One Of the best known republi-
can protectionists in this state. I,
r. Mack, the editor Of the Sandus-
Ky Register, 4 republican protec-t
ton organ, last spring published
in his paper All elaborate article in
the form Of q letter to Mr.. Dingley,
which argues away the whole case
for protection. It Is being circu-
lated widely now in the interest OF
the wine bottling industry, which
would be injuriously affected by
the Dingley tariff on corks.
According to Mr.. Mack's article,
the Dingley tariff on manufactured
corks would amount to 60 per
cent; yet at average wages of 81
about so cents higher than they
are in fact the cost of converting
cork bark into the finished product
would be less than the cost in
Spain, where wages are 80 cents q
day. For whereas the 50 day
workman in this country els re-
quired to turn out ZOO gross of
soda corks and $50 to 800 gross of
straight vial corks per day." the
80 cent per day cork cutters of
Spain are required to turn out only
10 gross, after the raw material is
cut into cubes for them. Mr.. Mack
figures from these statistics, that
s'corks can be made at from IS to
80 per cent less in this country
than in Spain" and declares that
there is no real demand for pro-
tective duty on corks.
/ By the same token there is no
real demand for a protective duty
on anything. With few if any ex-
captions all the manufactures Of
this country which are produced
upon large scale, are turned out
at lower cost for wages than are
similar articles of the same grade
in Europe.
This was noticed and commented
upon by William NJ. Evarts as long
ago as when he was secretary OF
state and later by his successor
James G. Blaine. Both of these
distinguished protectionists OBJ
tanned their information from con-
sular reports made by republican
Office holders. But the principal
is as old trade itself, and in small
Ter transactions has long been re-
cognized. Nothing is more com
mon than to hear it said that "high
priced labor is cheap labor the
meaning being that high priced
labor yields better result than low
priced labor. This familiar rule
applicable to minor personal tran.
sactions, is equally applicable tc
labor massed in different countries
The country of low wages is 8
country of dear labor; the country
!; of high wages is country of cheap
labor. That is to say, in the coun.
try of high priced labor, employers
receive for the wages they pay 6
larger result than can be obtained
for the same amount of wages il
countries of low priced labor. The
fact, then, which Mr.. Mack has
discovered in connection with cork
manufacture, that 50 paid il
wages in the United States yields
loves priced corks, because it turns
out SO many more, than does 81
cents paid in wages in Spain, lii
but one phase of q general rule, {
rule so general as to be practically
universal.
That being the rule, no Ameri
can employer needs protection t.
enable him to pay American wages
Since he gets, as in the cork ex
ample, a cheaper product fol
American wages than the foreign
employer gets for foreign wages

places OF screw worms attacking persons,
in many cases causing death. Affections
of this sort have heretofore been very rare
but now so frequent have the cases be-
come that littl attention, outside of the
horror of such a death, has been paid to
them. In truth, the death from such p
cause is a terrible one. In some cases
men are made raving maniacs by the in
trusion of the worms on the brain, their
hallucinations ending always in death.
Others, more fortunate, recover, but
where the nose, the most frequent point,
is attacked have always distorted face

from hideous death -Four authentic
cases have been reported in this county
alone 1nithe last two months, none of
which, however, has resulted fatally, al
though one of the unfortunates, John W.
Brown. prominent grocer at Pilot
Point, Is now reported in o preearious
condition, and not expected to live. Over
100 OF the misunderstanding pests were re-
moved from his nostrils and the base of

Mrs. Seiz, Swho had n taken from her
nostrils, but recovered; another, a man
named Smith, had several taken from
under his arm, where the skin had be-
come chafed and sore. He also recovered

made much Roadway. John Halford yes
terday had 20 taken from his nose, and
says he has no idea how they came there.
All these, except the first mentioned.

will. butsin all the.cases above mentioned,
except at Pilot Point, the medical atten-
dance has been prompt and sure. and the
intruders have been quickly removed.
The screw worms have been long uu-
favorably known among the cattlemen in
Texas and other southwestern states, and
have even been found SO far north as the
Usage river in Missouri, and many
deaths among the cattle have resulted
therefrom, the losses each year amount
ing to thousands of dollars. The worms
are described as long and slender, of
whitish or cream color, with well-de-
veloped head and boring apparatus. They
are deposited by little brown fuzzy look
ing fly. CASTLE ointment, chloroform and
carbolic acid are regarded as the most
efficacious remedies and preventives, al
though when these are not at hand, soft
plastic clay or mud is substituted, which,
being placed to the wound, forces tho
worms to come out for air, when they are
easily caught and killed. Several appli-
cations are necessary to thoroughly clean
the fissure.

BOWLING LAST NIGHT.

The Tontines can thank their stars
that the Willards put up very ragged
game on the second string in the contest
at Pines alleys last night, or they would
probably have lost the game to them, as
they had:as many chances for spares in this
string as were had in all the rest COM
bined, but missed nearly all of them, be-
sides cleaning up the pins very poorly.
The winners put up their usual fine
game, and considering the absence of
Capt. Pine. secured good total. Mr..
James A.iPine bowled in the place of his
son and considering his lack of practice,
the team were well pleased with the game
be put up. Hall and Dockerty had a
struggle all to themselves for first place,
which was finally secured by Hall at 274,
while ''Doc" had to be contented with
the high single, 80. Although he offered
SO cents for a spare on the last string, it
would not come. The score:

Skaguay Alaska, October 27.-The
weather at Lake Bennett and L1ndermann
lately, has been exceptionally fine. Fol-
lowing the cold snap at the beginning of
this month when the mercury fell below
freezing point, Loame milder term, and
the coolest weather recorded since was
degrees above zero. The lakes were
still open on Saturday last and a few
people were still leaving for Dawson, al
though 1t is probable that sthose leaving
lake Bennett after this date will not get
further down than lake Tagish.
LII Skaguay trail is comparatively
clear, although considerable packing Is
still being done between Skaguay and
Summit. A good many OF the argonauts
are still making their way over the Chill
coot pass, packing their own outfits, as
the Indians have practically retired
from the business for this season. An

the snow has become packed. Reports
Of narrow escapes from being frozen to
death on Chilcoot summit come in from
time to time, but as yet no fatality has
been recorded. A physician from Kan
sas City had d close call last Friday.
Benumbed with cold, he crawled into a
cache, where he was accidentally discov-
cred by some white packers. He was in
state of observation-disclosures when
found and 1t was only by the greatest
exertion that his life was saved.

board Captain Joseph Mcclure and his
company of eight men bound for the
Klondike to prospect for gold, sailed from
Belle dock today on her long voyage to
the other side of the continent.

witnessed by hundreds of persons, among
whom were the wives, sons and daughters
of the men who went with the vessel,
hopeful of returning with wealth from
the gold fields. Captain Mcclure says
that he will try and make the trip in l1s
days from this port to San Francisco. If
he succeeds in accomplishing this, he
will have broken the record by about four
days. The Negus is a very fast boat and
is staunchly built.

ENGINEER TO BLAME.
Finding of Railroad Commissioners in
Rumford Falls Accident.

Augusta, November E3.-The railroad
commissioners Wednesday rendered their
report on the collision between freight
train and Smiths special on the Port
land Il Runford Falls railroad at a
branch switch, Canton station, August
81.
Each train, the commissioners say, &C.
.cording to the train orders, had the RICH t
of way as far as the branch switch and
neither had any right to pass the switch
without first ascertaining that the other
train was not in it's way.
Jones Bonney, engineer of the freight
train, testified that when he came in
sight of the branch switch he did not
see Smiths special on the track and it
was in his mind that the special had
gone on to the other end of the siding.
He did not shut off steam, nor use
brakes except to find Smiths special at
the other end. In going round the curve
at the switch he saw Smiths special ap-
proaching. He threw the air emergency
on, put the engine in back gear, opened
the throttle and jumped from the train :
Bonney did not obey the rule of the
road to show his train orders to his fire.
man, Judson Chase.
They are forced to the conclusion that
the accident was caused by the careless.
ness of Engineer Jones Bonney in run
ming his train past the branch switch

HAMMoND's sENTENC MITIGATED.

HAMMOND'S SENTENC MITIGATED.
Chicago, November 3.-Rrivate Charles
Hammond, who was dragged by his heels
before summary court martial at Fort
Sheridan four weeks ago on the orders of
Captain Lowering. to answer to charge
of deserton, will serve but half the
sentence imposed on him by the court
martial. Hammond was sentenced by the
military court composed of fellow soldiers
of Captain Lowering to go to prison for a
year at hard labor, and to forfeit all pay
for this period. In addition the verdict
provided for the dishonorable discharge of
the private.
Gen. Brook, however, has reviewed the
verdict, criticised it and cut down the
punishment. AS mitigated by General
Brook, the sentence compels Hammond
to serve in prison only six months. His
pay is reduced by $40 month and there
is no provision for dishonorable discharge
that being deemed too severe by the com
mander. In his review of the case, the
general said the sentence was excessive.
BY this action the stigma of dishonor-
able discharge will not attach to Private
Hammond, and after he has served six
months he will be restored to his former
position in the army.
