SATU 11DAY, MAY 9, 1891

DEMOCRATS were not in it Tuesday.

WHEN Republicans get on their fighting harness they mean business.

THE opponents of the McKinley bill are slow to believe that it is sugarcured.

R. C. SMITH 115, Win. A. Vanarsdall 65, Jefferson W. Scott 107. How is that for high?-

OWING to the failure of European crops the price of wheat promises to be higher than for many years.

TIIE Farmers' Alliance of Minnesota added 81,000,000 to the tax burdens of the farmers of that State and that was all they did do.

Two in'NDKED and sixty seven"" millions of the public debt paid off in two years. This statement tells the Btory of the "disappearance of tho surplus' that worries Democratic organs.

EXPERIMENTS with free delivery at small towns have been so successful that Postmaster General Wanamaker thinks the time not far distant when the system may be applied to tho whole country.

MM, MILLS says: "You can't/3"sell abroad unless you buy abroad." Mr. McKinley proves, by facts and figures, that during tho last fifteen years we have sold §2,000,000,000 more than the have bought abroad. This is not tho first time that market truths have killed freetrade maxims. .•

THE outlook to tho American farmer is bright enough to give the Rejrablicans a rousing majority in every Western State which has an election this year. In Europe tho chances are that the wheat crop of 1891 will be small, while the indications point to an unusually heavy one in this country.

THE "tariff is a tax" croakers will be delighted to know that wo imported 800,000 kegs of wire nails from England in tho year 1883 to 1889, and paid more than eighty cents a pound for them, we last year made 3,500,000 kegs of own, and furnished them to our own people for the sum of 2 cents and eighty five hundredths of a cent per pound.

UNDEII the provisions of tho McKiney tariff act beginning May 1, all special taxes imposed upon dealers of leaf tobacco, dotilers in manufactured tobacco, manufacturers of tobacco and cigars, and upon peddlers of tobacco are repealed. Tho law, however requires that these various classes of dealers shall register their names and places of bus iness, with the local collector of interna revenue, with the exception of the deal ers in manufactured tobacco, who are not required to register. The number of the dealers in the hitter class, accord ing to tho report of tho commissioners of the Internal revenue for 1890 was G03,0G8, who paid a tax of $2.40 each. It is fcaid at the department that the abolition of this special tax of $2.40 will cause a loss to the government of 81,000,000 annually. The new provisions of law, regarding the caution label required to be used by tho manufacturers

of cigars, also went into effect May 1. It eliminates from the portion of the label reserved for the use of tho government all foreign matter, such as designs and ornaments.

THE new editor of tho Frankfort Crescent lays down his platform of follows:

Tersely expressed without evasion or mental reservation, we can answer, I am a Democrat in every article of faith as laid down by Jefferson, espoused and carried out with iron will by Jackson, and, in later years made the text of civic administration by Grover Cleveland.

Tho editor who can follow Jefferson, and Jackson and Grover Cleveland must possess the rare power of going in two directions at once. Jefferson was a nallificationist, Jackson it was who throttled nullification and came near having Calhoun arrested and tried for treason because of the nullification business business he started in South Carolina in 1832. Jefferson and Jackson were both intensely American and in favor of protection and homo manufactures, while Grover Cleveland is just as intensely English and in favor of a national policy, that Avill break down American manufacturers for the purpose of making a a market without competition forBritish goods. The new editor of tho Crcsccnl evidently stands badly in need of a little education in American political history. Some of tho small school children of Frankfort could easily demonstrate to him that he has understaken an impossible job in trying to follow Jefferson, Jackson and Cleveland.

WHAT litis become of tho surplus? Wo will tell you. From March, 1889, when Mr.jjllarrison assumed the reins of tho Government, to March, 1891, we' find that Secretary^Windom and Secretary Foster had purchased and canceled no less than $265,000,000 of the national indebtedness, and this with the millions of dollars that have been distributed among the peoplo in pensions, is resj)onsivo to the oft repeated inquiry as to tho surplus.QThe sum of money devoted to the reduction of the national indebtedness during the first two years of Mr. Cleveland's administration was $141,000,000 or about one half of that accomplished under Mr. Harrison. These figures are eminently suggestive and are abundantly able to speak for themselves and the patriotic impulses of tho Republican party.

"THE factory and the farm aro the two great producers of natural wealth," said Judge Thurston in his Cincinnati address. "They are dependent upon each other. For every spindle that ceases to move, for every wheel that no longer turns, for every forge that fails to glow, some farmer's plow must rust in furrow." Yes, and he might have added that for every dollar's worthVif commodities thiit we tire compiled to import from abroad, the farmer would bo conijjelled to niise two dollars' worth of products more to meet the expense of purchasing it, were it not for the protective system that enables the manufacturer sit home to produce everything that the farmer wants from a horse-shoe nail to a threshing machine.

THE Republican policy is founded on the principles of evaporation and rain. The oceans of wealth which lave foreign shores pay tribute for their vastness by yielding a portion to the Treasury, whence this wealth "droppeth as the gentle rain from Heaven" upon all the land alike, giving freshness, vigor and richness to the pursuits of the people.

THE man "who never reads an advertisement" is missing good things every dtiy. It is only the enterprising merchants who advertise and they always have a superior article to sell or are offering bargains at low prices.

HARRISON AT SACRAMENTO.

Tho

President Visits tlie Capital or Call* fornia— Ilancjuct at irigro. SAN KUANCIPCO, May 4.—The president visited Sacramento Saturday and returned in the afternoon. When the train arrived at Davisville at 6 o'clock a. m. it was boarded by a special committee and at Sacramento station Mayor Comstock and other committees met the I distinguished guest. Escorted by I military and civic organizations, tho I presidential party was taken along tlia I principal streets to the state capitol, where the school children of the city gave the president a hearty greeting1 and scattered flowers before his carriage in the same lavish manner that characterized similar demonstration in other California cities. Gov. Markliam greeted the president in the Capitol park and delivered the address of welcome, to which the president made a brief response. At the conclusion of the ceremonies the party was taken for a short drive through the city. At 10 o'clock the special train started back for Oakland, amid the cheers of a great crowd that had assemble*.! at the station. Many houses in the city were decorated in honor of the president's visit. Before the party left the president and Mrs. Harrison were presented with a representation of the seal of the city of Sacramento engraved on a gold plate.

On its return from Sacramento the president's special train stopped for a few minutes at Benicia and a floral tribute in the shape of a cannon was presented to the president by school children, who were drawn up in a body. The presidential party also paid a visit to the state university and returned to £his city about 4 o'clock. In the evening the president attended a banquet given in his honor by the Union League club.

SAN FKAXCISCO, May 4.—President Harrison obtained much needed rest Sunday. In the morning he attended the First Congregational church. The rest of the day he remained in his rooms. In the evening he crossed over to Oakland, where his train was waiting, and shortly after midnight started for Portland, Ore.

Ercmnxo, Cal., May 5. President Harrison and his party made its first portion of their journey in northern California Monday in a rainstorm, the first experience of that kind they have had in the Golden state. The president arose early Monday morning and was the only member of the party to greet the crowd that gathered abont the train at Tehama. He was loudly cheered and shook hands with all the people within reach. About half an hour later the train drew up at Red Bluff, where a band was assembled at the station. They gave the president a most enthusiastic welcome. At Redding the president and party were greeted with tha national salute and showers of bouquets from a throng of school-children.

ASHLAND, Ore., May 5.—The president and party arrived here shortly after 8 o'clock Monday night and received an enthusiastic welcome. The special committee of the Oregon state legislature boarded the train and welcomed the president to Oregon. After a stop of about thirty minutes at Ashland the presidential special pulled out, preceded by a special train carrying the legislative committee.

PORTLAND, Ore., May 0.—The early part of the journey of the president and party into Oregon Tuesday was made in a steady fall of rain, varying from a drizzle to a light storm. This discouraging state of affairs did not seem to dampen the enthusiasm of the inhabitants and they paid the chief magistrate every honor at each place visited. Salem was reached at 0 o'clock a. m. Curiosity was felt as to the course of Gov. Penuoyer, whose remarks have been the subject of newspaper and political comment. Rain was falling and the troops were in line, but the governor was not present. The explanation was made that the carriage failed to call for him, and had been sent to his residence. Just as the train arrived the governor and mayor drove up five minutes late, and were presented to the president in his car. The governor 'said: "Mr. President, I am glad to meet you and welcome you to the State of Oregon," and added: "I am sorry to have delayed you but it was not my fault." After the presentation of tho governor aod the mayor to the ladies and to the other members of the party the procossion maved to the capitol.

The president spoke briefly at Harrison institute and Indian school, where he was greeted by music by an Indian band and the pupils drawn up beside the station. Two pupils presented him with bouquets.

The presidential train arrived hore at noon. Despite the falling rain the party received a more impressive reception than at any point save San Francisco during the entire trig. 'The route of the procession was •ery lengthy, giving the population an opportunity to see the president. Probably 40,000 people stood in the rain to pay their respects to the chief magistrate in passing. The •president reviewed the procession from the Portland hotel. In the evening a pubhe reception was given at the pavillion, Mrs. Harrison holding a ladies' reception at the hotel. Tho train left at 1 o'clock for Taooma and Seattle.

The following is the programme sa far as decided upon for the return trip of President Harrison: After stopping at Tacoma and Seattle he will go to Salt Lake City, stopping one day at Boise City, Idaho, then to Leadville, Colorado Springs, Denver, Lincoln, Omalui, Neb. Hannibal, Mo. Springfield, 111.: Decatur, 111. Indianapolis, Columbus, 0., and Pittsburgh.

SEATTLE, Wash., May 7.—It was nearly 2 o'clock p. m. when the steamer City of Seattle with the presidential party arrived at tfea dock here. All the steam vessels blew their whistles and this noise was augmented by the booming of cannon. The houses in the city were generally decorated and arches were

erected at prominent corners. An escort composed of the First regiment, N. G. W., Sons of Veterans and G. A. B. posts accompanied the president to the cable car station, where the pupils of the high school sang an ode of welcome. On arrival at Lake Washington the steamer lvirkland was boarded by the party for a tour of the lake. The president stopped for some time at Tacoma, where speeches were made. The party left for Portland at night.

RECIPROCITY WITH PERU

VIcc-ProsIrttMit Solar Comes to the United States ti Negotiate for Closer Trade isolations—Venezuela ltatilies the Agreement Made Between Minister Sotehlo and Mr. liluinc.

WASHINGTON, May 7.—Peru wants reciprocity with the United States. The new minister, Mr. Solar, is now in New York, but will come to Washington to present his credentials soon after President Harrison returns. Though ho comes as regularly accredited minister, it is understood that Mr. Solar is really on a special mission to negotiate a reciprocity arrangement with the United States. Since the funding of the national debt by the Grace syndicate Peru has been coming out of the anaconda grip of Chili. Its commerce is looking up and its- future is once more hopeful. Closer trade relations with the United States are important to Peru. It is the only South American country besides Brazil which produces sugar in large quantities. Its sugar plantations were destroyed in the war with Chili, but they are open to great development. So it is important to Peru that it insures a lasting free market for this product in the United States. It has also a growing export trade in hides. These products will form the basis of the concessions to be made to the United States.

Peru took from the United State last year imports to the amount of nearly SI,500,000. These included breadstuffs, cotton manufactures, manufactures of iron and steel, petroleum, lumber and provisions. Nearly all these articles are dutiable. There is a special demand at present for American lard, and this will undoubtedly be included in the concessions. Vexatious fees in regard to the certification of invoices will also probably be modified as was done by the Braziliau government in its reciprocity arrangement. Though the syndicate which funded the Peru national debt was made up mostly of Englishmen, a good deal of the material and machinery it is using in building railroads is shipped by the United States. This machinery and material goes in free in pursuance of the agreement made with the syndicate.

A reciprocity arrangement between Peru and the United States will be likely to give the same privileges to all citizens of the United States who are developing the mining and other industries of that country. Minister Solar is a good deal of a man in his own country, and is something of an officeholder. Besides his present office, that of minister to the United States and to Spain, he is also vice president of Peru and a member of tho Peruvian senate.

Venezuelan reciprocity seems to be close at hand, though President Harrison's proclamation cannot be issued until the official notice comes through the regular diplomatic channels. Ex-Minister Soteldo has received private advices that the government of Venezuela April S3 formerly ratified the reciprocity agreement with the United States. This places Venezuela with Brazil in its new commercial relations with the United States. The importance which this agreement assumes to tho United States is shown by the faot that our imports from Venezuela during the fiscal year ended June 80, 1890, amounted in round figures to 811,000,000, of which SO,000.000 was in coffee. Our exports to Venezuela amounted during the same period to only about 84,000,000, leaving a balance of trade against the United States'of §7,000,000. With the establishment of frequent steamship communication through tho postal-aid bill and the admission of American products duty free this great difference may be rectified and the wealth of the United States increased by that much.

ELECTIONS IN INDIANA.

Kesnlts of tlio Contests Held la Various Towns of the State. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., May .V—Returns from over the state from the village elections are meager. In Dublin failure to fulfill the provisions of the Australian law prevented any election being held, and the old officers will hold over. The issues were purely of local interest and many of them were contested by people's, citizens' and law and order parties.

Returns received show that the republicans wore successful In Hope, Hartsville, Elizabeth, Hartford City, North Manehuster, Spencer and Rensselaer. Democrats won in Scottsburg, Boonville and Winamac. In Mitchell an entire ticket favoring high license for saloons was alectod for the first time in the town's history.

JEFFHRSONVILLE, Ind., May 5.—Monday the first town election in the oldest town in the northwest, Clarksville, was held. Founded in 1791 by Gen. George Rogers Clark, it received its oharter from Virginia. The people never had a voice until this spring, the rule of the town under the old charter annulled by the action of the Indiana legislature, being self-perpetuating. The election resulted in a complete democratic victory.
