Trade Unionists and Protection

The Trades Union congress of Great
Britain resolved yesterday by, almost
unanimous vote against protection and
in favor of free trade. They argue that
the burdens of protection would
press more heavily on the working
classes than on any other by increasing
the cost of the necessaries of life;s that
the protective principle is unsound and
unjust economically, "subsidizing capt.
tai at. the expense, Of fabor.' They op-
pose it also as system Of preference
or retaliation, creating disputes with
other nations and a hindrance to inter
national good will and peace. : - k
No. doubt. this action: Of the British
workingmen will be made much of by
the democrats and other free traders in
this country, but the most interesting
phase of the matter IL its bearing upon
the Chamberlain protection or imperial
preference scheme. If this Trades I'm
ion congress is as important a body as
it's name would indicate it's declaration
against protection is indicative Of a
strong sentiment among the trades un-
ionists in whose behalf Mr. Chamberlain
is pressing his protection policy.
The. fact should not be overlooked,
however, that this public utteFance is
not so very different from the attitude
and conduct of the trades unionists Of
this country. The very people in the
United States who, theoretically at
least, have most to,gain by:a reasonable
protective policy vand who. have I'm,
questionably profted greatly and are
profting now, have generally voted fol-
free trade. There is probably sless of
free=trade sentiment among the trades
unionists and working people generally
today than there was twelve OF fifteen
years ago. But it was this: vote, in
large measure at least, which turned out
the party of protection, in 1892 and in
stalled the party Of free trade; but the
consequences were 50 disastrous, and the
incident is SO recent that they have not
been altogether forgotten. =,

A man was arrested in California the
other day. for violating the game law.
He went TO the telephone and called up
the justice: Of the peace before whom he
would have been compelled to appear,
pleaded guilty to the charge, paid a fine
of $50 and was allowed to go. The arrest
was made 200 miles from the court in
which he pleaded guilty. This may look
like extending the arm Of justice and en-
forcing the penalty of the law over. a
wide range but, as matter of fact, this
was note4a fair proceeding, but a clear
discrimination in favor of the man who
could afford to pay the fine, and who
was glad to do it in order TO evade being
brought before the court and placed at

have imposed upon any man less literally
supplied with the means Of satisfying JUS
tice. This trial by telephone was plainly
a miscarriage of justice. T..

to be altogether upon the side of the re-
publicans, the vote = for secretary of

democrats base their expectations of

that $4,000. more votes were cast " for
sound money in 1900 than in 1896, and
5000 more votes were cast for a state
officer in 1902, with, no, gold issue at
stake, than were cast for Mckinley in
1900? The tendency does not seem to
be back toward the democratic party
on the. part Of the Independent vote, at
least, not2enough to. justify much conf

MANY DROWNED IN CUBA.
Recent Fall of Fourteen Inches of Rain
Has Been Disastrous.

Santiago de Cuba, June 17.-The re-
cent fall of IA inches of rain in five
hours, accompanied by a hurricane,
has resulted in the death of more than
a hundred persons. The most severe
loss was at the village of Ell Cobre,
where about sixty persons were
drowned. The river rose instantly,
destroying the lower part of the vii
lage. Bodies were carried eight miles
to the bay. Thirty bodies were re-
covered
Six persons we're drowned at Bal
quiri. fourteen at FL Caney and many
in the surrounding country. The list
is still incomplete. All the bridges at
El Cobre, several at Daiquiri and four
of the Central railroad, and miles of
track have been destroyed.
In the wreck of the relief train at
Moron two employees were killed, but
all the passengers are safe. No trains
arrived here from Saturday to Thurs
day, and all the telegraph lines and
cables. are interrupted One hundred
and fifty houses were destroyed or
damaged here, and five persons lost
their lives.
In and about this city the property
loss is enormous, at the mines, cattle
and merchandise.

a piece of her clothing about It, and
sick and frightened as she was, looked
about for a way to escape. There was
none. 1t took only a moment for her
to realize this. Then she climbed on the
railing and leaped cut into the water"
Continuing, Corcoran said:
THE first engineer Conklin. was not at
his post at the time of the fire. He
was one Of the very first to leave the
boat. Conklin did not get the soles of his
shoes wet, for he boardnd the first tug
that came alongside or anywhere near.

new light on the robbery. He declares
that while two men did the manual work

After the safe had been blown up and
the booty secured the two robbers rushed
the engineer and fireman down the track

Then Mr.. Annaweldt heard the tramp
