charged Buehler with trying to get away
after being placed under arrest and with
having no lamp even on his machine.
Buehier said his lamp was broken by
being struck by a carriage wheel and he
threw it away. Schofeld said he had light

would not burn. Acting Police Justice

Here is the most ~lamentable thing in
the present campaign
The feature of the week has been the
declaration by Senator Faulkner, the
Chairman of the Democratic Congress
siona1 Campaign Committee, that The
fight is to be one OF the masses against
tbs classes. Mr. Faulkner says that he
d~eprecates the drawing of the lines be-
tween the poor and the rich, but that the
Republicans are responsible for it,
Of course. Senator Faulkner is neither
the first nor the only one who has said
this hideous thing.
There can be no such thing as a fight
OF the rich against the poor in this corn-
try. or rather il ever there is one, it viii
he something like the French Revolu-
lion, and whatever its first phases may
be, The poor win, by the time it is over,
be as badly off as whe it began or worse.
In this country-in every country-the
interests of the rich and the poor are
identical. They live by each other and
on each other. The rich. in particular,
are necessary to the poor.
Any attempt to array the poor and the
rich against each other is sheer anarch-
ism, and Senator Faulkner is no better,
that we can see, than Herr Most.
This fight is a fight of the whole coun-
try and especially of the poor against a
vile conspiracy to rob the government
by compelling it to buy the entire out
put Of the silver mines of the world at
double its true value.

All this was. Of course, exported as
bullion at its bullion value. In other
words. the nine owners, being unable
any longer to bunco the government, sold
their metal abroad al its true market
value, just as the wheat growers sold
their wheat and the cotton and tobacco
and beef raisers sold their products.
II free coinage were made lawful. of
course this export would stop. Then just
50 much more gold would have to be
exported; for. of course. Europe would
not dream Of taking our coined silver at
its imaginary value.

NEGLIGENT BUSINESS MEN.
They Will BE Sued for Money Sub
scfibed But Never Paid.

TRENTON. Aug. 10, 1Ss6.-Nearly one
hundred Trenton business men nave as
many lawsuits staring them in the face
fer their hardness in not paying their
subscriptions to the fund for the build
ing OF the shirt factory which the Board
of Trade agreed to put up for V. Henry
Rothschsld. The suits win be instituted
by the Trenton Industrial Improvement
Company. When UEle project to erect a
shirt factory was conceived and the IN
dustrial Company secured the promise of
the Rothschilds, of New York to operate
the plant. the business men of Trenton
became very enthusiastic in the matter
and subscribed for the stock literally.
A great Geal of this stock remains an
paid. and now the time fer settlement has
come. many of them are not prepared to
pay up, ANA Wholesale litigation is prom
ised.
The highest Individual amount unpaid
is $500. and the sums vary from this down
to $50. It is understood thai papers have
been prepared in many suits which will
be. instituted in the City District Court
today, as it has jurisdiction up TO $500.
The other suits win be brought 10 the
Mercer Circuit OF the New Jersey Supreme
Court.

OF course the wretched condition of
import rad is not normal. 1t is not
due to the tariff. 1t is a result of the
silver craze, the fears of importers. the
reluctance of foreign producers to sell
on credit. With our currency question
nationally settled, imports would soon
reach a point again at which the deficit
would disappear. Meantime, however.
the claim that the tariff has curtaiied
profits or u wages in domestic indus
tries is. on its face, grotesquely untrue.

TenertGe Monastery.
A curious tale of a besieged and con-
quered monastery belongs to the early
history Of tire Canary islands, and is re-
told ley Charles Edwaraes in his descrip-
ton of the isles. In the early part of the
Eighteenth Century there lived in Oro-
tava, on the Island of Teneriffe, a com
vent of Dominican nuns, who. after some
years OF ease, had the misfortune to be
burned out of the house and home. They
went into temporary quarters for a year,
but became dissatisfied with such uncon-
yentional walls, ard began looking about
for a permanent abiding place. At thai
time there was n Orotava a house Of
Jesufts which had lost its former import
ance, and though connections and health
full gave lodging to but two men, the rec

r. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review
of the business situation, a large part
of which was copied in The News Of
Saturday, throws some interesting side
light upon the tariff question.
Il is important that the increase Of
merchandise exports, $See. 600 or u pei
cent. over last year for the week, and
the decrease of Imports. S7oa.e0 or ~
per cent, still continues to limit the sum
payable abroad. In five weeks b In
crease Of exports has been $4.Se0,ee0 or IL
per cent. and the decrease OF imports
50 1920. 600 or IS per cent?, which helps to
balance the foreign accounts.
So here we nave the Mckinley cam
paign hackers bowling for protection
against a tariff under which exports show
enormous and totally unprecedented IN
creases. while imports are falling oil in
a way to make a political diz-
w. The ~villainously false pretenses of
McKinleyism could not be better exposed.
