A Free Trade Town.

Tell City, i'll Perry county, Ind, a
Swiss settlement, was formerly strongly
Republican, and although devoted to
manufactures the inhabitants have
changed their opinions in regard to the
blessings of protective tariff. Tho city
has 80 different manufacturing estab.
lishmcnts, which pay from 5000, 600 to
500, 600 yearly i'll wages and are in
full operation, so that there are no I'M
employed workers among tho inhabit-
ants.
A circular letter was some time ago
addressed from Washington to the man
ufacturcrs, workingmcn and merchants
of Tell City, inquiring i'll regard to their
views on the tariff question. In making
answer all three classes unanimously de-
clarcd that they favored reduction Of
the tariff, and that they earnestly de-
sired the Immediate passage Of the Will
son bill us it left the house. Tariff bene-
ticiaries necessarily appeal to the fears
of Workingmcn concerning reduction
Of wages to the paupor standard of Eu-
rope should the Wilson bill be passed.
The workingmcn of Tell City, Ind. i,
have small respect for this plea They
say in their circular reply that expert
ence has shown that protective duties do
not raise wages or even maintain them,
SO that an alienation of our burdens can
result only from reduction of the prices
of all necessaries, and therefore we IA
vor a pure tariff for revenue. "

woNogREuL ECONOMIC WISDOM.
Some Thinkers ("l Claim That Cheapness Ii
&ke Cause of Present Distress.

The New York sun of March IS had
q three column editorial on THE rela-
ton OF machinery 70 commercial and
industrial depression. The burden OF
this editorial WAS that production has
increased beyond the powers of consump-
ton, and that Industrial depraSSions are
the result of multiplied production. 1t
is during these times that production
haltS TO give consumption an opportu-
nifty to catch up. Tho impression left by
this startling editorial may be inferred
from Il letter in The Sun of March IS
signed G. F. NJ The writer thinks the
title Of the editorial might have been
machinery Versus Humanity. He
says;
Il hope this article will lead to q
wide discussion of the subject by those
competent, rs am not, to deal with it
rs it deserves 1t seems evident that q
machine which enables one man 10 do
the work Of 500, and which neither eats,
drinks nor wears clothes, cannot always
be regarded as an unmixcd blessing
except perhaps to the inventor. | believe
| am correct III saying that the compare
tive freedom from industrial depression
enjoyed by France is largely due to the
fact that she has been slow to supplant
hand labor with machinery.
Overproduction, then, is the hane of
human existence. 1t is caused by the 100
general use of Yankee machines. These
internal machines are being perfected to
such an extent that they can almost
produce without any assistance from
man. They are devices for depriving
man Of his God given right to earn his
bread by the sweat of his brow and of
his wages with which he could buy sec
ondhand bread. Thus they throw labor
ont of employment and leave it TO starVe
and perish in the midst of the super
abundance which they temptingly place
all about it during the worst periods of
depression 1t is difficult to conceive of
q moro horrible fate for labor.
Labor saving machinery, then, is sure
ly u curse to all who have to work for a
living This is the decision Of modern
economic science This conclusion is in
line with the teachings OF Mckinley,
Harrison and other leading Republicans,
who ahhOr cheap coats and declare that
chcapness is I'M American. The question
now is shall we continue to grant patents
to inventors of labor saving machines
and thus put Il premium upon cheap
ness, or shall we destroy all of our ma
chimes, ships, railroads and all other de-
vices for saving labor and inducing
chcapncss and industrial deprcSsions and
prohibit the invention of other similar
devices?
This is the great question of the age
We should not hesitate to face it. Either
Editor Dana and Mckinley and Harr1-
son are right, and machinery and cheap
ness are unmitigatcd curses, or there is
some flaw i'll their logic, and machinery
and cheapnoss possibly are not such ter
rible things, after all. We will leave the
question open to the reader B. w. H..

ANTICS OF THE LIGHTNING.

The rain of Friday, August }, was much needed. The thunder and light ming little noticed in the village, perhaps because we so rejoiced to see the rain, 'sgave no uncertain sound'' two miles to the east. At the residence of Henry Beers a cherry tree in the yard was struck. The trunk was torn to pieces, the top and branches being uninjured. A tree some rods distant was struck at the same instant. MT Beers and two sons were in barn between and in line slight shock. The older boy was thrown down, but soon recovered while the younger was taken to the house uncon- scious, and although every possible means was used it was some time before he was restored to consciousness. Mrs Beers, with her daughter and mother in the house, felt the effect but slightly. The lightning plowed furrow from the tree to wire fence, scattering 1t far and near. Presumably it burst in the air, both sound and effect indicating it. A narrow escape for them all. Mrs l.. s. Weeks and sons, Charles and Kenneth, are with s. K. Weeks. w. B.
