now TO PREVENT IT.

We print in another column table of
comparative prices furnished by Mr.
Henry w. Lamb, president of the New
England Free Trade league. 1t presents
the United States prices on about a
score of articles produced by trusts un-
der the protection of tariff duties. and
compares them with the corresponding
but much lower prices in England.
The articles in this table are of great
importance to countless American in
dustries, into which they enter, either
incidentally, or as the chief materials.
The effect of the trust prices is to put
all production in which these articles
are required upon an unsound because
an artificially unsound basis. We are
developing an export trade in many
lines of American manufacture that is
becoming the wonder of the world.
Americans are not only proud ofswhat
has already been accomplished, but look
forward with eagernes for every prom
lSeu increase III our exports.
This eagerness is the more intense be-
cause we have reached such a stage in
our industrial development that the
prosperity and even the maintenance of
thousands of our people absolutely de-
pend upon selling their products
abroad. And yet at the outset, at the
very foundation of manufacturing en-
terprise, the tariff enables the trusts,
which it has created to extort for the
material of industry price twenty-five,
fifty, sometimes one hundred per cent
above what foreign competitor pays
for the same materials.
Every handicap, every disadvantage
of this sort must be removed If Ameri-
can producers are to continue to win in
the sharp competition of foreign COM
merce. Every trust extortion, then,
should be resented for two reasons: 1t
makes our consumers pay more and our
producers sell less. And every tariff
duty that protects trust in its extor
tions should be abolished.

IHE Porto RICAN HIPPODROME.

The Puerto Rican fight is all over ex-
cept the shouting, at least so far as the
senate is concerned. 1t is as certain as
any event in the future can be, that the
bill will pass on Tuesday by very nearly
a strict party majority. The Republi-
can recalcitrants will vote for free trade
amendments and then will come to heel
in the most approved manner and vote
for the bill. And so the hipodrome will
end.
But even at this late day it may be
worth while to call attention to the
vanishing trade of Puerto Rico. By
some oversight the war department has
given out for publication a set of
statistics that show the condition of the
island with startling vividness. Statis-
tics are dull reading generally, but he
who will read between the lines Of these
will see picture of misery that should
come home to the least compassionate,

: CALUMNIATING THE BOERs.
Chicago Chronicle.)

If a newspaper protesting to be Ameri-
can chooses to print string of abon-
Unable calumnies against the Beers or
other peoples struggling to maintain
their independence against remorse-
less enemy outnumbering them poten-
TALLY a hundred to one at least there is,
of course, no law to prevent. But some
little regard for the intelligence of the
American people should restrain paper
so disposed from attempting to palm off
the calumniator as an American cor
respondent.
Such a paper does not pay a high COM
pliment to the intelligence of its
readers in speaking of man as an
American when he repeatedly advertises
himself as a Briton in the very letter
which it commends to it's readers as
the work of an American.
The letter was written from Kimberly
to q London newspaper, the Mail, by
Julian Ralph. In pouring forth his
strocious calumnies he tells of what
"our people" saw the Beers do and what
1--WE" found in this. that and the other
place. By the use Of such words as these
he Identifies himself half dozen times
or more with the British, who are en-
gagged in the characteristic and long
cherished enterprise of annihilating the
two Dutch republics of South Africa and
benevolently asslmiliating their terri
tory and other property AMI making
free" subjects of the Beers themselves
This man may possibly believe all the
vallainous stories he tells about the
Beers, but 1t is altogether too much tc
attempt to palm him off as an American
when from the beginning to the end oi
his venomous screed he takes particular
pains to write himself down a Briton
Let no man suppose that true Ameri
can would stoop to such a thing as re-
failing all the lying British camp yarns
about the Beers and offering as facti
all the British VOLTS excuses for setting
about the work of assassinating libert,
in South Africa-a work which, happily
they have found very much NOR
difficult than they expected, and whicl
they have not yet SO fully accomplished
and the rest of the world believe.

Richmond, Va, March 24-The series
of exciting events in Greenville county
the past week eliminated today in a
double lynching at Emporia. Bob Cot
ton, the negro who, according to his
confession. killed Sanders and Weller
and O'Grady. the white man who was
with him IN the cabin when the murder
occurred, We're hanged by a mob vari-
ously estimated at from 1,50o to 2 DOC
strong.
This morning the sheriff of the coun-
ty discharged from duty the military
that had been sent from this city at
his request, and Major Cutchings, in
command of the troops, notified Cover
nor Tyler, stating at the same time
that he thought that if the prisoners
were left unprotected by the military
they would be lynched. The governor
replied as follows:
'"The responsibility is on the sheriff.
II he orders you TO withdraw you can
do nothing but obey. We have done
everything possible to uphold law and
prevent mob violence, and are still
prepared to render every aid neces-
sary."
Accordingly Major Cutchings en-
trained his men and started for Rich
h.
Hardly was the train out of sight when
mob entered the IL, took Cotton,
hanged him to the limb of a tree and
fired forty bullets into his body.
Later, despite the protests of cooler
heads, who claimed that the guilt of
the white man had not been estab-
hshed, another crowd, composed large
ly of negroes, entered the Jail, over
came the resistance of the few who
tried to protect O'Grady, took him out
and hanged him also.
Three other prisoners whom Cotton
charged with having committed the
Block murder and robbery, were dis
charged by the judge and left town. At
last accounts the town had resumed
its wonted quietude.

BOUGHT SITE FOR HOTEL
MONTANA MAN PAYS S12, 900
FOR A LOT.
Purchases Property Near the Site of
the New Union Depot-A Big
Hotel in Prospect.

Moses Evan Id Joseph P. Evans
yesterday sold a zee of property that
they owned jointly to John D. Murray,
the millionaire mining man from Mon
tana. The property is between Third
and Fourth West, and will have a
twenty rods frontage on the new Union
depot. 1t will also have a five rods
frontage on Third South. The price
paid was $4,000, which is considered
very good, as the property has been
ordinary residence property up to this
time.
A. Fred Wey was largely interested
in working through the deal, and the
understanding is general that a large
hotel will be built on the property by
the new proprietor When that is done
Mr.. Wey will be put in as manager.
With the Union depot a certainty, it is
conceded that the purchased property
is valuable for hotel purposes.
