A Protect,onist Pren.

In the senate few days ago Senator
Hoar, Of Massachusetts,, felt COM
PEELED to refer TO the industrial situa-
ton in New England. The only excuse
that this ardent protectionist could
make for the strikes and lockouts and
wage reductions was that he 'was
satisfied that the trouble was not due
to the operation Of the tariff law. but to
quite different causes" What kind Of
satisfaction Ii that to workingmsn
who has his wages reduced? Wasn't
protection invented and advocated as a
preventive Of the operation Of these
"other causes that might reduce
wages? 1t isn't enough for protection
lists to say that protection didn't cause
the trouble. They must explain why
protection didn't prevent the trouble.

M'kiNLEv ON THE OINcLEY Law
False Claims of the Protection Pres
1deut.

President McKinley's address at the
banquet In New York OF the National
Association of Manufacturers was even
more beggarly in tone and incon.
sistont In declaration than was Sccre-
tary Cages speech at Philadelphia
earlier in the week.
The secretary of the treasury insult.
ed the intelligence OF the American pco-
pie by an attempt TO reconcile 10 BIZ
metallsm his currency reform scheme
the title of which is ito commit the
country more thoroughly to the gold
standard and remove, as far as possible,
doubts and fears on that point" BY
following a similar line of argument In
his New York speech President Nc
Kinley has added TO the Gage insult.
The president. with the unctuous
manner often assumed by advocates of
a weak cause, tried to make black APP
pear white. lie congratulated he man
ufacturers upon the prospect of extend
ing, mot their notes, but their BUSH
ness" When first he addressed them.
he said, they were trying TO regain
q.
He intended this to mean that they had
suffered actual loss Of trade territory
by the operations of the Wilson tariff
law and had not only already reganed
all that was thus lost, but had really
extended that territory by the opera
tons OF the Dingley law.
There Is such wide divergence in
he IL - - a i
effect Of the law and Of the expressed
opinion, made by its author on the
floor OF the house at Washington few
days ago as to leave no common
ground for these two great apostles of
protection to stand upon. Mr.. Dingley
confessed that protection could never
be effective as long as there were no
uniform restrictions upon the hours Of
labor In this country. In other words,
protection narrows the market TO the
home consumer, and the only way in
which production can be made profit
able under such a system Is to restrict
II, by act of legislation, within the de-
fined limits of consumption.
President Mckinley told the National
Association of Manufacturers that they
Sare now TO go out and possess what
you have never had before"-mcaning
thereby that the Dingley law was
opening new, broader and more profit
able markets for them.
The Dingley plea for constitutional
amendment to restrict and equalizc
hours of labor, in order to limit pro-
duction as the only means by which
protection will ever be effective, ex-
poses the fallacy of the presidents the
Dry. The strike of New England cot
ton spinners because Of heavy reduc-
ton in their wages caused by overpro-
duction is n fiat denial. In the most
positive and practical manner. OF tic
Presidents claim that the Dingley law
has widened the market for American
manufacturers
However. most of the men who
listened to the presidents speech were
aware that his claims were false, for
they are men whose Judgment ulti-
mately Is Influenced only by the most
practical test-results With possibly
a very few exceptions. lot manufac-
turer who heard the presidents lame
defense OF Dingleyism has experienced
any benefit from that policy except as
1t fosters trusts and limits production

The "Common Herd Excluded.

II the common herd" has any idea
that it can attend Mckinley reception,
the common herd" is very much mis-
taken. This fact was made evident by
the results THROUGH the mastery tao
tics displayed by Private Secretary Por-
ter, VINO managed the recent affair at
the white house in manner that would
have done credit 10 the late lamented
Ward McAllister. So cleverly did Por-
ter conduct affairs that not one "vul-
gar person" was present to jostle the
elbows of Mark Hanna, and the func-
ton proved to be delightfully."- and aris-
tccratically exclusive" President
Cleveland. although considerable of an
autocrat, never succeeded in barring
out the people. Perhaps he did not
wish to do this. but Mckinley represents
close corporations. and his reception
was of that character. As the dispatches
put 1t: The wives of the cabinet min
isters and the ladies Of the diplomatic
corps fairly showered compliments on
Secretary Porter for his successful
management of the first important
official function Of the year." How
SWEET and how characteristic Of repub-
,ican institutions!

The Poor Victims of Protection and
the Trusts.


The thousands of protected working
men who are now walking around"
looking for some capitalist who will
permit them to work may congra tulate
themselves that Grover the Fat is worth
five or six millions of dollars; that the
Standard Oil company's profits during
the year were over s50.000,00o, and
that j. Pierpont Morgan controls near
ly one-third of the railway mileage of
the United States; that the sugar trust
is making 60 per cent. profit; that Pull
man left s30.000.000; and that Mark
Hanna's SIS Mckinley, In the interest
OF the poor national banker, has urged
congress TO authorize the comptroller
Of the currency 10 issue-loan-money
to the poor national banker at the rate
of one-hslf of one per cent, and which
The banker can loan at eight or ten

for which the poor national banker
shall pay the government-the people
five dollars per year. and for which
il is expected the people-the govern
ment-will pay the poor national bank

The work the people may further con-
gratulate themselves upon is that II

they are free men, and they can either
steal or starve.-Rights of Man.

John Bright's Prophecy.

Col. Birch tells in a Pittsburg paper
of the following conversation he had
thirty years ago with Col. Vincent
Marmaduke, and it's application to the
present conditions is such that we give
it to the public. Every Missourlan
knows that Col. Marmaduke, like his
brother, was u decided Confederate,
and during the war he was the bearer
OF dispatches from Mr.. Davis to Mr..
Mason who represented the Southern
Confederacy in England. Marmaduke
says that one evening MIR. Mason said
to him: "Mr. Marmaduke, John Bright
is to make @ speech tonight in the
house of commons, and think it would
be to your pleasure and interest to go
down to hear him." 1t will be remem-
bered that at that day Mr.. Bright was
land. Marmaduke went, and during
his speech -iarmaduke says that Bright
stopped. and changing his line of re-
marks, said: @Mr. speaker, if our kins-
folk on the other side of the Atlantic
settle their civil war satisfactorily, and
get back together in peace, i'll forty
years there will not be a gun fired in
the world without their consent" This
statement at that day seemed prepOs-
ferrous, and no one but u man with
Bright's comprehensive mind could
have dared to make such an assertion
to go before the world. 1t has been
but thirty-five years since Mr.. Bright
made. that statement, md yet events
have happened in the last few months
which give to Mr.. Bright's words the
spirit of prophecy, and no one would
now hesitate to produce it. Col. Birch
asked Marmaduke how he felt as he
listened to such remarks from the then
greatest man i'll England, as to the
future OF the American people when he
was engaged i'll breaking up that great
country iaI IIisii,iiho admitted, that
gave him uncasiness of mind in con-
ncctiOn with his own conduct, and that
for the first time he began to realize
the. wonderful power and influence
which the American people were to
have on the destinies Of the world, and
added, with tremOr i'll his voice !:
Like all other southern men, ! am
glad that the Almighty has preserved
us for purposes of his own, which will
some day be unveiled before the
world. ."-Kansas City Journal.

Hebson Floats the Cruiser.

Playa Del Este, Guantanamo Bay,
Cuba, September 25-The wrccking
company, engaged, under Lieut.. Hob
son, in the work of saving the wrecked
Spanish war ships, has succeeded in
floating the cruiser Infanta Maria
Teresa. The cruiser after being got
afloat was taken in tow by the Potomac
and conveyed by the cruiser Newark,
the Scorpion and Alvarado, proceeded
for Guantanamo Bay, where she ar
rived last night. The successful issue
of the attempt to float her was greeted
with the blowing of whistles, the firing
of national salutes and by cheers, in
which the Cubans joined, disturbing
the noon siestas.
Off Siboney the barometer and the
wind indicated the approach of q hur-
ricane,. and the towing power was in
creased.
The Newark, under Capt. Goodrich,
rendered valuable assistance in the
work Of saving the Maria Teresa. The
cruiser. is being put in condition for
her trip north by the repair ship

ANDERSON, S. G, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28 1898

result 80 per cent of the men OH the
north side OF the street were taken ill
with typhoid fever, while the percent
age of men i'll from the same disease on
the south side of the street was ONLY
slightly less. The activity of the fly.
nccOrding to the commission, was not
confined TO the mess tent.
He invaded the sleeping quarters of
the men aud exuded tiny bits of f.rcal
matter OH their clothes and ON their
bedding, on their tent flaps, and, in
fact everywhere, SD that the very air
itself was filled with germs of fever.
Consequently the commission will re-
commend i'll its report that all the
bedding of soldiers in these tents shall
be either destroyed or thoroughly dis
infected.
10 prevent the ravages of the disease
in the future, and to protect tho SOL
diers from the fly, the commission has
recommended that u new sink be used
by the camps. 1t is now possible to
have water connection i'll every camp,
even where connection cannot be made
with sewers. The commission therefore
recommends that metallic lined sinks
be constructed sixteen feet in length,
two feet i'll width and eighteen inches
in depth. These trOughs arc to be
slightly inclined and connection
made with the water pipe at ono end.
The OTHER end is to project from the
house and is to have IL waste pine
three inches in diameter and an up
right pipe OF about sixteen inches in
height. Every day this trough is to be
partly filed with water in which suf-
ticient quantity of lime is to be placed.
Tho waste matter will thus be disin-
fected as soon as it ia deposited and nll
danger will be avoided. Every morn
ing the sink will be cleaned by flush
ing it through the waste pipe into a.
covered sink, or it can be flushed into
barrels, properly covered and carried
to some distant place to be dumped.
The commission will also recommend
that in tho future movable sinks shall
be constructed after the above pattern
and placed on wagons. The whole ap-
parntus can then be moved every day
and the contents of the trough GepOs-
tied in safe place. These wagons
can accompany the army on the march.
The commission will strongly urge
that in every case care shall be taken
to disinfect such matter as soon us
possible by the use of lime and other
disinfectants. The members hope that
by this means the fly will be prevented
from reaching the focal matter, and
even if he does it will have been disin-
fected and can do little or no harm.
AS the army cannot carry screen doors
or otherwise protect itself from the
fly, the commission believes the best
thing to do is to render his attacks
harmless.
The commission left last night for
Camp Meade to investigate the con
ditiOns there.
