Freight Wreck.

The third section of "a, the west
bound regular Sunset freight over the
Southern Pacific, was ditched last
night shortly after 9 o'clock sixteen
miles east of Sanderson. The cause
of the trouble was the falling from the
preceding section of bundle or two
of angle bars. These fell off so that
the engine of the third section struck
them and with eight cars was derail-
ed.
Four men were injured, viz, En-
gineer D. w. Collins, slightly; S. D.
Brown, fireman, both legs jammed: !:
Brakeman Schlenning, left foot bruis-
ed; w. G. Walker badly bruised. Con-
ductor Cumming was unhurt.
Supt. Martin went down the road at
80 q. M, with the wrecker and crew.
The west bound passenger due here at
2:45 p. M, will not reach this city un-
til sometime this evening. The bull
letin board says about $50.

Match 1t, Who Can.

The late Samuel Colt, we'll
known here, was one of the original
organizers of The MUTUAL LIFE In
Co., of New York. At the
time of his death he held policy No.
135, which was originally written for
only $1,000. There were So, 700 % divi-
dends added to this policy during his
lifetime, Of which he drew and used
during his life 81, 399. 90, leaving oal-
ance of SO ,301 in dividends which were
added to the po icy and paid at his
death, his heirs thus receiving in cash
sc, ,301, or more than double the amount
of the original policy If Mr.. Colt had
used no dividends during his life his
estate would have received SO, 10000, or
nearly three times the amount of the
original insurance. What other COM
papy can show such record? Mr.. Colt
drew out and spent in his lifetime divi-
dends amounting to four ffths of the
face of his policy, and his heirs at his
death received in cash more than
double the amount of the face of his
policy.

one asking the bank to hold in reserve
the amount of silver permissible under

The following is n part of exon.
gresham John DE Witt Warmers criti-
cism of the Dingley bill:
AS it stands the most brilliant part
of the pending performance consists in
eating the words of the same actors In
the Fifty-first congress. The Mckinley
bill of that date was virtually entitled
"A bill to reduce revenues The Dinglcy
bill is specially commended as a revenue
gettcr. The Mckinley bill pointed with
Pride to the poor mans free breakfast
table. The Dingley bill puts upon
sugar. single item of the breakfast
table-onc-third of the total amount OF
the tariff tax proposed. The items
which are supposed to help the farmer
are good examples Of so setting your
trap rs to 'cotch EN- a-cumin' and n
gwine.' For instance, we have reci-
rrocity in order TO give the farmers n
market abroad for what it is assumed
they cannot produce for home on
sumption unless they are highly pro-
tected, as is done by another section Of

URGE MODERATION.


Some OF the everest criticisms not
only Of special duties and clauses, but
of the whole accursed protective sys-
TEN. come from the protected manufac-
turers themselves in their struggle with
opposing interests. Mr.. s. N. ID. North,
secretary of the Wooden Manufacturers
association. is now ard always has been
a stanch p~rotectionist. AS such he be-
lieyes hat the 70.O00,000 consumers OF
this country are Legitimate subjects for
plumber and that the manufacturers
are the proper persons TO enjoy the pro-
lection plumber.
The free wool experiment which we
have been trying for three years, be-
sides being an object lesson in the way
of cheap woolens. has taught The
wooden manufacturers that they can
make ms much or more profit with free
wool and moderate protection, which
permits people of moderate means TO
wear real wooden goods. than with high
duties on both wool and woolens which
restrict the use of voolens to peo-
pie in good circumstances. The manu-
~fncturers therefore display more than
their usual modesty and patriotism In
the advice which they are giving to
congress. Mr.. North is in Washington
to voice the manufacturers patriotism.
Here is part Of his advice as taken from
the Washington correspondence OF the
Dry Goods Economist:
lam free to say the bill Is far from salts
factory to the wooden manufacturers. The
chief fault is to be found with the raw
v.,n1 lnttac which ara en high that our
manufacturer will find themselves sorely
emba IRA ssed. 1t is true the committee has
| provided compensatory duties which arc
probably sufficient to offset the duties on
raw wool, but the difficulty will be, In my
opinion. that the very considerable IN
| crease in price which must be made to
cover the additional cost OF raw material
will nave the effect of cutting down con-
sumption to an extent that viii be disas-
/ trous TO the manufacturers i do not con-
tend that the rates on wooden manufac-
lures in the bill are not sufficient to protect
us against too severe foreign competition,
but the limit OF the consumers purchas-
ing power must control him In buying
WOODEN manufactures. and | fear the rates
of the new bill will very materially restrict
consumption.
This is practically saying TO Dingley.
Aldrich and the other servants of the
protected manufacturers at Washing
ton:
go slow with your high duties and
don't try TO protect too many. If you
let everybody into the protection ring,
there will be nobody outside to prey
upon and we will have to prey upon
each other. Don't make the mistake
of taxing raw material too high. We
wouldn't mind it il we could sell our
goods ana charge the tax over to the
But when the tax is so high
that we have to make N prices almost

not sell SO many goods because the peo-
pie can't afford to wear c~lothes-that

cnes worth considering, because they

the mine will again be put In
