War Helped Iron Industry.

Pig iron is the staff Of life Of the
American industrial system. If that
system is hale and hearty a plentiful
supply Of pig iron is prepared for its
daily meal. If that system is bilious
and anemic the purveyors Of pig iron
are the first to know about it, and the
supply is cut down.
During the first seven months Of
1913 business was prey to the doubt
and anxiety which invariably accom-
pany Democratic tariff wrecking. Con-
tracts were being postponed, mills
were stacking up, railroads were pass
ing the word alone the line, Hold up
on rail orders until we see where we
are at" Nevertheless, long period
under the protective tariff policy had
not spent its force. and during those
seven months We pre- duced of anthra-
cite and coke pig iron nearly 100000
tons. During the first seven months
of 1914 the country vas beginning to
tariff policy, the soup cart was trun-
led out. and every city had its thin
bread line. Anthra cite and coke pig
iron was produced during that period
to the amount Of about 100000 tons
a falling off of over 26 per cent. Pig
iron was one of the last industries to
show the effects of the European war
The depression in this industry was
carried forward into the first two
again began to pick up. carrying vast
cargoes to the seaboard, and deliver
ing huge quantities of raw materials
to mills engaged in supplying the
belligerents with munitions of war.
During the first seven months follow
ing the declaration c. war, August 1914
to February 1915, pig iron production
fell to 100000 tons. After that our
war order prosperity began to be felt
in this industry, and during the seven
months August 1915 to February 1916.
tho production of anthracite and coke
pig iron reached the unprecedented
amount Of 21,000,00o tons.
; 1t is prosperity such as this that the
Democratic administration hugs to its
bosom and calls it Mine" But the
: man who stops to consider that during
the 20 months of the European war,
from August 1914 to March 1916, the
balance of trade IN cur favor has been
$4,000 900, knows full we'll that this
prosperity is distilled from the blood
Of Europes slain and that the Demo-
bringing it about as one swa low is in
making a summer.

East Hebron grange held an all day
meeting at East Hebron Grange hall

ings. The afternoon program was as

test between the Brothers and Sisters.
The Brothers were conspicuous by their

Contradictions; anticipation; despera-
ton; victory. Thirty-one sisters took
part in these tableaux. The final Of

along the line of ''Co-operation" fol-
lowing the literary program.

not be surprised to see Kentucky take

said Congressman Caleb Powers of
that state, to a group Of friends at thu
capitol. mot only will we carry the
state for the national ticket, but we
will make a gain of at least one Con-
gressional district, making three in all.

Protection Sentiment Among Demo-
Gratis.

Gratis
It is evident that there is a wide
difference Of opinion among Democrats
upon the tariff question. W. ]. Bryan
!auds the Underwood Wilton tariff act
as the best this country has had in so
years. He is absolutely opposed to
any concessions to the protectionist
idea. His protege, Josephus Daniels.
secretary Of the navy. and heretofore
an ardent free trader, shows signs Of
becoming protectionist, for his lat
est issue Of the Raleigh News and
Observer" says that further laws may
be passed which will laid our people"
and give this country its needed reve-
nue..
aid our people" is another express
sion for a protective tariff. If q tariff
rate is not high enough to constitute
protection it cannot in any way laid
the people" But there will not be
genuine protective tariff plank in the
Democratic platform. Therefore. those
thousands Of Democrats who have be-
come convinced that the protective
tariff is necessary for the prosperity OF
this country will have to vote the Re-
publican ticket in order to make their
wishes known. There will be plenty OF
such Democrats in North Carolina,
and Daniels is shrewd enough to rec
ognize the drift of public sentiment in
his home state.

OSBORNE TRUSTY
HELD FOR TRIAL
IN UPPER COURT
Judge F. L. Wilder Binds
Over George Faber After :
Hearing Today.

Accused of being an idle person
and reputed to be q professional win
dow breaker and thief, George F'a.ber,
of Brooklyn, and a former inmate of
Sing Sing prison under the regime of
Warden Thomas Mott Osborne, was
bound over to the February term of
the superior court this morning by
Judge Frank L. Wilder in city court.
Marie Reiss of 256 White avenue,
Brooklyn, an alleged accomp1ice, was
also bound over to the superior court,
chaEged with living on money earned
illicitly. In the case of Faber, bonds
were set at $4,000. and in the woman's
case bonds were fixed at $780, Neither
was able to furnish bonds and they
were taken to the county jail.
The arrest of both was the result
of a crusade began by Capt. John H.
Regan to rid the city of bad charac-
ters. ! Faber was in this city only a
few days when the police were notified
of his presence.
Faber had been a trusty at Sing
Sing under Warden Osborne and was
afforded many privileges. He says he
saved the life of a>SInan boy and
girl bathing in the lake outside the
prison walls. For this act he was par
doned a few weeks before his sentence
would expire, he said. This was re-
ported to the Society for the Welfare
of Prisoners, affiliated with Sing Sing
prison.
Faber says that he came to this
city at the instigation of a member
of the society, who is the wife of the
president OF the factory in which he
was at first employed in this city He
worked there only two weeks and is
said to have been discharged.
Investigation by Detective Sergeant
Peter Hall disclosed the fact that Miss
Reissi was employed as a cigarmaker
for seven years, earning $11 a week.
and that she was the sole support of
her mother and two sisters for a long
time. Her right name Is Mary La
pinsly and she is of Polish descent.
Miss Reiss admits knowing Smith
kins, alias William Lewis, . convicted
of robbing the jeweIry store of d. A.
Parker in the Arcade recently. The
Reiss family lived in the north side
of Brooklyn, a neighborhood where
murders are frequent, according to
Faber.
