When the processtoii passed Into Washington avenue from Eleventh the ringing of a thousand bells from the ’windows of tbe Simmons’ hardware bouse greeted the Chief Executive’s ears. He' turned his face toward the , great, building covered with flags, and saw every window from the roof to the pavement filled with employes ringing from handbells a grand welcome. On iiroadway the crowd was so dense that the police had great difficulty in making room for the profession to,pass, and this march to the Sbuthefn Hotel was exceedingly tedious and sldw; bn his arriVal there the President was escorted to the balcony oh the secbhd floor tO review the parade: - He stood at the west end Of the balcony; hat in hand. Secretary Tracy stood at his fight, and Mayor Noonan, Governor Francis, Attorney-General Wood of Missouri, R. C. Kerens and Colonel J. O. Churchill on his right. The mounted police passed first, t£dn. -the United States cavalry, 100 strong. When the G. A. R., banuer and flags at the head of the long line of old soldiers appeared, the President’s face lightened up with a good-natured smile, and ho watched with tender interest as tho old comrades, some crippled, maimed and old; hobbled add marched past. “Here come the boys,God bless them,” said the president, aa the Sons of Veterans noxt appeared in view. His interest in them was quite as great as it was in the old soldiers. The Missouri State Guards and the St Louis and : the Western Commercial Travelers’ associations completed the parade, and the President retired to the hotel parlors, where he was kept busy shaking hands until time to go to the Merchants’ Exchange reception. The reception at the Merchants’ Exchange was worthy of the occasion. The great building was crowded from top to bottom; and when the Presidential party entered tboy were received with feheer upon cheer. The crowd was formed in two lines, and as they marched past the President he gave one man a right-handed and the second one in the file a left-handed shake. Thq handshaking was done so expeditiously that over two thousand were able to grasp the President’s hand in the short time given to the reception. President Bernheimer of the exchange, introduced Governor Francis, who stepped to the rostrum, and in the name of the State of Missouri welcomed the Chief Magistrate of the United States. He said:

glad to welcone the Chief Magistrate of this great couutry within its borders. The people of this Comm on wealth yield to none in their devotion to the American Union, the American people and the man who Is the servant and chief of this great Nation. You have traVoled much, and have everywhere been warmly received; but nowhere has yonr greeting been more hearty than here In the metropolis of the State of Missouri You have visited two other great cities, and have passed through a Commonwealth greater in area than.'the six New England States, and in every .part of it the Chief Executive is honored and reverenced. Missouri is always ready to do honor as a sovereign State to the head of an indissoluble Union. Upon the conclusion of Governor Francis’ address Mayor K. A. Noonan took the rostrum. He said: Mr. President,In the name of St Louis I welcome von to this city. In this, the metropolis of the West, the n an who holds the most exalted office in the the gift of the people will always be received with honor and respect Before j ou leave, we hope to show yod a part at least of the wealth and prosperity of this city. The history of St. Louis dates back to 1763, when neither Pittsburgh, Chicago. Cleveland, Cincinnati or Milwaukee were in existence. It was first under Spanish rule, then passed into the hands of France, and in 1361 was sold by Napoleon to the United States. Since that time its progress his been at once steady and rapid, untii it is to-day what you see it. Nowhere are the people more inspired by the feel ing of patriotism, >nd nowhere will the Chief Executive of I he United Stales he received with greater cordtatity and respect. Charles Parsons nexi advanced and introduced Mr. Harrison. The President was clad in a black Prince Albert. coat, and wore a yellow rose in his hat-ton-hole. He stood a little to the rif bt of the speakers’ stand, and was unable to open his address for several minutes, fo continuous was the applause. When it had subsided, Harrison said: V TH* GOVERNOR OF THIS STATE OF MISSOURI, Mb. Mator and Fiu-ow-Citizens:— It is very grateful and very helpful to be so cordially received by yon this morning; the position which 1 have been called upon to admlnistef.IS vory great and full of care. The man who with eomieientious regard ahil proper appreciation of the great trust, seeks to administer it conscientiously, will findliimself fug of perplexities and doubts; duily besieged by the foes who differ with him as to public administration; hot it is a great comfort to know that we hare an intelligent, thoughtful and at the same time a dis.-riminattng people, who Judge thoughtfully and kindly the acts of those pnbl o servants who show a disposition to do right. I dhl not need these etoq lent words of assurance; you have alread; Impressed upon me the great lesson that there are more things in which wo agree nd have common interests than in which Me differ, and our differences as a Nation i s to public sentiment are all put together I n the keystone of patriotism and brotherly I eve. It gives me pleasure to - ritness, since my last visit to St. Louis, the evidence of that steady and uninterrupted t rowth which this great Commonwealth cen u r has made siaee Its transition from an Indian trading post on the Mississippi. No yea r has been without it* evidence of woi derfut development of commerce mid Intercourse. As a population yon lu.ve now passed beyond the period of don It and uncertainty, and the career of St. Louis is assured. Yon have grown like the i >a k, annually adding her ring to the prosierity and wealth and commercial means of y xir country; you have struck the root of your commerce and trade deep into the nourishing earth of this great fertile.land in which ybu have lived,, and the branches, the high branches of yonr enter;ir se are reaching towards the sunlight Unit shines upon yon. Yon are situated here upon the Mississippi river, with a Water commnnieatinn with the nea, a communication which thts-Goveniment has .undertaken to improveand secure, and which I believe trill be made secure by proper legislation and assistance.

Tills Western country is destined to become thei center of a civilization such as the world has never seen before. The party then retired, President Harrison leaning upon the arm of R. C. Kerens. He went through the reading roots, through the hall to the main stairway, took his carriage Oil Third street add Was escorted to the Fair Grounds, where iunchfe'on wfis served at the Jockey Club house, aftor which the amphitheater arena and the Various exhibits were visited. From the Fair Grounds the distinguished party made a flying visit to East St. Louis. In the evening the President visited the great Exposition, made a brief speech to the assembled thousands in MbSib Hall, and later spent some time in] examining the magnificent exhibits, With which he exprdssd himself weli pleased, It was ten O’clock wbefi the President’s Carriage reached the Union Depot, whence he soon after took the special train for Indianapolis. * The Prestdeiit at HU Old House.

THAT BROKEN ENGAGEMENT, lit Health the Alleged, bat Fartans’s „ Reverse* the Probable Canse. New York, Oct 13.—A special to tho Sun from Syracuse, N. Y., says: The engagement of Miss Winnie Davis, the “Daughter of the Confederacy,’’ to Mr. Alfred Wilkinson of this city, which was announced loss than six months ago and which created so great a surprise in all parts Of the country, has been broken. Intimate friends here of Miss Davis, authorize this statement They assign as the cause the ill health of the young .lady. Miss Davis has not been in good health for some time, and she went abroad for the purpose of recruiting her strength. Her trip was beneficial, but did not restore her fully to health. Her mother and her intimate friends felt that dnder these circumstances it would be best that the engagement should be broken, and this step was most reluctantly taken by Miss Davis. Oh the other band, some of Mr. Wilkinson’s friends are of the opinion that the recent reverses of his family, his moderate income, and the still moro recent burning of the old homestead bad some weight in shaping Miss Winnie’s decision.

T’acs, as myf, tb'ero was a strong tariff rdffflrJtt wave ssteeping hVet the Republican carty in who We.str£*(nL'*}<a»S%y: *!?' faw Republican Congressmen from the West went to Washington in 1978 with a de* termination to reduce the tariff. Mr. Dawes, of Massachusetts, was than in the position now occupied by Major McKinley, chairman of the Ways tfid Means Committee of the House. As i Representative or New England he Was Opposed to a reduction ef the tariff, New firisrland Clamoring at that time For the highest possible protection. It it interesting to note that this Same Mr. Dawes, how Senator from MassaBhusetts, has begun to 3ee the tariff in a different light,- now that Neat England has ceSsed to reap a benefit in all directions from the highest form of protection, and her mamifacturerilir.ro, in fact, begiifi to cry aloud for free raw maierla's. Thissamo Mr: Ddwes said of theMsKinloy bill, in the SCriate tm Arighst 9, that "he recognized that ching's id JsriMmeat In New England," and that ‘‘nobody felt more sensibly than he did the inequalities and injustices offeatures hi the pending bill.” After saying this he Voted jylth the Democrats to reduce the duty off iron ore. But in 1878 New England’s views on tariff reform were different from what they arc to-day, sitkd so Mr. Dawes held different Views ton at that time Although he was Chairman of the Ways arid Means Committee he did not succeed in shaping such a hill as he wanted for his own dear New England; and hence he left to a Western member the task of defending the hill that was constructed in accordance with Western ideas. This was Mr. Finkelnberg, of Missouri. In defending the tariff reduction bill which the committee had brought in he made use ef language, in striking contrast with the sentiments of the protection party to-day He said that the committee’s measure was intended merely ‘‘to divest some industries of the superabundant protection, which smells of monopoly, and which it was never intended they Should enjoy after the war.” But McKinley’-a duties have that very odor—they "araeil of monopoly.” As Borin attpr.th*H**e *& iStSJ Mr. p*k»lnberg, speaking for his party’s Ways and Means Committee, said that it was never intended that our industries should enjoy war Uusieipiter the war. Now what do we find twftfcty-flve years after the close of the iwar? The few men left in the Republican party who talk as Mr.

Finkelnburg a a against war duties and “the smell of monopoly,” are looked upon with suspicion and denounced as ■ ‘assistant Democrats” McKinley comes forward with duties higher than the country has ever known— far higher even than under the storm and stress of the civil war—and has the assurance to defend these exorbitant duties by telling the people that “when merchandise is cheapest men are poorest,” and therefore “we want no return to cheap times in ottr own country.” Under the fostering cafe of McKinley, and his high tariff associates, trusts are Bpringing up about us like crab-grass after a spring shower. Old trusts are confirmed in their possessions, and in many cases get higher protection. The linseed oil trust gets some of this “superabundant protection which smells of monopoly.” Three years ago the price of linseed oil was almost as low here as in England. Then the trust was formed and prices were put up to the highest point that t£e duty of 25 cor ts a gallon would permit Atpresent our people are payi ng almost twice the English price, and only five or six thousand dollars’ worth were bought last year, owing to the duty. As the trust has complete control of the home market, and as the combination contains 97 per cent, of the linseed oil mil S in the aqontjy, one would think that they might at least continue to thrive on the existing duty. The trust did not even ask fora higher duty, so far as the published reports show, but McKinley apparently likes duties which “sin nil of monopoly,” and accordingly he raised the duty on linseed oil from 25 cents a gallon to 80 cents. As if this yet did not smell strongly enough of monopoly the Senate put it up to 82 cents a gallon. That gives the trust a total of 7 cents for future joggling with prices. The sugar trust, too, was well provided for. The difference between the duty on raw sugar and refined sugar, which competes with the trust, was made greater than at present, so that, although the people may get the benefit of the cheaper sugar, tha trust will actually reap greater profits than ever. The president of the 3ugar trust. Theodore F. Havemeyor, has the same Tiews about high prices as McKinley himself has—they both think that high prices are best. The trust simply aims to reach the same result as that aimed at by McKinley, indeed, the trust has not failed to sec that their alms are the same and to point oat the absurdity of any protectionist objecting to trust prices. Last Winter fie president of the sugar trust said: “The great cry of one of the great parties is for protection! that is, they oiy for It loudly during campaigns. But when we proceed to give ourselves some protection a howl is raised. They demand protection for the industries When an industry protects itself it is said that it is illegal.” Why should the people care whPthei it is a McKinley or trust that makes them pay higher prices? The result it the same when the money is spent. —CbauBcey St IJepew tells the New York farmers to take for their motto ■‘Beoipromtj, Hoisiiasten, Eevenue.1* But somebody ha* got held of the fares >ral revets**), anil to

But even if we accept his figures ol two-tenths of a cent per bushel, giving a total of *800,000, ia not that sum worth . saving to the wheat grower rather than let it go to a greedy and r*paoioiu_g trust? For the year ended June 80, 1890, im- ■ porta of wheat into this country ■ amounted to 157,000 bushels, valued w H *112, 000. In order to make a pretenceo) a helping the farmer, McKinley raises thg ■ duty of 20 cents a bushel on wheat to 85 ■ cents.

Why should he strain at a five-cent duty an* swallow a trust T~ — QUEER reasoning. L Because Protection Hurts England Does K Necessarily Help ©•? One of the favorite methods of tb* protectionists is to quote from the English papers any thing against ths “American system of protection” add to point to their quotations to prove hou good a thing “protection” ia—England does not like it The childlike simplicity of these gentlemen in claiming that because our “protection” hurts England | therefore it necessarily and Infallibly helps us. is one of the most delightful examples of the truth that ipun are hul i ctisHma or aiB^rArGrowth. Bui.; tba-*' protectionists bold to It as a bed-rock principle that, in trading, the seller always makes a profit and the buyer loses. True, they do not hold to this as a principle ruling in domestic trade. As between Americans they usually admit ; that both seller and buyer may make a profit by trading. When you cross salt water they hold that only the seller can make a profit Benee they snatch up greedily all news from Europe showing ,that the McKinley hill is very unpopular across the ses. McKinley will refer In his speeches to such news as proving his wisdom in making the high tariff still higher. The protectionist papers delight in printing quotations to the same effect They hive had had tack, however, with their quotations. Some of theii choicest have turned out to be forgeries. So great was their need in the campaign of 1888 of having certain things said by certain English papers that some of their clubs and committees wentto flooding the country with forged quotations As they attach so much importance to English quotations, here is one for them. This is from the London Public Opinion. The editor, in giving an account of the changes in tariff View* now going on here, says: “Mr. Blaine’s reciprocity proposals, which are really incipient free trade, find daily increasing support among Republican voters.” One State convention after another has indorsed Mr. Blaine’s reciprocity plaD and the rank and file of theJtepuhlican party are held to he in sympathy with it And yet here is an English paper calling that plan “incipient free trade!” If English quotations are really so important as the protectionist leaders pretend that they ace. is it not a dear case that reciprocity is a delusion and a snare? The English are calling it “incipient free trade”—as, in faot, it i»— and. yet orthodox protectionists are failing over one another ia their haste to endorse reciprocity. Clearly the protectionists do not really think their English quotations so important after all_. '
