The Female Suffragist Candidate
for President Arrives in New
York-She Will Take the
Stump.
New York Oct. 16.-Victoria
Claim Woodruff Martin, the cam
didate of the Women Suffragists
for the Presidency of the United
States, arrived here from her Eng
lish home ON the Etruria, which,
after a night at quarantine, reach
ed the Cunard dock at 7:3O this
morning. Her husband, Mr..
John Biddulph Martin, London
banker, who is a Wards Fair
commissioner from Great Britain,
accompanied the American presi-
Dental candidate. They were
driven to the residence of Mrs.
Martins sister. Mrs. Dennis
OHallaran, where she was seen
by the reporters. The lady said
she felt in the best of spirits, her
health was excellent and she was
eager to step on the platform or
stump once more, after sixteen
wears of retirement. Tonight she
said Mr.. Martin and she would
leave for Chicago to attend the
ceremonies of the Worlds Fair
dedication, where her husband
would represent the British COM
missioners. Immediately after
the ceremonies they will turn to
this city. when arrangements will
be completed for the campaign
speeches, which Mrs. Martin will
deliver in Boston, New York, Phi
ladelphia, Washington, Pittsburg,
Cleveland, Chicago and some
other large cities.
Mrs. Martin gave out for publ
cation her letter of acceptance of
the nomination for President by
the convention of Woman Suffra-
gists. It is addressed to Anna NJ.
Parker and others of the national
nominating convention of Woman
Suffragists. The letter begins by
stating that the nomination upon
a woman suffrage platform COM
mends itself to the writer, espe-
cially from the fact that the issue
is one originally raised and advo-
Gated by her and others as long
as 1870 before Congress, and was
afterward maintained as the prin-
cipal plank in the platform of the
woman's suffrage campaign in
1872, when my name was presen-
ted to the public as the first fe-
male candidate for President OF
the United States"

QUAY is All Right.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Sept 26.-Unlted
States Senator Matthew Stanley Quay OF
Pennsylvania passed through Jackson
willie yesterday on his way to Philadel-
adelphia, after months outing at his
cottage in st. Lucie on the Indian river
inlet.
To a reporter, Senator Quay said that
he had been practically out Of the world
for month, but that he had, OF course;
read the newspapers. When asked IL he
was returning North to take hand in
politics he said:
'The first thing do will be to consult
n physician-some specialist, probably.
Ny vertigo hasn't left me. and want to
know why, mighty quick and apply the

Mr.. Quay had been troubled with dizzy
spells before he cam9 South this time aud

Protection m Issue that VIII Win for
the Republicans.

Protection m Issue that VIII Win for
the Republicans.
The current is running strongly In favor
of protection, and unless something un-
foreseen happens President Harrison will
be reelected almost wholly on that issue.
One after another the arguments OF free
traders have been disposed of or dem o.
lished, as it were, with the overwhelmi g
facts showing the benefit Of a tariff gen.
orally and the almost unexpected results
Of the Mckinley law.
Those who had faith In protection
looked forward to period of Industrial
activity as the law became operative. but
they were hardly prepared for all that has
happened. One after another large tex
tile concerns have closed their doors on
the other side OF the Atlantic and are
now starting up on this side in American
cities with American workmen and oper-
atives. rah
silk concerns, plush factories. carpet,
fax and jute mills and those engaged Ia
making cloth and dress goods are COM
peting with each other to get here firs, to
supply the richest market In the world.
What is true in this branch of industry
is equally true OF some others. The
progress made in the manufacture of tin
plate and cotton ties makes IL certain
that another decade of protection will
make the United States master OF the
NOfiu tut iiOh
Indeed these were the only two import
ant items left for England. American
tariff laws have taken from that country
65. .O0O, 600 customers for its iron and steel
and compelle ed her to take second place as
an iron producing country. And IL the
history of such industries as steel rails
is to be repeated in tin plate and cotton
ties, we shall soon supply both those use
full commodities at prices far below their
present cost.
Under sufficient competition the price
of wire nails has gone down from 3 cents
In 1882 to 2IS cents per pound to-day. AL
though the duty was over Sl3, the av-
erage price of steel rails only differed
from "a to IS I'm England and the United
States during 1880 and 1890, the years the
above estimate Of difference in cost of
production was taken. The more indus
tries that migrate to this country the bet
ter. In doing so they employ American
labor. and ultimately give better and
cheaper manufactured goods
Within the decade ended in 1890 over
1,000, 900 persons were called into these in
dust rial operations. This means some
thing like 100000 persons engaged in
manufacturing alone, and probably not
far from %, 600 900 engaged in gainful pur-
suits. All statistics thus far made public
by the census Office show beyond the posi-
bilitv of doubt that In this period the
amount of money paid in wages has not
only immensely increased actually but
relatively.

Five children are thus left motherless
aud by the flight Of their father homeless.
The couple lived In n small cottage in the

would have proved fatal, and the des-

third thrust the knife penetrated be-

The couple had been out and Mrs.
Lanni was the first to return toward

found her on Spruce street talking to the
man whose presence in the house had be-
