FRIDAY, AUGUST 3, 1894

VILAS made a complete and unconditional surrender to the sugar trust.

IF a tariff bill gets through Congress the President and the House must capitulate and surrender to Gorman.

THE attitude of the President on the "tariff is about as follows: Protection on iron ore or coal is sinful and wicked on sugar it is all right.

THE "senseless chatter" now going on in Congress is being done by the Democrats. The Republicans are enjoying themselves witnessing the fight.

THE criminal, says Mr. Henry Holt in the August Forum, is stupid and ignorant and puny partly because he is poor, and he is poor partly because he stupid and ignorant and puny.

BKING a coal baron and a high protectionist Senator Gorman is true to the trust interests.—Argun-News.

When the Senate bill is agreed to, passed and signed by Grover Cleveland thp Argus-News will begin to sing a new song.

So FAR as the sugar schedule is conconcerned, it is tlie Administration schedule, and if the Administration does not want it we may take the House bill on the sugar question." These are the words of Senator Erice. He is right. The sugar schedule is the schedule of the Administration."

INDIANA Democrats do not believe it is logical to put wool and lumber on the free list and "protect" iron, coal, whisky and refined sugar.—Indianapolis Sentinel.

Logical or not that is just exactly what will be done, and when the coal, iron, whisky and sugar bill gets through there will be none to sing its praises louder than the Sentinel.

TIJE Cincinnati Commercial Gazette asks: "If coal should be free for the benefitof the people, why not sugar? Every one uses sugar, not one in twenty uses coal, or is affected by a duty on it. It is a Ioaring farce to talk of "free raw material" for the benefit of the people and in the same breath advocate a duty on sugar."

IN an article in the August Forum, on the recent strike, Mr. D. McG. Means savs that the strikers have ascertained that in order to succeed in an organized attempt to arrest all trade it is not enough to be assured of the sympathies of a mayor and a gov-, ernor. but that they must have upon their side fllfjc, the President of the United States.

THE Rusliville Republican pays the following compliment to Indiana's young militiamen: "Hats off to Indiana's young militiamen. They neither shirked their duty nor swaggered in the performance of it but have gone quietly and steadily where sent, and stayed there until ordered away by those authorized to command them. They have good stuff in them."

DEMOCRATS have been wont, ever since the passage of the McKinley bill, to laugh about tin plate being produced in the United States. They have stopped it largely, and the report made a Democrat who investigated the industry shows that it was wise for them to cease their criticism. A year ago, of the tin plate consumed in America, aggregating many tons. 50.50 per cent was made in America, more than half, while the latest report out shows that there has been an increase in the consumption of home made tin plate by nearly 12 per cent., for of the plate used last year 08.12 per cent, was American made.

THE Canadian Manufacturer says "American manufacturers are quite alive to the necessity of organizing and preparing for what must be a life and death struggle for them in the en suing session of Congress. There is this to be said regarding the situation there: If the tariff is reduced to a strictly revenue basis—if a close ap proach is made to free trade—the man ufacturer must either go out of busi ness or reduce the cost of production to the standard established by competing foreign nations. The manufacturer who has his capital invested in a factory will not sacrifice it if he can help it and the only way is by reduc ing the wages of labor to the standard of competing foreign nations. It will be a bitter pill for American workmen to swallow, but it will have to go down." Here is a proposition in a nut shell and it comes from a foreign paper and ought to have weight.

THE RECEXT STKIKES. "The Lesson of the Recent Strikes," forms the subject of an important and timely symposium in the Norl* American Review for August, by four men especially competent to deal with the question—General Nelson A. Miles, who was in command of the federal troops at Chicago during the recent troubles the Hon. Wade Hampton, United States Commissioner of Railroads Harry P. Robinson, editor of the Railway Age, and Samuel Gompers, President of the American Federation of Labor. General Miles in his article says:

The condition of labor is attracting the attention of the thoughtful men, not only of this, but of all other countries. During the period of some 250 years of development since the original settlements of this country, the condition of the laborer has changed entirely Up to within the last few decades every community had to its westward a boundless territory of rich fields,where the man who labored could at any time locate and establish in a few years an estate amply sufficient for his family or relations and of great and permanent value. All this is now changed. For the last few decades the tendency has been to the congregating of the people in large cities and towns and a feeling of discontent, unrest and dissatisfaction has become almost universal until the feeling between the man who labors and his employer is at present surely not satisfactory. The employer has too little confidence in his employees, too little consideration and sympathy for his condition, and too little interest in his welfare: while, on the other hand, the employee has a feeling of hostility and predjudice, in many instances amounting to almost actual hatred of his employer. To what extent this feeling has been engendered and promoted by the demagogues, the professional agitators, the men of the press, the forum, the pulpit and the stage, we leave them to answer. The conditions of our country have been such as to create and promote great corporations, trusts, and combinations of capital while labor, on the other hand, has kept equal pace in combination, confederations, labor unions, and secret organizations which control thousands if not millions of men, expending over every section of the country. The former have been and can be all controlled by judicious legislation and plain, positive law. The principal weapons of the labor organizations have been the strike and the boycott—the strike to paralyze industries, effect the suspension of business, and the increase of wages, and the boycott to prevent men who do not desire to be controlled by the labor unions from obtaining work, in many cases subjecting them to serious physical and pecuniary injury. It is a singular fact that strikes have been most violent and serious in the mining communities and among men connected with railways.

THE coal mines of Pennsylvania. West Virginia and Virginia furnish New England six million tons of coal annually. Free coal will cut off this supply, as it will be furnished by the Whitney trust from Nova Scotia. This will seriously affect American interests. The railroads will lose §10,000,000 in freights, and American vessels in the coastwise trade §3,000,000 more. This will cause a raise in other freights. Several thousand miners and other employes of coal mines will be thrown out of employment. It will therefore be seen that there can be no good result from free coal, except to the Dominion Government, which will get §720,000 royalty on the six million tons sent to New England and to the Whitney coal trust, which can easily clear at least one dollar per ton, or a total of §0,000.000 on the New England trade.

HENKY WATTKKSON, who did more than any other man in the construction of the Chicago platform, and who in his paper explains that free raw materials have nothing to do with a tariff for revenue only, except as an incident. He adds, "When you hear a man prating about 'free raw materials,' set him down as a cowardly scoundrel, who wants to throw dust in people's eyes, or an ignorant fool, whose room were better than his company among true Democrats." Could Mr. Watterson have had the Argus-Neivs in his mind when he penned the above?

THE New York Wo id, a leading Democratic paper, reads the riot act to Congress. It says:

If this Congress, the second elected by the people for that purpose, shall fail to pass a measure of tariff reform, the Democratic party will go out of power in a storm of invited obloquy and merited derision. No more disgraceful exhibition of incapacity or faithlessness could be imagined.

No party could survive such a fiasco. No leader in any measure responsible for it could ever face the people with a hope of pardon.

A party that could survive its record of "(l-'(55 certainly can survive the present "fiasco," but possibly the World is a prophet.

CRAWFORDSVILLE is credited with twenty-three saloons, which are kept open eighteen hours a day for six days in the week and even longer unless watched like hawks by the officers of the law. We also have a total of nine churches which are opened on an average of six hours a week.

THE Arkansas Populists declare in their platform that "the Democrats have done more harm to the country in sixteen months than it suffered in twenty years prior to their accession to power." Which shows that the Populists even are sometimes right.

IN reply- to the Democratic plea, which just now is its sole stock in trade, and that is that the Democratic party is not responsible for the misery and poverty of the times as the Republican tariff is still in force, the Chicago Inter-Ocean gives this pointed illustration:

It would be puerile to reply seriously to this more than puerile plea. Suppose that a man owns a house that as a mere piece of mason work is worth but §10,000, but which in consequence of its asphalt pavement, its select neighborhood, its frontage on a cable road, or other accidents of circumstance, is worth $20,000, and suppose that a city council has been elected pledged to tear up the asphalt and to cause the street to revert to the condition of a dirt road, or to revoke the charter of the cable company, or to remove the fortunate circumstances that enhance its value. Would it not be absurd to answer the complaint of the losing owner by saying: "CVi, the old asphalt ordinance still is in force—the cable charter still survives. It will be as much as six weeks Ixfove the pavement or tracks are torn up. Your property cannot have depreciated by reason of a mere threat, coupled, with power to execute it."

The main cause for these frightful times, the great losses in business, and the utter lack of confidence, is the fact that the Democracy proposed to tear up the protective asphalt and return to the old dirt road of free trade.

THE Baltimore American figures the expenses of the American Railway Union during the strike to be as follows: Debs gets §3,000 a year, the vice-president and the secretary get §2,000 each the six directors receive §1,500 each there are seventy organizers who receive §5 a day ten clerks are employed, with wages at from §2 to §4 a day. The strike headquarters at Chicago cost §10.000 a-month 1,000 telegrams a day, which have been sent and received since the strike began, cost §400 or §500. The missionary work of sending speakers to other points and hiring halls means, in the aggregate, §3,000 a day. Who pays this? Well, the organization has 145, 000 members, which contribute §1 each to the union. But, as the expenses of Mr. Debs and his associates are fully §145,000 a year, the question is, how will they meet their bills? They have voted themselves out of work, and no wages will be coming to them.

LAST year there were 43,000,000 pounds of raw cotton imported to the United States for the use ofour various cotton mills. The importations have been doubling annually for several years. It will not be long till the South will be clamoring for a tariff on raw cotton, and the cry of free raw material, like the erstwhile cry for the free breakfast table, will be heard no more.

THE Frankfort Crescent, doubtless had in its mind's eye the Indianapolis Sentinel and the Crafordsville Argus-News when it penned the following: "No more ludicrous phase of journalism was ever presented to the American public than the fulsome praise which Senator Hill now receives from the many Democratic journals which never had a kind word to say for the distinguished New Yorker."

A SEiuoi'S objection to the election of a candidate for Senator by a State convention is presented in Illinois, where the Democrats sold such a nomination for money to pay campaign expenses. It is a fact well known that had not Franklin McVeigh been a multi-mil-lionaire and promised to come down handsomely he never could have been nominated over such a man as General J. C. 11 lack.

THE United States courts are now operating 152 railroads owning 43,000 miles of roads, and representing an aggregate capital of §2,500,000,000. Since the beginning of the year receivers have been appointed for twen-ty-three companies. In the last six months eighteen roads have been sold.

If the labor agitators have any regard for poverty they ought to give railway property a rest.

THREE saloons have been closed in Indianapolis, not oby the Prohibition ists, nor by local option, nor by moral suasion, but by the vigorous and hon est enforcement of the somewhat lax Indiana liquor laws. These saloons were well established and on the most prominent streets but without the Sun day and after 11 o'clock trade they lost money for the proprietors, who voluntarily closed up.

THE Lafayette Call makes this pointed observation: "Now that Tippecanoe county wheat fields are yielding thirty-five and forty bushels to the acre, would be a most opportune time for the local Democracy to redeem that promise made to our farmers that if they would vote for Cleveland, and he should be elected, their wheat would bring a dollar a bushel!"

SPEAKING of the difference in men when they are interviewed the Indian apolis Sun says: "Lew Wallace, the author, never objects to being interviewed at any time day or night. He is very polite to the reportorial frater nity, among whom he has a legion of friends. He never has much to say but utters that little in a hit-from-the shoulder style."

FIERCE FLAMES.

They Cause Losses in Chicago Estimated at Over $1,600,000.

THE LUMBER DISTRICT IS VISITED.

Immense Yards and Kxtensive WoodWorking Establishments Are Destroyed—Three Lives Lost—

Several Persons Hurt.

ACRES OF FIRE.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2.—Fireswept through sixty acres of the lumber distriot between Blue Island avenue and the river and Roby street and Ashland avenue Wednesday night, destroying over 90,000,000 feet of lumber, the new plant of the Siemans-Halske company, two foundries of the Wells-French company, the new foundry of the Chicago stove works, the plant of the Barber Asphalt company and the Farnum foundry.

Three Lives Lost.

The following lives were lost during the fire: William Wollenfell, 683 Union avenue, struck by a cap blown off engine No. 36 at the foot of Paulina street, knocked Into the river and drowned Lieut. John MoGlnn, of flreboat Geyser, burned about face, body and hands, died at the county hospital unknown boy, drowned in slip A, pushed into the water by the crowd.

Four firemen and four other persons were severely injured. The Losses.

The estimated losses of the firms which suffered by the fire is as follows: S. K. Martin Lumber company 8500,000 Siemens & Halske company 600,000 Perloy, Lowe & Co 145,000 Wells & French company Barber Asphalt company Shoemaker & Bigbee R. P. Conway & Co J. B.

Sarrell & Locke Barnum & Richardson Loss to shipping, railroads and docks (estimated) £00,000

Total $1,646,100 Start of the Fire. The fire began in a pile of shavings in a shed which stood on the northeast corner of the slip which extends north into 8. K. Marin's yards. A watchman saw the little blaze, which sprung into a bonfire while he was looking at it. At the time a brisk wind was blowing from the west, and the watchman turned in an alarm. Before he had returned the little bonfire had grown to a dangerous blaze, the wind had increased to a gale which came ahead of the storm, and an hour later lumber was blazing east of Ashland avenue almost half a mile away from the starting point. The slips which come out of the river were spanned by the bridges of fire, and when the general alarm was turned in the conflagration was acres in area. Its light illuminated the high buildings in.the business center miles to the northeast.

An Army of Firemen.

The first alarm was followed almost immediately by second and third calls, and when the fire still Increased in velocity in its progress through the dry lumber and resisted all the efforts of the twenty engines which had then been called out, the firemen sent in call after call for additional apparatus until there were fortyeight engines and two fireboats playing their streams upon the fire, attacking it from every point of vantage. These engines were supplemented by five trucks and five chemical engines. Chief Swenie was early on the scene and took charge of the battle against the flames. He was assisted by the first and third assistant marshals and four battalion chiefs. The fire attracted the usual crowd of spectators. The streets in the vicinity were crowded.

Flames Sweep Over Lumber. The immense yard of S. K. Martin & Co., extending half a block on each side of Lincoln street from Blue Island to the river, was soon a roaring furnace of flame and the fire was eating :[ts way through the yards of Perley, Lowe &, Co., adjoining S. K. Martin on the east. Each of these yards were estimated to contain from 25,000,000 to 60,000,000 feet of lumber, besides many thousand shingles and cedar posts.

The plant of the Wells & French Car company, employing 2,000 men and extending from Blue Island to the river, between Wood ,and Paulina streets, was next attacked by the flames. The firemen by hard work were able to save a portion of the plant, but the foundry, the main building of the works, was destroyed.

Near the river, in a corner of the block occupied by the Wells & French Car company, was situated the fourstory brick plant of the SiemensHelske company, manufacturers of dynamos and electric appliances. The company furpished the electricity to operate the Twenty-second street electric cars, and the destruction of the plant will cripple that line until other arrangements can be made for obtaining the necessary current.

Adjoining the property of the Wells & French C»r company were the yards of Shoemaker, Higbee & Co., timber dealers. The wind had veered and seemed to be blowing when the flames attacked this yard more to the south toward the river. The greater part of the yard, however, was burned, as was also that of Conway &Co., dealers in cedar posts,

It was probably the hardest fire which the firemen have had to fight in Chicago for some time. Chief Swenie said it was the largest fire of its kind that he had ever fought. He gave great praise to the work done by his xnen and said they could not have distinguished themselves better.

Engines Abandoned.

There were many thrilling escapes and fire engines Nos. 2 and 28 were abandoned because of the rapid advance of the fire, which drove the men from their posts before they could take their engines with them. The two engines were dt work between slips and when a sudden gust of wind seemed to bear an avalanche of

flame down upon them and the men had to fly for their lives. All, however, reached a place of safety. The fire boats Yosemite and Geyser had many narrow escapes while working in the slips between the burning piles of lumber.

While the flreboat Geyser was making a sudden move to avoid a toppling pile of lumber which threatened to fall on it three firemen were caught by a sweep of a line of hose and were thrown into a burning pile of lumber. Their names were Lieut. James McGinn, J. P. Phelan, No. 2947 Arch street, and Flahertv.

Boy Drowns In the River.

Will Wellendorf was drowned at Ashland avenue and the river. He was standing close to the edge of the water and was tripped up by a line of hose. A hundred men saw him fall in the water, but no assistance was offered him. He sank beneath the surface and never rose again. In the excitement no one seemed to think of assisting him.

A Serious Loss.

At 11 o'clock, after burning for four hours, the fire was gotten under control- The Siemens-Halske company's plant was considered one of the most important electrical manufactories in the country. It was built two years ago and everything in it was of the latest style and construction. It was the American works of the big German electric company which has large factories at St. Petersburg, Russia, Berlin, Chariot tenburg and Wein on the Bhine. The effects of the destruction of this plant will be widespread, for on the floor, almost ready to be shipped, were two 830,000 dynamos for the Toronto (Can.) street railway, four 1,000 horse generators for the Metropolitan elevated road of Chicago and some dynamos for the Dayton (0.) street railway. Five large stationary engines used for power and two traveling electrio cranes valued at $25,000 were destroyed.

Freight Cars Burned on the Tracks. Besides the tremendous destruction of property in the yards the railroad companies suffered severely on their sidings along the slips. It is believed that nearly 100 freight cars of all kinds were destroyed during the conflagration. The damage to the docks will also reach many thousands of dollars.

He

THE STRIKE.

Practically

That It Has

Admits Failed.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2.—Eugene V. Debs returned to this city from Terre Ilante Wednesday. A large crowd was at the depot and escorted him to the Revere house. President Debs has returned to Chicago to preside at a convention of the order which will be held Thursday at Uhlich's hall to decide whether the railway strike should be officially declared at an end, or if it be con turned to formulate a new plan of operations. Mr. Debs would not venture an opinion as to the probable action that would be taken at the convention. It was noticeable however, that he talked about the strike more as if he considered it a lost cause than ever before since the boycott was declared. It seems probable from remarks made by some of the labor men that the convention may decide to declare the strike off. When asked if it were true that he had said he did not expect to participate in anj' more strikes. Mr. Debs said: "I do not expect to be officially connected with another strike. There seems to be a sentime.nt in organized society against strikes, and it seems lo be useless to orgp.niz$ them. I think now that the laboring people must make a stand for their rights at the ballot bos. The government officials seem to be against us. We had the general manngers whipped atone time, but the government sent troops here and helped out the railroads. If other strikes should be inaugurated the same rule would doubtless apply to them. It would probably apply should we vote to extend the strike at the convention. We Jean undoubtedly do something with our votes toward helping ourselves, and it Is the duty of workingmen to stand together and see that they have laws and officials that will protect them and look out for their interests. I think our organizations now should be for the purpose of securing rights by other means than strikes."
