THE POOR FOREIGNER.
Warm sympathy Felt For Him by
American Free Traders

Warm sympathy Felt For Him by
American Free Traders.
A somewhat prominent advocate of
free trade, in the course of a recent
speech in behalf of his pet theory,
spoke with scathing sarcasm of the
argument that the foreigner pays the
tariff under our protective system
Not that he attempted to deny it. Oh,
no! He, with more frankness than is
always found among his co-free trad
ers, accepted that conclusively proved
fact. But the walls of his wrath were
poured out because the foreigner paid
the tariff. Poor foreigner! Our Amer
lean free traders are always more con-
cerned over his burdens than over
those of our own people. "Why should
he pay the tariff asked his free trad
er champion. "He does not live in this
country; he gets no benefits from our
government; he is entitled to no pro-
lection from it and owes no allegiance
to it. Why should we make him con-
tribute toward the expenses of our
governments"
Speaking out in meeting" was not
allowed, or it would have been sug-
gested to this champion of foreigners
that the transaction was purely bust
ness one; that the foreign exporter
pays the tariff which helps to sup
port our government as the price Of
his entry into our market. 1t is a case
of qUid pro quo. We have something
viz thp hest market in fhp world
which the foreigner desires. We set
a price on share of that market, the
price being in the shapeof tariff which
is but fair price to the foreigner for
what he gets, or otherwise he would
not pay it, and which at the same
time is only just measure of pro-
lection to our own manufacturers and
our own laborers, to whom our gov
eminent owes it's first duty.

Advantage to BE Gatned by Increas

advantage TO be Oa1TeO Oy 1uCT0HS-
ing It's Republican Vote.
A dispatch of June % from Char
lotte, n. c., says:
''The ticket nominated at Philadel-
phia is satisfactory to the business
men of this part of the country. Men
who own cotton mills say openly that
they will support Mckinley and Roose-
veIt D. w. Oates. cashier of the First
National bank and president of the

do it again. l meet former Democrats
every day who will vote the Republic
an national ticket this year. Many
business men who did not vote at III
in 1896 will vote for Mckinley If
November
More than dozen leading mill men
have expressed the same sentiments
today. These men were loyal supporters
of the Democratic party before 1896.
Two-thirds of the cotton mill men IL
the state will vote for Mckinley and
Roosevelt"
This is good news, and the pre-
diction Of a heavy increase of the Re
publican vote in North Carolina ought
to come true whether it does or not.
1t ought to come true in every south
ern state. A big gain in the Republic
an vote this year and an increase in
the number of Republicans elected
from southern congressional districts
would be greatly to the advantage of
the south. What the south needs is
a better showing of business and politi-
cal sense, more tangible evidences of
enlightenment and progress, more con-
vincing proof of the spread of progress
and development along up to date
lines. In no way could the south fur
nish a more conclusive demonstration
of the dawn of a better and wiser
order Of things. More of latter day
Republicanism and less of antiquated
Bourbonism is the crying need of the
south today A rousing vote for Nc
Kinley and Roosevelt is the souths

HE HAD BEEN FISHING.
But For Some Reason He Did Not

But For Some Reason He Did Not
Displays Big String.
He was an honest faced young man
who had been off for a days fishing
and IVES returning home with rea-
sonably fine string and much self salts
faction. He had scarcely boarded the
street car, however, when a passenger
with a deep voice growled out:
Yes; l was out fishing myself one
day last week. l brought home 20
pounds. bought 'em of regular fish
ermanv'
A giggle was heard here and there
among the passengers, and then a man
with a squeaky voice observed:
"I've played the game myself, but it
was years ago, when / was bad man.
l bought 'em from the fisherman and
brought em down home and lied about
'em-lied in the most barefaced and
shameful manner! Yes, gentlemen,
that is the one regret of my life!'
The young man with the fish was
red faced and uncomfortable, and as
he was hitching around man with a
wart on his nose called out in loud
voice:
Gentlemen, don't deny that love
whisky, but l am not liar! get
drunk and smash things but 1 rever-
ence the truth Before l would lie
about fish l would torture myself at
the stake!"
Eight or ten passengers clapped their
hands in applause, and then Ratchet
faced young man rolled up his eyes
and exclaimed:
''They not only lie to the public, but
go home and lie to their poor, inno-
cent wives and trusting children
The honest faced young man saw
that all were against him, and he de-
cided to leave the car. AS he rose up
to motion to the conductor a TAT man
who had been browsing reused up and
said:
Gentlemen, | date my downfall
from that one thing-from the first lie

"All OFF, shouted the conductor as
the car stopped.
The young man with the injured feel
ings got down and pulled his fish after
him, and the fat man continued:
"And Providence punished me for it.
Gentlemen, if l was to live my life
over again, if 1 could only be set back
80 years, l might rob and steal and
cheat and even do murder, but would
not sneak off for the day and then re-
turn at night and buy fish at the wharf
and take 'em home to my confiding

And the car rolled on, and the young
man with the perch and bass and fish
pole stood In the cleaning and looked
after 1t and clinched his hands and
gritted his teeth and whispered cuss
words, and an hour later pedestrian
stumbled over something on the side

LOOKS LIKE A co,
Business Mems Association and Fac
tory Promoters Get Together at
the Grant House.
MONEY BEING RAISED TODAY
The Chicago Foundry Will Accept the
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Factory wants
Five Acres on which to Locate.

It now looks as if the new iron and
steel company which is being organ
lied IN Chicago will certainly locate on
the Avery plat of ground on Prairie
avenue, Last evening the promoters
of the new factory and the Kenosha
Business Mems association met at the
par1ors of the Grant house and the
matter. was definitely settled. AS a
result OF the meeting committee of
the members of the association are
calling on the people today seeking to
raise the 81, 200 needed to purchase the
site, and from the way they we're re-
cefved this morning it is evident that
the money will be raised before the day
is over. Mr.. Taylor, who is one of the
men interested in the new plant, APP
peared before the business men last
evening and stated that he would
locate here if the land was provided.
He stated that he would at once erect
buildings costing $40, 900 and that these
buildings would be equipped with ma
chinery at aEcost of $4,000. At soon
as thes- buildings are completed the
company will employ about forty men,
and it is estimated that the opening of
the plant would bring some twenty
new families to the city.
The business men were greatly i'm
pressed by the plain statement of the
promoter of the factory, and sub
scription paper was at once started to
raise the funds necessary for purchas-
ing the plat of ground. Before the
meeting had adjourned the committee
had secured $225 from the men
in the room. It is understood that
the association is to purchase the land
and give it to the new foundry on the
understanding that the factory shall
be in operation for period of five
years. Many members of the associa-
ton are inclined to believe that one
year is long enough to withhold the
title to the land, and these men state
that if the company are willing to
spend $4,000 on the land, the associa-
ton should be willing to run the risk
of losing 81, 200.
After this matter had been settled,
Wallace ingalls,, of Racine, addressed
the association in the interests of the
Arnold Gasoline Engine company. He
said the company had decided to erect
a factory and would locate in this city
if the Business Mems association
would furnish the company with five
acres of land on which to locate the
buildings. He stated that the company
had ample financial backing and that
they were ready to erect two buildings
each 12Ox6O feet. Mr.. ingalls, made no
statement in regard to the number Of
men to be employed by the company,
but said the company would employ
large number of men.
This industry was fully described IN
the News few days ago, and, as the
product of the plant has proved to be
success on the market, the factory will
undoubtedly be built. Mr. ingalls, stated
that the enterprise is being backed by
banker and a grain merchant at Sha-
ron, Wis. The plan presented by Mr..
ingalls, was referred to a committee
who will investigate and report to the
association at an early date.

WOOSTER JOHNSON GUILTY
The slayer of Emanuel Dodson Com
yicfed of MnnsIaughter.

Wooster Johnson, alias Wooster Clark.
colored, was yesterday convicted of man
slaughter In Criminal Court No /, Justice
Clabaugh presiding. He was placed on
trial on Thursday, charged with the muir
der OF Emanuel Dodson, also colored, on
the 9th day of June last. and the jury,
after considering the testimony. returned
| the verdict in less than hal. hour
The difficulty which resulted in the death
of Dodson occurred near the corner Of
Twenty fourth and Streets northwest,
about P. m, on the date mentioned. Dod-
son. the defendant, Isaac Tyson. William
Mills. and others, just previous to the
tragedy, were engaged in a crap game on
vacant lot near Johnson's home. During
the game difficulty arose between Dudson
and Johnson. In WHICH 1t was stated that
the former cut the latter with a knife.
After this, 1t was claimed ty the defen-
dant, that when johnson went to his home
Dodson followed him and again attempted
TO assault him. 1t was at that time that
some of Johnsons friends called to him to
lookout for Dodson, that he turned around
and saw the latter coming toward him
with an open knife in his hand. Dodson
was SO near him, johnson claimed. that
he had no time or opportunity to escape,
so he drew pistol from his pocket and
fired. Dodson fell in the street and John
son ran away and evaded arrest for some
days.
The friends OF Dodson claim that during
the game johnson and his friends. Tyson
and Mills, crowded him and beat him
most numerically, and later attacked him.
and when he resisted Johnson shot him.
Tyson and Mills were arrested at the
time and are held as accessories to the
murder of Dodson. The charge against
them will be disposed Of during the COM
ing week
