TIE RIVERS RAGE.
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE MADE
HOMELESS BY FLOODS.
ALONG THE OHIO RIVER
SUFFER-.

Cincinnati, O.-With the river flood
a reality in a region extending a
distance of more than 400 miles, thou
sands of persons are suffering for
necessities and thousands more are
homeless. All indications point to at
least 65 feet in this city, making this
the greatest flood since February, 1884.
The city authorities on Thursday
began to care for persons who have
been made homeless or are otherwise
suffering.
School buildings and churches in
the East End have been opened as
temporary dwellings for the homeless.
About 1000 residents of Turkey
Ridge, in the East End, have been iso-
lated by the flood.
In Newport, KY, the flood area
covers eight blocks and 800 families
have been compelled to vacate their
homes. Much damage is being done
In Covington to residences and bust
ness houses along the river front.
Pittsburg, Pa. Eight dynamite
blasts having failed to break the Allie
gheny river dam at Springdale, where
the swirling current has already swept
away ten houses and several buildings
of the Heidenkamp mirror works, one
more attempt will be made to-day and
if that fails a diver will be employed
to undertake the hazardous task of
placing ton of dynamite directly IN
der the concrete wall OF the dam.
Dispatches received from points in
West Virginia report that the Ohio
river is rising rapidly. At New Mar
tinsville, W. Va. the West Virginia
Short Line railroad is tied up by high
water and landslides. At Clarksburg,
w. Va, the West Fork river has reach
ed the danger mark and no trains can
be operated on the West Virginia &

The Sellers Ontion

After reference to our foreign
trade for October, the New York
Times says:
The significance of these figures to
our foreign friends lies in the fact
that while we have almost doubled our
excess of exports of merchandise, we
have exercised the sellers option to
take our balance in gold, and with
something over to show that we were
merely taking our own. This year
shows an excess of imports of gold of
S9G,1 15S ,01S."
Is it not time for the economist of
the New York Journal of Commerce
to sit up and take notice? He does
not, or at least until the American
Economist showed him the fallacy
of his views did not, think gold is used
to settle balances of trade
1t is not to be doubted that our abil.
ity to demand nearly $100,0O0,O0O in
gold, in payment for merchandise ex.
ported, is the cause of the present
difficulty in the London money mar.
ket, difficulty which would be inten.
sified by continued demand. Nor
will any one claim that the present
demand for productive labor is not
in part due to the presence of that
gold which our favorable balance of
trade enables us 10 obtain.
Free trade, however, will snarl that
part of this favorable balance of trade
is due to our selling to foreigners at
less price than American consumers
are charged. AS if we could sell any.
thing to foreigners without employing
American labor.

sages received at the station

New York.-According to informa-

Kingston horror is growing. Com.
munication with the island is partially
restored, and every message that
comes brings details of an appalling

The number of dead is placed vari.

Ten thousand persons are said to be
homeless.

One Year of a Tariff Let Alone.

There is no argument for tariff re-
vision downward in the foreign trade
statistics. During the II months
ending with November we imported
articles to the value of 81 ,2S7, ,17S,924,
or S100,000,000 more than for the cor
responding period last year. In the
same IL months our exports to-
tailed $1,S07 ,432, ,O75, this being $780,
100000 more than we exported in the
preceding IL months. The excess of
exports over imports amounts to $780,
253, ISL, gain of more than S123,000,-
900 over the previous year. Perhaps
some ardent tariff revisionist will ex-
plain how this splendid showing could
have been improved by downward
revision.

HAS ITS ADVANTAGES,
Selling broad Cheaper Than at
Home.

The grange, at a meeting in Den
yer, adopted resolutions against a
tariff which allows a manufactures
to sell goods at home at higher rates
than he can get abroad for his wares.
This resolution, while apparently rea-
sonable, is not logical. There will,
of course, always be room for hon
est differences of opinion in regard
to a tariff question. Yet a tariff
which allows manufacturer to sell
at home at certain price and sell
| abroad at less price, has its advan.
tages.
A manufacturer of hats, for in
stance, might turn out product and
sell it in this country at a fair mar
gin of profit. The tariff protects him
and allows him to make a profit.
to compete with the cheaper labor
of other countries.
Now, in supplying the home mar
ket he gives work to a certain num-
ber of men, and no more. Without
extra markets he cannot employ
extra men.
In foreign country the price on
his product, due to lower wages paid
in "a foreign land, is lower than he
gets here. He cannot send hats to
that country and sell them at the
prices prevalent there. He cannot
make profit, because of the high
wages he pays, by selling them for
less.
But he can sell them in a foreign
land at, for example, the very bed
rock cost price. This competcs with
foreign manufacturers in lands where
no tariff protects them.
BY selling over there at cost, he
gets an added market He must pro-
duce more hats. He must hire more
men. And so, though making little
or no profit out of the venture, he is
acting as a middleman between for
eign hat buyers and local hat buyers,
and is giving employment to Amer
leans that they could not have other
wise secured, bringing money into
American circulation that would not
otherwise have been brought here
He makes his living off the prod

sonable profit. He makes the living

Canada's "Intermediate" Tariff

Canada's industrial interests have
begun to take alarm at the "intermedi-
ate" tariff in the new schedules. They
are wondering how they will ever
know what their tariff protection is
going to be when by the stroke of a
ministerial pen the lower "intermedi-
ate rate of duties can be put into
effect on competitive manufacturers.
They are certain to discover the mon
strous injustice and the injury to in
dustrial production that are involved
in the set of schedules arranged for
reciprocity" purposes. The British
preferential, based upon patriotic con-
siderations, is bad enough, but when
it comes to doing business under a
dickering tariff that for trading mr.
poses may be cut even lower than the
British preferential they will learn
how utterly pernicious and inexcusa-
BILE the scheme of tariff hocus pocus
for reciprocity really is.
