, contend that protective
tariff can have any effect, such as is al
legged, on the rate of wages or the price
of products? TARIFF reform.
