THE MILLS BILL FREE TRADE.
ills evident from the events of the past few weeks that the progress towards free trade In the United States lias been much greater than was generally expected. However much the manufacliirltig interests may deny It, the fact 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 maiuitactiircrs look with very much Interest on the movement which Is now going on "on the oth-r side." for trade there so ultimately Influences our own. London Iron and Coal Trades Review, July "7, 1NSH.
The tat-Ill' bill In the United States has passed the house of representatives by llil to ll'J^votes. The bulk or Hie people are beginning to set their backs up at paying thro' the nose lor their Iron and steel and other commodities. As It stands now the states are decidedly going lor free trade, and this will be the Democratic cry at tlie next election. London Iron Trade Circular, July is, 1HNN.
The president feels compelled to characterize the attempt to brand him as a free trader as deception, but lor all that the electoral contllct rumMi progress is a contllct between tree trade and proleiMloii Mild nothing else. London News. July (i. ISSN.
II Is certain that the arguments which President Cleveland urges are those which Cobden used to employ forty live years ago, and which any Fngllsh tree trailer would employ now.—| London Times. July ti. 1HSS.
The Mills bill puts on the free list articles which last ear paid dutles.aniounting to nearly S'JUKH000. It Is theretorejplain that It declares for:
Free trade In lumber, which we produce to the value of j.:m,lKl0.nW annually. Free trade In wool, of which we produce over pounds annually.
Free tr.'de in salt, of which we produce nearly -liI.IK* 1,000 bushels annually. Free trade In ilax. hemp, jute and other tlbers.
Free trade In potash, lime and brick. Free trade in meats, game and poultry. Free trade In vegetables, pe is and Ix-ans. Free trade In marble and stone. Free trade In at least one hundred other articles produced In tills country, most of which would be produced in sullielent quantities tor home consumption II' properly protected.
I believe In free trade as 1 believe in the Protestant religion, rover Cleveland. All trade should be as free 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.— Uogcr y. Mills.

Tho linliiinnpolis News of last evening in an editorial on the comment of
the English press on the fisheries message in naming three things for which "the English people are distinguished pre-eminently" gives one of them as "the deft UBe of money to corrupt when other means fail. Recently the
NewB
said the Express was
stooping to demagogy in charging that the English people were trying to secure free trade in this country by furnishing money for th© D©rnocrfitic cfinipftign fund.
The Gazette rejoices that L«ord Sully has been forced to give up his lands in Illinois. However, the Gazette wants Txrd Sully's countrymen to have full control of the market in this country.
In its report of the Gray meeting at Paris, Saturday, the Gazette bupressed the name of Mr. Lamb, whose speech was the event of the evening meeting. Has the Gazette joined the kickers?
If the Cleveland administration remain in power another four years the revenues will have to be increased inntead of decreased. The New York Tribune gets at "the bottom fact" as follows:
The bottom fact or the business Is that President Cleveland. the rerormerand head of the economical Democracy, will have spent $95,000,0(X) more lor four years than Presidents (iarlleld and Arthur In the latest term of Republican administration. If the pressldent did not think .the money ought to be expended lie had power to veto bills, and In most wises also had power to prevent expenditures which were left to executive discretion, lie has Uiken the money and thus far lias spent It, and his administration has every year asked for more. Kvery ar It has Implored a Democratic majority in the house to vote vastly larger sums than even ills partisan friends were willing to vole, and the sums actually voted were vastly larger than a Republican administration received from congress. Thus the Democratic false pretense of economy In admlntstratlon goes where the false pretense of reform In the civil service ts gone. In both respects the party has been trying to deceive the people.
The ltev. Holllngsworth was Justly Indignant In his sermon on Sabbath desecration at those employers who robbed their employes of their right to one day of rest In seven by keeping their places of business open on Sunday. The (iazette entirely sympathises with liltn. Men who rob others of their rellow meu oi their right to rest by requiring them to work more than they ought, un Sunday or any other day, are justly deserving of censure. Tills Is precisely the gravemen ot the (iazette's Indictment against the tariff laws protecting trusts and monopolies and which, by their operation, require ninety-nine out of every hundred of us to work an extra hour or so every day, and, perhaps, on Sunday too, In order that the hundredth man may be so protected that lie needn't work at all, and may spend Ills time In the Indulgence of wasteful extravagance.
This is from the Gazette and is but the opening paragraph of a long article on the tariff. We give space to this much of it to show that the most noticeable phase of insanity—the perversion of all things to the one cause of the disease—is not lacking in our esteemed contemporary. The perversion in this instance is grotesquely painful.
Since, however, it has made a tariff issue out of the Sunday closing question let us look at it in that light. The Rev. Mr. Hollingsworth's argument was that the closing of mercantile houses on Sunday was but a step iu the direction of closing saloons. The Gazette conveniently suppressed all that part of his sermon. The Gazette's party is receiving contributions from the class of saloons that violate the law and the monoy thus secured indirectly reaches the Gazette. Therefore it is, we say, that the Gazette is being aided in its effort to desseminate free trade doctrine by the money of those "who rob others of their fellow meu," to use its own language. Hy suppressing the main point of Mr. Hollingsworth's sermon, it endorses the movement to close the stores on Sunday, but refuses to sanction the closing of saloons on Sunday or the all-night gambling saloons.
REFORM.
The following is from the Detroit Tribune: From every part of the country are coming charges that the machinery or the great postotllce department Is being worked to Its full capacity to aid Mr. Cleveland's etlorts to re-elect himseir president. Richard Smith, or the Cincinnati Commercial (iazette, charges that that paper In being transmitted through the postolllces of Ohio Is delayed, while Democratic campaign documents can be Inserted In the wrappers and tlms delivered to Republicans. The Albany Journal also complains of gross carelessness and neglect in regard to papers sent from Its office. The Tribune lias the same experience. It receives more complaints from subscribers who miss their papers or fall to receive tItem promptly In a single week than were received In three months before the Cleveland administration began to "reform" the postal service by placing It in the hands of Incompetent Democratic partisans who are either very careless or Intentionally discriminate against the Tribune.
From every direction comes the proof of this sort of thing. Democratic newspapers reach Republicans stuck in the wrappers of their Republican paper. A few days ago a gentleman in this city sent a postal card to Congressman Johnston, asking for tariff documents. He promptly received a lot of Democratic tariff literature under Senator Voorhees' frank. This might have been a coincidence but for the fact that he gave his new address on the postal card, a number and street to which he had moved but a day or two previous, and the Voorhees envelope came to him at that adress.

THE QUESTION" IN A NUTSHELL.
John Wanumuker'H Talk With an Kngllsli Manufacturer. The whole question of protection is herewith given in a nutshell. It is a striking statement from an eminent British manufacturer, whose views, recently given to John Wanamaker of Philadelphia are reproduced in the columns of the Philadelphia Press. Said Mr. Wanamaker to a representative of that paper:
One of the best known manufacturers of (ireat Britain, an old and very able business man and a member of parliament, said to me when visiting this country some months ago: 'Give us some special orders: we have not been able for a long time to run all our looms, and we will be willing to set apart certain looms for you and make any specialties you
wiBh
and confine the goods solely to
your house.' "Why don't you run all your machinery?" I asked. "Vour confounded protection is our trouble." he answered. "Well, then, pull up stakes and move one of your large factories over here. America would welcome such an industry as yours."
The very wise and prompt reply of the British legislator and manufacturer was: "If you can guarantee that protection will remain as it now is, we will move our stock over here immediately—" "Ah, then,'
Baid
if
Mr. Wanamaker,
"when you have your looms and works in Europe you are opposed to protection in America but if you moved over here you would insist upon having it. As an Englishman you are down on protection, but
your interests were in America you would demand it. Your consistency is not as clear as your self interest."
THE CITY TKACIIEKS.
Tlio Institute llelng Held This Week nt the IllKli School.
Tho city teachers met in annual institute in the Iligh school building yesterday morning. Some of the older teachers 6aid there was never a more auspicious openisg. Superintendent Wiley is in charge. After the opening exercises Professor Boone, of the State university, devoted forty minutes to a discussion of psychology. Professor Byers followed in a discussion of civics, lie began with the simplest form of government, the township, and discussed it in detail, also the county. He explained the raising of taxes and their expenditure and discussed the various ollicers, their duties and powers. Professor 11. FJ. llumke, of the Normal, lectured on reading and literature, lie used diagrams and outlines and his work was of a preparatory nature of that which follows. At the afternoon session Professor Boone discussed heredity as a division of his theme, "Aspects of Education." He talked upon what could be done with heredity. By a careful study of children and their ancestors a better understanding of the pupils is obtained, and they c.in more easily be instructed, and held under better control. Miss Emily W. Peakes discussed the least common multiple, greatest common diuisor and factoring. Professor Carhart, of DePauw, dropped in unexpectedly and gave a talk upon the children's reading circle, a new organization similar to the teachers' reading circle. Pupils may be taught how to read in the schaols but it is maintained that a course should be aligned for them to read. The exercises of the day closed with a song by Miss Ilattie Paige.
.The Situation is Simple—It is This.
The New York Sun (Dern.) of September 1 says: We observe that the Hon. Roger Q. Mills is still stumping the country. He continues to aver that the Democratic party meaning, of course, the Democratic party as inspired, dominated, and directed by President Cleveland, Mr. Mills, and his other lieutenants—is not for free trade.
This we consider to be a statement which is not justified by the facts. The moment that Mr. Cleveland's pen wrote to congress that the internal revenue system should sland, and that future reductions iu revenue should be made by reducing tho tariff, the Democracy, in so far as it was committed to Mr. Cleveland, became committed to free trade.
We spend a great deal of money today Jfor things on which after a time we shall spend little or nothing, for example, iu paying off the national debt. These calls upon the treasury will for the greater part cease within twenty years, and then, if Mr. Cleveland's policy in dealing with the situation is to be followed, the protective tariff must practically be swept away, The internal revenue will then be sufficient to pay both the pensions and the other Federal expenses. Mr. Mills may not be for free trade for to-morrow night but to say that he is not for free trade does not correspond with the inexorable demand of his policy.
The Sun is for the unanimously nominated Democratic candidates but there shall be no hoodwinking that we can help in this canvass. Let the free traders carry the country by all means not cheat it.
Ilovev's Political Antecedents. l.et's see was not lloveya Democrat'.' Did lie not hold a federal appointment under President Huchanan'.' We direct the attention of the Knterprise to these points, as our contemporary has several limes in the past committed Itself vigorously on renegades. Democrat.
Right you are and so was John A. Logan a Democrat but whan they saw their party determined to destroy this government, they, with thousands of other honest Democrats, shouldered their muskets and swore it should not be done. Every bullet, every shot and shell that was thrown at them by the Solid South was engraved "Democracy" and plainly whistled "secession" and "disunion" as they passed through the air on their mission of death. Yes, llovey was a Democrat, but at Champion Hills he made ample apology for having championed the cause of the only party ever arrayed in arms against this government. But. let us see wtis not Matson and all of the name Republicans until the Republican party, failing to see the marks of a statesman in the doughty pension-killer, refused to give him the oflice to which he aspired? Wasn't Gray a Republican until he was in like manner sat down upon? We direct the attention of the Democrat to these facts.—[Brazil Enterprise.
General llovey anl the Hebrew Vote.
Rabbi Messing, of Indianapolis, says that while heretofore the Hebrews have been about equally divided in support of the presidential candidates, that this year they will be nearly unanimous for "Harrison. He says: "I was interviewed some days ago by a reporter on the Louisville Courier-Journal, and I understand I was misrepresented by him in regard to the feeling that our people have toward General llovey. I did not say that we would not support him for governor because he is against the Jews, as the reporter put it. I regard

the order General Hovey is said to have, issued during the late war, ae all right only I believe it would have been better if he had hung all those who disclosed his secrets. General Grant did the Bame thing, and I did not hold General Hovey guilty of any offense against the Hebrews, aa a class, whatever. Any man is liable "to give utterance to words in high excitement that in his Bober moments he will regret, and I am not going to believe anything about any man until I am firmly convinced of his guilt. I do not believe General Hovey is the man to condemn a whole race on account of the sins of a few, and, while General Harrison will receive our entire support General Hovey need not fear for his own safety.
POLITICAL COMMENT.
Newark News: If the Democratic state committee must sleep it should at least have life enough to snore.
New York Sun: (ire it Britain has ruined every country In the world which she has persuaded or forced into free trade.
Philadelphia Times: A portion or the row over Brlee Is made clear by the assertion that he sleeps on the bung hole of his bar'l.
Philadelphia Press: There Is one variety of llsh that Mr. Cleveland ought to be tolerably well acquainted with by tills time. We mean the crawllsh.
The St. Louis (ilobe-Democrat says that "Illinois' majorities for Harrison and Flfer will probably reach 35,(XX) or 1(1.000, and may possibly touch the 45,(XX) mark."
Inter Ocean: No Republican candidate for the presidency ever yet contributed money for the purpose of his own re-election. It has remained for the boasted exponent of civil service reform to plank down §10,(XX) for such puriioge.
New York World (I)eni.): It Is announced that President Cleveland has sent Ills check for $10,000 to the national Democratic committee. If tills be true he has proclaimed himself a pernicious active partisan. Why should not every federal officeholder contribute to the campaign fund as well as the president? Let us have no hypocrisy.
New York Tribune We do not believe that the sane man lives who doesn't honestly think that President Cleveland's real motive In writing that message is to counteract by sounding words the Impression which all the acts of his administration have produced that lie Is weak and timid, short-sighted and credulous In Ills dealings with foreign powers.
Minneapolis Tribune: There has never been a more "extravagant" administration In power than the present one, and yet Sir. Cleveland continues to prate about economy, the Democratic platforms of this year repeat the nonsense of four years ago, and old Thurman Is touring around the country arguing against the evidence furnished by the olilclal llgures of the treasury department. Verily, for pure gall and unblushing hypocrisy the Democratic party easily beats Ills Infernal majesty.
New York Post: Protection, high license and a free ballot are the key-notes and the platform— ii fitting endorsement of the national convention at Chicago. On those three beads the Republicans of the Empire state have put themselves fairly and squarely In line with Ihe National party, and have as the largest state should do, shown other Republicans in otiier states Just how a Republican convention should do its work In a campaign year. Harmonious and aggressive, its success Is an omen of victory at the polls.

Death of Dennis (inlliiclior.
Dennis Gallagher was found dead iu his cell in one of the upper wards of the main building of the jail yesterday morning. Jailor DeLune was up at 15 o'clock iu the morning and saw Gallagher at that hour.

No Politics I'ntil October.
In a New York club house is posted a notice that any member caught talking politics in the club, or known to have done so outside of it, previous to the 1st of October, will be lined champagne for the informers and such friends as they may invite. The other evening one member asked another if General Harrison, the Republican candidate, did not bust
up his bank and rob a lot of people by so doing, and the other answered that ti was dot General Ben Harrison, but another Harrison, who broke the bank. They were accused of talking politics, and, in spite of their defense that it was business, and not politics, they were found guilty and fined.
THE NEW CITY BUILDING.
The Plans of the City Engineer Adopted— How to Get the Money. The members of the police board and the mayor met yesterday to consider the plans prepared by Mr. Simpson for the city building for the police department. The plans were examined by the board. It was thought that the new building would be adequate for at least half a century. It will occupy the entire space in the rear of the market house where now stands the fire traps used by the street commissioner, enginoer and police. "Those old buildings," said Commisioner Sanderson,"are worse than many we have condemned." Engineer Simpson said he had obtained estimates upon the different work on the building, and placed the entire cost at SO,000. The mayor said that when bids were received it would be found that the building could be put up for §500 less. Mr. Sa dereon thought $500 in excess of the estimate more likely, and the cigars were bet on the result. While Mayor Kolst looked over the plans, he inquired, "gen tlemen, where is the money to come from?" Councilman Hybarger replied that the mayor or city treasurer could furnish it. With the city wonderfully in debt it is a question yet to be determined how the funds a*e to be secured. The board will report the adoption of the plans to the council and it will rest with that body as to what action shall be taken. The present city building, commonly called the market house, was erected at a cost of over 832,000, although it could now be built for about half the amount. Brick were then $8 and 89 a thousand. The nsurance on the building is 815,500, which is considered by some more than there is necessity for carrying.
Opening of Court.
Both Superior and Circuit courts were opened yesterday for the September term. In the former Judge Allen was on the bench for a short time, but nothing of importance was transacted. The docket will be called this morning.
Judge Mack in the Circuit court called the probate administrators and guardians' docket, and to-day will set down civil cases. The court set a number of criminal cases for trial on Thursday and Saturday. All are for misdemeanors. The petit jury will be summoned for next Monday morning.
There will be no court in the Circuit on Friday. The Sixth cavalry will hold a reception during the day in the room.

CINCINNATI, September 3.—Joseph Dumas fatally injured Henry Kline, an 11-year-old boy, yesterday afternoon, by striking him on the head with a base ball bat. Dumas had been sent to hold the public ground for a game of base ball, and when the crowd encroached upon it he rushed at them with the bat. The boy Kline was standing with his back to Dumas, and it is said the man deliberately struck the boy on the head, causing concussion of the brain. Dumas fled, but was captured later. -w
