E. D. CRUM PACKER,

Chairman, Com. O’Sullivan, Coughlin and Burke* the Cronin murderers, landed in the Illinois penitentiary, Tuesday night. . ELunze gets, a new trial. . ■— —• —-.**» Considering the extent and the persistency; with which- the enemies of protection have howled about the “Bobber Barons” who it is claimed have grown rich off the proceeds of protected industries, it is » surprising fact, but no less surprising than truthful, as Mr. Blaine points out'ia his great article iu the January North Ameri-j can Review, in answer to Mv.l Gladstone, that of the 50 greatest fortunes in this country, those that have attracted:* public attention during the last ten years, not more than one has beeii derived from protected manufactures. And that one, Mr. Blaine might have added, was amassed by Andrew Carnegie, of Pittsburg, the mau w hom Yoorlieee wants to hang, but who is the most generous and public spirited wealthy man in the country, and whose treatment of his employes contrasts like light with darkness, as compared with such eminent free traders as Coal Baron Scott, for instance. The ether forty-nine greatest fortunes were acquir d from railroad and telegraph investments, from real-estate investments, from the import aDd sale of foreign goods, from banking, fiom speculations iu the stock market, from mining, from inventions and from proprietary medicines. And, as Mr. Blaine truthfully adds, it is safe to go even further than thip, and to say that »f the IUO great fortunes which have u'Jrucbd attention in this country during the last 10 years, not more than five have been derived from the piofits of protected industries.
