VALUE OF DYNAMITE.5
The Many Useful Purposes Wblob
'It Serves.
Barmleaa and '8afe to Handle If Freeaa-
tlona Are Taken Both Beat and
- Ferenaafon Needed to Explode
It Mektaoda of Man of act are.
Dynamite is a name that, to the ma
jority of people, is synon jrmous with
murder, ruin and anarchy. In reality
ia a "very safe and useful commodity
when properly handled, and will not
explode except under peculiar condi
tions. When a match is applied it will
merely burn and sizzle as the ordinary
red fire does, says the Providence Jour
nal, and ninety-nine times out of a
hundred it may be thrown from the
top of a building; without doing any
harm. To explode the substance there
must be the heat and concussion com
bined, and this can be obtained only by
the use of the dynamite cap or fulmin
ate of mercury, discharged either by a
lighted fuse or by the passage of an
electric current.
The explosive substance itself is a
mass of sawdust or lamp black soaked
in nitro-glycerine. Either of these two
preparations is called dynamite. There
is another, the latest explosive yet in
vented, which is obtained by mixing
the nitro-glycerine with gelatine, or
any suitable glutinous substance.
This is called forcite, and has the
double advantage over dynamite of be
ing safe to handle and more effective
in its working. The dynamite is made
up in sticks or cartridges, generally of
half a pound weight, and held in hol
low pape r cylinders eight inches long
and one and a quarter inches in diame
ter. For shipment these sticks are put
up fcrst in ten-pound packages, and
then five of these packages are placed
in a strong wooden case, and in that
bulk they are sent out from the facto
ries to the selling agents. It is not
brought here by train, and neither is
ordinary gunpowder, for that matter,
because none of the railroads which
run freight lineB in Providence will
carry any kind of explosives. But the
dynamite is brought as far as Acton,
Mass., in the freight cars, and then
carried from there in four-horse teams.
It takes the team a day and a half to
make the trip, and the selling parties
pay the cartage. Of course there is
more or less of the stuff smuggled in
here by train; sometimes it comes
marked as snap or some equally harm
less commodity, and the freight hand
lers throw it around accordingly, and
very frequently workmen who are going
a short distance by train out of town to
do some blasting take enough with
them in a valise to cause a full-fledged
modern railroad horror if it should
go off.
In the retail stores, where the dyna
mite is for hale, there is no unusual
precaution taken in the storing of it.
It Is kept under the counter or on the
shelves, very much the sumo as com
mon salt Is; Only the dealer is very
careful to keep his dynamite cartridgea
atone end of the store and the dyna
mite cups at the other. The latter is
the more dangerous of the two, and it
when they are brought together
Hint dynamite is a most excellent
thing to keep tnvuy from. It Is the cap
ttnd the cartridge that are so often con
founded in the accounts of explosions,
eo. The prevailing idea about Anar
chist Llngg's death is that he exploded
cartridge in his mouth; instead it
was the much smaller but just as dead
ly cap.
The explosive retails for anywhere
from twenty-five t sixty cents a
pound, according to the percentum of
iiitro-glyecrlne with the sawdust or
luiiipliluck. The uses to which the
dynamite Is put In everyday work on
the farms, leilt.es and hlirhwavs are
ninny, for sliuplt .-ock blasting, remov
ing bowlders, lircuklng up Iron, clear
ing tree stump and shuttering ice and
frown ground. It has Wen frequent
ly used at Ilencdict pond, where its ex
plosion under water, after a drowning
accident, has brought to the surface
some Ixxly that could not be aeenred

REPUBLICAN
FLflTFORm.
Full Text of the Declaration
of Principles.
The Uepabiicaoa of the United States,
assembled by their representatives in
oational convention, appealing for popu
lar and historical justification of their
claims to the matchless achievement of
80 years of Republican rale, earnestly
and confidently address themselves to
the awakened intelligence, experience
and conscience of their countrymen in
the following declaration of facts and
principles:
For the first time Binoe the oivil war
the Amerioan people have witnessed tbe
calamitous consequences of full and un
restricted Democratic oontrol of tbe
government. It has been a record of
unparalleled incapacity, dishonor and
disaster. In administrative management
it has ruthlessly sacrificed indispensible
revenue, entailed an increasing deficit,
eked out ordinary onrrent expenses with
borrowed money, piled np the public
debt by 9262,000,000 in time of peace,
foroed an adverse balance of trade, kept
perpetual menace hanging over tbe re
demption fund, pawned Amerioan Credit
to alien syndicates and reversed all the
measures and resnlts of snooessfal Re
publican rule. In the broad effeot of its
polioy it has precipitated panio, blighted
industry and trade with prolonged de
pression, dosed factories, reduced work
and wages, baited enterprise and crip
pled Amerioan production while stimu
lating foreign production tor the Ameri
oan market. Every consideration of
public safety and Individual interest
demands that tbe government shall be
rescued from tbe hands of those who
have shown themselves inoapable to
con d not it without disaster at borne and
dishonor abroad, and shall be restored to
the party whiob tor 30 years admin
istered it with no equaled success and
prosperity; and In this connection we
heartily indorse the wisdom, patriotism
and suooess of tbe administration of
President Harrison.
THE TABIFP.
We renew aod emphasize oar alle-
gisooe to tbe policy of protection as tbe
bulwark of Amerioan industrial inde
pendence and tbe foundation of Ameri
can development and prosperity. This
rue Amerioan policy taxes foreign pro
ducts and encourages borne industry and
puts Ibe burden of revenue on foreign
goods; it seoures tbe Amerioan market
for tbe Amerioan producer; it upholds
the Amerioan staodard ol wages for tbe
Amerioan workingmen ; it pots the fac
tory by tbe side of tbe farm, and makes
the Amerioan farmer less dependent on
foreign demand and price; It diffuses
general thrill, and founds the strength
ol all on the strength of eaoh. In Us
reasonable application it is just, fair and
Impartial, equally oppoatd to foreign
conlrol and domeatio monopoly; to see
tiuoal diacriminatioa and Individual
favoritism. W denonnee tb prevent
democratic tariff as sectional. Injurious
to public credit aod destructive to bust-
oeas enterprise. We demand sob
tqottable tariff on foreign Imports which
com into competition with Amerioao
products aa will not only forniab ade-
qnsl rev no lor tbe neoeeeary tipeo
tee of tb government, bot will protect
Amenrao tabor from tb degradation lo

W condemn tb present administra
tion for not keepiog faith with the sugar
producers of this country. Tbe Repub
liosn party favors such protection as will
lead to the production on Amerioan soil
of all sugar wbioh Amerioan people nee
and for wbich they pay other eountriee
more than $100,000,000 annually.
WOOIi AND WOOLENS.
To all our products, to those of mine
and field as well as those of tbe shop
and factory; to bemp, to wool, to tbe
product of the great industry husbandry,
as well as to finished woolens of the
mill, we promise most ample protection.
MEBOHANT MARINE.
We favor restoring tbe early Amerioan
polioy of discriminating duties for tbe
upbuilding of our merobant marine and
tbe protection of our shipping interests
in tbe foreign-carrying trade, to Amer
ican ships the product of American
labor employed in Amerioan shipyards,
tailing under tbe rJtars and Stripes, and
manned, officered and owned by Amer
icansmar regain the carrying of our
foreign commerce.
ITOANOIAIi PLANK.
Tbe republican party is unreservedly
for sound money. It oaused the enaot
ment of the law providing for tbe
resumption of specie payments in 1879;
since then every dollar has been as good
as gold.
We are unalterably opposed to every
measure calculated to debase our cur
rency or impair tbe oredit of our coun
try. We are, therefore, opposed lo tbe free
coinage of silver, ezoept by International
agreement with the leading commercial
nations of the world, which we pledge
ourselves to promote, and until suoh an
agreement can be obtained, tbe existing
gold standard must be preserved. All
of our silver and paper currency now in
circulation -must be maintained at a
parity with gold, and we favor all meas
ures designed to maintain inviolable the
obligatione of tbe United States and all
our money, whether oolo or paper, at tbe
present standard the standard of the
most enligbteoed nations of tbe earth.
AS TO PENSIONS. '
The veterans of tbe Unioo armies de
serve and should receive fair treatment
aod generous recognition. Whenever
praotioable they should be given prefer
ence in the matter of employment and
they are entitled to tbe enactmeut ot
sucb laws as are best calculated to ee-
oure the fulfillment ot pledges made to
them in the dark days of the oountry'e
peril. We denounce tbe praotioe in tbe
pension bureau, so recklessly aod un
justly oarried on by the present adminis
tration, of reduoitg pensions and arbi
trarily droppiog names from the role as
deserving tbe severest condemnation ot
the Amerioan people.
ou a pobeion policy.
Our foreign policy should be at all
times firm, vigorous aod dignified, and
all our interests in tbe western beml
phers carefully watched and guarded.
The Hawaiian Islands should be controll
ed by tbe United States, aod no toreigo
power should b permitted to interfere
with them; tbe Nicarsgua canal should
be built, owned and operated by tbe
Doited Stales; and by Ibe purcbaa of
tb Danish island w should seour a
proper and much oeeded station In the
West ladle.

liberty. Tbe government of Spain hav
ing lost oontrol ot Cuba and being unable
to protect the property or lives of resi
dent American citizens or to comply witb
its treaty obligations, we believe the
government of the United States should
actively use its influence and good i ffi
oes to restore peace end give indepen
dence to tbe island.
THE NAVY.
Tbe peace and security of the repnblio
and the maintenance of its rightful in
fluence among the nations of the earth
demand a naval power commensurate
witb its position and responsibility. We,
therefore, favor oontinued enlargement
of tbe navv and complete system of bar
bor and seacoast defenses.
POBBIGN IMMIGRATION.
For the protection of tbe quality of our
Amerioan oitizensbip and of wages of
our workingmen against the fatal com
petition of low prioed labor, we demand
that tbe immigration laws be thoroughly
enforced and so extended as to exclude
from entranoe to the United States those
who can neither read nor write.
CIVIL bbbviob.
The oivil service law was placed on
the statute books by the republican
party, which has always sustained it,
and we renew our repeated declarations
that it shall be thoroughly and honestly
enforced and extended wherever praoti
oable. FBEB BALLOT.
We demand . that every oitizen of the
United States shall be allowed to oast a
free and unrestricted ballot, and such
ballot shall be counted and returned as
oast.
LYNCHING.
We proclaim our unqualified condem
nation of the uncivilized and barbarous
praotice known as the lynching or killing
of human beings suspected or obarged
with orime, without process of law.
NATIONAL ABBITBATION.
We favor the creation ot a national
board of arbitration to settle and adjust
the differences wbioh may arise between
employers and employed engaged in in
terstate oommeroe.
HOMESTEADS.
We believe in tbe immediate return
to tbe free homestead olicy of the Re
publican party, and urge the pseasge
by congress ot tbe satisfactory free
homestead measure wbich bae already
passed tbe bouse and is now pending
in the senate-
TERBITOBIES.
We favor the admission of Ibe remain
ing territories at tbe earliest praotioable
date, having du? regard to the interest of
the territories and tbe United Slate. All
federal officers appointed for territories
should be selected from bona fide resi
dents thereof, aod the right of self-govern
ment eboo'd be aocorded a far as prac
lioabl. We believe tbe citizen ot Alas
ka should nave representation in the
congreaa of tbe United States to the end
that needed legislation may be intelli
gently enacted.
TEMPEBANCB.
We eympathize with all wise and le
gitimate efforts to leisea and prevent tbe
evils of intemperance and promote mor
ality.
HIOIITS OP WOVEN.
1: Ilepublioao party 1 miod'ul ot
tbe right of women. Protection of
