A bounty on the wheat exported for in
stance. would not enhance the price in
the worlds markets for the surplus prod
uct. That would continue to be controlled
by the law Of supply and demand. There
fore, all the advantage of such a bounty
would be realized by those who export the
one-fifth or one-fourth of the annual crop
which usually goes abroad If the surplus
of wheat in the world is large the dealers
or exporters Of American wheat will in all
probability offer their surplus at a lower
price on the strength of the export bounty,
just as the export bounty which Germany
and other European governments are
paying upon sugar has lowered the level
of sugar prices in the whole world. If, upon
the strength of bounty on wheat, the
exporter of American wheat should under
bid other exporters in London or cents
a bushel, that lower bid would affect the
price of the worlds wheat crop. since the
price of all the wheat in the world is prac-
tically made by the price where the surplus
is sold, and that price will be in the money
of the country where it is sold. Thus it
might happen that bounty would have
bad effect upon the three-fourths of the
crop consumed at home.
1t is by no means sure that the farmer
whose wheat is exported would obtain the
bounty. Exporters would not go about the
country offering 10 cents a bushel more
than the market price for wheat to send
abroad Exporters would purchase their
wheat of those who own the elevators and
either own or control the wheat in
them. The exporters might pay the ele-
vator company more for the wheat they
send out of the country, but how would
the farmer who had sold his wheat by
wagon loads to the local dealer, who in
turn has sold it to a larger dealer to be
put into an elevator, be able to get the 10
cents bounty on his wheat after it had
its identity? The probability is that the
farmer whose wheat should be sold abroad
would derive little benefit from the bounty.
The elevator company and the exporter
would divide the bounty, which would
come out of the treasury.
Thus it must appear that the bounty
scheme is one of the decisions invented by
those demagogues who always bank on the
assumed gullibility of farmers in spite of
the fact that they have been so often de-
ceiyed in doing So

THE STREET-RAILXvAY CONTRO-
VERSY.

The decision of the Supreme Court of In
diana sustaining the constitutionality of
the 3-cent-fare act of the last Legislature is
a victory for the citizens of Indianapolis
of very great Importance. 1t does not es-
tablish the Scent fare. No person could
so assume; indeed, all intelligent friends Of
law and order must explain to those who
may be misled that the 5-cent fare stands
until the temporary injunction of Ju1<e
Showalter shall be dismissed
The Importance of the decision lies in
the fact that the Supreme Court of the
United States, in its decisions in which the
questions involved are confined to constitu-
tionality of laws applying to the State alone
has followed the decisions of the Supreme
Court of the State. If this practice has be-
come precedent it is very clear that Judge
ShOwalter's injunction practically declaring
the 3-cent-fare law unconstitutional Will
be set aside if he does not see fit himself
to terminate it. If he does not, he will
hold the embarrassing position of an out
side judge who comes into state at the
request of outside parties and maintains
that law is in violation of the Constitu-
ton of state when the highest tribunal
in the State, composed of several judges,
declares that it is constitutional
The injunction of Judge Showalter was
temporary; indeed, he is reported as saying
that it is pending case" Attorney Gen
eral Ketcham has petitioned for d reargu-
ing of the case upon which the temporary
injunction was granted Should Judge Sho-
walter decline to grant this, the case will
be taken on appeal to the Supreme Court
of the United States, which, it is believed,
will, as heretofore stated, declare that a
construction of state laws by the highest
state court is binding upon the federal jul
dietary.
AS for the Citizens Street-railroad Com
pany, it will do well to consider the situa-
ton as it is. 1t cannot bride a Legisla-
ture in Indiana, and warned as are the
people of Indianapolis, it cannot manipulate
a mayor and council. Consequently it
must meet the city of Indianapolis, which
it has undertaken to ignore. First, as well
as last, the company should wiring out of
its distended capitalization 100000 of wa
ter, which some of it's managers have
forced the people of Indianapolis to make
property by imposing, year after year,
exorbitant fare. A Scent fare will so in
crease the patronage Of the lines that the
revenue will enable the company to real
ize a fair return upon the money invested
in the plant. Throughout the country the
managers of street railways have capital
lied their plants for three or four times
their actual cost, relying upon legislatures
and councils to assist them in eXtOrting
money from the people to give actual value
to fictitious capitalization. 1t is not prob
able that they will succeed; it is very cer
tain that the Citizens Company in Indian
apolis will not.

if. This is shown by the attitude of the
papers. Within a limited period $500 pa
pers have asked for the literature of the
league. or these 453 are straight Demo-
cratic papers which have been free-trade
advocates in the past. OF the 453 CONVEX
sions to protection 1872 are in the South
This does not include the so-called neutral
papers which have decided to take the side
of protection. In Indiana twelve Demo-
cratic and twelve independent papers have
asked for the literature Of the Protective
Tariff League for publication. The papers
are all county local papers, SO that it may
be assumed their change represents a
change of sentiment in their communities
II is probable that the demagogues who
went about talking to farmers in 1892 will
not find them responsive listeners to their
old stories against protection, like the bo-
gus price lists Of agricultural implements
presented to prove to farmers that they
were paying more for them than their for
eign councillors.

GROWTH OF PROTECTION.

The development of the mineral, lumber
and other industries in the Southern States
in the past few years, and the unfavorable
effect of the free-trade tendencies of the
Wilson-Gorman bill upon them and the in
dustries of the country in general, has
awakened new interest in that section in
the principles of protection in tariff legisla-
ton. In the Senate debate Thursday on
the tariff bill it was somewhat startling
to hear a Southern Democratic senator
say: IT say, without hesitation, that it is
the best interest of the American people
that articles consumed by our people
should be produced by our people. If that
is Republican doctrine, well and good. If
that is not Democratic doctrine it ought
to be-" This has long been the Repub-
lican contention: That our policy should
be so shaped as to utilize our abundant
raw materials in manufactured products
by the employment of American labor, and
that when home labor is employed every
industry in the country is benefited The
country is to be congratulated that light
is breaking in a section where formerly
slave labor and the single production,
cotton, was once reckoned king. 1t is this
diversity of industry which makes all in
terdependent and builds up strong, SYM
metrical communities and States.
There is a pathetic side to this matter,
however, as there always is in death of
policies as of persons. This feature could
hardly be better Illustrated than in the
very recent statement of the case by a
Democratic paper as follows:
If Democrats have little to be proud of
in this tariff debate they may at least be
proud of Senator Vest He stood up and
told the faitheSS Democratic senator's that
they We're destroying the whole cause of
opposition to class legislation. Indeed, 1t
leaves us naked, without argument. 1t does,
indeed What do protests against class
legislation amount to when the protestantS
are ready to come forward and demand a
share of it for a few capitalists in their
own section of the country!
The criticism refers to the speech and
votes of Senator Bacon, of Georgia, and
other Democratic senators who voted this
week for protection on the raw materials
of the Southern States The operation Of
free-trade policies in three years past seems
to have undone all that a century of
theoretic advocacy had builded. Senator
Vest and his apologist need not mourn
at their naked" condition. The suffering
of the country during brief trial of their
follies has been far more excruciating.

THE MAYORS PANICKY LETTER,

The letter which Mayor Taggart sent tc
the Park Commissioners yesterday after
room indicates that his Honor is in a nam
fcky condition. Everything in the city ex-
cept the inconsequentiaI but clamorous
silver push will regret this, since every
man who has a healthy human nature
wishes all good things for Mayor Taggart
outside of his politics, which is a blemish
upon what might with little cultivation
become beatitic character. The mayors
troubles are over the park project, or
rather, the several park projects. At one
period the park project doomed upon the
vision of Mr.. Taggart as a political bo-
nanza. This was when it promised to give
employment that would make two thou
sand men Democrats for several years.
But his Honor has discovered that in order
tC pay the two thousand men money must
be raised by assessing the property of other
men to the extent of 100000. During the
past two weeks the men who will be called
upon TO pay the 100000 have been raising
hue and cry which has made official life
very unpleasant to the genial Taggart
well-nigh banishing the perennial smile
which glorifies his face.
In his semi-demoralzation Mayor Tag
CART has written a letter to the, park COM
missioners calling a halt upon the park
system because he has discovered that the
scheme of assessing the property of the
city for making the parks is unfair Has
he not been advised of the distribution OF
the cost of the parks upon the basis Of the
greatest advantage TO the property owners
who are nearest and diminishing with the
distance, and has he not Endorsed it? Does
he think that he can escape responsibility
by this letter condemning the assessment
and calling a halt? Is it possible that the
clamor raised by the property owners in

II recall a pleasant incident in the life
of the late Representative Harter, of Ohio,
said an Ohio man the other day. was
at his apartments one evening at the MOTEL
where he lived during his first term in Con-
gress and was in the reception room with
several friends while he was working IN
his office at the far end of the suite of
rooms. Presently he came out among us
laughing and holding in his hand check.
Oh he said to us, L am literary, as
well as you are, and here's check for $50

article that l wasn't expecting to get any

I don't know what to do with the

DO YOU need it?' he asked her.
She told him che did not, though most
women would have had use for 1t quick
enough and he stood irresolutely for a mo-
ment with the check in his hand, then he
smiled radiantly.

get the greater loan through the Council,
has thrown the mayor into such a frenzy
that he has practically discharged the park
commissioners. three of whom are his own
appointees?
With $35Oo00 of borrowed money on the
bonds of the city, it looks as if the mayor
would feel relieved TO have the park act
declared unconstitutional. Would this re-
lieve Mayor Taggart? Is he not as much
responsible as any one for the $350,0OO
loan? Has he not been one of the lead
ers in the movement for a park system?
If there was undue haste in pushing this
matter, who was in better position to
prevent it? The original plan as announced
was to purchase the land and wait a time
until the much-taxed people could get
breath before being subjected to further
taxation for the immediate Improvement
of the land. Did the mayor not favor i'm
mediate improvement by assessing the
property nearest the proposed parks for
betterments?
Mayor Taggart has ample cause for
anxiety regarding the unfortunate predica-
ment the park affair has been got into,
but instead of appearing in the role of
panicky dodger he should assume the lead
ership in the matter which devolves upon
the mayor.

AN INNOCENT" MURDERER.
Newspapers Criticised on the ScnnoId
by Jnmes NJ. GOrdY.

GEORGETOWN, Del, June Thames M.
Gordy was hanged at 1925 o'clock this
morning for the murder of his wife. He
protested his innocence to the last, and
made statement on the scaffod. He re-
viewed at length the evidence on which he
had been convicted, pointing out what he
considered the Inconsistencies therein sug-
costing connivance of his sister-in-law with
the detectives to secure his conviction. His
greatest grievance, however was against
the newspapers In this connection, he said,
I'm regard to the newspapers. I'm sorry
people believe all they say. They are the
greatest falsifiers that l ever heard of and
are largely responsible for people thinking
i'll of me to-day. L thank God, though, that
a day will come when newspaper men VIII
have to give an account for the deeds done
in the body
The crime for which Gordy was hung
was the murder of a woman whom he had
married about two weeks before. Gordy
was a widoWer and there was strong sus-
picion that his first wife had been muir
dered. In December. 1896, the body of a
woman was found floating in the river near
Georgetown with the skull crushed in. In+
vestigation proved that Gordy had been
seen with her near the river shortly before
the body was found and further search
proved thai he had clandestnely married
Other damaging evidence was found in

stains on it in Gordy's barn. 1t was on
