THE FACTS THAT HURT

The only reply we have to make to such
of our Republican contemporaries as dis
pute the accuracy of the statement that
the wage scales now being raised are the
scales that we're reduced during the era
of Weeping Bills tariff. is an invitation
to peruse the lists recently published by
The Herald and other Democratic papers.
which set forth the names and locations
of manufacturing and other business in
stiutions that reduced wages previous to
the repeal of the Mckinley law, and
have restored them to the point from
which they were lowered since the evil
son-Gorman free trade tariff act went into
effect. In many of the most importan
instances the reductions were made be-
fore Mr.. Cleveland was elected in 1892. so
that not even the fear of his administra-
ton could by any possibility be consid
cred factor. In practically all the cases
noted the lowering of the rewards of Ia
Dor occurred before the Wilson bill was
introduced. The same lists also mon
toned large establishments that closed
down entirely under the benefcent in
huences of what that stalwart Republic
journal, the St. Louis Globe-Demo crat,
lately designated as the acme of Chinese
craftsmanship. and have reopened since
the disastrous tariff act OF 1894 became
the law of the land and negatived the pre-
dictions of the prophets of protection and
privilege.
The reductions in wages specified by
the data published ranged from to 80
per cent, and in the case of an Illinois
steel concern employing several thousand
men decrease Of 40 per cent was de-
manded, but resisted so vigorously by
the men that a cut of % per cent was
ompromised on.
This good work of protecting" the
American workingmen from plethora of
wealth began IN the first year of the Ohio
politicians act, long before the Demo-
cratic measure now in force was
thought of.
The advances in wages under the lat ter
have averaged about the same percentage
as the reductions referred to.
The logic of these facts cannot be COP
troverted by any off-hand assertions or
hackneyed abuse of the kind that some
of our Republican contemporaries seem
other" style of argument has lost what
ever force it once possessed with the
American people, and when the demand
is for facts the pr0tectionist organs must

Carlisle's Scheme Meets the APP
proval of the President.
But He Thinks the Pending Measure Only
Step in the Direction OF Currency
Reform and Sound Finan-
ciaI Condition.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The president
has thrown off his usual reserve in
discussing the pending currency bill
with members of congress. Chairman
Springer of the currency committee,
representative Culberson and several
other house leaders have called at the
white house of late and have talked
at length with the president on
the currency question. In these
talks Mr.. Cleveland has urged the
great need of passing some form of
currency legislation. He has pointed
out that the Carlisle bill was not re-
form of every existing evil of the finan-
cial system, any more than the tar
if bill was complete realization of
the hopes of tariff reform. Yet,
in the Judgment of the president,
the Carlisle bill was a step in the right
direction, and with that accomplished
there was hope of progressing until
the financial system was perfected at
every point. Mr.. Cleveland expressed
his approval of the Carlisle bill as a
whole and in detail He did not point
out to his callers anything that he re-
garded as a flaw in it. He expressed
the hope that it would receive favora-
BILE and speedy action.

MoLAssEs TO BURN.
Planters Have Millions of Gallons and
They Want Furnace Invented.

Planters Have Millions of Gallons and
They Want a Furnace Invented.
There are twenty-five million gallons
of molasses stored in tanks on the vari.
GUS sugar plantations throughout the
state, says the New Orleans Times Dem.
ocrat, that is an elephant on the sugar
planters hands. They do not know
what to do with it. They cannot sell
1t, for any profit in sight would be
eaten up in transportation. Besides, it
would require cool half million dol
lars to barrel it, and putting this sum
and the freight charges together, when
the present price of molasscs is takcn
into consideration, the shipper would
find that he would be out of pocket
after his labor was concluded.
The question of what disposition to
make of this molasses is knotty one to
the sugar planters, and at the last two
meetings of their association no other
subject has been discussed: The plant
ers say that it is problem that has to
solved, for before the next cropis taken
off this surplus molasses has to be got
rid of in order to make room for the
new crop. Heretofore the stuff has
been dumped into the river or swamps.
In the latter method it has been found
that the molasses sours and makes life
disagrecable to those living five miles
away, while in dumping it into the
river or streams, people living on the
banks complain of it as nuisance.
1t is being fed to stock, but from Sta
tistics there is not enough stock by one
third on the various plantations to con-
sumo 1t. Suggestions have been made
to distill 1t into alcohol, but the plant
ers find that 1t would require such an
outlay of money to erect distillery
to distil fine alcohol SO as to com
pete with the worlds markets that
It would not pay. 1t has also been sug-
gested that, as molasses is excellent
stock food, 1t be shipped to cen
trail distributing points where stock is
raised in large numbers-Texas, for in
stance-by means of tank cars. This
suggestion has met with favor, and
some day the experiment may be tried.
Z. The only solution, however, in sight
seems to be the discovery of some way
In which the molasses can be burned as
fuel. When this problem is solved the
planters believe that molasses will
then be valuable. Experiments have
been tried in burning molasscs as fuel,
ond they have been successful, but it
has been on such small scale that it
will not pay in its present crude form.
What the planters want is for an in
vention which will successfully allow
molasses to enter the furnace in such a
manner that it will burn rapidly, will
not gum the carrier, and, in fact, do its
luty without injuring the furnace in
my respect. There is fortune In
light for the man who works out this
INVENTION. A system OF spraying the
nolasses on the bagasse as it goes along
nth carrier to the furnace, Is, from
II accounts, the only system that will
uface.

suddenly fred at her with his revolver,
the bullet striking her some distance
