T 7T1r p p i r il I lf iTENTH YEAR EARLINGTON HOPKINS COUNTY KENTUCKY THURSDAY MARCH 9 189Q NO 10 1 tIt d 0i TRIUMPHANT PROTECTION 1 J c True Significance of President 1r McKinleys Boston Speech Ijrom the Uoiton Journal 2 No President McKinley did not makes concessions on the tariff jLif or yield a jot or tittle of the dis J tinctive principles of the Home f Market Club during his visit to Boston Those newspapers which telj their readers that he did are en tfj gaged In a species of journalistic bunco game1n his speech be fore the Commercial Club thi lJ President said- WeareF S fast going from a debt t or to a creditor nation I hopi- nothing will check it We have f quit discussing the tariff and have 1t turned our attention to getting trade wherever it can be found Itb will be a long time before any L change can be had or any change desired in our present fiscal policy A except to strengthen it The dif fcrences on this question which ex c isted have disappeared for the time at least We have turntdj from academic theories to trade conditions and are seeking ou share of the worlds marketstSome of our contemporaries i with the instinct of the goldbrick men arc we regret to say citing the first three sentences and the list sentence of this paragraph as proof that President McKinley has abandoned protection to reach out for foreign markets But they I ignore or suppress the middle and t vital sentencethe real backbone s of the whole utterance It will be a long time before any change can be had or any change desired our fiscal policy except to strength en itThis is only another wayf of saying that instead of r abandoned the protective sys tem has become so impregnabict I that nobody dares or tack it This it is which has put i an end to tariff discussion Tills I i i it is which has caused differences to disappear This it is which has J extinguished academic theories Ar ho tariff has ceased to be debated because the distinctive ideathe American ideawhich William McKinley of all men most con epicuously stands for is wholly C victorious absolutely dominantjiE 1 f The past few months have I 4chnched its triumph by the stun ning demonstration which they have brought that it is not neces sary to lay aside the shield of pro i tection in order to reach out and lay hold of and conquer foreign I markets The Dingley Tariff has been vehemently denounced byn free tude doctrinaires whose acadoII emic theories are now as dead as t Ptolemy as the highest tariff II 70 Ithe worst Chinese wall thisI r couutry has ever had But the cold hard truth is as disclosed by the official treasury statistics that the first full year of this Chinese wall tariff has been characterized by tile largest total volume of for chin commerce and the largest volume of exports in our national history In the Dingley year 1898 we marketsitwelvemonth We sold more j manufactured articlesmore o ly finished products 0 fAdw mills and factories Of course this tremendous granitic fact hasJ i knocked right on the head that b most plausible of all plausible VVfrectrae theories that we muste k pull doour own Chinese wall In if we would gain entrance to the qVmarkets of foreign nations Andw course this has crushed out ofo A VVthe freetrade propaganda what lit tI tie lire was left in it after the two landslides oi 1894 and 1896p5 Of course with our L JirJ11ar ket secure against invasion we I are now seeking our share of the worlds markets Ofc course we 1 have quit discussing the tariff ands 1 I turned our attention to getting Wj trade wherever it can be foundhThere is just about as now of discussing the wisdom of protection as there is of discussing fif governI etaken for granted Both are bedc I rock axioms of American states mauship Protection has won itstJ t VVVV case won it

drifts and slides in the heart of the moun tains of Colorado tosee the worst of it and slip through the greatVsnow trap west of Leadville on one of the few trains that succeeded in getting over the range There is all the difference in the world between a drift and a slide A rotary snowplough will merrily bore its way through almost any drift but a slide brings down a mass of rocks and trees with

interesting incidents of the past when the generation was young came into THE BEE office yesterday repeating a coup let and handed the editor a dollar to pay his current subscription Uncle Oscar is not usually poetic and his talk in verse brought a ques tion in answer to which he said that as he came from home this old couplet popped into his head where it had first found lodgment more than forty years ago Come ye sinners poor and need Rich and ragged lean and fat yICome and pay ma what you owe me For your dollar Democrat It was the wording of subscrip tion dun sent out by the old Louis ville Democrat before the warr while Shad Penn was at the head of that paper And he said it reminded him Uncle Oscar didnt really have to be reminded but wouldnt it be good if the Kentucky Press Association had a poet who could write upon this subject a really living breathing poem not for TilE BEE subscribers They dont need it But some others do Coal Crisis Echos The following is quoted from the Nashville American of a recent dateDuring the recent extremely cold weath er from Februuy 10 to ao inclusive the Louisville and Nashville Railroad did a great piece of kindness to the people of Nashville The city was in the midst of a coal famine and unless fuel was supplied it was apparent theta would be great sot fering especially among the poorer classes Then it was the Louisville and Nashville Railroad came to the rescue Without any delay the company purchased 115 cars or 7000000 pounds of coal and shipped it here as fast as the swiftest freight engine could pallit- Tbl coal was disposed of to the dealers and then the latter ordered other coal brought In all the Louisville and Nash ville road brongbUn fiio carloads or 32 000000 pounds of coal The matter has been talked about generally among the merchants and citizens and the Louisville and Nashville Railroad is being commend ed on all sides forIts prompt and generous actionsIt a fact worthy of repetition all of which and more THE BEE has chronicled to the world as the happenings occurredthat the ut most energy of every coal operator and every coal miner of Hopkins and adjoining counties was exerted impelled by human sympathy to relieve the needs of the people who were without fuel in Nashville and other cities The coal men and miners and the railroad officials and men worked day and night and Sunday too to alleviate suffering and succeeded Unsafe Insurance Speaking with a Kentucky fire insurance man the other day an in teresting incident was brought out which illustrates the condition of affairs that will obtain in Kentucky if the respectable insurance companies now doing business in the State are driven out by the exces sive fines certain prosecuting attorneys are preparing to have assessed against these companies upon the charge of forming a trust Already in some counties of Kentucky a number of the best fire insurance companies have ceased business because of the fines imposed in the lower court A test case is in the Court of Appeals and a decision is expected in April The question of the safety of insurance secured through foreign brokers in companies not allowed topo business in Ken tucky under our laws enacted for the protection ol the assured will be an interesting one to property owners if indeed the companies now doing business in the State are forced to withdraw or to in crease rates gr self protection The incident is to the point This gentleman was a few years ago in charge of an agency in a southern city There was a large tack fac tory insured through the local agencies which was shut down with no immediate prospect of re suming operations The agents notified the owner of advance in rate because of the increasedrisk of carrying an idle factory The owner said he would not pay the rate and proceed d to buy the insurance he wanted through foreign brokers The factory burned and he did not collect over about fif teen per cent of the face of his policies The broker was irre sponsible and the location of two of the companies whose policies he had bought could not be found Their address was nowhere but on the worthless policies he had purchased to avoid paying an equitable rate fixed according to principles of the insurance busi ness as decided by the judgement of his own fellow townsmenIIt is a bad and attacks the interests of the business man and property owner as well as the insurance companies The farm ers as a class are not affected be cause the farmers of this section as class do not insure And a numI ber of fire insurance companies do not accept risks on farm property No one is pn ed from buying insurance Iron foreign brokers at whatever rate they may secure if they desire that kind of protection but it is to be hoped for the credit of the State and the protection of property that a creditable adjustment of the difficulty may be reached so that no Kentuckian may be forced to take this kind of insurance or non- eNIGHS r Ij AND BRAYS OF THE Utt 6DHP Hark from the Toombs tmd ch One day last week the Rev W C Wilson of Hanson was ob served slipping through our citVj avoiding the principal streets and sticking closely to back alleys and obscure routes He was driving an alleged cow whose physical condition was thinner than circus lemonade The semitone shadow which shin cast upon the earth looked like a lunar photograph of a crockery crate The Herald of the Cross ex plained to his friend who interro gated him regarding his suspicious movements that he had bought the cow down in Richland her appearance provedconclusively that she was raised on poor land and was driving her home that the reason he shunned the public streets of our city was his anxiety to avoid the hoss editor who he said would jeer him beyond human endurance upon his purchase and that he thanked his lucky stars and all the other celestial orbs in the firmament that he had successfully run the gauntlet without colliding with the dreaded man of nagsThe good brother came up to oufcity a few days later arid held a long conference with John Twy man in which he was fully in jjjructed as to the proper percent age of saw dust to put in bran and old brother Fox obligingly enlight ened him in regard to the requisite amount of gold dust to consti tute an emergent dose for a bo vine Now if the parson can se cure a stand or two of bees we can copfidently expect Hanson to become a small latter day Canaan and so abundant will be the flow of milk that the good citizens will either have to improvise an ark or flee to the adjacent hills of Shal erag for safety Here in tbe richest fields below The wbeat and tarts together grow And we always get we know not bow The thickest milk from the thinnest cow The effect of the imagination was tully exemplified here last Sunday afternoon in a way and manner that will be long remembered by many of our citizens During the afternoon it seems that Mrs Pauline Magenhetmer and Mrs Wm Day went up to the neW residence of Joseph Summers now in construction and in walk ing around the premises Mrs Magcnheimer trod upon a plank from which a sharp wire nail pro truded The nail entered her overshoe and the lady screamed In agony The plank was forcibly wrenched away and Mrs Day summoned help to assist the un fortunate lady home Qn the way she had to rest frequently and by the time she reached home the crowd of sympathizers numbered the entire population of that part of the city and the good lady de clared that her shoe was filled with blood Meanwhile a half dozen messengers whose eyes were hang ing out on stems were breath lessly rushing up and down the streets in search of medical aid Upon reaching her home the sym pathizing crowd laid the wounded lady upon the bed and under her special direction removed her shoe pausing often to allow her to vent her suffering in long drawn ex clamations of agony but to the astonishment of all and the utter consternation oi the lady who by this time was in the very throes of death not a scratch appeared The nail had done no damage except piercing her overshoe In traveling through this vale of tears Affliction on each hand appears From experience

underwriting earnings during 1899 which opened very expensively for the fire underwriters and Febru ary promises to show a serious ag gregate of losses likely to exceed any February for years Nearly all of the fires have been in wellin sured property and have taxed the underwriters very heavily Several companies concede that safar their losses have exceeded their gfpss premiums and this means

AMERICAN VS SPANISH MONEY Interesting Communication From Thos IL Flnley LA UNION CUBA teb ai 18994 Miss MAY FINLB- VEarlington Ky MY DEAR SISTBR1 take great pleasure in writing you a letter this beautiful sunshiny morning slating my whereabouts and how well I am enjoying the Cuban climate in February which reminds me very much of the first of June In Old Ken lucky We are still stationed at Union which is located in the center of the pro vince of Manlanzas about midway between the two coasts in a very beautiful level and fertile country in fact with tho exception of the vegetation it reminds me very much of the West in the United Slates One can stand an see lot many miles in any direction without seeing the crestof a bill or mountain and I wish to say before I proceed further that this is certainly a fins country in more ways than one Almost anything can be produced from the pumpkin of the United States to the pineapple of the tropics and when it comes to the produc lion of the sugarcane which grows with but little cultivation Cuba is surely in the lead and as capital must always follow the chief staples of a country many rich men from different parts of the world have in vested their money In large plants or mills which are located every four or five miles apartWe spend much of our time exploring the surrounding country and visiting the mills where sugar is manufactured by the thou sands ot pounds dally and nearly always return with as much as we feel like carry ing then follows syrupmaking losnch an extent that we have sugar molasses till we are tired of it So you can imagine bow well we are living in Cuba where tbe weather is warm with sugar plentiful and potatoes growing in a state of nature like wila morning glories Some of the boys say they dont like these sweet potatoes because they are volunteers In traveling over this country that has been the subject of so much discussion during recent years one sees many things that reminds him of Spanish misrule For instance all the Catholic convents and such as bar racks have been demolished so that no fleeing natives could take refuge in them but the most attractive scene are thojropi cal gardens which are so beaufitul that one almost has to slop and wonder what was the Garden of Eden compared with thisIn order that you may be able to fully appreciate the description of these places that are far more attractive to the eye than anything I have ever seen yon must draw considerably on your imagination They are nearly always located near a beautiful palace that is owned by some rich Spaniard or some high class Cuban In them one can see many fountains of clear water with fish of almost every color imaginable surrounded by tropical flowers and fruits The orange tree loaded down with fruit the cocoanut tree the lemon the almond bananna pine apple and many other trees that are found in the tropics besides many vegetables that grow in our country I will now tell you something of the na tives who are distinguished from each other by their color as they know each other by certain names will call to mind some of themvi viz Blanco or white Negro or black Mulatto and Cubano Espano which means a SpaDl rdwbo sympathizes with the Cubans They are somewhat treacherous but always say when in the presence of the Americans Americano much a wano which means the American is all right but they never do as they wish to be done by They take our money and give 130 Spanish for our dollar but never in this world will they give an American dollar for 130 Spanish money The fact of the bnsines is they retrying to corner all the American money Their custom reminds me very much of what I have read of Jerusalem in her Palmiest days The question of going back to the Slates is Help

certain prosecuting Attorneys in Kentucky bring about wholesale indictments of nil fire insurance companies doing business in the State b nd to prosecute them upon the charge of having formed trust nd the attempt to fine all such companies under a law that imposes heavy penalties which would tax them so severely as to drive from the State is attracting widespread attention and comment A number of fire insurance corn anics have decided to suspend in the sections where they ave been indicted and fined Gen olin B Castleman who isthc h ead of one of the strongest insurance agencies in the South has set forth his views in a letter of recommendation to the Kentucky and Tennessee Board of Fire Un- crwriters He saysaLouisville Ky Feb 24 1899E J Walklns Esq Secretary Kentucky and Tennessee Board of Fire Underwriters Louisville KyDear Sir The Insurance In Kentucky are so extraordinary to make it necessary that serious atten tion of the companies should be given For a number of years Ibe companies have cooperated to better the fire hazard by se curing better building construction and better fire protection with a view to less ening the fire loss and thereby diminishing the rate of premium This is a public dutyI because it lessens the waste which comes om losses by tire which most people do ot seem to appreciate is an obliteration f properly This can not be done except upon a basis involving uniformity of ached ales This being doaethen the business open to more than one hundred compet rs Inno sense dots such action justify one In considering It as a trust If the combined capital wera under one manage eat preventing competition and operated t trusts are operated the charge of being irust m i ght be warranted but all intelli ent people know that is not true Notwithstanding this however certain officials of Kentucky have laid themselves open to the charge of using official position or Ihi purpose of pandering to Ignorance nd prejudice and have secured under he common law indictments against there insurance companies engaged In busi ess in Ibe Commonwealth Such proce dure is fraught with the gravest danger to he people In respect to the fire insurance Uanles it has found expression in In dictments and in Ibe trials in Franklin and Scott where penalties have been 1mI poed oa the cqmpaaiefl tot what they con siderlo have been a service rendered to Ibe people- A great many people do not understand that all the fire insurance expendiinreas in every other business must be borne by the Income that if the expenses and fire losses lire paid from the capital no capital will ong stand as a guaranty of safety The premium alone must pay all such outgo Its not right where extraordinary expenses are levied by action of the people to charge hat expense to people who have not par- icipated in imposing penalties In the county of Scott at Georgetown where the income is about 20000 per aDI Dam a jury during the present weeknnder the advice of the Court and Common wealths Attorney levied penalties amount to 24000 against the fire insurance protecting property in that com munity It is necessary therefore that the people who impose these penalties hall be made to pay for them and I re spectfully recommend an increase of 100i per cent in rates upon all risks in Scott county In Franklin county the penalties imposed amount to a very large per cent of the income of that county and the city f Frankfort and I respectfully recom m ni that the rates current in Frankfort nd Franklin county be increased 50 per ent those increases to take effect from and after March 10 proximo Respectfully submitting the above I have the honor to be dear sir your obedi ent servant JOHN B CASTLKMA N A prominent fije insurance corn pany writing in respect to the com dition of affairs in Kentucky mattes the following comm ntluWc have7 already taken action suspending our agency at Versailles from and after March a It seems to us an oversight that nil the companies do not suspend their agencies at Frankfort Georgetown and Paris It is too bad that the companies as a whole do not pull out of the State Kentucky has been a sink ole for

part of his parents This Is what our Lord says Ho docs not say that his parents were not sin port needing n Saviour but Ho does say that this affliction of having a blind son was not n judgment upon

it is God who workoth In the olny wo hare the dust of tho ground and His Eplttlo something of earth nnd something of God Is not a saved sinner just thnt something human something divine And wo are His

15 The striking characteristics of both these psalms is the absence of oxclnslve ness from them Tim Jewish church as well as the Jewish nation was restricted and exclusive It was not a mission ary church It did no missionary work It looked upon tbo other nations of tho world as enemies of God who wero to be overcome and destroyed by Jehovah But In those psalms n differ ent spirit prevails Therearo norcstrio Lions no exclusiveness In the ono the nations of tho world aro pictured navel untarily and submissively coming to Zion and in the other the whole earth Is called upon to glorify God and to serve God ns tbo common creator and father of man These psalms are Mes elanio and their prophecies have been and are being fulfilled Tho gates of Zion because of their prominence stand for Zion itself and Zion tho holy bill of Jerusalem for the church of God and now tho church of Christ 1 The love of God for Christs church is hero emphasized The Lord loveth tho gates of Zion moro than all the dwellings of Jacob It Ho loves it not only above the dwellings of the heathen nations but the other dwellings of Is rael Gods love for His church is con itantly recognized in the Scriptures Tbp JOVB of Christ for the church is also prnpbasjzec in His word The regard of God and pf Christ for time church needs to be made emphatic today Tho world at onetime deified the church It exulted it above and beyond Its true char acter Today it tends to the opposite extreme The tendency is to belittle the church Many have tbo idea that God nan be worshiped and Christ can bo served equally well while tho church is ignored Gods Jove for the church shows this to impossible Wo cannot ignore and neglect that which God loves without offending him If the church is worthy of Gods best love it is worthy of our best love and service 2 The worldwi do character of tho church is hero maintained Heathen nations como to Zion and find in her p now birth and a now life Cbrieti church is a worldwIde church It has n placo within its doors for Jew and gen tile Greek and barbarian wise nnd unwise bond and free Its cords are to be lengthened until the whole earth is in closed It is our business to assist in tho glorious work and it is not to be abated until the whole earth is filled with the glory of tho Lord 0 Tho importance character and cause of worshiping God in His house aro suggested Wo aro commanded to enter His Rates with thanksgiving to worship Him cheerfully and gladly for His goodness His mercy and His truth Christs church should bo the pride and joy of our lives For Christs
