me that the spirit in which this conven-
tion has approached this subject is the
profession of the belief that New York
Democrats will be loyal anyhow, and
because they will be loyal they must be
outraged by the party which depends on
their loyalty"
Outraged Tammany must carry New
York for Cleveland unless New York is
to be Republican. Will or can Tam
many do so? "I warn this convention" !"
said Cochran, "from the experience of
every Democrat who has carried the
State of New York-and no Democrat
has failed to do it in nine years except
Grover Cleveland-that you cannot get
the Mugwump vote without driving
away one hundred thousand Democratic
votes.
81 warn you, gentlemen, that this step
which you are about to take is fraught
with imminent peril to the Democratic
party"
Cochran spoke truth, and Cochran is
applauded, but what of the practical re-
suits of his truth speaking9 A "master-
piece" of oratory which demonstrates
the impossibility of Democratic success
is hardly of the most useful variety.
Cochran practically comedies New
York to Harrison.

SWALLOWING THE CROW.

The New York Sun swallows its crow
promptly and heroically, but with an
awful grimace, that testifies to its
stomachs torture. "Better VOTE" it
says, "for the liberty and the white
government Of the Southern States, even
if the candidate were the devil himself,
rather than consent to the election of
respectable Benjamin Harrison with q
Force bill in his pocket"
Colored citizens North and South
should forgive its scream of nausea,
for it is not at the moment fully re-
sponsible.
''The devil himself" at Gray Gables
had 80 much to forgive before, that -0ne
additional insult doesn't matter.

show why and how the United States has
outstripped her.
The example of the printers, cited by
Mr.. Lansing in his very interesting let
ter is case, in point. In Glasgow, a
city OF 10000 inhabitants, these receive
Is cents per thousand ems for setting
type on book work, which is protected in
this country by tariff on books. The
American rate, in cities of like size, va
ries from 40 cents for day work to 80
cents for night work, for the same
amount. The British printer may earn
from 81 to % a week-not more, for
British newspaper type, at least, is set
very solid and without display head
lines. Upon the PROVIDENCE NEWS,
with no longer hours, journeymen print
ers earn from SIT to S21 a week. AT
night work upon New York daily they
can earn even more.
If higher wages increase proportion
ally the cost of the finished product, our
free trade friends have an argument in
rebuttal. But this is not the case.
Fortunately, exact information on this
point is not lacking. The advertising
manager of Pears soap, an Englishman
himself, testifies that the cost of adver-
tising--the most important salable net
product of the combined printing trades
lis only thirteen Tor fifteen, we quote
from memory per cent. higher here
than in England.
The workman's wages are $50 to 200
per cent. higher. The finished product
costs to the consumer only thirteen or
fifteen per cent. more. This is how the
tariff works in one industry. We might
instance others and shall doubtless do SO
in subsequent issues of the daily and
weekly News. Wemight quote Mr.. w.
Smith as to the pay of railway porters
baggage handlers) who get 16 shillings
or SO. "a week for twelve hours daily
work; of teachers in the board schools
who serve some years for nothing and
afterward for mere pittance; of the
miners, of the tin plate workers who in
their present misery do not agree with
American Mugwumps that Yankee tin
plate is a myth.
But one instance suffices as well as
many. For the present we will content
ourselves with stating the general law
that the tariff greatly increases the
wages of American workingmen, those
indirectly protected as well as those
directly, while only slightly increasing
if at all the cost of living that it builds
up home market for our farmers by
greatly increasing population and stimu-
lating every branch of productive in
dustry; that it is of especial and i'm
perative need to RHODE ISLAND as a
manufacturing State. Proof and illus
trations will be abundantly offered in
future issues of the News.

THE TARIFF.

Eight years have passed since the
chief Republican journal of RHODE
ISLAND deserted its party in the crisis
of the Blaine campaign. Since that
memorable year and until the coming
of the NEWS last September the truth
about the tariff was not told in PRovI-
pENcE.
Falsehood travels far while truth is
putting on her boots. The NEWS does
not fiatter itself that it has succeeded
in eight months in undoing all the mis-
chief that its great rival has been for
eight years employed in doing to our
industries and our national policy. We
offer no apology for dwelling at length
on the tariff policy of the Republican
party. That policy bears the brunt of
Democratic and Mugwump attack in
this as in every campaign. 1t is the
vital issue. 1t underlies our prosperity.
1t renders possible our sublime national
growth. 1t has made us what we are.
The NEWS proposes to discuss the tar
iff very thoroughly in this campaign.
1t proposes to discuss it historically and
statistically, to show why it is necessary,
what it has done, what it will do, to
stimulate National prosperity. If there
are Republicans who feel that we are
thrashing old straw we ask them to re-
member that since 1884, when sanity
few away from the Journal Office and
Republicanism became silent and pro-
scribed in this State of its up-building.
a vast body of new voters have came in
to the State, some from other States,
some from Canada, some from Europe,
some grown mp from our own public
schools. We would ask them to remem-
ber that the delegates at Minneapolis
were old men and middle aged; that
those at Chicago were younger that If
the Republican party does not pursue a
campaign of education with younger
and newer voters the battle is lost and
the grass may soon grow in the streets
of your mill towns, and their children
be begging bread. This is serious bust
ness, in RHODE ISLAND and in the union.
Man can only judge the future by the
past and the present. II was TO deter

SERIOUS COLLISION.
The Ella NJ. Doughty Struck by the Nellie
Burns.

A serious marine accident was very
narrowly averted Tuesday night. 1t was
about II. 10 clock, and the famous fish
ing schooner Ella M. Doughty, Captain
Levi Alexander, owned by Sargent, Lord
& Skillin of this city, was jogging or
lying to about six miles off Cape Eliza
beth, on her way out for a fishing trip
The Doughty had her lights up and her
lookout on hand as vessel should I'M
der such circumstances. The larger
part of her crew of fourteen fishermen
were sleeping in their hunks in the fore
castle. At the same time the fishing
schooner Nellie Burns, Captain William
Holbrook, owned by the Long Wharf
Fish Company, was coming into Port
land with fare of fish which she had
caught There was stiff breeze and
the Burns was dashing through the
waves at a high rate of speed. Her
lookout should have seen the Doughty
and warned the helmsman, but for some
reason, either because he did not see
OF was not at his post he failed, and
the Burns was close to the other schoon-
er before there was any warning. Cap
tain HolbrooK was just coming up the
companion way when he espied the light
of the Doughty, a little on the lee bow.
He at once shouted to the helsman to
put the helm up; but the latter, eithe
misunderstanding or being ratified, put
the helm down. Captain Holbrook at
once sprang to the wheel and put it u p
but it was too late. The Burns dashe d
upon the Doughty as if to cut her in tw o
and send her and her sleeping crew to
the bottom But remarkable chance
saved the disaster The point of the
bowsprit of the Burns hit the foremost
of the Doughty fair, and instead of slip
ping by, the whole force of the momen..
tum was caught by those two poles. The
foremost of the Doughty snapped like a
pipe stem, breaking in two places, while
the bowsprit of the Burns was complete
ly smashed. But the force of the i'm
pact was broken, and the hulls of the
two schooners escaped without serious
damage. Three of the crew of the
Doughty, F. N. Woodbury., E.. R. Clark
and I. L. Horr were sleeping in the
hunks near where the Burns struck. One
of them was thrown out and two of
them stunned. Otherwise no one was
hurt.
The damage to the (. Doughty will
amount to $500 or $500, which will be
promptly paid by the Long Wharf Fish
| Company, as Mr.. Trefethen acknowl-
edges candidly that his company's vessel
was to blame.
