The Consumer Betrayed.

The price of wheat having
been forced up abnormally high
in Chicago, flour and bread have
followed. Another sharp adj
vance in the price of beef by

price of mutton has been rails
ed, also If poultry.
Senator Aldrlch is now conf
dent that with the help of dem
ocratic votes the sugar duties
will be preserved intact in the
pending tariff bill. In vain the
consumer begs for relief. Sena-
tors with sugar interests as po-
litical clients have the effronte-
ry to declare publicaly that on
ly Wall street has asked for
lower duties. The poor mans
breakfast table is to be inordi-
nantly taxed for still another
indefinite term of years to swell
the sugar trust, a confessed
criminal.
Where in the senate tariff bill
Il t
is there a single item that is de-
signed to reduce the cost Of liv-
ing? In what single instance
has Senator Aldrich sought to
make cheaper the necessaries Of
life? Where has a single duty
been honestly lowered for the
the benefit of the consumer?
Rents, clothing, food, may in
crease steadily, but Senator Al
drich and his protectionist col
leagues stand pat for privilege
and extortion.

CHILD HIT BY
AUTOMOBILE
Youngster Chasing Ball
Comes Into Contact With
Mud Guard of Car.
DRIVEN BY ANTON MILLER

Thorvald Borup, the seven-year-
old-son of Chris Borup, an express
man, of 129 Fayette street, was
knocked down by Winton automo-
bile driven by Anton Miller, at State
street and New Brunswick avenue,
about 1880 o'clock this afternoon.
The child's face was bruised and
swelled as a result Of striking the
brick pavement.
A hurried examination by DR.. M.
s. Meinzer Immediately after the ac-
cident, revealed the fact that no
bones were broken, although there
may be internal injuries. One of
his legs is somewhat bruised.
The boy was taken to his home
and attended there by DR.. G. w.
Tyrrell. A crowd collected at the
scene of the accident and followed
the auto containing the injured boy
to DIR. Meinzer's office. Another
swarm collected in front OF the Bor-
up home. The lad kept crying con-
tinually for long time after the
accident and did not answer ques-
tions put to him by his parents.
The mishap occurred as Miller, ac-
cording to eye-witnesses, was driv-
ing the auto at the rate of about
six miles an hour, from State street
across New Brunswick avenue into
Smith street Young Borup and an
other boy were playing ball. The
ball rolled to a point near the inter-
section of the three thoroughfares,
and the lad went after 1t. Borup
ran out and then back quickly, and
ran into the right mud-guard of the
car, which belongs to Rippen Broth
ers.
Upon a thorough examination at
the boys home, DR.. Tyrrell discov-
cred that three teeth were knocked
loose, that the upper lip was badly
cut and swollen and the right knee
skinned and the right ankle badly
bruised.

Patrolman Lybeck was on the
scene but made no arrests. The troll
l.y car was bound westward on
Smith street, and the motorman did
not know that an automobile was
coming up Prospect street from Mar
ket street. The chauffeur, as soon
as he saw the search light Of the
car, tried to turn the corner, but
was going so fast that he had to
cross tfe tracks at an angle. The
motorman of the trolley put on the
brakes, but could not avert the col
lision. The car struck the rear Of
the machine and sent 1t fully forty
feet to the curb.
Several accidents have occurred at
the same corner between trolleys and
: autos, as many motorists use Pros
pect street as cut from New
Brunswick avenue to the county
bridge.
