when articles of manufacture can
be sold at profit abroad for less price
than at home" says the Arkansas Ga
zette, having in mind, doubtless, the
reaping and moving machines, plows,
and other implements shipped from the
United States to Canada and elsewhere
for sale at prices which defy foreign
competition, cit is high time that law
which permits such an anomaly to be so
changed as to enable the home con-
sumner to be placed at least on an equal
footing with the foreigner. The new
tariff bill has done this in regard to agri-
cultural implements, and, should il be-
come law, the farmer will reap the re-
duction made necessary to compete with
foreign markets."

Professor Tyndall is dead but he has
left name imperishable. He will be

voyages upon the limitless ocean Of

Florida is one of the sugar producing
States, but her citizens can afford to re-
gard the sugar schedule of the Wilson
bill with a gratifying complacency. Tho
Jacksonville Times Union, which, being
live newspaper, is of course in favor
of revenue tariff, says: "The decision
OF the ways and means committee to re-
duce the sugar bounty one-eighth every
year will reduce the revenues of the
Florida sugar growers to the extent of
$990.11 per annum, or, distributed
among the people of Florida, it will
withhold from Florida a little less than
1-39 of a cent per capita. 1t will save
to the people of Florida, however, about
$24, ESQ per annum, or little over 6
cents per capita, clear gain of little
over 5, $3.50 cents for each Florldian
to squander in other ways" Stated
in this way we can all enjoy a laugh
over the exhibit, yet it contains lesson
on the working of "protection" So
called-which takes the money of the
whole people to distribute among the
few.

A PRETTY 0PERETr1.


for the Benefit of Old Swedes Church.
Thanksgiving evening the banquet
room of Eden Hall was the scene of a
very pretty operetta entitled "a Harvest
Nights Dream" 1t was given for the
benefit of the Old Swedes Church, under
the direction Of Professor George Il.
Hyatt. The various vegetables were
represented in color, the costumes being
made in the Grecian style, and the man.
tells were very tastefully draped. The
characters were as follows:

George A. Macbeth, lamp chimney
manufacturer of Pittsburg, comes for
ward with that true American spirit
which asks no passing around of the hat
to help him to make his way, saying :
"There has been too much tariff on
glassware. If it were taken off alto.
gether it would be good thing, which
other manufacturers cannot see now
but will later. Without tariff on the
finished product the markets of the
world would be open to us. We care
nothing in our business for foreign
competition. Labor saving machinery,
skilled workmen, and all the natural
benefits we possess give the Americans
an advantage in manufacturing which
no other country possesses" This is
the spirit of manlihess-the manliness
that goes in and wins on its merits,
without asking the government to tax
A, B, G and all the rest of the alphabet
to enable Q to pile up fortune.

Keeper who Charges It.
For while 1t looked as II the violent thun-

the indignation meeting called by the coored
people OF Newark to protest against the notion
OF Restaurant Keeper William Grsason in
making rule that five cents extra should be
charged for everything on the menu whom
eaten by negroes
Only seven men were present up to 8 o'clock.
when others began to straggle In. and in half
an hour there were forty persons in the hall.
Then an organization was effected, with b. n.
Cobb in the chair and tho lev. Joseph Brown
as Secretary. and speeches began. They were
all more or less eloquent. but tho real busi-
olutions denouncing Greason's action and de-
claring his places unworthy OF patronage by
colored people.
Afterward a question was raised as to
whether he had not rsceded from the stand he
had taken. and 1t was declared that a party OF
evening had not been oyercharged Mr..
that he would run his own business as he
pleased. and that If nigRers didn't like
his way of running 1t. they could stay away.

FEARS OF IN EPIDEMIC
Lack OF Food. Bad Weather. Foul Air. and
Weakness Threaten the Storm Sufferers.


Weakness Threaten the Storm Sufferers.
CHARLESTON. Sept. Tho relief party sen,
out from Charleston to sufferers from the re-
cent storm finished tour of as much of the
territory swept by the cyclone as is accessible
There have been wllds and morasses made By
the storm in this devastated land that no one
but native negro can penetrate. There are
serious fears OF an epidemic in addition to
starvation.
The dead animals. cows. goats. and horses
remain unburied. The negroes are Indifferent
to their own well-being. The smell Of dead
animals is almost unbearable on Coosaw ISL
and. The destruction Of houses has brought
about an unhealthy crowding of the people in
the few houses standing. Add to this the
danger Of drinking brackish water, tho wenk-
ness resulting from recent exposure. and the
lack OF food. and 1t will be seen that all the
factors for tho origin of an epidemic arc
present.
There are $1,000 people who have been
injured by the storm. Mr.. Lopez Of the Coosaw
Company and the Superintendent Of the Caro-
lima Mining Company have said that they are
daily turning away applicants for work. The
provisions to be received will have to last eight
months. and will have to feed many hungry
women and children. There Is winter ahead.
and then the trouble will come.
To-day two Of the relief committee meetings
were hold. At Coosaw Island this afternoon
there was aquantity OF rations distributed.
Mr.. j. w. wilkins. who is familiar with al
most every one in the vicinity. was present
and WHOM statements were made could verify
or deny them. When the word was given that
the relief treasury WAS to be opened 1t was not
n minute before thirty-fye women and old
men were at tho door OF the storeroom One
woman after another would walk up to answer
the prescribed questions Then she would
open bag or spread cloth to receive her APP
portionment OF grist or meal fold 1t up. and
walk away. There Was no word of thanks, no
smile OF appreciation.
Beauty Middleton and four children received
four quarts Of pearl grst Martha Seabrook
