has overtaken the Brazilian warship
Solimoes, off this coast She was dis
patched from Rio de Janeiro some DAYS
since to act as convoy to the flotilla
which carried troops TO aid in quelling
the rebellion in the brazilian state of
Matte Crosse. The Hotilla had come on
ahead of the Solimocs and was up the
river awaiting her arrival, in order TO
proceed by way of the Paraguay river

force was sent by rail. II was to 90 TO
the end of the railroad route and then
march into Matte Crosse, where, after
being Joined by the troops from the
flotilla, the combined forces were to at
tack the capital of the state. The crew
of the warship numbered 1877 men.
As she was fitted out for active
service, II Is probable that she did
not carry any small boats. Owing to
the dangerous nature of the low and
sandy Uruguayan seacoast, she had
pilot aboard just as the Solimoes was
off Polonio island, near Point Negra
Castillos, she struck rock violently,
bows on. The sea was very rough at
the time. All the crew were under
matches except four sailors and the
pilot. Two of the sailors acted as look.

wheel. Through the immense hole
made in her hull the water rushed so
fast and furious that the vessel sank al

the four sailors who were on deck saved
their lives. The pilot also escaped. One
hundred and twenty-three lives were
lost.
The unfortunate men did not even
get chance to gain the deck. They

A CAMPAIGN oE LYING.

Tho Attitude Of the Democrats Of Ohio on
the Wool Question In IsS3-Thcn They
! We're In Favor Of Duty on Wool, and
! Claimed that Free Wool Would Merely
benefit the New England Monopolists
at the Expense OF ohio Farmers.
Hon. Robert +. Doan, of Ohio, In con.
grcss the other day, created no end of
mcrriment ON the republican side, and
no little confusion among the free trade
"reformcrs." by quoting from demo.
cratic pamphlet circulated In his state
during the campaign of 1888 The tariff
act of that year, wherein the duties on
wool were slightly reduced, had just
become law, and the democratic lead
ers called upon the people to resent tho
injury thus inflicted upon their great
industry of wool growing, and place the
democrats in power who promised TO
restore the old higher rates on wool.
II was assurcdly an appropriate time
for MIR. Doan TO produce the document
embodying these sentiments at time
when he himself was In the act of dis
charging the duty Of protesting in the
name Of Ohio wool growers against the
passage of bill, introduced by demo
Gratis, championed by democrats, and
since become n law by democratic votes,
which meant not merely reduction in
wool duties, but absolute free trade in
wool
After n long dissertation embracing
many figures ON the Importance of Ohio
wool growing, the democratic pamphlet
of 1888 continues:
The republican president, tarin commission
uNAn a.
OF Now England, wantonly ana wickedy re.
Suctd the duty on wool, 50 us to enable foreign
producers to compete advantugcously with m.
tive growers. Theuyoragc reduction Of the duty,
you will remember, was eighteen per cent only
And again:
with the reduction Of eighteen per cent. the
abandonment, 10 . great extent, Of sheep raising
must inevitably follow, II the pornicious course
designed by the republican party is allowed 10
be carried out
We are curious To know what the
democrats who industriously circulated
that document in 1883 have TO say of
the Springer free wool bill? And what
consequences they thinl, must inevita-
bly, follow" the total abolition Of wool
duties? but the Ohio campaigners did
not coniine themselves TO general state
mcnts merely, but assumed To speak for
the democratic party Said they:
The democratic party, rs the facts show, have
been steadily and earnestly opposed TO the per.
pctraiion Of this great wrong against the people.
So II seems that the Mckinley prices
lies, and the snap Judgment wrcnchcd
from the people by them in 1890, were
not new dodge of the democrats. 1t Is
not without interest to also note that
the campaign Of lying Of 1883 was sue
ccssful, too. democratic governor hay
ing been elected by II good plurality.
But then, rs now. the triumph was
brief. Ohio went for Blaine with
whoop the next year, just as 1t went for
Mckinley last year and will go for the
protectionist candidate this fall. And
the other states whose people were lied
to in 1890 will follow Ohio's example.
The day Of wrath for the Mckinley
prices liars is drawing near II rarely

In the Rhode Island election on April
o, protection achieved u signal victory.
Senator Aldrich, who stood sponsor to
the Mckinley bill in the senate and
was as closely identified with that meas
urc as Mckinley himself, was trium-
phantly reelected in the face Of the
concentrated efforts of the national
democracy TO defeat him. The state
ticket was elected, the principal officers
by II clear majority vote, though not be-
fore since the extension of the fran
chisc, which was made some years ago,
has the state given anything except "A
substantial democratic plurality. The
battle was fought on purely national
issues and the national representatives
of both parties presented them. Even
the Hon. Grover Cleveland entered the
state and cNhorted its people, in the
very shadow of the factories on which
their subsistence depended, to vote for
their destruction. All the conditions for
n fair and free pronouncemcnt ON the
question Of protection as against free
trade reform" were present, and, ns
has always been the case under such
circumstances, the people chose protec-
ton.
1t is impossible TO ovcrestimate the
significance of the victory. To have
held its own against the frantic efforts
of the free trade orators, headed by
democratic eX-presidcnt, who person
ally represented the platform upon
which his party stood, would have bea5
cause for congratulatioG. tut TO change
a normal democratic plurality into u
safe and clear republican majority
ought 90 inf,sc new life and courage
into every friend Of American industry.
