Remove the customs duties from

field of trade is at once broadened to

probably is true-that the billion-dol-
lar steel corporation would still be
able to manufacture and sell its pro-
ducts at reduced price, but it would
be forced to turn on the smaller cor
porations. Transfer the scene of price
cutting to this country and the hum
dreds of iron and steel manufacturers
who are now doing profitable bust
ness would be forced to the wall, as
they are not in a position to meet the
cut. They might try to reduce wages,
but workmen would object to that
course. Strikes and lockouts would
follow, capital would become timld
again, the distrust would displace con-
fidence in all financial and business
circles.

successfully compete for the control OF
foreign markets, the st. Paul "Pion-
eer-Press" gives unqualified support to
the Babcock programme of SO revising
the Dingloy tariff law as to abolish
protective duties on foreign products
competing with the products of the
iron and steel trust, Out-Heroding
Herod, the Pioneer Press is prepared
to go much farther than the Babcock
bill in the direction of tariff reform,
for it urges that
every consideration of party policy
demands that the Republican party
shall promptly deprive its enemies OF
a weapon which may easily become
powerful ana effective in their hands
that il shall completely dissociate the
protective tariff from the trusts by the
speedy adjustment of all duties on
trust-made articles"
If this wholesale scheme of tariff
revision were TO be carried out the re-
suit would be to practically place the
country on a free-trade basis, for there
are very few industries which are not
to some extent in the hands of trusts.
Therefore, to repeal protective duties
on all foreign articles competing with
American trust-made articles would
virtually involve the repeal of all pro-
tective duties. What, then, becomes of
the concerns operating outside and in
dependent of the trusts? There are
some thousands of such concerns
which are engaged in supplying the
home demand and do little or nothing
in the way of export business. For
example, the wooden trust. Only a
small proportion of the manufacturers
of wooden textiles are Incorporated in
to the American Wooden Company
Shall all these mills be deprived OF
protective duties merely for the sake
of furnishing a combination with which
they are in 10 way connected? Shall
the iron and steel producers outside Of
the big trust be forced to close down
their mills and discharge their work
men in order that free-traders ana
tariff thinkers may make the gallery
play of taking away from the billion
dollar trust the protection which II
frankly states it does not need ana
does not want? That sort of claptrap
would not disturb the billion-!dollar
trust a particle AS a matter OF fact
it would play into the hands OF the
big trust by driving large number
of non-trust concerns out of business.
But how about the non-trust concerns
in all the different lines of industrial
oduction-concerns which employ
greater number of wage-earners than
do the trusts? Republican newspapers
of the "Pioneer-Press" stripe should
think of these things before plunging
heels-over-head into the antitrust
tariff reform puddle.

Mr.. Roosev h Tah.s Oath of Once .,
Buffalo.
Buffalo, NY. Sept. li.-Theodore
Roosevelt, who to day was trsgically
elevated 10 the chief magistrscy of
the American republic by the death
of President Mckinley, entered this
city Of mourning this afternoon al
ter a remarkable and perilous journ-
ey from the heart Of North Woods.
He had been President under the
Constitution and law of the land
since the minute the martyred Presi-
dent ceased TO live. All the duties
Of the Office had devolved upon him,
but he was powerless a. the humb-
lest citizen to exercise one Of them
until he had complied with the con-
stitutional provision requiring him
to take prescribed oath to support
and defend the Constitution and
laws of the United States.
He took that oath at $3.50 this af-
ternOon in the library of the resi-
dence of Ansley Wilcox, personal
friend, with whom he stopped
earlier in the week when the physi-
clans thought President Mckinley
would recover from the wounds in.
fitted by the assassin.
There were present when he swore
to the oath: Secretaries Root, Hitch
cock, Long, and Wilson, and Post
master General Smith, Senator
Chauncey M Depew, of New York
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1901-09-19
WHOLE NATION IN MOURNING

Secretaries Root, Hitchcock end
Wilson, Senator Hanna and Mrs.
McWilliams.
The last news from the house said
Mrs. Mckinley was at her husbands
bedside, and that the rest of the
family; personal as well as official,
who were in the house were gather
ed about the open door of the room,
where the President was breathing
his last.
AS the report of his dying condi-
tion spread, the hush that already
was upon the hundreds of people in
the street seemed even to become
deeper. Scarce word was spoken.
1t was like the solemn stiffness of a
church So far as those nearest the
house were concerned. The only
sound was the swift clicking of the
telegraph instruments as the news
was rushed away.
The only thing that Jared in all
the scene was the glare of the expo
sition fireworks, something like a
mile and half away. The dull re-
port of exploding bombs could be
heard, and the colored lights played
directly upon one of the windows of
the room in whicn the President lay

walls Of the stomach near its lower
border. Both holes were found to
be perfectly closed by the stitches,
but the tissue around each hole had
become gangrenOus. After passing
through the stomach the bullet pass
ed into the back walls of the alb
domen, hitting and tearing the up
per end Of the kidney. This por-
tion Of the bullet track was also
gangrenous, the gangrene involving
the pancreas. The bullet has not
yet been found. There was no sign
of peritonitis or disease Of other Or
gans. The heart walls were very
thin. There was no evidence ofany
attempt at repair on the part Of na-
ture, and death resulted from the
gangrene, which affected the stomach
around the bullet wounds as well as
the tissues around the further course
of the bullet. Death was unavoid-
able by any surgical or medical
treatment, and was the direct result
of the bullet wound.

dying. The exposition manage
ment evidently had not heard of the
Presidents critical condition. At
all events they started up their py-
rOtechnics at the usual hour. Then
the half whispered comments of the
groups within the ropes were words
of indignation at the heedlessness of
somebody.
At 9:2O Mrs. Hanna and Mr.. Dan
Hanna came hurriedly up in an
automobile aud entered. Then came
Attorney General Knox, who had
hardly got inside the door before the
message from Secretary Cortelyou
came Out-the message that the end
was at hand. Secretary Cortelyou's
words were:
81 wish to announce to the press
and the American people that the
President is dying"
Almost at the same time there
came from DIR. Mynter word that
/, the death chill had set. By this
time the fireworks at the exposition
was banging away. Nobody needed
it now. Attention was too concen-
trated on every movement about
the door of the house to heed for a
moment anything else. At 9:4a
there came another formal statement
from Secretary Cortelyou. 1t was
that the President was unconscious
and his last lucid moments were
spent with Mrs. Mckinley. "Tht
pulse has left the Presidents ex
tremities. Consciousness seems tt
have departed finally. He may liv'
until midnight. In his last moment
of consciousness he spoke words o
lcomfort to Mrs. Mckinley"
