UNCLE HORACE ONCE MORE.
His Plan to Annihiiate Trusts and Theil
Ildependent Competitors.

His Plan O Annihiiate Trusts and Their
Independent Competitors.
The latest syndicated TRADE against
Protection sent out by the New Eng
land Free Trade League is from the
pen of our old-time friend. Uncle Ho-
race BoieS. One searches in vain for
a single figure or fact to be applied to
argument and comparison, for a sin
gle truth on which tC base a conclu-
sion. The ex-governor is mad clear
through because there are American as
well as foreign trusts, and in order
that the foreign trusts may thrive the
more he would destroy the American
industries SO that the products of the
foreign trusts could come, and come
free of duty, to flood our markets.
Uncle Horace would not be satisfied
with removing the duties from the So
called raw material used in trust made
goods, for he says:
NO tariff whatever, for revenue or
otherwise, should be levied upon for
eign articles competing with American
trust-made goods. The makers of
these have destroyed competition at
home. They should be made to meet
the competition of the outside world
until they are dissolved and assume
their original component parts. Then,
and not till then. give them the Pro-
lection wisely framed revenue tariff
will afford"
And when they are dissolved and
assume their original and component
parts" then-there will be no indus
tries left to give Protection to, even
for revenue. Just why our Free Trad
ers love the foreign trusts SO much is
not apparent And if Protection is the
real cause of trusts how is it that Free
Trade England is plastered over with
them? The good or evil of trusts. so
called. at home or abroad, is a ques-
ton in no way connected with the
Tariff. and the forced connection made
by Free Traders shows to what ex-
tremes their hatred of American in
dustry and prosperity drives them.
1t is the so-called trusts that do not
fear Free Trade; it is the thousand and
one small competitors that do. That
is why we shall not promote monopoly
by taking away the only chance for
continued competition Free Trade
would first destroy our weaker and
smaller industries. then our larger
ones. because of the destruction of the
home market
Can Ex-Governor Boies or any other
member of the New England Free
Trade League show that they are any
the worse of because of sO-called
trusts That is the question to an
swer.

ing disk at the bottom, the latter having
openings around the outer edge for the
entrance of the water. 1t is we'll
known fact that the water boiling in
a pot or kettle can be made to force
itself through a vertical tube provided
with disk at the bottom, and as open
ings are cut around the top of the tube
the water falls directly on the wire
gauze strainer secured to the tube just
below the perforations. The pot can
be filled with water to any desired
point below the strainer, and when the
required quantity of coffee grounds is
placed on the gauze support and the
pot placed over the fire it will auto
matically filter the strength from the
grounds. AS soon as this has been ac-
complished, the grounds are allowed
to drain for a short time and the foun-
tain and strainer are then lifted out
before serving the coffee. One advan-
tage of this device is that the slight
Earring of the strainer by the move
ment of the boiling water causes the
grounds to readjust themselves con-
stantly, thus presenting all sides to
the hot water.

Senator McLaurin's recent speech in
Charleston, S. c., where he advocated
expansion, protection and support of
President McKinleys policies, and by

nior senator that he made the hot re-
tort in which he openly charged Nc
Laurin with stealing a speech from
New York clergyman. and wound up
with this defiance, whose meaning can
not be miSconstrued:
The people of South Carolina cannot be

TiIImon seeks blood.

Washington telegram: The friends
of United States Senators B. F. Till
man and John L. McLaurin of South
Carolina are fearful that the political
feud which has arisen between them
will develop into personal encounter.
There is great danger that one of these
hot-headed Southerners will say the
word which will mean a duel, unless the
friends can patch up the fast widening
breach In view of the present feeling
of bitter hatred existing between the
men that seems impossible. What
seems most likely is that the men may
meet somewhere and one or the other
extend an insult that, according to the
well-known South Carolina code"
can only be atoned for with blood.
Although Senator Tillman did not
make his savage public attack on Mr..
McLaurin until Saturday last, the bad
blood between the men dates back
more than a year to the time when the
