what she has always been-the con.
servator of the liberties of our coun-
try?
Again, we are but just entering
upon career of prosperity unexam-
pied in the worlds history. Why
should we, after witnessing the fu-
tile efforts of other sections to regu-
late labor by various expedients, put
an obstacle in the way of this pro-
gress by putting blow upon on
this the entering wedge of irritation
and discontentp Recent occurrences
in the capital of this State should be
an object less to some people. Such
confusion and collision did not re-
ceive its inspiration from any en-
couragement in the laws or usages
of our own State. But the adVo-
Gates of this measure say it is COM
ing. The day of judgment may be
coming, but how many are willing to
help it on? The truth, as I see it,
is that all the trouble which is trying
to be averted both by legislation and
organization originate in and from
conditions which both will rather
tend to aggra7ate than palliate.
They will rather tend to hasten than
delay the final conflict, which seems
to be inevitable. 1t would require
national Legislation of an extremely
drastic nature to stave off Indefinite
ly the eliminating influences which
seem to be leading on to this con-
fict, and such legislation existing
conditions will never permit.
I cannot imagine why any factory
operative should ask for this legisla-
ton. 1t is certainly their right to
keep their children out of the facto-
ries if they so elect and are able to
do so. I have never heard of any
effort being made to coerce them.
If any such effort has been or is be-
ing made, 1t suggests forcibly where
legislation is needed. I do not think
that in 80 many words those good
people of the factory would say
to US; Come, tell US how to treat
and take care of our children; we are
not able-ha7e not sense enough.
Yet such is the import of the pro-
posed legislation. I am inclined to
think that many who are asking this
legislation do not know exactly what
they are asking it for.
In conclusion ! desire to cay that
as far as sympathy for the poor of
our country is concerned, my own
condition suggests that I should feel
that sympathy as much as most
others. I am a poor man myself
and it requires the united efforts OF
myself and family in order to &C.
quire an honest and honorable sup
port. I do not, however, desire such
legislation as is proposed for myself,
nor do I wish to impose it. upon
others.
Further, do not intend, by any
thing I have written, to impugn the
motives Of those opposed to my
views, but am willing to believe that
they are equally sincere with my
self. I do not know what is popu-
lar on this question, nor do l care.
1 was sworn as a representative in
part of the citizens of my State to do
my duty to the best of my ability
and that duty I feel that have con
scientiously performed. If my course
does not please my constituency, I
thank God that in this still free coun-
try they have the privilege of send
ing such men to represent them as
will carry out their will in this as in
ali other things. JNo. F. BANKS.

THE CHILD LABOE BILL.
Representative Banks gives His Reasons
For Oppotlng the Bill.

Editor Herald and News.
! do not desire, nor will / enter
into a controversy involving child
labor legislation, or indeed labor
legislation of any kind. The less
agitation we have of this sort the
better for the country. But there is
so much real or apparent sympathy
manifested, both in desultory con-
versation and in public print, direct
ly or indirectly incriminating the
motives or sentiments of those who
are conscientiously opposed to such
Legislation, that for myself desire
to make public some of the reasons
why I am opposed to such legisla
ton.
will begin by admitting that I
am one of the "old fogies" cf South
Carolina and do not blush at the sy-
nonym. While I do not wish to say
anything in derogation of the pro-
gressive spirit Of our New England
neighbors, or Of the civil, social and
industrial organizations of the coun
tries of Europe, I yet feel it incum-
bent upon me, as an humble citizen
of my native State, to say something
in defense of the unique position
which she has always occupied as
one of the States of this great union
of states.
She has uniformly cherished a
strong attachment to the principles
of liberty. In this she has been
apparently instinctively persistent
In defense of these principles she
has always shown her willingness to
make any necessary sacrifice. It is
needless to enumerate the instances
in which she has done this-it is q
matter of history.
Now, why should those who appose
with all their power that which ap
pears to them q blemish on her fair
record and an encroachment on the
liberty for love of which she has
sacrificed so much be accused of
wanting the common feelings of hu-
manity ? I have been in factories and
have seen the little ones, barefoot
and scantily clad, working in the
various departments and have felt
pangs of sorrow and sympathy move
nv heart. But that sorrow was as
much for the poor old mother who
was there, too, working in the same
condition as the children, whose ne
cessities compelled her to have them
there with her. l am willing to
| credit all parents with the same
anxiety for and care of their chill
| dren which I have for my own. This
is an instructive principle which God
himself has implanted, even in the
brute. The few exceptions to this
rule are men below the brute and
should be legislated out of existence
by proper amendment Of the vagrani
laws of the State. Why should L
or any one else, feel willing to helE
enact humiliating legislation upon
respectable class of citizens which
we would not be willing to submit tt
ourselves. Besides, as it app :ars tt
me, we are attempting to mine tn
very foundation of civil liberty
Once commenced, who can tell where
such legislation will end? Who oh

LOCAL PRODUCE MARKET
GOOD TRADE IN PREPARATION FOR
SATURDAYS BUSINESS.
Increasing Arrivals of Fresh stun
Cause Easier Prices-PrOduce,
However, Is on a High Plane.

Not many quotable changes were made
yesterday, prices, as usual. at the close OF
the week ruling steady and on most articles
strong. Especially is this true OF articles
in the way Of eatables. The retail mer-
chants were liberal buyers. as were those
who attend market on Saturday and the
commission houses did a good business
Irish potatoes hold firm at the prices which
have prevailed during the week. Green
beans. green peas. beets and other vegeta-
bles, cabbage excepted, rule easy and are
selling freely. Strawberries are coming in
very literally and prices are easing OF 10
an extent that they are entering more into
general consumption. Home growers say
the outlook for a large supply of home
berries is good. Yesterday strawberries of
Tennessee growth were on the market, but
inferior to stock which came from further
south. The produce market is a puzzle.
Every day seems the last that prevailing
prices can continue, but eggs. poultry and
butter are in good request and prices are
practically the same on eggs and poultry as
a week ago. The provision market is in
strong tone and further advances are
thought to be probable. Tropical fruits are
in good supply. Pineapples are coming.
both in barrels and crates, and are selling
lower than when first on the market last
year. Oranges are selling we'll and prices
firm but no higher. Flour is not so strong
in tone as on Monday. and lower prices are
indicated. The iron and steel markets are
very active. Travelling statesmen who came
in last evening brought liberal orders. 1t is
very evident that the recent rains have
frightened the outlook for business all
through this part of the country.

The new HAVEN'S FUTURE
VIEWS OF INTERESTED OFFICIALS
ON THE VARIOUS RUMORS.
The Pennsylvania the Pay
of Over 1000 Men-GeneraI and
Personal Railway News.

That the Pennsylvania Railway Company
will purchase outright the New York, New
Haven & Hartford road is. under present
conditions, practically impossible, but as
soon as the Wards Island bridge is COM
pleted, forming an immediate connection
with the New York, New Haven & Hart
ford and the Long Island roads, the Penn
sylvania will be in a position to negotiate
a long lease of the consolidated lines, and
that the basic terms of such a lease have
been discussed by parties in interest is not
denied. 1t is common report at Boston
and New York that the Pennsylvania is
willing TO guarantee 10 per cent. on its cap
ital stock. Officials of the roads interested
are reticent as to what progress has been
made. The last annual statement gave the
geographical distribution of the company's
stock as follows: In Massachusetts, 4,l6O
stockholders, holding 1913. 259 shares; in Con-
necticut, 2,5SS stockholders. with 13S,319
shares; in New York, LAP stockholders,
with 16S,S94 shares; in Rhode Island, 44
stockholders, with 22,e62 shares; and in
other States. TAI stockholders, with 2S,4N
shares; total, 9,4O5 stockholders. with $40, S54
shares, Since the foregoing official state
ment was made an officer of the company
has said hat the drift of transfers of stock
has been somewhat towards New York. In
general, the sic, 397, 200 of debentureS con-
vertible next April into 163, 972 shares have
been distributed like the stockholders, but
somewhat more concentrated. The ten in
surance companies of Hartford hold 1854
shares of the stock and debentures calling
TOR 9,469 shares more.

An Anti-ImperiaIist's View.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
Permit an anti-imperialist to record a
protest against the criticism of General
Smith for his kill. burn and desolate" or
der. He stands well among a body of
honorable gentlemen specially trained to
deal with such situations; and nothing has
come TO us 10 warrant his condemnation.
AS TO the order itself. it was right and
merciful, War is murder, and then some;
nothing ~justifes it, except what may justify
murder and desolation on a large scale: and
its prime purpose is to end its own exist
ence and re-establish peace on just terms.
General Smiths order accomplished that
purpose. Doubtless it resulted in some hun
dreds of deaths, the destruction of some
thousands of dollars worth of property
and some Affections of the unmeasurable
kinds. But ii ended the war in Samar.
saved more lives than il took, more prom
erty than il destroyed, more bereavement
and suffering than il caused. and was as
right and merciful as the knife in the hands
of a skilled surgeon.
Besides. il FASTENED the attainment of
the objects of this war, whatever they may
be; and may excite in the minds of the
citizens of this country, imperialists and
anti-imperialists alike. an inquiry into their
several and individual shares Of RESPONSE
bilitv for the continuance Of conditions in
which such an order is right and merciful.
