SPRINGER'S PLAIN TALK, Protection Ftiljae!** Exposed bj the Illinois Csnxrestrano. William M. Springer, cf Springfield, was at Chicago on Wednesday, September 7, and announced himself as fully recovered from tlie bail attack of erysipelas which prostrated him In Washing-bon. He said he was ready for two months hard work for the democratic party, declaring it as his intention to deliver‘five speeches a week until election day. He thinks Illinois is good fighting ground this year and that with earnest work the state can be carried for Cleveland and Stevenson. In his opinion everything points to a better and more intelligent discussion of the issues than has ever taken place heretofore, and the result canftot faii lo be beneficial to the coun - try. The tariff question only needs to he understood ami tbs present law will be indefensible. In speaking of the tariff question Me. Springer said: “The fallacies which protectionists indulge in can easily be exposed, li'or instance, President Harrison, in bis letter of acceptance, referring to the senate report on wages and cost of labor, says that the cost of living has been reduced. In the same breath he says the cost of hreadstnffs has yiereased eighteen per cent How it is possible to pay eighteen per cent more for breadstuffs and live cheaper is a mystery to me, ISreadstuffs and provisions constitute at least one-half the expense of a laboring nan’s family. Now to increase the wholesale priee on breadstuffs and on provisions and at the same time reduce the cost of living is a problem which none but a protectionist can solve to his own satisfaction. Then another wonder about the president’s letter is that where be says the tariff on manufactured goods reduces their prices. Aecoiding to this theory the tariff on manufactured goods reduces their price, but the tariff on agricultural products increases their price. This is a very convenient tariff. They have intended to hoodwink the farmer on the one hand and fool the workingman on the other. I was quite amazed at the great length. of the letter, but highly amazed when the president apologized at the end for not writing more. ^

_“His defense for the tin plate tariff is very weak. The tin-plate, industry is confessedly unprofitable in this country, as less than V) per cent of the Tin plate used here is a domestic production and then the black sheets dipped in the tin are imported from Walps, white the laborers employed in the industry are mostly foreigners. The industry costs the country $16,000,000 annually, although it was confidently asserted when the McKinley bill was passed that the production within a year would be enough to 'supply the demand.” Of Commissioner Peck-’s much discussed report the congresSHUm^said*. “The figures Mr. Peck gives are utterly 'worthless, and at best do not prove anything. He states that the agH, gregate increase in the amount of wages paid in New York state were $6,000,000 annually. That may be true, and yet there would not necessarily be an increase in wages. Population increases 25 per cent, in a decade, and the increase for the year is therefore 8H per cent. That means 200,000 more workmen in New York state, and it was to them that the wages were paid. One reason for the increase of production in New York, if there was any, was a bountiful harvest in 1881 and a famine in Europe. The McKinley bill created neither of these, having no more to do with them than with the geography of the moon. The weakest part of the whole report, however, is that the manufacturers themselves prepared the figures from which Mr. Peck got his report. It was made public in ample time for us to refute it and it has already proved a boomerang. It certainly will not cause a split between the Cleveland and Hill democrats, because Hill had nothing to do with it. “What Peck's motives were in publishing the report I do not knqjv. lie may have been inspired by certaia influences to put it forth. While the republicans are gloating over this report it would be in order for the republican bureau of labor statistics in Illinois to publish something about the rise in wages in this state. Certainly if the McKinley biX 'does so well for New York it ought to show equally wonderful results here. The labor bureau in this state in 1832 was republican and the protective tariff vies then in force. On page 286 of its report for that year the report states regarding the condition of skilled laborers: ‘One-half of them (the skilled laborers) are not even able to earn enough for their daily bread,and have todepend upon the labor of women and children to eke out a m iserable existence.’ That is a republican report. Conditions to-day are just what they were in 1890, when the McKinley bill was condemned. They say the people were deceived then and that we lied about the tariff. The truth is. we didn’t tell half the injury the bill did.” _ _There is one thing that political prophets would do well to consider in this campaign, and that is that the modern system of high protection for industries abls and willing to pay for It has never been directly submitted to the vote of the American people but once.

TERRIBLY IN EARNEST. _ The Fire Islanders Determined that the Passengers from Cholera.Infected Ships Khali Not Land and Take Possession of the Retreat Provided for Them—They Are Not Moved, Even, by an Appeal to Their Manhood by Senator McPherson— A Terrlhle Situation. Fire Island, Sept. IS.—The people here appear to have lost' all sense of humanity. They have been appealed to in the name of God to permit the oldest women and youngest children to be taken to the hotel for the night .that their lives might be saved and have refused, with brutal jeers. Even this silica nightfall displays a degree of cruelty well nigh inconceivable^ After the Cephus came to anchor two police officers rowed to the landing and asked that a letter be taken to Dr. Wright The mob refused to allow the letter to come ashore and drove the police officers off with threats. As it was getting dark and no satisfactory answer hod arrived from the first boat a second boat put off from the steamer, rowed by two police. In the stern stood a tall, gray-haired man, Robert Thompson. As he approached the landing the mob gathered threateningly. He asked to be heard in behalf of the 200 women and children on the steamer who were suffering from exposure and exhaustion. After several minutes of insulting retoi-ts by jthe mob, he was allowed to speak. He said the men on the steamer did not ask to land. The young ladies would remain, if necessary, but the old women, some of them grandmothers, and the children, suffering, not, for comforts, but for decent care, should be allowed to land. They would be'returned to the steamer after a night’s rest and one meal. Attorney Williard P. Ried answered that if the captain of the steamer would come ashore, the people for whom he spoke would consider the request Mr. Thompson returned to the steamer after saying that he would attempt to tiring the captain back with him.

It was dark, except for the light ot the stars when the boat was seen pulling back to the landing again. When the boat almost touched the landing a tall, spare.figure was seen standing in the bow. “It is Senator McPherson, of New Jersey,” called out Mr. Thompson. Senator McPherson stood silent for some moments looking at the mob. “Citizens,” said the senator at last. “The captain declines to come here. If you will give your injunctions I give you my word of honor I will give them to him and he will accept them as legally served.” Attorney Ried simply replied that the captain must come ashore. “If we can bring him ashore will you agree to let these suffering, innocent^ helpless people land?” ! mob. “Thejj-rwfihot land,” yelled the Tftie senator turned his face up to the mob, and in an impressive voice “I appeal to you, men, in the na Kb to be longer led into cruelty by this attorney five yottr consent that t' md children be taken where they have nothing dace to sleep, where the comncies of life cannot be longer observed; where their surroundings are foul froun sea siekness.

Be men, It did nob seems as if human beings capable of understanding the language in which they tyere addressed coaid withstand the appeal, but the crowd stood there, sullen stud silent, while the lawyer said: “They cannot land; if we permit them we will give away onr /« “They cannot land,” the mob chimed n. Senator McPherson sank down in he boat overcome. When the boat was rowed back to the steamer, the newspaper men, who had is toned to this at once went to c nember of the Islip board who jresent and begged that this horrible :rime be not committed.
