power for innumerab BILE industries,
whose roar will almost drown the
voice of it's rushing waters, than it
has ever been as a wonder of nature.
Some hint of what the future holds
is contained in What is already in
course of preparation. The Cataract
Construction Company, says a cor
respondent who has been looking
over the ground very carefully, will
get 100000 horse power with its
ten machines "as early as possible
after the first three-now practically
installed and serving the uses of the
Pittsburg Reduction Company-find
full employment. The expensive
and elegant plant of the Niagara
Power Company, while as yet far
from complete, is sufficiently in
stalled to make the most searching
tests possible and to demonstrate
the feasibility of it's scheme. One OF
the giant machines is now being run
daily for testing. At first the speed
used was quite low, 100 revolutions
per minute, and it was with many
fears and sudden starts of false
alarm that the engineer worked the
speed up to it's present reading, 23O
revolutions per minute. The long
drawn shrek of a distant locomotive
! would bring him to his feet in an
instant to search for the part of his
colossus that needed oiling, for it is
no joke to have a great iron wheel,
seven feet in diameter and weighing
thirty-six tons, and turning at $50
revolutions per minute, get into
any kind of trouble. But there it is
now, running safely, evenly AM
doing every now and then in some
test its 10000 horse power or more
of work" The correspondent de-
scribes at length several projected
electrical and manufacturing enter
prises of immense proportions, which
propose to utilize Niagara's water
power"

PRACTICAL LESSONS.

The new Lutheran Church was
dedicated Sunday. An account of
the exercises appears i'll our news
columns today. We refer to it here
for the purpose of extending our
congratulations upon the compile
ton OF the work and to emphasize
the lesson which it teaches OF the
value of earnest perseverance. The
untiring, persistent efforts of Pastor
Lutz, backed by small membership,
in pushing to success an undertaking
which, in its incipiency, and even
during it's progress, was So stipend
Gus as to appear almost impossible,
challenged the admiration of our
people generally and invoked the
tangible CO operation of a large
number of our citizens of every de-
nomination, as we'll as of many
without church utilization.
The completed work-the beauti-
full Augsburg Evangelical Lutheran
church-is at once credit to the
denomination and to the city.
Further than this, it stands as a
practical object lesson that the way
to accomplish a worthy purpose is
to keep everlastingly at it" until it
is finished; that we should be Gin
slant il season and out of season.;
that the way to do a thing is to do
it; and that Divine help comes to
those who help themselves.
We are quite sincere in saying that
the success which has attended these
efforts, eliminating in the dedica-
ton on yesterday, has been wonder
full With the advent of the financial
started, less courageous and less
hopeful people would have aban.
doned or deferred the cherished
object in view. While the condition
of almost universal distress in the
country delayed the time of final
success, these people appeared not to

continued to plan and to work until
this glorious triumph crowned their
labors.
Pastor Lutz referred yesterday to
a service conducted by him, a few
years ago, in he First Presbyterian
church of this city, and to the prayer
of Pastor Davis at its close, that
God would give these Lutherans a
home in Winston Salem. That
prayer, said Mr.. Lutz, has been
answered.
Let us add the wish that the con-
grcgation which will worship in this
new temple may prove g. helpful

cause in our midst.

IS IT A CONFESSIONS

Nobody IS inclined to abuse the
Democrats of Kentucky, but it is
fair and square to say to them and
to Democrats generally that a plat
form of one kind and a candidate OF
another kind, thus trying to sit on
two stools, will destroy public con
fidence in any party on earth, and
ought to.-Union Republican.
Would anybody believe that such
sentiments could emanate from the
Union Republican? 1t is a fact,
however, that the above paragraph
appeared in its issue of this week.
AS we try to analyZe it these ques-
tions suggest themselves: Is it really
an honest confession? If so, has the
writsr cen of this mind for some
time. or has the action of the Ken
lucky Democrats brought him to
this way of thinking? In any event,
it looks as if he has dug a pretty
deep hole for his own party in North
Carolina, for if any party in the
worlds history ever ''sat on two
stools" it was the Republican party
in this State in the last campaign.
Moreover, the record of the editor
of the Union Republican for the past
year has been one of sitting on two
stools" or of sitting first on one
stool and then on the other, a
veritabe ''stradaler." At first, he
opposed Fusion and then he en-
dorsed Fusion. He was Il member
of the Republican Convention that
declared for free coinage at the ratio
of 10 to /, and, if we remember cor
rectly, he uttered not IL syllable
against this declaration during the
campaign, while he was pandering
to the Populist vote, but now he
comes out squarely for the single
gold standard. Then, according to
his own line of reasoning, as set
forth in the above paragraph, are
not the facts sufficient to destroy
public confidence in both the Repub-
lican party and in the Union Repub
lican newspaper?

HARVESTING NIAGARA.

The work of Harvesting the great
Niagara Falls to the dynamo and
utilizing it's power is an accomplished
fact and it is predicted that before
the lapse of many years the city OF
Niagara will be one of the largest
milling and iron manufacturing
centres in the world. While we
haven't Niagara Falls near us, we
have streams with considerable fall,
whose wasted power it is thought
can be made to do service in the
same way ard contribute greatly to
the prosperity of Winston Salem.

accomplished at Niagara:
eve have so long been accus-
toned to consider Niagara Falls
purely as a magnificent natural
spectacular illustration of what
nature can do in the way of grand
display when she has a mind to
exhibit her power-that it is difficult
to think of it as an appointed and
predestined agency of industry,
designed to turn the wheels of
colossal enterprises. When Edison
and the other modern Aladdins
began to rub their electrical lamps b
few years ago, nobody imagined
that such gigantic slaves as Niagara
would answer the summons and
acknowledge their fealty to the new
scientific sovereigns. But this is

IN FLORA'S REALM.

1t has long been The SENTINEL s
desire to see a really first class
Chrysanthemum Show in Winston
Salem. We knew that We could have
something very creditable in this
line as the result of an earnest effort
on the part of our people. We are
glad, therefore, that the Whatsoever
Circle of Kings Daughters has
determined to have such a show.
With an attractive premium list,
the affair might be made more than
of local Importance. Indeed, it could
be made a State show. At any rate,
premiums will be necessary to excite
generous rivalry in the exhibit of
these beautiful flowers The Society
will do what it can in this particular
and we would suggest that the mer-
chants and business men generally
of the twin city supplement the
efforts of the ladies by offe ing
special premiums.
The list of prizes should be pub
lished within the next week or two
and hence prompt action is desirable.
We think this can be managed with
facility if the ladies will at once in
stitute a canvass for special pre-
miums. The work can be accom-
plished more promptly and more
completely in this way than by
depending upon voluntary Offers.
The prizes will embrace the largest
Chrysanthemums, the finest collec-
ton of cut Chrysanthemums and
probably the finest collectionin pots,
and there should be first, second and
third prizes for each class. Prizes
might also be offered for seedlings.
We earnestly bespeak the co oper-
alton of our people generally in the
praise worthy effort of these ladies

SOUND BACON.

Senator Bacon, of Georgia, was
invited to attend the bimetallic con
vention at Griffin and, being unable
to go, wrote stirring letter,
from which we quote, as follows:
"There is no room for denial that
by the demonstration of silver, gold
has largely appreciated and silver
has been correspondiDgly deprecated
in relative value. Reverse the condi-
tic MS by the decentralization of gold
and the reconciliation of silver,
and the relative values of these two
metals would also promptly be
reversed. Silver would be the APP
preciated, and gold would be the
deprecated metal. Men may theo-
rize and discuss until the crack of
doom upon the question of the true
ratio between the two metals, and at
last the only solution must be found
in practical experiment; and that
practical experiment can only be
satisfactorily made by coming the
two metals upon terms OF exact and
perfect equality. The true ratio
cannot be shown so long as one
metal is allowed the free and un-
limited coinage which is denied by
the law to the other. When silver
and gold are thus coined upon terms
of equality, the true ratio or relative
value of the two metals will be cor
rectly demonstrated by experience.
IF, as many confidently believe, and
as all patriots should earnestly
desire, the free and unlimited coin
age of gold and silver at the present
legal ratio of 16 to 1 shall prove
that the coins of the two metals,
when coined on terms of perfect
are at such ratio of equal
interchangeable value, the import

FALSE PROPHETS.

1t is still fresh in the minds of the
American people how the Republican
Drotectionists howled over the idea
of reducing the tariff and how they
predicted with look of wisdom and
with a gesture of horror that terrible
calamities would befall the agricul-
tural and manufacturing interests Of
the country if the short-sighted
Democrats should have their way
and tear down the great bulwark Of
protection which surrounded Ameri-
can industries. The Democrats did
have their way, partially, ard only
partially, on account of treachery in
their own ranks, and yet the results,
after only a short trial, are such as
demonstrate how false were the
prophecies of these Republican
alarmists.
Relative to the import phase of the
new tariff the st. Louis Republic
says:
"Our Republican friends predicted
that the Wilson tariff bill would
flood the country, as it were, with
European goods. Their croakipgs
have not been realized Instead of
increasing, imports have fallen off
since that law took effect, as com
pared with the period of Mckinley
ism prior to the panic. The Govern
ment report of imports for the first
eleven months of the fiscal year
beginning June 30, which has just
been issued, shows a decrease of
over 100000 from the cor
responding period of the first year
under the Mckinley law, $S5, OO0,-
600 from the second years and
$126, 100000 from the fiscal year
ending June 30. 1898. These were
the three years Immediately preced-
ing the panic The Mckinley bill
was in force during the entire period
with the exception of the first few
weeks of the year 1901.
These three years of Mckinleyism
were noted for large imports. In
the first one imports increased from
less than $714,OO0,0OO to over
STU ,OOC,O 900, and in 1928, the
last year preceding the panic, they
reached the enormous sum of $796,-
706, 37S The average for the three
years, with June omitted from each,
was nearly SITS, 100000, as com
pared with 500, 3O2,S1 the value
of our imports for the eleven months
ending the 31st of last May. True.
the first few weeks of the year 1891 )
were covered by the Mckinley law,
the Wilson bill not being passed
until August, but making due allow
ance for that, the monthly average
was nearly $4,000, 600 larger under
the Mckinley than it has been under
the Wilson law. Instead of an in
crease, there has been a decrease in
every leading class of imports ex-
cepting raw wool"
So much for the prophecy that
America would be flooded with the
products of the pauper labor of
Europe. Had their predictions been
verified, of course, the wages of
many American workmen would
have been greatly reduced and many
more would have been thrown out OF
employment entirely. Instead of
this, what do We find? Resumption
of manufactures with voluntary in
crease of wages. These are practical
experiences that set at naught the
theories to the contrary.
