MANUFACTURERS TROUBLES. The Coast Is Not Altogether Clear Be- fore Those Favored by Pro-
 lection.

Even the protected manufacturers have their troubles. They have al- ways taken it for granted that those who vote for Mckinley and Dingley tariffs believe in high prices and are entirely willing to pay them. There fore the protected manufacturers have always had two or more price lists and have reserved their highest prices for Americans and the lowest for the benighted foreigners, who, presumably, believe in cheapness Or dinarily the American pays about 40 per cent. more than does the foreign CT for American-made goods.
 This method of selling our goods was working with the smoothness of well-oiled machinery when the Ha- walian islands were annexed to this country. Then the trouble began. As the Hawaiian has never voted on the Mckinley and Dingley bills, how could our manufacturers tell whether these Pacific islanders preferred high or low prices? As a result some manu- facturers kept on selling goods to the Hawaiians just as if they were still foreigners, while other manufactur- CTS treated the Hawaiians as full fedged Americans and entitled to genuine American prices. Chaos fol- lowed. As our western tariff wall does not stop at the Pacific coast, but has been extended around the Hawaiian islands, American goods in l1111 o+ T,Q brought back to San Francisco and sold at a profit, at less than the prices fixed by the manufacturers on the same goods in California. As it is contrary to one of the fundamental laws of political economy to have the same goods selling at the same time and in the same market at two prices, the consternation of the manufactur- CTS may be imagined. They began to blame each other and to apply harsh names to those who were not prompt in extending the blessings of high prices to all under the folds of the American flag. The discussion of this question has been raging among the manufacturers for a year. One of lIt 1dItSb COulIIDullO1lS IO llllo eiA' cussion is in the Iron Age of June 27, 1901, and is signed by ''Western Manufacturer" It is in part as fol- lows: "It so happens that at present the price of our goods is about 25 per cent. higher for domestic con sumption than the export prices. We had an inquiry for export prices, which we quoted. The order now comes in to be shipped to Honolulu. Is it fair to consider the Hawaiin is- lands entitled to export prices?
 Our own opinion is that they have become a part of the United States and should be considered domestic territory as much as Alaska. Also, we understand our tariff applies to this territory, so that they are pro- hibited from buying outside and we are thus enabled to get domestic prices.''

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.

-"Cuba is, and of right should be, free and independent" and yet it is said to be the purpose of the admins tration to hold Morro castle, which is the key to Cuba.
 The sheep shearers of Wyoming are enjoying the fruits of their sup port of the republican party by re- duction in the price of shearing sheep from seven to six cents head, and this under the highest wool tariff ever imposed.
 The Hanna soft coal combine has been formed, with Daniel R. Han ma, son of Senator Hanna, as presi- dent. Democrats and republicans alike will have to suffer when winter comes and the trust begins to get in it's work.
 The Kansas farmer is in the midst of republican prosperity. Hay is $2o ton and corn 55 cents a bushel, and he is buying at these golden prices to keep his stock from starving. Wheat, of which he has some to sell, Is only 50 cents bushel.

ARKANSAS STATE NEWS.
Arkansas at the Worlds Fair.

One of the Arkansas honorary com mlsisoners to the St. Louis Worlds fair has submitted a suggestion to the executive committee. The sugges- tion, which will be adopted, follows: ''We want to show Arkansas to the best advantage at the St. Louis Worlds fair. We must have some thing new and attractive that will en- gage the attention of the millions of visitors at the exposition. Now, my idea is that we should arrange an eX hibition hall iT the Arkansas building, in which shall be exhibited stereopti- con and cineomatograph views of the varied interests, industries and scen- cry of the state. There could be pie lures of mines, sawmills, pearl fish cries. manufacturing plants, cotton plantations and many other things that would be of intense interest to all the world. We might also exhibit pictures of our distinguished citizens. Let all of this be free, and the hall would be continually crowded with interested visitors. They would be given a concrete idea of the state which they could not get from books or literature of any sort"

Fooled With an old Pistol.

Joe Holly, about 12 years of age. and a playmate, Charles Utchison, about F years of age, were playing together at the home of Joe Holly at Hatten, 20 miles south of Mena, and found an old rusty pistol. They thought it was great fun to stick the barrel of the pistol into each others mouth and pull the trigger, thinking the weapon was not loaded. They had snapped the pistol several times when it became Utchison's time to snap it in Holley's mouth, and when he pulled the trigger the cartridge exploded and killed Holly instantly. The ball went through his throat in a slanting course and came out between his shoulders, severing the spinal column.
