CLEVELAND’S LETTER.

The Indianapolis News, a prominent republican fpaper, refers o Mr. Cleveland’s reoent letter to General Bragg, and which appeared in the Sentinel last week, in the following truthful and complimentary style: “In answer tc a suggestion of General Bragg’s, of Wisconsin—the man who made the famous phrase concerning Cleveland, “Ws love him for the enemies he has made"—Mr. Cleveland has written a letter in whioh he defines himself with regard to the presidency. It was such a definition us is to be expected from him. It puts him in an attitude to be looked for from him. ”1 oan not bring myself," he writes, “to regard a oandidacy for the place as something to be won by personal strife and active self-assertion. K He places himself as amenable to the obligations and duties of citizenship which he has inculcated upon all; as he puts it: “I have beeL. sincere in my constant advocacy of effect, ive participation in political affairs on the part of all our citizens.” Recognizing this, recognizing that “the Presidency is pre-eminently the people’s office, ” he simply rests himself as one of the people to be called upon to this place by the people. He |does not close, however, without a warning to his fellow-Democrats that this is_a time for thoughtfulness and deliberation, not only as to candidates, but concerning party aotion upon questions of immenae interest to the patriotic and intelligent voters of the land who watch for an assurance of safety as the price of f?K r t* COnfidenoe an d support.” A letter in better taste could hardly be written. It nr?ha 8 Mr Cle rebind an/hi* party * hke ?es™T ,ed; above ell, leaves him his «elfl p . e , ct unspotted, his dignity uutouobed, It s^in 61 v.® be b i s party’s candidate or n It shows him to be greater than the office." Man is often deceived in the age of a v Oman by her gray hair. Ladi s, ion can appeal young and prevent this grayness by using Hall’s Hair Renewer.

A MONSTER EVERGREEN NURSERY

The annual catalogue of the Evergree n Nurseries, of Evergreen, Wisconsin, ba s been issued, and this office has been fa'ored with a copy. They now list fully three hundred varieties of coniferous evergreens. Some of them arc very strange and unique in form and habit of growth. They have been to great pains and expense to secure seeds and plants of evergreens so nd native in all parts of the earth. If a man w-ints evergreens cheap but good,Jor screens, groves, wind-breaks or hedges, there is no better place to go m America. If a man is fond of the marvelous, strange, and curious forms in nature, there is no other place in this country where his fancy can be satisfied with rare and beautiful evergreens. These nurseries are growing the plants in immense numbers, planting the se>ds by the ton. They imported from one seed house in Germany last season 2300 lbs., besides all they gathered in this country, getting large quantities from Colorado, California, Washington and all the western states and territories. It is well worth ny man s while to send for their lists.

A GOLDEN NUGGET.

A strange novelty is this golden table corn, with its beautiful rich cream color. It is claimed by those who know it that it is very sweet, early.and lender.'anaa superior corn. We notice Vick reeom mends it very highly. The Floral Guide, which comes to ns bringing boqu< tof Carnations on the front cover, with a splendid bunch of Brilliant Poppies on the back, rives full description of this new corn, which is only 15'cents a packet. Vick’s Floral Guide is worthy a place in the home of anvone who expeotsto make a garden the coming spring. By all means send ten cents to James Vick’B Sou’s Rochester, N. Y.. for the Guide, and you can. deduct this amount from your first order. It will pay you well.

AMERICAN TIN PLATE SCARE.

Practically None of it for Sale to Consu mers. The Tin Plate Consumers’Association a short time ago issued its “Circular No. 3,” whioh it mailed to consumers of tin plate all over the country. Tin circula was as follows: “In furthcrai oe of the objeots of the Tin Plate Consumers’ Association, the directors respectfully request the members of the association to furnish mo nthly returns of all the American mad e tin plates purchased by them, beginnin g with the month of January, 1892; also stating whether any American made tin plates have been bought by them previous to the Ist of same mouth, and, if so, what quantity, sizes, and kind. The names of those “orwarding the information will be regarded as confidential by the directors and will not . e published. One hundred and fifteen replies to this oirenlar have already been received by Mr. Robert Ganz. secretary of the association, and the National Provisioner, published a statement, prepared by Mr. Ganz, showing what these replies contained. From this statement, it appears, that of the 115 heard from, exactly 100 announoe in various ways, that they have i.ot ho’t any American made tin plate. Samples of the replies are as follows: San Franoisco—“We have not been able to obtain any American made tin or terne plates so far.”

New Haven—“We use only highesi grade tin plates, and we have not heard of any of these being manufactured. ’’ Chicago—“ Haven’t been able to find any.” Chicago—“ None of any kind except a sample box of 20x28 terne.” Dundee, 111.—“ The tin plate whioh we use is not yet made in the United States.” Highland, 11l. —“Obtained none up to date.” Indianapolis—“We have obtained no American tin plates whatever.” Vincennes, Ind.—“We have not had any American made tin plate yet.” Louisville —“I cannot buy any that I know or. New Orleans—“As y<t have not been offered any." Baltimore—“ Have not been able to obtain any. Have neither bought noi been offeied any American tin plate.”

Ridgely, Md.—“We have never seen a piece of American-made tin plate, and never had any offers or quotations.” Boston—”\ye have not bought nor have we bten offered a single sheet of American tin plate.” Boston—Have not seen or heard,of any Americ n tin plates in this market.” Adrian, Mich.—“We have not been able to find any tin plates suitable for our use except imported article. If you know of any manufacturers of the article we wo’d like to have their address.”

Kansas City, Mo.—“On December 3 last we ordered a car load of tin plates for January delivery from American manufacturers. There is no immed ate prospect of getting same, and we will cancel order for same.” Omaha—“ None offered, and we do not believe there is any in the market.” Brooklyn—“ Have neither bought nor had any <j tiered to me. Have not baeu able'to timl any suitaole for my purposes on making inquiry. ” Buffalo —“Have not bought any tin plate manufactured in this country; none offered at anyprioe.” New York City—‘“Have not seen any except in Tribuu* newspaper." Waverly, N. Y—“Nohe offered.” Woodstock, N. Y “Have not bought any American tin plate. Do not know wu'ere it is made.” Cincinnati—“We have not bought or seen any American tin or terne plates for commercial use; onlv political.” Philadelphia—“ w e have not been able to buy a single sheet of American tin plate. Pittsburgh—“ Cannot get any, but wo’d like to.”

Milwaukee-"We have not had any American tiD plate offered to ns consequently we have not made any purchases.” Fifteen of thosowho replied to the,-ir-cnlar wrote that they had purchased American-made tin plates. Some of the answers were as follows: Sioux City, lowa—“Five boxes.” St. Louis—“ Sixty boxes bought and delivered in May, .1891. Cleveland—“ One box, tut price too high for us. ” Toledo—“ Ten boxes, Prioes about equal to imported plates of same quality; no better.” Philadelphia- “Five boxes. We have had no plates offered us by any manufac. turer. The above were bought to try the quality." The total number of boxes reported by the fifteen purchasers is 665. A part of these are on hand in jobbers’ stores. It is not the extremes of heat and cold so much as the sudden changes in temperature thtt cause certain climates to be unhealthful. When, however, the system is invigorated with Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, these changes are rarely attended with injnrious results.

IMPORTANT SUGGESTION TO DEMOCRATS.

Indianapolis Sentinel. It would oe well for the party if every d mocratic county ticket could be placed in thd field before the state convention is held on the 21st of next month. Where this is impracticable the conventions sho’d be J eld as soon after that dute as possi ble. It is us. less to talk of a thorough state organization until the counties are organized, and it is equally oat of the question to gel a perfeot county organi. zation before a ticket is in the field. The state organization is like a huge machine, of which the organization of each oonnty is an individual but indispensable part. So 'ong as one county is unorganized the state is unorganized. Let the counties get their tickets in the field and their organizations perfected so that the march to victory may begin bright and early on the morning after the tate coi vention. For the cure of colds, coughs, and all aer ngements of the respiratory orgtns no other medicine is so reliable as Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. It relieves the asthmatic and consumptive, even in advanced stages of disease, and has saved innumerable lives.

“A FIRM ADHERENCE TO CORRECT PRINCIPLES.”

EXTRACTS FROM MR. McMILLIN’S GREAT PLEA FOR LESS TAXATION.

Hon Benton McMillin, of Tennessee, in opening the debate on the bill to put woo on the free list and reduce the duties on woolens, in part said: “Mr. Chairman: The last Congress imposed the highest tariff taxes ever levied m this country. It also made the most extravagant appropriations ever made here in time of peace. This Congress was sent here to correot both evils. The expenditures including ’permanent appropriations in the two years for whioh the last Congress appropriated, besides the deficiencies, aggregated $1,009,000,000, S4O per family annually, or ssoo,ooo,ooo—each year—about one-thirdof all the money in existence in tie United States When we take from our currency the $100,0(H),000 of fold held fcr redemption purposes in the ’reasury, the reserves required in the national banks, and the different reserves .held from circulation in other ways, we find that these expenditures reached annually between one-third and on -half of all the money in actual circulation. Can there be permanent prosperity while onehalf or even one third of all the money has to go through the hands of a Federal tax-gatherer every year, besides the taxes for State, oounty Snd municipal purposes? There is a remedy. Impose less taxes and spend less m >uey! That is what th s Congress means and means to do. “Mr. Chairman, the tariff law has now been in operation for one year and five months. Where are the beneficial effeots that we eto flow from it? Where is that magnificent price the farmer and wool gri wer was to realize from it? Where are the increased wages the laboring man was to get? Has that millennium of general prosperity its friends promised come?

“I speak in the hearing of the representatives of our 63,000,000 people. I see before me many men who voted for that monstrous measure. If the facts were with lbern they would proclaim them to the world. I defy contradiction when I say the farmer has realized from two to three oents less on the pound from his wool than he did before, The millennium *of prosperity has not yet dawned, and seems farther away than ever. And I challenge any representative here to point to a single line of manufactures in which the laborers’ wages have been increased by that law. * * * *•* .# m *

HIGH HATES op DUTY. “Sir, in the speech which I made on this tl or protesting against the passage c f this legal outrage. I gave, so far as it was possible ,in advance, the extortionate lates which would result if the McKinley bill became a law,

I told you th* n that blankets, flannels and hats would, on some of the lower grades, be taxed as high as 110 per cent. In the last heme consumption statemont from the. bureau of statistics, some blankets imported last year under this bill actually paid 100.12 per cent.; flannels for n derwear, 105.90 p reent.; andhats. 109.15. I told you, then, with some miggivings, I admit, as assuming responsibility for a statement so directly at variance witi. those of the then majoritythat the effect of the proposed rate on yarns would burden the wool manufacturer us well as th» people as high as 100 per cent, op some kinds; and your statistician tells you that under that bill there has been collected since its passage on thousands of pounds of yarns duties as hi h as 120 per cent. 1 warned you then that the proposed rates on worsted shawls won d amount to as much as 93 psr oent. Your statistician shows you that it is over 155 per cent. I told you that Knit goods wo'd have to pay under this bill as high as 147 per oent. Your statistician shows that they actually paid as high as 323 and over.

DUTY on wool. “The duty on wool was in 1867 placed at 11 cents a pound on unwashed wool. This was by an agreement entered into between the National Association of Wool Manufact rers and the National Association of Wool Growers; and they diet .ted the terms to congress. It was claimed that this would foster the sheep Industry and increase the value of wool to the far a er. Let us see what the results were. In 18t 8, the year after the enaotment of the law raising the duty on wool, there were 37,685,000 sheep in the Statesßeugt of the Missouri and Mississippi rivsrs. In 1891 there were only 18,476,000 sheep in the same territory, a reduction of more than one-half in the twenty-four years when high, tariff on wool had been in force—this in faoe of the faot that the population in those States was vastly increased. If the increase of heep had kept paoe with the increase of popnlation there would have been probably 75,000,000. “Great things were promised to the State of Ohio in the way of increase of the sheep husbandry by increased tax on wool. That State had in 1868 6,730,000 sheep; in 1870 it had only 4,928,000; in 1880, 4,080,000; in 1883, 5,050,000, an 1 in 1890 it had but 3,943,000, the ugh in 1891 it had 4,161,000. A falling off of more than one-third in the State of Ohio dnr*nß Ihe twenty-one years of protective tariff on wool, and in that time the population had increased more than 1,000,0 f 0. “Mr. Chairman, the results are not more encouraging in the State of Illinois, which had in 1868 2,730,000 sheep, and in 1891 only 771,000. So I might go on thro’ the Eastern States. A thorough investigation of the question shows that the increase in the sheep husbandry has been m the West, where the grazing was limitless and cheap. The price of wool at this time is. about one-half what it was at the time of the passage of the act, of March 2, 18t>7. The whole matter may be summed up in th • fact that after twentyfive years of experiment with h'vh rates O duty on wool, the renolt haa been a red icnon of one half in the number of seeep in states east of t 'e Mississippi and Missouri rivers, and^reduction of abont one-half in the pric. of wool. “8 r, it is s isceptible furthermore of demonsrration—we have had calculations made that sstabli-lithe fact—that r- ducfing the import duties to a gold basis during the j eriod prior to our resumption of specie payments, the Port Philip fleece wool, which corresponds to onr Ohio medium wool, has borne substantially the same price in London that the Ohio .vocl has borne in the ity of Boston. I cha - leugo eontrudiotion when 1 say that after all this enormous increase in the rates of duty on wool, tae average difference in the price of the two countries has not been 2 cents a pound.*

manufactukes bestbicted. “The wool manufacturers have been re, stricted as to the quality of wool they co’d afford to buv in the grease by reason of the tariff; they ave been restricted in markets substantially to theirown conntrv They ha e been forced to use shoddy as a substitute for woo*. The rags that had already fallen from the backs of beggars in other countries have been need as a substitute for wool. So great was this that a petiti n came up fre m ons city,

Philadelphia, signed by Mr. Herwig aud others, introduced by Mr. Harmer, a republican member and protectionist, claiming to represent 40,000 laborers in textile industries, . omanding free wool for the manufacture i of the United States, The tax of 11 cents a pound on wool, it must be remembered, is not a tax on pure wool, but is 11 cents a pound on all the grease of the wool, and all t dirt in too grease, aud i&Bßtimated to amount to 44 cents on every pound of f lushed cloth. “Let me read a few words from that petition; ‘Now, it oanuot be the difference in the wages that is causing all this, when tho entiie wags account in the worsted and woolen iuuugmos is but 17.7 percent, of the product and in the cotton industries is but 20.88 per cent, of thejproduot, and it stands to reason that this very smalt account can play but a very trifling part in internati'nal trade; and this aptly illustrates the folly of the great hubbub about wages that is made in most of the discussions of this question,’

“Bear in mind these are practical workmen, not the owners of hooks, not the owners of factories, but the men who, after tne commandment of God, ‘eat their biead in the sweat of their faoes.’ “Then the whole lebor oost in the manufacture of woolens and of worsteds is jess than 20 per cent., and in this bill the j lowest rate of duty is fixed at 25 per oent.! Then if any man goes forth from this hall who, moved an.i seduoed by ti e wiles of Satan and not having the fe. r of tho Lord before his eyes, deolares that there is not a sufficient amount of tax left on these things to cover the labor that is embraced in them, you can denounce him neither too-foolish to know the truth or too kna- I vish to declare it. ”

GO SOUTH VIA THE MONON ROUTE.

The equipment of this line is not surpassed by any other. Its rojd-bed and bridges have been thoroughly rebuilt, thus assuring passengers speed, safety and oomfort. Four fast trains leave Chicago daily, making close connection at Louisville and Cincinnati with the L. A N. RR., and Queen A Crescent Route for Jacksonville, New Orleans and the winter resorts of the South. The day trains are made up of day coaches, parlor and dining cars, vestibulad from end to end. The night trains consist of Pullman’s perfected vestibuled coaohoh, sleepers and compartment ears, with an extra sleeper for Indianapolis passengers, lighted by electricity, and heated by steam. In addition to the usual Pullman sloeper the fast night trains between Chicago and Cincinnati have compartment sleep' ing cars, just built for this line. ThiH feature is particularly “the thing” for families, bridal couples or parties traveling together The “Monon” is also the only road that that serves meals in a regular dining car, between Chicago and Cincinnati. On the whole, it is the most pleasant, comfortable and above all the most scenic route from Chicago to the Gulf or Atlantic coast. ]Fer full information regarding the cities of the South, how to reach them, etc., address any agent Monon Route, F.

EUROPEAN CITIES.

Some at Them Boro Grow* More Rapid!) than New York. There seems to tie something unpatriotic in pointlr-f out (ihat the growth of population In foreign countries may be as great as in our own; but it Is generally best In the end to accept the truth, without regard to consequences. To say ' othlng of some of the Bmaller German cities, which have gained In population with a rapidity which would surprise a Westerner, Berlin has grown, within the last sixty years, far more rapidly than New York. The population of the latter city, In 1830, was 302,589, and In 1? 9Q was about 1,400,000; while Berlin, In 1880, had only 147,009 Inhabitants, which had increased in 1890 to 1,574,485; the rate of growth during this long period being thus about one-half more rapid In Berlin than In New York. Within the last thirty years the difference is still greater, Berlin, from 528,000 inhabitants in 1861, having almost exactly trebled Its population In twentycine years, while New York had 814,287 nhabltants in 1830, and In thirty years baa added less than 80 per cent. London, by the census of 1891, has approxi mately 4,500,000 Inhabitants; Pa.is has -,450,000; and Vienna. 809.400. St i’etersharg Is more populous than Vienna, having very nearly 1,000,000 and Naples la not irary far behind.
