FRIENDLY FARMERS
Visit General Harrison and SHOW Their
Appreciation
OF the Home Market Which Consumes
95 Per Cent of Their Productions

| ISDIASAPoLIs, Sept. 2l.
Gen. Harrison received two delegations
today, one from Winchester and the other
from towns in Randolph Co., Ind, composed
largely of farmers who came on two special
trains, forty coaches. They numbered over
$500. Among their several political organi-
cations were l25 Tipp2canoe veterans, also
Lincoln league club of 200. At the head of
tie column marched VIM. Montgomery their
oldest Tippecanoe veteran, aged s9.
Five bandNecompanied them. The Sec
ond delegation came from Dayton, Ohio,
and numbered $50 i GLIDING 53 veterans of
| 1910, escorted by fine band. Gen. Harri-
son received the delegations Jointly at Uni
rersity Park. Gen. Stone of Randolph couu-
ty and Col. John G. Low of Dayscn were the
spokesmen in behalf of the visitors. Gen.
Harrison was looking unusually well and
spoke with great animation. La the course
of his remarks Gen. Harrison said: You do
not forget, farmers though you are, that 95
per cent. of the product of your farms is
consumed at home and you are too wise to
putt that in peril in the greedy
search after foreign trade. Applause.
You will not sacrifice these great industries
that have created in our country the con-
sumhg class Tor your product. Applause
| do not think there is any doubt what tariff
policy England would wish US to adopt, yet
some say that England is trembling lest we
should adopt free trade here, Daughter and
so rob her of other markets that she now
enjoys. Laughter. The story of our
colonial days when England with insatiate
avarice laid her repressing hand upon our
infant manufactures and attempted to sup
press them, all furnishes the first object les
sou she gave US. Another was given when
the life of this nation, child of England, as
she had been wont to call us, speaking the
mother tongue and having many institutions
Inherited from her was imperilled. The
offer of free trade by the confederacy so
touched the commercial greed of England
that che forgot the ties of blood and went to
the verge OF war with us to advance the
cause of the rebel government. Applause.
But what England wants or what any other
country wants is not very important, GER
tainly not conclusive. Applause. What
Is best for us and for our people should be a
decisive question. Applause. Gentlemen
whose judgment and large experience in life
gives added value to their kind words to these
young friends who, or the first time take |
The freemans place in line of battle to do
battle for the right, | give my kindly greet |
ings and best wishes in return for theirs. |
Applause, At the conclusion of speech |
making Gen. Harrison came down from the
platform and for over an hour shook hands |
with the pushing crowd. Later in the after
noon, accompanied by his niece Mrs. DIM
mock. he regaled himself by visiting the
base ball park, where he saw the PhIladel-
phla club drub the llooser team.

In Which Blood Is Shed BY Pick and
Shovel

DENVER, Col, Sept. 81
For several days there has been trouble
brewing at Aspen, between Midland and
Denver Rio Grande about the right of way
out of camp and into the Utah line. Yester-
day the quarrel caused the shedding of
blood and more trouble is expected. The
Rio Grande train was drawn out of the street
in accordance with the orders of the City
Council but it was replaced later yesterday
afternoon. The Midland being ready to
complete its track sent Il force of men to
clear the way. -
The men boarded the Rio Grande cars
| obstructing the track and Commenced to
unload them preparatory to getting them out
of the way Mr.. Warren, of the Rio Grande,
soon arrived with his men and ordered them
to beat off the Midland forces. conflict
ensued in which several men were badly
| hurt.
| President Scott of the Midland, was
struck in the breast and knocked down.
The city marshal and number of depu-
ties then interfered and with great difficulty
stopped the fight and placed the Midland men
unddr arrest. The Midland applied for an
injunction against the Rio Grande, and enc
was issued, but the laues road refused to
recognize is. the sheriffs then took posses
| sion Of the ground and are holding both
tracks and the train of cars against hotn
parties. The feeling is ygnpias very high
between the two companies and more trou-
| Ole is looked for.

A gentleman in this city has received from
friend in Los Angeles, Cal, the following
item clipped from a Los Angeles paper,
which seems to indicate that the inhabitants
of that place look upon the State Of Maine
as promising field for missionary labor. Ii
says: zone third of the churches of Maine
are closed for want of support and one half
Of the people are none church goers; out Of
! 1862 churches All are vacant" This item
will certainly be news to the people Of Maine.

would cost her merchants millions of dollars

English Comments on the Canadian
Industries

LONDON Sept. IT,
The Morning Post commenting upon
Senator Sherman's speech in Congress says
"Englishmen will not resist a deliberate de-
cision on the part of Canada TO seek
either independence or union with the
United States. The Canadians do not reed
Senator Sherman's assurance that the United
States will admit them. The fact that so able
a man as Senator Sherman should condescend
to such device is strange commentary on
the political condition of this country.
