Seeing is Believing.


American Economist:-Rev.
DR.. Broughton of Atlanta, Ca,
is just back from a European trip
and he is quoted in dispatch
from that city as saying that his
trip had convinced him that this
country should continue to adhere
to its Protective Tariff policy.
Previous to his trip abroad Dr..
Broughton had not been a be-
lever in the Protective system,
but the low wages paid to labor
in foreign countries worked his
conversion. "Seeing is believ-
ing" they say, and having now
seen for himself, DR.. Broughton
believes in fact which Protec-
tionists have been pointing out
for many years. The only pity
is that more Free-Traders do not
go abroad and see for themselves
and so be made to realize the fol-
ly of the policy which would ad-
NIT foreign products free into
this country and so bring Amerl-
can labor into direct competition
in the American market with the
down-trodden labor of Europe.

frequently asserts that an exper-
ience at the American custom

pean trip ouSht to be sufidient to

Protection and all its ways. The

enough in itself to inculcate
belief in Free-trade. They arr
respectfully referred, therefore

CORRESPONDENCE

Washington, Oct. 22.-B. w. Wells
Jr., who was flag lieutenant to Admi-
raj Schley while the latter commanded
the flying squadron, occupied practic-
ally the entire time of the Schley
court of inquiry yesterday. He was
asked mainly as to dispatches re-
ceiyed and sent by Schley. While this
line Of investigation was being ex-
plotted, Rayner, speaking for Schley,
said the admiral was willing to admit
that he had received the Dear Schley"
letter on the Dupont which arrived at
Cienfuegos May %, but, he added,
that no duplicate of this dispatch had
ever been received by Schley. He
said also the admiral admitted the
receipt of two copies of No. 8, Samp-
sons dispatch. saying the Spanish
fleet was probably at Santiago and
telling Schley that "if satisfied that It
(the Spanish feet is not at Cienfue-
gos to proceed with all dispatch TO
Santiago" One Of these was received
by the Hawk May %, and the other
by the Marblehead May "a.

Since December Is, 1898, he has been
on the retired list. During the civil
war he was executive officer Of the
Penobscot in blockading service off
Wilmington, N. c.; took part in va
rious boat expeditions and Skin
mishes; served on the Pawnee and
had charge of the naval part in the
attack and capture Of Morris island,
n. c.; served on the Mentor Pataps-
co in the siege of Charleston until
wounded by explosion Of cartridges;
in 1866 he took the Monitor Monad-
mock from Philadelphia TO San Fran
cisco, the first extended sea voyage
ever made by a ship of that class. He
served as commander at Newport ma
val training station, the north Allan
tic station and the Brooklyn navy
yard.
Admiral Bunce's death, while sud

his family had been warned to expect
the worst. Last May cancer of the

disease attacked the throat and the
patient grew weaker from that time,

courage which always characterized
the man. Two weeks ago he took to

Peter Bell. a miller living at Saint

left Indianapolis by wagon. There
they sold the wagon and continued
their journey on foot. They walked

When confronted by the father of the
girl and local officers, the leader at

band, who treated her cruelty The
camp is composed of twenty people

die west. Bell intends to have the
gipsies indicted and extradited to
Mercer county, Ohio, for trial. Bell

search for his daughter.

Sentence Deals Exclusively With Man

Tacoma, Wash, Oct. 22.-Oriental
adyices state that governors, judges
and high military officers are included
among eighty high officials who are
ordered beheaded or banished by an
imperial Chinese edict for participant
ing il the boxer movements of last
year
This edict deals exclusively with
mandarins of all classes connected
with the boxers. 1t recites that fifty
six mandarins have already suffered
the extreme penalty of the law for
their misdeeds. The emperor's brother
has presented a fresh list of manda-
rims deserving punishment.
The edict directs that every person
named on the list shall be punished,
many being sentenced to death and
others to lifelong Punishment beyond
the frontiers of China. The list is a
startling one from a Chinese stand
point, but Shanghai papers say it fails,
as usual, to include the most illustri.

WANT TARIFF WAR
GERMAN SOCIETY DISCUSSES
"AMERiCAN DANGER"
OUR EXPORTS ALARM THEM
Secretary of Organization Recommends
the Formation of a Central Euro
pean Customs Union Against
United States-Other Speakers
Warn Against This.

Berlin, Oct. 22-The Bund der In
dnstriellen held general meeting
here yesterday at which was discussed
the American danger and the new
German tariff. The general secretary
ofthe bund Dr. Wonderland, described
the American danger as extremely
grave and said Germanys manufac-
turers were fully conscious of this
danger. He quoted figures showing
the extraordinary growth of exports
from the United States to Germany
and the decline In the movement of
goods in the opposite direction, and
complained that the average of duties
imposed by the United States is so
per cent, while in Germany it is only
10. A further hardship, he said, is
the requiring Of the declaration of in
voices before a consul, this giving the
Americans possession of business Sc
crets of the German manufacturers.
He asserted that the United States
government maintained detectives in
Germany for the purpose of discov-
ering trade secrets and undervalua-
tons and cited the case of a factory
III SaxOny which had been ruined
thereby Referring to President
Roosevelt's reported wish to come to
terms with Germany, the speaker
said:
"Germany's best policy will be to
wait for the Americans to come to us
and then demand the removal of the
worst injustices and annoyances be-
fore we begin fixed treaty. Ger
many should refuse to act until the
United States reduces duties below
20 per cent" Discussing the remedies
at Germany's disposal, DR.. Wendlandt
said the chief one was the tariff, an
increase of which absolutely must be
applied. This" he declared, would
bring America to her senses and coun-
teract the boundless despotism OF the
trusts"
He recommended the formation of a
central European customs union
against the United States and admit
ting the great difficulties in the way
of this declared if is should prove i'm
possible then common agreement
should be made to treat American
goods differently from those Of other
countries. Other speakers warned
against tariff war with the United
States, since that country can easily
get from other countries what it now
imports from Germany, while Ger
many would be unable to do the same.
The bund adopted resolutions favor
ing the passage of a tariff bill after
dropping the double system of duties
on grain in order that Germany may
have new duties for the securing of
advantageous trade relations with the
United States. The bund also rec
commended that plan for European
customs against the United States be
farther considered.
