The following letter from Secretary
Of State James G. Blaine in 1890 Is
supposed to have had great weight with
the ways and means committee:
WASHINGTON, April 10, 1890.
DEAR MIR. MCKINLEY-It is great mistake
to take hides from the free list, where they
have been for SO many years. It Is a slap In
the face to the South Americans, with whom
we are trying to enlarge our trade. It will
benefit the farmer by adding s to per cent to
the price Of his children's shoes. It will yield
profit to the butcher only, the last man that
needs it. The movement is injudicious from
beginning to end, in every form and phase.
Pray stop 1t before 1t sees light. Such move
ments as this for protection will protect tbs
Republican party into speedy retirement
Yours hastily. JAMES G. BLAINE.
Hon. William Mckinley, Chairman Ways and
Means-
Where is the Blaine this year who
can head off the westerners who want
their share Of protection and foolishly
imagine that they can get it by duty
on hides? 1t is perfectly consistent with
the protection system to tax hides, es-
pecially as the bulk Of the tax would
probably 60 to a few monopoly butch
ers and ranchmen. But observe some Of
the effects upon our industries:
The importations Of untaxed hides
and skins last year were valued at &20.-
ZIG, 528. The goatskins were valued at
$40, 30S,359. The former were mostly
converted into sole leather, beltings
and such like heavy material, for which
our native hides are not thick enough.
The goatskins are not produced in this
country.
From this raw material we not only
manufacture boots, shoes and leather
goods for our own people cheaper and
better than they are made elsewhere in
the world, but we exported finished
products Of the value Of $50, 242, 756.
Without free and cheap raw material
this export trade would have been i'm
possible. and our own people, as Mr..
Blaine pointed out, would be compelled
to pay more for their footwear. The
wages paid to our workers in leather
last year amounted to $25, 542, 1875.

Women's Dress Goods VIII Come High

The extremely high duties which
Dingley proposes to collect from wom-
ems dress goods should be more gener-
ally understood by the women Of this
country. 1t is they who must suffer
most because Of these duties. Here are
u few samples of the increased duties
taken from a list prepared by Mr.. P. B.
Worrall of the dress goods importing
firm Of Fred Butterfield & Co. of New
York:
"a wool and cotton cloth costing in
England Is. per yard, equal to "a cents
in our money, weighing 16 ounces to
the running yard, costs under the pres
cnt tariff 33. cents per yard, while un.
der the proposed tariff it would cost
81 SIG cents per yard.
"a wool and cotton cloth costing in
England IS. 4d. per yard, equal to SO
cents in our money, weighing 20 ounces
to tho running yard, and costing under
the present tariff 1874 cents per yard,
would under the p4oposed tariff cost
N-4S5S per yard.

An OdiOuR Tax.

The tin plato makers wish to boom
their business by increasing the duty
on imported tin plate. to the injury Of
the canning industry and other indus
tries that flourish by reason OF cheap
tin plate. Another blow is struck at
business by abolishing the rebate on ex-
ported tin cans. Now canned goods ex-
ported in cans made Of imported tin are
allowed drawback Of the duty paid,
and thus an export business has been
built up in canned fruits, oysters, vege-
tables, petroleum, etc. Over 4, 900, 600
tin cans are sent abroad annually, con-
tanning oil which completes with that Of
Russia When Russia can buy tin plate
at $2.70 box, while we have to pay
50. so for it. it is evident that our COM
petition will be rendered difficult. Mr..
Dingley robs Peter to pay Paul.-Balti-

Commissioner Davis, of the Santa Fe

examining into sngar-beet farms here.
They have found acres of beets weigh
ing from one to six pounds, which, ac-
cording to analysis by the territorial
agricultural college. yield from Is to s

that Rocky mountain valleys above
1000 feet in altitude can show such
results.
There is a project on foot to erect q

Davis said his corporation will give it
all possible support. He says also that
it is probable that Eastern capital will

Corrigan has been negotiating with SUI

has offered, it is alleged, to turn the
Catholic schools with their 10000
children, over to the municipal school
authorities, provided he is permitted
to give an hours instruction daily to
the Catholic children of the public
schools This is the stipulation. He
makes no other, either as regards text

other metropolitans are anxious to
adopt similar policy if it meets the
approval Of the apostolic delegate.

LOSS OF THE TRITON

ONLY FORTY-SIX WERE SAVED
Stories Told by the Survivors-Th zap
tain Committed Suicide as the
ship Went Down.

Havana Oct. 19.-The gunboat Maria
Christina, which left this port yester-
dav for the scene of the wreck of the
Triton, bound from Havana to Bahia
Honda, Pinar del Rio, which sank yes
terday between Dominica and Marlel,
has returned. accompanied by the tug
boat Surf, which went with her. The
two vessels arrived here this evening,
the gunboat having on board l9and the
tugboat % members of the lost ship :
company, of whom 10 are civilians and
the rest soldiers The whereabouts OF
the rest of the company is unknown.
The Triton struck during heavy rain.
Her cargo shifted and Is minutes later
she sank in 1870 fathoms of water
A scene of terrible confusion and
panic ensued as soon as the passengers
realized the meaning of the crash. In
wild struggle they rushed for the
boats. The first boat that was lowered
capsized Immediately and all its occu-
pants were drowned in the whirling
waters. The next was struck by an
enormous wave and turned over, drown
ing 90 The frail craft righted again,
and eight who had been thrown out re-
gained it. Some were good swimmers
and kept themselves afoat for hours.
Others floated about for hours or
planks.
Four soldiers on planks, whom the
strong current carried east Of Havana
opposite Moro castle, were saved this
morning by pilot boat. They de-
clared that last evening there were
many others near them on planks, but
when the morning came they disap-
peared and probably became food fol
sharks.
Those who were rescued tell heart
rending stories OF the scenes during the
terrible quarter of an hour before the
Triton sank. An army captain witt
his daughter went down locked in last
embrace. A mother with twins II
months old drifted helplessly away or
the crest OF wave. All the othel
ladies and children were drowned
just as the Triton was sinking, Cap
tain Rickardo, her commander commit
ted suicide by shooting himself.
1t is impossible to give the exac
number OF those who were lost, but il
is estimated that they were no fewer
than $50. No passenger list has beel
found. The vessel, which carried {
general cargo, was not insured. The 4;
rescued persons suffered severely from
exposure. All of them were more OF
less bruised and many of them badl,

harbor early this morning, after an

The situation looked serious for a few

The Chase will remain here until all
