The Democratic press of the state
have lnaugurated a campaign of mud
and filth in regard to the Republican
candidates for supreme judge and at
terney-general; but this will react, as
both these gentlemen are citizens ire
proachable In character and of great
moral worth. 1t is not advisable in
politics to publish falsehoods regarding
an opposing candidate, as the Ameri-
can people are inclined to discrimina-
tion, and cannot be influenced to
change their political preferences by
reason of false charges brought into
life during q political campaign. We
are thankful that not single Repub-
lican paper has attempted to transfer
the political contest from logical dis
cussion of the tariff to battle on
Mud fiat or Filth alley.

After q generation of protection" the
American farmer is to-day more dependent
upon foreign market and is forced to find
sale abroad for larger proportion of what
he produces than he was in 1850 under the
''free-trade' tarlff.-Marion County Demo-
crat.
In 1916 the tariff of 1912 was re-
pealed, and the country continued un-
der free-trade until 1861, when the
Morrill, bill was passed. One of the
principal planks in the Republican
platform of 1860 was one in favor of
protective duties, and on this Mr..
Lincoln was elected that year. This
was deemed necessary because the
financial panic of 1857 was directly
traceable to the repeal of the tariff
laws. Since 1850 nearly all the

MARsEILLEs, May 31-Mails which
have just arrived from Mauritius confirm
the statement that 1900 persons were
killed and 1000 injured in the recent
hurricane. The hurricane was preceded
by violent magnetic disturbance and
the sea rose nine feet, the highest level
since the cyclone of 1918. Scarcely a
house in the colony escaped damage.
The dead include large number OF the
leading IL rhabitants. Fearful sights were
witnessed IN the streets. A factory on
the Martin estate collapsed, killing 200
Indians. Half the sugar crop is destroyed.
About noon the storm broke and for 80
minutes the pitless tornado ragged, accom-
panied by deluge of rain. The barome-
ter suddenly began to rise, the wind
lulled, and many people went out. be
lieving all danger passed. At 8 O'Clock
the wind burst again In tenfold violence
from directly the opposite quarter. The
fury was maintained two bours At 6
o'clock the weather again became calm.
Fires then broke out in the eastern sub
urbs and destroyed what the wind had
spared.

ALBANY. N. Y, June 2.-For several
days Robert H. Benedict, of Victoria, B
c., has been in Albany trying to form o
company for transportation to Chicago OF
the first steamer that ever entered the
Pacific ocean around Cape Horn. He
feels confident of the success of bis
project. Benedict is one of the owners
of the famous little steamer the Beaver.
She was the first of her kind to leave
England, brave the dangers of the cape
and sail into the Pacific. This was in
1885. All her original machinery and
the live oak timbers of her hull are as

WASHINGTON, May 31.-In senate the
calendar was laid aside at O'Clock, and
the bill to provide for the free coinage of
gold and silver was taken up. There
were then about dozen senators on each
side of the chamber. Sherman had been
in his seat for the preceding half hour
waiting for the bill to be taken up. Teller
and Stewart were also present in frequent
consultation. Sherman prefaced the
speech on the silver bill by saying he did
not regard it as partisan measure. or a
political measure, on which the parties
would likely divide. 1t was largely a
local measure. There was no question to
be compared with it in importance, or in
Its effects on the business interests of the

at first supposed, the reports of damage
coming from as far east as Durango, at

people are homeless, and 5000 houses in
Port Louis are in ruins. Lieutenant
Berkely Hill says the scene at Port Louis
on Sunday was most dreadful, and the
stencil from the many decomposing
corpses lying in the ruins was sickenlng.
Search for the bodies is horrid work.
There is employment for 5000 men if we
had them. All the drains are blocked,
and it is feared an epidemic of violent
disease will follow the stagnation of sew

TIN PLATE AGAIN.

The last report of the American
Iron and Steel Association, says an
eastern exchange, takes note of sour
new tin-plate industry" IN fact it de-
votes about three of its elghty-three
pages to it. 1t says that in February,
1892, there were twenty tin-plate
works in operation in this country, or
ready to commence operation, and ten
in course of construction, and that
since then several have gone into
operation, and some new ones have
got under way of construction. So
much for the number of works created
by the Mckinley bill.
Now as to its effect upon prices. In
January, 1890, ons year. and seven
months before the tariff giving pro-
lection to American tin-plate had
gone into operation, the average price
of /. G. Coke Bessemer tin plates, free
on board ship at Liverpool, for the
American market, was l6s 5d, Eng
lish morey, being very trifie less
than 81 per box. 1t maintained
steady increase during nearly every
month of that year, till in December
it stood at It's Sd, or at 81. IA per box.
In February, of 1891, six months be-
fore the Mckinley tariff on tin-plate
went into effect, the price at Liverpool
for American shipment was 1Ss, or
$4.32.
But in January, 1892, six months
after the increased protection to
American made plate, the price at
Liverpool for shipment to New York
had fallen to l2s 10d, or rather less
than So. %, and IN April of this year
it had made another drop of 10 cents.
The lesson is plain; the British ex-
porter of tin-plate is paying the greater
part of the increase Of the tariff, in
order to get his goods into competition
with the American product.
English prices for export to Ameri-
ca have fallen, as the figures just
quoted prove. Let us see if the very
smell residue of Increased tariff that
lies between the old duty of cent
and the new one of I-5 cents, after
the British reduction of price is allowed
for, has been added to the price paid
by the American consumer.
1t has not. For the price of In
ported Bessemer bright tin-plates was
$5.47 in New York during February,
1891, six months before the increase of
duty,and S. in February, 1892, EIGHT |
months after it had gone into effect.
American made tln-plate now has a
firm footing In the market, and it will |
keep it, and its ultimate effect will be
to lower prices and improve quality. |
Besides which, it will give employ
ment to thousands of American peo-
pie, and will keep millions of Ameri-
can dollars at home that heretofore
have been sent to England.

PROTECTIVE POLICY.


nurtured in the Democratic faith. and
have adopted thu policy of that party
without realizing how it applies to the
advancement of the general progress
Of the American nation. There is no
doubt that the privilege of establish
ing foreign trade which would be of
local assistance would be acceptable in
many localities; but when we realize
that human selishness establishes it
self in the interests Of any trade where
it has no competition, to qualify and
control that trade; he who buys the
products of foreign labor and of for
eign machinery must see that he feeds
foreign labor, establishes and fosters
foreign industries, pays foreign taxes,
simply for the difference between the
cost of foreign-made commodities and
American-made commodities, which
must be maintained if we would pay
American labor employed in the man
ufacturing thereof a fair return for Its
efforts, instead of paying such en-
ployed labor what foreign labor is
forced to receive for the same work.
Our object in establishing and pro-
posing to maintain country of indie
pendence, to build interests in behalf
of the American nation, demanded,
first of all, after having by blood and
the most determined warfare estab-
lished independence, that the nation
defend its people in their own indus
tries, and by united power build for
the inhabitants every privilege which
is a comfort to them.
The wonderful prestige of such a
policy, when faithfully applied, either
in civil or industrial life as we'll as in
the profound progress of nation, is
shown in the immense advancement of
the American nation, which has made
but little change, since the policy was
forced upon the nation by the necessi-
ties of the civil war.
And this unqualified power, greater
under the foundations of the United
States, than under the structure of any
foreign nation, has been builded and
established by sovereignty of ele-
ments and resources, managed, quail
fed and diversified by the national
government in behalf of its own
people.
We have no objection to reciprocity
of interests and of exchange with the
nations of the world; but never to
give other nations free privilege to
step upon American soil, and plan our
domestic laws and enactments in the
express privilege of the people oftheir
country regardless of the progress
of our own people.
1t is not strange that commerce,
which is largely under the influence of
foreign capital and of foreign infu-
ences, should favor a policy which
would increase the earnings of CON-
mercial capital and of foreign trade;
but in consideration of such ques-
tion there are always two sides to be
examined. What is for the inter
est of commercial investment and
trade with foreign countries is
very largely directly against the
the same interests of our own country;
and If we are forced to purchase for
eign merchandise, allowing foreign low
priced labor to come directly in COM
petition with American labor in the
of the same commodities,
we assist in driving our own labor to
the wall.
