The shipbuilding trade of Great
Britain is comparatively stagnant
this winter. The tonnage of mer-
chant ships in course of construction
within the kingdom is less than at
any time since 1897. Then, the guam
tity of work on hand had for "A long
time been fluctuating between G00,-
900 and 100000 tons. In the fall of
that year an Improvement began,
which led up to "A tonnage of 1,4l4,120
year ago. There has since been
steady decline, to 1OoO,714 tons at
present. The regularity of the de-
cfcase-about 10000 tons month
is striking. Several thousand em-
ploycs have been discharged from
the shipyards during the last two
months. +. W MAHIN.

German Bicycle Exports.

The German export of bicycles for
the year 1900 was $2,50O,0OO. This
figure is exceeded by the English eX-
port for the same year, which was
81. $4,000; and by the American eX-
port, which was $3,070,0Oo. Germany
had, however, made gain, for her
exports in 1899 were but $2,7S5,O0O,
while the English were $3,213,000 and
the United States $4,S07,OO0. During
the year 1901, Germany rose to the
head of the list, with an export of
81 1927 900, while England came next
with So ,S0S,00O. and the United States
had only $3.50 900. These figures in
clude complete bicycles as well as
parts. OF particular interest is the
decline in the American export, which
in 1898 amounted to $7,150,000, or as
much as the combined exports of
England and Germany. The eXplana-
ton of this decline is found in the
strong restriction of the European
market. In 1898, Europe took So,
23G, OG0 worth of bicycles from Amer
lea; in 1901. only S1,475, 900, of which
$5OO,OO0 were taken by England and
about the same amount by Germany.
During the first six months of 1902,
the German export shows a further
gain the total being 50 1882, 900, or an
increase of $5OO.OOO over the same
period Of 1901. Most of the countries
of Europe are reported to have inn
ported more German bicycles during
the first six months of 1902 than
either English or American wheels.

BIG FIRE IN MARION.
The Fire Breaks Out at Midnight and the
People, Awakened by the Fire Bell,
Rush to the Scene In Crowds.
News and Courier.

Marion, October 31.-Msrion was
visited by another destructive fire
last night. About midnight people
were aroused by the ringing of the
fire bell and soon large crowd had
assembled at the scene of the fire
When discovered the flames had such
headway that there was no chance OF
subduing them. The fire originated
in the kitchen of the Planters Hotel
and is supposed to have been caused
by defective fue. Among the
buildings burned were the Planters
Hotel, q large three story frame build
ing, owned by Mr.. j. W. Holiday;
the frame livery stables of Messrs.
J.W. Holiday & Son, a large frame
building, owned by Mrs. l.. W. OIL
YER, and two small houses, owned by
Mrs. M. E. Matthews. All the build
ings burned were on the. east side of
Main Street, north of the railroad.
1t was only by the hardest work that
the livery stables of Mr.. E. E. Evans,
just across the street from the Plant
ers Hotel, and the dwelling of J. NJ
Williams were kept from burning.
Messrs. J. W. Holiday & Son had
$1,000 insurance on their buildings
and contents; $500 of which was in
the London and Liverpool and Globe,
represented by J. W. johnson, $4,000
in the Commercial Union and $4,000
in the Phoenix of Brooklyn, both
represented by Stackhouse & Man
ming. Mr.. E. B. Wooten, proprietor
of the Planters, lost all his furniture
~ad effects, including all his family
waring apparel. His loss is. about
$4,000, on which there was $1,000
insurance, distributed among the fol
lowing companies: Phoenix, of Lon
don, $3.50, Greenwich $3.50, Palatine
$500, all in the agency of P B. Ha
mer, and 5000 in the Equitable, of
Charleston, in the agency of J. B
White. W. F. Williams, whose wood
shop was amongthe buildings burned,
had S400 insurance on his tools and
material in the Orient, J. B. Whites
agency. T. E Taylor had $3.50 on
his barber shop furniture in the Man
chester, j. B. Whites agency. Mrs
Oliver and Mrs. Ma hews had no in
surance on their buildings, and their
losses will amount to about $500
each.

Morristown, N. j Former Presi-
dent Cleveland spoke Thursday night
Ia q political meeting held in Lyceum
Hall Special trains brought hun
dreds Of people from other cities and
towns in this vicinity, and Mr..
Cleveland was given an ovation. Mr..
Cleveland said in part:
'sI am especially pleased to learn
that tariff reform has been made the
principal issue in the canvass you
have in hand. Never within my ob
servation or experience has there
been a time when this should be
more earnestly, persistently and hon
estly pressed upon the attention of
our countrymen than now.
ss0f course, custom duties must
continne to be the source OF govern
ment maintenance until another plan
is devised; but a tariff, constructed
for the purpose of protection as its
chief object, is at all times and in
every feature of it an unjust and
unfair burden upon the masses
Of our people; but the bold
and arrogant developments OF its
unfairness and injustice in recent
pears, and the new directions they
have taken, ought to especially ar
rest the attention and apprehension
of every thoughtful, sober minded
citizen.
MI. Cleveland reverted to former
Democratic tariff campaigns and
quote6 several paragraphs from his
tariff message of 1887,

only the accepted position of the

FOR INCREASE OF CAPITAL.
Fees That the Secretary of State Must
Collect.

The following opinion has been
filed by the assistant attorney gene
raj in response to a request from the
Secretary of State, and it means con-
siderable to companies desiring to
increase their capital stock.
Dear Sir: You request to be ad-
vised as to the fees to be charged for
increasing the capital stock of corpo-
rations. 49,.
Section 851 of the civil code of
1902 provides the manner for in
creasing the capital stock, and d.
rects that the fee to be paid to the
Secretary of State shall be the fee
required by section 1888 for each
charter issued or renewed.
That section provides: "The Sec
retsry of State is hereby authorized
and required to collect the following
fees upon each charter issued or re-
newed to any corporation, payable
when said charter is issued or re
newed. The sum of one mill upon
each dollar Of the capital stock au
thorized, up to and including one
hundred thousand dollars, the sum
of one half of mill upon each dol
lar of the capital stock exceeding one
hundred thousand dollars, and up to
and including one million dollars,
and the sum of one fourth of mill
upon each dollar Of the capital stock
exceeding one million dollars" etc.,
and the fees for fling and recording
the necessary papers.
It is evident that the fees as stated
under section 1888 are the fees to be
charged for an increase of capital
stock. OF course this section does
not apply to municipal corporations,
churches, colleges, schools, or other
eleemosynary organizations.

ties made and sold by members OF
the combination When this was
written I suppose the trusts and COM
binations mentioned as quite. preva
lent, so far as they were at all impor-
tant, might have been counted off by
i the fingers of the hands. When the
friends of the tariff last took up the
work of it's reconstruction these trusts
and combinations had increased by
| the hundreds. The consequence of
their operations could not fail to be
understood. It was as plain then as
now that high protective tariff de-
fends them against foreign compe-
tion, and that by greed association
and confederacy in production. and
price they defend themselves against
competition at home. 1t was per
fectly apparent that under the broad
wings of high protection and fattened
by unearned accumulation they could
complacently close their ears to-, the
troublesome cry for easier living from
the everyday consumer.
'The present tariff conditions have
assumed a complexion which not only
requires a check of its aggressive
ness, but actual amendment, is at
last admitted among those response
BILE for these conditions. Such a
concession was made when dozen
or more reciprocity treaties were SUBJ
mitted to the Senate, but the sincerity
of the concession aud the honest inten-
intention to surrender the least adYan-
tsge as long as it canbe held is empha-
tically disproved by the fact that ses-
sion after session of the Senate has
passed without taking the least &C:
tion on these treaties.
II need hardly refer to the preva:
lence just at this time among the
supporters of high protection Of dec
larations and professions in favor of
tariff readjustment. We hear of it
on every side. What does it meanS
1t means that they see the handwrit-
ing on the wall as they have never
seen it before. Does it mean that
they are sincerely willing to do some
thing for the people, as against old
comrades who have heretofore paid
we'll for the neglect of the people?
"How can we believe ibis when we
see still pardaded up and down be-
fore our sight the hoary headed,
bloated and malodorous old fraud
and pretence that the tariff should
be revised by its friends? What
! have these friends of the tariff done
that they should again be trusted?
They have quieted the peoples fears

welfare and promised to lead them

POA AOuAlUy'
"Sooner than they had the least
reason to expect the friends of the
tariff or, in other words, those who
sought to. grow rich with govern
ment help at the expense of the peo-
pie, with their aides and abettors,
had turned over to them the work OF
again adjusting tariff rates. How
did they approach the tsskS
Was it with q patriotic inten-
tion to benefit the masses of our peo-
pie and make their burdens lighter
This they would hardly declare with
out sly wink. Was it even with
the fear of the people before their
eyes? Surely nothing indicates it.
Their work was undertaken as they
would have entered upon a privilege
to make the most of it. [ have
heard it said upon excellent authority
that expectant benefciaries under
the existing tariff laWs-by its friends
were actually allowed to construct
the schedule by which they expected
to profit. This was quite in keeping
with the color and complexion of the
entire scheme. Evidence sbounds in
and about it indicating that the wei
fare and interests of the common
people of our land we're not allowed
to disturb in any unpleasant degree
the serenity of those having the work
in hand. believe this last exploit
of the so called friends of the tariff
in its revision should amply satisfy
any thoughtful citizen, unbiased by
interest that the spirit of high pro-
tective tariff grows by indulgence
and mocks what it feeds upon, and
that it's progressive greed and ruth
lessness is becoming more and more
a menace to the welfare and happi
ness of our people. How long has 1t
been thought decent or even safe to
cheat the consumers of coal by put
ting it on the free list, but dishonest
ly providing for its custom taxation
in another cunningly constructed
provision of the law? How recently
have the friends Of the tariff had the
boldness to perpetrate such a trick
and take the chances of facing the
people, when in the painful stress of
q Threatened coal famine, it should
be exposed?
81 have called your attention to
the fact that IN 1887 competition,
which, if unrestricted, might modify
the effect upon our consumers of a
high protective tariff, was spoken of

| will permit me to add one further
quotatisn from the same message, as
follows: -. a.,
SIN speaking of the increased cost
to the consumer of our home manu-
| factures, resulting from duty laid
upon imported articles of the same
description, the fact is not sover-
looked that competition among our
domestic producers sometimes has
the effect of keeping the price of
their products below the highest
limit allowed by such duty. BIT it
is notorious that this competition is
too often strangled by combinations
quite prevalent at this time and fre-
quently called trusts, which have
for their object the regulation of the
supply and price of commodities
made and sold by members of the
combination. The people can hard
~ hope for any consideration in the
operation of their selfish schemes"
"Less than year after this an
nouncement Of Democratic doctrine
it was made a target for all sorts Of
attack in Presidential election. The
timid were assured that absolute free
trade would follow Democratic sue
cess; that the importers paid the Gus
tom duties, and above all that if any
revision or change was expedient it
should be entrusted to the friends of
the tariff. The people were per-
suaded to continue these friends in
political control and they forthwith
contracted q new scheme of high
protection. The bill then passed
was so full of denominations and so
plaiEly showed the heedlessness Of
it's authors and bene6ciaries and
their disregard of the interests of
the people that the voters of the
land, though accustomed to yielding
to tariff delusion, were prompt
in their revenge and condemna-
tion.
''It might naturally be supposed
that 80 violent a blow as was then
given would admonish, if it did not
reform, the supporter of selfish tariff
benefits. This, however, was by no
means IN accord with their natures
nor in agreement with their macbin-
stions: They sullenly surrendered
control of governmental policies and
laid in wait for their opportunity.
The lamentable conditions which
quickly gave this opportunity are
familiar to you sll. l am not here
to speak of Democratic misfortunes
or miscarriage, but to call attention
to the unyielding tenacity of high
tariff rapacity and arrogance and to
the manner in which they grow and
develop whenever they have an op
