Unavoidable consequences of the Change

When the tariff changes come to be
announced a great hue and cry is GER
tain to be aised by the high protec-
tionists about their destructiveness.
We shall be old that all manufactur-
ing industries will go to rack and ruin,
and that deadly blows are being dealt
to American capital and labor. Not
only will there be this frothy talk, of
which we have had a superabundance
for twenty years or more, 6ut among
producers and manufacturers them
selves there will doubtless be an un'
easy sense Of new and trying conditions
to come. The truth is that the great
mass of manufactures have been car
ried on inside Of wail so high that
they have not been able to see what
was going on on the other side. lmporta-
tions have ceased, domestic manufac-
lures have bad sole control of the field,
and what foreign makers could do If
they had chance nobpdy knew. Es-
pecially I'm textile industries the OPP
portunity for real comparison Of
prices aud qualities in many grades of
goods has not existed at all. Those
who have looked carefully into the
situation are certain that the great
mass of American textile industries
will hold their own without difficulty
in face of a more serious reduction of
duties than congress is likely to enact
But the Continual preaching about
pauper asor and the disadvantages OF
the Ame4tan manufacturer has pro

uncertalaty among business men who
have attended to their own affairs and

Finest Coaches.

Finest Coaches.
The fire alarm yesterday afternoon
called out the department to the rail-
road yards, where blaze was in prog
ress at about o'clock. When the vari-
Gus companies arrived they found that
the blaze was in coach owned by the
500 line, which WAS standing in the
yards at the time. Before the depart
ment could do effective work, however,
the coach had been destroyed and was a
total loss.
The car which was burned was one of
the new coaches recently built by the
Pullman company for the 500 line to be
used on their New York limited train,
known as the Atlantic Express. 1t had
never been run as yet, having just az
rived from the shops at Chicago. This
will not interfere with the trains, how
ever, as there were a half-do
other cars, just from the shops, which
were standing i'll the vicinity, and
which will be sent out on the regular
train, which leaves this evening for
New York.
The company claims that the entire
loss will not exceed $50, 600 while the
insurance companies state that the loss
will not be over $4,000. The car was
one of the regular ones for the Atlantic
Limited trips, and had just been COM

DRAINING A SWAMP.

Georgia Land

Savannah News
The work of draining Okefnokee
swamp, the biggest undertaking of
its character in America, which will
eventually reclaim 100000 acres of the
finest agricultural land in the country,
is progressing at remarkably salts
factory rate The great swamp is
situated in the southwestern part of
Georgia. and extends northerly from
the border line of Florida. Creeks of
st. Mary'S river and the Suwanee reach
to the swamp.
This canal, when completed, will be
$50 feet wide and 63 feet deep, with
The most difficult part of the con-
struction will be through a high
knoll two miles long. Through the
middle OF the swamp another canal,
sixteen miles long, will be constructed
with small branches, the whole to act
aS. feeders to the big drainage stream.
When the latter is completed, two
hydraulic pumps, with 4 capacity of
30,0U0 gallons each per minute, will
