There might be abetter argument in favor of a protective tariff than that given in the testimony of Jarrett, yesterday, but it could hardly be put in as few words. He has been at the head of the largest organization of working men that ever existed in this countiy, and showed the committee that but for the tariff these workingmen would be idle.

The most interesting witness summoned by the senate committee engaged in compilinga'sortof scrap-book, is Jay Gould. He has of late years been talking quite freely, but he is a shrewd talker for himself. His newspapers frequently contain interviews with him, but they are always discovered to have been written with an ul terior purpose. Last winter he told the New York legislative committee much the same story given day before yesterday. It was a pleasant, inspiring autobiography, kind in its disclosures and merciful in its concealments, It ran easily over the' period from the time when he milked hi* father's cows to the later days when the public was his cow and he sheared llie "lambs, on Wall street. Great lawyers studied Euclid and Gould likewise. His early industry and application repeat the moral that even phenomenal success owes much to the labor that conquers all. His early partner committed suicide through no fault of Gould's since it is referred to. A later partner in the Gould conspiracy, not mention ed went crazy, after being used and flung aside, ruined by the Erie ring, There are numerous statements in this story that while in theory and perhaps in actual economy are false in Gould's experience. We might begin with the philanthropic claim that he bought the control of the Western Union, merely to give Eckert a job. There is not so much water in W. U. as in other companies to be named, said Gould. This is probably true, for we know of the Erie li. R., on which Fisk A Co. issued $40,000,000 extra stock, nearly as much as has been put out on 1Tr.i ..-ra Union account. The witness adds that the W. U. stock now in the1 market will probably be all absorbed by bona fide investors in a few years. So it will, and a large part of the Gould stock will be benevolently slid in at a fair price—and then prices will fall.

Mr. Gould asserts that no company can compete with the Western Union, but later on remarked that no company could acquire an exclusive privilege, which disposes of the first statement. He did not think speculation in foodsupplies could affect prices materially, nor that speculation in stocks was unfair, for usually every operation in stocks represented an actual transfer of stock, but he failed to add, "in my inind." .This question of stock and grain speculation and of "corners" has been investigated before by committees, and as yet no one has got past Gould's position. Much speculation is legitimate and unavoidable and many sales bona fide, or how did Gould himself gobble so many concerns But running along side of all this are such conspiracies as that of "Black Friday," when Gould, Fisk, Smith and Belden combined to control all the gold coin in New York—$25,000,000 in the banks and $75,000,000 in the United States sub-treasury. It was at this time that to Fisk's impudent question as to what the government would do, Grant replied: "It would be hardly fair to tell you, would it?" This was all the clique ever heard from Grant. Belying upon the public money being unavailable the ring bought gold. Belden bought $20,000,000 in a day, without paying a dollar. Speyers bought $26,000,000 which is not yet paid for. The whole short interest was $250,000,000. This was

very like much of the stock speculation which Gould says represents actual sales. The gold conspiracy broke down. It was too big to be carried through but it struck the credit and wealth of the country a blow under which they reeled, and substantial fortunes melted never to reappear.

The Brazil bank suspended payment yesterday.

Liabilities, $75,000 assets over $100,000. The general impression is that the bank will be allowed to wind up without litigation.

COMMISSIONER DUDLEY.

He |is not a Candidate for Governor— Publication of the New Penilon lilt. Indianapolis Journal. "Am I here to look after my gubeinatorial fences?" Colonel W. W. Dudley, commissioner of pensions, repeated after the report^ yesterday. "No am not a candidate for governor. Not that I would not desire that position for I would like to be governor of Indiana. But I have not the money to enter a race of that kind, and I could not afford to allow my friends to ad vance the money for me." Colonel

Dudley dropped in here from Washington on his way to Lafayette, whith er he took his son to Purdue University last evening. The colonel will stop here again on his return. He is in admirable health and genial and cheerful as of yore. "If you want to interview me," he continued, "ask me something about the election of 1868." "No, I'll spare you. Is the Work in your office far ahead of you new?" "Not at all. We can settle any case now promptly when application is made and the proper proofs are presented." "Will the publication of the pension list save enough by the exposure ef frauds to pay its cost?" "I don't know, but we will all know after a while. Senator Beck, the mover of the resolution that brought about the publication, thinks it will. The first estimate of the public printer to make a quarto edition to' print the usual number for executive documents was $57,500. Wnen the copy was sent in to him he made another estimate,for octavo size and the cost was reduced to $30,000. The number of cop •ies provided by statute is, I think 1,900, which will be in seven volumes, I have asked the secretary of the interior to request the printing for me of as many extra copies as can be allowed, promising that I will see that each pension agent has one, and also to give it the widest publication through the newspapers that I can. The list will probably be finished by the printer within a month and will be circulated as the senate may direct. There are about 300,000 nan:es, and each of the seven volumes will contain about 550 pages. The name of each pensioner is given, with postoffice, certificate of dis ability and amount of yearly pension

The Dakota Wbeat Crop. Chicago Inter-Ocean. The Dakota wheat crop, which not long ago wus in peril, is now being harvested, and, thanks to recent rains, is much larger than was anticipated. The average yield in the Bed river valley will be eighteen or twenty bushels to the acre of No. 1 hard, and along the line of the Northern Pacific it is said to be quite as abundant. This is the eighth crop that has been harvested in that section, and there has been no failure, no year when farmers were not better off at the end than at the commencement of the season, and the quality of the soil may be considered fully tested. There have been floods and droughts, hailstorms and grasshoppers, but the annual yield has been about the same, and the quality of the grain has been unexcelled—so fine that none of the old names would fit it—and anew one —No. 1 hard—invented to describe its peculiar excellence. Individual farmers have met with losses, to be sure hailstorms have made the employment of harvesters unnecessary, and floods have~made lakes in the gelds, but the general experience year in and year out has been such as to justify all the Inter Ocean has said of the land and its resources.

The following is the report of the Hon. James Baynes, United States statistician for Dakota for the month of August, to the commissioner of agriculture:

The month of August closes with the harvest nearly ended in South Dakota, and rapidly approaching completion in Nortn Dakota.

A week of rainy weather, with southwest winds, injured the wheat and other grain in shock slightly, and caused some growing and bleaching of the berry, thereby lowering the quality a little. The weather changed just in time to prevent a victorious harvest being turned into a disastrous defeat. The wind changed to the west and northwest with a stiff cool breeze and quickly dried out the grain ready for stacking. A noticeable feature of the harvest was the slow and deliberate manner in which the grain ripened, the ground being damp and the weather cool, it matured fully without any forcing process. The thrashers have been at work for a week in South Dakota and the yield thus far is exceeding the expectations of farmers the extremes in Hanson countv being 16 and 35 bushels with a probable average of 22 bushels. The report from Beadle county is exceptionally flattering, one field reporting at 37 2-3 bushels, of 60 pounds. The weather is now excellent for thrashng. That being thrashed is moving to market liberally, the elevator men paying from 75 cents to 80 cents for No. 2.

Minnesota's wheat yield is estimated at 36,550,000 bushels. California's wheat crop is as good as old gold, and plenty of it.

The August crop report from the Memphis district savs the outlook for the cotton crop is not encouraging.

The Ohio crop report for September estimates the wheat yield At 24,000,000 bushels, which is but little more than half a crop. Of oats there will be 29,000,000 bushels, against 19,000,000 last year,

A Jolly Prince.

Cincinnati Enquirer's New York Special. According to Miss Mainstone, an English burlesque actress, who arrived here on Saturday, the Prince of Wales makes himself at home in the company of actresses. She describes meeting him at the house of a friend, and addressed him as sir. "You musn't call me sir, that is, if we are to be friends." "Then how am I to address your royal highness "Come, now, cut that, you know. Call me Princey." So I called him Princey, and we both burst out laughing, the situation wasso comical. Then Albert Edward took the cushions off the lounge and sat upon one of them upon the floor. "Aren't these chairs comfortable?" inquired. Princey said he hated chairs, they always reminded him of official dinners, but when he wanted to feel at home he invariably took this method of making himself comfortable. "Now, Grace," he said, "before we go into luncheon I want you to favor my friend with one of your impersonations. Miss Chopsey will play for you." Of course I could not ve: well refuse, and as my constraint long passed off I complied. I took in the humor of the thing, and I_ don't think I ever acted better, finishing up with a song and dance which made Albert Edward laugh till the tears rolled down his cheeks. Then we went into lunch—a couple of cutlets or so, with brown stout. Take it altogether, we had one of the jolliest afternoons I ever spent."

The logsniport'i Business. A Vandalia official said yesterday that business on the Logans port division had been heavier for August than for any other month since the road bas been in the hands of the T. H. & I. people, or even since it has been trail t. The complete statement of the amount of business has not yet been received, but it is estimated the earnings will be far in excess of any previous month. Not only has freight business been excellent, but passenger also. August is a good month for the Logansport division. This months business was greater than any other last year, and the same will hold good this year. Several fairs were held at towns along the line during the month, and these contributed to the increase. The official added that the "Pumpkin vine" would be gotten out of the woods when the road got through building.

The I, T. Hi Bond.

IndianapolisJournal. 1 A railroad official, who is well posted as regards the financial condition of the EvanBville & Terre Haute railroad company, and as to the physical condition of the road-bed and equipments expresses tears that President Mackey has undertaken to do more than the earnings of the road will justify, and that in so doing the property is deteriorating in value. Prior to President Mackey taking control of the property it was regarded as the best railroad property, aside from the Terre Haute 6 Indianapolis road, in the state. The road then had a bonded debt of $3,000,' 000, and a stock debt of $1,000,000. The stock was increased to $3,000,000, and President Mackey (and it may be said to his credit) is attempting to pay the same per cent, of dividends on the $3,000,000 which was paid on the $1,000,000, as well as the fixed charges and operating expenses, which, as the expression goes, is more than the road "can stand up to." Such an effort is forcing President Mackey to cut down operating fexpenses by letting good men go in official positions, and also the cutting down of the pay of the men generally, and it is stated that the road-bed and equipments, which have always been regarded as among the best, are not being maintained in excellence. The present indebtedness of the road is:

Funded debt, $3,000,000 stock, $3,000,000, other liabilities, $461,386.66. The syndicate which owns the stock in the Louisville & Nashville railroad company, 4.40 percent the Chicago & Eastern Illinois, 3.40 President Mackey and the city of Evansville, 2 20. On accepting the presidency, President Mackey guaranteed, it is stated, that the earnings of the road should pay fixed charges, operating expenses, and 7 per cent® dividend on the stock.

The Game With the Danville Club Yesterday—Packard's... Plea—The Biverside6 Vincennes Game. -c

The Terre Hautes, after' losing seven games in succession gained another,victoiy yesterday afternoon, at the park, over the Danville Browns. The score was 9 to 4. A rather small crowd was in attendance and there was very little interest in the game as it was a onesided affair from the start. OurboyB were sent to the bat and took the lead which they maintained until the end,

The .battery for our bovs was Mur phy and Krehmeyer, although Dagnan was behind the bat the firat inning but being hit with the bat was compelled to exchange places with Krehmeyer. McCauley pitched for the visitors and the familiar form of Jerry O'Brien was seen behind the bat. Phillips, of Indianapolis, umpired and was very impartial in his decisions. Further particulars will be found in the following

There is also a running race, There will be two Terre Haute voyagers in the balloon to-day, Jack Reed of Ford & Ovens', and' Fen Dowling. The ascension will be made at 2 o'clock Thre are likely to be several short ascensions during the day if the weather continues favorable. The schools close, as will many business houses.
