PKOMCTIOH A XEffACE. i Manufacturers of J the protected .. class are doing's good deal of ifreei - talking these days on our tariff sys- tern, and a good; deal of sensible talking too. The Philadelphia Times ' quotes Mr. Hugh McCaffrey,, presi dent of the McCaffrey file Company, H as saying: Mll' - q "Although I have been a protection -v ist all my life,JI am confident that the .time has come when ve must extend ; the principal of reciprocity and make .; commercial treaties with other nations if we wish to maintain our present po- y sitioa or reach the goal we are aiming : at. When all our industries were in ' their infancy we needed protection. " We are now on a firm basis, and are trying to capture the commerce of V Europe and Sooth America, It is sheer nonsense for this nation to think it X can secure concessions from forelern 7 countries while it maintains a protec : tiye barrier at home and refuses to irive anything? in return . - I insist that ' unless we remoTe these trade restric v:? tions and open our doors wider to the ' other nations, we shall find them . re- UuaUng at eyery opportunity. Mr. McCaffery is speaking first - for himself and- next for . all the American rnanufactnrerp who hare v or hope to build up an export ' busi . v ness, and he : talks , sense. . One of the arguments advanced by the a d , Yocates of retaliatory tariffs by European governments is' that, the ".' protection giVen" by the - bingley .tariff which enables American man x uiacturers to sell- their goods at a lower price in 'foreign countries than they do in their home markets . is really a bounty on exports, and Hon. Chas, H. Grostenor, in his ' interview on his - return from Eu- , rope, published after revision by him if he did not write it himself, substantially admits ;this when he - asserts that the protection 'given by that tariff enables our manufactnr : ers to: undersell '"' their"" European " competitors and thus .take trade 7 away from then. ' While he admit . iea mis, secretary uage was en . forcing a retaliatory policy on Russia and Italy because It was alleged they paid bounties, one on petroleum and sugar, the other on sugar. If they do pay bounties, which both of them : deny, they are not .large enough to enable their sugar or petroleum ex ; porters to compete with Americans ; in this market, where they are con fronted by, high, protectire duties, which are highr enough, according v to the admission of Mr. Grosvenor, - to enable our .manufacturers to sue : - cessfully compete in foreign markets, and take trade away from their Eu ropean competitors. .: Mr. Grosvenor declares that it will be dangerous to interfere with the tariff, or lessen the protection ... ; which our , manufacturers have, a protection which is greater now than . when, .most of the manufacturing industries were in their infancy, and ..'which has grown as the infants have I grown. v . ' ; If the advocates of the protective . policy, were honest when they de fended it on the ground that it was , to- foster, American . manufactories, which could not be established with- out some encouragement of that ' kind, and that it was not eontem- plated to continue it after the f'n e fanta" got strong enough to stand V alone and toddle by themselves, . what excuse can be offered for per petuating it, when - even protected -', manufacturers declare that it is no -:' , longer necessary? That's what Mr. McCaffery'says, and when he Bays it 1 - he is endorsed by hundreds of other manufacturers, who were - once, as -- anxious for protection as he was. -i-. -. It has been asserted? ' and per haps is true, that one of the objects, the main object, in fact, in con- . solidating.the respective lines of American manufactures, . as they have been consolidated into what ; "are called trusts, at the 5 head of . which stands tha-mammoth billion " dollar steel combine, is to 1 work to ; better advantage, to cheapen the -cost of production and thus be able " to sell at a lower priceand .be the .better able to compete with foreign . rivals and enlarge our trade in, for markets. :: If this be so. assuming ; that they are honest : and tell the ' truth there is even less need or ex- ';; cuse for a protective tariff; for Under t the trust arrangement,, on ; their .own authority, goods are made more cheaply than they, eyer could have been made before. They may have business combinations to com pete with; far Europe Jbut nothing like the trusts as we have them.' " The foreign manufacturers, while alert to catch on to some; things, have not caught on to the trust trick ye&TheywuV though, in countries "which haye protective t arifjf and 'which give " the manu facturers control of the home mar !::t 3 our tariff gives our manuf ac-t-crs controlj'oftHrmarkejif they conclude it may . be necessary to f-ht trust with' trust.

That was one I of .v the difficulties in the treaty which Gen:;- Blasson. nego tiated with France The hosiery manufacturers were afraid it would by opening our-. market to French hosiery ruin them, andUhe Calif or? nia grape-growers and wine-makers were afraid it would ruin their busi ness if our markets were opened to French wines; and i or these, with other reasons, the reciprocity treaty with France failed in. the Senate. Therewill always be some industry that will be affected by reciprocity, some that will fear ruin, so that it will be exceedingly diffionlt to pla cate the opposition in this country, who, are not so much concerned b foreign markets as they are in the home market, where they have the game in ther own hands and proba bly no competition. ti - ' A LILY WHITE CANDIDATE. Col. J. Hampton Hoge, the Ee- publican candidate for Governor of Virginia, seems to be a "lily white" sort of a fellow, and not banking much on negro votes. He is thus quoted on the colored brother by v irgima -papers : V : " - 'The negro to-day is more immoral. and is more nearly a barbarian, than he was when he was first brought into America. In the South the institution of marriage among negroes is dying out.. -The place -of the negro is de scending. He is approaching the status oi tne orate more and more each year. But therein no danger to be feared from this, for the white man. individ ually and collectively, can successfully come wiin tne question at all times. The negro in Virginia politics wil not amount to a great deal in the coming campaign. For myself, I be lieve in giving to tne negro all the rights endowed to him through the constitution the right of suffrage, tbe privilege or owning property. But do not favor the negro as an office holder. ;- . The day when a negro could become a member of Congress, or a United States Senator has passed. They will never again - secure these elective offices. Assuming that candidate Hoge is correctly quoted he is evidently not counting on many negro votes, un less he takes it for granted, as near ly all .Republican candidates do, that the negroes will walk up to the polls and vote for' him any way. no matter what he .says or does, on the principle that the worst kind of a Republican is better in their es timation than the best kind of a Democrat. Thafs the way it has been in this State, and that's the way it has been in every Southern State. We have known them to vote for .candidates who were not fit to drag offal from a slaughter pen, in preference to high charactered and spotless men simply because one was a Bepublican and the other Democrat. And so it will probably be with can didate Hoge, who thus indiscrimi nately characterizes them as ''barba rians, "immoral," etc A good many of them may never hear of this but if they do it will not make any difference for they will be cor ralled by their leaders'" and, marched to the polls to vote for him just as if -he Blept with them seven nights in the .week and sopped out of the samepot.v This is the . mass or mob voting that is objected to by so many thoughtful people in the South, and is one of the strongest arguments for restricted negro suffrage. ADIQBAL HOWISO V RETIRED. The sentiment of the country will approve the action of Admiral Dewey and Benham in declaring that Admiral Ho wison was not, un der the circumstances, competent to sit as an impartial Judge on the Schley Court of Inquiry. . They could not have done otherwise with out disappointing those who desire to see an investigation -as to the re sult of which there could be no question; of fairness and which might hot look like a farce or an other Dreyfus case. In deciding as they did Admirals Dewey and Benham; simply did for their associates what he should have done for himself and thus averted the necessity of a challenge, (which must have been unpleasant for Ad miral Schley and is not at all credit able to Admiral Howison. In his written rejoinder, in answer to "the charges on which the . challenge was based, fie denied nothing positively, but ; showed a defective , memory when he said he did not remember some of the gentlemen who testified as to what he said - to them and did not remember some of the language attributed to him , of -which . they were positive. : This shows a defect ive and some may say a rather con venient memory or lack of memory . Me also said that he was glad to be relieved, that in accepting he simply obeyed orders, as a matter of duty, when named to fill the position of he Admiral who had asked to be excused on' the ground of ill health. In his letter to 'Assistant Secretary Hackett, he not only . did not show any reluctance to serve, but seemed ! to be anxious to do so. when he i Jnight with all propriety iave asked ! to he relieved after the question of his competency had arisenAs there i were others fully competent to .take his place, he could have done this j with the utmost propriety and with I credit to himself. But he didn't ' retire until forced.tb ind therefore ost the opportunity .; of doing the rorer and creditable act.- . : .',- .. (HtTM R. H. BEERY, 1 0 CURRENT COMMENT. . It may be surprising infor mation to the average man -that in the past sixteen years 801 whites have been lynched. The idea that only negroes are the victims is wide of jthe mark. .- Already this year there have been 23 whites lynched In the total lynchings about two thirds of the victims are negroes. Augusta Chronicle,' Dent. ; i Lord Kitchener has hit npon a device for putting a stop to train wrecking by the Boers that ought to be effective. The leading burghers of rretona are compelled to nae on the trains, and run the same risks as the English passengers. There ia but one more effective stop that the British' commander could take in this direction he might carry a few Boer women on each locomo tive. Philadelphia Telegraphy Rep.

Judge Justice's sen tence was ten years at hard labor in the penitentiary. McDowell's two sons and daughter testified that he de liberately shot down their brother without cause. McDowell's weak mind saved him from hanging." Fayetteviile Observer: Sheriff Burns and Deputy Sheriff Monaghan went up to Raleigh to-day (Friday) carrying Alexander Gilmore and John Burns to the penitentiary. Gilmore is an escaped convict, and had served only fifteen months of a ten years' sentence, imposed by Judge Sutton, for burglary in the second degree, for robbing Mr. . McDaniers house in ueuar ureek. ionn Burns is to serve a ten months' sentence, Imposed by Judge McNeill at the recent term . of tbe Superior court, for killing Watson Cameron in Quewhiffie last Christmas day. Gilmore, if he does not escape before tnat time, will be arrested ss soon as his term expires in the North Carolina penitentiary.- by the South Carolina . authorities, where he is wanted to serve out fifteen years of an unexpired term. He is also wanted in Florida to serve out almost the whole term of a ten years' sentence. He escaped from all three of these penitentiaries within a few months after his incarceration. uiimore boasts tnat tnere is no prison from which he cannot escape. The stories about Gilmore being seen in this county during the past year be fore his recent arrest were all fabrica tions. He has been af stoker on a number of ships since his escape from the pemteatiary. He has a number of certificates of good character from our consuls in Europe, showing where he was honorably discharged from cer tain ships. He has one showing where he was discharged from one of the Johnston line of - steamers on . July 10th of this year, at Manchester, England. From there he took ship and came nome. navingan unaccount able longing, he says, to visit his mother and old home once more. The old adage that a criminal will always return to the scene of his crime holds good certainly in this case. ' Cloae Shave, Are Bad.

This feeling - already existing is en couraged and strengthened by ascertain, amount of the writing of the day. V The average man and woman love to read a bear or nanther. or wolf story net less than do small boys, and round eyed chil dren listen with pleasure to the tales oi some venerable uncle or grandfather whe relates the story of the wolves that used to howl about his cabin or visit bis sheep- fold when first he settled in the country. In this land of America, as many know, there are no such things, as dangerous animals, though there are creatures which may be made dangerous. The wolf, the bear and the cougar are far more anxious toet away from man than man is to get away from them, it given tne opportu nity they will always slip away and run, snd if they fight It is because they be lieve that they have been, cut off from ev ery avenue of escape. Where an, animal has been wounded it is a different matter. . Then often considerations of prudence are forgotten, and the animal acts on im pulse instead of doing' what it knows to be wise, but even so, there is much more I danger from a wounded deer.tnan irom a wounded panther and vastly more from a wounded moose. . . But for the average manvwha is travel ing through a new country where . wild animals msy be plenty, who stops when he has made a day's march and Is at home when, nlrht finds him. there ia not now nor ever was more danger from the wild animals of the country than from the lightnings which blsze in the suzamer sky. Many more people have been killed by, lightning than have been run over by stampeding buffalo herds or killed by un wounded grizzly bears or by all the other animals of the prairie put together. . One might almost say that more people have been struck by falling meteorites than have been killed by panthers or wolves. And yet from day .to day .the newspapers continue to print bear stories, catamount stories and wolf stories, and probably they will do so until long after the last bear, catamount and wolf Shan have dis appeared from the land. Forest and Stream. A RESTAURANT ENIGMA. Wat Are Side Tables Patremlsed. 1 Hon Taaat tme Ceater Oaeat Why is it that most persona when en tering a restaurant will seat themselves at one of the side tables la preference to the center tables? If this idiosyncrasy of restaurant patrons has never attracted your attention just note the appearance of your own restaurant when next you have occasion to go there before the mid-. day rush sets in. . " Almost every side table wm be taken by one or more persons, while of the center tables scarcely one win beast of an occu pant. . This rule holds good from the highest class "of establishment . 'to the cheapest form of "beanery, and not only is it true of eating places mostly patron ised by men, but also of restaurants In the shopping districts where women form the greater part of tbe custom. Many waiters witn whom I nave talked on the subject confirmed the troth of the statement, but few. sought to explain it. contenting , themselves with the remark that they much preferred to be assigned to fude tables, where they were not only as sured of more chance to make ips." but where these self same tips were also much more generous, the satisfaction of sitting at the side seeming to promote the good nature of the luncher or diner. What the explanation may be is diffi cult to ssy exactly. Perhaps because the coat hooks are usually ranged along the walls those seeking- to replenish their In ner economy prefer to be where they can at the same time keep close watch of their outer integuments, but this only oomes into consideration during the win-, ter, as in summer there are no coats or wraps to watch out for. Man, and wom an, too, for that matter. Is a creature of habit, however, and the custom acquired during the winter probably un consciously clings in summer. r Another reason advanced is that many persons prefer to eat with as much pri vacy as possible and think they can se cure this in a greater measure by- sitting at one side of a room rather than in the middle, where they are exposed, as it were, to the concentrated sase of all those in the establishment. -New York Herald. .
