Fall of an Immense Meteor-A Remarka-

CHICAGO, Aug. 16-A special from
Tucson, Ariz., says:
DIR. FL M. Smith, of Hagarstown, Md.
and party of mining men who have
just returned from the Ripsey mines,
report the fall of an immense meteor,
which struck the desert about two
miles north of Halls ranch, and about
the same distance sou tn of the Ripsey
mines. 1t fell on Sunday night the
9th inst, about o o'clock. Members Cd
the party who were camped at Halls
say the conclusion was terrible. Cup
boards were upset, dishes We're thrown
on the floor, and the house trembled as
a leaf
The noise was like that of many can
non fred simultaneously. The air for
miles around was filled with sulphur.
Gus gas, and the meteor came down red
and smoking.
1t covers about two acres of ground,
appearing to be imbedded hundreds Of
feet in the earth, and now forms a
great mound in the desert. A herders'

The herder, his wife and three chill.

come by the phenomenon.
sit was the most brilliant, grand
and awe inspiring sight I ever wit
nessed," said the major. sit is simply
beyond the power of tongue or pen to
accurately describe it. The heat from
the meteor is so intense that it will be
several days before the mound can be
examined closely"
A large party left here to view the
wonder and to get further particulars.
1t is about sixty miles north OF Tucson

MOBILE. Ala, Aug. 17.--News of a
deadly cyclone that passed through

ceived Sunday by the Herald. About
3 o'clock in the afternoon it became
very dark, the barometer began to fall
and heavy rain descended. A ter
rife wind caused trees to be hurled
high in the air, while the strong
est houses were shaken from
their foundations. Twelve Negroes
and three white men, names
unknown, are known to be among the
killed, and many others were injured.
The list Of dead may be greatly in
creased when news is received from
other places in the country. The
meagre details given above are from

Another big flour mill in Ohio has
gone by the board, and no matter what
the immediate cause Of its failure may
have been, it makes timely statement
regarding che terrible havoc caused by
the Wilson tariff bill in the flour trade
of the United States, and in all our
agricultural interests.
In 1894, under the operation of the
Mckinley protective tariff law. we ex-
ported -four worth no less than $780,

wisdom, we shipped to foreign coun-
tries only $50, ,292, ,Ss6 worth of -four, or
loss in trade to us, in that one item
alone, of $il8, ,97S,S74. or about 10 per
cent.
But this is not all. In fact. it is but
the short prelude to one long catalogue
OF disaster to our agricultural interests.
According to the last census one-half
the people of the United States are de-
pendent upon agricultural pursuits for
their livelihood. By the crops they
raise, and the money for which they
sell those crops, those $4,000, 900 of peo.
pie must subsist It follows. then. that
if tariff law is passed which curtails
the markets for our agricultural prod
ucts, we are injured in proportion to
the decrease in the sales of those prod.
ucts which we make to other countries.
Let us take the values of the exports
of our chief agricultural staples which
we made in 1894, under the Mckinley
protective tariff law, and by comparing
them with the values of the like exports
made under the Wilson bill in 1895, find
the extent to which the Democratic
Wilson bill has injured the farmer and
producer of this country by curtailing
his market. Here is the table:

Here, then, is loss in one year alone,
to the farmers of the United States, OF
over $3.50, 900. 900 in trade, which is di.
rectly traceable to the Wilson bill.
Nor is this all. In addition to the
cutting off of his foreign markets, the
Wilson bill has hurt the farmer by per.
mitting the easier entry into this coun-
try of foreign products in competition
with his own, thus also decreasing his
home market in proportion to the in.
creased exports which compete with
him. Here is table showing the ma
ture of our principal agricultural i'm

tective tariff law, compared with the
like imports in 1896. under the Wilson
bill:

Favored Silver Coinage Only In Harmony
With Other Leading Nations.
Let TO Republican be deceived by
false representations as to the opinions
held by the late James G.. Blaine ON the
silver question. The statement attrib.
uted to him by the Popocrats is only q
garbled extract from speech. Mr..
Blaine was opposed to free silver COIN
age by the United States independently
of other leading nations, and thus
strongly expressed himself in the senate
in 1878. Here is one quotation from
the speech, which will be found on page
820 Of volume Z, part I, of the Congress.
sional Record, Forty fifth congress:
The question before congress, then-sharply
defined in the pending house bill-is, whether.
1t Is now safe and expedieut to offer free coin.
age to the silver dollar Of li2f grains, with the
mints Of the Latin Union closed and Germany
not permitting silver TO be coined as money.
At current rates Of silver. the free coinage Of
dollar containing N21x grains, worth in gold
about 90 cents, gives an illegitimate profit to
the owner OF the bullion, enabling him to take
e2 cents worth Of IL to the mint and get It
stamped as coin and force his neighbor to take
IL for full dollar. This is an undue and un
fair advantage which the governr ent has no
right to give to owners OF silver bullion, and
which defrauds the man who Ia forced to take
the dollar. And IL assuredly follows that IL
we give free coinage to this dollar Of inferior
value and put 1t in circulation we do so at the
expense OF our better coinage in gold; and un
less we expect the uniform and invarisble ex.
perience Of other nations to be in some myste.
rious way suspended for our peculiar benefit.
we inevitably lose our gold coin. It would
flow out from rs with the certainty and re-
sistless force of the tides. II were to
venture upon dictum ON the silver question,
would declare that until Europe remonetises
we can not afford to coin dollar as low as
A12x grains.
