Tin: predilection of mortal? to peep into eternity is forcibly illustrated by many editorials in the newspapers of the country headed "The End of the Debate in the Senate." Mayou Hopkins told the grand jury the other day that he knew of no public Rambling in the city of Chicago. Per haps he spoke the truth, but in so doing accused himself of beiug the stupidest man in Chicaro. .>;'• ■ Three men named Sullivan, Mitch ell ami C'orbett are members of the some choir in an Ohio Sunday . school. It is presumed that if they are at all ike their namesakes they furnish "chin music" exclusively. J -'.yX' Ohio Weslevan university will con fer the degree of doctor of laws upon Gov. McKlnley. He is entitled to the degree, for the way lie doctored our tar iff laws was enough to paralyze the in dustry of the whole country. Colored men cannot become mem bers of the American Railway Union. It Is a white men's organization, but the time may come when it will need the as sistance of colored men badly, and plead lor it in vain. Whatever present con ditions may be, it should be borne in mind that men can always afford to be just. Maj. Baldwin's bill permitting the sale -of pine as fast as it becomes mer chantable, on the Indian reservations of this state, has merit. Such a disposition of the pine would be preferable to the old plan of permitting it to be stolen. relying lor compensation upon suits against the trespassers, who invariably prove to be bankrupt after judgment is rendered against them. Two Montana stockmen fought a duel near Chicago the other day, and both were badly wounded. .There was, of sourse, a woman iv the case. The men set a bail example to their French brethren by shedding each other's blood. Such a procedure is not war ranted by the code duello as understood at the present time, and if persisted in may make the business so hazardous that none will engage in it. Statistics show that less than half of the adult male population of Chicago vote at elections. The non-voters, how ever, are always kickers against the existing or.ler of things political. Few men would leave the management of their private business to others and ex* pect it to be attended to satisfactorily. If they should do so, would they have any right to complain? There is not a great deal of difference between politics and business. . - Ax Indiana clergyman has ."scan dalized" his friends, so it is said, by persisting in preaching the funeral ser mon oi his own wife. There was noth ing in the act that should scandalize any one. \o one knew the qualities of the deceased; woman better than her husband, and if he chose to eulogize her it was nobody's business, but his own. Funeral discourses are at best but a farce, used to exploit virtues that the deceased never possessed.' * ' An Indian convicted of murder has been sentenced to be hanged in Wis consin. It is many years since a legal hanging took place In the Badger state, but the frequency of murders suggests that the practice be revived. The maudlin sentiment that induced the abolition of capital punishment has run its course, and a demand for better pro tection to human life has taken its place. But Indians should uot be the only sub jects of the law's vengeance. There are many white men who deserve hanging, and should receive their deserts. The intelligence from the diamond trust, of which the Rothschilds are the chief owners, will be apt to produce a change in the policy of congress regard ing the duty on these gems.;. It is said that the proposed high tariff would pro duce a great fall in the value of the im mense stock of unsold diamonds -on hand, "and greatly reduce the dividends lv holders of the trust's, stock, which for years past has been 25 per cent. .No doubt when this news reaches congress steps will be taken to .protect the dia- ' mond - trust in its dividends of 25 -per cent, even if it is necessary in order to do so to impose an additional duty upon woolens used in the manufacture of the clothing of the working-men.

' ; "' ■~.X : ' ii .'. A TELLING BLOW. . .'.''. About the most formidable blow which McKiuleyism has ever received has just been administered in the bouse of its friends by Col. A. L. Conger, of Akron, 0., a Republican who enjoys national fame in bis party councils. Col. Conger undertakes to tell 'Gov. M;: Kin ley why be should not be the Republican candidate fur president in lS'.iii, and in doing so he unwittingly bestows the highest praise possible npou the Democracy, in that "he shows that the Republicans have betrayed and the Democrats protected - the interests of the people. - -; What Col. Conger says gains addi tional force from the fact that he is a ' manufacturer, and writes from a manu facturer's standpoint. And still' he flays "we do not want protection which fosters trusts.". . --X •"'•- ■■'■•■■ He has the fairness and manliness to concede that the present business dis tress is a Republican legacy, and not a ' Democratic condition. Note these words : "We must not forget that the Jaw 3 under which we are living -today were passed mainly by the Republican party. Whether or not these laws are responsi ble for the present situation, it is quite likely that the recent panic would nave come, even though President Harrison had been re-elected." - Every fair-minded man will agree with Col. Conger. The panic came be fore there was the slightest opportunity for the new administration either to prevent or produce it. It was, as Col. Conger concedes, the result of McKinleyism. His appeal to the Republicans to repudiate McKinley ism is equivalent to an invitation to join the Democratic hosts. Though Col. Conger's fulmination is given in full elsewhere, the Globe*- de sires to emphasize by repeating his ap peal to the farmers to leave the Repub lican party, which he makes in this forcible manner: "By request 1 went before Maj. Mc- Klnley, when he was framing his bill, and asked that no duty be put upon binder twine, and explained to him the reasons why it would be against the in terests of the Republican party and the people to nut a duty upon it, but the duty went on. The binder trust 1 was manufacturing sisal twine, which cost four cents a pound manufactured, and it was being sold to the farmer at 14, 15 and lCcents.goo or 400 per cent above its cost. The trust, with perhaps $0,000,000 or $7,000,000 invested, has been paying dividends on a capital of over 830,000.000. Now there is not a farmer in the Uuited States, if he understands his interests, who will vote for any bill which perpe trates such an injustice upon him. There is not a merchant, business man, or manufacturer outside of the trust iv the Uuited States who is interested in perpetrating such an injustice. Our friends (the enemy) turned this matter against us in the last campaign." The absurdity of Col. Conger's argu ment that he and the classes who are robbed by McKinleyism can hope for. relief within the ranks of the Repub lican party is too apparent to require even mention. It is, however, a cheeting indication that the reaction has begun, when a prominent Republican has the boldness and independence to tell the truth. His utterances will bear fruit. : . STOP LYING! Paragraphs are afloat in the columns of the Eastern newspapers containing the statement that Minnesota is suffer ing from a plague of locusts. The statement is utterly without foundation —a lie made out of whole cloth. Not a single locust has been seen within the limits of the state this year, and conse quently not so much as a blade of grass has furnished it food. How the report originated it is difficult to learn. Those responsible for the origin ot the lie and those who are circulating it are doing the state a grave injury. Let it be known far and wide that there are no locusts in Minnesota: that there are no chinch bugs; that there are neither weevil nor rust in our wheat fields, nor bugs in our potato patches. In short, let it be heralded far aud wide that there are no insect plagues of any sort in Minnesota. Now that the janitor of the city hall has withdrawn his constitutional aegis, Mister McCardy's sole reliance rests upon Counselor Tim Reardon. WHAT CONGRESS HAS DONE. One of those Republicans who thinks himself facetious sent a Minnesota Democrat one of those little books with its pages all blank and on its cover printed, "What the Fifty-Third ; Con gress Has Done." On the cover was a request that it be returned to the sender with such comments as the recipient might care to make. It was returned with its blank pages containing the fol lowing comment: The Democratic party declared for commercial freedom. Converted to that belief enough sensi ble Republicans to put control of the nation in its hands.' Repealed that product of duplicity, trafflcing aud protection, the Sherman purchase act. Repealed that piece of partisan legis lation, tlie federal election laws, v.- L. Set to work to cast out the frauds from the pension rolls and to send to prison the rascals who perpetrated them. i Saved $25,000,000 from the appropria ation for the first year and reduced the estimate for the next $25,000,000 more. Set about bringing order out of the chaos into which Republican incapacity had plunged our monetary system, and giving the country a sound, safe aud stable currency. Began the task ot unshackling trade, its movement now temporarily checked by a few Republicanized senators, the only result of whose treachery will be to advance by years the entire removal of all restrictions on the right of Amer ican citizens to exchange their products where and with whom tbey will, thus setting in motion the wheels of indus try and affording employment to the Re publican army of the unemployed. Next? XX FRANK, IF RAPACIOUS. The entire cost of refining / sugar in the country Is 11 cents a hundred pounds. The McKinley tariff gave, the trust, to compensate for . the "differ ence" in cost between this aud foreign refineries, fifty cents a hundred pounds, and a Democratic senate has been found ;so wonderfully constituted as to give the trust at least 12% cents a hundred pounds protection. We say "at least," because the schedule is. so artfully ar ranged that some 47 cents a. hundred Is possible ' under it. No "one '-: seems to know exactly how much protection there is in the tax, but ; it is useless as a revenue tax because it will shutout avrfE SAiOTaa^tyi^ DAILY GLOBE: THURSDAY 'sMORNIrfGt, JUNE S& 1594. imports. . It is equally clear that it Is not needed -for protection, because Havemeyer testified a few ryears ago . that he could refine cheaper than they could abroad, and the investigations made here and abroad confirm his state-, ment. .... • :-. , Why the trust demanded this protec tion was elicited in the examination of President Havemeyer by ilie senate in vestigating committee; and what the trust is and what it is for wis stated . with a frankness unusual among the ! mites, and due, probably, to the fact that Havemeyer is a Democrat, and, therefore, not familiar with the i sophistry with which his Republican co trustees try to shield their selfish schemes. To questions, the head of ; the sugar trust said that his trust was ' formed with a view of controlling the output and price to the people of this country:; that it had succeeded in it; that that was . its principal object, and that it did -it to make money. He fur ther said that it had taken advantage of the tax ou imports to fix prices just be low the point where imports -could he profitably made; that it had done this so as practically to exclude foreign competition; that. Its effect was to ad vance the price, and that, as a result, the consumers ■ were paying three eighths of a cent a pound more for their sugar than they would otherwise pay. $25,000,000 « V IX. No mistake was made by President Cleveland whenfie called Judge Lochren from the judicial bench and made him his commissioner of pensions. When the 80th of this month arrives the commis sioner will cover into the treasury an unexpended balance of twenty-five million dollars of the appropriation for pensions for the fiscal year that ends that day. Under the "God helu tne surplus" policy, initiated by Tanner and continued by Raum and Repub licanism, -the pension bill had grown by leaps and bounds until the country be came alarmed. When Raum submitted au estimate for this year of 8180.000,000, Harrison, in alarm, insisted that it be reduced to 5160.000.000. which was done on a promise that congress would make l good the deficit. But the elections came, and Raum went out and Locnren came in, and, despite the -shrieks and lamentations of the professional old soldier and Republican papers ravenous j for party capital, the commissioner went quietly to work eliminating the frauds, enforcing economies, retrenching ex penses; and instead of the deficit Raum intended of §15,000,000. to be made good by a deficiency bill, there is an unused balance of $25,000,000 to be covered into the treasury, and an estimate of $140, --000,000 for the coming year, a difference of 840.000.000 between tlie two adminis trations.

That this state of affairs does not quite suit railroad companies goes without saying, and very -quietly Indeed they have gathered evidence against all the ticket brokers who are doing business contrary to law. The evidence secured is or a character that makes it practi cally incontrovertible. A gentleman 'whose name is with held, who is in the employ of one of the local road companies, has been busy for several days collecting proofs against all offenders against the law, with a view of a coming prosecution of 'every man who has been selling tickets. It is likely that warrants will be issued ! dur ing the day for the arrest of all offend ers, and the list is said to include every broker in St. Paul. •■<-.... * It is the intention of the railroad companies to push the cases to the 'bit ter end, and the party referred to said last nicht to a.

But both Mr. Butler and Assistant County Attorney Donnelly were engaged in court with the trial of cases, as a result ot which no action was taken yesterday, al thouzh the intention on the part of the prosecutors was to obtain warrants at that time.

Anna Botzen asks for a decree of divorce from her husband, Charles Bot zen, also tire custody of their two-year old son and one-year-old daughter, for alimony, that she be allowed to resume her maiden name, Anna Schl ussier, and be given the possession of the house hold effects. | They were married at ? St.' Paul in 1893. She is twenty -one and he - thirty-four. old. The husband is v accused of habitual drunkenness and with beating his wife. It is particularly stated that tliree months after j their marriage the husband beat his wife be cause she was too ill to go with him to! a beer garden. The allegations are in substance ■as follows: In 1891, he slapped and beat • her, drawing blood, and punched . her in the . eye. . He: beat her four days after the' birth ot their boy because she had not prepared supper for him. At another time he beat her with his fists j and scratched her face with a fork. At j . another time he kicked her. when she was about to give . birth to their daugh ter. In February last he went horde j. about 11 o'clock at night from a drunken j spree, threw her out of bed and kicked j her out of the house, in spite of the in clemency of the weather. When she: attempted to re-enter the house to seek !.' protection from the cold, and so as not to be seen ; naked on the street, he I locked the door against her and left her shivering in the cold. ■"■ He threw a hatchet at her with intent to strike her. This was •'because he was so drunk that he could not distinguish between day and night and wanted his supper with the same promptness in the middle of the niglit as at regular sup per time." Iv June, 1894. about 10 o'clock at night he began a row with her, nulled her out of Ded and kicked and pounded her. When she attempted to escape from his violence she was caught by him in the front room. He put his thumb into her mouth and pressed his Queers . around her neck to , prevent her crying for help.and without '■ mercy beat her and told her to leave the house in the morning. The next even ing he asked her why she had not left the house, and again" maltreated, heat and kicked her so that she was obliged to abandon her home with her children and seek refuge with her parents. She alleges that she was driven from borne without clothing, bed or oedding ; ; she is unable to work for her living because her small children need her constant care, and because of . sickness and physical disability." She is in actual need of the common necessaries of life. The husbaud is a bottler for Schlitz Brewing company, earning $12 per week. The court is asked to compel him to contribute to the support of his wife and children. '?'-'. X 0; HOVE TO VACATE XX^ . Articles of Incorporation of a Lumber 'Company. ' For some years it has been common for companies doing business in Min nesota to incorporate only in some oth er state, aud for companies doing busi ness only in other ! states to incorpo rate in Minnesota. The state authori ties are moving against these meth ods. The case of The State against The Park & Nelson Lumber Company was argued in the supreme court yes terday. This is a Wisconsin company holding Minnesota articles of incorpora tion, and the proceeding is •to vacate the articles. The state alleges that the company pretends to have au office at Bed Wing, but only does business in an office. at Brassi sioii. Wis. The books are. therefore, where they cannot be ex amined by the public examiner of Minnesota. .■■■■"' '■ \ -"'"-• '•? ELECTED OFFICERS. *** Division A" o.l,: A. O. H., at Its Meeting Last Night.

Brutality Practiced In the Evic tion ,of Tenants by Deputy - . Marshals and ' Federal Troops That vala the Crimes of 81 - beria-loaded Into Box Cars Like Cattle. Smith, Ark., June 20. Details of a horrible state of affairs existing in the mining region of the Indian terri tory have been brought to this city by evicted miners, a number of whom ar rived yesterday. The stories_they tell of oppression, hardships and cruelty to themselves, their wives and children by the deputy marshals and federal troops we similar to those which sometimes comes from Siberia. The men say that when it became apparent that they could not earn a living at the reduced rate of wages and starvation was star ing them and their families in the face, j power was given to eject them from the j company's houses.and the work of evic tion began. Many of the men were thrown bodily from their homes, their wives and children beaten and bruised, and their furniture and . personal effects destroyed, after which they were loaded into box cars like cattle and shipped out of the terri : tory. The stories of brutality told from the men from the Hartshorn district are revolting in the extreme. August Smith, one of the Hartshorn miners, says that last Thursday the troops came to his house and arrested him. They would not allow him to put on his shoes and coat, and refused to let the family eat breakfast. The soldiers threw his furniture into a wagon, and then asked Smith's wife if she wanted to go. "No," she said, "1 have worked for this home, and if 1 leave, yon will have to shoot me." "The house was built by me and belonged to me," said Smith, "though 1 had no legal title to it," "The commander ordered the pri vates to put my wife and five children out. They jumped at her. one of them pulling a Knife, and took the baby from her breast. Then four or five took her aud dragged her and threw her head first in the wagon. We were then carted to the station and put in a box car." Dozens ot other similar stories are told. Most of the miners and families were thrown out early in the morning in a driving rain, and no time given them to dress or eat breakfast. In one instance a family of four were evicted near Ai de rson. The wife of the evicted miner was struck over the head with a Win chester and severely maltreated by the soldiers. The woman was enceinte at the time, and while being carted to the railroad station gave premature birth to a dead child. The mother is in a critical condition and may not recover. DEBS' VICTORY. Debs' Re-election as President of the A. K. V. Assured. Chicago, June 20.— The day's ses sions were executive ones, and devoted j to the adoption of the new constitution. The delegates had voted to elect officers in convention, instead of through the directors, but this plan President Debs stoutly opposed. He asserted that un less the decision be reconsidered he would refuse a re-election as president, as the plan gave the presiding officer absolute power, and finally succeeded lv securing an almost unanimous vote for an election by directors. The con vention, after a long debate, altered its action regarding the conduct of elec tions. It decided some days since that all officers shall be elected by the vote of the delegates. President Debs de clared that he would not .be a candidate for re-election unless the officers were elected by and are subject to the board of directors. The matter was arranged as he wished it. This practically "as sures the re-election of Debs to the presidency. OFFICERS CONDEMNED, But a Resolution to Resume Woik Adopted. Columbds, 0., June 20.— The state coal miners' convention, in executive session, adopted a resolution by a two thiids affirmative vole, condemning the national officers for signing a compro mise with conditions, alleging that such authority was not delegated to the na tional officers by the Cleveland conven tion. State President Adams was com mended for not signing the Columbus agreement. The Massillon miners, who were out for differential before the late st tike was ordeted, were encouraged to fight it out. The convention took a recess at noon. Upon reassembling, a resolution to con tinue the strike was voted down, and a substitute resolution to resume work was adopted. It was decided to assess the pick miners 5 per cent and the ma chine miners 2% • per cent on their wages to support the Massillon miners in their strike tor a differential. INDIANA MINES. All of Them Will Soon Be in Op eration. Beazil, June 20.— One of the largest meeting of miners' ever held in the county convened here today to decide whether to accept the Columbus scale and return to work or remain on strike for the old scale. Over 3,000 miners were present, and after much discus sion a vote was taken which resulted in accept ne the scale, providing the op erators would pay extra for the mining of low coal, as they nave done hereto fore. - A miners' committee was sent to the operators to discuss this feature. A prominent operator said that there would be no trouble on this score, as it had always been a custom to pay more for tbe mining of low coal. This, it is believed, settles the long strike here, and in a short time every mine will probably be iv operation. GOGEBIC MINERS. Two Thousand of Them Go Out on - a Strike. leoswood, Mich.. June 20. — Two thousand Gogebic range miners, com prising all the forces at the Norrie. Au rora, Pabst, Newport and East Norrie mines, went out on strike today. The unionists assembled early, marched to tbe mines and persuaded the non-union men to quit work. The steam shovels loading from the stock piles all sus pended operations promptly. The Colby, at Bessemer, is still running with a full force, but efforts will be made to induce the men to join the strike tonight. The mines on the Wisconsin end of the range are all working nearly full forces. The companies declare the mines will remain closed until .: men can be pro cured to goto woik at the old wage*.

HOT SNOT FIRED AT PROTECTION BY J REPUBLICAN. ;; REVISION DO WN WARD WANTED Mr. Conger Points Out That the Republican Party Cannot Win Upon a McKinley Platform— The ' Present Law Full of Wrongs and Inconsistencies— The Recent Panic. Col. A. L. Conger, ex-member of the Republican national committee from Ohio, and one of .the most prominent manufacturers in the middle states, has thrown a bombshell into the ranks of the Republicans of Ohio by denouncing, in the most vigorous English, the Mc- Kinley tariff, sharply criticising Gov. McEinley's administration of state af fairs and pronouncing McKinley unfit for president. ' Col. Conger's choice for the presidency -is Thomas .B. Reed. Some people are so unkind as to suggest that Col. Conger's declaration for Reed I" prompted by his desire to be tb» ( Ma ue statesman's running mate, buy v/uuger says he Is not a candidate for office. Concerning McKinley, Conger says: -" I have no ill feeling toward Gov. Mc- Kiuley. I have always been his friend, and during the past twenty years have contributed more of my time and means to his success than any other man in my city or county. By his administra tion of the affairs of Ohio, however, he has shown himself to be unfitted for the presidency of the United States. The men who have always aided him in his political contests, the friends of years, he has cast aside, and he is now guided and controlled by men whose sole in terest in politics is personal advance ment. They are not the men who are lying awake nights to devise plans for keeping the wheels of their great indus tries running for the ensuing weeks. They are not the men who keep people out of the poorhouse ana tree from suffering. It is well to speak plainly about the matter. McKin ley could hot carry a single state iv the union, upon the McKinley law, in 1896, and I believe that nine tenths of the business men of the coun try will concur with me in the view that the McKinley tariff is not only in consistent, but not in line with the bus iness sentiment of our people. We lost the campaign of 1892 on the McKinley law, and we will lose that of 1896 if that law be the paramount issue. It is un fortunate tor the Re publican party that Gov. McKinley's friends . should have precipitated his candidacy at this time. PROTEST AGAINST WILSON BILL. We were all for him for governor.and his friends have misinterpreted the large majority he received last year. That was a protest against the Wilson bill, not an indorsement of the Mc- Kinley tariff. The business man learns by experience one day and profits by it the next. Why should not politicians? Ido not quite understand what all this political hubbub is about, said Con ger, but the people who are kicking it up are killing off their candidate and making votes for Tom Reed every day. Garfield said in the Republican national convention of 1880, and it has been the law of the party ever since, that every Republican should have the right to criticise the action of our party leaders, and went so far as to say that lie should not be ostracised or read out of his party if for good reasons he could not vote for his party candidate. I nave been educated for a high protectionist, but have been engaged in business in some ot the leading lines of manufacture of the country for a number of years, and during that time have learned some things by experience which have changed my views upon the tariff ques tion. Gov, McKinley is the leader of our party in Ohio. The correspondents sending out the news from our recent state convention said that every plauk in the platform was first submitted to the governor for his approval. They seek to commit the party to the indorse ment of the, McKinley bill for 1596. They also put another plank in the platform straddling the silver question. Of course we can fairly and justly hold the governor responsible for these two propositions as the platform upon which he would stand in 1806. . LOST ON THE M'KINLEY BILL. So. far as the McKinley bill is con cerned, we lost the campaign in 1892 : upon that issue. The Republican party is for protection. The country has prospered under it; but as we have grown older we have needed less pro tection. We meant iv our national platform In ISBO— at least it was the interpretation put upon it by the party —that we had now reached a point in our history when we conld afford to make reductions in the tariff. This was \ sostated by our speakers on the stump [ and by the Republican press; but when we put forth the McKinley bill we vio lated the pledges of the party, increased duties, then went forth to battle upon the proposition, aud were beaten. Now it would simply be political suicide to start out upon that proposition in 1596. We will take, for instance, the subject of binder twine. There are three hun dred millions of capital invested in the manufacture of agricultural implements aud farm machinery In this country, giving employment, directly and indi rectly, to more than 300,000 of America's laboring men. Whatever is good for the American farmer and will advance his interests is good for the interests of the manufacturers of agricultural ma chinery and their employes. Their prosperity must go hand in "hand. Many of the . leading . . manufacturers of agri SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSsM 111 111.

I cultural implements were opposed to a duty on binder twine. : :: : .■■ HAfa so VSTX.WSCE. By request I went before Maj. McKin ley. when he was framing his bill, and asked that no duty be put upon binder twine, and explained to him the reasons why it would be against the interests of the Republican party and the people to put a duty upon it, but tne duty went on. The binder trust was manufactur ing sisal twine, which cost four cents a pound manufactured, and it was being sold to the farmer at 14. 15 and 16 cents, 300 or 400 per cent above its cost. The trust, with perhaps $6,000,000 or $7,000. --000 invested, has been paying dividends on a capital of over $30,000,000. Now. there is not a farmer in the United States, if he understands . his interests, who will vote for any bill which per petrates such an injustice upon him. There is not a -merchant, business man or manufacturer outsid* of the trust in the United States who is interested in perpetrating such an injustice. . Our friends (the enemy) turned this matter against us in the last campaign. ■ •-. - Again, l am interested in manufactur ing In different lines. In looking over the pay rolls we find the wages paid in the agricultural business, giving em ployment to a great army of people, average $2.25 for skilled labor. . We pick up the pay tolls in another industry and find in that line the McKinley bill has raised the duty until it stands at 150 per cent.- The wages for skiilea labor on that roll average five times what they are in the other. Now, I know of in stances where skilled labor averages from $10 to $15 and $20 per day. This is un-American. If the laboring man in the agricultural business wants to build a house he must pay for the material that comes from the other labor uoon a basis five or six times higher than he is getting for his labor, and I am op posed to the kind of protection that dis criminates in this way, and that is what the McKinley bill does. There are sceres of wrongs and incon sistencies in the Dili, and it is all wrong for Gov. McKinley and his friends te commit the Republican . party to a proposition that will lead to sure de feat In 1896. It is not a crime for Re publicans to differ upon . these . proposi tions, and seme one in our state should speak out for the Republican party. Personally, I stand upon the tariff question where the Republican national convention left it in 1888, for revision "downward." Ye have now a popula tion of 65.000,000. and we shall soon have a population of . 100.000,000. The people of this country do not propose to see silver knocked out, and we want tariff reduction as fast as the safety of the business interests will warrant. We want that kind of protection that will deal justly and fairly will all classes of i American labor. I>o NOT WANT TO FOSTER TRUSTS. We do not want protection that will foster trusts. We want the McKinley bill revised upon the lines mapped out by James G. Blame; such a policy as will give us a line of American steam ships from American ports to every country in the world; such a protec tion as will start the wheels of every mine and manufacturing establishment throughout the country. . At present there is something radically wrong when 100,000 miners are out, and business is at a standstill, it is now time for us to look to the future. At present the Re publican party is out, and the Demo crats are in. They have threatened to give us free trade. We want to get back into power, and we want to get in upon a line of policy that wili continue us in success when we do get in. It is not a question of who shall bold the offices, but of statesmanship. - "-'. -...-■. The committee now visiting Washing ton in behalf of different industries all concede reductions . from the McKinley bill. We must now commence to build for the future. The manufacturers. I farmers and laboring men, when they j get to the facts and underlying princi- I pies, will favor revision of the" McKin ley bill. We must not forget that the laws under which we are living today were passed mainly by die Republican party. vVhet her are not these laws are j responsible for the present situation, it ) Is quite likely that the recent panic would have come, even though Presi dent Harrison had been re-elected. Hut from this time forward we should take counsel together," and. our platform in 1806 should be for protection -. to American labor and American indus tries, and upon a line that will do no injustice to any one. In other words, our experience of the past should be our guide for the future. What we want at this time is open, free and fair discussions upon these ques tions. I think Gov. McKinley's friends have made a great mistake in pushing his candidacy at this time and forcing the McKinley bill as an .issue at this early day. It is an embarrassment to our friends in congress, and it will be an embarrassment to every member of congress who runs upon the ticket in our state this fall. I am not 9 candidate for any office. This is a year vrhen a man with any business interests has got to keep his eye on them all the time. 1 think most manufacturers will agree with me thai we can't run our business this year and a political campaign at the same time. I have no political aspirations, except to see the party that 1 have' followed and fought for so long get off thenar row gauge into the broad gauge track. LILLIAN IS HA,.
