Example Of Free Trade.

The results of the six months appii-
cation Of the free trade law which went
into operation IN New South Wales
for the FIRST time last fall have proven
the utter fallacy of protection III coun-
tries old and new.
During the discussion of the meas
ure predictions as to the evils which
it would indict on the colony we're
made from day to day. These predic-
rions we're based on arguments similar
10 those which are heard from McKln-
ley whenever he addresses a deleg.tion
at Canton. It was declared that wheat
growing would be abandoned. Pro.
lection of the nome market became a
campaign cry. That bugaboo-"a
most damaging foreign competition IN
our home market'-was trotted forth
as persistently as it is trotted forth by
the Chinese statesmen today.
The present condition of the colony
shows the value of the predictions.
The area Of W heat planting has been
much larger this year than ever be.
fore. Farmers are leaving the pro
tectionist colony of Victoria for the
free trade colony OF New South Wales
because OF the greater inducements to
farming which the latter offers since
free trade became an established fact.
Trade has vastly improved in every
particular.
How could it be otherwise2 Farm
ing, commerce and manufacture must
flourish or languish together except
one be taxed for the benefit of the
other.
How has free trade affected labor in
the colony? The question may be an.
swered by the statement that wages
are uniformally higher to-day anC
that hours of labor are shorter to-day
than they are lin any country in thu
world, not excepting the United
States, st. Louis Republic.

pIntOcracy's Challenge.

The nominations at st. Louis we're
O triumph for plutocraey, monopoly
and greed. Major Mckinley is the
chosen apostle of these forces, their
keculiar representative and advocate.
The doctrine of excessive ''protec-
tionism' which bears his name, and
which he insists is the one vital issue
OF this years campaign, is their doc
trine. It's application in practice
means the enrichment OF al the horde
o; monopolists, bounty grabbers, trust
spectators and other oppressors of
the people.
il was Major Mckinley himself who,
as Chairman OF the Ways and Means
Committee, permitted these people to
invade the Capitol and write into the
la3 all the license they wanted to levy
nnearned tribute upon the people. II
he is elected President he is pledged
up 10 the eyes not only to approve any
bin for their benefit which they may
persuade Congress to pass, but to use
all the influence of the executive office
to secure the passage Of laws permit
ting them to tax the people at will and
pocket the proceeds.
AAi for Vice President they secured
tie domination of one OF themselves.
aIr. Hobart is not only the attorney
of illegal monopolistic combinations
in defiance Of plain statutory law, but
is himself the President OF one, the
highly pail agent OF another and a
member OF still other conspirscies in
restraint Of trade and in oppression
OF the people.

RECIPES

Grapes-Grapes should be rinsed lin
cold water, drained in a sieve, and
then arranged in a pretty basket;
fruit scissors should accompany tie
basket to divide the clusters.

To one pint of these pieces allow a
half pint of mayonnaise dressing.
Dust the celery lightly with salt and

Two very interesting facts will be
observed in connection with these fig
Sres. In the first place, the Mckinley
tariff law, which went into operation
hallway through the fecal year 1891,
put an instantaneous check on the ex.
port trade in manufactures. Tie an
nual total dropped Immediately S1O,-
900, 900, and there continued, even
during the year of trade activity, 1892,
and until the fiscal year 1894. It was
towards the close OF this year that the
Wilson act became a law. Increase in
exported manufactures was very con-
siderable, even in 1891; it held its own
throughout the fiscal year ending June
30, 1895, during the greater part of
which the manufacturers were ham
,pered by serious currency disturbances.
But i was in the fiscal year 1896
that the manufacturing export bust
ness really began to reap the benefit
of the lower tariff. Although 1895
had provided tire highest record up to
date, 1S96sshowed the enormous gain,
within the year, of S44, S94, $50. Re-
turns already at hard for July and
August show that the increase IS con-
tinulng at a rapid rate during the cur.
rent fiscal year. The bureau esti-
mates, on the basis OF returns already
in haud, q total merchandise export
record, for the year ending June 80,
1897, Of no less than $3.50, 900, 600.
The reason, both for the contraction
under the Mckinley act and for the
large expansion under the Wilson law,
is plain enough to all who know the
part played in domestic manufacture
by imported raw material. The in.
crease in our exports is perhaps the
Snost encouraging feature in the com,
mercial outlook; it bears It's own com.
ment on tariff legislation. New York

McKinley;s Belief.

Mr.. Mckinley devout!y believes that
it is the Governments business 10 IN
terfere in the private business affairs
OF the people; that Congress should
legislate in such a manner as to put
money in the pockets of certain inter-
ests, trusting to them to distribute a
portion of it among their employees,
and that wherever languishing or a
greedy interest may appear it is not
only right but proper that the Gov
eminent, exercising the power Of tax
alton in its behalf, should do what is
possible to sustain it at the expense
OF the whole people.

SOUTHERN PROGRESS.
The Industrial Situation as Reported
for tho Past Week.

for the Past Week.
The weekly review of southern in
dustrial conditions compiled from re-
ports received from prominent manu-
facturers and business men of the
south, notes no especial change since
the last report. Trade in all lines
continues conservative awaiting the
result of the election. Almost an in
novation in trade circles is the number
of contracts conditioned upon the cleo
ton. Il they are placed business gen.
orally will be very active after Nov. 3.
The tone of the iron and steel
market is strong aud a gradual rise in
prices is expected when the financial
question is settled. The demand for
pig iron continues active, some specu.
lative buying being noted in Bessemer
pig. The market for finished material
is not strong and low prices are being
made in nearly all lines, where the
orders are for prompt delivery. The
calls for plate are numerous and some
good orders have been placed.
The lumber business is only fair,
though manufacturers report more
favorable indications, and in some Sec
tions the volume of trade is already
increasing. But low prices rather
than a dull demand keep many plants
idle or running on short time. The
export trade is steadily improving, and
the mills working on orders of this
class have all they can do.
Among the new industries reported
for the week are the following: Acid
works to cost $500, 600 at New Orleans,
La railroad shops and round houses
at Fort Smith, Ark, approximate cost
500, 900; the Legnite, Eggette and
Coal company, capital 800, 600, char
tered at Rockdale, Tex, and the Tex
as Briquette and Coal company will
build a $45, 600 plant at Rockdale. A
$65, 900 peanut factory will be built at

Sign Painter Lawson Fined 10
Striking Mr.. Proctor.


Detective Charles w. Proctor, who was
so brutally treated on Christmas day while
making an arrest near the corner of 7th
and D streets, was violently dealt with
last night, and now he has badly discol-
ored eye and swollen face. The detective
was on duty at police headquarters last
night, and about II o'clock there was a
call for assistance at No. Al street. where
it was reported there was trouble. When
the officer reached the house he found d
man named Lawson on the sidewalk in
dulging in some loud profanity, and when
the young man refused to be quieted and
go in the house he was placed under ar
rest.
Then it was that he dealt the officer two
stunning blows in the mouth and knocked
him down. The officers head struck the
pavement and did the damage mentioned
Lawson, who is a sign painter, twenty
three years old, was then locked up.
Walter Griffith, who is the occupant of
the house, was a witness in the case, and
he said that Lawson had driven him from
his (Griffith's) own home.
Lawson told the court today that he did
not know Mr.. Proctor was an officer, but
thought he was friend of Griffiths and
was going to assault him. While in the
house, he said, Griffith knocked him down
and choked him, and then he got a chair
to use in defense Of himself, and Griffith
ran away.
Proctor told Judge Kimball, land l don't
believe he knew what he was doing"
The defendant said he had only drank
two bottles of beer and that he was not
very drunk.
For being disorderly Judge Kimball fined
him SO or thirty days. while for the as
sault fine Of so or sixty days was i'm
