TO BUILD q BIG DAM.
Work to Begin in May by Corporation
with ST., 100000 Capital.

BENTON HARBoR, April 30.-Work will
commence in May on one of the largest
enterprises undertaken in this part of
the state for fifteen years. The plan is
To build dam / mile north of here
which will give fall of 20 feet
over the 200 feet of main dam,
there being l,4OO feet of dam APP
proaches. This structure of steel, tim
bers and earth will back water in the
river, overlooking 200 or more acres
of lowlands which have been bought
up at cost of $4,000. The river
now navigable by rowboats and
skiffs only, will then become navi-
gable by large steamers. The pri-
mary cruise for erecting the dam is
the valuable power TO be attained,
which will be used for electric light,
heat, and power purposes, also for fur
nishing power to manufactures that
will be located near the dam. The
company will capitalize in a few days
under the state laws at 81 900, 900, with
$500, 900 paid-up stock. Peter English
is the active solicitor and overseer of
work as il progresses.

The Textile Mercury, February 9,
gives the reason for the failure of the
Kidderminster carpet makers, which
is that they have been paying more
wages for their work than their COM
petitors in the north were paying,
their competitors naturally unselling
them and running the Kidderminster
trade.
The operators at Kidderminster OBJ
jected to a reduction in wages to meet
the northern competition, but, as the
Textile Mercury said, it is absurd" for
the operatives ito starve through
sticking out for prices which it is now
sure cannot be paid by the local manu-
facturers as long as their competitors
in the north are getting their work
done for less. Better far accept the
terms on which the tapestry weavers
of the north are working" This is
the advice given by an organ repre-
sentative of free trade manufacturers
to accept the half loaf and be thank
full therefor. The effect of cheap wage
competition even in England is ruin

Potatoes and the Tariff.

Under the Mckinley tariff the duty
on foreign potatoes was twenty-five
cents per bushel, but the Gormandiz-
ing tariff reduced it to fifteen cents
per bushel-a reduction of 1899 per
cent. The result since the 40 per cent.
rent in our wall of protection has
been to check the sale of American
potatoes. We sold 1884, bushels less
during 1894 as compared with 1898,
being a money loss of S237, 500 to the
American farmers. 1t almost looks as
if there had been some mistake made
by the bureau of statistics in compil-
ing the figures of our imports and ex-
ports, because the results show con-
ditions directly opposite to the theo-
ries of the free trade electioneering
liars of 1902

Increase i'm Tax Levy.

LANSING, April 3O.-Auditor General
Turner is preparing the estimates that
go to make up the tax levy for the
years 1895 and 1896. The total levy
will approximate s4,5O0,0O0. This ex-
ceeds the levy for the last biennial
period by 1915, 900, while the last levy
exceeded that of the years 1891 and
1892 by $751;, 900. The increase is due
to the large appropriations necessary
for the home for the feeble minded and

How the Democratic Free Trade Policy
Has Affected Our Trade with Foreign
Lands.
At the end of the year 1894 the free
trade measure had been in operation
and under discussion together about
one year, much of the ultimate effect
being anticipated during its months of
discussion before its final passage.
The people of the country who have
observed the march of events need not
be told how utterly false the predic-
tions of Mr.. Cleveland and his associ-
ates were, but To emphasize the facts
for those who have not examined them
critically, we give brief review of
our export trade for 1894 as compared
with that of 1895 and 1892
In 1898 ii was quite well understood,
the free trade party being in contro
of the government, that tariff reduc-
ton bill would be passed, hence the
decrease in exports during that year
through the paralyzing effects of COM
ing tariff alterations In 1892 before
the November elections, there was lit
tie or no apprehension of free trade
success, and under the operation of
the Mex nley law it will be observed
that our exports were larger than ever
before in the history of American
trade. The figures for 1892 and 1898
are taken from the report of the treas
ury department for the fiscal years
ending June 30, respectively; for 1894
from the treasury report for the period
ending December 81 of that year:
EXPORTS OF AMERICAN PRODUCTS AND
MANUFACTURES.
Year. Value.
1892 $1,000, 27s, 14S
1898 S47, 663, 1874
1894 S25. 1903, 0S5
Under protection our exports had
steadily increased, rising from S742,-
40l37 in the year 1889 TO 1857, SOS, 6S4
in 1890 and to SSs4. iS0, $40 in the year
1891, until reaching the maximum of
value in 1892, of more than billion
dollars worth of American goods
shipped abroad to foreign countries
In the approach to free trade, under
the German tariff we find a rapidly
decreasing foreign trade, with attend
ant domestic prostration.
Instead. therefore, of realizing the
larger foreign markets through demo
cratic legislation, according to the
promises of incompetent free trade po
litical economists, we have lost the
position of vantage To which our wise
protective policy had elevated MS
There is but one way to regain the lost
ground, and that is by patient perse
verance in impressing the facts as they
stand upon the minds of the people,
and, through the people, upon the
coming congress Adequate and proper
protection must be restored

CoRUNNA, April 2S.-A smouldering
fire and mass of ruins are all that is

the result of an incendiary fire which
