HrcKinley's Pet-The Cordage Trust.

The doings Of our tariff trusts some
times come to light and give the people
an opportunity to see what becomes of
the tariff taxes which they vote to these
monopolies in order to 'protect Ameri-
can labor" The Cordage trust, known
to our tanners as the Binder Irvine trust,
has recently suffered the loss of one of
its members, Mr.. John Good, who makes
the statement in drawing out of it that
it had been paying him $3.50, 200 a year
to keep his factory shut down.
What becomes of the extra profits
which were to go to labor when a single
manufacturer thus gobbles up $3.50, 900
by shutting down his establishment and
throwing labor out of employment
And what advantage does the farmer
get from the tariff when factories are
shut down for the purpose of raising
prices? The promise of the Mckinley
ties is to increase competition, to in
crease production, and thus lower prices
to the consumer. But this result can
never follow in industries which are
controlled by trusts, since monopoly
will have its profits, whatever is left
for the laborer and the consumer.
When the Mckinley bill was under
| discussion in the United States senate
the Democrats, with the aid of half
dozen Republican senators from the
northwest, carried an amendment put.
ting binder Irvine on the free list, but
Mckinley and his followers in the house
succeeded in restoring portion of the
duty to the trust before the bill was
finally passed. But Mckinley is moi
satisfied with this result. He has ex
pressed the opinion that the duty is moi
high enough, and he has openly pledged
himself to the trust to raise the duty
whenever he finds himself able to do so
Let farmers see to it that he never get.
that opportunity.

The matter of making voters is very
simple. 1t is not painful operation, as
pulling teeth is, and no one should re.
main away through fear. 1t requires but
minute to answer ], the few questions
asked and take the oath of allegiance t.

Planning An Ingenious Escape.

DANBURY, Oct 29-Daniel Mackey and
John Green, the burglars under arrest
here for robbing st Peters church, were
caught yesterday planning very inge-
NOUS escape. A few days after the men
had been locked up Mackey asked for
writing material which were given him
with the information that the jailor
must read all letters that left the insti-
tuition. Mackey then wrote letter and
gave it to James Casey, prisoner whose
fine he paid. After Casey was released
he became alarmed and carried the letter
to the pastor of St. Peters,
who turned it over to the police. The
letter was addressed to Mackey's sister
and instructed her to send him tools to
escape with Immediately, stating that
he must get out, as there was 81, 900
job in Massachusetts that must be
attended to at once. Soon after pack
age was sent to the Jail accompanied by
letter from Mackey's sister, contain
ing a bible and two magazines. JaileI
Alexander was suspicious and thor.
oughly searched the package. He was
about to give up in the belief that il
was all right when his wife discovered

was ripped open and two files and two
saws were found, bound inside the
cover,

NAuaATuck AND VICINITY.


NAUGATUcK, OCT 29.-There were
!, 1852 votes polled in this town at the
last presidential election, as follows !:
Cleveland 55S, Harrison 538, Fisk 81,
labor and scattering 30. Our registrars
think the voting list will sum up to
800. AS this town generally falls off
from twelve to fifteen per cent it is safe
peoples party and prohibitionists
claim one hundred, but politicians
of both parties say it will
not exceed sixty. The republicans claim
they will poll six hundred on the
electoral ticket, if it is good day. The
democrats claim they will have ma
jority of one hundred. In 1872 the
democratic majority was seventy-seven,
in 1876, sixty two; in 1880, 1877; in 1884,
plurality of forty-eight; in 1888, plu-
rality of twenty. We are rather a
| ture to say that there will be as big a
surprise party in this as in any other
| town in the state on election night.
The republican town committee have
called caucus for next Tuesday night,
to nominate two candidates for repre-
sentatives, and five for justices of the
peace.

The body of DR. A Newton, 65 years
old, who disappeared mysteriously
about two months ago, was found at
Meriden yesterday. DR. Newton up to a
few years ago was one of the most
prominent dentists in Hartford. The
discovery was made by Willie Landry,
schoolboy, in clump of bushes in the
woods behind the West district school
on Main street. Not an ounce of flesh,
merely the skin, was left on the bones,
but the body was identified by the
clothing and peculiarities of the skull.
Michael Carmody, of Southington,
aged about sixty committed suicide
at about 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon
by cutting his throat with a razor.
Mental depression, caused by poor
health for some time, was the apparent
cause. He nearly severed his head
from the body and lived but a moment
after the deed was done.
Merrill II. Hathaway, of New Haven,
aged 3S, committed suicide yesterday
afternoon by hanging beneath a wagon.
Hathaway was from Springfield, Mass,

Swede, whose home is in Stony Creek,
was employed by Contractors Mcintyre
& Washburn who are at present en-
gagged in driving piles for the new
building for the Consolidated road. A
gang of men were engaged in moving
the pile driving machinery from one
place to another, and they had moved a
boiler weighing about 1000 pounds q

THE death of Richard F. Phelan re-
moves a unique figure from the COM
munity. He was one of those men that
would give rather than receive. No APP
peal for charity was ever made to him
in vain, and many a family would have
experienced the bitterness of actual
want, but for This greatness of heart.
And it was genuine charity, too, not
prompted, as is often the case, by selfish
motives. Its extent will never be
known, for he did not boast OF his good
deeds. Two or three incidents will
serve to give an insight into his nature.
One day meeting a little lad in the
street, whose coat was in tatters, he
seized the garment by the sleeves and
pulled it to pieces. OF course the boy
set up a great cry, when with a laugh
Mr. Phelan took him by the hand and
going into a clothing store near by
fitted him out with the best coat in the
house. During the Christmas holidays
last year he bought the largest turkey to
be found in a Baldwin street market
and after dark stole up the house of a
poor family in his neighborhood, opened
the door and after throwing the bundle
in upon the floor rushed away, without
making his identity known. Recently a
death occurred in a poor family. The
bereaved parents were strangers in a
strange land, did not understand the
English language and had no money to
bury their dead. Hearing of the case,
Mr. Phelan, although the people were
unknown to him, gave the child a
christian burial, paying all expenses and
himself attending the funeral. These
are only few of many SINH
lar acts that he performed. II
has been said that he gave away more
groceries than many a dealer sells, and
those in a position to know, feel that the
statement is not exaggerated. Such acts
made "Dick" Phelan hosts of friends
In his unpretentious way he accom-
plished more good than anyone is really
aware of.
Three Brooklyn girls and four young
men were the occupants of the
Naugatuck bus on its trip to Waterbury
the other night. Three of the boys were

ed one thrust his hand into his pocket

he asked, but before he had finished thu

them out, saying they would walk tt
