They Went to La Sale.

A goodly crowd of republicans, headed by
the band, attended the La Sale republican
rally ON Tuesday. They, or part of them,
bring back glowing accounts Of the parade
and fire works, but all are singularly silent
upon the speakers. The cold, bare facts are
that Joe Fifer occupied his entire speaking
time in explaining, or attempting to explain,
what Gen. Palmer had said derogatory to
himself and party while Hill was 80 uninter-
esting that the crowd about him actually left
soon after he had commenced speaking.
The crowd from this city had been prom>
ised a train at IL oclook, but il came not.
A freight, however, came along about one
o'clock and part of the crowd boarded it,
All but half dozen were speedily put off,
and when the train had proceeded about a
mile two of these gentlemen were discovered
between two oars riding on the bumpers by
q brakeman, who welded d large club He
made a pass ct one of The boys with his
cudgel, and the other drawing revolver,
presented it At the breakman's head, remark
ing that 1t would be unhealthy to use the
instrument. Tho train then stopped and oil
but two were put off, the balance being forced
to wait for the passenger.

They IfInka JAIL.

Two seedy strangers we're placed In the
city jail for safe keeping on Saturday
night. They we're woefully intoxicated,
and the officers went away with their usual
smile of satisfaction. But, though drunk,
the strangers were by no means lacking In
ingenuity, for no sooner had the fumes OF
the liquor ceased 10 ascend 10 their mud
died brains than they set about devising a
plan to escape a Sunday Of confinement
and Monday morning fine. The jail is
an insecure place at best, and, with
the aid Of the heavy stove poker, they pried
the locks off the concern and left the city.

In wealth, per capita, Mr.. Mulhall ranks
the nations as follows: /, England; 2, Hol-
land, then France, Denmark, Australia,

roads of the United States carried 27O,OOO,-

ence In railroad rates Is by no means an ex-
PLANTATION OF the difference. The school
attendance In England has increased from
forty per cent less per capita than ours In
1890 to about the same. The postottice
returns show q greater increase In the

The regular 10 freight on the Rock Is
land road was the cause of the entire suspen'
sion of traffic from Joliet to Bureau juno
ton on Wednesday morning. The train had
pulled away from the Q junction, and was
makind lively time toward Msrseilles, when
one wheel Of the engine and the three
box cars Immediately in the rear jumped
the track at switch just west Of the Fox
river bridge. The derailed cars bumped
over the ties of the road and bridge,
breaking and tearing them until the engn.
eer discovered that his train was pulling
very heavily, and stopped, BY this time
the cars had become so badly mixed as to
entirely close the bridge to traffic; it re-
naming in this condition until nine o'clock.
BY eight O'Clock nearly half the north side
stood with It's mouth open gazing upoa mile
after mile of cars crc wded together at at in
tervals Of fifty feet, from Buffalo Rock half
way to Marseilles. Three passenger and q
dozen freight trains were at a standstill
within sight, and ten more we're stopped at
way stations. They left seven hours behind
time at nine clock.

tlon 10 the prices paid for labor OF the same
kind in different states, he says: "A casual
examination Of these ummaries will show
that any attempt TO prove an American rate
Of wages must necessarily result In failure.
There Is no such thing as an American
rate Of wages"
The only statement, then, that can be
made Is that given above; that the census
shows the average per centage of the value
OF finished product that goes 10 labor In
this country Is III per cent, and that the
republican claim that the tariff Is imposed
10 protect labor Is fraud, because the pro-
tected manufactures In 1880 got the benef,
of 49, per cent of tariff more than Mey
paid to their men, They probably get more
now, since the present tariff averages AZ
per cent and wages are no higher than
In 1890
How is II possible to talk of rates of
wages as affected by the tariff when In the
glass business, for example, foremen In Ky,
get So a day and $4S7 In n. J.; or gather

$3.50 In n. OF teamsters $l.35 In Ky
and S3 In Cal; or, In the iron business,

in Ind. and $l.S5 Ia Penn; or loom tixers
sec in N. c. and $2 81 in Penn. the same
tariffs protect labor in all these states alike.
1t is manifes.ly absurd to talk of the tariffs
raising or regulating wages, and 1t IL absurd
to everyone-except republican editor of
the size of the enc quoted, who would not
see the truth If he could.

The profound, though often sadly nebu.
lous, philosopher of the Ottawa Republican,
treats us to the following chunk Of economic
wisdom:
Tho larger the supply from abroad the
smaller the demand for the home. made,
the lower the prices, profits and wages. No
fact 10 better established than this, and any
number Of trades unions or any amount Of
skill of labOrers' cannot "govern the
price Of laborers' while ignoring it. To the
extent that high tariff excludes the foreign
supply TO that extent docs it raise and keep
up wsgeo.
What the "sritter" is trying to get through
him is, that it is not by tho law Of supply
and demand. nor in any degree by trades
unions, that wages are governed, but that
wages 90 up or down ss the supply for the
home trade is larger or smaller from abroad
Very good. Now. then. suppose the Mills
bill Is passed, the tariff on wool removed,
and our manufacturers are then enabled not
only to replace the $45,0OO,0OO Of WOODEN
goods now annually brought from abroad
by products Of their own, but to
manufacture many more millions more
for expectation, woulden't that be
likely very considerably to enhance the price
Of labor in this country Having conceded
that much, suppose you ease your conscience
a little further and tell your readers, what
you surely must know also to be true, that
there is not line or clause in the Mills bill
which, in purpose or possible effect, would
lead to dollars increase In the importation
Of manufactured articles from abroad, but
that its sole aim is to increase the importation
of raw materials 40 as enable our home
manufacturers, not only of woolens, but also
Of cottons, linens silks, etc., eto., to stop the
present heavy importations in these lines
from abroad and supply them from our own
factories and thus add largely to the de-
msnd, as it then also must to the price OF
labor in this country. If eur esteemed CO.
temporary will trace up his conscience to the
height Of such an admission, Ottawa will
reap more fame from the possession OF

ever would reap from adoHen organ factories

The Mills Bill to increase Manufacture.

The Mills bill to Increase Manufactures.
There will be, II the Mills bill becomes
law, a renewal of the experiment made
In cotton, silk, leather and various other
manufactures--thatO of free crude material
tor our manufactures We enlarge the
lumber free list; and we give wool, flax,
hemp, MANILA, sisal, and timed plate free
OF duty TO the American manufacturer.
Here, 10 my judgment, Is the greatest value
of the Mills bill. These materials will be
made free. On this basis alone can our
manufacturers hold the "home market
against their foreign competitors; this Is
the absolute requisite of the prosperity of
those engaged In the manufacture Of the
products composed of these materials We
raise perhaps 10000 tons of the fibers
which are classed with flax, hemp, etc,
and we use over 2l0 900 tons; we use 570,-
643,3S pounds of tin'plate and we do not
make pound; we require 100000 600 lbs,
OF wool and produce about 26j, 100000 lbs
Our foreign competitors have free mate
rails, which carries with II free selection
and we must obtain II on the same term9,
or be beaten In the contest. This change
will give stability and peace TO the indus
tries based on these materials, anil only
thus will they have that stability. And
this change will reduce the capital neces-
sary to the establishment and management
of such enterprises, and enable the facto-
ries to give twelve months labor to the
wage worker. 1t will gradually prevent
thelimportation of the finished product by
having II supplanted by the American
product. The day will soon come under
such law, when an English suit of wool.
en- goods will be as rare in America as a.
pair of English shoes now are.-Hon. p. q.
