THK New Orleans Picayune, a Democratic paper, says that the McKinley meeting- at that city was the greatest political event that ever took place in Louisiana. McKinleyism doesn't look like a ''dead corpse-' even in Louisiana.

WIIKN Cleveland was in New York he remembered the question be propounded to Congressman Wilson in that famous letter, "Ilow can we face the people if we pass this bill'.'" He is determined not to do any facing himself.

THKY are Nsaying harsh things in Kansas about Governor Lewelling. The Lamed Eagle Ojtic, for instance, remarks that Kansas horses are cheap, "because street cars are run by electricity, threshing machines by steam, and the State by a donkey."

THE New Orleans papers put the crowd that greeted McKinley at 13,000. The speaker stood on a raised platform iu the middle of the building, so that all could hear. The reception of the speaker was quite as war like as that given to Gen. Butler in 18G3, and a great deal more pleasant.

ST. LOUIS Qlobe-Dcmocrat: The various Topulist tills introduced in the last Congress called for the creation of a public debt amounting to $35,000,000,000. As this would give each citizen only S500, an effort-will be made at the coming session to raise the figures to something that will accord with the greatness of the country and the grandeurs of theparty.

Tin-: American Economist has returns from 320 extensive employers of labor, who state that in the first six months of the present year they have employed 20,800 fewer workmen than in the same period of 1892, and that the corresponding reduction in payments for wages was over SS,000,000. The loss throughout the country figured on this basis would be enormous.

.IriJOE ROISERT B. SPILMAN, an erstwhile citizen of Crav.fordsville, and now an eminent judge of a circuit court in Kansas, recently read a most interesting essay before the Bar Association of Kansas, on the subject of our naturalization laws. It is published in full in the report of the proceedings of the association, and shows its author to be worthy of a place among the distinguished sons and daughters of our noted little city.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND refused to attach his name to the Gorman tariij: bill for the reason, as he stated in his letter to Congressman Wilson, that it was a bill of "party perfidy and party dishonor." In like manner when in New York Yesterday he refused to raise his voice in favor of David B. Hill for Gbvernor, probably for the reason that the Democratic campaign in that State is one of "party perfidy and party dishonor." The action of the President has a "downcast" effect on the part}' in Indiana.

POSTMASTER GENERAL BissEi.Lhas addressed a circular letter to all free delivery postotlices in the country relative to forced campaign 'Contributions, lie cites two sections of the civil service law which provide that no Federal employe shall solicit or receive money for political purposes also, that no officer shall discharge, promote or degrade, or in any manner change, the official rank or compensation of any other officer or employe, or promising or threaten so to do, for giving or withholding or neglecting to make any contribution of money or other valuable thing for [any political purpose.

THE Canadian government has taken the advantage so freely given by the Democrats, and decided that lumber firms engaged in towing logs from Canada must pay a duty of twenty per cent, ad valorem on all their boom sticks entering Canadian ports, and must pay it every time they enter This practically amounts to confisca tion. The object is to have the sawing all done in Canadian mills, thus befitting Canadian industries and workinrmen. Of course there is no fault to be found with the Canadian government for its protective policy. The blunder was in our own Congress, in enacting a law which gave the opportunity for this discrimination against a great American industry.

WHY CATTLE ARE LOW. Shipments of cattle from old Mexico to Chicago is a new feature in the live stock business and one not calculated to make the average Texas stockman feel very cheerful. The Montgomery county farmer feels the effect equally with the Texas cattle raiser. The Chicago Drover's Journal says that while Mexico is by no means the cattle-rais-ing country that Texas is, the fact that the new tariff act permits shipments to this country at a profit may encourage an expansion of the cattle business in that country that may give Texas a lively competition. Of course the duty will handicap Mexican stockmen and will tend to check the business, yet as long as there is any profit in it some shipments may be expected. The trial shipment of last week was a success financially, and already the dispatches state that more cattle are being prepared for shipment. The Cheesman ranch near Sabinas is said to contain nearly 100.000 head of cattle, and it is rumored that a big share of these will be sent to Chicago if prices are favorable. Under the former law it cost §10 per head to get the cattle across the line regardless of their quality. Now at the ad valorem rate the duty is much less, and in the case as the recent shipment was a fraction more than 82 per head. The first lot of cattle marketed here sold at $2.4 for 821-lb steers and 82.2r for 7(!2-lb cows. These cattle were originally Texans and bore well-known Texas brands. Thej' had been taken across the border just under what condition cannot be stated.

THE white lead industry is the latest one to be affected by the Wilson tariff law. One of the largest white lead firms of Philadelphia has made the following statement: "The first importation of pig lead since the new tariff went into effect was made last week—about 000 tons. The former duty was 2c per pound, under which protection the principle part of the pig lead used in this country came from our own mines in Colorado and Arizona. Under the Wilson tariff the duty is but lc per pound, and importations like the above are not only possible, but probable, in the future, to the loss of our own producers and transportation companies. The duty on lead paints was formerly 3c per pound, affording lc per pound protection to the American manufacturer over the duty on pig lead. The duty on lead paints is now 1.C per pound, and the American market for lead paints has declined fully the difference. On some lines of paint the foreign article of manufactured paints is being largely imported and is taking the place of the domestic article, which has heretofore been almost exclusively used here. Under half a cent per pound protection American manufacturers can not pay American wages and compete with European makers. A material reduction in wages is necessary. The Western miners and producers of pig lead lose, not only the amount of metal actually imported, but also by the metal represented in the manufactured goods that can not be produced here in competition with foreigners.

SECTION 2193 of the Statutes of Indiana reads: "Whoever, for the purpose of influencing a voter, seeks, by violence or threats of violence, or threats to enforce the payment of a debt, or to eject, from any house he

may occupy, or to begin a criminal. prosecution, or to injure the business

or trade of an elector, or, if an employer of laborers threatens to withhold the wages of or to dismiss from service, any laborer in his employment, or to refuse to allow any such employes time to attend at the place of election and vote, shall be fined not more than $1,000 nor less than $20, imprisoned in the State prison not nore than five years nor less than one year, and disfranchised and rendered incapable of holding any office of trust or profit for any determinate period.'Those Democrats who have been guilty of violating the above section of the law would do well to know what they are doinu1.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND wrote a letter to Congressman Wilson which the latter read as a part of his speech on the 19th day of July in which he gave his opinion of the tariff bill which is now a law, in the course of which he said:

There is no excuse for mistaking or misapprehending the feeling and the temper of the rank and file of the Democracy. They are downcast under the assertion that their party fails in ability to manage the Government, and they are apprehensive that efforts to bring about tariff reform may fail but they are much more downcast and apprehensive in their fear that Democratic principles may be surrendered

The local managers of the party are busy whipping in the "downcast" who realize to the full extent "that their party has failed in ability to manage the Government." Realizing the truth of what the President himself said they have become "more downcast" and are now somewhat recalcitrant and dissatisfied.

was the case a year ago, but "the improvement on the McKinley act" is not working just right in the matter of exports, which were $"9,000,000 in September, against $72,000,000 in Septem ber, 1S93. That's the way the markets of the world are opened up. It increases imports but decreases exports. When a man buys more than he sells ho generally gets deeper and deeper in debt.

WHERE IS THE MOSEY? Democrats are boasting loudly that since Governor Matthews' term they have paid off $710,000 of the State debt, and point with pride to the beauties of the tax law passed in 1891. They are very careful to state that not a dollar of this $710,000 was paid out of the fund derived from the increase of taxation under this law. The Republican Congress of 1889-91 passed a bill refunding to the States the direct tax paid by them during the war. Indiana's share of this tax was $719,144.03. This money was received and placed in the State treasury. Auditor of State Henderson applied $710,000 of the amount on the State debt. But for this the State debt would have been greater by that amount that it is. If Mr. Brookshire had had his way about it Indiana would have been nearly $720,000 poorer than she is, as his vote, together with the votes of Bynurn and Sliively, were cast against the bill. The other members of the Indiana delegation all voted for the bill. Aside from this money received from the General Government not a dollar has been paid on the State debt, although now on the eve of the election the Auditor of State announces with a llourish of trumpets that in November he will pay $200,000 more and in January $300,000 additional. Like the boy in pursuit of a rabbit—when he catches the one he is after and two more he will have three. When the Auditor pays the $200,000 in November and $300,000 in January with the $710,000 received from Uncle Sam, but not by Brookshire's vote, he will have paid $1,210,000! The great and beneficent tax law has now been in force three years and two years' taxes have been collected under it. The question is what has become of the mone}'?

CONGRESSMAN BROOKSHIRE delivered his mosaic speech at Terre Haute last night. As usual, in a part of his speech he said: "I agree with the President that free raw materials lay at the very foundation of genuine tariff reform." Just as though there were no raw materials in this country and we needed it on the free list in order that we might get them cheap. But later on he said: "Fellow citizens, it is well known to all of us that no nationality on earth has such an abundance and diversity of raw materials as our own." Thus admitting that the President's position on "free raw material" hasn't the semblance of logic.

IN the Fifty-first Congress Mr. Brookshire was one of the few Northern opponents of the bill to refund to Indiana $720,000 of direct taxes paid during the war to the general Government. Under the Harrison administration, and by a Republican Congress, the bill was finally passed, and in consequence of it the debt of Indiana is $710,000 less that it would have been had Mr Brookshire had his way. This reduction in Indiana's debt is now the stock argument of Democratic orators and newspapers. They seem to take great credit to themselves because Green Smith failed to pocket the whole of it.

THE New York Sun comforts its readers with the following announcement: "General Ben LeFevre, Demo-

cratic

to a personal friead to-day: 'If we work without interruption until election day, and make no mistakes, and are perfectly united, I believe that we shall be able to keep the Republican majority in Ohio down to 3 00,000 Keeping down the size of the Republi-1 in favor

can majorities seems to be the chief end and aim of the Democratic party this year.

THE greenback tax bill which passed the last Congress was the same bill drafted by Senator Edmunds, of Vermont, and was passed by a Republican Senate in 1890. George \Y. Cooper, the alleged author of the bill, said iu his speech in Congress last July that it was the old Edmunds bill. It passed without division, nearly every representative voting for it. It is a good law, but it was just as go a measure when it was known as the Edmunds bill.

WHILE Governor McKinley was speakimg to a great crowd at Sisson ville, W. Va,. some enthusiastic Democrat shouted: "What about the force bill?" Quick as lightning came the reply from the Governor: "People are not troubling themselves about force bills just now what they are most concerned about is their board bill. The retort was received with shouts of applause.

OUR HOME MARKETS. P. S. Kennedy, in his speech at New Richmond Saturday evening last, dwelt at considerable length on the wheat market problem, which is just now a very interesting subject for farmers. New Richmond is situated in the midst of one of the finest wheat and corn growing regions of our State, and the speech was listened to by the large audience with the closest attention from beginning to end.

Mr. Kennedy said he had publicly predicted several years ago that no man of the present generation would live tb see wheat sell for a dollar per bushel again unless the policy of the government should be such as to create a market for it at home, and his prediction, so far, had been more than verified, for wheat had continued to decline until it had now reached a lower price at our sea-board markets than ever before known in the history of the country. And when we come to look into the agricultural affairs of nations, he s:iid, this condition of the wheat market is easily accounted for. India, within the hi^i, few years, has been converted ly England into one vast wheat field, and covered with a net-work of railways to the very foot of the Himalaya mountains: and the opening of the Suez canal had given all Europe access to this great wheat field. Our improved machinery was being introduced there and with the cheap labor of that country wheat could be delivered in England at less that SO cents per bushel. Besides this, Russia had been pushing a system of railways into her almost boundless eastern possessions, where wheat can be grown at almost a nominal sum and, not satisfied with this, she lias projected and almost completed a railway through Siberia, a fertile plain peculiarly adapted to the growth of wheat. Of this great enterprise the October report of the Agricultural Department at Washington contains the following notice: "The Siberian railway before long will be completed and will open up to commerce anew field. An enormous extent of fertile land will be brought under cultivation by this railroad, but no estimate can be formed of the quality of grain that will be exported through the facilities it will afford. This much is certain, that a new and vigorous competitor will before long be found in the grain markets of Europe." The same report shows that France, for the first time in her history has this year produced wheat enough to supply her entire consumption. With these facts in view and many more of the same sort that might be cited, it is idle for us to longer look for a wheat market in Europe. What then are we to do? But two courses are open to us. We must either abandon wheat raising or adopt and pursue a public policy that will create a market for our wheat at home. Instead, however, of doing this the present Congress has b.'en engaged in projecting a system of laws which, if carried out, must destroy what home markets we have. An assault has been made on the sugar industry of Louisiana, which, if successful, must result in the total destruction of the great sugar growing interests of that State, and the people

ex-Congressman from Ohio, said there so understand it, and hence have

recently allied themselves with the Republican party and 13,000 citizens of New Orleans recently greeted William McKinley, the great apostle of Protection, and applauded from beginning to end, a two-liours address by system of national protection for all our industries. Those who would ruthlessly lay waste the sugar plantations of Louisana can scarcely be aware of the mischief they would do to the whole country by such an act. A circular recently published, the facts of which have never been denied, shows that the sugar planters of Louisiana purchase yearly of the Northern States $1,200.000 worth of coal, $2,400,000 worth of mules and horses, $4,200,000 worth of bread-stuffs, $3,000,000 worth of meats, $4,800,000 worth of corn, oats and hay, over $1,000,000 worth of cooperage, $0,000,000 worth of machinery, and other things, aggregating nearly $30,000,000. Now, when you destroy the sugar industry of Louisana, you destroy a home market for $30,000,000 worth of our 'Northern products, and inflict an injury on the entire country, without a single compensating advantage. He protests forever against such reckless folly in the management of our public affairs.

0f a

Louisiana produces to-day less than one-tentli of the sugar we use. She might, under a wise system of laws, produce ten-tenths or all of it, and this would make a market not for $30,000,000 worth of our northern products, but perhaps for five times that sum. Under the McKinley olaw we have started another great industry entirely new, the manufacture of sugar from the beet. This too, is to be destroyed. A single factory at Chino California, has this season consumed 19,347 tons of beets at $4,70 per ton, and turned out 3,585,334 pounds, or 1,792 tons of granulated sugar since this year's sugar season commenced.

Factories in Nebraska and Utah have turned out similar amounts. These beet sugar factories area great relief to agriculture, for farmers in their vicinity often realize as much as $30 and

$40 per acre for their beets after paying all expenses. The Republican party proposes to encourage the production of sugar, from both the cane and the beet, tiil we shall be independent of foreign nations for onrsuDpl.V of sugar, and keep at home the §200,000,000 we annually send out of our country for sugar, and give to our own people the advantage of the labor it takes to produce it. Who will say that this is not a wise policy? Let us build up at home every new industry we can, for it is only by such a policy that we can ever hope to again have a market for our surplus farm products. It is folly of the rankest kind, in any nation to go to work systematically to cripple or destroy its own industries and turn its own laborers out of ^employment. It had' been announced in London by Mr. Rollett, at the banquet given to Mr. Wilson, that the new tariff policy had already opened the furnaces of Wales and Yorkshire, and given an impetus to the textile industries of England, but who can point to any good results in this country? Is it any wonder that the people from New Orleans to Maine are rising in their might and protesting against the un-American policy which is building up the industries of England and destroying our own? The uotion that England would buy wheat of us, if we would lower our tariff duties, has proved entirely fallacious, for since the incoming of the free trade administration, our shipments of wheat abroad had fallen off worse than ever. In the exportation of corn there has been a decrease this year of over 1.000,000 bushels: a decrease of nearly 39,000.000 bushels of wheat, and a decrease of 258,000 barrels of flour. The aggregate decrease in the sale of our grain abroad this year amounts to more than $41,000,000. The passage of the

Gorman-Wilson tariff law had produced no effect whatever on this continuous diminution of our grain shipments abroad. England will not buy grain of us, no matter how much we toady to her, when she can get it cheaper from her own colonies. The true American policy is for us to stimlate the building of diversified industries in our own country, so that one industry may furnish a market at home for the products o. another. This and this alone, will make us a prosperous and happy people.
