CHASTITY FEATURE OF THE DISASTER
was the fact that eighteen bodies stored
in watts for dissecting purposes .wcrc
burned to a crisp. The stencil of burn
ing human flesh was nauseating The
bones of the cadavers dropped into the
cellar and presented a sickly spectacle.
The fire was still burning at nine

that man appeared at one of the up.

building. and that he went down with
the roof and floors when they collapsed
and tumbled into the basement At 10
o'clock. however. the body had not
been found, and if il should be, it is
very doubtful whether IL could be dis

eighteen cadavers that went down with

Sun the Foremost Issue.

Governor Mckinley is right
when he declares that the pass
age of the wreckers' tariff bill
puts protection before the coun-
try as a political issue more
plainly than ever before. He is
also right when he asserts that
Republicans should labor with.
out cessation of energy until they
have restored protection to every
American product and every
American wage Garner, farmer
and business man. The only
way in which protection can be
taken out of politics is through
the maintenance of an adequate
and just protective system by
agreement between both the
great parties. as in France. So
long as the free traders continue
their reasonable assaults on
American industry. protection
will be the chief political issue.
The Republican party will never
rest until the stigma of the in.
famous tariff law is removed from

red from free competition with
the we'll paid wage earners of the
United States. The mauufactur-
ing industries of England, as
pointed out by the London Cytroui-
Gle have received great impetus
and will soon be pouring their
products across the ocean in a
volume that cannot fail to drive
multitudes of Americans out of

can manufacturers either to close
their mills or reduce wages to
the English level. The sheep
growers of Australia may be ex
cused for enthusiastic rejoicing
over the splendid gift made to
them by the Bourbon Democracy.
That gift is the American wool
market, heretofore controlled.
under Republican protection, by
the American farmer. Argen-
tina also, where the flock owners
are mostly British, the republic
being but little more in an indus
trial and commercial sense than
a British colony, may well join
in profuse testimonials of gratl-
tude for the enactment of free
wool.
But what brings Joy to the
foreigner brings impoyerishment
and disaster, and despair to the

foreign wool mean so much less

woolens means so much less

statement applies to foreign i'm
