A Result of Protection.

A lot of 500 tons Of steel rails were
recently sent by the steamship Kastalia
of the Donaldson line from the Spar
rows Point mills to Glasgow, Scotland,
for the Caledonian Railroad. These
mills are now supplying both. Scotland
and Ireland with rails in competition
with British makers. The Orthia, an
other steamship on the same line, is to
carry 500 tons on her next voyage.
From the same port rails are being
shipped by different vessels to Mel
bourne, Australia, the total order being
for $4,000 tons.
We respectfully submit these facts to
Mr.. Thomas G. Sherman and to all
other free traders who hold that we
should have imported "cheap foreign
steer for American industries instead
of establishing an iron and steel indus
try of our own to supply the American
market. And we would say to them
for their information that the prices on
iron and steel are lower to-day because
of the establishment of the American
industry than they ever would have
been had Americans depended on Brit
ish manufacturers for their steel. We
have the gigantic steel industry in this
country and we have cheap American
steel as a result of protection.

Trnst. Are Eyerxwhere.

There are trusts in Germany, Austria,
Italy and Russia, as well as every 9TH
er country which has great industries
or natural resources valuable enough to
attract large sums of capital in. their del
velopment. The trusts are doing more
damage in some of those countries than
they are doing here. Nevertheless the
Republican party will keep up its war
fare on the trusts. 1t has been fighting
them from the day they first made their
appearance. 1t Is the only party which
has had either the courage or the intel
ligence to strike a blow at the illegiti-
mate practices of the combines and to
restrict them in their operations. 1t is
satisfaction, therefore, for the coun-
try to know that as the Republican
party is going to remain in control Of
the nation for years to come its vigor-
Gus and practical work In maintaining
the peoples interests In this as in all
other fields will be kept up.-St. Louis

Indians Held for a Murder.

Solomon Hotema, Choctaw medicine
man, and eight other Choctaw Indians
were arrested by United States deputy
marshals and brought to the Federal jail
at Antlers, l. T., under accusation of MUIR
dering three whites and wounding an
other near Cold Springs. There has been
q great deal of sickness among the Choc-
taws this winter, which Hotema, their
chief medicine man, failed to cure. He
tried all Of his incantations and applied all
his remedies in vain. The sick were dy-
ing at an alarming rate and there was
great dissatisfaction in the tribe over Ho-
tema's impotency in effecting cures. FL
nally movement was started to depose
Hotema and, II is said. to kill him. Hop
ing to put an end to this movement and
to restore himself to favor, Hotema de-
clared that his inability to cure was due
to the influence of party Of white squat
tiers who lived in the neighborhood and
who, he declared, were witches. He said
that they were trying to exterminate the
Indians in order that they might possess
the Choctaw lands. The Indians became
so much worked up over Hotema's story
that party Of them descended upon the
camp Of the squatters and killed three of
them, including one woman. James Eli
son, one of the men. escaped with slight
wound and brought the news to Antlers.

A recent report by the Treasury Depart.
ment contains some interesting informas
ton concerning the cost OF collecting the
avenues of the Government. During the
last fiscal year the aggregate receipts at
all the custom houses amounted to $780,
443. 1868, while the, expenses of main
tanning the .seFvice ID reported by col
lectors at $6,776 ,394.07. Thus it costs the

uation Is summed up as follows: 'The
general business situation is one of quiet

TER wheat crop has had Surprisingly little
effect on prices as yet, owing partly to
improved weather conditions strengthens
ing the hopes Of larger area m spring

compared with year ago, encouraging
foreign buyers in their neglect of Ameri-
can offerings. For the month Of March
a drop of $4,000, OOQfn exports Of bread
stuffs, cotton, provisions, live cattle and
mineral oils has, been partly made up by
gain Of nearly 100000 in other pro-
ducts, leaving the net deficiency, as com
pared with year ago, per cent The
cotton goods situation is still strong one,
though current demand from agents is
light. Following the outburst of activity
IN wool business has rather fallen off, but
values remain steady. Leather and hides
are strong and boots and shoes hold recent
advances. Wheat, including -four, ship

A Wonderfully Good Record.

Last weeks statement Of business
failures in the United States was the
best made in long time. Many other
weeks this year have shown remark
able improvement compared with the
good conditions existing in 1898, but
last week was record-breaker.
In the corresponding part of last
year the number Of failures reported to
II. G. Dun & Co. was 232. The latest
figures are only 141. The decrease, for
a single week, is 100. That Is falling
off of no less than AZ per cent. 1t is at
the rate of about 5,7O0 failures in a
year.
Such figures are nothing less than
the evidence of revolution in bust
ness conditions, and 1t must be borne
In mind that the state of trade and in
dustry was not bad year ago. The
rate Of Improvement is the most extra
ordinary which can be found, taking
into account the comparative good con-
ditions which existed In 1898. The
present state of business Is excellent
and the outlook Is good.

South Holland is about twenty miles
from Chicago, on the Chicago and East

in the community, and had lived for some
years upon his farm. Dykstra read the
Bible constantly, and kept reading over

Isaac as a sacrifice. On Sunday night

The craze for trusts Is great and
growing. Their own future as well as
their effect upon the Industrial and COM
mercial world is something which can
not yet be foreseen with anything like
certainty. If they shall prove to be rs
bad in fact as they are In the anticipa-
lions of many persons, and in popular
opinion, generally, there is no doubt
that the American people will find a
remedy for them. But the man who
knows that there are more trusts with
out protection of their products In the
tariff law than there are with such pro-
lection, and who still contends that the
remedy for trusts Is to take away the
protective tariff, is demagogue, while
the man who believes that any political
party Is responsible for the system or
has ready-made remedy for its evils
should begin his work Of reform Mt the
primaries In voting for men whom he
Is sure are wiser than himself.-Mil-

Chicago Railroad and Street Bridges
Damaged 60 the Kxtent Of QbsOO0. !.
The Northwestern Railroad and the old
Kinxie street bridges In Chicago were
damaged to the extent OF 5000 by fire
the other night which had Its origin from
an explosion of gas or crude oil on the
docks near the Northwestern elevator. on
the west side of the river. The flames
spread rapidly. and owing to the fact that
blazing oil flowed from barrels In two
sheds which the Gre attacked the surface
Of the river was also ablaze For several
hundred feet along the dock. At one time
1t was feared the fire would be communi-
Gated e the east side Of the river. but
the Quantity Of oil was insufficient, and
within fifteen minutes the conhagration
on the river ceased. The western portion
Of the railroad bridge was badly damaged.
and 1t Is possible that the Kinzie street
draw and yne westr .r- .- rrroach will have
to be entirely rebuilt.
