Indiana needs men in Congress who will look after the interests of the bread profiucers, rather than those of a foreign whisky trust. The Journal regrets to learn that Attorneygeneral Smith has not filed the report required by the Governor as to the source and amounts of his fees. Chairman Wilson has gone abroad for hl3 health: moreover, he will go to countries where he and his party leaders are more popular than In this country. The Democratic Vote counters who held on election in Arkansas on Monday counted enough of the opposition votes to let the regular ticket in by about 25,000 majority. "Word comes again from the New York custom house that the rush of Incoming good 3 continues, but one cannot find an 'American factory which is employing more bands. It was raodest in Governor Watte, of Colorado, to say that he did not consider his renom'natlon an indorsement of all he hod .done. That is a roundabout way of saying that he does not consider the Populists of Colorado as big fools as their action In .renominating him would indicate. Since the Wilson bill was slaughtered la the Senate the Sentinel has been so confused that it is not to be held responsible for what It says a fact which explains Its frantic attempts to make Its readers believe that adding 40 per cent, to the price of raw sugar will not increase its cost to the consumer. Those employes in the glass works who consented to a cut cf 22 per cent, in wagcj will be quite likely not to stamp the rooster at the next election In Indiana. Besides being a" loss to the employes and their families, the cut means a 22 per cent, reduction In the volume of their trade, and possibly building and loan stocks will be sacrificed. A f w days since a citizen of Colorado visiting this city predicted that the Populists would re-nominate Governor Walte because he is the leader of the violent and anarchistic element which controls the party, which is so rabid that it distrusted Rev. Myron 'Reed. The result proves that he knew whereof he spoke. The controlling element was so violent and despotic that It strangled free speech. Until 1SSS Mr. Busiel, the Republican candidate for Governor in New Hampshire, had been a leading Democrat. While he had never held office, he had been a' member of the State committee many years. He is one of the leading manufacturers of hosiery and knit goods in New England. He left the Democratic party simply because it had become the party of free trade, and he remains, as he has always been, a protectionist. He Joined the party of protection, as all men should who do not believe in free trade. The compensating feature of great calamities like the Minnesota forest fires is the revelation they bring of the better elde of human nature. A Duluth dispatch ays that some of the wealthiest, citizens of that place have thrown open their houses to the fugitives. Many persons who never enjoyed anything but the rudest comforts before are now reclining on soft divans and upholstered sofi-s. It does not cost the wealthy much to be generous, but the good feeling: that prompts that kind of generosity i3 none the less commendable. It is to the credit of human nature that it always shows to beat advantage In great emergencies. Ex-Senator. Warner Miller, of New York, delivered an address at a Republican convention. In Herkimer county, which elected him a delegate to the State convention. In the course of which he said: The Republican party does not build upon disasters; it does not build upon misrepresentations: it appeals to the great Intelligence of the people. and it will ask of them whether they ep not better satisfied with the results which were attained in this country during th rule of the Republican . party than they have been during the rule of the Democratic party. This states the case well. No Republican could ask anything better for his party than that every voter In the United States would compare the results of Republican and Democratic policies and administrations, give an honest, conscientious Verdict, and vote accordingly. An "Castern paper, commenting on Senator Jones's accession to the Topulist party, says: "Jones Is after the presidency. lie e:cpects it may fall to the next House to pick out a President, and with the third party holding the key he alms to be in between to be corr.promUed on as a sliver men to whom PopulUts and Republicans, the first for free silver and the other for fclsla t-rirr, can come.- This is a pretty t-ttr? c3 'rPtr. tat It does not hold z: Vrzzizr Z:-zi U familiar enough c ' n c --::::-.-:3. t" t-str ttzt a rr-

In this issue will be found some Interesting facts regarding the effect of the Democratic tariff upon the winter wheat flour market. Under the Harrison administration reciprocal treaties were negotiated, In spite of great obstacles, under the provision of the McKlnley law, which gave the flour market In Cuba, the West Indies and the South American countries which purchase foreign flour to the United States. In Cuba alone a market absorbing 800.000 or 1,000,000 barrels of flour was made by our millers In three years, and a largely Increased trade was built up in other countries, because by those treaties we were given advantages over other competitors by the Imposition of lower duties or a free entry where others paid duties. Under these treaties several millers In Indiana built up, directly or Indirectly, a valuable trade. But, In spite of all that could be done, both by the Wilson bill and the Senate law, the reciprocity treaties were abrogated without notifying the countries with which they were made. Mr. Bynum. as a member of the ways and means committee, signed the report recommending the passage of the bill which would lose the millers and wheat growers of his district and State a market for .several hundred thousand bushels of wheat and its product. At a time when, more than anything else, the farmers need a wider market for wheat, Bynum, Cooper, Holman and their associ- I ates voted for a bill which curtailed that market by eight or ten million bushels. They did not so much as make a move to save those markets, but voted for a bill which will enable every country which does not Impose a duty on wheat to bring Its surplus hither. That is the way the Bynums et al. open the markets of the world. Making the best flour in the world, the American product would fight Its way Into the bes; markets if the policy of the Harrison administration had been continued. There were several mills which had a large trade with Cuba and South America, The Llgonler Milling Company was one of these. It has been estimated by one familiar with the business that a market for 150,000 barrels has been lost by the millers in the vicinity of Indianapolis. That means a loss of a market for 673,000 bushels of wheat. But while the wheat and flour markets of Indiana are willfully thrown away by the Democratic Congress, it does not hesitate to add 43 per cent, to the cost of the sugar its people consumes. now mil riYsrsrs theory works. The first window glass factory in the natural gas belt to resume' operations under the per cent, reduction in wages made In the settlement at Pittsburg was one at Anderson employing two hundred hands. Other factories will resume soon on the same basl3. It is said the workmen are very much dissatisfied, as they have reason to be, and under ordinary clreumseances would strike against the cut, but they recognize-the -fact-that it is made necessary by the new tariff law, and they reluctantly accept the inevitable, as thousands of other workmen will have to do. On the 20th of January last Mr. Bynum delivered a speech in the House on the Wilson bill, in which he said: I received, a few days ago, a letter from a constituent In one of tne protected industries protesting against the passage of this bill. It was gentlemanly in tone, and I think contained an honest expression of the writer's opinions. He said, in substance: "I came to this country from England. I received only about one-half the wages there as I do here. About six years ago, in the factory in which I worked, twelve of our number were selected to meet the masters and request an increase of 10 per cent, in wages. They told us they could not give it, . because the American tariff was in their way, but if we could get that removed they would increase our wages 20 per cent. So I came to this country." In this letter is an argument that Is unanswerable. "The American tariff prohibited the products of my labor from coming to this country, so I came," says the operative. And so others will come. Would not the workingmen in this country be in a better condition with a moderate tariff and an increase of 10 or 20 per cent. In wages in England than they would be with a protective tariif and all tne foreign labor in that country here by their side? In this Mr. Bynum argued In favor of approximating American wage3 to the English standard as a means of preventing foreign immigration. True to thi3 theory he voted for a reduction in the duty on glass which has resulted In a cut of 22Vj per cent. In glass workers wages. Under this cut men who formerly earned $13 a week will now earn $11.62; those who formerly earned $20 a week will now earn $13.50, and so on. This means the cutting off of many little luxuries from the workman s family, and probably in many cases the limitation even of comforts. The men who have to pocket this loss will havo ample time to reflect upon the practical operation of Mr. Bynum's scheme for equalizing wages between the United States and England. THE ASTRAL, LIVEH. The Christian Scientists of Burlington, la., have petitioned the city school board that their children be excused from attendance at school during the hours that physiology is taught. They recite their belief that there js no such thing as a material body, and' they object to having their children taught about such mythical things as liver and stomach. This Is a new pha.e of the "science," and one whose central idea will have attractions for rrany who have no confidence in "faith cures." Heretofore they have been asked by Christian Scientists to believe that they had no pain In their stomachs when they felt that they positively knew colic as griping them; and have been informed that "bilious attacks," "ager," Indigestion and a ho3t of other His which early education led them to ascribe to the erratic conduct of the liver were mere figments of the imagination. They could not accept this theory because they thought they knew that a liver was "in the midst" of each one of them. and. being there, was the cause of innumerable pangs. But to be told that a pain is imaginary is one thing and that the liver does not really exist Is another. The latter notion has never been pn rented to them clearly until now. While a man believes that a liver actually exists in his Interior It-Is naturally very difficult to cvcll tha conviction that any "misery"

in that region Is caused by the evil behavior of the organ. That 13, if he believes in the organ he must believe in the misery. But if he can, once grasp the thought and make it his own that his liver Is not in fact a liver, but the "base.ss fabric of a vision." an airy nothing that in the nature of things cannot cause a veritable pain, it will then be easy to believe that he really has no pain. So dull and stolid is the mind of man that he will not find It easy to thus cast aside his anatomy or any portion of it. Has he not seen pictures of his liver in all the books of physiology? Has he not all his life roured into his system a variety of drugs whose purpose was to placate the liver? Has it not loomed up, so to speak, at unwelcome times and seasons, and by jvhat he took to be threats and warnings prevented him from indulging In luxuries which he wanted to indulge In? Has he not found it a perennial nuisance from which it would be joy to be divorced? Many and many a time has he sympathized with the man who longed to take out his liver and hang it on the ferre, but here is a better way to dispose of what has heretofore been a hated possession. Here Is emancipation. Accept the theory that matter is not matter, tut mind; that his liver and stomach and "lights" are not really such, but are astral "works," and he is free to eat, drink and be merry with no fear of consequences. It is a great scheme, and the Burlington scientists deserve an encouragement which, sad to Fay, a 'benighted school board refuses to grant them.

FRIGHTENED TARIFF REFORMERS. The original free-trade newspaper in this country, the New York Evening Post, makes haste to remark that neither the President nor his followers declare a purpose to carry "revenue reform" further than the so-called Gorman act now on the statute books. Unfortunately for the Post and those Democratic oratOTs who will take that ground in the North, the people in this country can read and understand. Except a score or more, Chairman Wilson speaks for tlie Democratic party. In the House. Aug. 14, to ex-Speaker Reed, Mr. Wilson Fail: Now, I say to the gentleman from Maine that, so far as I am concerned, and I believe so fj.r as the people with whom I am associated In this great work here are concerned, we do not Intend to give up the fight. The right of the American people- to be relieved of cla3s distinction A higher than the right of any protected industry to repose in Its industry. In. so far as I am individually concerned, and my humble views, I oan say to the gentleman that there will be no let-up in the fight as long as the yoke of monopoly Is on the neck of any citizen in this country. The Congressional Record, from which the above is taken, puts in brackets, after this declaration, "applause and cheers on the Democratic side." Bynum cheered, Cooper cheered, and all the Indiana Democratic members, even to the venerable Holman, cheered. In the Senate, Aug. 16, Senator Mills, truly a Democratic leader, said on this subject: We do not at all accept this as a final settlement of the question of tariff reform. We have carried the outposts that defended the citadel of the enemy, and we intend to push the contest until we carry the gates of the city and sweep the streets of the enemy and take everything from them. In the President's letter to Representative Catchlngs, which already Ties with the Wilson letter as the most remarkable performance of an American President, -Mr. Cleveland said: The millions of our countrymen who have fought bravely and well for tariff reform should be exhorted to continue the struggle, boldly challenging to open warfare and constantly guarding against treachery and half-heartedness in their camp. Columns of quotations similar to the above could be printed to show that the leaders of the controlling element of the Democratic party regard the Gorman act but an entering wedge. The mugwump organs cf the East, beholding the rising tide of hostility to free trade, betray contemptlble cowardice when they attempt to make the people believe that the "defiled law" of the Sentinel, the measure of "party perfidy and party dishonesty" of the President, is the end of Democratic tariff reform. ELEVATING THE MASSES. The Local Council, having disposed of the cigar stub, banana-peel and burntmatch Issue, has now, it appears, taken the masses under its wing with intent to elevate them. Although there was not a full attendance of members at the recent meetln, those of the society who were present were unanimous In their determination to go Into the elevating business, but there was a disappointing vagueness about the methods to be followed. No doubt seemed to exist in the minds of these amiable reformers that the "masses" meaning, so far as can be learned, people with little money were conscious of inferiority and were standing ready to grasp at any means of being lifted up 'tfhich gracious patrons of a higher sphere- might- stoop to offer. Some one did suggest that the entertainments, or whatever means of elevation were employed, should be private, and that no newspaper publicity should be given them, but how the masses were to be Informed of their opportunity without publicity was not disclosed. Engraved Invitations circulated among them and bearing the legend "strictly confidential" might effect the purpose, but after the elevation has taken place how is that secret to be kept? Is it possible that the Local Council believes that the masses can take a great stride in culture; and the newspapers not find out the fact and the cause? Such a conception of the intelligence of the press is shocking. But there is some reason to fear that the good ladies will meet with a degree of disappointment in carrying out their benevolent plans. People who have been Intimately associated with the "masses." meaning thereby the large class of their fellow-citizens who have no bank accounts, have gained a very strong im prcssion that they do not care to be elevated by any means which seem to savo of charity. In fact, a very large number of them are so benighted that they see no means of culture In the highly respectable and innocuous entertainments commonly arranged for their benefit, or, aeeing, have no disposition to profit thereby. Some are so blind to their opportunities that they prefer to se?ect their own amusements, and even go so far as to say that they are quite as good as those In which local councils and others find pleasure. It will be recalled In this connection that when some

of the excellent ladles who conpose the council undertook, last wlnftf. to give a fre exhibit of stereopticon views of the world's fair they were much aggrieved to find that a large proportion of the person they sought tp benefit had themselves visited the fair and really did not care to accept tickets to the reproduction. Further experiments In the same line Aill disclose the fact that the masses have a way of taking care of themselves that is quite satisfactory, all things considered. If pleasant resorts lik parks are provided for them. they will go there and pay their own way. If theatrical entertainments at "popular prices" are given they will flock there, as anyone may see for himself. If railway excursions are offered at low rates they go on trips by the thousand. In short, they have a preference for choosing their own amusements and means for "elevation," and for paying the bills, and equally they object to patronage. If the Local Council can find some means of exercising its bubbling benevolence which will be free from offensive condescension It may be able to do public service in the line proposed; but it must have a care. ' THE PRESIDENT AND THE SUGAR TRUST.

Partly by good fortune and partly by superior enterprise the Journal Is able to publish the following letter In advance of all Its contemporaries. The Journal does not vouch for the genuineness of the letter, but as It conveys the first Intimation of an Intention on the part of the President to enforce the anti-trust law the public will be justified In hoping that it may soon be acknowledged and fathered by the President. If not genuine, it ought to be: Hon. Richard Olney, Attorney-general: Sir Your attention Is called to the following provision of tne new tariff act: "Section 67. That every combination, conspiracy, trust, agreement, or contract Is hereby declared to be contrary to public policy, illegal, and void, When the same Is made by cik between two or more persons or corporations either Of whom is engaged in importing any illicit from any foreign country into the United States, and when such combination, conspiracy, trust, agreement, or contract is Intended to operate In restraint of lawful trade, or free competition in lawful trade or commerce, or to increase the market price In any part of the United States, of any article or articles Imported or Intended to be imported into the United States, or of any manufacture into which such imported article enters or Is intended to enter. Every person who is or shall hereafter be engaged in the Importation of goods or .ny commodity from any foreign country In violation of this section of this act. or who shaM combine or conspire with another to violate the same. Is guilty of a misaemeanor, and, on conviction thereof in any court of the United States, such person shall be fined in a sum not less than one hundred dollars and not exceeding five thousand dollars, and shall be further punished toy Imprisonment, in the discretion of the court, for a term not less than three months nor exceeding twelve months." This section makes it the duty of the Attorney-general to direct proceedings to be instituted against every combination or trust made by or between two or more persons or corporations engaged in importing any article of commerce for the purpose of restraining lawful trade or free competition in lawful trade therein. The law from which this section Is quoted has been In operation and effect since 12 o'clock midnight on the 28th of August. Whether I approved the law or not. It is my duty to see that it is enforced. The declaration of principles on which I was elected to office declared all trusts and combinations a "natural consequence of the prohibitive taxes which prevent the free competition which is the life of honest trade," and demanded the rigid enforcement of all laws then in existence or that might be enacted against them. Furthermore, I am personally on record against such combinations of capital. In my letter of Aug. 27 to the Hon. T. C. Catchlngs, a copy of which is transmitted herewith, you will find the following: "The trusts and combinations the communism of pelf whose machinations have prevented us from reaching the success we deserve, should not be forgotten or forgiven. We shall recover from our astonishment at their exhibition of power, and If then the question Is forced upon us, whether they shall submit to the free legislative will of the people's representatives, or shall dictate the laws which the people must obey, we will accept and settle that issue as one Involving the Integrity and safety of American institutions." One of the most powerful, odious, grasping, voracious and offensive combinations of capital now in existence is the American Sugar Refining Company, commonly known as the Sugar Trust. This powerful combination of capital embraces nearly every sugar refining establishment in the United States, and its avowed object Is to fix the price of sugar to consumers, thereby levying tribute on the people for Its own enrichment. It was able to dictate the sugar schedule in the bill which I felt constrained by party considerations to permit to become a law, and since the law took effect the price of sugar has been materially increased, with a prospect of further , advances as the interests of the trust may require. Its operations afford a striking illustration of "the communism of pelf." referred to in my letter aforesaid. As its existence and operations are In plain violation of the provisions of lawabove quoted, you are hereby directed to Instruct the district attorneys of the United States, In each and every district where the said trust has an office, to institute proceedings at once to enforce the penalties of the law against Its officers rnd to prevent the said company from any further operations in restraint of trade or free competition therein. I cannot be mistaken In the opinion that this nefarious combination of plutocratic greed is devouring with insatiate appetite the substance of the people, and I feel In duty bound to consecrate myself to its overthrow. You will please consider the Instructions as imperative and act accordingly. Very respectfully, GROVER CLEVELAND, President. The writer of the letter did not state the case against the Sugar Trust as he might have done. It was organized in 1SS7, during Mr. Cleveland's first administration, with a capital of $50,000,000. At first it embraced twelve refineries, and subsequently six more ,were absorbed. In order to consummate these purchases the stock was increased to $75,000,000 and $10,000,000 of bonds were issued. The combination is now strong enough to control the price of every pound of sugar sold in the United States, and actually does so. Recent events have shown that it is strong enough to control the legislation of Congress. Under the present tariff the cost of the sugar consumed by the American people will be Increased about $70,000,000 a year. Never before in the history of the world was so merciless a monopoly fastened upon any people by the action of their government. If the foregoing letter should prove to be genuine, the people will welcome it as tha dawn of a better day and the beginning of what it Is to be hoped may prove an exterminating war against trusts. The suar planters of Louisiana are in open rebellion against the tariff policy of the Democratic party. The movement -was inaugurated by a mas3 meeting held a few days ago at Donaldsonville, in the Third congressional district, which was attended by more than 500 planters and business men, all Democrats, anl which adopted the following resolutions: Whereas, Recent adverse tariff legislation and threats of free sugar clearly Indicate that th dominant taction of the natlonal Democratic party Is bent upon a pjlt lev that will le id to the destruction of our Industries and the Impoverishment of .our people; therefore, be it Resolved. That we cannot In justice to curselves vote for any candidate to represent us rn Congress who Is not pledged to the protection of sugar, rice, lumber. Fait and all-other great American industries. Resolved, That our candidate mut be free to vote for a Speaker of the House

and to effect an organization favorable to protection, no matter to what political party said Speaker may belong. Similar meetings are to be held in other congressional districts, and an effort will be made to elect Congressmen who will vote for protection regardless of party affiliation. The movement has adopted for its motto "Louisiana first, the Democratic party afterwards." If every State were to adopt that motto, with a change of name to suit each State, there would soon be nothing left of the Democratic party. The friend3 of Representative Tom Johnson, of Ohio, are confidently predicting his re-election, though he will have to work for it. He Is known as a hustler In polities. In his last race his Republican competitor said, "I cculd beat Johnson easy enough, but I couldn't beat that smile." That smile is peculiarly childlike and bland.. While Colonel Johnson lived here It served him so well that he always had a working majority in the Council in defense, of the worst street-car service the city ever had. Johnson knew the service was abom

inable, and so did the public, but "that smile" was permitted to cover a multitude of sins. RUnUL.ES IN THE AIR. .Hardly it Plutocrat.

GREAT MARKETS LOST

EFFECT OF DEMOCRATIC POLICY ON THE WHEAT-GROWING STATES. Important Flour Trade ttIUi Spanish Dependencies Wiped Out Action of the Miller! League. The millers long ago saw the disastrous effect which the Democratic tariff bill would have upon the trade which has been growing up In Cuba, Brazil and other South and Central American states under the Harrison reciprocity treaties. All that they foresaw has come true. "We have practically lost our trade with Cuba," said Arthur Gillet, of the Acme Milling Company, yesterday.' "and by vva I mean the trade generally, and particularly millers In the States using winter wheats." "Did j-our company have a large trade there?" asked a Journal reporter. "Millers never proclaim their sales or to whom they sell; but we had a growing indirect trade with Cuba some thousands of barrels I cannot say how many, but, more or less, It is gone. We had an order for Cuba pending the passage of the present tariff law, but the day it was passed it was telegraphed off. That probably ends our trade with Cuba In flour under existing conditions." "Will you explain the advantage of the American flour producer In the Cuba market under the Harrison reciprocal treaties?" "When that treaty was negotiated under the reciprocal clause of the McKlnley law, a duty of $5 a barrel on flour kept millers In this country out, because the duty on Spaniel flour was only $1 a barrel. Under the Harrison arrangement the United States was accorded the same duty as Spanish flour paid. As American flour is a much better article, and can be laid down in Cuba as reasonably as any other country, the effect of the trea:y was to give the United States the flour trade of Cuba. From a few thousand barrels before reciprocity the sales' ran up to hundreds of thousands of barrels. I have no figures to Indicate the number of barrels of Indiana flour going to Cuba, but from what I have heard the aggregate was 'large enough to make a good item of business. Our company i3 glad to have other companies find a fresh market, since it leaves more of the 0C0 or a million barrels of flour is closed. those who had occupied It come into the same field we are in as competitors. This Congress abrogated all the reciprocity treaties, Spain has declared the duties restored In respect to the United States, and hereafter what flour goes into the Cuban market from here will pay a duty of $4.8S instead of $1, which Spanish flour pays. "It is the same," said Mr. Gillet. "in regard to South America: we have lost a growing market. In 1S91. the vear of the treaty, the United States sold only 300.883 barrels of flour in Rio de Janeiro, but in 1S93 v.e sold 412.223 barrels. The Argentine Republic, a neighbor, has been our competitor in recent years, but our flour went in free of duty under the Harrison treaty, while the Argentine Republic paid a dutv. Now we will pay the same dutr. and the Argentine being mucn nearer, will get the market. For the three months ending Aorll 1, 1894. we sold at Rio 113.225 barrels of flour, and all our competitors sold only 21.228 barrels. Now the trade will be reversed. "Jute bags heretofore have afforded us the cheapest packing for much of our flour, but, to help the South, this Congress put Jute bags upon the free list and imposed a duty upon raw Jute, which wld cause us to use cotton bags costing more." "Where do you purchase your wheat?" Standing before a map of Indiana, Illinois nnd othe- winter wheat States. Mr. Gillet drew his pencil about the wheatgrowing counties In Indiana and Illinois west and southwest of Indianapolis. "Exclusivelv there." was his reply. 'Then th?s Congress has not ooened the markets of the world to American flour?" "It seems to have closed them as far as it had power, and I speak as a business man." replied Mr. Gillet.-' INJURY TO WHEAT GROWERS. E. E. Perry, secretary ol the Winter Wheat Millers' League and publisher of the Northwestern MiHej said that "the league felt that the present Congress had done the flouring business, and consequently the wheat growers, great injury. The league is not in politics, but it is very much In the business of this thing. The Cuban trade was worth about a million barrel of flour to the winter wheat millers that means 4,500, X)0 bushels of wheat to the wheat growers of Indiana, Illinois and Onio. The South American trade was not worth so much, but in time It would have been. A marltet for eight or nine million bushels of wheat may not appear immense, but ai a receptacle for a part of a surplus It is a great deal since it Is the surplus which affects the price. "When the league saw that the present Congress would abrogate the reciprocal treaties made by the Harrison administration It sent a delegation to represent its interests in Washington and to ask some sort of consideration. Having $2(S,473.5O0 Invested in the business and putting $513,971.474 of gooda upon the market In 1S90 the third largest of any Industry and employing at high wages more than 100,000 men, the millers assumed that their committee should have a hearing. Chairman Wilson and two or three others of the committee, including Mr. Bynum, gave us a hearing. We asked that a retaliatory, clause should be put in the tariff bill which would discriminate in the duties imposed upon the leading products of nations which discriminated against American flour. Mr. Wilson said at once that it would not do, and Mr. Bynum joined with him. To retaliate, they said, in matters of duty would Incite other nations to retain high duties upon American goods. We showed them that the French duty on American flour was twice as much as It was on wheat, but France Imported our heat and paid a bounty on flour exported, which enabled the French miller to undersell us in Great Britain. But they knew it all. and would not listen to argument. Since that time, when Wheat was put upon the free list, and the present tariff law was sure to pass, France has nearly doubled the duty on American wheffct. Once, when France had a short crop and wanted cheap bread, the duty on flour and wheat was made the same, and one miller opened a trade of $50,000. which he lost when the flour duty was doubled. "The Winter Wheat Millers' League will take a hand in congressional elections this fall. The league held a meeting yesterday, and it voted to request every congressional candidate that he commit himself to the support of our retaliatory proposition. Those who do not will be opposed by all the influence the league can exert. "Let me add," said Secretary Perry, "that the league has for Its single aim the extension of the American flour market In no manner does it interest itself about the flour output or the price. It cees the need of wider markets and is in earnest to secure them." Attitude of Colored Voter. O. I. Van Horn, member of the executive committee of the Marion County Lincoln Leagues, has little patience with the colored voters who have allied themselves to the Democratic party. "I know all about the Democratic party," said Mr. Van Horn yesterday. "The history of its dealing with the negro is a story of injustice and brutality. But for the party of Lincoln the colored man would not l e a citizen of this grand Republic to-day; we should not have a vote in Indiana, and our children would be denlM the education of the public schools. Why do not all colored men .see this and stand by the party which has given them all the rights they have? "For one," went on this one-legged Republican. "I have no patience with colored men who vote the Democratic ticket, bocause they turn their backs upon their natural party and sell their votes for a paltry dollar or a drink of whisky. No men so feel the pinch of the Democratic times as the colored laboring man, because his Is a kind of labor for which the demand falls off when the pinch lrt comes. Two years ago there was a Job waiting to seize every colored man who wanted to work; now he may chase after work day after day and not get it, and when he does the pay is cut down. "I sliould think that after the Democrats hfid promised all the work people wanted and failed to furnish It all men of sense would vote the Republican ticket. No; I don't think many colored men will vote the Democratic ticket only a few ever did. and ther' will be less this year. White and colored men both should see that it is a duty they owe to themselves to vote the Republican ticket. It is the best ticket, and Its leaders are not fdols." Social Selenee Association.

BLOW TO FOREIGNISM BOLD STAND TAKEN RY KNIGHTS OF PVTHIAS SUPHCMn LOUUIi. It Snya RltnnU Used In EnglishSpenklnjr Couutrle Must lie Printed In English Defeat for Germ a us. WASHINGTON. Sept. 6,-The muchmooted German question was decided by the Supreme Louge of the Kn'ghts cf Pythias, to-day, by a decisive vote against permitting the use of the ritual in other than the English language. Two votes w ere taken. The first, on the substitution of the minority report to give the German lodgvs five years of grace in which to adopt the English ritual, resulted 74 to 41 against the minority report. Then the majority report was adopted by a vote of 79 to 36. The gist of the majority report is found In the following recommendation: That the Supreme Lodge reannounce and reaffirm the declaration made at the Kansas City session; that henceforth and forevermore the ritual u.ed In this and all other English speaking nations shall be printed in the English language only, and that when the standard of our order shall be planted In any country speaking another than the English language the rituals therein used shall be printed, and all concerns over which this body has control should be conducted only In the language of such government to the end that it may be known to ail men and to all nations that round our altars Pythian Knights are taught, as one of the cardinal princljdes of our order, undying loyalty and devotion to the government to which they -owe their allegiance, whether It be the land of their birth or the country of their adoption.j It also commended the supreme chancellor for his action in upholding the law in th!a matter, and was signed by four member! of the committee, Stanton L. Carter. Thomas D. Meares, L, P. Hunt and. Aaron Myers. ' John H. Russe, of Indiana, was the aithor of the minority report, which recoitmended that lodges which have remainil loyal to the Supreme lxdge and were wording with rituals In other than the English language when the last ritual was promulgated be furnished with rituals in the language they were previously using for a period of five years, after which they should surrender them and use only the English. Three hours of debate was had over tht question. The principal speech for the mtnority was made by Representative Featherstone, of Wisconsin, and for the majority by Representative CaTter, of California. 11 was argued against the minority proposition that if five years were granted the German lodges they would apply for another extension of time at the en 1 of tht period and the whole qucsiion would have to be fought over. . I Sitting in committee of th? whole, the lodge has approved the unanimous report of the committee on the state of the order, recommending that saloon keepers, bar; tenders and professional gamblers be declared Ineligible to membership, but not affecting those who hve already become members. The question has not been aettrd upon by the Supreme Lodge proper. The same committee recommends that the Supreme Lodge proclaim against the use t of the name of Pythianism In connection with side ranks. A request has been telegraphed to line ii R. aVjie Supreme Lodge to institute a search for F. Franks, of Belle liaine, la., who c to Washington to attend the encampm;nt ana has not returned to his home. His friends wire that one of his children is at the point of death. Some dissatisfaction exists among the xt embers of the local executive committee of the encampment celebration regarding the awards by the judges In the battalion drills. It was asserted at a meeting of the committee to-night that there were Irregularities in these .awards, and a disposition was manifested not to pay the prize?, which are in money. Nothing definite waj decided on, however, ard the matter will receive further attention. SUIT FOR SALARY. Case Growinc: 0:it of tho New York Veterans Exemption Act. ALBANY, N. .Y.. Sept. .
