having no foundation the PROPOSE
ton that they (Indians) have COM

white settlers in the vicinity Of

named in the above petition.
The Indians bring annually to
.Brainerd, from six to ten thous-
and dollars, and the only complaint
that could reasonably be made
against them is that they get all
the whiskey they want, and this
results in the trouble which is
caused to men who are arrested
for selling it to them.
In relation to the petition,
agent I. j. Sheehan states that
the interior department has long
since issued orders to him, such as
are asked for BY the Brainerd peo-
pie, and while he had done all in
his power to keep the Indians un.
der his charge on their reserva-
tions, he found it both impossible
and imprac cticable to do so.
Apropos Of this, we wish to say
that Indians haue rights which

counterfeiters Arrested in Denver

DENVER, Aug 22.-The arrest yester-
day at the point OF a pistol of the counter
feiters unearths one of the biggest sensa.
tons developed here for many years, and
illustrates a scheme managed by counter
feiters in Chicago, Denver, Santa Fe, San
Francisco, and it is believed In the City of
Mexico.
The three men arrested arrived in the
city in the morning, one coming from
Santa Fe, one from Chicago, one from
further East. For two weeks the United
States secret service officers have been
aware that counterfeiters were at work in
New Mexico and would soon spring n
mine which was to food both the United
States and Mexico with bogus s., $40 and
500 gold" pieces. The deputy district
attorney, named Cage, was sent out to in
vestigate and succeeded in joining the
counterfeiters.
The report shows that the band consists
of residents of Chicago, New York and
other cities. The counterfeiters were to
manufacture some good coins as ''feelers, y
after which the bogus stuff was tn be
made of chemical material warranted to
wear for a year and sold 20 customers a.
the rate of 81 200 for twenty four pounds.
The preparation of which the coins were
to be manufactured had a large per cent
age of gold. Manuel Lenaire, the lead
err OF the gang, arrived here at noon and
registered at the Windsor, where he was
met by two ~acconplices. While discus
sing the prospects Cage, who was in a
room, gave a signal and officers with drawn
revolvers walked in and captured the men.
Considerable material, including a perfect
die and some of the money was captured.
Some Of the money is pure gold, and when
tested at the mint was pronounced good.
Other arrests will probably follow.

question of the importation of Chinese
labor into this country, What | think
upon this subject cannot be better ex-
pressed than by reading what I said to my
constituents in Cincinnati in 1870 five
years before the legislature of California

Chinese immigration. 1.-THE extract from
Judge Thurman's speech delivered Sept.
10. 1870, was then read. Those, my
friends, were my opinions eighteen years

A Significant Political Fact

There is less aerimOny and bitterness
in the present campaign than there
has been for twenty-five years.
Why?
Because there is real question upon
which the people can divide without
calling each other traitors, scoundrels
and horse-thieves.
The question concerns the reduction
of unnecessary taxation, and what
method of reduction will benefit the
greatest number of people.
What party presented the question
to the intelligent consideration of the
voters?
The Democratic party; and the Re.
publican organization has become a
party of obstruction and negation. It
admits the burning Importance of rev.
enue reform, but formulates no prac-
teal method of bringing it about.
1t merely negatives and runs counter
to the well-considered and well-ma-
tured Democratic plan. It's platform
declares for free whisky and free to-
bacco, sooner than reduce the tariff on
the necessaries of life.
There is only one side to the argu-
ment in this campaign. and that is the
Democratic side.
There will only be one side to the re-
suit, and that will be the Democratic
side.
And the country will go on prosper
ing as it has for the past three years.

THOUSANDS HOMELESS.

A Fact That Spe eaks Volumes In Favor
of Tariff Reform.
Here is a fact worth attention from
those who want to know how a high
tariff works. 1t is fact that speaks
decisively of the tendency of high pro-
lection.
From 1850 to 1860 was time of low
tariffs. From 1860 to the present time
has been one era of high tariffs.
Well, from 1850 to 1860 the number
of families increased from 1888, 24O to
5,21O,934. The number of separate
dwellings or homes in 1860 was 4, $685.
692, SO that in that year, after long
low tariff period, there were PAL, 242
families in all the land without sepa-
rate homes.
Then came the era of high tariffs.
In 1870 the number of families with
out homes had increased to $50, $40,
an increase of 123 per cent. in ten
years.
Ten years later still under a high
tariff in 1880 there were 900, 108 home
less families in the United States. So
the increase in twenty years of high
protection has been from PAL. 242 to
99Q, 1OS, or something more than 200
per cent
Here is something worth serious
thought As direct result of the
tariff policy the Republican party pro-
poses to maintain, the class of home
less people among our population
doubles in number every ten years.
What is the natural inference? Why,
that the rich are growing richer and
the poor poorer all the pfile. Mill
ionaires increase, there are colossal
fortunes here and there. gorgeous pal
aces multiply, but the number of hum
BILE homes are decreasing every year.
The tariff policy of the Republican
party is enriching the few and impov-
erishing the many.
Look around you, working-men! Is
this not the truth p Cleveland Plain
Dealer.

Feeding Pigs.

Prof. T. Hunt, of the Illinois College
Farm, concludes as follows In summing
up the results of his experiments in
feeding pigs:
1. It required 1880 pounds of skim
milk to produce one pound Of pork
when fed with cornmeai in ratio IL
to fattening hogs.
2. Skim milk could not be econom-
ically fed to fattening hogs unless it
was waste product which could not be
otherwise utilized.
8. 1t required on an average Al
pounds of shelled corn to produce one
pound OF pork during an average
period of four weeks, or one bushel
produced 134 pounds.
4. 1t required Al pounds of corn
meal to produce one pound Of pork, or
one bushel of corn made into meal and
fed dry produced 123 pounds Of pork.
5. When fed dry, shell corn is moro
economical than cornmeal to feed to
fattening hogs.
6. 1t required u pounds, or one-
fourth bushel of ground oats to pro-
duce one pound Of pork, when fed with
equal parts by weight Of cornmeaL
Z. One bushel OF corn Is worth near
" three bushels of oats as food for tat
tening hogs.
8. Corn-fed pigs gained about q
pounds per week. and ate about q
pounds of corn per 100 pounds OF live
weight.
9. The gain for the amount OF food
consumed during the fattening.
10. Pork was produced during the
cold weather, with corn at 20 cents
oer bushel, for less than 5 cents Fer
pound.
ii. An insufficient food supply for
two weeks caused q very considerable
loss in feeding thereafter.
y II. Indian corn Is the most econo-
mical pork-producing material during
the winter months in regions where
extensively grown. = Farnaers' HoDss

This is by far the most significant
single event in the campaign in Min

Unable to recommend a reduc-
ton of taxes and unwilling to advise
reckless expenditures, General Har-
rison seems to be casting frantically
about for some other method of re-
moving the troublesome surplus. and
in doing so he founders into very deep
and dangerous waters. The only solid
and safe ground to take is to demand
that the surplus be removed by re-
moving it's cause-excessive taxation.
Any method short of this is as a tenn
porary device risky, and as a perma-
nent policy inexcusable.-Prov

THE RIVER.
A Reverie.

a HoYef1es
The Wild bird sings to charm me, while the
summer breeze is blowing,
And I'm sitting by the rivers bank alone,
The sunbeam dances gayly on the water that In
flowing,
And I'm thinking of lifetime that is gone.
How my memry is awakened, and my thoughts
are set a-dreaming,
As think of that river and its source:
How see my life depicted in the water that fs
streaming,
And its sorrows in the windings of its course!
For life Is but river
With its current gliding ever,
And its course runs smoothly never
As long years have shown to me,
Our cares and trials binding
Are but the rivers winding.
AND many are the falls between ITS fountain
and the sea.
TIM thinking of the friends I've known, as I see
the air bells breaking,
Bright emblems OF true purity they seem
But soon, tho sprung up side by side, each
other they're forsaking.
And. widely scattered, vanish on the stream
Alas. how like those air-bells pure are friends
once eearly cherished,
Rear'd side by side in early happy years
Where are they now. those friends of YOUTH
They one by one have perished,
And the only tokens left of them are tears
For life is but a river,
With its current gliding ever
And its course runs smoothly never
AS long years have shown to me
Though time commands its motion
From fountain head to ocean,
Vicissitudes beset its path in flowing to the sea.
Tn thinking of the wealth I've seen as see
the pebbles lying,
frightened by the river in its flow;
They resist the stream that woes them and de-
spite its undermining,
They're clinging to the gravel bed below.
Alas! how like these pebbles bright are treas
ures I've been wooing,
And like the stream have tried to seize away
How fruitless have my efforts been, how Fate
has kept undoing
The struggles of a long and weary dayi
For life is but river,
With its current gliding ever,
And its course runs smoothly never,
As long years have shown to me.
For down its channel moving,
Fierce hate keeps pace with loving,
So varied are the waits it floats In flowing to
the sea-
I'm thinking of my gray -hair'd age, as 1 see the
white foam sailing,
In snowy atoms down the stream it creeps,
Till. gathered the peaceful pool, the lively
current failing.
United in shroud-there rests and sleeps.
-Alasi how like that snow-white foam. my silv'ry
locks are floating,
Nor pause they while lfes troubled waters
wave,
But with hoarv diadem. they crown me. when
I'm doating,
On the brink of life'speaceful pool-the grave.
For life is but river
With Its current gliding ever,
And its course runs smoothly never,
AS long years have shown to me.
Eow gladly now I'm creeping
To where the foam lies sleeping,
The grave-that pool between US and Eternity
the sea.
Good Words
