The Direct Trade Movement.

The line of steamers, for which Strachan
& Co. are the agents, which has been estab~
lished between this port and some OF the
ports of Europe, can hardly be called a
direct trade line. 1t is, however, a step In
the direction of direct trade. If the steamers
leave this port at fixed dates throughout
the year it will not be long before freight of
one kind and another will be collected for
them throughout the territory tributary to
Savannah. But as they will mob return to
Savannah by direct route they will hardly
get any freight for this port
But the fact that a line of steamers leaves
Savannah regularly for European ports
will have the effect OF calling attention to
Savannah's advantages for direct trade.
Messrs. Stovall and Avery are still work
ing theoretically at their direct trade
project, and they seem 10 be confident OF
success. Their effort now is to get the rail-
roads interested. They believe that with
reasonable amount Of encouragement
from the railroads they will be able to give
direoE trade trial within the next few
months. They are assured of plenty of
business for steamers bound for Europe,
but they haven't sufficient assurances of
| business for steamers coming in this
direction to justify them in saying the line
will be established. They ought however,
to get such assurances. The territory
| tributary 20 the railroads leading into
Savannah ought to do enough importing to
furnish two steamers a month with cargses

Badly Ady.sed Strikers.

The Homestead strikers who have had
Manager Frick and other Carnegie officials
arrested on the charge OF murder have
been very badly advised. Nothing that has
appeared in the public prints shows that
there's any ground upon which to base such
a charge, and IL is safe TO say that the
charge cannot be sustained
IL will hardly be denied that Manager
Prick had legal right to put 300 or any
other number OF Pinkerton man IN the
Homestead mills il be wanted TO. he was
breaking no law Of the land In having them
taken 10 the mills In barges, and nobody
would have been hurt II the strikers
had not entered upon ths property Of the
Carnegie company and attempted to pre-
vent the Pinkerton men from landing.
It is probable that the strls ors hope to
prove that the Pinkerton men were an
armed force that attempted TO enter the
Homestead mills without authority by law,
and that they fred upon the strikers " it'll
out any provocation. But evidence Of that
character would not be sufficient to justify
the indictment Of Manager Frick and his
fellow officials for murder As a matter of
fact, It will not be possible to produce such
evidence if the Newspaper statements of the
Homestead trouble are anywhere near
correct.
The truth is the strikers were the ag-
gressors. They had no business to break
into the Enclosure Of the Homestead mills
and attempt to prevent the landing of the
Pinkerton men. They were wholly in the
wrong In that matter and they will soon
find out they were.
Judge Ewing, OF the criminal court of
Pittsburg, commenting on the charge
against Manager Frick and the other Off
cials, said that the Pinkerton msn were
legally on the barges and that the strikers
were illegally on the shore, and that the
men on the barges had right to use ali
necessary force to maintain possession OF
the property OF which they were in
charge. 1t was a matter of very
little consequence, the judge said,
whether the strikers or the men on the
barges hred the first shot. The strikers on
the bank. he declared, were in the wrong
from the start.
Such a statement from the judge before
whom the cases will be tried, IL an indiot-
ment is found, ought to be sufficient to show
| The strikers that they are simply wasting
time and money in prosecuting Manager
Frick and the others whom they have had
arrested. The prosecution will only serve
| to bring out more clearly their own illegal
| acts.
Whether or not 1t is advisable to permit
the Pinkertons to send armed forces to as
sist capitalists who are having trouble with
their employees is a question that congress
will likely pass uooR, built has nothing to
do with the question of whether the Car
negie officials are guilty Of murder. 1t is
not improbable that there will be lsgisla-
ton that will put check upon the growing
Importance and influence Of cAe Pinksrtons.
Such legislation seems to be called for, aud
would meet with general approval. The
strikers, however, will gain nothing by
prosecuting the Carnegie officials.

1nadvertantlz old-fashioned.


They were lingering in the deepening twi-
light Of the front hall says the Detroit Tribune.
1t was hard for him to leave. Standing to-
gether there with soft glance directed into
eyes that spake back love divine, they presented
pretty picture.
And. will you always love me?'
The confidence Of his bearing indicated that
he had canvassed the situation previously yet
the trusting girl seemed rejo!ced to reply:

She rested her brown curls trustfully upon
his shoulders.

Slowly the color returned to her beautlful

Her lips moved as If to utter a reproach.

Altogether Too Neighborly

certain amiable young housewife, who pre-
sides over a comfortable suite Of apartments In
Harlem, is convinced that there is such thing
as being too neighborly, says the New York
Tribune Her neighbors on the floor above
convinced her. When the aforesaid neighbors
moved into the building, the first OF last May,
this amiable housewife considerably sent her
neatly -aproned domestic upstairs to inquire If
there was anything that she could do to add to
the comfort OF the new-o 1mers. Down came a
prompt request for the loan OF a hammer and a
stewpan. When the stewpan was returned 1t
was cracked. but that fact did not deter the
neighboEs" from asking for bar of soap and a
few matches. The latter articles they forgot to
return, but they kept up the borrowing habit
steadily, and did not get real out-sndout re-
buff until last week. when the young daughter
of the neighbors' family came to the anna
BILE housewives door, and after stating that her
mother had unexl ected guests to dinner, begged
the loan of pie for dessert. You will have to
excuse me-" said the amiable housewife, with
gentle frgidity, q. am out OF pies just now,
and If had one would not care to lend it."

MoKinley's sophistry.

Ia his speech at Beatrice, Neb.. the other
day, Mai Mckinley undertook to show that
the tariff which bears his name is a good
thing for the farmers. His argument, in
substance was this: In order for the farm
ers 90 get good prices for their products it is
necessary for them to have good home
market. The manufacturing industries will
provide the home market. The wise policy,
therefore, is to protect the manufacturing
industries, and thus increase the number Of
them.
The fallacy in Nal McKinley's argu-
msnt is shat there never has been time in
the history Of this country, and it is likely
there never will be, when the manufact-
uring industries will provide home mar
ket sufficient to consume all the staple farm
products OF the country. After many
years Of the protective System the home
market does not come any nearer con-
Stunning the staple farm products
than II did when the high pro
techve system was inaugurated.
There would be some force in Maj. Mo-
Kinley's argument If he could show there
is probability that the time will come
when the demand Of the home market for
farm products will he equal to the supply.
The farmers have TO find market in
other countries for their surplus wheat,
pork and cotton, and the prices for their
products are fixed in those foreign markets.
The manufacturers Of cotton goods in this
country do not fix the prices Of cotton.
These prices are fixed in Liverpool and in
the commercial cities OF the continent How
then does this home market, which Maj.
Mckinley talks about enlarging by means
Of the protective system, benefit the cotton
grower? The increase in the volume OF the
cotton crop is more rapid than the increase
10 the capacity OF the home cotton market,
and even IL It were less rapid the prices OF
cotton would be fixed in foreign markets
as long as there is a surplus to go to those
markets.
Nal. Mckinley Is not honest In his talk to
the farmers. He presents to them a oon-
dition OF affairs that has no existence, and
is not likely to have. He Is making the
same argument to the farmers that the pro-
tectionists have been making ever since the
protective system was adopted.
In the meantime the farmers have bean
poyAb6 oHo w poJ All won hBAL-
cultural implements and machinery, and
for their clothing and household effects
the very high prices of the protective sys-
tenn. The farmer gets none of the benefits
of the protective tariff and is saddled with
all the burdens Of it. He is compelled to
sell in the cheapest market and to buy In
the dearest. 1t is not to be wondered at,
therefore, that the farmer ;s poor. Hs Is
robbed Of his profits on the plea that il is
necessary to build up home market for
bis products, bat he has never yet received
the promised benefits Of this home market,
and it is not likely to. II is to be regretted
that Maj. Mckinley doesn't deal squarely
with the farmers and tell them the exact
truth about the protective system, so far
as it concerns them. But IL he should do
that there would soon be very little left Of
the Republican party.

1t was unfortunate that any reference
was made to Fort Pillow at the mass meet =
ing in Gainesville, Fla. the other day. 1t
was probably some idle and thoughtless ne
gro who said that the colored people must
and would take up arms, if necessary, to
force the democratic whites to give them
their rights. The better class OF colored
people-and the majority Of them belong TO
the better class-do not approve Of any
such utterance or sentiment They know
that they will get their rights and that all
talk of arming to obtain justice is folly.
The white democrats osn afford to ignore
all such stuff. There will be no arming Of
the blacks and no Fort Pillow business in
the south this fall. The quiet election in
Alabama is an earnest OF the peace that
will prevail throughout the south next No
vember.

A Warm Weather Wish.
From Horper's Young People.

It seems TO me these summer days
If could be a simple frog,
And nothing do but blink and laze
Upon a half.submerged log;
To fall asleep meath lily pads,
To have no solitary care.
To bend beneath no mortal fads,
I'd find life bliss beyond compare.
And surely were l that blest wight
That frog-with naught to do but soak
In fresh cool water day and night,
I'd not be known like him TO croak.
But, with birdlike. joyous trill,
I'd fill the ponds, the streams. the boys,
All, Fate had in this my will,
I'd show you something new in frogs.

Balfour has been a thorn In the flesh of the

independent of thu Tariff.

Mr.. Potter, the superintendent of the
Homestead mills, is quoted In the New Yorx
Sun, a strong protection Journal as follows:
The Carnegie company has from it's earli-
est existence been replacing men with
machines. The steel industry has, with US,
reached that point where mere Drawn and
muscle must give way to brain and inge-
nuty. 1t is not at all owing to protection
that we are able TO underssll our English
competitors. We are, in fact, so far ahead
of them in the matter OF improved me-
chanical appliances that we can compete
with them regardless, OF the tariff. The
Homestead mill is virtually new mill, aad
the same tonnage can be produced In it
at the present time with 1000 men tn at
could have been produced ten years ago
with FIVE times thai many"
II the protective tariff Is not necessary to
the existence of the steel Industry in this
country why is that such a tariff is main
tainedf That is a question that the oon-
suners of steel rails and other articles of
steel In this country would like to have
answered.
If our steel manufacturers can compste
with the steel manufacturers of England in
the markets Of the world why should the
people Of this country be forced to pay a
great deal more ton for steal rails than the
English people payl II the tariff on steel
rails were removed the cost Of railroads per
mile would be great deal less, and, con-
sequently, the transportation rates
could be greatly reduced. Congress
ought to investigate this statement Of Supt.
Potter at once, and IL it is found to be cor
rect even the Republican party would have
no excuse for insisting upon the prohibitory
tariff ON the products OF the steel industry
