A SAD CHRISTMAS.
Edgar w. Logue Stricken Down While on
His Way With His Daughter to Visit
Relatives


Christmas ended in deep sorrow for a
young girl at the Eagle House in this
city. With her father, she came to Port
land Friday night on the boat from Bos-
ton. Here, the parent was overcome by
illness, which suddenly ended in death
at about 8 o'clock last evening. The
dead man was Mr.. Edgar W. Logue of
Somerville, Mass, who was connected in
business with the Boston Ice Company.
When he and his daughter, who is ap-
parently about fifteen years old, reached
here, Mr.. Logue was seized with an i'll
ness which seemed to be indigestion. 1t
was sufficiently severe to prevent his
continuing his journey to Parsonsfield
where he was to have spent Christmas
with relatives. Last night, nurse was
called in to care for the sick man. Mr..
Logue had, shortly before the arrival of
the nurse, been able to move about his
room He was in bed when the nurse
arrived and the watchman at the hotel
was in the room. The nurse, going to
the bed and looking at Mr. Logue, ex-
claimed: why, this man is dead"
Such proved to be the case. 1t is sup
posed that apoplexy was the immediate
cause of death. Kind people in the hotel
did what they could for the grief
stricken daughter Mr.. Logue was a
fine looking man apparently about 45
years old. He was a widower. His
remains will be sent to Somerville this
morning. Mr.. Logue had brother who
is with H. r. Stevens, Boston.

1t might be suggested that trade can

poorest country in the world. Mr.
Robert Gifiin, the statistician OF the

A REDUCTION OF THE TARIFF.

Reformer" Mills Gives Ills Opinion rs to
Its Enect-It would Increase Imports to
an Enormots Extent without any Cor
responding Increase In Exports he Re-
suit would lie n General Reduction OF
Wages aud Hard lines.
That great free trade "reformer," Mr..
Roger q Mills, of Texas, speaking of
the issues Of the day in recent inter
view, was asked his opinion as to the
effect of reduction of the tariff. In
answer, Mr.. Mills said
A reduction Of the tarin to % per cent. above
revenue basis would increase our imports
Ho0OOO,OoO, and that amount Of exports would
have to go out to pay for the imports.
This estimate Of the effect Of q tariff
reduction, coming from man of Mr..
Mills prominence as "reformer, NAV
be accepted as Il fairly accurate one.
We SHALL therefore, assume his figures
to be correct That n reduction of the
tariff would result in a large increase
in the amount of our importations is
self-evident According to Mr.. Mills
this increase would be about $500, 600, 900
year. Now, what does this mean?
Why, simply that IL we consume $500, e
O0l, 900 worth more of imported articles
per year, we will consume $500, 900, 900
worth less of our own manufactured
articles. In other words. our
home manufactures would be de-
creased by that amount The suf.
fering that this would entail is
almost incalculable. All the work
ingmen that are at present engaged in
producing these $500, 900, 900 worth of
manufactured articles would be thrown
out Of employment, and being drug
on the labor market, wages would fall
throughout the whole country. This
would mean n diminished purchasing
power on the part of the laboring popu-
lation, n resulting smaller demand for
tho goods OF producers of every class,
and consequent industrial stagnation
and hard times
But" says Mr.. Mills, voicing the
same old free trade theory, this would
not be so, for that amount of exports
would have TO go out to pay for the inn
ports" Is this so? Time and time
again we have shown that the amount
of exports has no connection ut all with
the amount of imports The following
table of our exports and imports since
1850 proves that an increase in exports
does not nccessitate n corresponding in
crease in imports, but that often an in
crease in exports Is accompanied by n
decrease in imports:

What, then, can we expect in the
futureP Experience has shown that the
very opposite of Mr.. Mills theory Is
true. SO that, while giving foreigners
n market for over $500, 900, 900 worth OF
goods, we could not expect to sell them
much more than in the past. Since,
therefore, we could not pay for their
goods by sending them ours in return,
we would have to pay for them in
money; and the exporting OF such an
amount especially now, when the in
terests Of the country demand n stable
monetary system, would cause fnan-
cial panic the like OF which, even dur
ing the golden era" OF revenue tariff,
the country has never known.
