HOW PROTECTION BENEFITS
MINNESOTA.
n. A. Har.sAorn in Tarin League Bulletin

n. A. Harsshorn in Tariff League Bulletin.l
The history Of the Scandinavian popu-
lation In the United States is q complete
refutation Of the claim that the laboring
class are not benefited by protection.
The immigration of all nationalities TO
our shores stamps the assertion as false.
Let us take this single instance: During
the last ten years more than $o,OOO,OOO
per year has been sent in small amounts
by our working classes TO their friends
in Great Britain, while no considerable
amount Of money has been RENTED by
the corresponding class on the other
side Of the water TO their friends here.
And the same thing is true, perhaps
even in q greater degree, of the Scandi-
nayians Of the Northwest. If protec-
ton was injurious to the farmers of Min
nesota they could not prosper as they
have done during the past % wears. On
q visit to the Northwest year or two
ago I travelled from Minneapolis to Chi
cago with number Of Scandinavians
who were on their way to spend the
holidays In the old country. In Chicago
/ witnessed q procession of 800 Of them
in carriages, with band, &C., en- route to
their old homes, all to return within q
few months. Again saw IN this very
house q banquet which could not have
cost less than $40 apiece, at which the
guests were all of the Scandinavian race,
500 of them in all. was told that every
one of their number had come to this
country within the past Is to 20 years,
comparatively poor. Imagine ifyou can
the same class Of people in the old coun-
tries living under free trade who could
show alike prosperity. Why, it is an
undisputed fact that farm machinery is
from 10 TO 80 per cent. cheaper here
than In any other part of the world.
How then can protection rob the MIN.
nesota farmer2 This West Hotel refutei
the assertion that protection makes liv.
| ing high or robs the laboring people o.
their Just share of profits. The chief oi
the house assures me that the scale O
wages is more than double that paid il
similar hotels in London, three times
greater than in Paris and four times
| greater than the wages paid in Italian
hotels, and yet can testify that its rate
to guests are cheaper than any hotel O
a like character in Europe. The work
ing people in American hotels receiv,
as much benefit from tariff for the pro
lection of American labor as the work
ing people in American mills. ga.
this in refutation of the argument tina
protection protects limited class #
laborers. One thing more; our League
insists that the quanty of wheat sent t,
Liverpool fixes the Liverpool price
rather than that the Liverpool pric
fixes the price in America, and with tn
increased production of wheat in India
Russia, Australia and South America,
the American farmer continues to shil
large quantities to the English market
the time is not far distant when whea
will not be worth its cost of production
and transportation from Minnesota +
Liverpool. The Minnesota farme
should seek to create home market b.
encouraging all sorts of manufacture
industries to come to the Northwest.

THE Globe publishes couple Of coli
umns to-day under the head "Have We

Doran because he is opposed to Ames

scheme to run Albert Scheffer for gov

but its question regarding boss seems
to point otherwise. OF course you have

The Albert Lea Standard, whose usu-

tariff question, rises to remark:
Mr.. Dunnell is making an effort to get
his old friend Jas. g. Blame TO come in

IL he comes the Democratic committee
ought to pay his expenses, for the more
protection speeches the more Demo
cratic votes.

IT MUST be very pleasing to the Prohi-
bitionists to note the ridicule and deri-
sion with which the Globe treats their
state convention. Not only are the gen.

scoffed at but even the ladies are made

too, from the organ of the only party
which will profit by the efforts of the
third nartY men.

A sENArE rARlEF sILr.
The Conference of Republican SEN
ators Decides to Pass Sub
aAlAta|A


WASHINGTON, July 26.-The Republi-
can senators in caucus last night decided
unanimously 10 pass at this session .
senators assembled at the house Of Sena-
tor Evarts at 8 O'Clock last evening and
were In session until midnight. All the
senators were either present In person
or sent by their colleagues the authority
TO represent them. There has not been
such unity in Republican caucus, Sem
ator Sherman said after the adjourn
ment, for fourteen years. There was ut
first some dissent on the part OF few,
but they were @ very small minority,
and they soon yielded their judgment
TO that Of the rest. The decision Ia to
have the finance committee agree upon
bill to submit to caucus Of the sena-
tors. The senators all agree to adopt
the views of the majority of that caucus.
1t was announced in the caucus that II
was certain that if congress should adj
iourn without acting on the surplus the
president would convene congress IN
extra session for that purpose and that
his message would be very injurious.
No details of the bill are agreed upon.
That is left to the finance committee and
to subsequent caucus action. The deci-
sion is that the finance committee shall
prepare substitute for the Mills bill,
and that it shall be reported to the SEN
ate and called up and passed. regardless
of the length Of time this may require.
| THE BILL
| will be an outgrowth OF that already
sketched by the subcommittee, but the
views expressed by senators tonight
and approved by q majority of the sena.
tors, will doubtless lead to some modif-
cations and change of details. The mel
reduction of revenue to be attained vii
probably be between $65, 600 900 and
$50, 000, 900. Among the most pronounc
ed in favor of taking affirmative actor
were Senators AldriCh, Hiscock, Jones
of Nevada, and Allison. Mr.. Aldrict
has been the active working member o
the subcommittee which has been givin(
attention to the tariff, and has had some
hearings. Mr.. Hiscock has co-operateC
with him more than any member Of the
subcommittee. Mr.. Allison was no
quite so sure that it would be expedien
: to enter upon q general tariff debate il
the senate. Mr.. Sherman, who is |
member of the committee on finance
did not agree with his associates as Il
the expediency of entering into 30 ex
tended a debate as they proposed. HI
thought that at best it would not be wis,
to go further than to propose simple
J tax-reduction bill, which would embrac
only the articles of tobacco, alcohol il
, the arts and sugar, and which shoul'
!, not attempt to enter into the schedule
of the tariff. Among those who advo
Gated the postponement of the tarii
question until the next session was Sen
ator Quay. He said, however, that
was for the doubtful states to decid
r what should be done in the matter. ]
is, therefore, evident that these states
which are regarded as pivotal states i
the next election, favored the course de
cided upon tonight.

has been given each employee that from
July 90 the mills will be closed for few
weeks. The reason Is the removal of the
tariff on wool as proposed by the Mills

obliged to shut down on account of the
stagnation in the wool trade caused by
the uncertainty produced by tariff lsgis-

An Indiana Sheriff Fatally Shot

Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. To-
Sheriff Robert Jones of Grantly
county, visited the village of Je-
rome, Howard county, yesterday,
to recapture John Flemming, a con-
victed horse-thief, who had escaped
from the Grant county Jail. He
found Flemming at the residence of
Mrs. Hopkins. When the thief
caught sight of the sheriff he drew a
pistol and fred two shots, the first
passing through the officers elbow
and the second entering his abdo-
men. The plucky officer, though
mortally wounded, dubbed Elem
ming into submission, and a deputy
took him in charge and placed him
IN jail at Marion. The sheriff lies at
Jerome, and there is no hope of his
recovery. The crime caused great
indignation at Marion, and Flem-
ming has been sent to Michigan CITY
for safe keeping.
