Review of the Local Grain, Produce, and
Provision Markets

Provision Markets.
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. %.
While there is q better tone trade, a tame
ness still broods over the general merchandise
markets, and what is to be the volume of the
II trade and what its peculiarties are now the
practical questions with business men. The con-
ditions are not radically different from those of
last year at this time. The surface changes
have been mostly favorable. Those crops which
give us our greatest import ance IN the commerce
of the world-wheat and cotton-promise less
than last year, bur will partly compensate for
the deficit ny higher pricrs. By as much IA the
process of liquidation has advanced, the situa-
VoD has improved ma the doubt whether it is

In July, 1879, iron was quoted at $40
a ton; in February, 1880, pig iron was
$40a ton, and In April following 1t
rated at $34. Now, did the tariff cause
the advance to $40, or the decline to $34,
all within three months? Let prOtec-
tionists explain these things.
The enormous war tariff in 1873 did
not prevent the ruin to the iron and
other protected industries. The terrible
stagnatiOn and starvation period that
followed lasted for years, and was all
under the monopoly prOtsetiVe tariff.
Why will not people think OF this?

MAHONE's DEFEAT.
His Imitators in Other states should Take
Warming.

his AAnlLaJOrs IN OJher States SnOulu Ihke
Warming.
WASHINGTON, May 30.-The local cleo
tiOns in Virginia show clearly that Boss
Malone has lost his grip. A reaction
has begun which will render him pow
erless as political factor. The admin
istratiOn made bad bargain when it
dickered with this adventuTer and his
following of RepudiatOrs.
Temporary success blinded the Repub-
lican leaders to the certain consequent
ces of a corrupt coalition. They must
realize how costly was an experiment
that has alienated the confidence of
thousands of conservative men who
stood by the party in all Its perils, and
often with straining of conscience.
The RepudiatOrs find comfort in their
defeat at having beaten MIR. DeZendOrf.
a staunch Republican, for Treasurer In
Norfolk. That victory is the last thing
they should boast of, because il was no.
tOriOusly procured by an open prOstitu-
tiOn of Federal patronage, and by fla
grant violation Of the civil service act,
and Of the rules recently issued by the
President.
Another effect of this election will be
to close the doors of the National Re-
publican Convention against Malone.
He expected to go there with a delega-
tiOn, and make his own terms for ad-
mission. The negroes whom he misled
will now desert him, and the original
Republicans, who were prescribed by
the bargain and sale, will be reinforced
by these deseTters, and become stronger
than they were at first.
The imitatOrs of Malone in other
states who were led to follow his exam
pie by the expectation of office and by
the promise of reward, will find their
business sadly fallen off, for il nothing
succeeds like success, so nothing fails
like failure. Malone has four years in
the Senate as his remaining capital,
and he will make the most of 1t. Rid
dleberger has six years before him, and.
like Number 0ne," he knows how to
take care of himself. He epitOmized his
politics and his principles in saying:

Arthur is for u.s."

SENATOR M'DoNALD's VIEWS.
INpIANAPOLIs, Nav %, 1888.

INDIANAPOLIS, May %, 1888.
JOSEPH PULITZER, EsQ.-MY DEAR SIR:
I earnestly desire to see you successful
in your new enterprise, and am conf
dent that the energy, enterprise and
ability you have displayed in the other
fields Of journalism will command sue
cess in this larger field to which you
have extended our labOrs.
With US this is the off year; we have
no elections Of any kind this fall, and
there is absolutely no political agitation
In our State, except such as arises from
being interested spectators of the pOliti-
cal conflicts in other States. l feel a
strong conviction that the political tides
which set in in favor Of the Democratic
party last year will continue until the
party shall be tTiumphantly successful
at the next Presidential election.
The tariff issue connected with the
general subject of revenue reform will
necessarily be an important question
in all future political contests until 1t
Is settled upon the doctrines of the con-
stitutiOn and the principles Of sound po-
litical economy.
We may be some time reaching a sOlu-
tiOn of the question, but as the public
mind comes to be enlightened it will
not be satisfied with any tariff that has
not for its leading purpose the raising
of revenue for the Government; nor with
the details OF any tariff law in which
the duties laid upon foreign merchan-
disc shall be above revenue point.
With my best wishes for your success
and also for the success of the cause we
both so earnestly support, | am, truly
yours, j. E. MCDONALD.

THE PRICE OF WOOL.

Some weeks ago the Journal published
an interview with Mr.. Clark, the we'll
known wool dealer of this city, to the
effect that the tariff would make no diff
ference in the price of wool. 1t is now
understood that his price for it is 80 cts.
per pound, a reduction of cents. To
make this state of affairs appear cOnsis-
tent with the former interview, 1t is un-
derstoOd that he states there is glut in
the market, and that no wool is being
imported. We have before us the Tex
tile Record, the wool dealers authority.
1t says the clip of the present year will
be in excess of last years by about 12-
100000 pounds, and will aggregate 800
100000. 1t further states that the week
ly consumption by wooden mills is Z
100000 pounds; that there was imported
in February 100000, and that the def
cheney will compel an importation Of 90

gLOwERY WORDS
From the Lips of MerriolS in His Star Route
Argument.

WASHINGTON, May 31.-Merrick con-
tinued his address in the Star Route case
today, and llled the attention of the
jury to the loss sustained by the Govern
ment by the Brady system of increase
and expedition. There was, ne said, the
Mineral Park-PiOche routes, beginning
with the contract price of 1882, and
increasing to $52 033 per annum. How
they gTeWl AT morn, a bud; at noon,
under the favOring dews of expedition,
and the fraudulent kiss of its son, Brady,
a full blown rose. The route from White
River to Rawlins was an instance of the
small amount of attention Brady paid
to petitions he now holds up as a shield
against the lance of justice. There
was not petition, a letter, or even the
scTape Of the pen that asked for the fast
schedule ordered by Brady, unless 1t was
the contractors affidavit. If the Jury
found that the contractors had made
these aflidavits by perjury for the benefit
of one another, then conspiracy was
made out, crime was proved. Instead
of tasting the waters afar down, where
they flowed between the green banks,
he had taken them to the very fountain
and showed the very poison in that fOun-
tain. If it was not there then the Gov
eTnment surrendered the case. If 1t
was there, then in the name of the peO-
pie of the United States, he demanded
that TetributiOn be visited upon the
men who poisoned the fountain. These
defendants were bold, INSCRIPTIONS
men, who had attempted to brOwbeat
the court, the jury and the counsel
from the beginning of the first trial
down to this time.
MerTick charged John w. Dorsey with
perjury on the stand. He had devised
and cOncOcted the whole narrative. He
was a man willing to commit perjury,
stimulated by heart blackened with
crime. ReTdell lowered above such a
man. He would make his perjury so
plain to the jury that they would see it
on their walls at night when they blew
out the candles. In support of his as
sertion Merrick placed the testimony of
John Dorsey and Rerdell in contrast,
and supplemented 1t by other we'll ap-
piled bits of evidence. See said he, how
they strained at gnat, yet swallowed
camels of perjury. In angry despair
they sought to substitute sOphistry for
logic. When a defendant like John Dor
sey lied on the stand, it was from being
conscious of guilt; he lied with hope
to escape conviction by perjury. Ad-
jOuTned.

Radford Properly Found Guilty of Murder
in the First Degree.
FREMONT, May 31.-At O'Clock this
afternoon it was announced that the
long agony was over, and that the jury
in the RadfOrd case was ready to return
its verdict. The prisoner was soon after
brought into court, and the jury entered
They looked pale and very much eX-
hausted with their narrowing expert
ences of fOrty-six hOursi in close cOnfine-
ment, without sleep for one night and
very little during the next, which they
spent In the court room on the floor and
benches. Their verdict is murder In the
first degree, and John RadfOTd must
swing. All the twelve, at the request
of RadfOrd's counsel, were then pOlled
each man answering separately that
that was his verdict,
RadfOrd remained perfectly impassiYe
and unchanged in color. He said moth
ing, put on his hat with bravadO air as
he reached the door with the Sheriff, and
was conducted back to Jail. This morn
ing he was playing cards with the other
criminals in one of the stone corridors
of the jail, to all appearances as little
concerned as to the probable return OF
the jury, and the fate in store for him
as were his fellow inmates.
1t ts now known that on the first bal
lot the jury stood ten for conviction OF
murder in the first degree, and two for
murder in the second degree. Upon tax
ing the second ballot, five minutes after
one of the two went with the majority
Standing eleven to one they remained

THE CoLLINsVILLE RIOT.
The Offending Miners ArraIgned-VerdIct
in Henderson's Case.


ST. LOUIS, May 31.-Of the fifty-One
miners indicted at Edwardsville, ILL, for
participation in the riot at the Abbey
and other mines at and near Collins
vile, last week, thirty-fOur of them
were arrested to-day, and arraigned in
court. All pleaded guilty, and were
fined $25 and costs, but stay OF the ex-
ecutiOn was granted during good behav-
iOr.
The cOroner's jury, holding an inquest
at Bellville on Henderson, the miner
killed the other day, concluded their Ia
bOrs this evening, and returned a long,
rambling verdict, stating that it was
impossible to determine from the evil
dence taken whether the militia or the
the miners fired first, but declaring that
the miners were assembled in force at
the Reinecke mins; that Henderson was
shot by the militia, and that the shoot
ing was MOI justifiable.
