the shooting was done by Benz. John,

conversation on the streets.
Both Michael and John appeared
before Mayor Brasington Monday

church funds. Mayor Brasington
told them to present their creden-
tails to a Camden minister and if
fayorabiy passed upon, he would con-

clothing: in other words, it was a
prohibitive tariff. There was no use
for the foreigner trying to compete
in our market over such a barrier as
that. He could not pay the duty and
compete with tie American clothing
manufacturer. Under our rate he
will have chance to sell his foreign
made goods here, which will oblige
the American manufacturer to i'm
prove the quality of his goods and
lower the price.
And this does not mean only the
outser suit. Our bill makes tremen-
dous cuts in all products Of woollen
manufacture, such as underclothes,
stockings, sweaters, caps, hats,
gloves, overcoats, carpets and blan-
kets, not to mention all the other
necessaries of life which are made, or
should be made, out of wool.
Take blankets. for example,: The
rates in the present law allowed no
acknowledgement Woollen OIanheIs 10
come in from abroad. A few import
ations which were attempted proved
at the Custom House that the Repub-
lican duty on blankets was $50 per
cent: our bill makes the duty on
these blankets 25 per cent.
Very few Americans now sleep un-
der all-woollen blankets. Our people
have to shiver under blankets made
mostly OF cotton or other substitutes.
so that American manufacturers
might charge a higher price for WOOL
len blankets. Hereafter foreign
blankets can come in and give the
American consumer chance to pur-
chase the same kind of blankets as
the people of other lands can buy.

ton and flayed the saloon evil as it was
never before fiayed in the presence of
an Oakland audience. He did not heap
abuse upon the man who is unfortunate
enough to be addicted to the use of in
toxlcants, but struck home at the root
of the evil when he said the people, as
| the government, were wholly RESPONSE
BILE for the issuance of license giving
power to distillers to manufacture and
saloon keepers to sell intoxicants.
Mr.. Woolley in his address was DELHI

THIRD STREET BRIDGE
IS BEING REBUILT.
Structure Wrecked Several Weeks
Ago Is Under Construction BY B. & O.

The bridge spanning the tracks of the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad on Third
street, which was wrecked some weeks
ago when a train was derailed, carrying
down the structure, is being rebuilt by
the railway company. The new bridge
will be of wood and iron as contempla-
ted by the plans now in the hands of the
engineers in charge.
The new bridge will be elevated some
eighteen inches or more above the old
bridge, thus lessening the danger to the
employees of the company as trains pass
beneath it. In years gone by several
men have been killed at this point as a
result of being knocked from the top of
cars as trains were passing.
