THE MILLS BILL-FREE TRADE.

It Is evident from the events ol the past few weeks thai the progress towards free trade In the Pulled States has been much greater than was generally expected. However much the manufarturltig Interests may deny It. the raet is patent that great progress has been made on the road toward absolute free trade, and particularly has tills been the case since the date ol the delivery of the president's message. Our Iron and steel nianiilacturers look with very much Interest on the movement which Is now going on "on the otiiT side," Cor trade there so ultimately InItnences our own. London Iron and Coal Trades Review, July '11, ltvNS.

The tarlll bill in the I'nlted States has passed the house ol representatives by 161 to 14SI "votes. The bulk or the people are beginning to set their backs up at paying thro" the nose ror their Iron ami sleel and other commodities. As It stands now the states are decidedly going lor Tree trade, anil this will be the Democratic cry at the next election. I London Iron Trade Circular. July 2S,

INKS.

The president feels compelled to characterize the attempt to brand him as a tree trader as deception, but lor all that the electoral conflict now in progress Is a eontilct between free trade and protection and nothing else.- London News. July li. lStvS.

It is certain that the arguments which President Cleveland urges are those which Cobilen used to employ torty-ilve years ago. and which any English Iree trader would employ now.—[ London Times, July (!, 1(^.

The Mills bill puts on the Tree list articles which last year paid duties amounting to nearly $20,000.t**i. It Is tlieretorelplaln that it declares for:

Free trade In lumber, which we produce to the value or jiiUXUXXUKH) annually. Free trade In wool, or which we produce over ym.OWUKKi pounds- annually.

Free trade In salt, of which we produce nearly •IU.IKKUKXI bushels annually. Free.trade In Max. hemp, jute and other libers.

Free trade In potash, lime and brick. Free trade In meals, game and poultry. Free trade In vegetables, peas and beans. Free trade in marble and stone. Free trade In at least one hundred other articles produced In this country, most of which would be produced In sutllclent quantities for home consumption If property protected.

I believe I" tree trade as 1 believe In the Protestant religion, (irover Cleveland. Ail trade should be as tree as possible.—Speaker Carlisle.

I desire free trade, and I will not help to perfect any law that stands In the way or tree trade.— Roger Q. Mills.

The Democratic party Is a Tree trade party or It Is nothing. The Denuvrat who Is not a freetrader should go elsewhere. Henry Watterson.

Add to the free list as many articles as possible. Reduce duties upon every dutiable article to the lowest point possible.- Secretary Falrchlld. it would be a glorious consummation of this debate could we only have gentlemen on the other side join In this Invocation to paper and to type, and to the hearts of honest men. to dear the way lor British Colxlen tree trade. S. S. Cox.

Mr. Cleveland stands before the country a ehamplon of tree trade. Mr. Mills" speech Is a manly, vigorous, and most effective free trade speech.— Henry (ieorge.

If we did not require money to defray the expenses of government 1 would le an absolute and uncompromising freeteader.—Congressman Hare.

principle of protection: the Intelli­

gent recognition In the framing of our tariff laws, cf the duty to protect our American Industries and maintain the American scale of wages by adequate discriminating duties, on the one hand, and on the other, a denial of the constitutional right to make our customs duties protective, on the insertion of the doctrine that free competition with lorelgn products Is the Ideal condition to which all our legislation should tend.

The Gazette doesn't publish the interview with Mr. Lamb.

How many Republican manufacturers in buckram, Mr. Lamb?

The Vigo fair is an unprecedented success. It is so simply because it has been well advertised.

Will Governor Isaac .P. (!ray tell the Paris people Saturday night that he is in favor of "cheap coal," as he is advertised to do?

The Gazette joins in the slander of General Harrison that he said "a dollar a day is enough for a workingtnan." The average wages in the Gazette oflice is less than a dollar a day.

The Chicago newspapers are now as much given to tirades on "Anse" ("Anse" is the captain of the ball nine) as they were once on Carter Harrison. The nine will win the pennant.

In that New York interview Mr. Lamb was asked: "What accessions are the Republicans having in manufacturing towns as the result of Cleveland's free trade"policy?"Mr.Lamb replied, "that is all a myth so far as Indiana is concerned,"' but we desire to call attention to the fact that he accepts the "free trade" definition of Mr. Cleveland's policy.

While irresponsible men are signing statements, to which they dare not make oath for fear of being convicted of perjury, that General Harrison said certain things tending to show that he was a prejudiced enemy of railroad men in 1877, Mr. Artnur, chief of the Brotherhood of Engineers, and Mr. Sargent, chief of the Brotherhood of Firemen, say they have investigated the matter, and can conscientiously vote for General Harrison.

Two years ago Mr. Lamb and his friends in discussing his defeat made the point that the Democratic disaster in this district was not so serious as the defeat of McCullough in the Evansville district, that this district was in better shape, viewed from a Democratic standpoint, than the latter. Now, however, he says that the Democrats are "sure" of the Evansville district but that "we have a fair prospect" only of "reclaiming the Terre Haute district which I once represented." That, we would say, is putting a very low estimate on Dennis' strength.

Ex-Senator McDonald said at Indianapolis the other night: I believe that free trade between nations, as between Individuals, Is the foundation upon which commerce should rest, and that the government which most nearly approaches this policy consistent with a proper administration of Its affairs, will in the end. bestow the greatest benelit upon the people.

Uncle Joseph is a kindly old soul. Like the rest of us he wants the millenium to come quickly. Until we find other countries willing to deal with us in the spirit of the millenium wo had better look out for number one and the best way to do that is to protect number one from the competition of countries where labor is not so well paid as it is here. We may be heartily in favor of free trade, the federation of the world and the millenium, but we are not yet prepared to offer to these pauper labor nations the rich American market as our contribution to the much-desired state of affairs.

•'A DOLLAR A DAY."

The issue in the campaign is that proposed by Mr. Cleveland in his December message. He and his party propose to bring into competition with the American producer the product of foreign countries, where admittedly wages are far less than in the United States. .Everyone knows that the first element of cost in the process of reduction is the wages of the workingmau. This competition would reduce wages here, find "a dollar a day" would be a munificent remuneration.

No one denies that in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Indiana the Republican party is gaining votes among workingmen because the party is resolutely opposing the policy of Mr. Cleveland and his party. General Harrison realized this when when he said that he did not have time in this campaign to stop to deny that he was idiot enough to say that "a dollar a day" is sufficient pay for a workingtnan. Too much importance has been given to the slander and the consequence is that it is being discussed to the exclusion of the one issue which we know is the winning one.

HERE'S TO YOU, MR. CANNON.

If there is anything Mr. Joseph Cannon, of Illinois, wants from Indiana Republicans let him or his friends make it known, and the want shall not be a longfelt one. Mr. Cannon's district is just over the line, and naturally he has a close feeling for his party friends in this state. He also has such knowledge of the Indiana Democrat as can be acquired by long and close acquaintance.

When the Indianapolis congressman, Bynum, sought to make a point against Mr. Morton, Mr. Cannon quickly exposed the dishonorable and malicious misrepresentation and the following day he exposed Bynum as a forger of the Congressional Record wherein was reported what purported to be the exposure of the day before, Bynum having changed the report of the proceedings •before the printers got the manuscript from the official reporters. Mr. Cannon pointed with that left hand (which has so often done good service) at the Indianian who, this year, is covering himself

all over with disgrace and, figuratively speaking, gibbeted him in the presence of the house.

If, as we have said, Mr. Cannon wants anything from us he can have it. Meanwhile, here's to his good health and may his majority be larger than ever.

AN OFTEN REPEATED UNTRUTH. It hasn't been long since the Gazette said there was no protection for the farmer excepton wool. It was informed that vegetables, wheat, rye, barley, etc., were subject to a tariff duty yet here it comes again with"a list of the occupations of people unprotected by the tariff" with farmers at the head of the list. Of course the Gazette knows that this is not true. Will the Gazette please find in this from the British Baker, Confectioner and Purveyor of London, of date of August 1st, anything to substantiate its assertion that the farmer is not protected:

As much as 1,106,000 sacks of 168 pounds each of potatoes were shipped from this country to New York during the last nine months. These were mostly sent from Scotland only a comparatively lew additional were sent to New York trom the continent, some 8(1,000 bags. Besides those sent to New York potatoes were also sent to Philadelphia and one or two other ports,

A story is told on a constable on Wall street that causes considerable merriment. He was sent to serve a paper and was gone just three hours. When he returned his fee was §4.00. Inasmuch as the law allows ten cents mileage to constables it would follow that he had traveled forty-nine miles in the space of three hours. Anzious inquiries are being made as to how it were possible for the constable to get over so much territory in so short a space of time unless he took a railway train, although he was walking when last seen.

The wheat crop was small throughout the country and the fields plowed up in the spring and planted in oats did not yield as largely as anticipated. A prominent farmer of Fort Harrison prairie said that oats were poor on the prairie this year. The crop was smaller than it had been in years. The wheat crop was badly injured snd he chose to plow up his fields and sow them in oats. He says that he was not paid for his trouble on account of the small oats yield. Reports form other parts of the country are that a small oats crop was harvested. Corn is immense througout the country and the yield will be exceedingly large in some localities.

Hay fever seems to be epidemic in the city fit present. There are a great many cases, and when you meet a friend wearing goggles it is safe to say he is a sufferer. A number have gono north to find relief, but have returned unimproved. One afllicted individual, while he wiped his eyes, said in a husky voice: "I am praying for frost to como. I do not expect relief much before that time." The attacks of hay fever fire attributed to the peculiar weather. The days have been warm and the nights chilly. Many have taken cold. This is also good "chill weather," and there is considerable ngue. Physicians say that chills are gradually dying out in this valley, and there is much less malaria than formerly, owing to the improvement in the lands and better sanitary conditions.

1'lenty of Oysters in Sight.

To-morrow, the 1st of September, will usher in the oyster season. The prospect is that this season the crop of oysters from all the waters in the neighborhood of New York will be of excellent and extremely plentiful. The crop of East river will be unusually fine. The crop of oysters from the south side of Long Island promises to be fine. Rockaways, which are gathered in Jamaica Bay and all along the shore from Rockaway inlet as far east as Freenort, are in better condition than known to beat this season of the year for many years. There will be a good supply of "blue points" also.

A Novelty in AViitrlies.

A watch case now being made contains, instead of the usual numerals, twelve small but distinct silhouette figures representing a woman with a very young child in her arms. At 1 o'clock the lady and her little baby are clearly depicted, the infant being in long clothes. At 2 o'clock the same figures appear, but the child is a little larger. At I? o'clock mamma is still there, but the infant is in short clothes. At 4 o'clock and so on up to S o'clock, when he goes to school for the first time. At 9 o'clock he may be seen with his college gown and mortar board, and the happy smile of the elderly but happy mother. At 10 o'clock the death-bed scene, where he parts with his beloved mother. At 11 o'clock he is a middle-aged man, over whom the

In the list are railroad employes. The Gazette knows that perhaps one-third of the employes of the Vandalia road find employment because of the coal mining industry. A large proportion of the men employed by the E. & T. II., the C. & E. I., the I. it St. L., and especially of the Chicago & Indiana Coal road, are given employment by the coal traffic directly, while the cheap coal for manufacturing purposes, which the Gazette has often held out as an inducement to manufacturers to locate in Terre Haute, has indirectly protected thousands of men in occupations listed by the Gazette.

However, the Gazette will continue to assert that farmers, and even "coal dealers'—as it did yesterday—are not protected.

STRAY INFORMATION.

The new Court house is still an object of great interest, and yesterday there were a large number of visitors. In the afternoon the balcony around the top of the dome was crowded, and they seemed to remain much longer th'.n usual. It was learned that those on the balcony were patiently waiting to see the balloon at the Fair grounds. The Fair grounds can be plainly seen from the dome. During the races, now and then glimpses could be caught of the horses as they flew around the track. There were a number of field glasses taken up by those on the top of the dome, and those who had the patience beheld the flight of the balloon and the descent of the parachute. The dome is 200 feet high, the highest dome in the state.

STOLE FKOM THE CIIUKCII.

A IJclaiiltlnsTriistee Could Not Give ISoiul und Slept in a Cell.

Nkw York, August 30.—A defaulting church trustee spent last night in a Tombs cell, lie is Edward I. Stewart, 12 1 Berkeley street place, Brooklyn, and has been employed as a salesman with the wholesale millinery firm of Hill & Co., at Broadway and Canal street. The amount which Stewart is alleged to have stolen is §3,100.

In the month of October, 1881, a movement was set on foot which resulted in the raising of §11,100 for paying a debt which had been a burden on the church for many years. This money was paid to Mr. Stewart as treasurer, and he was instructed to satisfy the creditors of the church. The indebtedness consisted of a mortgage for §5,000, three trustee notes of §1,000 each, and another mortgage for §3.100. On December, 20, 1884, Treasurer Stewart satisfied the §5,000 mortgage, aud previous to that he had taken up the three notes between March 18,18Si, and April 20, 18Sf. He entered in his books this item of credit: "By bond and mortgage cancelled, §3,100." This was a false entry, though it sufliced to hoodwink Stewart's fellow trnstees. The mortgage was still in the hands of James M. Anderson, and no part of the principal has been paid- The defaulting treasurer, however, was very careful to pay the interest on the mortgage from his own pocket so that his rascality would not be discovered.

He made payments of interest regularly until March li), 1888, when the holder of the mortgage, James M. A nderson, communicated the fact that a payment of interest was due. This communication was addressed to the Rev. John llhey Thompson, pastor of the church. The information fell iike a bomb among the officials of the church, who had looked upon their treasurer as a man of the strictest integrity, only to find him an ingrate and a thief. Dhe matter was placed before Stewart's fellow trustees, and it was decided to prosecute him criminally. His bail was fixed at §2,000, but his employers refused to go on his bond, saying that Stewart had overdrawn his salary about §1")0.

31 It. J'LAINK'S ARTICLE.

It is a Kevlew of Cleveland'* Tariff and I'Mslierles Messages,

Nkw Vouk, August .30—Mr. Blaine will publish in the September numberof the American Magazine an article entitled "The T'resident's Hrror." It will be a review of Cleveland's tariff message, seeking to show the figures incorrect and the conclusions unwarrantdd and false. It argues that the president neglects to notice the effect a reduction of the tariff would have on the 2,000,000 men engaged in transportation on sea find land. Whatever impairs American manufactures strikes at the great transportation interests. Iron, coal and wool admitted free favor British ships at the expense of American railroads. Blaine declares the further the president goes the more deadly is the assault upon American industries.

VOICE OF THE BRITISH PRESS.

Showing How English Free Traders Interpret the Democratic Policy. Glasgow Herald: With President Cleveland, Great Britain knows where she is.

The Scotsman: If once the United States finds herself on the road to free trade she will hardly know where to stop.

The London Iron and Steel Traders' Journal speaks of the Democracy as "the party which advocates entire freedom of trade." lIuddington8hire Courier: We may look to an impetus being given to our home trade that will go far to make up for the depression of late years.

Dundee People's Journal: Should congress give effect to the proposal its immediate resuld would be an enormous stimulus to English industry.

Pall Mall Gazette: English free traders would be well advised if they moderated the ecstacy of their jubilation over President Cleveland's message.

London dispatch to. the New York World: It is considered here that free trade with us (in America) is just what is needed to revive drooping English industries.

London Saturday Review: He and they [Mr. Cleveland-and the Democratic leaders] have taken up again the old free trade policy of the South Carolina politicians.

London Standard: The only reform that common sense can accept is one which unaffectedly substitutes the principle of unimpeded imports for that of tariff regulations.

London Post: We shall be much mistaken if the effect of this state communication will not be to strengthen considerably the cause of free traders in all parts of the world.

London Globe: Mr. Cleveland has taken his 6taud on free trade. And on that broad question Mr. Cleveland's candidature naturally and necessarily carries English sympathy.

Saturday Review: They (the president and the Democratic leaders) have, from whatever motive, resolved to adopt a free trade policy. Nothing can be more explicit than the president's language.

London Standard: To American ears the whole messtige [Cleveland's! mustj be redolent of Cabdenism in a slightly modified form. The governing iesue of the contest will lie between protection and free trade.

London News: The electoral conflict now in progress is a conflict between free trade and protection, and nothing less. The stone now set rolling will not stop until it has broken the idol of protection to pieces.

London Times: The tariff can not be reduced to the strict proportions of a revenue corresponding to the limited aikl diminishing necessities of the federal government without admitting a great flood of foreign competition.

London Times: That import duties stifle production and limit the area of a country's markets is purely a free trade argument. As such we are glad to see President Cleveland using them, though we are sorry for the popular infatuation which makes it dangerous to give them their right name.

London People: If Mr. Cleveland should be re elected the United States tariff will be modified very materially in the direction of free trade, a result which can not, of course, fail to be beneficial to the trade of other countries, and especially of our own.

TO HEBUIL1) JERUSALEM.

A IVareable Crusade Started liy Woiiuin Under tlio Auspices of Masonry.

NKW YOKK, N. Y., August 30.—A scheme is being evolved in apartments on the second floor of 109 west Twentythird street by Mrs. II. Quimley, which, she says, will create quite a stir in Masonic circles wnen it is made public. The scheme was all loaded aud ready to be fired this coming Sunday, and in order that the public should have the earliest intelligence of it, Mrs. Quimley sent this notice to a newspaper efiice: "In memory of Dr. Robert Morris, Masonic poet laureate and founder or the order of Eastern Star, adoptive Free Masonry, a lecture will be given by the past associate grand matron on Jews, .Judaea, and Jerusalem also, a shrine will be dedicated at the Masonic temple, Sixth avenue and Twenty-third street, Sunday evening."

Mrs. Quimley notified the papers yes' terday that the affair had been postponed on account of an accident to somebody, but she imparted some information to a reporter. "The plan is," she said, "to get the people interested and to take up a collection for the purpose of buying the aucient city of Jerusalem and rebuilding the temple as a sort of monument for future generations. There is no reason why it should not be done, and I will notify you when the lecture comes off."

High License in fllinncsolit. Returns from nearly all the county seats in Minnesota show that high license has had the effect of reducing the numberof saloons in the state nearly one-half of the whole number under low license, the exact figures being a reduction from 2,S0t to l.'iOT.

Clienting In Chxinpiiigne.

In order to popularize their own wares the German champaigne makers are said to put German labels on French wine.

It is an absolute fact that there is not an ounce of Pond's Extk.vt sold which is not put up in their own bottles by Ponds Extract Co. It cannot be bought except in the Company's bottles. No Druggist can make it. No druggist can "put it up" for you. The only way to get the real Pond's Extract is to buy a bottle with the Company's strip over the cork, their name blown in the glass, and their landscape trade mark on the buff wrapper. Any druggist who would deceive you about this by selling you a cheap spurious imitation as Pond's Extract, saying that he "buys it by the bairel and puts it in bottles himself," is not a safe man to sell medicine or anything else.
