tendent o? Public Instruction. Wm. II. Bchutz, of Baraboo; Railroad Commissioner, Georg c. Prescott, North Greenfield. The ticket was completed by nominating the present Incumbents. The platform says the new tariff law afford substantial relief "and la a broad stride In the direction of accomplishing the results that the Democratic party has so lon contend for." The A. P. A. plank reads: "The Constitution forbids discrimination be4 on religious tests. The A. I. A. and like societies violating- this fundamental principle find their natural Place In the ranks of the Republicans, who are careles of the people's interests and will meet with the same rebuke at the hands of the people as a kindred movement which found expression in the Bennett law, and the Democratic party is "unalterably opposed to the principles of the A. P. A. and kindred un-American organizations." The labor plank follows: "We emphasize the fact that labor has the same right to legal organization ana protection as capital, and that provision should be made by arbitration or otherwise, for equitable and peaceable adjustment of the differences between the wage earner and his employer. We denounce as unjust and oppressive the system of maintaining Pullman stores practiced by many employers of labor and recommend the enactment of stringent prohibitory laws calculated to prevent a continuance thereof." Th income tax feature of the tariff bill meets approval and the administration' Of President Cleveland is commended as wlse. patriotic and courageous." The Congressional Cnmpnljrn. WASHINGTON.

AIDING THE STRICKEN

MIX.ESOTAS FIRE SUFFERERS SOT LIKKLV TO WANT. TltotinnlM of Hollar Contributed for Their Belief Three or Four 3Iore Dead Hod leu Found. PINE CITY. Minn.. S?pt 6. The worst had been told at Hinckley. There has been but one party of dead discovered since last night's reiort They were In a cellar wes of Hinckley, and It cannot be told whether tnre are three or four bodies, so badly are they burned. The work of draining the mill pond is progressing slowly, but the opinion Is that little will be revealed. A huge building for offices and shelter is amost Inclosed. The survivors have authorized their village organization to prepare an expression of their deep gratitude to the people all over the United States, who have come so generously to the aid of this stricken people. Supplies are coming Into Pine City rapidly, and there Is no lack in any department of the relief work. The commission of citizens of the State appointed by the Governor will go to Duluth to-morrow and return to Pine City for a general Inspection of the work that nan been performed and a careful estimate of the total relief ren.uired. Many Settler M-Mftlnff.

A correspondent of the Evening Post suggests that "the heroic conduct of the engineer and fireman of the train at Hinckley while the fire was raging around them deserves more than admiring appreciation," and incloses. . $ia for the engineer and $o for the fireman, of which the editor la asked to take charge. THE BALANCE OF TRADE. Comparison Between Democratic nnd Republican Administrations. New York Recorder. Bradstreet's and Dun's reports show a loss of $2,000,000,000 to trade since the Inauguration of President Cleveland. To this must be added about fifty millions of a dertclt in the national finances and fifty millions of bonds is3ued to carry on the government. If the results of the new tariff shoukl prove to be all that Its friends have claimed for It. it will. have to earn 'one thousand millions each year for the remainder of President Cleveland's term In order to place the government and the people in as good a condition financially as they were on the Sth day of November, 1832, when Grover Cleveland was elected. That Is more than any Democratic administration has ever accomplished yet. The Democrats were In power fifty-six years previous to the present term of Mr. Cleveland. For that Whole period the balance of trade in our favor amounted to about one million dollars per annum. So that if we are to depend upon the foreign trade it would take two thousand years of Democratic rulv? to bring back to us, at the same rate which the Democrats hava always gained, the amount lost In the last two years. From 1S74 to 18)4 there never was a deficit in the treasury, but on June 30, 1S!)4. under the present administration, the first deficit in that period of twenty years occurred. . Exports of domestic products are considered an indication of national prosperity. Exports pay d:bts, give activity to commerce and save the payment of specie on our imports. Balances must be paid In gold. Hence it is desirable that the balance of trade should be In our favor and not against us. Somehow or other. Democratic rule has marly always thrown the balance of trade against us. The Democrats came Into power with the Inauguration of Jeffern In 1S0L The batfjics of trade continued against us, with the exception of ten years, to the close of Buchanan's administration, covering a period of fifty-two years. Mr. Cleveland came in in liSl, and we held the balance of trade for two years during his term; so that we have a total of $171,947,891 excess of exports for tine whole number of years (fiftysix) in which the Democrats have had control, while the excess of exports for that period amounted to $1,124,711,034. The first Whig President, W. H. Harr!foa. was elected In 1S40 on a purely tariff Issue. Th? excess of exports In our favor for the four years of the Harrison-Tyler administration ($47,336,375) is a marvelous record, standing In the midst of all the years of Democratic tariff "for revenue," and showing a greater advantage to the United States than any other term from Jefferson to Grant The Republican came Into power In 1861 by the inauguration of President Lincoln. The balance of trade in 1S62 gave us an excess of a little more than $1.00C,oo, but the civil war drove trade agirst us by reaSim of the Southern blockade of more than one-half of the Atlantic coast, while we wr compelled to buy from foreign governments large quantities of munitions of war. clothing, blankets and other equipments necesasry to maintain the government and support the great army in the field. From 1SC6 to 1S73 was a period of enlarged credit, and in those exceptional years, of courre, we failed to hold the balance of trade. By 1S7S we nad become agMn a competitor In the world's trade. And from the close of the year 1S73 to the close of the year 1SST we hel 1 the balance of trade by more than $13,000,000,000, by which we recovered In ten years, under republican control, more than we lost In fLTty-sIx years under Democratic control. It Is greit bif fct that. for ten years from 1S73 to IS the Republican partv never scored less than a $72.0f0.oo,) favorable trade br.lance in any cne year, and the balance In our favor rechM In lSl the enormous sum of $2.7),000 COO. Per contra. Grover Cleveland, at the close of his F?cond year, 1SS7, found the balance of trade to be against us to the amount of $28,000,000. President Harrison came in in 1RS9 nnd found the balance of trade against us. His administration brought the balance of trade back to lis. and the third vear of his administration gave us $?"2.0O0 . excess of exports over Imports. This showing abundint'v indicates the policy of protection, or el.'e there is n ruth In the accented economic theory of the balance of trade. Hn the Clock Struck for Cnrllnlef New York Sun.

is In perfect health and his Intellect is '.in-; Impaired. His memory is astounding. A friend having congratulated him, the venerable statesman said: "I have really to be thankful to God. but at my age I am bound to take precautions. Yet I work a great deal, and hope to work till the end, and I have been In harness for seventy years. However, I give myself a little more rest than formerly. For many years I got up at 4 o'clock In the morning, and half an hour later I was at my desk. Now I get up at 6 o'clock because my servants are entitled to a little rest" A wood fire is kept up for him all day In good or bad weather. He writes and corrects hi3 proof sneets without spectacles. He takes a 112-ht dinner at 6 o'clock with a glass of water, and goes to bed a short time after. He says: "I understand living for work only. If you want to live to be old. be always at work and diligently. Do not listen to those who aspire to save enough money to rest They are lazy bodies." ROBERT J. 2:02 1-2. (Concluded from First Pace.)

Allx was to attempt to lower the world's trotting record, 2:04, held by Nancy Hanks, the queen of the trotting turf. When Allx was led out on the track after the first heat in the great match race had been won she seemed to be in the best of condition, and her driver, Andy McDowell, had reason to believe that Nancy Hanks's honors would be taken. So confident was he that he wrote on a slip of paper the time he proposed to have the little mare make, stuffed the paper into an envelope and, with a significant remark, gave it to a friend. He believed that the watches wculd credit Allx with 2:03. McDowell wore a white duck suit. After scoring once he gave the nod, and watches were set a-going. A running mate In harness was to set the pace, but the runner had difficulty In keeping up with tbe fleet mare, who went very steady till the first eighth was reached, when she broke. She was taken back and started again. She fought for her head and started at a good gait, 'passing the quarter in 31 seconds, and without a waver she reached the half mile in 1:02 and the three-quarters In 1:33. McDowell had figured out when he reached the seven-eighths that he had seventeen seconds to make the rest of the distance home and equal Nancy Hanks' record, but he was positive that he could make the distance In sixteen seconds. But, alas for human calculations! At the first eighth Allx had cast a shoe and this caused her to break. She almost came' to a stop, but her driver urged her on, and she finished in 2:07iIn a second trial, after a new shoe had been put on one of her feet, she started off in a very pretty gait, turning the first quarter in :30?i; the half mile was made in 1:02 and the three-quarters in' 1:33. She showed well coming into the stretch, but the experienced horseman saw that It was not a gait to break Nancy Hank's record. The time for the mile was 2:044. By making this time Allx lowers her own record three-quarters of a second and comes within three-quarters of a second of the world's record for trotters.

Fastest Hents Ever Trotted by TlireeYear Olds, The first race of the day was the second heat of the continued 2:13 trot, and it was called a few minutes after noon, before the crowd began to pour In. Brown Dick, having won the first heat on Wednesday afternoon, stood well, but the talent held to Miss Nelson. The cognoscenti were not fooled, for the bay mare of Norfolk won the heat with comparative ease In 2:13, though Dollle Wilkes looked dangerous for a time. The third heat went to Doug Thomas's gray mare, and from that time on she was the pick of the crowd. In the fourth heat she started at 3 to 2, but the heat went to Miss Nelson, who won from Baron Moore in the last five yards. In the fifth the gray mare made a pretty race to win, but broke in the back stretch, allowing Brown Dick to take the lead, which he kept till he passed the camera. Commodore Porter made an admirable effort to take sacond place from Baron Moore, but the Wilkes horse was not to be passed by the get of Nutwood. Dollle Wilkes won the sixth heat after a close contest with Brown Dick, who broke at the distance mark and couldn't make good his loss. The seventh and deciding heat was started In a slow trot and finished in a -three-minute jog, and as the mare and gelding came abreast of the stand there was considerable hissing.

Hustler Russell was made favorite for the first heat at even money, Syrena and Robert B. next choice at 5 to 2, with Tommy Brown at 8 to 2. Mast's laurel was offered at 13 to 2. Tommy Brown and Syrena got the best of the start, but at the quarter they were all together. Here Monte Christo was forced and took the lead, but couldn't keep the pace and gave way to Laurel and Hustler Russell, who made the race to the finish, the mare coming ahead of the stallion and winning by a length In 2:10-74. Robert B. and Julia R. had a pretty duet for fourth place, Syrena being an easy third. The second heat was a comparatively easy thing for Laurel, Julia R. coming in second, closely followed by Tommy Brown. The time was 2:14. In the third heat Laurel kept the lead from the strt till going down the back siretch. where Syrena got in front and kept there, winning the heat In 2:11U. The fourth heat roused the crowd to the wildest enthusiasm, for the home entry won It. Tommy Brown was on the books at 10 to 2. while Laurel was quoted at 3 to 2. It was a tood race won in the last sixteenth. The eleven left the stand well together. At the quarter Julia R. w.s leading, but was soon caught nnd passed by Laurel. Tommy Brown following in a steady g.dt, looking an If he had plenty of reserve muscle and wind. Syiena was with them. Laurel led all the way from the half, and at- the seven-eights looked a winner. But It was hre that the Indianapolis gelding' was let out, and he passed the flag post and the mare together and came in in a splendid gait amid the cheer3 of the crowd, Syrena following and beating Laurel undor severe whip purdshment. The time was 2:1614. Three to two was Tommy Brown's figure for the 'fifth heat, with Laurel and Syrena at 6 to 2. Syrena had the best of the start anl at the eighth took pole position from the favorite, but the Indianapolis horse was leading at the .threeeighths post and the race down the stretch was all an enthusiast would wish. When three-fourths of the course was covered they were all together again and the xac

home was close. Tommy Brown coming away in the last eighth and winning from Hylie T.t who came in ahead of Syrena, The time was 2:112. Tommy Brown, having won two heats, was thought cheap at 2 to 3, the other two beinff offered at 6 to 2. for the sixth heat. Laurel and Syrena. led the favorite from the Dtart Laurel left his feet at the three-eighths post and didn't get down again till approaching- the half. At the three-quarter post Tommy Brown was up with Syrena, and coming into the home stretch passed her and won easily In 2:17,.4 It was the first triumph of the meeting for an Indianapolis owned horse, and the two Browns got a great greeting from the borne folks as they canae back to the stand.

WINS THE THREE-YEAR-OLD PACE. The three-year-old pace was a recordmaker. It was won by Ethel A., a grey filly, by Adrian ukes, in straight heats, the three fastest heats ever paced in any one. race by a three-year-old, giving proof Indubitable that to-day Indianapolis has the best and fastest trotting track in these United States. This race evoked almost as much enthusiasm as the great $3,000 match, and the cranks made a special note for future reference of the performance of a mare who may hold, three years hence or sooner, a record of the figure now. carried by Allx or Nancy Hanks among trotters. Eight of the fourteen entries contested for the thousand dollars offered the winner. They were Antidote, br. s., property of Agner & Betzncr, Peru, Ind.; Brennan, gr. h., owned by A. Hardy & Son, Logansport, Ind.; Brookfleld, br. c, owned by W. B. Legg, Raleigh, Ind.; Ethel A., gr. f.. owned by John Conley, Iowa Falls, la; Harry B., gr. h., owned by A. P. Bruce, Danvlle, Ky.; Quiz, br. m., property of Smith Bros., Decatur' 111.; Sallie Bronson, blk. f., owned by J. E. Bush, Louisville, Ky.; Sidmont, owned by IL C. Sanders, Glenville, O. Ethel A.s past performances (all of which she eclipsed yesterday, both for a single heat and three consecutive heats) made her a favorite in the books. She was quoted at 1 to 2 for the first heat, and was barred by the bookmakers thereafter. After the word was given in the opening heat the favorite was seen fourth in' the race. Quiz, with "the silent man" on the sulky, leading the field. The going was very fast throughout, and Quiz gave way going down the back stretch, where the grey filly drew off, and she had her own way for the rest of the race, passing under the wire 'after pacing a mile in the fastest time, with one exception, ever paced by a three-year-old 2:10U. The first half was made In 1:05. Online holds the three-year-old record with 2:10 mark. The second heat was an even more remarkable one. Ethel A. broke at the start and fell to sixth place. Gcers forced Quiz ahead on the outside and led past the quarter. Ethel A. was down to her work entering the back stretch, and quickly overhauled the stragglers and reached for the leaders. She was on the outside, and, passing one after another of her rivals, came In an easy winner ahead of Sidmont, a whipped-In second. The time was 2:12,,2. but the last quarter seemed to be paced at a gait under 2:10. The third heat was the gray filly's from start to finish, the time being 2:1334, concluding a record that rtands unequaled for three heats paced by a three-year-old. Summary: Three-year-old pace; stake. $1,000.

RECORD BREAKING TIACK. History of Its Count met Ion How Its Fast Qualities AVere Secured. The movement -which resulted in the building of the track, which now stands unexcelled, was started when the old State fair grounds at Alabama and Ninth streets were sold In 1891. In looking for a new site, the State Board of Agriculture desired one that would be advantageous in location as well as would make a good race track. A number were considered, and the selection narrowed down to between the Miller farm, on which the cerealine works now stands, and the Voss farm, which was afterwards bought A committee from the State Board of Agriculture and a number of prominent Indiana horsemen, among whom were Pat Dickerson. Bruce Carr, now deceased, and John Lackey, Inspected a number of the most noted tracks in the country in the spring of 1892 to see the material of which they were made. At that time the halfmile track at Sheridan, this State, was attracting wide-spread attention on account of Its speed and general advantages. The committee and the horsemen examined it and found that It was built of a gumbo clay, obtained from a marsh nofi far from the city. The soil showed great resiliency, good qualities for ho'ding moisture without becoming mushy, and was black in color. After a test it was decided to build the Indianapolis track of that soil. Clyde l'owers, of Washington, was engaged to do the engineering part. Sidetracks were built at the grounds and the work of construction begun. The soil was brought from the marsh by 'carloads, of which 1,000 were used. It tool, sixty days for Its completion. It is a regulation track, one mile and an Inch long, three feet from the pole. It is a quarter of a mile long In .the stn-tch and the same In the turn. On the home stretch It is eighty feet wide, and on the back stretch sixty feet wide. The same plan of grade was adopted for the turns that is required by a "railroad train to overcome the centrifugal forces in making the same curves moving at the rate of a mile In two minutes and twelve seconds. The sabsoll consists or coarse gravel, and on this twelve Inches of gumbo clay was placed. Owing to its property of packing rollers were not much used. The ground occupied by the track cost $6,420. and the cost of the soil and the expense cf making the track raised the amount to about $10,000. ' Within a month after Its completion races were held on it, and though it was new and untried, and Its qualities unknown, many prophesied that it would prove to be one of the fastest tracks In the country. List year Nancy Hanks went a mile In 2:04. and Effle Powers broke the world's record up to that time for three-year-old pacers. The track has been managed this year by W. Y. Graves, who i nas given it more attention than any other track ever before received. Though no new soil was placed, yet It was much worked and a great quantity of water put on it. THE TWO PACERS. Something Altont Robert J. and Joe Pntclirn. Mr. T. J. Hamlin, of BufTalo, N. Y., owner of the world-beater, Robert J., seemed to be highly pleased at the performance of the animal, although it was rumored down town last night that he was vexed at hte driver for cutting the record so low. Mr. Hamlin, however. Is a man of too much integrity to be suspected of holdlnsr back a I horse from a low record when he had promised to give the Indianapolis Driving Club the best Hire that could be obtained i by the gelding. "I didn't think." said Mr. Hamlin after the race, "that Robert J. had quite so much speed. I caught his time for the fast heat in 2:02. What do I think this race will su!d to his value? Well, tlm WOt!li he hT.1 tO tell. A hl la a cral linn- , --. . fs. ji.tajk,. t Wr.cn a gelding gets so low a mark he ; ceases to be profitable s a. big winner i because it difficult to enter him. I bought Robert J. as a thiee-year-old for $4,500. He is Inbred from Hambletonlan. his sire being Hartford and his dam Geraldlne. I think his Hambletonlan

blood is what helps his staying qualities. As a three-year-old his record was about 2:23. as a four-year-old 2:03 and es a five-year-old about 2:05a4. Geers nas driven hi i ever since I bought him. T.iere is oni one Niagara Falls in the world and there is only one Ed Gers and I don't know wtiich America could better snare. 1 regard trotting and pacing races as thoroughly American, and tre manner In which the sport is growing in pjpularlty is truly wonderful." "I don't doubt that the Indianapolis track is the greatest one in the country. It has a springiness to it which horsemen admire. I notice that the track does not burn a horse's feet like a great many tracks do. I think if you had examined Robert J. 'a shoes after each heat you would not have found them very warm. . Do I think the two-minute mark will be reached this year or next? No I do not think it wilL I do rot believe Robert J. will reach it I doubt very rnueh If he arill lower the record gained here to-day. "I have great faith in trotting stock, and have great hopes of my four-year-oid Fantasy, who has the record for her age, Geers Is drivirr her. I have the utmost faith in the Inw olty and honesty of that boy." Mr. Hamlin has one hundred and thirty brood mares at his farm In New York, and believes it Is best to raise tine stock. His Belle Hamlin and Justina have the fastest record for a double team. Mr. Hamlin himself drove them to 2:14 some yeirs ago at Cleveland, but Geers afterward lowered this a second. Geers at one time drove three horses abreast at Cleveland, O., to a 2:14 mark.

JOE PATCH EX'S CAREER. The Famonit StnlllonM Remarkable "Work: All Done This Season. Joe Patchen was foaled May 5, 1883. He was sired by Patchen Wilkes, dam Josie Young, by Joe Young, by Star of the West. He was bred by Charles Rathbone, of Peabody, Kan., and. was bought from him as a two-year-old by J. G. Taylor, of St Louis. He was a trotter till he became a three-year-old, when his gait was changed. He made no mark as a trotter. Mr. Rathbone had sole charge of him till the spring of 1893, when he was put in the hands of John Seeley, of Burlington, Kan., Mr. Taylor'p trainer at his stock farm, and he was not trained or driven by anyone else from that time till about six weeks ago, when Jack Curry began to drive him. The now famous son of Patchen Wilkes has gained all of the reputation, which was crowned on the Indianapolis track yesterday, within the past year. Last September he began his campaigning as a pacer at Parsons, Kan., making a record of 2dSU on a poor half-mile track. After the race he was taken sick with catarrhal fever and was in no condition to start again during the season, but notwithstanding his illness he was started in the 2:20 pace at Terre Haute last September, and in five heats made an average time of 2:10 flat. He spent the winter in stud service. He made his first start this year at Davenport, la., in the second week of July and won his race, reducing his mark to 2:12. Next followed Detroit, the week after, where he got a mark of 2:lHa, and that on a slow track, says his driver. Victories followed at Cleveland, Buffalo and Terre Haute, the stallion winning each of his races in straight heats, getting a record of 2:06. He has only been beaten this year by Robert J. Next week he will go against John R. Gentry, Rubensteln, Mascot, Flying Jib and other cracks in the free-for-all pace at Terre Haute, from which Robert J. is barred. MAY LOCATE HERE. Joe Pa to lien's Owner Thinking: of Becoming: nn Indlnnunolltun. Mr. J. G. Taylor, of St. Louis, was becomingly modest last evening at the Grand Hotel, and bore up well against the constant stream of handshakers who tickled his tympanum with congratulatory speech from supper time till bedtime. He was certainly much gratified, to the limits of exultation, at the performance of his black wonder. He did not speak of defeat, and evidently didn't thbik of It. "Lost by an eyelash In 2.02," was what he wrote on a. telegram blank as a Journal man stood by waiting to catch a moment's talk with him. "Yes, he will beat Robert J. sure this season if they meet again. No, they won't meet In any of the regular races this year. Of course I'm pleased, and I'm especially pleased that Indianapolis got such a good race. Your "driving club boys are such good fellows that I determined to give them a good race. I told them so. Tney deserve support I think your track here is now the best In the country, and I could be induced, I think, to locate here. I've been thinking of it to-day. What is Joe Patchen worth? Well, I'm not selling him. but I think him worth more than Kremlin, Arion, Mascot or any of the other great ones to-day. Why, it stands to reason. He looks as well; he's as well bred; he's quite as " And l.ere anotter group of congratulatory o'escended on jii'r. Tayior and interrupted his talk. Later, he spoke of Joe Patchen a.i a sire. "I don't believe he can be equaled by any of them In the stud. His got will travel, I tell you. I have got a couple of yearlings of his, a year old last May, who can go a mile together at the pole in 2:30." Asked as to where the stallion got his speed, Mr. Taylor opined it was from his dam rather than his sire. His dam, Josie Young, was by Joe Young, one of the most notable campaigners in the West, a horse that trotted a mile when nineteen years old In 2:19. To-Dnj's Probable Starters.

Thayer, Lexington, Kyf Directly to Go To-Dny. , That Indianapolis has the fastest race course In the country Is now pretty generally conceded, especially after the records made yesterday. This is additional reason for the belief that Directly, the wonderful pacing colt, will beat the world's record made by himself (2:10) at Chicago week before last when he makes the effort this afternoon. He will be sent about 4 o'clock, with a running mate, and if there should be no rain this morning there is reason to believe that the black son of Direct will go the mile in 29 or better. It would not be surprising if he went in better time than 2:08. The other events for to-day will Include the 2:21 trot and the 2:12 trot, each for a purse of $1,000, postponed from yesterday, the free-for-all trot, with Magnolia, Pixley, Walter E., Nightingale and Trevilllan as starters and the 2:22 trot, all these classes being well filled. The races will be continued to-morrow, with three races, in addition to which Flying Jib, one of the fastest horses in the world, will be sent against his record. Drivers Get Together. In the third heat of the three-year-old race' there was a fight between two of the drivers au courant though few of the spectators doubtless noted the fact. Ben Walker and Bush were the principals, the latter saying that Walker cut him across the face with his whip. He lodged a complaint with the judges, who, after consideration, decided the race unaffected by the fracas, and summoned witnesses to appear to-day and tell wnat they know of the affair. After lodging his complaint Bush is reported as hunting around for a knife with' which to slaughter driver Ben. It appears that Sallie Bronson, driven by Bush, was hampering Brookfield, Walker on the sulky, on entering the back stretch. There seemed a likelihood of wheels locking, and Walker warned Bush to keep clear. Bush didn't but retorted an ugly word, when Walker swung round his right hand. There was a whip in it, and this came in stinging contact with the countenance of Bush. That's all. Judgment will be rendered to-day. Last NiRht'i Fools. The pool selling last night at the Grand Hotel was the liveliest ever seen in this city. Everybody around the stand seemed to have hl3 money and willing to risk it The selling was confined to the 2:21 and 2:12 trots. In the first Bourbon Wilkes sold at $10. Heir-at-iaw $7, I. S. French $4, Connor $2 and the field $3. David B. was made a hot favorite in the 2:12 trot, selling at $15. Lee's Pilot sold at $7, Dandy Jim and Ballard at $5 each, and the field at $2. The JadgeR Yesterday. The Judges yesterday were George W. MorrisoiT, of Connersville; H. M. Gilchrist of Noblesville, and Robert of St Louis. ULRDE.VS ON TUB PEOPLE. The Tnx raid to the Sugrar Schedule Will lie 70,H0,0H. Boston Journal. One peculiarity of the new tariff, which justifies its claim to be known in our history as the Thimblerig tariff. Is that while it professes to relieve the burdens of the people, and has been loudly advertised as accomplishing that result. It actually increases them. This is a fact which aill be borne In mind in the approaching campaign, when the Democratic party presents itself to the people and asks for a verdict upon its acts. What It promised to do. in the Chicago platform and elsewhere, must be placed beside what it actually has done in the new tarilT, and the comparison will establish the full measure of its betrayal of principle. In lieu of making comparisons of our own. to make clear this point, we prefer to f.vall ourselves of data contained in the editorial comments of that reliable Democratic organ, the Boston Herald. Of course we shall have to take our quotations from different articles, because" the Herald never has undertaken, of set purpose, to establish the fact to which refer. The Herald of Tuesday; Aug. 14, while deprecating the unconditional surrender made by the House to the Senate the day before, contended that, with all its faults, the Senate bill afforded "Aide relief," and to demonstrate this it printed the follow ing tabh exhibiting the reductions of duty in all the different schedules, excepting the sugar schedule: Decrease Under Schedules.

Unenumerated 772.58.47 Decrease, aside from sugar $02,407,973.90 On Monday, Aug. 20, the Herald, In an editorial article entitled "The Sugar Burden." denounced that schedule as a "monstrous impost" and gave the following analysis of it: Indirect tax: Protection to Louisiana producers on 3)0,000.000 lLs. at 1.2 cents per pound $G,000,ono Protection to Hawaiian planters on 200.00O.000 lbs. at 1.2 cents per pound 3,f(Y),) Protection to Sugar Tmst on 4,0"0.(.1J0.00 lbs. sugar at 42K cents per pounds 17.000,000 Total Indirect tax '. $.600,0ua Direct tax: Duty on sugar according to estimate of Senate finance committee $43,478.fC7 Tctal of sugar burden $7O.0TS.D57 Now. combining Ihese two analyses, we have the admission by the Herald that the new tariff, so far from affording "wide rtlief," as it at first rashly claimed, by lightening the burdens of the people, actually increasCSjcm by from sewn to eight million doi::t.vApor annum. This calculation, moreover. K cs 110 account of th ndin income tax. The estimates as to the yield or mat tax vary wiuoiy. .Assuming that the collodions wdl average $25.0'jo.0o0. which Is probably not far out of the wsv. we iind ; tht the total net Increase to the burdens of the people accomplished by the thimblerig tariff is from $:i2.0oo.000 to $J3.ooo.w. And this enprmous burden is rolled upon the shoulders of the people, partly as tribute to the greedy Sugar Trust and partly as a penalty on thrift, imposed in accordance with, the theories of the PopulUl.

GLASS WOUKKItK' WAGES. A Pittslurs: Manufacturer Corrects th Popular idea that Mnv Are Ytry Hiyi Interview with James J Pittsburg Dispatch. "Will you not give a correct tatnf:.t v the earnings of window-glass worktr?? Mr. Chambers was asked. "I will 60 so," he replied, "for the bener.t of those Interested. "To give you a ciear statement it 1 necessary to mention that there are four branches of the trade that come unier th head of skilled mechanics in making window glass. These are the blowers, gather, ers, flatteners and cutters. The membership of the organisation known as L. A. COO Is made up of the workers In these four trades. The average earnings made by them in this country, after deducting helpers' wages paid by them, are about as fol-' lows, and wtll not vary I per cent, from these figures: Single-strength Mowers make $4.50 per day; single-strength gatherers, $2.93; small double-strength blower?, tl.irt; small double-strength gatherers, $3.S; larg double-strength blowers. ijrge aoubi strength gatherers. $.W; slngle-strentit fiattenera, ;..'); mall double-strength tlatteners, $0."': .art;e double-e trcngth tlattcuers, $13; .-;.-..? strength cutters. $0, and double-sirc.i cutters. $T.70. "About 75 i.r cent, of all the blowers, gatherers, u Alienors and cutters work on single strength. 20 per cent, en r.-nall double and 5 per cent, on large double, so that three-fourths of all make H.r- $2.13. $1X0 and $3, nanie'y. the single-strength blower, gatherer, flattener and cutter. About 20 per cent, including small double-strength blowers, gatherers, flatteners and cutters, make, respectively. $.50, $3.8, $o.&0 anl $T.7u, leaving about 5 per cent of the entire number to make large double at $12, $G.&), $13 and $5.70 for the lrge blower, gatherer, ilattener and cutter. Thus when the earnings of the total number of workmen in the four trades are calculated according to iha earnings of each, we find that the average earning of the workmen in the four trades Is about $4.77 per day. "The average number of days they have worked each year during the past rive years or more is 215 days, which makes their earnings $1.C25.55 per annum. This would seem to be a suificlent amount of wages for these men to earn without needless exaggeration. "There Is no doubt " the average wages paid are high and somr branches could with fairness be reduced, but it should le borne In mind that their work, requires a very high grade of skill and gr-?at phys'.rl endurance, and that they are therefore entitled to the highest wages paid to any class of mechanics. "The four trades are not paid proportionately as they merit, physical endurance and skill considered. For Instance, the single-strength blowers and patherers ar paid less in proportion to the skill and labor required than any of the others. Te flatteners and cutters particularly are better paid than the others, skill and labor considered. In justness and falrnefs there should be a readjustment of the wages of the four trades. The organization has prevented its accomplishment thus far owing to one of their rules that any reduction or advance must be the same to all f.i'jr trades. It is only a question of time, however, and, in my judgment, a short tinvwhen an equitable basis will be enforced, as it is becoming more apparent everjday to every fair-minded workman that the wages are so much out of balance that dissatisfaction is growing and those most adversely affected are Incoming more and more Impatient The entering wedge has already been started, and the ruie thr has heretofore always been observed was, for the first time violated in the ff-tt-ment of the wages latelv made, whk-h provides for a reduction of 20 per cent. t three branches of the trade and but 30 per cent to the other. "Before closing, in justice to the extreme large double-strength blowers and gatherers, I wish to state that, while the wages they earn might seem enotmou to those wo have no knowledge of what Is required of them, yet when one considers the almost superhuman strength and skill reculred to perform their work on ' bound to admit that they are not much overpaid. With my knowledge and experience of the business If I were compelled to work at the trade and had the strength, skill and ability that comes to only atout one in a thousand to blow this extremely large glass 1 would prefer to make small double at $fi.So per day rather than wear myself -out, ruin my heslth nnd break myself down phvslcally. which is sure to be the case with every workman, no matter how strong. If he persists in continuing to make very larg double strength." The School Book 3Ionopoly. Wabash Plain Dealer. Complaint is made that an unnecessary change has been made in the school books.
