A Change Of Tune.

These are trying times for free trad
ers. Once in a while there is heard
a tomb-like utterance In which the
words tariff reform" seem to be strug-
Cling to reach the surface. But it is
seldom repeated. For the most part
the free traders are kept busy trying
to explain how every one Of their dire
full prophecies concerning the Repub-
lican tariff legislation has proved
false. Some Of the most prominent of
them, like Mr.. William R. Grace, have
bowed to the teachings of experience
and Joined the protectlonist ranks.
Others content themselves with bear
ing testimony to the wonderful pros
perity of the nation under that high
protective tariff" which they formerly
denounced in unmeasured terms.
For instance, Mr.. Horace White,
Joint editor of the New York Evening
Post, the most rabid of the free trade
organs, has seen new light, though
1t does not shine in the columns Of his
newspaper. When the Dingley bill
was pending before congress The Post
declared that 1t would ruin our grow
ing export trade in manufactured
goods, and bring distress on our peo-
pie. But our exports Of manufactured
goods have increased enormously, and
prosperity reigns over all the land.
This Mr.. White admits in an inter-
view with him printed in the New
York Herald, from which the follow
ing is an extract;
How do you regard the business
outlook at the present timer"
"Very good, indeed. / have never
known 1t to be in such a healthy con-
dition in my time as it is now"
what about the prospects Of its
permanency?"
"The prospects of permanency are,
I think for two or three years. I don't
think any body looks further ahead
than that. The best index OF the con-
dition Of business is the iron trade
always. That is now in first-rate con-
dition, and It is likely to continue SO
for two or three years, II not longer.
The New York World was perhaps
the most reckless among the newspa
pers that denounced the tariff. Nc

on protective tariff than is Pittsburg

RAILWAY EARNINGS.
EFFECT OF PROSPERITY ON GREAT
TRANSPORTATION LINES.

Larger Gross Receipts Than Ever Before
and a Very Large Per Cent Of the
Increase Goes to the Payment of
Labor.
There is nothing that more surely
indicates the general activity of indus
tries than the great rush Of business on
the railroads.
The railroads constitute the arterial
system of the industrial and mercan-
the world. These means of transporta-
tion are entirely dependent on the ac-
tiyity of the producing classes for the
territory tributary to them, and their
prosperity is proportionate to the pros.
perity Of the farmers and wage earners.
For example: Exports and through
shipments of -four. grain and provls-
ions from Chicago to Atlantic sea-
board points by the all-rail lines the
first week in August amounted 10
125,597 tons, against 20, 129 tons for the
corresponding week last year. Flour
shipments were 5,16l tons. against
3,OO7 tons last year; grain, lOO,54O
tons, against 12,OO5 last year; provis-
ions, 1886 tons, against 14,117.
Here we see a vast increase in the
passage from the producer to the con-
sumer of the most common necessaries
of life. Money had to change hands
In favor of the producer In so doing.
Those producers In turn become con-
sumers when in possession Of money
to purchase manufactured articles,
which money again finds its way into
the pockets of the wage earners who
manufactured the articles. Hence 1t Is
that the activity of the great systems
Of transportation indicate the activity
Of all classes in this country.
Industrial activity in the United
States is synonymous with industrial
prosperity and happiness, for men, as
rule, are never happier than when
legitimately engaged in making
money
The increased, and still increasing
earnings Of the railroads very elo'
Quently testify to the warm rays OF
prosperity that are beaming upon all
classes throughout the country. Two
selected at random are illustrative ci
all.
The Ohio Central has just completed
statement for the fiscal year ending
June 80 that makes very gratifying
showing. The gross earnings were
$1,897, ,867, an increase Of $1lS,262; op'
Grating expenses were $1,296,45S, an in
crease of $5O,757; net earnings wer'
$601, Ala, an increase Of $67,495. Th'
increase in gross earnings was on botf
freight and passenger traffice.
The Kanawha and Michigan division
made a corresponding good showint
for the year. Gross earning wer,
$6S4,O64, an increase Of $75,722; oper
ating expenses were S466.1SS, an in

Obituary.

Joseph Parker Fenwick was born
May Is, 1910 at Bardney, Lincolnshire,
England. On April %, 1855 he was
joined in marriage to Lucy Kent Of
the same place, to them were born
three sons and two daughters, all Of
whom are still living.
A short time before his marriage he
was converted to God. and united with
the Wesleyan Methodist church, which
chureh called him to the work Of a
local preacher, which duties he per-
formed with more than ordinary abil-
ity. His place in prayer meeting, sun
day-school and church service was
never vacant, without good cause, and
his prayers and exhortations will long
be remembered by many for their
earnestness and power. verify, He
being dead yet speaketh."
In June 1872 he with his wife and
three children came to Cardington, o.,
after residing there about year NOV
ed his family to Wellington and lived
there and within five miles Of that place
until his death, which occurred August
5, 1899. On coming to this country he
brought his letter from the Wesleyan
NJ. E. Church to the NJ. e. Church, Of
which he remained a faithful member
until his death.
He leaves wife, five children and
six grand children to mourn their loss,

ings, a very great part Of this went to
the wage earners. In the case Of the
Ohio Central nearly one-half Of the
increase in gross earnings was paid
out In increased operating expenses,
and the incret Sc in operating expenses
was more than three-fourths labor. In
the case of the Kanawha and Michigan
over 100000 of the $4,000 increase in
gross earnings went into increased op-
Grating expenses; in other words, cap
ital got only one-flfth and labor four
flfths of the total gain.

Republicans throughout the county will
do well to keep an eye on the free silver
project of placing ''public Libraries" in each
township in the county. The library, &C
cordiDg to the organ of the silver party In
this city, comprises three hundred seventy
five books on such subjects as bmetallism.
Imperialism, tariff and trusts, government
control, sOcio-econOmic, and labor prob
lens. The subjects are all right and merit
the careful study of every American voter,
but the voter into whose hands these books
may fall should remember that the list of
officers of their library organization is made
up of the silver party workers in the coun
ty and that the scheme is very clever
plan for spreading their literature among
the voters. The books comprising the
library for great part are to be regarded
as partisan representations of the questions
presented in such way as to attempt to
create dissatisfaction with the republican
administration, rather than as dispassionate
perfectly non partisan expositions of these
important subjects.

A Clever Bit of Work

Deputy Game Warden, George Carpenter,
wound up piece of work Friday afternoon
in very clever manner, and has taught at
least one violator of the game laws that such
violations are risky affairs, and that he
shows no favors when he goes after guilty
person. Mr.. Carpenter learned in July that
Will Saver, Jr., had beeb seen dyDamlting
fish in the river between this city and Hen
derson and proceeded at once to gather evi
dence to convict him of the offence. This
was not so easy and became no easier when
1t was reported that Saver had engaged
good lawyer and had boosted that he
could not be convicted. Mr. Carpenter
however finally secured conclusive evidence
and swOre out warrant Friday, which
was served by Deputy Sheriff Cady.> When
arraigned before Justice Baldwin. quite to
the surprise of everybody present Saver
plead guilty. He was fined twenty five
dollars. This is the second time he has
been fined for a similar offence.
