record made at Washington by Cleye-
land. The American workingman begins
to see that the Democratic party in
tends to cut his wages in two; he sees
that the workingman OF free trade
countries come to this country, and he
knows they are coming here because
they can get larger wages under Protec-
ton. His eyes are open; he Is going to
fight for his own home and his own in
terests this year, and the line has been
squarely drawn. If he goes with the
Democratic party he goes for free trade
and the reduction Of wages; il he, goes
with the Republican party he helps to
continue protection and high wages.
This will give the party 100000 new
votes this year in the necessary states.
The million OF new voters among the
yonng men, too, who have American
pride and who want to retain American
homes to America, will very generally
give the Republican party their support,
and this is another assurance OF success"

What brooklyn Republicans Say About
Seth Lows Bolt.

/ "HAh bEuohANh S-'s
Seth Lows Bolt.
BROOKLYN, June 29.-Ex-Mayor Seth
Lows bolt from the Chicago nomina-
tions was not a surprise to the Republi-
cans of Brooklyn, who saw symptoms Of
his disgruntled feelings in a recent
speech at the Lincoln dinner, and even
in September last at the Republican
State Convention.
His free trade leanings have long been
known, for Mr.. Low is an importer, and
his private interests are certainly not in
the line OF protective duties.
The Democratic view OF the effect OF
Lows detection may be summed up in
the opinion OF Patrick Hayes, OF the
City Auditors office, who said that Seth
Low would be ranked with DR.. Burch-
ard for the mischief he would cause in
the party by pretending to remain in
the ranks and supporting the State
ticket while at the same time he con-
demned its national candidates.
This is the way Brooklyn Republicans
talked about Mr.. Lows action yesterday
in answer to the questions OF reporters:
Ex-Supervisor Ernest Nathan, who
had Just got back from Chicago, where
he went with the delegates, said: "rhe
effect OF Mr.. Lows bolt will be to help
the National Republican ticket i'm
mensely. His declaration that he goes
over to the Democratic party because OF
its free trade tendencies is worth thous-
ands OF votes to us. We want to make
the fight just on that line-frec trade
and protection. The wOrkingmen OF
this country are protectionists."
Samuel Maddox, jr,, formerly member
OF the Republican State Committee,
said: 81 have been so long opposed to
Seth Low and had so little faith in him
that his name makes me tired. bolted
against him year ago, and don't sup
pose shall ever do otherwise. We shall
gain, not lose, votes by his course. He
is no good-too small man TO bother
about"
Captain Harry Phillips said: $50 he
has done it at last Why didn't he SO
before? He was a Cleveland man at the
last election or We should have elected
Blaine. | have no stock in that class OF
wishy-washy politicians. When man
goes straight overheard that's all right.
But this lopsidedness-pshaww
Commissioner OF Elections Cotton
said: "Well, Well! But what else could
anybody expect from Seth Low? He
has been for years on the fence"
William Wells said: '"The Republi-
can party is better OF without ex.Mayor
Low. Where is the use in shllly-shally-
ing with such material ?"
DR.. John Little said: "He's great
boy. don't find any fault. Keep it
booming. Seth Low, you know, was
always a mugwump, so that he keeps on
wumping. That's ALL"
Fred Cohen said: "Always q trim
mer. l never had any faith in the iel,

wouldn't for any position, not even con-
stable. He is not worthy OF it. He

REVIEW OF TRADE.

Dun s Co.'s WoOkly Revlew-Iron and
Wool Markets.
New York, June OR. G. Dun &
Co., in their weekly review, say: The
half year closes in volume Of business,
at this date, about ten per cent smaller
than that OF last year, but larger than
that OF the previous year. The general
complaint that business is dull
means that the reaction from the
greater activity OF a year ago and
the confident expectations OF last win
ter is keenly felt. To very many traders
who bought largely in their oyer.con.
iidence the shrinkage brings serious
losses or actual embarrassment, and TO
this cause is mainly due the increase
noted during recent months In the
number OF failures. For the past quar-.
ter the failures number 2,24l in the
United States against 1905 for the same
quarter last year, and in Canada 3I3
against 3l5. In the amount of liabilities
there is also an increase in the United
States, but a decrease in Canada.
Prices have declined n little more dur
ing the past week, but show at the close
some recovery. Wheat is but quarter
lower than a week ago. Corn is b cent
lower, and oats cent higher. Fraction
al gains appear in lard and coffee, while
cotton has weakened an eighth, and
spectators for a rise have been hastily
unloading.
Oil is about a cent lower. Bar iron
has had a iirmer feeling, and better
prices are realized for Bessemer pig ut
Pittsburgh, but other quotations do not
improve. No. ! foundry has been sold
for less than SIS at Philadelphia and
steel rails are unchanged. Wool remains
dull for the season and manufacturers
show no signs OF recovery,

His Manly and Patriotic Letter
to a Ratification Meeting
In THE CITY OF WASHINGTON
Endorsing tho Nomination and Show
ing That He Is Heart and Soul for
Harrison, Morton and Protcc-
tIon-A Grand Meeting.

| EPNNtAA OtAPaAtN ~ hts AtAtAastttNtFs
WASHINGTON, June 19.-Thousands ol
people stood in the rain tonight in
Thomas Circle to hear speeches about
Harrison, Morton and protection. The
Republican League headquarters were
brilliantly decorated by electric lights,
lanterns and five hundred handsome
ladies. A strong band added its chords
to the cheers OF the multitude. 1t was
significant that orators from Indiana,
New York, Connecticut and New Jer-
sey did the talking.
Mr.. Johnson, the soldier member
from Indiana, and Harrison's intimate
friend, made a significant haranguc,
which caught the crowd by its immense
virility and pungency.
SENATOR HAwLEY,
who has been called weak on the pro-
lection doctrine, astonished every body
by declaring his belief in the feasibility
and wisdom OF absolute insularity in
matters affecting American skill and
labor. He said our overaowis only ten per
cent, and argued most persuasively that
the absolute prohibition Of importation
OF articles produced by American skill
would result in no ultimate or perma-
nently injurious overproduction.
Judge Buchanan, member from the
Trenton district, gave the meeting some
STRAIGHT TARIFF TALK,
and spoke in n hopeful strain Of the
prospects Of the Republican ticketin New
Jersey. A great deal OF fuss was made
over all the speakers, and the regret
seemed to be that SO magnificent meet
ing, reused up and appreciative as it
was, should have to 90 two hundred,
five hundred or thousand miles to vote
its sentiments.

which We are engaged. The battle
will be for principle, not men protec-
ton to American labor and security for

future time, have an opportunity to ex-
press more at length my earnest desire
ior the success OF the Republican party,
and confidence in its triumph over

is reproach to the patriotism OF our
country. Very truly yours,

Which Is Killing on all the Hogs In LouI-
Siann.
NEw ORLEANS, June 2O.-Some weeks
ago species of consumption broke out
among the hogs in st. Tammany and
ncighboring parishes of the State. Tho
disease became so severe that in some
sections not n hog was left within n
radius of twenty miles. They ate raven
ously, but wasted away until they wcro
unable to stand and died Of their ex-
haustion produced apparently by tubcri-
cilous. Some time aiterward another or
the same disease under a different form
broke out among the cattle in the same
neighborhood. The animals were at-
tackled by local swellings, paralysis and
staggers, ending in death. There was
some difference OF opinion as 10 the
cause OF this disease, but the farmers
who have investigated the matter have
come to the conclusion that the cattle
were made sick by the bites OF insects
that fed upon the carcasses of dead hogs.
Wherever they bit the cattle's swelling
was raised and local poison soon deveo
loped, which communicated to different
portions OF the bodies OF the animals.

gallery up to the furthest extremity ol
the stage with Republicans who had as

The presiding officer Of the evening

to Harrison as patriot and u
statesman, and referred to his SER

OF Levi p. Morton, the candidate for

house OF which he was the head had
largely aided in the resumption Of
specie payment and the funding OF the
public debt. He evoked applause by
his reference to Mr.. Morton's aid in
