The news comes from Anderson.

pany has reorganized and that the fac
tory will be RENTED with new machines
and will resume operations as an In
dependent concern. giving employment
to more than 200 operatives. The
plant has been shut down for four
years. This factory seems to have
been left out rather long from the
swift march OF prosperity in which the
whole country has Joined since the en-
actment OF the Dingley law. Its turn
was sure to come in time. though. as 1t
has come now.
There is one little point about this
bit OF news which is worthy OF special
attention, and that is the fact that this
concern is to be an independent con-
Germ" Those who are exhausting the
resources OF rhetoric to denounce the
protective tariff as the mother OF
trusts" would do well to ponder on this
instance CT an independent concern"

prosperous outlook which has resulted
from the restoration of the protective
tariff system. Protection leads to the

But It Dies Down
New York, Oct. 7.-Borens again to-
day played battledore and shuttlecock
with the great single stickers, and the
third attempt 10 sail the race OF the
Columbia Shamrock series for the In
ternationaI trophy ended in failure.
The race was declared on fifteen min
ttes before the time limit expired. with
the yachts still five miles from the nm
ish. But the vast throngs who went
down to the sea to witness the battle
royal were In measure compensated
by seeing magnificent light weather
duel. In the end the disappointment
OF the patriots was sharpened perhaps
by the fact that when the race was
abandoned the Columbia was In the
lead and improving her position, and
had It been finished to-day the Amerl-
can champion might have had one race
to her credit.
The Shamrock Is a wonder In light
weather. That Is settled beyond a
doubt by the three days OF drifting.
She has surprised her own people and
has given the other people n great
shock. She handles speedily and has
men ON board who know how to do
the handling.
The feeling Of the American yachts
men that the challenger was entering

disappeared. They have seen her mt

she Is ready to do her best.

M. n..... IN rre n.ml.ph.r...

Archbishop Ireland, who but short
time since returned from a PROLONGED
trip abroad. has said a few most sig
nIncant words in respect to the con-
irsst between conditions abroad and
those in this country. His statement
is that.
THE contrast between the masses in
this country and the masses In the old
world in and out OF the church is more
remarkable than ever. The American
poor are happier and hundred per
cent more intelligent. Their surround
ings are better. their chances are bet
ter. Where there is one case OF misery
here there are hundreds abroad. and BY
abroad I mean England as well as the
continent"
The one thing which more than all
else is responsible for the advantage
which Americans have over the citl-
xens OF other countries is the protec-
tive tariff. That 1t is which keeps
wages in this country high; that It Is
which makes employment sure for the
laborers OF this country! that II Is
which prevents the foreign manufac-
turers who employ the pauper laborers
OF other countries from sending their
products to the United States to enter
Into free and unrestricted competition
with the products OF the well-paid la
Dor OF this country. Archbishop Ire
land is a man whose word can be relied
upon. and the contrast which he draws
between the situation In this country
and that abroad Is worthy OF most
careful attention.
The Elbert County tribune., 1899-10-12
rar,n and Trade.

Every now and then some mossback
among Democratic editors has some
thing to say about the protective tnriff.
Usually 1t Is revamping OF the old,
old free-trade theory that protective
tariff is a Chinese WALL obstructing
our foreign trade.
These benighted brethren should
study the reports of our foreign trade.
1t has never been SO great as since the
enactment OF the Dingley law. In
place OF being Chinese wall. 1t has
expanded trade beyond all previous
records. The dictum of our free trade
friends is utterly wrong 1t should be,
protection increases the volume OF
our foreign trade" That is the expe-
rience of the past two and half years.
1t was our experience under the Nc
Kinley law. Under the Democratic
Wilson tariff our foreign trade de-
clined.-Toledo Blade.
