FR [DAY, NOVEMBLK. J. 1895.
AFTER deducting1 large quantities of this year's apple crop for drying, distilling into brandy, making into cider, •feeding to swine and stowing away for home consumption by growers, it is estimated that there will be sent into market 06,000,000 barrels of that "king of the fruits," or almost a barrel for each man, woman and child in the Union.
AMERICA led South Africa last year in her crop of gold. South Africa mined $30,555,830. The United States, $39,755,00. Uncle Sam did not think it enough to brag on. He will do better this year. Alaska will begin to tell. The amount of gold mines in Africa is scarcely a moiety of the amount that England has sunk in speculation in gold stocks. California alone has up to date produced $1,350,000,000 in gold. Africa's total product has been $188,000,000.
MCKINLEY'S position on the tariff is brief and comprehensive. This is the way he in which he expressed it at Marietta, O., last Tuesday: "I want a tariff high enough to sustain American conditions, American manhood and American womanhood. "I want a tariff that will measure the difference in wages between European countries and our own. "I want a tariff imposed on everything we make in this country. "I want the tariff taken off of everything we cannot produce."
CHAUNCEY M. DEPEW made a speech the other night in Carnegie Hall, New York, in the course of which he promulgated some sound Republican doctrine but did not commit himself in his choice for the Presidency. Among other good things he said:
But we will renew again those good old times, when it will be recalled next year and recalled twenty-five years hence, that the supreme period of our prosperity was when the House of Repreeentatives was Republican, when the speaker wasThomas B. Reed —[cheersl—when the House of Representatives was protection of American industries and its prophet was William McKinley when the United States Senate was for honest finance and its leaders were John Sherman and William B. Allison. When the Senate of the United States was presided over by a courteous gentleman, whose administration of that place and other great places helped to make him the governor of the State of New York— Levi P. Morton. [Cheers.] When through every artery of our public life and in every department of our administration there was felt the master hand of that great brain, that majestic ability, that unflinching courage which is embodied in Benjamin Harrison. These are the good old times which we want to recall, when this government can be carried on upon its revenues and not upon borrowed money.
GEX.'HARRISON'S POSITION.
Probably the best statement of Benjamin Harrison's position with regard to the Presidental nomination in 1890 is that worded by Murat Halstead in the Brooklyn
StandardrUnion,
BDd
as fol-
lows: Some of General Harrison's home friends are indicating an uneasiness about the position of the General that they would do well to suppress. Several sysptoms of the pertubation of these gentlemen have not been entirely pleasant. They seem to be anxious to know whether General Harrison is a candidate for the Presidency in the sense of being in a football game, as it were, on the rush-line for the place. They have been indicating that they do not want to get left. If Harrison is not to be the man, they mean to go in hot haste for some other man. The reason for this is they desire to be at the front. This is not a becoming attitude. It is flavored with a passion for the poor practical ends of politics. It is unworthy to be associated with the honored name of General Harrison. Aud consideration of the dignity of the General forbids such manifestations. We presume there has not been any doubt at any time about the position of General Harrison. He has bad a term of the Presidency, and made a noble record. His name is identified with the glory and prosperity of his country. He may well be satisfied to let it stand and take his place in history as he is, so far as the great office is concerned. But he is a man of the highest order of ability, and of great courage, vigor and power, and if he should be called by the people to be chief magistrate for another term, he could not, in justice to himself, his party
his country, refuse. It
•, would be preposterous for him to speak of this. It is not reasonable to desire it of him. It is impertinent to insist that he shall speak. He is oontent. His silence is the proper thing to express that contentment. His reserve is that which is natural under •V- the circumstances to a strong and
Jim
patriotic man. This duty of the Republicans of Indiana is plainly to be for him for the next Presidency, and ask no questions of him. It will be as his friends that they may be considerable and considered in th next con vention. They can determine their second choice when the Indiana d«Iegation to the next National convention is called to caucus on that subject. Until then there should not be any fermentation in Indianapolis.

THE BIG STORE
rouble! Trouble! Trouble!
We are in trouble and we need your help. Listen while we relate our woes. Last May we decided to build an addition of 3,360 foot floor space on the top of our store, but that has been denied us by the city council, as the following clipping from the daily papers' report of their last meeting will show:
"Mr Louis Bischof asked a permit to build a second stoi'y on the rear addition of his business block, the skeleton Of said building to be of wood, and this to be covered with iron but this was not in accordance with the requirements of the ordinance governing the construc-
tion of buildings within the fire limits aud the permit was not granted."
Our present walls are too light to support a second story brick wall or an iron wall complying with the ordinance referred to and we have been compelled to abandon the project. However, believing we would have this extra room, we bought many more goods than the capacity of our present room will permit us to handle successfully and pleasantly and we are compelled to reduce our stock $20,000 within the next thirty days. These goods were all bought before the recent decided advances on all lines of staple and fancy goods, for spot cash, and if we could carry them we would realize fully 20 per cent, more than if we bought them at present prices. But we haven't the room and we bow to the inevitable and give our profits to our customers. Below area few of the many bargains we offer. We have hundreds more, but we haven't the time to list them, but it will pay you to come and see us for any dry goods or notions.
