The New York Tribune Surprises
Its Readers.
GhronicAed Facts of Increasing Bust.
ness Instead of widespread Ruin
Headed 1t Good News-If Wages
Are Rising Protection Must he
Wrong.

Great s%earchings Of heart prevailed
among the rural readers of tho New
York Tribune when their eyes fell upon
q paragraph entitled Good News from
New Brunswick, N. J." Having in
mind Senator Lexow's declaration TINT
the chuse Of protection is lost unless evil
dences Of widespread ruin are at once
produced and his demand that Repub-
aioan journals should Immediately send
sheir reporters out through the manu-
featuring communities in order to bring
back accounts of the raysges Of the pres.
ent tariff, they will naturally expect
under the heading Good News" some
consolatory tales of smokeless chimneys,
silent FORCES, reductions Of wages, strikes
and other manifestations Of distress and
despair.
Instead Of this they will DO perplexed
30 learn that q large iron concern in
New Brunswick has increased the wa
ses Of its workmen 10 per cent; that q
rubber company has given orders to reNt
q mill that was closed several years ago,
end which will give employment to
about 1000 men; that two wall paper
factories, instead Of shutting down for
two months, as has been their custom,
have kept running through July and
will suspend only through August, and
that q great hosiery company is running
full time and with every department
full handed. Worse thar all. this no.
siery company reports that it has never
been 80 busy in its history, while the
prospects for q continuance of trade are
excellent For one morning news from
one community this is q terrible accu-
mutation Of unpleasant facts.
The editorial position of The Tribune
as regards prosperity is that it prevails
only in particular industries. The evil
disposed Democrats We're bnlked in their
attempts to create universal ruin and
only succeeded in damaging things in
spots. Where the tariff remained pro-
tective industries found that they wero
able to struggle along. but where pro-
lection WAS reduced nothing but ruin
followed.
This ID "a very safe position to take SO
long as it is possible to stick closely to
g~eperailties and avoid all particulariza-
ton of industries. But tho imprudent
MIR. Lexow has made this course i'm
practicable. He says that If wages are
really rising tho Republicans are all
wrong and have been wrong oil the
time. and that the production of tangi-
bic and specific cases Of starvation and
misery is indispensable. The Tribune
owes it to its loyal readers to furnish
them with a list of industries now Ian

Henry Carter, the famous Mount
Tacoma guide, has fallen in love under
romantic circumstances aI1d will be

sermon on the top of the. mountain.
There ism possibility that Carter will
be niprrieh on top of the mountain, the
place where he fell in love last Tuesday
night, with the thermometer registering
20 degrees below zero. He is to marry
Beachman, a schoolteacher and
the belle of Lake Park, a suburb of Ttt'
coma.
Miss Beachman, accompanied by Mr..
and Mrs. f.. n. Groe of E~atonville, set
out Tuesday with Carter, the most
trusted of all tho mountain guides, to
ascend Mount Tacoma. At Gibraltar
rock, which corresponds to tho Shout
der Of the Matterhorn, 1000 feet
from the summit, Mrs. Groe became
exhausted. Miss Beachman declared her
intention to reach the summit at all
hazards. Carter led tho way, but soon
lost his ice ax, and in scaling difficult
passes they were compelled toroly solely
ON their alpenstocks. They didnot reach
tho summit until @ p. M, too Into to
attempt the descent that night. They
had left Paradise valley, below tho snow
line, without wraps, and only lemon
and ono sandwich each in the way Of
provisions. Garter selected q sheltered
ice AVE formed by Jets of steam from
the crater, and there they passed a
sleepless night. discussing all sorts of
topics, and before they left the summit
at 0 a. m. Wednesday Miss Beachman
had promised to marry the guide.
The instant they left the steam of the
ice cave their clothes were frozen stiff,
and they suffered great hardships in de-
scending. A rescue party organized dur

the afternoon. after they had been with
