NOT In last Saturday's Palladium at tention was called to the harm the high protective tariff of this country is causing to manufacturers through out the nation. The proposed erection of a new plant in Canada by Oaar, Scott and Company, was an example used to show how this harm anniies locally. The trouble lies right here. Protection in this coun try protects the producers 01 raw materials to the detriment of the producei's of finished products. The condition of the shipbuilding industry in the United States affords an excellent example of this fact.' . The Steel trust is an enormous producer of both raw and finished products in iron and steel, and is heavily protected by Jthe tariff. Therefore ship builders have to pay an exorbitant price for materials, a fact which causes American built ships to be much more expensive than those built in foreign countries. The American ship builders . propose to overcome this objection by means of a government subsidy for all American built vessels. But this is no remedy for existing conditions, it is simply an attempt on the part of several high protected industries to bribe the ship builders with government money, not to raise an outcry for tariff revision. Gaar, Scott and Company, according to the proposed plan for relieving the ship builders, would have the right to ask the government to repay them the import duties on every threshing outfit they ship to Canada. For Gaar, Scott and Company, like the ship building companies, is compelled to procure the greater part of its raw material from the Steel trust. From the above it is pretty clear that it is the "highly protected producer of

raw materials who are advocating a "fitful pet" platform in regard to

the tariff, and not the manuitfarers of finished products. A tariff defeats its purpose when it affords raw material producers an opportunity to collect an unjust profit from the manufacturers of finished products, and as the present tariff in this country is plainly of such a nature, it ought to be revised.

KThe committee was instructed to go ahead and- do whatever it thought to be the most- advisable thing. ; , - , In a discussion as to whatthe Society could do to promote the Rich mond Centennial, it was thought that the best thing would be f or tlje.

4 -5 A COMPANY FOR MAKING PLOWS JOHN FOULKE WILL PUT HIS INVENTION ON THE MARKET SOON. CAPITAL STOCK OF $25,000 Plant Will Be Known as Empire Plow Company Local Capitalists Interested. " John Foulke, of South Sixteenth street, a weirknoW'n mail clerk on the Grand Rapids and' ' 'Indiana Ry.,- is completing nis plans fo'form a stock company to manufacture'"' his 'newly invented jpTdw. According to '" Mr Foulke, Richmond will soon have a manufacturing plant which will put on ; the. market the newest and most improved plow' that is being manufactured Mr. Foulke has been working on the plow for several years, and has finally patented a convertible implement which can be made to do the work of five different plows. It is to be made for use in gardens and truck patches, and farmers and hardware men who have seen the plow say that it is an excellent implement. The inventor has received several offers for his patent, and capitalists in Eaton and other cities in the neighborhood have offered to form a stock company and manufacture the plow. It is probable, however, that a - company will be incorporated here with a capital stock of 25,0000, under the name of the Empire Plow Company. Mr. foulke also owns the ma chines which were formerly used in the manufacture of the old "Em pire ' ' plow,' which . at one time was the most famous "breaking" plow in the country. This implement may also be made, in connection with the garden plow. FOUNTAIN CITY WINS AGAIN.

DID NOT MAKE THE ASCENSION INTERESTING RECOLLECTION OF THE BALLOON ASCENSION FIFTY YEARS AGO.

CONCERNS WM. R. HOLLOWAY if i.. - Now Famous Consul Was To Have , i Accompanied the Aeronaut, But He Backed Out. iA reader of the Palladium has written to the paper desiring to make a correction in regard to the account of a balloon ascension which took place fifty years ago, from the public sauare. which was then where the First ward school now tands. ..The account stated that the aero naut descended to earth in his para chute. : The writer says this point is wrong, as parachutes were not then in" use. The writer then continues about the " ascension as follows: I was one of the great crowd that witnessed the then wonderful event which had been pretty thoroughly advertised, and to make the occasion one of greater interest, small dodgers were freely circualated giving the hour and place where the show would be pulled off, and the astounding information that a prominent citizen of Richmond would accompany the aeronaut in his trip, among the clouds. And it was whispered among the knowing ones, that the, prominent citizen mentioned was Wni. R. Holloway, who was then connected with the Palladium afterwards Gov. Morton's private secretary, and for many years consul at St. Petersburg and now consul at Halifax. Mr; Holloway, however, did not accompany,, the man in his aerial flight, which took place, promptly on time. The balloon ascended almost straight up for five or six hundred feet, then gracefully floated higher still and off to the southeast. The balloonist leaned over the edsre of his basket and waved his plug hat to the vast audience nelow. Hundreds of men on horseback and in buggies followed on the run f down the Boston pike where the balloon descended, some three-, mijes from the city. LANDIS LEADING It!

' ", : - :,JSipy The city has been in a political . tttj;;. moil all day over the Landis coup last night and the party here is badly torn up. John M. Johnson, of Logansport, the Landis manager, was in the city this morning and said that Congressman Landis would repudiate the action of John S. Glenn in bolting the harmony agreement to divide the county, and that if Mr. Landis did not get the nomination without Huntington county, he would not expect more than half. Later he left - the city, saying it was impossible to do anything , in the present excited statew, . ':" . ' Want ads in Paladium paya.

OXFORD FEELS

EFFECT OF LID NO SALE MADE OF ANYTHING THAT WAS ; NOT ABSOLUTELY NEEDED. HOTEL KEEPER IS VERY ANGRY It is Thought Sentiment Will Change And Town Will Become Wide Open Again. v (Palladium Special.) "Oxford, O., Feb. 25. Oxford was closed up as tight as a drum today. The bakeries, the cigar stores, the fruit stores, the candy stores and other places of business ",. did absolutely no buiness. ' . The restaurants were allowed to serve three meals but no ice cream was allowed to be disposed of. It has been stated in press dispatches that it was the intention of the city officials to prevent the selling of milk, the delivery of ice and numerous other things. These statements proved untrue. Mayor Tom King stated today that lit was not the purpose in placing the lid on Oxford to prevent necessary labor, that the action was taken solely to prevent unnecessary labor. The man who was most affected by the clampink on of the lid was William Koon, proprietor of the hotel. He .was prohibited from selling cigars and newspapers. All , newspapers read by the people of Oxford today were purchased on the streets. Keen is extremely angry but the majority of the people are satisfied. Some citizens are of the opinion that the enforcement of the Sunday lid ordinance will , re-act, and that the town, which is now "dry," will go "wet" at the next election, a year hence. ASKS FOR A DIVORCE MRS. CARTWRIGHT SAYS HEI HUSBAND IS CRUEL. Her Case Excited Pity as She is But 1 . Nineteen and Very . J Frail:'Mrs. Ruby Cartwrighf "filed 6uit for divorce fro.m Otto ,Cajrtwright in . the circuit court Saturday, morning, alleging cruel and inhuman treatment. From her looks, it would 'be " the," height of-barbarism for her husband to have been cruel to her, as she is afrail woman, but nineteen years old . and has two small children. Cartwright joined the army to forget his marital troubles, and left the members of his family to shift for themselves. The mother allowed one child to be adopted a few days ago, and the other she says she can provide for. Owing to her poverty, a motion was made to keep the costs of the case as low as possible.
