NINE LIVES LOST.
Death In n Burning Tenement Building
Unavaiiing Efforts OF the Police.

CHARLESTON. ). c.. Feb. Chime
lives were lost in a fearful fire which
ragged for n short whflei in Church street
yesterday morning. AT e:10 a police
man on duty noticed big sparks flying
from the tenement house at 100 Church
street. The officer found hat a blaze
was issuing from one of the windows
on the first floor. The doors were
broken open. and the family on
that floor were rushed out without any
damage. Some one yelledtha a family
of women were sleeping on the third
floor. The police rushed up stairs and
when they reached the top story tho
l~ife-saving work was stopped by the
flames which seemed to be playing
over the entire building.
Screams from dying womcn were
heard and officer Bagby rushed in and
pulled out three charred bodies. The
quick work of the fire department
checked the fire, and it was Dol under
control. but not until nine lives on the
third story had been lost.

A STEAL IN THE TARIFF.
II Was Passed TO Protect Trusts and
MOnopo1ies.

Gradually the people are beginning
to find out why the tariff law was
passed. 1t was net passed 10 secure
revenue nor was it passed to improve
the condition of wage-workers. 1t was
passed to protect trusts. Its operations
have increased the profits of all the
great combines of this country and
have caused a vast number OF new COM
bines TO be formed. At the same time.
and as a necessary consequences, the
cost of living has been increased, the
trusts being placed in a position TO
charge more for the neces-
sites of life. That little difTerential on
sugar alone costs the American people
10000. 900 a year. The treasury of the
United States does not get one cent out
of this vast tax on the consumers. The
workingmen see their wages reduced
and the trust puts S20,O00,OOO in its
pockets and insolently demands:
'Nhat are you going to do about it?'
Such oppression cannot go on forever.
1t was made possible through fraud. in
timidation and misrepresentation. All
these forces are now recognized by the
masses. and there is going TO be such a
revolution in 1000 hat the trusts will
have no occasion to ask: 'What are you
going TO do about it?" This question
will be answered at the ballot box by
an outraged and indignant people.
