ENGLISH AND AMERIC EXPORTS
Protection Increases Foreign Trade, but
Free Trade Does Not

Protection Increases Foreign Trade, but
Free Trade Does Not
One OF the greatest and most hack
neyed arguments Of the free trader is
that the American system Of protection
prohibits the export Of American made
goods. the higher wages prevailing in
this country preventing rs from com
peting with foreign countries for the
trade in the markets Of the world: hence
IT is the disposition Of the free traders to
take our home market from Us. which is
the best in the world and Ivy thus re-
ducing the wages u American labor 10
the foreign level to enable u to compete
with foreign countries in foreign mar

IT is WRONG.

The troubles In South Carolina are
most deporable feat ure about them is the
discredit they bring upon republican gov
ernment and the aid and comfort they
give the monarchical institutions all over
the world.
Every violent shock to law and order,
every murderous outbreak such as dis.
graces the Palmetto State today, is a prop
to the tottering thrones OF Europe. Mag
nified, misrepresented, charscl erized az
the natural and inevitable handiwork OF
popular government, they are used to
frighten the ignorant and the timid, and
to induce them TO believe In the greater
stability aud safety OF absolutism.
On the main point in the present situa-
tion the Governors position Is impreg-
nable, despite bombast and inexpeuiency.
The Dispensary law is detestable to the
people. They say IL is an invasion OF prl.
vate liberty, that IL is unconstitutional,
and shall not be enforced. The Governor
says: al have sworn to see that the laws
are all respected, and while this statu ute Is
law II shall be enforced" The people are
clearly wrong.
IL the law is unconstitutional, let them
appeal to the courts. II II is objection
able, let them agitate for its repeal. How
ever offensive it may be, they have nc
right to resist it's enforcement and to at
tack and kill the officers engaged and
sworn to enforce it.
The people OF South Carolina have
right to control their own affairs, but
they have no right to bring dIscredit or
the whole Republic.

A FALL RIVER STRIKE
Would Have the Support Of Mule SpInnsrx
The Gompers Platform Adopted

Boston, April 5.-Ths regular semi-an-
nusl convention OF the National Cotton
Mule Spinners was ended yesterday after.
noon, and adjourned 10 meet In Boston
next October.
The business of yesterday began with q
continuance OF the district reports and
complaints in regard To the wage rsduo-
tion. In Fall River there will probably
lie strike OF the mule spinners unless
the mill owners maintain the present
rate of wages. II the manufacturers try
to Enforce a cut the men will strike To
the number OF $500 persons, as the reduo-
tion is universal among the mills In the
city.
The convention voted TO stand by the
Fall River spinners in the eir fight, and
should they strike the fund OF the Ma
tional union, amounting 10 about ti00, 900,
will be turned over TO them, in addition
TO several thousand dollars more which
will be raised by assessing each mem Der
In the association.
The Holyoke spnners also complain OF
20 per cent cutdown, IA do the spinners
OF Lewiston. Me-. and should they strike
they bave the endorsement and support OF
the convention
The spinners of Tofville, Conn, are also
having trouble, and requested that the
convention send delegate there TO inves-
tigate 1t and advise what steps should be
taken.
The political platform which was pro-
posed by President Gompers and accepted
by the American Federation Of Labor at
the Chicago convention was submitted TO
every branch of the organization for con-
sideration, and adopted.
The convention voted itself In hearty
sympathy with Coxey and his movement.

THE ELECTION.

What was probably the most decisive
victory ever achieved by the Republican
party OF Rhode Island was won yesterday,
and 1t is safe to say that the Democrats
are no more surprised than the Republi-
cans themselves.
The reason OF II Is easily given. Had
the present depression occurred duringa
Republican national administration the
Republican party would yesterday have
been as badly defeated. II is simply
Democracy's misfortune. II is paying the
penalty OF its opponents crime.
But we cannot say that the Republicans
are wholly to blame for the present state
OF affairs and the condition Of the work
ing people. While there Is no question
but what that party's Infamous laws In
past brought about the so-called hard
times, the delaying tactics of the Demo-
Gratis at Washington have done nothing
to awaken confidence and bring about Ia
reaction.
As TO the result here, Pawtucket may
still be called the banner city in the gen.
eral landslide. The Republican candidate
for Governor only received plurality OF
50. This Is evidence that with all the
false Issues OF the Republican orators the
people, In the face of the depression, re-
membered the usurpation OF '93.
A study OF the figures shows that the
Democrats stood almost TO man togeth-
er and sank beneath the tidal wave united
as they seldom had been before.
But 1t t. not the TRIBUSE's purpose to
whine over defeat or glost over victory.
The Democratic party Is still in the ranks
of the living and the is not far
distant when brighter times will have
arrived and the people will have awakened
to the fact that the depression" to
which is attributed the result OF yes
terdsy was the outcome OF the abomin.
able legislation OF the victors.
Meanwhile the TRIBUNE will continue
to be the best local paper.

4 BIG STORM IN THE EAST.

A Cyclone Wrecks Summer Cottages and
Swamps Boats.
MANCHESTER. N. H., July 31.-From
o'clock yesterday evening until this
morning this city was entirely cut off
from the outside world by telegraph as
a result of the most disastrous storm
that has visited this section in years.
The rain fell in torrents. For forty
five minutes lightning played about
the taller buildings in the city and did
much damage, several churches and
residences being struck.
At Lake Massabesic the wind de-
veloped into a cyclone. Eighteen or
twenty cottages were partially
wrecked and half that number nearly
demolished. The end of big dance
hall was blown away and the entire
section, about 7Ox3O feet, wrecked.
There were scores of pleasure boats on
the lake when the storm struck, and it
Is feared that some of them did not
reach shore. Two small steamers were
unreefed, another badly wrecked, and
half a dozen smaller boats nearly
swamped.
At Goffstown during the storm hail
stones as big as walnuts fell and light
ming did considerable damage. AS far
as can be learned no lives were lost,
although several persons were injured,
some seriously.

A DISASTROUS FIRE.
It Breaks Out In a Minneapolis
Lumber Yard.
A COUPLE OF Gas TANKS EXPLODE.
Employees at the Risk OF Their Lives Save
Ten Locomotives aud One Hundred
Cars-Loss, Half q Million
Dollars.

MINNEAPoLIs, Minn., July 31.-The
third disastrous fire in the history of
Minneapolis broke out about $3.50 yes
terday afternoon in the lumber yards
of the Shevlin-Carpenter Co. on the
bank of the Mississippi river at the
foot of Eighth avenue north. 1t spread
with remarkable rapidity and before it
was Controlled destroyed property val
ued at nearly S50O,OOO Besides 10000
OOe feet of lumber the gas manufact-
featuring plant of the Omaha Rail-
road Co., the round house, tool house,
sand house and turn tables of that
road, nearly forty freight cars,
some loaded with merchandise, and the
Office building of the Shevlin-C Carpen-
ter company were burned. The saw
mill, the planning mill, drying kilns
and store house for molding and pre-
pairing wood, although in the very
heart of the fire district, were saved by
the efforts of the fremen, aided by
a fortnitous change in the direction of
the wind. Help was summoned from
st. Paul and seven engines with full
crews were sent over from that city.
The insurance will be about $3.50, 1000.
The fire caused the greatest excite
ment and brought tens of thousands
of people to the scene from within a
radius of score of miles. 1t was not
long after the blaze was first noticed
when the heat became so intense that
the crowds were forced back, and it
was well they were, because in less
than an hour two tanks containing
gas used by the Omaha Railroad Co.
in lighting their cars, under the
Pintsch system, exploded with terrific
force, hurting fragments of steel long
distance. One piece, weighing fully
500 pounds, was carried several blocks
and dropped in the railroad yards. A
stationary boiler also exploded, but
caused no loss of life.
Employees of the railroad company at
the risk of their lives. and with hands
and faces blistered by the fearful heat,
rushed into the fiercest of flames and
saved ten dead locomotives and nearly
100 cars, many of them emerging from
the sea of flame, charred and damaged
by the maelstrom of fire through which
they were brought. Incoming and out
going trains were delayed several
hours, the fire being short distance
from the Union depot.
Revised figures place the loss of the
Shelvin-Carpenter Co. at $4,000 with
insurance 100000. The loss to the
Omaha Railroad Co. including cars,
nearly 100000, covered by blanket in.
surance. Losses on cars burned be- |
longing to other companies will swell |
the total to upward of $500. 900.

WIPED OUT.

A Thriving Wisconsin Town Cosnpletely
Destroyed by Forest Fires-PeopIe Seek
Refuge from the Flames In the Lake
Many Lives Lost.
MILWAUKEE. July 3O.-A special to
the Wisconsin from Phillips, Wis, says:
Three thousand people have been made
homeless there by the forest fires. Not
building is left standing in the town,
and property valued at between 81, ,50O,-
600 and Sc, ,O0O, 900 has been swept away.
All day yesterday the flames surround
ed the village. Hundreds of men bat
tied with the fire, but without sue
cess. The pine forests were as dry as
parchment, and the flames leaped
from tree to tree with such rapid ity
that the air seemed on fire. The bak-
ing soil sent up gas that ignited and
the atmosphere seemed to blaze. When
the fire reached the city it swept from
house to house, and in an hour had
wrapped the entire village in flames.
The people fled to Midway where trains
were standing and they were hastily
conveyed to neighboring towns.
Nothing but a few personal effects
were saved.
Families are separated, some men,
bers having been taken to one place
and others to another town, and it is
impossible to learn whether or not all
have escaped. The heaviest losses by
the fire are those of the John r. Davis
Lumber Co., S5OO,O and Fayette
Shaw, tanner, $500. 200.
A heavy loss of life resulted at Phil
lips from the fire. 1t is estimated that
between fifteen and twenty-five per-
sons were either burned to death or
drowned in their efforts to escape from
the flames that destroyed the town.
The only refuge from the fire was the
lake, and hundreds of people fed to
the water to avoid death in the fire.
In the rush the weaker ones fell down
or were carried into the deep water
and perished. Others, overcome by the
heat and smoke, fell in the streets and
were burned to death where they lag.
The entire northern part of the state
is sea of flame. The country is dot
ted with the homes of farmers and
homesteaders and with lumber camps.
There is no doubt that hundreds of
these buildings have been burned,
while the fate of the people is in doubt.
Probably many have lost their lives.

which started in blacksmith shop
last evening resulted in the nearly to-

100000, with insurance of perhaps
half. Help was sent from Cedar Rapids
and Tama, but lack of water prevented
them from accomplishing much The
weathe, has been dry for so long that
everything burned like tinder. Many
people lost all their possessions and are
homeless. The two hotels and nearly
every business house of any account
were destroyed.

They Are Not CaucIed.

General Solicitor Peck. Of the Santa Fe, Says
They Are Not Cancled.
TOPEKA, Kan, July 31.-A. A. Hurd,
the general solicitor of the Santa Fe
for Kansas, this morning received the
following dispatch from General So
icitor George r. Peck. who is at Coney
island: There is absolutely no truth
in the rumor with respect to the cam
collation. of contracts with employees,
members of labor organizations. 1t is
a malicious falsehood, started by some
one to damage the company"
Mr.. Hurd says there have been no
contracts printed for the men to sign.
The men have been requested to sign
none, and that it has not been the in
tention of the company at any time to
cancel its contracts with it's employees
He, like Mr.. Peck. says the story was
started to injure the company.
