A M0H8TR0US SWINDLE- Within the past year or ao there have been held several meetings of. manufacturers to discuss the ques tion of tariff reduction mth a view to promoting reciprocity. There was in these meetings a sentiment in favor of reduction, some of the manufacturers declar ing that they did not need protec tion and could now get along better without it. And yet, notwithstand ing these declarations, and the free endorsement given the proposed policy of reciprocity, the Republi cans in Congress could not be pre vailed upon to touch the tariff, and the first pass at reciprocity proved a dismal and disgusting failure. The very men who had been laud ing President McKinley aa the ideal atatesman forgot their lauaauumo and deliberately turned down his suggestions and recommendations, even when supplemented by the recommendations and appeals of his successor, who urged reciprocity with Cuba as something not only due to her but due to us, whose honor aaa pledge-keeping people was involved. Among the "warm advocates of Cuban reciprocity were the bunders of agricultural and other machinery and implements, Western millers and meat packers and Northern and Southern cotton manufacturers, all of whom felt that they would be benefited by liberal tariff conces sions to Cuban products, the more liberal the better. But the beet sugar makers and the Sugar Trust said "no," beat them all, and the result was destroying the market for millions of dollars' worth of Ameri can manufactures to protect two in dustries, neither of which needs any protection. But they declare thev do; they get it and it costs the American people about $800,00,000 a year in the higher price they pay for the sugar they consume, which is " about the only result of the protec tion given to our domestic sugar in dustries. We said the only result, but there is another. It does much to de prive -us of markets in which our manufacturers might dispose of a largo quantity of their manufac tures. That's the view taken of the protective tariff by some of our manufacturers, who have not only begun to realize the injury it does them in foreign markets, but also that it is a gross injustice to the American farmer, who is their best customer. Some of them Bpeak very plainly and vigorously on this subject. Mr. A. B. Farquhar, of York, Pa., is one of the largest manufacturers and exporters of ag ricultural machinery and imple ments in the country. He partici pated in some of the meetings of manufacturers to which we have re ferred above and gave his views very freely upon the policy of tariff reduction. He favored, as a matter of course, reciprocity with Cuba and was doubtless disgusted, as others were, at its failure, as they desired it not only because it would open up to them a fine market in Cuba, but because they thought it would lead up to reciprocity with other nations where they would find a demand for many of their produc tions. He was a protectionist, but has come to the conclusion that the system if ever right has been so grossly abused as to be all wrong now. He regards protection not only as the bulwark of the "hog element" among the manufacturers who still insist upon it, but also of the trusts for whose benefit foreign' competition is prevented, while they by combination crush competition at home, crush competition and then having the consumers in their power make whatever prices they see fit. In discussing this he says: ing Democratic talk for partisan purposes. The fact fa he has through experience become a convert, a con vert from necessity if not from .I...- VArHinn inspired by his interest doubtless as his support of protection informer years was. But be is entitled to credit for his vir tual admission of error and the can nr nd vizor with which he speaks in behalf of the farmer, the princi pal victim of this "monstrous swin dle," as he properly characterizes the protective system. atinnld the American farmer be compelled to pay ten dollars for an implement that the manufacturer can ship across the ocean and sell at a profit for six or seven dollars? There is nothing fair in that, and it is base ingratitude in the bene ficiaries of protection to thus dis criminate against men wnose tu have given them protection and Q mtMi will be necessary to prevent it being taken from them. The farmers of this country haye known for years that they have been thus swindled and, strange to say, so many of them have permitted themselves to be humbugged year after year by other trumped u issues and have gone on voting for the Dolicy which enabled its bene ficiaries to rob them. They are learning, however, for even some of the manufacturers have become voluntary witnesses and teachers. "Ihe fact is that our protective laws re a monstrous swindle upon the agricultural community. As a man ufacturer I was not inclined to say anything upon the subject, and for the reason that it was natural to suppose if anybody was benefitted It was the manufacturing claia to which I be long. The farmer is being destroyed. We are killing the goose for the gold en egg, and I honestly believe it is for the interest of the manufacturers themselves to eliminate the protective feature of our tariff laws. Certainly, our manufactures are sold much lower abroad. We could only need protec tion to get better prices from our cus tomers at home. We do manufacture and tell in Canada, South America and Europe many agricultural imple ment! and machines, and could we have free raw materials and the commercial advantage which free trade would give us America would become the great manufacturing emporium oi me woria. and the farmer, of course, would share the prosperity, ince he would have to pay less for everything and get better 'prices for all he sold. When the farmer begins to think and rise up against the swindle it is doomed. It has been denounced aa an iniquitous proceeding that American producers should be willing to let foreigners have American made goods for prices lower than those which they ask American consumers to pay. The fallacy of the mUmtntA ItSCMlitV Ol-ttrOtaettnn la fnllv shown whenever we export a manu factured article.

" Government by injunction has be come a subject of much discussion in this country within the past few years for the reason that the injunc tion practice is carried to an ex treme that was not dreamed of some years ago. In nearly every case of protracted labor strikes within the f aw vnara the courts have been appealed to to isBue injunctions against the strikers, some of which were reasonable, and, doubtless, i0rtti while others were arbitrary, despotic and were a blow at the right of the people to'assemble and dis cuss their grievances, at the right of free speech. Whether despotism were intended or not, or whether the courts were unduly influenced or not. or whether the judges were hon est, meant well and felt that they were acting within the law, does not matter, if the injunction went too far. In a recent case in West Virginia Judge Jackson, one of the oldest judges on the Federal bench, issued an injunction, not only ' forbidding striking miners and their repre sentatives from going upon the lands of certain mining companies, which he had a right to do, but made his injunction so far reaching as to forbid them from holding meetings, making speeches or marching any where in the vicinity of those lands. That was forbidding the people to exercise the right to assemble in gatherings and to talk over the mat ters that concerned them. They paid no attention to this in junction and as a result fourteen of them, including . "Mother Jones," were arrested and imprisoned by an order of Judge Jackson for "con tempt of court." They were after wards released on habeas corpus proceedings. Judge Keller, before whom this case came last Saturd ay, seems to take a less stringent view of the scope of an injunction than Judge JackBon did, because he holds that while the striking miners are bound to respect the property rights and individual rights of others, they also have rights while they exercise them with out disregarding the rights of others. It is remarkable that in a matter like this, where the intent of the law should be so plain, that there should be so much difference of opinion about it among judges whose business it is to interpret the law, and some of them put such arbitrary constructions on their powers as to practically make them selves the agents of a despotism and to utterly destroy some of greatest and most cherished rights of the American citizen. Injunctions are sometimes all right, and they are sometimes all wrong. ADMITTING IT One of the objections made in the recent Iowa Bepublican State con vention to reaffirming the plank in reference to tariff reductions and trusts was that these planks were an admission of the Democratic contention that the protective tariff generates trusts. But the conven tion did, with slight variation, to make the language stronger, re affirm these planks and thus did ad mit, as Asserted by the opponents of reaffirmation that the Democratic contention was right. The convention of two years ago practically admitted it by the' plat form declarations which have re cently been reiterated, but what have the Bepublican representatives from Iowa done in the meantime to show that they were in earnest, or that they meant what the language of their platform said? The Republicans have been in control of ;both Houses of - Con gress, with a President of their own tjartv. Have they made any move or shown a disposition to make any movement for a reduction of tariff taxation, or to abate the trust evil? Not a move. On the contrary they were on the alert to check and sup press every indication of a move ment from any source in that direc tion, and now thev have tha effrontery to reaffirm with a grand flourish this offensive two-year old A WORD TO THE GREAT ARMY OF SUMMER TOILERS.

Dulin, a young farmer, was burned to death at his home in Crab Orchard township at an early hour Sunday morning. Mr. Dulin and Mr. John Johnston, a neighbor, had spent the day in Charlotte and arrived at Mr. Johnston's home, which only a tew hundred yards from Mr, Dulin's house at about 1 o'clock Sunday morning. Dulin found that his wife and two children were sleeping at Mr. John ston's and told his wife that she might stay the remainder of the night at Mr. Johnston's while he would go home nil Ffltum for her and the children next Imorning. After his wife had told him in what part of the house she had 8 laced his supper Dulin left for home, ire in the Dulin house was discov ered about 2 o'clock in the morning by Mr. Alex Allen, who lives near by. He gave the alarm, and accompanied by several men ran to the burning residence. It was found that the house was enveloped in flames that forbade nntranrjv Trfvilrino' thmnch a window Mr. Allen saw Dulin lying on a trun dle bed close to an open window. The bed was on fire, but Dulin did not move. He was dead, it was presumed. Neighbors, who have made a full in vestigation, do not believe that Dulin was the victim of foul play. It is thought that he went to sleep in the living room of his house, and that a lamp, which was left burning on a thl o.lrtflA tn th had. was made to explode by some means. Either a cat or a rat, it is said, might easily have knocked the lamp from the table. J esobent TWINKLINUS. The bank of England never issus the same note twice.
