The protective tariff does not
seem to be SO bad thing after all.
Democratic statesmen insisted, dur
ing the recent discussion in Congress,
that it would reduce our foreign
markets, yet we have gone on increas-
ing our exports SO that we are selling
to the outside world a million dollars
worth of manufactures every day in
the year, or twice as much as two
years ago, To quote Secretary of
State Hay, who, from his position
overlooking our eommerc with the
world, is especially able to speak
with accuracy: "We have gone far
toward solving the problem which
has SO long vexed the economists of
the world-of raising wages and at
the same time lowering the cost of
Notwithstanding which no
other people have accomplished in
an equal degree. We pay the high
est wages which are paid in the
world. We sell our goods to such
an advantage that we are beginning
to furnish them to every quarter of
the globe. We are building loco
motives for railways in Europe,
Asia, and Africa; our bridges can be
built in America, ferried across the
Atlantic, transported up the Nile,
and flung across river in the Soudan
in less time than any European ma
ton with a start Of 1900 miles can
do the work. We sell ironware in
Birmingham; carpets in kiddermin-

"rhe party which, by vicious
leadership in 1861, was made to
place itself across the path of free
dom and progress, should take care
not to follow the lead this year of
men as lacking in sagacity as they
are in patriotism. But we may take
comfort in the reflection that no
leaders can carry all their party into
courses their judgement must con-

MASSACRE AT GAR
TERRIBLE.

The riot at Car,erville, H., on
last Sunday is another one of those
cowardly attack upon a few help
less colored miners, Notwithstanding
the statement that was circulated by
many of the leading newspapers that
the colored men began the attack
by shooting into a crowd of people.
1t looks almost impossible for intel,
ligent people to accept such state
ment of IL or IS colored men shoot
ing into a crowd of white men and
not a white man hurt. 1t is the
same old way of trying to poison the
minds of the people against the
Negro. More than twenty lives
have been sacrifised in attempting
to work in the mines in Illinois
during the past year. and about the
same number wounded. At the
time of the first outrage Governor
Tanner waited until the strikers had
a chance to show the Negro of that
locality that their lsves were in dam
ger if they tried to stay any longer
and then he ordered out the troops
to take charge of the town and the
mines, during their stay peace and
good order were maintained, but a
few friends of these same strikers
told the Governor that they would
see that peace would continue if he
would remove the troops. He did
and so the massacre followed, and
what has occurred is just what might
have been expected, and what was
intended on the part Of those who
made up the mob. tits to be hoped
that the Governor will not listen to
the entreaties of the same citizens
and withdraw the troops from Car
terville until peace and good order
is fully restored. We have watch
ed the actions of those who have
the duty of prote ting the lives and
property and arc fully satisfied that
these colored miners have not had
proper protection. 1t does NOT lie
in the lnouthes of the American peo
pie to criticise the actions of the
French people in the trial of Dreyfus
while hundreds of colored citizens
are being shot down and burned to
the stake in the most brutal manner
and nothing has been done in the
way of bringing the guilty parties to
justice, except as in this case and a
few others where they have went
through the formal process Of q
trial which does not and was not in
tended to reach the dignity of q
court where justice prevail. Drey-
fus had a trial. Out of hundreds
of innocent colored men which have
been disposed of by mobs and lynch
law, not one have had fair trial.
We condemn the action of tina
mob as we'll as the action Of the
Governor and those in authority
