Onpege soot this documeutthereis
printed a letter from M. Henry Petit,
the president of this French committee
for the repeal of the McKinley bill.
This letter is addressed to the chamber
of commerce and syndical chambers of
France. In it M. Pctit said:
I have the honor to inform you that the
French committee for furthering the abolition
of the HoKinley bill was completed Nov. it in
the sitting held at the Grand hotel.
This committee, organized to aid the
Democratic party to abolish the McKin-
ley bill, is intended to be a permanent
organization, and as appears from M
Petit’s letter is constituted asfollows:

members of the one society being oili-
core in the other, the two cooperating
in their cflorts to break down the bar-
riers which have hitherto protected the
American producer and. restricted the
privilege of these foreigners to sell their
products in our market.
These French manufacturers are per-
sonally represented in Washington,
their president, M. Pctit, saying that:
Our delmte. M. icon Choiteau. will attend
the legislative debates. give us an account at
the proceedings and eadeavorto get the de-
sireeand wishes which we have imparted to
him incorporated in the new law.
What do our Democratic friends who
claim to be and who are goodAmerican
citizens think of this proposition? This
information ought to arouse the Ameri-
can people to a sense of the danger that
titreatens their industrial institutions
and their markets by the adoption oi
this proposed Democratic free trade Wil-
son bill. Who will ever know the ex-
tent to which the wishes and desires at
these [bench and English manufactur-
ers have been incorpmattsi in this bill,
and at the suggestion or rcqntnt of their
representative, 3. Icon Cbotteau, who
is not their delegate only, and who dots

Virginia (Mr. Wilson) was worded
“much pleasure" by the letter received
from the representative of the English
and French bankers and manufacturers
andsays that heisglad to learn that

haps is not so remarkable as the hope
which he expresses as to the result of
their labors to reform and reduce the
existing system of turii! duties may be
successful. for he says, “I trust that the
results of our labors. "-—that is, the
united labors of this French committee
and the Democratic party in the United
States. There are many other facts re-
cited in this letter and the pamphlet re-
ferred to that would be of special inter»

employment that would materially aid

Our de arable Balance of Trade.
A free trader is nothing if not incon-
sistent. If we have a favorable balance
of trade, the tariff, he tells us, has
nothing to do with it. If we have an
adverse balance of trade, it is all due to
the “robber thrill.” But he hardly
knows how to explain our present excess
of foreign trade. No two free trade or-
gansexplain it alike, and yet the ex-
planation is simple. The McKinley law
has been in force between three and
four years, and as long as we are only
threatened with free trade so long will
our balance of foreign trade continue
favorable. Foreigners do uotcare toscll
so much in our market when they must
pay a high tariff, and they do pay it
now. But once the tarifl is taken of! the
balance in our favor will disappear in a
twinkling. Every foreign commercial
center is waiting mmt hopefully and on
pcctantly to dump its accumulated goods
on our shores. The following from the
Dublin Toll-gram is a sample of what
the foreign press is telling its readers:
”The time to be in the field is not
when the new tariff has been in opera-
tion some time, but on the first day that
it comes into play. The English and
Scotch and other woolen makers will
make a rush for premium But while
a favorable foreign trade balance is most
desirable it is insignificant comparui
with our home trade, of which We have
already lost bunch-«ls of millions of dol-
lars 'imtuuse ui’ llll‘t'lliilliut’l free trade.
Actual free trade means a loss of thou-
sands of millions Lot us continue to
protect our home market, and our for-
eign trad:- will take care of itself."—

He wee a littlfdum merchant. His
name was ism Lc'vlnberg. He was 9
years old, and he was ambitious. On a'
long, white, dusty road on a midsummer
day in the country his little personality
would not have been strikingly conspicu-
ous. You might have driven by in a coach
and four and not noticed him, though he
would have carried your magnificence in
memory long after the dust cloud from
your wheels had settled and you Were out
ofeight. Poor little chap, it was on no
broad country road, with only solitary .
coach to dodge, that his path of pleasure
or duty lay.
In the glare of blinding electric lights,
amid the din of clanglng alarm bells, on
slippery pavements ringing with the noise
of horses’ boots, he was—and there are
thousands of others like him—obliged to
keep one eye open for business and the oth-
er fer personal safety.
It was no leisurely. lumbering stage-
coach on a sandy road that was hearing

ed at Broadway . IId Thirty-second street,
but one of more great express wagons
drawn by spirited horses, where the driver
sits ’neatb a hooded canopy high up like a
king on a throne, and too often with a
king’s indifl’erence to the fate of ordinary
mortals. This particular wagon belonged
to the National Express company and was
driven by Patrick McNally. It was fol-
lowing close behind the car from which
the boy had jumped and at an equal rate
of speed.
Probably the newsboy mlscalculamd the

express horses and the rear of the cable

through—and goodness knows the merest
crack would seem to have radioed—but he

dise from under his arm and taming him
over like a tenpin. Even then his life
might have been saved had there been in
the mind of the driver any thought of the
sacreduces of human life and the lmpon
tance of guarding against its destruction.
But the driver’s thoughts were elsewhere
and—well, when tender hands lifted the
boy from under the wheels, his little head
was crushed, and it was seen that he was
mortally hurt. The driver was taken into
custody by Policeman McCormick.
This occurred just before 7 o'clock.
Broadway was not so crowded with pleas-
ure seekers as it would have been an hour
later. but there were still plenty of eyes to
be made wet by the spectacle as the small
bundle of expiring humanity was carried
into the up town office of The World. at
1267 Broadway, and laid on a bed of
newspapers that were spread out on the
floor. A hurried call was rung for an
ambulance. but before its arrival the boy
was dead Just as he died the door of the
office owned to admit a man whose face
was white with fear.

way into the crowded room, “theta newe-

The Paris Bomb Industry.
What is known in Paris as the “bomb
brougham" is a weird vehicle which has
been seen very frequently of late in the
streets of the French metropolis. When
an infernal machine is discovered. the
bomb bmugham is sent for, and the dan-
gerous concern gingerly deposited within
it. it is then driven off to the last home
of the anarchists’ abortive explosives. The
vehicle has a hooded seat and a body well
detached from it, hung on a perfect sys~
tom of springs. in fact, no monarch ever
traveled in greater comfort than does the
unexploded bomb. lie is considered to
the utmost degree, and his actual seat in
this array of indie rubber and delicate
springs is such that not the least jolt or
agitation can by any possibility upset his
uncertain temper. An smbllng and am
oient 1mm draws the bomb brougham,
and it is driven by a hale, middle aged
hero, who was once in the artillery. in
transporting this class of fare no little can-
tion is necessary. Lonely streets are ebo-
eeu for the bomb's journey; the police
know that vehicle when they see it and
sign to other vehicles to keep out of the
way, for a collision with the bomb brough-
am might scatter a deal of discomfort for
everybody concerned—New York Herald.
