The tornado was first seen approach
ing the city from the southwest. The
state institution for the feeble minded,
containing owe 700 inmates. seemed
to be directly in the path Of the storm
and stringent measures were quickly
taken TO prevent a panic. The roofs or
several of the buildings were carried
away and much damage done about
the grounds; but the 700 inmates es-
capped all harm. The tornado passed on
to the northeast. touching next on the
farm ard stock barns com ected with
the asylum, three miles distant. The
tornado passed on, doing great damage,
the extent of which is not yet known.
The storm. divided into two sections
and covered a wide territory. 1t Is
feared that the loss OF life will be
greatly enlarged when reports are re-
ccived from outside the city.

What Our work Means.


Let us do our work in the United States
and there will not be an idle man beneath our
aag.-From Major LcKinley's Teranda
speeches
According to Mulhall, the great En-
glish statiscian, the United States pro-
duces nearly one-third of all the manu-
featured products in the world. These
figures are undoubtedly approximately
correct. All our manufactures, or the
equivalent of them, we consume our
selves. That is, we consume one-third
as much in manufactures as all the rest
Of the world. In other words, our home
markets is one-third as great as the
markets of all the rest of the world, in
GLIDING both their imports and their
consumption Of home IRanufactures. =
The population ofthe world leaving our
selves out, is about l 400. 600, 900. We
consume, then, in manufactures, as
much as nearly 500, 900, 900 of the 9TH
er people Of the earth. Before these
facts further proof of President McKin-
ley's statement, as given abeve, is un-
necessary. "Our work" is equal to
what would be required by half the
population of the rest of the world.
That is enough to keep every man and
woman in the country busy. And it
will keep busy every one who is willing
to work, when we get the chance to do
our own work, as we will under McKin-
ley and Protection.

can people approve of the discriminating
duty policy for the Protection Of Amer
lean shipping ii the foreign trade. there
has been opposition to the policy, never
theless. The opposition was confined
to a very few people, no Eever, and the
latest information indicates that this has
disappeared. 1t now looks as though
there would be a common understanding

discriminating duty policy, and the OPP

Protection in the south


The growth Of the sentiment of Pro-
lection in the South and tSe need for the
maintenance Of that policy which is now
gradually extending in the Southern
states, have resulted in decided pro
gress in many towns. At Shreveport,
La, for instance, there is constant
accession to its population Of the most
desirable class--men who make their
presence felt wherever they go--until
now there is about 10000 population,
as against IL. 979 in 1890.
The Free-Trade policy is not inspir-

those of the shop and factory-to hemp
to wool, the product of the great
industry Of sheep husbandry, as
well as to the finished woolens o. the
mill we promise the most ample Ptotec-
ton" This is the policy which is to
prevail under the administration of
President Mckinley. The history of
the passage of the Wilson-Gorman law
is history of constant squabbing and
pickering for individual advantage; Of
private deals and sectional favoritism.
The industries of the sections whose
votes were plentiful for the Free-Trad-
ers were scared; the industries Of Pro-
communities vera sacrificed. There is
no rule or reasonfn the levying of the
Tariff except the invaiiable rule of
serving private interests. The support

ment which they receive for their sacri-
fee of public interests to private gain.
They apparently did not understand that

formerly suggested by the INDEPENDENT
of paying off the teachers with orders
on the tax collectors will do: money can
be borrowed at low rate Of interest if
such course is thought best or the
teachers understanding the situation will

for their pay. They do not want to be
thrown out of employment and feeling
the interest they do in the advancement
of the pupils attending their schools. we
feel satisfied they will be perfectly will
