REPUBLICAN DOCTORS DIS
AGREE.
Thu flection is scarcely over, anil
already our Republican friends are
beginning to sqnalibie over its mean
ing and import.
Some ot the quidnuncs say it means
a determined effort to biing nliout bi
metallism by international agreement,
while others maintain that the people
have declared for the single gold stan
dard, and between those who have
embiaced these opposing views we
may expect sooner or later a lively
and interesting row.
Mark Hanua has said to some New
York papers that the •'farmers and la
bel era of western cities were won over
by explaining to them that the Repub
lican party stood on the St. Louis
platform, which advocates bimetallism
under an international agreement, and
that Republicans are not, gold niono
mt iallislR." From this declaration of
the great Mark, it is to be supposed
that he will cast all his influence on
the side of bimetallism by internation
al agreement, and if he docs so the
gold monometallists may expect to
have a hard tight on hand.
It is too early to predict McKinley's
coutsc, only it is known that he lias
been in the past mod friendly to s ; l
ver.
Uu the other hand, the gold organs
aye training their guns against bimet
allism of any sort and shout that by
the lestilt of the election the people
have declared in favor of the single
gold standard and that standard
should be at once tirmly established.
In this tight, they will be joined by
many Republican leaders who favor
the gold standard and by the India
napolis couventionists aud their fol
lowers.
It is too early yet to say what pro
portions this family squabble brewing
will attain, but it promises to give ns
an interesting fight.
A FALLACIOUS DOCTRINE.
''Protection to all American indus
tries" sounds well and, as catch words
the phrase has had remarkakable
success. It has attracted to its sup
port all ibteresls with an axe to grind,
each actuated by the selfish hope that
it may receive the promised protection
whatever may befall other interests.
It has fostered trusts and combines of
various interests, that they may be
able to secure by concerted nctiou the
high tariff in their favor, which each
seperately could not hope to obtain.
Thes* trusts and combines, originally
formed to capture the promised pro
tection, conscious of their power, con
tinue to exercise it to influence legis
lation in other directions, and to
regulate and control the juices of their
products and the wages of laborers
employed in their line. Thus the
direct result of protection is to create
and foster classes whose material in
terests conflict to some exteut with
the general welfare.
Bnt the greatest objection to the
doctrine as au economical one is, that
it is fallacious because impracticable
It is impossible to protect the great ag
ricultural interests (sugar excepted) of
the United States and the commercial
interests by a protective tariff. The
only industries or interests suscepti
ble of protection by such a tariff are
the manufacturing mining and wool
growing industries. Now these can
only b e protected at the experts© of
the agricultural and commercial (in
eluding the carrying) interests of the
country.
So tiiat, when analyzed and reduced
to its last terms, the shibboleth of^
"Protection to all American indus
tries." meaus high protection to some
American industries, to the detriment
of other great American industries.
The actual experiments made of the
doctrine has demonstrated this to be
true, and the greatest shouters to-day
for "protection to all American indus
tries" are those who hope to secure
that protection for their particular
industry. It resolves itself into a
scramble for the spoils, whenever a
new protective tariffis to be Inaugura
ted and a patient and suffering people
usually pay for the fiddling.
The Discovery Saved his Life.
Mr. G. Caillonet, Druggist, Beavers
ville, III', says.: "To Dr. King's New
Discovery I owe my life. Was taken
with LaGrippe and tiled all the phy
sicians for miles about, but of no avail
and was given up and told I could not
live. Having Dr. King's New Discov
ery in my store I sent for a bottle and
began its use and from the first dose
began to get better, and after using
three bottles was up aud about again.
It is worth its weight in gold. We
won't keep store or house without it."

LET U8 RALSE OUR O WN SUGAR.
An article recently published in the
Washington Post, proposing that this
country should raise its mvu sugar, is
attracting a great deal of attention,
and is everywhere approved and sup
ported. The Atlanta Journal com
ments as follows on the Post's propo
sition :
"Tie Washington Post which knows
about other things than politics, is of
the opinion that the peojde of this
country can raise all the sugar they
nei'd. At, present they produce only a
small part of it, hut the success of the
beet sugar industry in several States
indicates Unit it could be enlarged so
as to meet the entire domestic demand
for sugar.
"The consumption of sugar in this
couutry during the jear 1892, the last
year for which the figures are obtaina
ble, was 4,627,000,000 pounds. At the
low price of four cents a pound this
quantity of sugttr would be worth
more than $175,000,000, or considera
bly more than one-half of the cotton
ci op.
"The American Agriculturist has
reports from various sources showing
that great progress has been made iu
the manufacture of beet sugar in the
United States. One of the Spreckles
factories at Watsonville, Cal , will pay
out for beets and labor this year not
less thau $750,000. During the past
eight years it has disbursed over $3,
000,000 ou the same account, or on au
average of $1000 per day since it start
ed work, 'and has protected the whole
section from distress during the liard
times.' it is stated that this year the
mill will handle not less than 120,000
tons of beets, and it will bo neaily
Clinsuuas befoie the crop is harvest
ed. It is further noted that $150,000
cash was paid out in one day by the
factory, $120,000 of it being for beets
alone. 'Over 900 cattle are being fed
at the creamery, mostly with beet
pulp,' and 7126 tons of sugar were
turned out as the product of about
four months' work.
"The beet sugar industry is by no
means confined to the Pacific slope,
iu the little town of Levi, Utah, there
is a factory which paid $37,000 for
beets in a single month last year. Up
t > Oct 14 the factory had received
12.000 tons of beets, had worked up
$11,000 tons, 'and had made 17,000
sacks of refined sugar.' The local
paper states that 3200 acres have been
planted in beets this year; that to
raise, harvest and deliver them costs
$30 an acre; that the average crop
this season is 15 tons per acre, 'which
at $4 a ton briugs S60 an acre, and,
therefore, means $30 clear profit per
acre to the farmer.' On the whole
acreage planted 'this means that $96,
000 clear profit will be distributed
arflong the farmers this year.' 'There
is no place iu the world,' this same
paper adds, 'where the farmers are
doing better.'
"Nebraska produces sugar beets of
fine quality, aud the sugar factories in
that State are doing well. A new fac
tory has just been completed in the
Pecos Valley, New Mexico. It is be
lieved by those who have made a prac
tical investigation of the subject that
the sugar beet can be cultivated suc
cessfully in the South. Mr. Hartmann,
01 this city is now in his native Ger
man village, working up a colony to
'settle a largte tract of land near Cal
houn Falls ou the Savannah rivet, in
South Carolina. The colouy will un
dertake varions enterprises, one of the
most important of which will be the
production of the sugar beet. Mr.
Hartmann believes that the soil in
that region will yield prolific crops of
this article, and predicts that a large
beet sugar factory will soon be in op
eration there.
"Should the experiment at Calhoun
Falls succeed it will surely be followed
by others iu the South, and it is quite
possible that the sugar beet may give
us a new and very profitable industry."
There can be no doubt that with but
little encouragement this country could
easily raise all the sugar it needs for
home consumption. All sugar produc
ing countries became such by encour
agement, and the beet root industry of
Europe would never have been estab
lished without the system of bounties
inaugurated by Napoleon.
After the passage of the bounty law
there was a great impetus given to the
sugar industry in this country, and a
very marked increase in the output;
and the repeal of that law has not
stopped the advance. It will be noted
in the article we publish how consid
erable has been the increase iu the
beet sugar production of this country.
There is every reason for believing
that now that it has a good start it
will keep on steadily improving, and
that each year we will cmne nearer to
supplying the needs of the country in
the matter of sugar.— i'lmes-Demo
crat.
PROCESSION A MILE LONG.
Another circus is in town and the
small hoy is in his element again.
The Great Wallace Show reached the
western shores of the continent and
are paying Vallejo a visit. The streets
this morning were alive with jieople
who had come out to witness the pa
rade. A splendid band wagon with a
full quota of musicians headed the
procession. Alter them came horse
back riders, gorgeously dressed, on
richly caprisoned steeds ; clowns rid
iDg along in carts drawn by donkeys
furnished fun for the crowds ns the
parade progressed, following another
baud was a wagon enclosed with glass
containing a snake charmer and her
slippery friends; wagon after wagon
with all kinds of wild animals passed
by, including one with four enormous
lions in it. There were a number of
huge elephants, a drove of camels and
a long line of horsemen and horse
women, Roman chariots, etc., the en
tire procession covering a full mile.
A marked feature of the affair w«s the
superior class of horses used by the
management, showing evidence of
good care.—Vallejo (Cal.) Chronicie
Aug. 21., 189o.
Now, that the "Napoleon of Pro
tection" ami "Advance Agent of
Prosperity" is on his sure way to the
white house, all the diversified inte
rests of the United States which ex
pect protection from a promised re
publican protective tariff are in a
flutter of pleasurable anticipation,
each getting ready to work its rabbit
foot and put through its little scheme,
to operate the public purse for its
|own benefit. But when the whole
scheme is put through many will be
disappointed aud will have leisure to
pouder over the fact that even im
mundane affairs it often happens that
"many are called hut few are chosen."
Just now everybody is beginning to

Wm. JeBuings Bryan lives in the
hearts aud confidence of his country
men. He has proven himselt the
foremost American of his day, and lie
will continue to he the leader of the
people and the ablest defender of their
cause. His cause is not lost. His
victory is hut defeired.—Augusta
Chronicle, Deui.
Some legislation is necessary to
make good the deficit caused by the
knocking out. the incerne tax clause of
tiie Wilson bill
A bill of a few lines, pnttinga small
additional duty on sugar, and con
verting the present ad valorem duty
into a specific one, will do it.
When you consider the number
of States in this vast Union which
will cast their electoral votes tor
Bryan, the extent of territory they
embrace the diversified interests
they represent, yon must conclude
that the "free silver craze," as it is
called, is pretty general aud has a
firm hold on the people.
Unless the incoming administration
adopts some measure which will re
lieve the people from the present dis
tressing conditions, this so-called
"craze" will spread like a prairie fire
and envelope the whole union iu 1900.
If McKinley and his advisers are vise
in their generation they will bend
their best energy to bring about bi
metallism by international agreement.
High tariff is not the remedy and if
the Republican party is unwise enough
to try that alleged jmnacea, it may
look for a Waterloo at the next elec
tion. The trouble is with our mone
tary system, not with the fiscal.
The immediate result of McKinley's
election was to bring gold out of its
hiding places. The hoarders of gold
aie now hustling it into the treasury
for paper currency to do business with,
as gold is not desirable as a circulating
medimu, and in consequence the gold
reserve has been increasing steadily.
Of course, gold men are jubilant over
the situation and proclaim that pros
perity is returning to our shores to
make this country its permanent home
under the "standard money of the ci
vilized world."
While we hope their prophecy will
come true, yet we have our apprehen
sions that sood a reaction will set in
and the outward flow of the "yellow
metal" resume its course. When that
juncture is reached, we may hear- more
talk about "bond issues iu time of if
peace."
We fear much there can be no per
manent prosperity in the country with
its present unsatisfactory monetary
system.

) Whether be helped or injured his
cause n»ay never be settled beyond
dispute, but he has certainly given to
the couutry aud the world the mos'
marvelous exhibition of energy, endu
rance, and fluency, of speech that has
ever Inch exhibited in the political
history of any country.—Philadelphia
Times,
The Bimetallic league of Great
Britain evidently does not know the
Republican party, and has not noted
in the past the white margin between
its pledges and performance; and it
must have failed signally to observe
the rapid progress of the party lead-o s
in the campaign from a bimetallic to
a gold standard. The pronuiiciainen
to will lint be altogether in vain,
however, as it is not improbable that
Mr. McKinley's party will be very
inucli disposed to take its platform
and pledge seriously, after all, in the
light of its present experience—Char
leston News and Courier, Gold.
J. Pierpom Morgan spent consider
able time with Mr. Hanna and Corne
lius Bliss at headquarters. Previous
to the openiug of the campaign it was
said that Mr. Morgan had agreed not
to force a bond issue until after elec
tion. Soxre people insinuated that it
was to talk about this that Mr.
Morgan called on Mr. Hanna. Others
said it was to listen to Mr. Hanna's
statement of the expenditures during
the campaign. While Mr. Hanna and
and the two great financiers were in
consultation Gen. Horace Porter
called. It was then said that Mr.
Morgan had called to insist that Mr.
Bliss be named for Secretary of the
Treasury, and Gen. Porter for Secre
tary of War. When Mr. Bliss and
Mr. Morgan came from the room both
gentlemen were smiliug as though
something had beeu accomplished.—
New Yorjc Journal, Dein.
It is only fair to say that the hear
iug of Mr. Bryau has heeeu such as to
invite, and hold the popular respect.
It is possible to disseut from many ot
his opinions and yet recognize the
brilliant, persistent, desperate forti
tude that has made his leadership per
vasive beyond precedent. It was bis
fight and he has shrunk from no labors
and spared uo expenditure of strength
in the battle which has ended in his
defeat. Out ot the material at its
command the Chicago convention
made no mistake in committing its
caosc to the orator who carried its
lavor by storm. No other man could
have led its disorganized and clashing
interests with the same courage aod
untiring taith, or directed a erode
campaign to any better results. That
the faith of this man in his cause has
been unquestioned and unfailiug no
oue need question,—Spriugdelu Ra

The States pertinently remarks :
"It is well to inform our Boston arid
Philadelphia friends, who have been
watching with jealous eyes the ra|>id
increase of our export trade, that
there are now in this city a delegation
ot the Illinois Grain Dealers' Associa
tion, and they are so well pleased with
the btuyvesaut docks and elevators
together with the other facilities of this
port, that they declare the export
produce of the great West will pass
through this city. In other words,
that New Orleans will be the gateway
for the grain exported to Europe. The
handling of this immense trade means
more to New Orleans than people cau
imagine."
New Orleans has been making rapid
strides in securing export trade, and
we are glad to see it, but there is no
reason why slie should not reacli
out for the import trade and be the
general gateway tor all southern and
western trade. She has great natural
