Senator SJienuan’s letter on “The Seven Conspiracies” appears in full oh one of our inside pages. It is-good reacting, and especially for all well meaning people who are inclining towards the fallacious financial ideas of the Peoples tyThe inventor Edison never says he has done a thing when he has not He now says that he has invented an electric motor system that is applicable to all railroads, and tliat will be cleaner, cheaper and faster than the present locomotives. In fact ninety -miles an hour is to be an ordinary speed foxpassenger trains, in the near future. It is almost certain that steam locomotives will soon be superseded by the system. It is not at all probable that the late cowardly and .blood-thirsty attack, of the Chilean rabble anti police upon the U. S. sailors at Valparaiso, Chile, will result in war, but war or no war the outrage is one that calls for full and prom] t apology upon the pari of the Chilian government, §nd such reparation as they can make, and the firm butij-ivil attitude of President -Harrison and his cabinet, in the matter, will command the approval of evOi'y patriotic and selfresprcttrig American. .George William Curtis, editor of Harper's Weekly, was for years .chief of tht* DMigsv-HiHfHt, -but he has again enrolled bis name in the Eepnblican -column: He says: "I shall vote the Republican ticket this fall. In poljt’-’s T regard Tnyself as an independent, but when it comes to a choice as between Tammany Hall and its powerful organizations *on the ere hand, and the Republican party on the other, I can have no hesitation.”

It is only a few years since tli& free-traders declared steel rails could not be made in this country, and that American railroads should pay English manufactures whatever price they might put on. steel rails. Nevertheless the Republican party placed a tariff on steel rails, factories were built, rails made, and the price gradually came down from SIOO to SBO a ton, until now they are retailed at S3O- a ton. Tin plate will also drop greatly in price, when once it is extensive!}’ manufactured in this country as it will be in a year from now. More than a year ago The Republican expressed the opinion, that if the Farmers’ Alliance was , dragged into politics, that its sure and swift disintegration would quickly fellow, and already there is much evidence, and from many directions, that our prediction was correct. At the Annual state meeting of the F. M. B. A, of Illinois, last week, for instance, figures were obtained from the officers showing that the prder in that state had fallen from 62.000 to a

little over 16,000 in the last year. At the very time when that body was in session in Springfield, exSenator Wade Hampton, of South Carolina, and a man whose personal honor and veracity was never questioned by friend or foe, bore testimony to the same moribund condition-of the Alliance in the South. He said: “The Farmers’ Alliance is rapidly disintegrating in the South, and within the next four years it will completely disappear, to live only in the memory of those who have been benefitted by the upheaval. This will be the case, not only in South Carolina, but throughout the whole South. The people there are rapidly awakening to the absurdity of the demands the organization has promulgated, and are gradually dropping off, aud foreswearing all allegiance to the Alliance. In my own State, the Governor, who was elected by the sentiment that secured my defeat for the re-election to the Senate, has already broken away in a great measure from the Alliance measures, and is catering in his administration of the affairs of the State to the conservative and thinking element. The uprising was founded on demagogy and fanaticism, and, therefore, cannot have a long existence. Moreverrfhe history of this ’coun try lias shown

that no secret political organization can live long or or retain any lasting holding on the public. We are too conservative a people, and too fair minded in our judgment of right and wrong in popular government, to permit any sway by secret societies. In my opinion, it is folly for any one in this 1 country to enter into a controversy with a Farmers’ Alliance adherent on the sub-treasury plan. The measure is so palpably wrong on it&face as to make it absurd to all who have the prosperity and welfare. of the country at heart It can never become a law until passed by Congress, and its absurdity will prevent this, no matter how much demagogues may urge its enactment. This feature of the Alliance has never been fully accepted in the South, and I have too much confidence in our people to thinK that it. ever will be.”

Norton Brothers, of Chicago, are uiaking tin-plates; . Neidringhaus, of St. Louis, is making fifty boxes a week, and will soon be making six hundred boxes a day. The. American Manufacturer, nonpartisan, says the United States Iron and Tin-plate Company is making two thouskiid boxes a month, and so on. That paper says t hat -340 - Iwxes a day 3 ' were being made at that time, Sept. 1 A large number of companies are putting in plants, including one at Elwood, in this State. It takes time to get machinery and get tinplate factories at work, but the industry is as certain as sunrise a year hence. No one questions it except a Democrat who is a free-trader, because his party is free trader, and the Anglomauic newspapers which are edited by those who are toadies to Great Britain. These papers are lying in the hope of helping Great Britain to maintain the tin-plate monopoly, but lying will not save it. The United States has steel, and tin, aud eapital, andwill have, in a few yeaik/ the greatest tinplate industry in the world, because it is the greatest consumer of tinplates. What the Anglomaniac organs are now saying about the impossibility of tin-plate manufacture it this country they said years ago about the manufacture of iron.—lndianapolis Journal.

Major McKinley’s Queries.

Here are questions Major McKinley put to Governor Campbell yesterday: Will the Governor tell me what rate of tariff would be placed on the various articles? Would he restore the tax on tea and coffee? AA ould he restore the tax on sugar ? What articles would he tax, and how much tariff would he put upon them? Will the people make a note of it —will the business men especially observe—that the tariff reformers are incapable of a business specification. What is the use wasting time over such frauds? Of course Gov. Campbell did not answer Mr. McKinley’s questions. No Democrat has dared to talk actual business on the tariff.— Brooklyn Standard Union.

WRY I AM A PROTECTIONIST.

By HON. JOSEPE NIMMO, JR.

(1) Because Protection is in conformity with the dictates of common sense and patriotism. (2) Because Protection is founded upon the hard teachings of experience, and not upon any fancied eternal fitness of things. (3) Because Protection defends home markets entirely our own and in .the aggregate at least five times as large aS the total foreign market, in which we are forced to compete sharply with all other nations. (4) Because the McKinley act is already justified by results — prices of manufactured goods no higher, prices of agricultural products advanced and fairly remunerative as the result of the stimulus given to manufactures, labor well employed, and wages never before higher. All the lies in regard to a rise in prices consequent upon “the McKinley bill” have fallen to the ground, and the Protective policy is to-day ready for a national campaign.

Tariff Pictures.

New York Press: The percentage of free imports in 1824 was less than 6 per cent In 1842 it was 27 per cent In 1857 it was 18 per cent In 1880 it was 39 per cent and in 1890-91, for the first eleven months of the McKinley bill, from October 1 to August 1 it was 47.78 per cent. Will any of the free-trade organs that habitually misrepresent the McKinley tariff, by . claiming that it prohibits commerce, dare to publish this fact? The Press challenges them to. do it.

How To Succeed.

This is the great problem of life which few satisfactorily resolve. Some fail because of poor health, others want of luck, but the majority from deficent grit—want of nerve. They are nervous. irresolute, changeable, easily get the blues and “take the spirts down ot keep the spirits up.” thus wasteing money, time, opportunity and nerve force. There is nothing like the Restorative Nervine, discovered by the great specialist. Dr. Miles, to cure all nervous'* diseases, as headache, the blues, nervous prostration, sleeplesness. neuralgia, St. Vitus dance, fits and hysteria.
