A FEW THOUGHTS FOR CONSIDER.
ALTON,

In his address at Guthrie Center yes
terday Hon j. L. Webster, of Nebras--
ka, draws some lessons from recent
speeches of Joseph Chamberlain in his
fiscal campaign that have special sig
nificance. for the voter of the United
States and Iowa. For more than half
century England has been conduct
ing its affairs under the free trade or
tariff for revenue policy, which the
democrats of Iowa and the entire ma
ton are urging the voters to accept for
the United States. Mr. Webster calls
attention to the words of Mr.. Chamber
lain as to the conditions existing in
England under this policy. Mr.. Cham
berlain says:
1--WE are sending less and less of our
manufactures abroad, while the pro-
tected countries are sending more and
more of their manufactures here
Thus our manufactured exports from
$780, 900 in 1872, have dwindled to
$3.50 100000 in 1902, to the protected
countries of Europe and the United
States"
In the same address Mr. Chamber
lain showed that the imports to Eng
iuhh II Jill OlliSl CUuIIIlCS Hdu TlS0u
from $315, 100000 in 1872 to $S45 .00O,-
600 in 1902. Surely from these figures
Mr.. Chamberlain was justified in pro-
claiming that he saw signs of decay in
the United Kingdom as the result of
the operation of the free trade policy
American citizens and voters, who are
now enjoying the greatest prosperity
that has ever been experienced in this
country should ponder carefully these
results and think well whether or not
they desire to inaugurate policy in
this country which promises such re-
suits.
The republican protective system
has made the United States the first
of all nations as a manufacturer. 1t
has given to all industries and business
a domestic market, the best in the
world, which consumes about 95 per
cent of the output of all our mills. 1t
has given the workingmen of the coun-
try employment at good wages 1t has
created market for the products of
our farmers. all this and more it has
done for the people of this country and
their own interest would naturally lead
them to advocate against the abandon
ment of this policy
Mr.. Webster paid some attention to
the charge of the democratic party that
the republican protective system "fos-
ters monopolies and is the father of
trusts" He showed that this conten-
tion was entirely groundless and that
to the republican party must be given
the credit for installing all the laws
now on the national statute books for
their regulation and the elimination of
their evils.

ARTISANS AND THE TARIFF.

OF all people, those who depend on
their handicraft for livelihood should
be the most loyal supporters of the
policy of protection. This has always
been the contention of protection
leaders in the United States, though
the success of this policy has been due
to the support given it by the Ameri-
can farmer and business men. Now
that tariff campaign is on in Eng
land this phase of the question is not
being forgotten.
The London Daily Telegraph of
August 4. 1908, gave an illustration of
the effect of free trade on labor, that
should receive the careful attention
of all American artisans, that they
may more fully realize some of the
benefits accruing to them from the
operation of the American policy.
Under the free trade policy of Great
Britain there was decrease in twelve
years of over 7S6O0, 600 in the value of

NOT BECAUSE OF THEIR MONEY.
Why the Palm Limited Ran Back for Mrs.
Vanderbilt and Party.

Columbia, S. 9. "A great deal
Of comment has been made in the
newspapers over the fact that 80 i'm
portant train as the Southern Palm
Limited should have been turned
back twenty lwo miles in order to
take aboard Mrs Cornelius Wander
bilt and party of friends They
were at the station ready to take the
train at Pineland, but it went on,
being finally stopped at Hardeevllle
and brought back for the party.
The circumstances has been tele
graphed all over the country and the
impression seems to have gotten out
that the Southern turned it's train
back simply because these people
arc millionaIres and persons of in
tlnence. This is not the case, as has
been learned here. 1t seems that
Pineland has been 'bul!etined," as
they say in railroad circles, "a a flag
station to atop this train. The en-.
gineer had overlooked that fact, it
being one Of no grosi importance in
view Of the fact that PineInnd is
side track ont in the woods.
However, being such station,
passengers had II perfect right to
board the train at that place. When
the Palm Limited hove in sigh! it
was tagged, but the engineer, not
having noticed that it had been made
a stop station, went on by. An at.
tempt WAS made to stop the train at
tho next station, known as Tilman,
but the operator for some reGn~n
failed to do 80
When the train got to HardeeviIle
| the club car was detached and vas
| run back for the party. 1t WAS
| stated by ono familiar with rai)r, ad
rules and laws that this had to be
done or the company would have
been liable for damages 1t was
further atatoi that if Il negro had lie,
sired to go on the tram under siin-
lar circumstances that it would have
| been necessary to go back for him if
a suit OF damages WAS to be b oded.
The railroad, therefore, holds that it
did not send back tho train becnuse
the would-be passengers were mil
lionairea, but that it was done for the
protection Of the rond.
AS people all over the country
have been wondering at the cause of
the tram going back, these facts are
stated aa matters of interest.

thrlved. He conld make big money
by representing different corpora
tlons, provided he had influence and
possessed aptitude for the work.
FuSthermore tho system Of keeping
books on the statesmen who have to
receive help occasionally from the
big railroads apd other corporations
is efficacious. A record is kept, for
instance, of the tickets issued to carry
workers to Bill Smiths Congressional
convention in Squedunk County.
In days gone by Bill Smith was apt
to forget these favors after election
time. Now he will find the figures
about those favors staring him in the
face in Washington when the big
corporations want favor from him.

MANY DROWNED IN CHOWAN RIVER
Passenger Steamer Olive Wrecked by a
Cyclone and Eighteen
Lives Lost.

Norfolk, Va, Feb. 17.-A cyclone
struck the passenger steamer Olive
which lies between Franklin, Va,
and Edenton, N. c.. at $3.50 o'clock
last night and sent her to the bot.
tom Of the river off Wooley's Pier,
between Mount Pleasant and Oliver's
wharf.
The whirlwind when it struck the
Olive caused her to go over on her
beams end and when she righted it
was only to sink on account of the
water she had taken. A majority of
the passeDgeas and crew we're below
at the time and had no opportunity
to reach the pilot house of the vessel.
This point was the only portion left
above water and in it standing waist
deep from the time Of the accident
until & o'clock in the morning Capt.
George H. Witty and five others
were saved.
According to the statement of
Capt. Witty to The Associated Press
correspondent here tonight II per
sons are known to have been lost on
the sinking steamer and lifeboat
loaded with Engineer G. l.. Conway,
Assistant Engineer j. p. Murphy,
Purser j. N. Bell, one white and two
