THE American Protective Tariff League has been making a comprehensive investigation of the effect of the McKinley tariff upon prices. A table is compiled, which is based on reports from every State and Territory in the Union. This compilation gives average retail prices of fifty-six articles in 1S57 near tho close of our last free trade jjeriod: prices in the fall of 18S9, a year before the McKinley bill passed in th( fall of 1890, and in September of this year. The tendency has been down ward (not upward, as free traders have alleged) till along the line of period named. There is one exception, pearl buttons, which cost a little more now than they did in 1889 and 1890, but are 33.J, per cent, cheaper than they were in the old free trade times of 1857. Here are some of the manufactured things that have been descending in cost Axes, binding twine, blankets, blue shirting, boots, calico, carpets, cotton gloves, cotton hosiery, cotton knit gpods cotton spool thread, crowbars, drawing chains, files, forks, flannel, fruit cans gingham, hand saws, hoes, hemp rope, linen, mowing machines, wire nails, iron nails, oilcloth, overalls, brass pine j)lows, horse rakes, hand rakes, reapers and binders, rubber boots, salt, stoves sheeting, shovels, spades, starch, strawhates, sugar, sugar bowls, scythes, tin dippers, milk pails and milk pans, tick ing, wagons, washboards, washtubs wheelbarrows, wooden pails and woolen clothing.

THE New York Mail and Express says tho Republican party of that State has arranged for two "Thanksgiving' days this year, the first one coming off the first week in November and the sec ond toward the close of the month. The earlier day of thanksgiving will be in commemoration of our deliverance from the bondage of Tammany and Demo cratic rule. The Governor will issue no proclamation for this day of rejoicing The latter Thanksgiving day will bo accordance with a time-honored custom when we will devoutly thank a beneficent Providence for peace, prosperity and plenty.

FOK tin utensils people now are not paying half what they paid in 1857 •which was Democratic free trade times, A tin dipper which cost 25 cents then can be had now for 11 cents. A spade which cost then $1.50 can now be had for 85 cents.

THE world is buying more of our pro ducts this year than ever before, and still the Democrats keep talking about tho alleged harm that has been done to our foreign trade by the McKinley law.

LAST fall the Democracy obtained a number of votes by shameless lying about "McKinley prices." The people recognize now how they were befooled. The Democrats are trying the same game in Ohio this year by lying about American tin plate. It won't win this time, gentlemen.

FOB calico, cotton hosiery, knit goods and thread, flannel, gingham, linen, lils, oilcloth, pins, wooden ware, and other articles in common use, the people of this country are now paying less than they paid one year ago, and only onehalf or less than "one-half of what they paid in the freo-trade days of 1857."

A gentleman who has been taking some note of political sentiment in this county says there is unusual admiration for McKinley among Democrats no less than Republicans. One entusiastic Democrat said to him: "Why, I cf ike a bushel of wheat to town and get almost a bushel of sugar for it!" When were times over so good for farmers before?

^,iin StSSlSlil

Now th.it this year's corn crop is beyond the danger of frost, speculation turned to its amount. The Cincinnati rice Current, esteemed one of the most reliable trade journols in the world as figures, estimates the crop to bo 1,990,000,000 bushels, and the best of it is there will be a good market for every bushel of it that our farmers do not need.

ITiil Pointer Wins.

TERKE DAUTE, IncL, Oct. 8.—About (5,000 people were on the grounds Wednesday when the unfinished match pace was called. Previous to the first heat pools sold: rial Pointer, 850 Direct, 825, with plenty of takers for both ends. Fully 800,000 went into the box before the bell tapped. The word was given first time down, Pointer having a little the best of it, Starr having noded for the word Oeers followed his tactics of Tuesday and allowed no loitering by the way. Tho first quarter polo was passed in 33)£ seconds, and there was no change of position to the half in 1:05J^ in the down hill eighth the pace was quickened, atad fifteen seconds marked the rate. To the three-quarters they went in 1:37, and Starr began to ply the whip. The black stallion was game, but nature could not stand the clip. They went under the wire with Goers' head turned watching Direct. Time, 10*.

No pools were sold on the last heat. The dfcfaclusion had forced itself that Pointer was unbeatable. The second score they got the word. Pointer, with his ears laid back, was the personification of determination. Geers carried Direct wide at the turns and gave him a long mile. They were at the quarter in 33J-4 seconds, Direct a length back, Starr evidently holding in for a brush. The same position was maintained to the half in 1:07 and the threequarters in 1:40. Starr now rallied the black horse with the skill of a master reinsman. lie was on Pointer's wheel at the turn for home. At the distance Direct faltered, but Starr gathered him up and with a great drive tried in sheer desperation for the heat. There was no use.

Pointer had speed and endurance to spare, and won in 2:12%. The track is judged by experts to be fully two seconds slow and the conditions were in favor of Pointer. The time for the four heats was: 2:13, 2:11, 2:10*, 2:12%.

In the Warren park stake for 3-year-olds Uncle Sam took the first heat, Cieo winning the remaining three best time, 2:24^. In the 2:10 trot the big mare Vie II. had the spoed of the party and won off the reel best time, 2:10%. Between races on bars, driven by Doble, was sent to beat 2:18, the record held by Suuol as a 2-year-old, which he succeeded in equaling. The time by quarters was: .44% 1:08* 1:42* 2:18. lUirned tlio lteeords.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Oct 8.—An incendiary fire at Washington, Daviess county, Wednesday morning destroyed the courthouse together with all the records. The fire was starts ed simultaneously in the office of the recorder and the auditor, and only a few of the records from the clerk's, sheriff's and treasurer's offices were saved. Charred papers from the recorder's ofiice which were saved were found to have been saturated with coal oil, showing that the incendiaries had used oil to insure destruction. Every land title, every mortgage and all the papers relating to the assessment of the county were destroyed. The courtliouiie was built in 1877 at a cost of Sl3i,0 10

MKMOKIAL TO GRANT.

CHICAGO, Oct. S.—The great metropolis of the west suspended the bustle and activity of its business interests to do honor to the memory of an illustrious citizen-soldier and statesman. The magnificent statue erected by the citizens of Chicago to the immortal memory of Ulysses Simpson Grant,artisan, citizen-soldier, general, commander in chief of the armies of the United States, and twice elected to tho hipliest ofiice in the gift of the people of his native land, was formally unveiled at Lincoln park.

Chicago was en fete in honor of tho day and the event. The public holiday had been decreed by the city authorities, and the public departments, the schools, as well as the government buildings were closed, while business of all kinds was generally suspended. The decorations especially in the center of the city were elaborate and tasteful. The influx of'visitors from abroad exceeded the wildest expectations.

As early as 9 o'clock the various divisions of the parade began to form on Michigan avenue and the thorough-

THE STATUE.

fores adjacent thereto. The instructions issued by Maj. GeU. Nelson A. Wiles, as shief marshal, were so clear and explicit that no confusion was experienced in forming the line, but the turnout of organizations was far in excess of all anticipations, and it was not until 2 o'clock that tho roar of artillery gave a signal for the head of the column to move.

A division of the city police, 500 strong, under command of Chief MeClaughry, in columns of companies, the first on foot and those following mounted, led the way. Then on prancing steeds came Gen. Miles and Gen. .Joseph Stockton, chief of staff, with their staffs. The second division was led by a regiment of United States infantry from Fort Sheridan, followed by a battery of United States artillery and G.en. Miles' famous old Battery E, of the First artillery, and behind these came for a distance of over a mile the infantry and cavalry of the National Guard, tho various companies representing every section of the state. The third division was a notable one, being composed of members of the societies of the army of the Tennessee, the army of the Potomac and the army of the Cumberland. Many of the distinguished men in this division were instantly recognised by the crowds and heartily cheered from point to point. Among those that came in for a more than hearty greeting were Senator John

Sherman, Secretary Noble, Gen. Horace Porter. Gen. Edward Bragg, of the famous Iron brigade: Senator Davis, of Minnesota Judge AValter Q. Gresham, ex-Senator ,T. J. Ingalls and Ilenry Watterson. Gen. Butterfield, of New York, president of the society of the army of the Potomac, also came in for a share of the hearty greeting accorded to this and the Fourth division which was composed of distinguished guests in carriages.

Gen. Horace Clark and his staff headed the Fifth division, which was exclusively composed of members of the Grand Army of tho Republic. Conspicuous in this division was a little regiment, the Twenty-first Illinois infantry. A good many of them were aged and infirm, and some were crippled and maimed, but they mached proudly along between a running cannonade of cheers and shouts from both sides of the line of march. At the head of the little company a one armed veteran bore a stand of colors. They were the selfsame colors that the hero of Appomattox himself unfurled in front of his headquarters when elected colonel of the- regiment. The sixth division was composed of veterans and the Sons of Veterans and the seventh and last of civic societies. Prominent in this division was Chicago post of veterans of the Confederate army, and the feeling that prompted the men who wore the gray to turn out on the occasion was heartily recognized by the spectators from the beginning to the end of the route.

The arrival of the head of the column at the head of the park was the signal for the discharge of guns from the United States steamer Michigan which with the revenue cutters Fessenden and Johnson were at anchor in the lake off the breakwater. Accompanying them and dotting the water for a square mile were 100 other crafts, from the big steamers of the Anchor line down to the small tug boats and pleasure sailing craft. Every vessel was gayly decorated with streamers and bunthig and the scene presented by the naval display was picturesque in the extreme.

It is estimated that fully 20,000 men were in line. When the division containing the distinguished guests had readied the base of the monument Mrs. U. S. Grant, Jesse Grant and his wife and thei*

children were escorted to seats on the right of Judge Gresham. Mrs. Grant, in response to earnest requests, appeared on the speaker's stand and bowed. The trial was too severe, for her. She wept before the old soldiers who had .called her out, and they bowed their heads, while not I a few were visibly affected.

Arrived at tiie park, when all was in readiness. Chairman E. S. Dreyer called the vast gathering to order. Bishop John 1\ Newman offered prayer. At the close of the invocation Edward S. Taylor, on behalf of the trustees of the Grant monument fund, presented the monument to the Lincoln park commissioners. As he closed he waved his hand toward the great pile of stoue surmounted by the veiled statue. At a word, Miss Mary Strong, daughter of the late Gen. Strong, released the fastenings and the veil dropped asunder. As the rays of light touched the magnificent statue of bronze, flashing forth its radiant splendor, revealing every curve of the noble figure of horse and rider and enveloping in a golden glow the stern face cf the dead hero, a great cheer arose from the multitude—a ehecr that was American and from the heart.

And then there boomed forth the presidential salute of twenty-one guns from the military and fleet. Wjten the rumble of the last gun had ceased Hon. William C. Goudy for the -ommi'ssioners of Lincoln park, and as its president, made a graceful speech of acceptance. lion. Hempstead Wasiiburne, as mayor, accepted the monument on the part of the citizens of Chicago. He was followed by Judge Walter Gresham, extracts from whose oration are here given. Judge Gresham said:

Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Uontlemen: It is hardly necessary on this occasion to enter upon any minute account of the life and deeds of tho man to whose memory this beautiful statue has been erected. Thoy are part of the history of our country, and in the minds of the people are as familiar as household 'words.

He ivas remarkably free from that vanity and conceit which have been tho weakness of many great minds, and which seem to be tha peculiar vice of men who have risen, liko him, from humble antecedents to a lofty eminence. He had nono of the strut of the lirst Napoleon, as it was revealod in his privato letters, his turgid addresses to the armies of France and his egotistical assumption that he was a man of destiny and none of the boastfulness with which Cajsar announced his victories in Asia Minor to the Roman senate ever manifested itself in the speech or writings of tho victorious leader of our armies. Greatness was never moro unconsoious of itself than it was in him. The triumphs of Grant from Bolmont to Appomattox never destroyed his balance, or affected the habitual moderation of his utteranco or demeanor.

Evon with the confederacy at his feet, as a final testimony of his skill and prowess as a military chieftain, he was not betrayed into anything like exultation, and stopped tho jubilant firing of a salute iu his command as soon as the sound of the cannon reached his ears. The glittering uniform of the conquered leader of the confederate armies contrasted strangely with the plain and much worn habiliments of the conqueror: but Grant was more intent upon the results of the conference between them than upon his own appearance in it. And it was not tho result of a surrender of the confederate armios ami final cessation of hostilities upon tho north or upon partisan politics that occupied his mind. In that supreme moment he ceased to be the leader of tho union army only, aud thought and acted with broad and enlightened statesmanship and patriotism for the whole reunited country. Ho thought of the feelings and sensibilities of the vanquished, and of making the road towards patriotic citizenship easy for them. He thought of the waste lands and impoverished communities of the south, which were again under tho old flag, and quickened a returning senso of obligation to it by restoring to every confederate soldier the horse or mule which hail belonged to him, and might be used again in malting and garnering the crops on which ho and his family would depend for their sustenanco. He thought more of giving an impulse to the pursuits of peace and industry among a (lisrgani/.od people, of aiding fhem in the mainten.Tico of themselves, of bringing them back into social as well as political relations with the rest of tho country, than upon his own part and lot in the accomplishment of these salutary ends. In the struggle that ended in final capitulation, he was never actuated by the spirit of revenge or hate, or by aught else than a high sense of patriotic duty.

Grant had extraordinary abilities, and while he never dwelt upon or thought about their greatness, or measured or compared them with tho abilitios of others, he knew just what they were, their extent and limitations, what might be accomplished by them, and what was beyond their reach. He was never misled by rating himself too high or too low. In Mexico he had shown unmistakable sense and courage In a subordinate capacity, but iu our late war he began the study of himself as a commander ond leuder of men, and he soon mastered the lesson.

As he became conscious of his powers he re lied with unshaken confidence upon his own judgment. Ho held few if any councils of war. He succeeded in great emergencies by his native streugth of will and intellect, and his resolute persistence where men of more learning and better versed in military science, bat with less natural capacity, wruld have failed. What they are obliged to learn, he seemed to know Intuitively. Ho disregarded elementary maxims of war, without hesitation, when they were plainly the outgrowth of conditions radically dillerent from those which confronted him. Ho was equal to any command or emergency. But there was no affectation of dash or brilliancy about his movements. The boldest of his campaigns and battles were not determined upon without deliberation, and an intelligent comprehension of the obstacles in his path and the means at his command for ovorcoming them. And having once entored upon tho execution of bis plans, reverses which would have discouraged loss resolute and far-sighted men never impaired his confidence iu ultimate success, or disqualified him for seizing upon unexpected advantages and profiting by them. With a definite end always in view, without wavering or vacillation, and ever ready, with large resources, to adjust his plans to any change of circumstances, Grant pressed determinedly onto an invariably successful tormination. He never lost tho fruits of victory through Inactivity.

Although educated at West Point, howas not a professional soldier. Instead of liking war, he abhorred it as the greatest of human calamities, and his temperament inclined to peace. He engaged in our last war because ho recognized it was tho only means of maintaining the union and seouring unbroken peaco. It was a cause for which he was willing to make any sacrifice, even life itself. He could not have led iu any war of aggression or conquest, for lie was the friend and benefactor, rather than an oppressor or destroyer of the people.

Whatever may have been his merits or his defects as chief executive, he was unquestionably our greatest soldier, nd his matchless achievements in tho field and their influence upon tho fate of his country amply justify this beautiful testimonial. So long as love of liberty and equality and admiration for heroic deeds and unselfish patriotism last, the memory of Grant will be venerated. Some of the nets of his civil administration were really worth more to the country and the world than the dull routine and solemn respectability of many others.

The men who have left tho profoundest innpress on our history were not so much distinguished for their wealth, or their erudition, as the qualities, or some of them, which distinguished Grant. These qualities are essential ingredients of political manhood, and they are no loss usoful and necessary in peaco than in war. Wo need men possessing them to reBist tho aggressions of those who seek to make of our politics both an art ana a mystery, intelligiblo only to the adept and initiated, who assume the management of them, by virtue of their capacity for the deft nud artful manipulation of their fellows. Their infiuonce upon the country is corrupt and debasing, and tho area of political vonulity constantly enlarges under it. According to their views the whole Interest that any citizen has in municipal, stato or national governmont is measured by what ho can make out of it. It is worse than idle to shut our eyes to tho existence of corrupt methods and practices in our politics which threaten to subvert our free institutions. Tho man who accepts a bribe of any sort places his consciunee and judgment in the vilest bondage. Ho is no longer free. Argument is wasted on him. Considerations of tho public weal or woe do not affect him. Bayonets at the l/o Is would not control his conduct more effectively. And men who contribute money to buy votes, and to bribe tho people's representatives, as well as those who disburse it, are deadly enemies of tho republic. Their greed aud love of power are greater than tholr love of country. They impair popular respect for law, which is tho only safeguard for life and property and it will he an evil day for tho nation when its preservation depends upon their patriotism and courage. They may masquerade in the garb of righteousness, and address the people in the language of patriotism, but their virtues are assumed they are hypocrites and assassins of liberty, and would welcome a dynasty rather than shod their blood in defense of popular government.

Their shameless and insidious attacks on free institutions are infinitely more dangerous than the revolutionary teachings and practices of a comparatively few visionary and misguided men and women in our large cities.

It is not such nieu os these, but tJre great multitude, engaged in active aud hardy pursuits, who constitute the real strength of the nation. They are not enemies of law and order, they do not envy or hate those who have acquired property by honest methods, they bear their full share of the public burdens, and so long as the powers of tho nation are not perverted to their injury for the enrichment of a few, they will rally to its defense with unselfish and devoted patriotism. Their energy und couragc have not been deadened by easo

out public and the people will not long remain tranquil under a well-founded belief that the corrupt use of money prevents a free and honest expression of their choice of men and measures. If public opinion cannot be honestly expressed in authorized ways, our elections will become expensive and useless mockeries, and free government will exist only

in name. Let us not be deceived by mere forms. It is not improper at this time to call attention to baneful influences and practices which lower our national standard and, unchecked, I threuten disastor. Engrossed in the carcs of businoss aud laborious occupations, mon seem inattentiYo to tho requirements of citizenship, I but they do not consciously and willfully shirk its duties aud responsibilities, when they are clearly seen and fully understood. They may be slow to act, but when danger becomes imminent thoy will assort themselves again as they have in tho past. Thoy will not allow tho ropubllc to perish from neglect. The sentimont of patriotism is still strong in the people. It Is neithor dead nor short-lived. It grows and strengthens with honest appeals to it, and it may bo appealed to with confidonco for the vindication of good measures. It Increases with every draft that is made upon it, and wlillo it may bocomo silent through neglect, it does not cease to exist. Its voice may bo unheeded for a season, and may bo drowned by the noisier tongues of greed and selllshness, but it will bo heard again. It patiently submits to many affronts, and quietly endures many indignities. I3ut in its temporary silence it gathers an accumulationof energy, and when the limit of endurance has been reached it. commanding voice breaks forth ou tho startled air, trumpet-tongued, and I against its mighty tones no other voice dares lift itself.

The vast majority of the people are patriotio and sound to tho core. In them is our main stay and chief dependence. Our confidonco in their steady and unfaltering love of country,: which is indifferent about any show of itself, and speaks only in its acts, will never bo misplaced. It was this sort of patriotism that waa personified in Grant.

At the conclusion of the oration the vast assembly was dismissed.

The llesult of Merit.

When anything stands a test of fiftyyears among a discriminating people ,- like tho Americans, it is pretty good evidence that there is merit somewhere.. The value of a medicine is best proved by its continued use from year to year by the same persons and familiee, us wella6 by a steady increasing sale. Few, if any, medicines have met with such continued success and popularity as lu.s marked the introduction and progress of Brandreth's Pills,which, after, after a trial of over fifty years, are conceded to. be tho safest and most eifectivo purgative and blood purifier introduced to tlio public.

That this is the result of merit, and that Brandreth's Pills actually perform all that is claimed by them, is conclusively proved by tho fact that those wbo^ regard them with the greatest favor are those who have been, using them. longest. '.
