The populists of Cook County, - 111., had a convention at Chicago, last Saturday, and also those of Lake county, this state, had one the same day, at Hammond. The Chicago convention got into a row and broke up before any nominations were made. That at Hammond had its trouble after the ticket was made. In this last case a general free fight was indulged in, dufing the progress of •which the chairman demonstrated his fitness to preside over a meeting of “universaT’reformers” by knocking down several delegates. These are the fellows who intend to inaugurate a social millenium, ■within the next few months.

Nothing pleases a populist or an anarchist any better than a chance to pose as a martyr. In their war against the established order of things, they glory in anything which looks like they had suffered from the power of the law. Just now Leroy Templeton, owner of the Non-Conformist, and Phillip Rappaport, editor of a German anarchistic paper of Indianapolis, are glorying in the martyrdom they lately experienced in being arrested in West Indianapolis, for holding political meetings on Sunday. They had held one of their characterestic noisy pow-wows in the afternoon, in Templetons big tent, much to the annoyance of the “old fogy” religious people of that suburb, and against every protest, proceeded to hold another in the evening, and Templeton, Rappaport and one or two others were arrested. Now, however great and scandalous be the mora 1 offense of holding political meetings on the Lord's day, in this state, it is not a legal offense, and for that reason their arrest was a mistake.

The of the was one of those offenses ageinst moral sentiment and social order, against which there is no remedy except the penalty of public condemnation. To bo arrested and made the “victims of minions of the law” was just what these men wanted. This fact was fully proven by their eho.'sing: "to go to jail rather than to furnish the very small bail bond, only 825. necessary to secure their release. They wanted to. work the martyr racket for all it was worth, and would no doubt have been glad to have been kept in jail longer, instead of being released the morning, as was the case.

WORLDS MARKETS

OLD DEMOCRATIC ARGUMENT completely exposed. The .American Market Worth Over four Billion Dollars a Year More Than All Others Combined —Let Us Keep Our Own and Not Destroy It. - The renewal of the free trade party’s destructive free raw material war cry against American industries naturally calls to mind their old theory of the markets of the world, and how great a gain it will be if we can only secure them. Let us look into it. The total manufactures of the. United States in 1890, according to the last census returns, amounted in value to of which we exported to the value of $151,103, 376, leaving $8,903,332,961 worth of American manufactured goods consumed at home, as fellows: AMERICAN MANUFACTURES.

We exported to the extent of $532,141,490, leaving American farm products worth $1,927,965,964 consumed by Americana Thus:

Total home consumption, 189)..*1,927,9(15,964

We see that the American people consumed American, manufactured goods and farm products in 1890 to the extent of $Ju, 831,298,925. To this we must add the value of the foreign goods entered for consumption through our customs department, Which amounted to $773,674,812 in 1890, thereby getting the following aggregate value the entire == AMERICAN CONSUMPTION-LV-1890.

Against the aggregateconsumption of goods in the United States, worth $11,604,973,737 in the year 1890, or $178.82 for every man, woman and child of a population of 65,000; 000 persons, what are the great markets of the world that we may expect to secure 9

The markets of the world comprise only such goods as are imported by the different countries of the w r orld, because we can not claim to supply them with what they already manufacture or grow ip their own countries, unless they propose free trade, as the democratic party would have us do. They are not so foolish, however. Other countries prefer to retain what they already possess rather than throw away the substance for the shadow. We find from the American Almanac of 1888 that the total imports of all other countries in the world at the latest date for which complete returps are available, were as follows:

TOTAL FOREIGN IMPORTS. Europe, Asia, Africa, North and South America, Australia and the Islands of the Sea *7,569,000,000 This is less by over fopr billions of dollars thap the total copsumptiop of goods in the United States. Thus: Total United States Consumption 1890 '. $11,604,973,737 Total imports, all other countries, 1888 ' 7,559,000,000 United States market excess.. $4,035,973,737

Will It Be a Total Eclipse?

FARMERS, ATTENTION!

See How the Democratic Promises of 1892 Have Been Kept In 1894. In October, 1892, that great democratic authority, the Chicago Herald, exhorted its readers to vote for “a change,” and in order to catch the votes of the farmers it used the fob towing bait:

“Vote for Cleveland and 81.25 for wheat”—Chicago Herald, 1892. In less than two years we have seen many “ohanges” that htpe become only too painfully familiar to the people of the Upifed States, It is unnecessary to dwell upon these beyond drawing the attention of the farmer to the manner in which the Chicago

Herald’s promise of $1.25 for wheat has been fulfilled. This we do by quoting from the Chicago Herald of July 6, 1894, a telegram which it published as follows, grammar and all;

Vandalia, HL, July 5. —"Wheat threshing is in full blast in Fayette county. Six hundred bushels of the new crop was brought to market today and sold at 46 cents per busheL The berry is exceptionaHy fine, and weighs over sixty pounds to the bushel measure.—Chicago Herald, 1894,

POPULISTS ARE TO BLAME.

They Vote With the Free Wool Party and Against the Wool Growers. In the event of a tariff bill becoming law with free wool, it is but right that the sheep farmers of this country should know exactly who is to blame for the ch e ape n ihg or des 1 ruction of this branch of their interests. Some western wool men have accused the eastern manufacturers of desiring free wool. This is an entirely mistaken idea. The records of the senate showed a solid republican vote in favor of putting a_duty on wool, and a solid democratic vote in favor of putting wool on the free list While the populist senators voted, for a duty on wool, they are really to blame for wool being put on the free list, because they tied themselves up with the democratic senators in order to act on the income tax. Had the populists stuck By the republican senators there would have been no free wool, no tariff bill passed, and no income tax.

The policy of the free trade party is to throw our American market—worth $11,604,973,737 in 1890—open to ..the. competition of the farmers and manufacturers of all other nations, while we to secure their markets, all of which put together are worth $4,035,973,737 less than our own home market

Is it not best to retain the good home market that We already possess, also striving to cease buying the $773,674,812 worth of foreign goods that we consume and to produce these goods for ourselves, if we can, rather than to thro w a way what we are sure o f and take chances in securing a portion of the smaller markets of the rest of the world in open competition with the cheap labor of Europe, of Asia, of Africa, of Canada, of Central and South America, and of the savage labor of the Islands of the Sea?

Such is the policy of protection. But the free trade policy is to give our markets to the cheap labor countries and to compete with the cheap labor in their smaller markets. We already consume over four billion dollars’ worth of goods more than they can buy from us. Let us keep our own trade first. Always vote for protection.

The western wool growers should understand clearly that the only party to blame for free wool is the populist party of the house and senate, and the populists represent the wool-growing sections of the country. Perhaps the populists think they will acquit themselves from any blame in their actions by voting against free wool, but if the farmers can see a hole through a fivefoot door they will readily see that the Populists tied themselves up to the democrats, and it would have been utterly and absolutely impossible for the democrats to pass a tariff bill without their vote. Tnat would have left wool with 11 cents per pound duty as it had been heretofore. That the democratic platform went all to splinters we know full well They have acted very viciously toward the wool men, especially when they put a duty of 15 per cent on old rags and shoddy, and placed scoured wool on the free list. Out of ninetynine woolen manufacturers an the statq of Rhode Island there are only three that can be counted as free wool men, and there is not one in Massachusetts. It is not the eastern manufacturer who is to blame for free wool, but the populist senators.
