The flames conquered, a tour of inspection followed which revealed the most wantom destruction ot property.

They took off the 'pet cocks' from steam wrenches, stole the brass casing off the engine cylinder, ripped up in some places and burned them in otnera. Even the steering wheel und the pinnacle and compass were stolen. In a word, the vefsel was completely gutted. The pirates had stolen what to them would not b'ring more than a coup of hundred dollars, but it cost the owners of the ship $30 000 to restore the damaged portions. "Well, Capt.

Captain Shujp is about forty-three years old, is big ana brawny, and from the expression ot his face, one can see I hat he is not a man to be trifled with.

Tariff Proved to Not Advanced llu- ufHCt.ured The McKinley tariff act has hardly been in operation long enough to show all its good features, but in the fchort time of its i-IEectivenes-; many of the supposed to loudly and widely complained of by the democrntic political alarmists have been provnl to bave existed only ill their partisan imaginations. The law went into effect October 6,1890, and on the30lh of Junu last had in operation few days shoit. of nine months. Tbo official bulletin of the bureau of statistics of the troatury department issued at that date showed that the- total valun of imports of merchandise during the mouths of the new tariff was During the corresponding period of 1889-90 the total value was 8598.769.305. This shows nn increase of imports under the new law the old oue for the nine months of 831,406,695.

Thus it be seen tt.at the ports of the United States are not closed against the manufactures of foreign countries and that; the law is not a. ABANDONKD FARMS. llitllonnl Explanation of (lie Came for Tliclr KxlMttnco One of the stock arfruments of thoie who maintain that the tariff oppresses the former is the tale of abandoned farms in manufacturing New England. The Massachusetts bureau of labor statistics bis given to the public lull chapter of interesting information on that It finJs that nbandoned farm subjpct. hind in Massachusetts is principally confined to the western counties.

Such lund aggregates 3.45 per cent, of the total farm acreage! of the state nnd los-s than one per of the total form value. The scrape value por acre of the abandoned land is only 86.40; which proves it to be poor hind. The abandonment of this land, however, is not an abandonment of agriculture 1 but simply n. iriinsfer to better 'alues farm land i-how un inortsise just The report on this point to the cruelty of their parents or guardians, and of little boys and girls every vear ran away from their homes at points outside the city, the conductor passing themalonL' when they say thuy have no money.

An ofEcer-who has charge of atraj children makes this statement: "There are hundreds of parents in ISen, York who purposely put their children a- tray in the streets. A mother, fatner 01 guardian sets out for the ferry, bound for some out of town, acd when a police station is nfared, the guardian Or parent ttopt some in the street and says, 'I have found thii child in the street; will you tate it to the station, as I have to catcb tho ferry at The child is too little to explain, and is led oS by the stranger to the station, where it is registered: This thing," the officer continued, "is done to such an extent that it has become a nuisance to the police department. Of course, when the parent or guardian returns, the child is reclaimed, and manj fictitious tears are shed and false given to the little ono." JAY GOULD is ill from over work.

The says: Notwithstanding the exigence of abandoned farms, evich county except shows an increa-si! tince 1875 in the value of agricultural pro.lucts and every country fhbws un inr.renie in the value of agricultural properly. In some counties, iiiso, an iniTeafe in the acreage ot land uniipr cultivation appears. The report takes up the caui 77 different localities 52 show number of abandoned farms, than existed years ago. In fuct, during trie low period" preceding the war the condition was much the same Or worse. Tbe report contains a portion of an address de- ivered in Western lliissachuselts 33 years ago.

It makes interesting reading: Where are the one.c prosperous families that occupied the farms above the fcundry village? Where are tbe 28 families that lived in thrift on Catamount their dairies and stock a.nd scholars, when I came to this town? Except now and then a single family, bold- i'lgonlikea shipwrecked to a lonely rock in the great ocean, all are gone. Where is that long line of noble farmers that -were so industrious and prosperous, extending from North River over Christian Hill, to the Green mountains, and those cattle drovers and merchants that did more business than all the in a western, towns today? All are (rone. This address was delivered in 1858, toward the close of the low tariff period which began in 1846. "If the evil is not hive also proved true another claim the that, as a whole, tbe tariff on manufactured articles was not advanced, but diajinisbed by the new law. The figures show what proportion of the imports were entered free and -what were tared during the corresponding months under both the new and the old laws.

During the nine months ending; June 30, 1E91, the foreign goods admitted free of cliru-ga were'valuad at 8295,993,665. During 1890, the value of freo imports was increase of tree importations in favor of the new law of $37,009.792. The foreign goods which wera dutiable under tbe new law during that period were valued at and under the old luw for the corresponding time $389.783,.032. This shows a decrease in the value of merchandise paying dutv under the new law of $55.543,692. In other under the new law 46 9-10 percent of the value of all our imports came in free, while a corresponding period of the old law showed only 39 9-10 percent, of the value of the imporH were on the free lift.

It is seen plainly how stitistics flatly contradict the assumptions and statements made by the enemies of McKinley act. This remarkable showing of the much abused tariff and the magnificent results achieved by the admini-itiation in iU reciprocity treaties must commend this polity to all classes of voters who have tbe good of the country at and surely points to a spltndid victory in the next pTesideutial election.
