DISRUPTION OF DEMOCRACY.
Old Party spirit Asunder ON Question
Protection.


The discussion OF the Dingley tariff In
the United States senate will always be
noted for the complete disruption OF the
democratic party on the issue of free
trade. when West Virginia joined the
republican party in 1892 on the tariff
question il was predicted that the solid
south" was forever broken. Subsequent
political history has confirmed this pre-
diction. The action OF West Virginia
has been followed by Kentucky and
Tennessee. The house of representa-
tives has given us some southern mem
bers OF congress allied with the friends
OF protection from other sections OF the
country. but I'm the senate the supposed
representatives OF southern interests
have hitherto been afraid TO openly
avow their honest convictions, though
urged 10 do 50 by their constituents, un-
Ill the present time.
or course the action Of those southern
senators who honestly concede that the
policy OF protection is beneficial 10
southern industries is assai.ed by the
democratic press of the country. But
the snecring illusions made 10 their
"selfishness" and their scramble Tor
the spells OF protection" will have no in
Auence upon the determination OF the
southern senators who believe, and who
candidly express their belief, that pro-
lection means prosperity for the rice,
cotton and cane sugar interests OF the
south, just as much as it does for the
hay, hops, wool and beet sugar interests
elsewhere. The democratic papers that
denounce them are forced 10 acknowl-
edge that some benefit attaches 20 the
policy OF protection. even though they
mugwumpishly term IL "spoi.s."
OF truth, this is good term. II
"spoils" the chief stronghold OF free
trade. 1t "spoils" the solidity of the
south, which has for too long been al
lied 20 foreign interests and opposed q
American Advancement. And, best 81
an. Il "spoils" a heap Of the arguments
wherewith the democratic and mug
wumpish newspapers have sought to de
lude the American people that the
"spoils" resulting from our honest in
dustry and earnest labor in our owl
country should be transferred TO Tor
eigners under the guise Of the "spoils'
of free trade. Moreover. 10 "spoils" tn
democratic party, disrupting IL asunde
with a breach that can never he healei
by the future tariff history Of the Unit
ed States. These are n few OF TN
"spoils" Of which protectionists can b
proud, and the thanks Of all carnes
believers in the policy OF protection ar
due TO the southern senators, Messr'
Bacon. Butler. McLaurin. McEnery, Til
man and Clay, also 20 Congressme
, Broussard, Davey, Meyer, Kleberg an
Slayden for their public and patriot
avowal that protection will benef
southern Industries. The seed thu
sown will return abundant harvest.

no one could tell how many would come

An Explosion Occurs In n Fireworks

CHICAGO, June "a match carelessly
dropped by one of the workmen caused
a terrific explosion in the fireworks
factory of NJ. Shure, at the corner OF
West Van Buren, and Halsted streets,
in this city.
1t was shortly after the closing time
of the factory and many of the work
men had gone home, otherwise the loss
of life must have been very heavy. As
it was a number of the employees were
badly hurt, and the flying rockets and
candles struck several people who were
passing on the streetcars and on the
sidewalks. The building was almost
entirely destroyed by fire,
The flying missiles struck number
of people on the street cars and one
man who was gazing into a store
window fully 400 feet distant had his
attention suddenly attracted to Other
matters by a rocket which hit hin
squarely in the back. He fell to the
sidewalk unconscious and was carried
to the hospital before he was able tt
give his name. The majority of those
injured have received but trifling hurts
The loss to the building and contents il
estimated at $60,000.
