America is rapidly depriving Eng
land ofthe manufacturing supremacy
which was once accorded to the older
country. In article after article
American manufacturers have demon
strated their superiority over the
British maker, and the superiority of
American manufacturihs is beginning
to be acknowledged even in England
The Times finds that the number OF
watches manufactured in England is
yearly becoming less and less, and
traces the cause of decline to the use
ofnew ideas and inventions by Ameri-
can worlmen. "In America" the
Times says, "everything is done on a
large scale, while we still stick to the
methods of our forefathers. Here the
different parts of a watch are made in
different shops or different portions of
the country aud trotted about one to
the other. In America a complete
watch is made in one building. One
American house has made sol ,0OO
watches last year, while our total pro-
duction was not more than 175,0O0."
In short time Britain will be able to
boast only Of her superiority in the
manufactures of aristocratic titles and

FOUND THE BONES.
And Now Want to Get Hold OF the
Guilty Party.
An Indiana Murder Find
ing OF a WOman's skeleton Near
Terre Haute, and Subse-
Quent Developments.

ANDERSON, Ind, Nov. ia few weeks
ago the skeleton of an unknown woman was
found in a ravine about four miles west OF
Terre Haute, and for time no one could
imagine who it was A detective from this
town finally took up the case, and soon came
to the conclusion that the murdered woman
for it was evidently case of murder-was
Mrs Susan Nelson. a member Of large and
wealthy family of this county. The
detective also declared that he
could put his hand on the
murderer in short time if fundsiweres sup
piled The development Of the case has Gre
ated great sensation. Street rumors have
connected the name of man undoubtedly
innocent with the preparation of the crime,
and this circumstance makes the murder all
the more atrocious. When Mrs. Nelson left
here, she stated that her destination
was Stella, Neb, where her son resided,
but on the morning of the day she
left she ordered the postmaster to forward all
mail matter to Kansas City. On account Of
some civil suits against her she departed
from Anderson surreptitiously, for fear of
being capiased. She said she was going to
Brazil, Ind, near Terre Haute, in answer to
letter she had received informing her OF
was then going on to Kansas
Mrs. Nelson was woman who could not
be decoyed away except by some one in
whom she had confidence, and the man who
broke in her skull and carried her $50 yards
from the Clinton road, and deposited the
body in the gully where it was found,
and hid an insurance policy found on her
was some one who knew her well and with
oh tol
the murderer was a stranger in ssthe locality,
for had he taken the remains further down
the road to another ravine the bones would
never have been found. The object of the
murder was to secure the $1,000 she was
known to have in her possession. Balm and
Harris, of this city, have identified the in
surance policy as one they wrote up for Mrs.
Nelson the day she left here.
The family of the murdered woman at
first refused to furnish money to prosecute
the case, believing as they did then that they
| would only pay money for the detection OF
| a close relative of the murdered woman
The officers, however, insist that the srs
pected man, whose name is in everybody's
mouth when the murder is mentioned, is
| accused unjustly, and will return here as
soon as it comes to his knowledge that he i:
| charged with the deed. They have another
| man in view, one not suspected, whose sud
| den rise from poverty-stricken state to ont
| of seeming afiuence gives them good cause
| fer trailing him to his hole.
While the Bronnenburg family stands higt
| in the community as wealthy, honorable
square-dealing people, Mrs. Susan Nelson
| their sister, was bad woman, and at ont
time ran house of i'll shape on Main street
| in this city; but this fact does not lessen thu
| indignation and horror at her brutal murder
| for few paltry dollars.

A HERMIT.

Sibley county has genuine hermit.
Of it the Henderson Independent
says: "Some of the men who years
ago dictated who should and who
should not hold office in Sibley county
will perhaps be little surprised to
learn that this hermit is no less an
individual than Mr.. Edmund Neff,
whom they caused at one time to be
appointed superintendent Of schools,
to be elected county surveyor and
county attorney. Mr.. Neff now lives
alone in a little hut in the woods.
His mansion contains not single
chair, stool Or box to sit upon. Some
old blankets, black with dirt and to-
bacco juice, lying in the corner indi-
cate where his bed is located. He
has ceased to take any interest in
public fairs. He scarcely knows who
are the county officers. He inquired
the other day who was running for
office. He said he knew Riebe when
he lived in Glencoe, bnt never heard
that he had left there. A gentleman
took him some papers the other day
thinking he would like to know what
was going on in the world, but he re-
fused to take them, saying he did not
wish to know what was in them.
Mr.. Nef no doubt, looks upon his old
friends and patrons with dignified
contempt.

REVRENCHMENT.

The celebration of tie opening of the
Northern Pacific railroad, cost too
much. 1t seemed proper that so
great and important an enterprise
should be formally opened with pomp
and ceremony, and all looked on with
pride when a short time ago Nillard's
imported procession moved from point
to point, but had everybody known
the real condition Of the roads tlnan-
ces. ali would have Joined in saying
that a more modest ado would have
baan more in accordance with the gen
eral fitness of things. There were
those who censured President Willard
at the time, intimating that all the
cavalcade Of oriental splendor which
swept along the course of the Northern
Pacific was more to crafty his loYe +
glory than to impart any lasting bene-
fir to the road, hut now that the noh-
ey SO lavishly expended is to be re-
gained DIV the most vigorous and hurt
ful means of retrenchment, the en-
travaeance of Mr.. Willard in the epen-
ing OF the road, as we'll as in other
things, is being condemned in the
most vigorous terms.
The plan of retrenchment being in
aururatcd of course does not affect Ill
any way the salaries of those leisure
" reclining in New York office chairs,
hut falls upon those who DO the rea
n,r,i work of the company-those least
able to bear it. y short time ago Il
large force was discarged from the
company's shops at Brainerd, only to
lie followed by the discharge OF five
hundred more on Wednesday. On
the same day four hundred ANT sixty
men were discharged from the shops
At Bismarck. No one knows how
many others have been or are to oe
discharged elsewhere along the line
The men have worked faithfully anO
reports say there is plenty OF work II
the shops to keep all busy, but retrench'
meat would not lie retrenchment un
less it began among the the men who
work the hardest, the longest and who
are the least able to bear it. Wintel
is at hand with its unfriendly grip IL
this northern cline and many, mos
we may say, of these discharged mel
have not money enough saved over tt
move their families or themselves II
the next town. Retrenchment mus
be enforced, however, even though
thousand families suffer, so long as re
trenchment does not encroach upol
the fat-salaried officers down in New
York. Gen. Haupt, the general man
ager, has resigned, prefering to do this
rather than carry out the orders fol
this kind Of retrenchment. Vice
President Cakes, however, takes VI
the work and the plan of retrench
ment goes OIL. Laborers are being
discharged and the wages of those re
naming is being cut down. They art
learning now how great the expense
is of that grand opening they took So
much pride lin. The welfare Of any
but the monied mandates in contro
has but little to do with the manage
ment of Northern Pacific.

A Missing Lake Captain,

CHICAGO, Nov. 13.-Capt. Mcbride, Of the
steambarge Milwaukee, has been missing
since Wednesday evening and no trace of him
has yet been found The Milwaukee put
into port Wednesday night to have some re-
pairs made, and Mcbride left the vessel,
telling his mate that he purposed seeing
whether he could get the vessel into a dry
dock that night. Since then he has not been
seen. He had about $500 on his person and
foul dealing is feared. He was a sober,
steady man, who never gambled, and the
idea that he has defaulted is not entertained
for moment by his friends.

Railroad Economy-No. Z.

The General Freight Agent, in the ma
Jority of eases, has never been accus-
toned to the purchase or sale, or custody
of merchandise, and is consequently de
fcient in that knowledge which is only
attained by contact with and handling
the freight. More than this, he is, in
most cases, unacquainted with the course
and character of the traffic upon which
he is to impose toll.
am presuming now, that this agent
is honestly disposed to do that which
seems fair to both parties. But how is
it with one of elastic conscience, when
clothed with power to make any con-
tract he pleases-what private and per-
sonal considerations move him, when
brought in contact with large and rich
shippers, who are 'as willing to pay
for favors as he is to receive. How is
it, and why is it, that large shippers
have, in these days of Generalization,
adopted the novel plan of selling their
goods at an agreed price, deliverable at
the station of the purchaser; would he
do so, as a rule, with all its attendant
risks and delays, unless he derived some
consideration for it? What means this
not uncommon system of commissions
and rebates allowed to shippers? How
is it that the small dealer frequently
pays "a higher rate than his weather
neighbor? or what chance has the poor
man to successfully compete with those
of larger means?
i The roads were chartered for the mu
tual benefit of the companies that built
them, and the people of the States
through which they pass, and it is tht
duty of the State to see that its citizens
derive their Just share of the benefit.
Let the Railroad companies know tina
there is a power in the State to protec
the humblest citizen. Let the manager
know that they must conduct their bust
ness upon principles of economy as wei
as equity, and that all are entitled t
equal advantages and facilities, that al
exorbitant rates and unfair discrimin
, ations are not only unjust, but illegal

The highest rates Of duty before the
civil war were levied in 1880, and the
lowest in 1861. In 1868 the rates were
higher even than in that trying and dan
gerous year, 1880, in which duties were
levied under law passed in 1928, which
led to the notification movement in
South Carolina and was finally rescinded
by Mr., Clay's compromise tariff of 1882.
Before the passage of the tariff law,
which was enacted to meet the expenses
of the war of 1912, our rates of duty had
been moderate, but in July, 1872, the
rates bounded up under the war pressure
as suddenly as they afterward did in
1861. After peace was restored the rates
in 1916 were reduced. But they were
again increased in 1924 by law against
which Daniel Webster expended in vain
the earliest and ablest efforts of his rea-
son and his eloquence. This movement
came to climax in 1928, and in 1880
our rates yielded 80 per cent. on all du-
table articles. Mr.. Clay's "compro-
miss" tariff followed. The Presiden-
tiaI election of 1910 was fought on the
tariff question as well ~ on the bank
question, and the Wings won q victory
which cost them dearly. President Har-
rison died shortly after his inauguration,
) and the veto of his successor, President
Tyler, broke down the bank scheme of
the Wings. The Wings, however, sue
ceeded in passing the protective tariff OF
; 1912, known as "the black tariff" by
which they restored many of the rates
Of 1924 and 1923. The distress caused
: by this tariff led in 1914 to the Demo
cratic victory of Mr.. Polk over Mr.. Clay
; and to the enactment of Robert J
: Walkers free-trade tarihfof 1916, which
; modified by reduced rates under Mr.
Guthrie in 1857, remained in force dur
; ing sixteen years, with the result Of i'm
, mensely increasing the industry ane
! commerce Of the country. Never hat
the United States been so prosperous n
when TIE civil war of 1861 came upol

. cratic Congressman have ever read Sec

The Story of the Tariff.

Everybody is now beginning to see
that the tariff is matter which comes
home to the business and bosom of every
man, woman and child in the country.
1t is everybody's business, for it meets
us all in the prices of everything that
men wear or eat or drink or use in any
way whatever. 1t concerns us all, there
fore, to know the history of tariff legis-
lation in our own country, and the
World accordingly lays before its read
ersa table prepared in the Treasury De
partment Of the rates of duty levied in
this country at different epochs during
the last half century. The first column
shows the average rate of ad valorem
duty which would have fallen on inn
ported goods if all such goods without
exception arriving here had been made
dutiable The second column gives the
average rate of nd valorem duty (com.
puted on the foreign values) which
would have been levied on all dutiable
goods Excluding goods on the free list
if the rates had all been ad valorem rates
