prepare to take Q stand with other in
dustries Of the country.
The dutieg upon imported tobacco
leaf, suitable for clear wrappers, which
were enormously advanced by the act OF
1890, have been placed at such figures
as were deemed likely to produce the
most revenue to the treasury.
"Oi the staple agricultural products,
including meats and provisions,
we are such large exporters and
must continue to be, that any duties
upon thsm are useless for protection
and fruitless for revsnue, for the pro-
ducers OF our great export staples.
which, having fully supplied the home
market. must overflow and geek larger
purchasers elsewhere. The only effect
OF protective tariff is to take away
from them one-fourth to one-half the
products for which they could exchange
their surplus in the open market.
upon the larger sizes OF plate glass.
where the duties were even higher, we
have made reduction OF about one
third.
NA- WV AtCh anu bIocl nCloQuio, Uo-
ginning with free ore and duty OF 81 Il
per cent on pig iron, we have reduced
the scale OF duties considerably below
those ct the existing law, graduated ac-
cordlng to the degree of manufacture.
The duty upon stsel rails has been
put at 20 per cent. There seems to be
an authentic report that the pool Of
American rail-mskers which, under the
shelter OF the present duty, $19 A per
ton, has kept up prices to the American
consumer far beyond the cost of
production and legitimate profite,
has been re-organzed to continue
the regulation of prices above
the proper market rates. As all ship
pers, and especially American Shippers.
are vitality interested in cheapening the
cost OF transportation, the rates of duty
upon steel rails should be adjusted so as
to protect them from monopoly prices
and monopoly combinations.
Upon tin plate the duty has been
gsuged with reference to the revenue it
will bring into the treasury, and the
difference between this duty and that
upon black plate has been leseened with
view to discourage what may not un-
justly be called the bogus industry oi
making American tin plate by the mere
dipping in this country OF imported
black plates.
TO the farmers of the country we
have given untsxed agricultural impls.

cotton ties. for the additional reason in
the latter case. that cotton, which is the
largest export crop of the country sold
abroad, is in competition with the cheap
labor OF India and Egypt.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.--The debate ex-
pectsd in the senate on the presidents
message was sverted by Hoar, whose
motion to refer the message and the ac-
companying documents to the commit
tee on foreign relations was the pending
question before the senate, yielded to
Berry and PETER. The frst-named ed-
dressed the senate in advocacy OF the
federal election laws, while PETER ar
gued in favor of the bill introduced by
him yesterday appropriating money for
immediate use in relieving the want and
destitution throughout the country.

he would call up his motion to refer the
Presidents message and the accompany
ing documents to the committee on for

address the senate at that time upon

gated the matter and found the compa-
ny had by authority OF the law OF Brazil

while that power wss in existence,
could be permitted to land a cable on the
Brazilian coast, so our secretary of state
refused to grant permission. l am iu-

peared before the secretary of state, and
that he has granted the company the

A Terrible Race the Union Pacific to
Save q Trainload of Passengers.
The Union Pacific fast mail had mar.
row escape one night recently on the
Wyoming division from being crashed
into by runaway freight. The fast
mail was booming along near Simpson
and following it was heavy freight
train in charge of Engineer Sadowsky.
Striking heavy grade there the freight
gave a lurch forward and Sadowsky,
who is engineer, lost control of
the engine. In few minutes he saw
the lights of the rear of the mail and
fearing collision jumped from the en-
CINE, followed by the fireman.
The conductor and brakemen, realiz-
ing that something was wrong, began
applying the brakes. The operator at a
small station, when the two trains dashed
by, saw that the engine was running
away and telegraphed the fact to Medi-
cine Bow. When the fast mail stopped
there to register, the operator rushed out
and told of the runaway train.
Engineer Wright, with great presence
of mind, sprang for his engine and
opened the throttle wide, and there en-
sued mad race, which for time threat
ened to end in frightful tragedy. Con-
ductor Rapp of the freight finally man
aged to crawl over into the engine and
soon brought the runaway to stop, and
by his prompt action prevented what
would have been an awful wreck.

ordered all the gentlemen to take their

George Hunter, aged 10 years, has re-

he has no idea as to where is located the
house in which he was born. He does
not know where to find the house in
which he resided year ago, shortly be-
fore he entered Oakland hospital. The
young man has lost his memory, and the
past to him is as if he had just been
born. The loss OF memory is due to an
injury sustained by being struck by a
heavy piece of iron which was thrown
by stationary engine. The skull was
fractured, and large part of it was
pressed upon the brain. Hunter survived
the operation, and although he is still in
an unfortunate condition, his physicians
