LOW TARIFF HURTS BUSINESS

War in Europe has once more rescued
this country from the crushing effects
of low Tariff law. But for nearly a
year we had evidence of what the effects
of that law would be. Total imports of
mercandise increasing by a hundreds
millions, our exports decreasing to an
even more alarming amount, millions of
men and women out of work, breadlines
in all of the large cities, barges, wharves
and empty buildings used to house the
unemployed, failures multiplying and
mills and factories shutting down-such
was the record of year of the Under
wood-Simmons Tariff, and only the
European war saved the country from
more frightful disaster.
But the war will end some day and
then the story of the fifties will be re-
peated; imports on an enormous scale
will be resumed and "the ruin of home
manufacture" again consummated.
Nothing Will save The country but re-
enactment of Protective Tariff. Twice
before the gains which had been made
while war lasted were lost through the
operation of a low Tariff, when peace
came. Twice at the end of war the
Civil War and the Spanish War a
period of unbounded prosperity was en-
joyed by this country because the up
building of our industries was safe
guarded by Protective Tariff.
To have prosperity return, the unem-
ployed once more given work, factories
and mills resume at full time and good
wages and the business of the country
to rise from depression and despair, a
Tariff act that will prevent the ruinous
competition of foreign countries, deter
mined to recover "their place in the
sun" must once more become the law of
the land.
Without such law, safeguarding the
industries of the nation, the present
promise of better times is a vain and
transitory illusion. Portland (He.) Ex-
press and Advertiser.

RAIN CAUSES BIG LOSS

Overabundance of rain is causing
much concern to Sussex County farmers
who are now more worried over the wet
weather and the threatened rotting of
truck and fruit crops than they were by
the long drouth earlier in the spring.
Thousands of dollars have been lost this
week to the growers of strawberries,
but they are still hopeful that the main
crop, the CANDY, will be saved if any
dependence is to be put in the weather
forecasts, which promise fair and warm
weather for the next few days. A large
acrege of white potatoes have been
planted, and are said to be threatened
with the dreaded cool and wet weather.
The cut worm has played havoc with
tomatoto and cantaloupe plants, and in
many instances growers will be COM
PEELED to replant their entire patches,
This week the pea canneries have only
worked part of several days, the far
mers being unable to cut and haul the
peas to the factories,

A Year Without a Summer

The year 1876 was known throughout
the United States as the year without
summer January of that year was so
mild that most people would have let
their furnace fires go out had they
possessed any, and February was only
occasionally colder. March and April
coaxed the buds and flowers out, and
May was winter month, with ice and
snow. By the end of May everything
perishable had been killed by the cold,
and the young leaves had been stripped
from the trees. June was as cold as
May. Both snow and ice were common
throughout the month all over the scorn
belt, and after having planted CORN two
or three times the farmers threw up
their hands. Snow fell ten inches deep
in Vermont The following winter was
the hardest the people of the United
States have ever known. One had to
have stockade around their smoke
house.

Delaware lasted as late as October 5th.
Talking of late shipments and illus
trating what New York in those early
days was willing to pay for anything
that suited its fancy, can be cited the
fact that Ex-Governor Cochran of Della
ware-who died when he was ninety-two
years old-shipped carload of Crockett
Whites in either 1867 or 1868 to the New
York market. There were 525 baskets
in the car, anc the shipment was made
either the end of September or the first
of October. The 525 baskets sold for
$5 basket straight. Think of that.
At that time New York had craze for
white peaches for putting up in brandy.
The Crockett White was a clean, clear,
white peach. A few years later, how
ever, they smutted and specked up and
the variety could not sell at Soc bas-
ket, and the trees had to be rooted up.
Mr. Cochran credits Major Reybold
with putting out the first peaches known
in the United States at Delaware City,
although he does not recall the year in
which the Major first started his
peaches. He does recall however, that
about 1855 Najor Reybold brought about
5000 or 1900 baskets of his delicious
peaches up to New York by boat. They
were the only peaches in New York,
but at that time New York was not
educated to the peach and hardly knew
how to eat them. The Major could not
get an offer of over 10 to 12c for his
baskets of beautiful fruit, and thor
oughly disgusted, he dumped the entire
lot into the North River and never did
come back-N. Y Fnaman's Guide.

Commission May Vote to Reject Them State Aid
 To Be Asked?

All bids submitted on the propos- ed new Stratford avenue bridge ap- pear to be in excess of the appropria- ton. even providing the Connecticut Co. should agree to pay $1OO,OO0 to- ward the cost, which is unlikely. On the face of the figures as read when bids were opened in the common council chamber today the Empire Construction Go. of New York, ap- pears to be the lowest bidder. Their figures are only trif1e lower than their bid of several weeks ago. The McHarg-Barton Go. and the Founda- ton Co. of New York, both of whom bid last time did not offer bids this time. Three new firms, the Penn Bridge Co., of Beaver Falls, Pa, H. P. Converse Go. of Boston, and the Wang Construction Go. of Cumberland, Md, offered bids today.
 To the surprise of everyone the Holbrook Cabot & Rollins Corp, of Boston did not offer a bid on the com p1ete structure although it has been rumored that agents of this company had been in Bridgeport for a long time and that the concern would have a very low bid. This concern bid low on the sub-structure but it's bids on approaches, etc, were much higher than other bidders

There are straws in the wind which indicate that what are designated as proper peace overtures'' on the part of Ger many would meet with consideration. However, the general public not so well informed as is the government, probably would regard such overtures as premature.

NEGROES REFUTE CONVERSION OF
 SHAVING DOCTOR

Providence, R. l., Sept. A denial that they had confessed to the murder of Dr. c. Franklin Mohr was made to The Associated Press by George w. HeaIis, Henry Spel1naan and C. Victor Brown, the negroes who, according to the police had previously declared that they killed the physician at the insti- gation of Mrs. Mohr.
 Prosecuting officials said today that. the only way in which the negroes confessions could be excluded as evil denec would be upon proof by the de- fense that they were extortea undEs duress or by holding out some promise of reward or hope of immunity to the person making the confession. It was declared by Chief Inspector O'Nei1 of the local police that the confessions were made voluntarily and without in ducements of any kind.
 The written contest ons were ob- tained before the widows arrest and the prosecutors admit cannot. be used against her, but the, oral confessions were made in her presence, according to O'Neil and even if the negroes should repudiate them, testimony of witnesses who heard them confess would be admissible.
