With the FIRST appearance OF financial
distrust and depression in the country
came the cry of the protected that hard
times were upon us because the great
industrial interests must become In
active until they knew definitely what
a democratic congress would do by way
of revising the present tariff laws
When the president issued his call for
an extra session and concisely set forth
his reasons for so doing, the beneiicia-
ries of the Mckinley legislation were
still active in proclaiming that relief
was not to be found through financial
legislation of a reformatory character,
but must be sought for in an assurance
to the country that the special favors
now granted certain great interests
would not be withheld. The New York
Tribune at first commended the action
of the president and declared that he
had found the true solution of the
problem, but it soon adjusted its tone
to that of the protected barons and
placed the responsibility for the strin'
gency upon the dread of manufacturers
that tariff legislation vas to be revised.
Republican members in either branch
of congress have taken the same view.
Reed in the house and Sherman in the
senate declared that the repeal Of the
law which bears the latter's name
would not bring the relief sought for.
The shrewd political manipulators OF
the entire republican party have striven
to make political capital out OF the
stress of the times. Their double pur-
pose was to relieve the party of the
odium attaching to its responsibility
for the Sherman bill, and at the same
time to set public opinion against the
of the laws under which the
protected have amassed wealth from
the tribute exacted of the masses. They
wish to minify the iniquity Of one bad
law of their making and to guard against
the revision Of the other.
But the facts are entirely against
them. Their hypocrisy and bad faith
ire made apparent in what has trans
since the converting of congress.
The Wilson bill passed the house and
t is certain that a like measure will
'eceive the approval Of the senate.
The country knows that the repeal OF
he Sherman law is no longer in doubt.
Immediately the signs of restored cor
idence are apparent all along the line.
Nowhere are these evidences more APP
than among the industrial in.

To make the case still stronger
against the theory that dread of tariff
revision precipitated hard times, the
work preliminary to that revision, to be
made in response to the declared will of
the majority Of the people, has already
commenced. The ways and means
committee has had it under considera-
ton for several days, and the men who
are clamoring for a hearing before it
are OF the protected class which were
supposed to have withdrawn their
money from business and closed down
their establishments through fear.

it. yet they have resumed business, re.

Mehlnleys statement of the
production OF last quarter is added to
complete the table, These figures show
a large increase in every quarter since
the Soth OF September last year. They
certainly do not show that McKinleys
special proteges, the tin plate makers,
were frightened into wholesale cur.
taiiment of production and dismissal
OF employees by the prospects of free
trade in tin plate. Thus Mckinley him
self furnishes a complete refutation of
his assumption and assertion that the
curtailmcnt of production and "bus,.
ness gloom have been caused by fear
tariff reform. In the case of tin
plate there was, by his own showing,
every reason to fear, not merely rev.
tariff but absolutely free trade;
and yet, also by his own showing, there
was not only no depression but rapid
growth in his pet industry from the
time OF the democratic triumph last
to the latest quarter for
which the statistics have been pub
ished. No furtl. err refutation is needed. !

THREE PERSONS KILLED

tween steam and Street Cars.

CHCAuo, July 1s.-An incoming passen-
ger train on the Grand Trunk road ran
down a crowded street car last night, kill
ing three people and injuring q number of
others
The collision occurred at the Forty-ninth
street crossing, which is network Of
tracks, and has always been regarded as a
dangerous crossing. A long freight train
going west had just passed and the tower
man, George Barnett, had raised the gates.
This was taken AS signal that the way
was clear and the driver started to drive
across the track.
just as the car reached the track the
train struck it squarely in the center. The
car was hurled 30 feet from where it was
struck. Some of the passengers managed
to save themselves by jumping but the
majority were caught Thomas Perkins
and Margaret Murphy were frightfully
mangled. The two women killed were un-
known.
