FINAL ARGUMENTS.
Made In Case Of Earl Carpenter & Sars
Ice Co. vs.. Consolidated Railroad.

Final arguments were made to the jury
in Judge Johnson's court this afternoon
by counsel in the $4,000 suit brought by
Earl Carpenter & Sons Ice company vs.
New York. New Haven & Hartford Rail-
road company. During the trial the de-
fendant askec for a non-suit on three
grounds First. because II did not APP
pear from the declaration that the defend
ant was operating railroad at the place
In question. Second, because the amend
ed charter Of 1s47 does not specifically
state. as did the charter of 1896 the liabil-
ity OF the railroad for fires originating
from sparks thrown from engines Third,
because the suit should not have been
brought I'm the name OF the plaintiff but
in its name as trustees for the insurance
company. which paid the insurance on the
houses and the ice.
The petition for a non-suit was over
ruled.

TO DISCUSS
MATTER OF
SECESSION
PaWtuckst Mu|sspinners May
Leave tho National
Body.

Next Wednesday evening az Pawtucket
there Is 10 be a meeting OF the Mule Spin
ners' union, at which time there will lie
some OF the llyeliest action and debates
that that body has seen In some time.
The question OF whether the Rhode Island
Association OF Mule Spinners shall seceds
from the national body viii be one Of the
most important portions OF the debate.
The question OF Withdrawing from the
national body was voted submitted 10 the
general meeting next week.
The sentiment favoring this action is
the result OF some differences arising be-
tween number of members OF the Rhode
Island association and the national body,
and indirectly the United Textile Workers
OF America, originating In the recent
strike at Manvile which was ordered liy
the Rhode Island association under the
sanction of both bodies. The Manville
strike continued ls weeks. and the action
OF declaring Il off involved the association
in controversy with the national body.
Some OF the officers OF the Rhode ISL
and association are also officers in both
the National association and the United
Textile Workers, fact which has some
influence I'm the calling OF the strike.
The end OF the strike found the ma
tional body I'm debt to the Rhode Island
Muespinners' association TO the extent
OF some 1890, which is said 10 be still
due. owing to hitch in the negotia tions
between the state and national bodies.
There appears to have been an arrange
ment whereby the United Textile Work
ers were looked 10 for this amount
claimed To be due. and IL is stated that
this organization secured an appropria-
tIon from the American Federation OF
Labor to defray the expenses Of the
Manville and Lowell strikes amounting
to about sl110. IT is claimed that neither
the local nor the Lowell spinners realized
anything from the appropriation.
The members of the Rhode Island as
sociation, who favor Withdrawing from
the national body. are basing their rea-
sons principally on the action In increas-
ing the per capita tax 100 per cent. They
have voted not to pay II, and are of the
opinion that in the light OF recent events
they will be as well able to run their as
ISOLATION separate from the national
body. as they will be IL obliged TO con-
I, ibute TO the support OF national offi-
GERS OF the mulespinners and textile
workers as well
1he call for the general meeting next
Wednesday evening. which was author
lied by the executive council last even
ing, will contain notice OF the motion
10 secede. II is stated that the require
me nts OF the constitution have been
complied with, a notice I'm writing of the
intention OF member 10 move the ques-
ton being I'm the hands OF the president
OF the association.

FINANCIAL NEWS.

Lewis n. Tappan & Co. in their week
ly stock letter say,
Professional operations have almost
entirely dominated the market for the
past week. The rally beginning on We'd
nesday without doubt had its origin in
the excessive short interest which had
grown TO large proportion. That there is
very little long stock being pressed for
sale is noticed by the floor brokers II
is the opinion of come of the most COM
petent observers that the market II In
the position to he advanced very sharply
IL only some big people would take II I'm
hand There seems TO be but very httle
doubt but what the public would come
into the market on any such encourage
ment, and this encours cement Is apt to
occur at any time.
The most encouraging feature in the
financial world Is the relief from strin-
gent money. which has been very keenly
felt throughout the whole country. With
gold imports Of some magnitude and the
beginning OF the return movement of
money from the West II will not be long
before money will again be plentiful.
And II is to be borne I'm mind that much
more cash was sent West this year than
was sent a year ago.
We believe that a turning point has al
ready been reached in money and with
it's return II will make itself felt In prices
of listed securities. Few people who
have not actually required money have
realized how difficult 1t was TO borrow
during the past six months. Under this
condition prices could not be expected to
advance materially.
The railroads continue TO show magni-
icent earnings Notwithstanding heavy
az increased wages, and with the fact
or good crops and an outlook for easier
money, there can be but little question
OF the permanency OF these dividends.

IN PRISON
23 WEEKS
FOR POLL TAX

Because he did not pay his poll tax AZ
Pawtucket John Barden sent To
prison. and there he has remained for 25
weeks. the city OF Pawtucket paying for
his board there regularly.
Mr. Barden has evidently become tired
Of his somewhat confined quarters. ana
has written a letter to Governor t. T. c.
Garvin. asking him TO help him out OF
prison
In the letter Mr.. Barden says that he
has been there q weeks because he lid
not pay his poll tax. and the collectors
fee. having neglected 10 pay-on time. He
says he thinks It's pretty funny law
that will keep him there all this time
as he hasn't got q cent. He also ex-
presses some curiosity TO know n he is
to be kept there for life.
The state executive Is somewhat at loss
just what course 10 pursue. He said to-
day: II don't see that anything can DO
done about II by me. The general as
semby when IL meets can let him out,
but do not see that can.
1T does seem rather hard 70 keep him
there when so many thousafds who do
not pay their tax are at liberty.
He SAYS IN his letter that he wanted
them 10 60 with him to get the money.
but they would not OF course I don't
know how that ws~. but IL does seem
rather hard
''If the city of Pawtucket should stop
paying his board the authorities al tho
prison would turn him out. they inform
me and the matter would be settled at
once. The Pawtucket authorities I am
told have considered the matter and
find that they have no right TO stop
paying tho board under the law.
The only way TO get him out that I can
see = for some one TO pay the tax and
pay the costs and probably for the board
for the q weeks"
The governor has the matter under ad
visement. but " s very doubtful N he
finds he can do anything for Mr.. Rsrdsp

LET THE PEOPLE SAY.
WHEN TARIFF REVISION SHALL
BE UNDERTAKEN.
Senator Hosr Urges That Changes In
Our Protective System Be Not Made
Until the People Shall Have Passed
Upon the Question at the Polls.

Senator Hoar dropped some pearls
of wisdom and sound policy In hi'
speech at the dinner of the Essex clut
on the 10th Of September. "Ths
Grand Old Man" Of Massachusetts was
easily the star among the speakers
He usually Is in any company He
talked about the tariff, about foreign
trade and about reciprocity, and 1t was
clear Drained, wholesome talk, that
was alike timely and pertinent. Tariff
revision, he said, might become neces-
sary, just as 1t is necessary to some
times revise the statutes Of Massachu-
setts; "but," said the wise statesman
and profound economist, you cannot
be doing it all the time, because,
whenever you are doing it business \,
thrown into confusion and uncertain
ty." In the course of time, he added
and no protectionist disputes this
changes may be required in the most
satisfactory and the most scientific
tariff schedules, but the time to make
such changes, he insisted, was not in
the year before presidential election,
but after presidential election, when
the changes can be made in accord
with the instructions Of the people.
Note the qualification: Tariff changes
should only be made in obedience to
the expressed will Of the people. The
Dingley law, having been enacted in
response to the demand of the sover-
eign people, may not and must not be
changed in any essential particular
Until the people shall have declared |
.hei- wishes through the ballot box,
That Is the thought which the Ameri-
an Economist has again and again
Urged as the guiding principle in all
ariff changes, whether by legislation

tains. 1t should be the uniform
thought and doctrine of the Republi
can party.
As to the much talked about and
little understood question Of reciproc
ity as means of promoting foreign
trade the venerable statesman was
equally clear and pointed when he
sala.
Everybody is in favor Of reciproc-
ity and everybody is in favor of for
elgn trade. We wish to sell every
thing we can sell to foreign countries
and to buy from foreign countries
everything that 1t is for the interest
OF the whole people that we should
buy rather than make ourselves.
That Is the question. Reciprocity
begins and ends right there, If 1t be-
gins at all under and in accordance
with the principles Of protection to
domestic labor and industry, What is
we should stop making in order that
we should stop making in order .lat
foreigners may make and sell it to us?
What industry or group Of industries
shall we wipe out Of existence, dis
placing American employment, Ameri.
can labor and American wage paying?
1t is a hard question and one that de-
mands an answer. No advocate of reci-
procity in competing products has
ever answered it; none ever will an
swer 1t except he answer 1t as free
trader namely: mo mater what In
iustry or group Of industries shall be
annihilated. Let us have more for
,ign trade at any cost to domestic
abor and wages" N.
That Is not the answer Of protec-
ionists, and 1t should not be- the
lnswer Of any Republican. It is not
senator Hoar's answer, This Is what
e said at the Essex Club dinner;
"Do you wish to buy Of Canada any
hing we can make better ourselves? /
10 you want to strike down one :
.merican manufacture for the benefit /
another? Or dosyou want to estab- I
sh the reciprocity that Blaine favor +
d: Sell to Canada everything that i
o have got to sell that she does not 4
roduce, and buy Of Canada every.
ling that she has got to sell that we
, not produce"
That Is Blaine reciprocity, Republi- $
