On Sunday Chicago proved her claim
to be called the Windy City, by getting
up a first class hurricane, which killed a
number of people and destroyed large
amount of property. A heavy rain fol-
lowed the storm, which worked great
damage by the flooding of cellars.

CHANGE OF BRITISH OPINION.


From the New York Press.
While the majority of the Royal Com
mission appointed to inquire into the de-
preston of trade and industry indorsed
free trade, four members of the Commits
sion openly advocated, in view of the in
creased competition in the British home
markets, a system of protective duties on
foreign manufactures. We quote verbat-
i'm from their report:
but as regards this practically subsid-
lied competition in our home market,
(which is doing so much to destroy the
" fair profits of producers and to diminish
"the employment of labor, we have at
command practical remedy The i'm
position of duties equal to 10 or 15 per
"cent. dd odlOrem upon all manufactures
" imported from foreign countries would,
"We believe, sufficiently counteryail both
"the bounty creating effect of their pro-
elective tariffs and the unenviable econ
"Omy of production obtained through
"lOnger hours of labor and less effective
inspection and regulation of its condi-
tiOns. For our aim ought not to be to
cOuntervail any natural and legitimate
advantage which foreign manufacturers
may possess, but simply to prevent our
Town industries being placed at an artifi-
"cial dis advantage by the interference of
"either home or foreign legislation, and to
replace them, as nearly as may be, in the
position in which they would have found
themselves but for such interference"
This report is signed by Lord Dunraven
(who is the owner of the Valkyrie), W.
Farrer Ecroyd, P. Albert Muntz and Ne
vile Lubbock.
In the next paragraph they enunciate
the doctrine of protection that the home
market should be preserved for the home
producers. They say:
"Such duties would undoubtedly to a
considerable extent keep foreign manu-
"factures out of our home market, and
thereby give increased employment to
"Our home industries"

A DEMOCRATIC POET

From the Pittsburgh Dspatch.
Richard Henry Stoddard, the poet, is
extremely democratic in his tastes and
habits. A friend recently found him be-
tween noon and o'clock p. NJ. sitting in
the elevator eating n dish of Irish stew
with the elevator man. Stoddard took
the attendant to his home one day and in
troduced him us "the man with whom |
something's dine"

THE Wheeling Intelligencer asserts
that the count in the contest over the
GOvernorship has ACTUALLY shown an in
creased vote for Golf. That while Demo
Gratis proclaim that Republican frauds are
being unearthed, they misrepresent the
facts. Cases of intentional fraud have
been few, and they have been more to
Fleming's disadvantage than to Golf s.
Votes have been rejected mainly on
technical objection to their being re-
ceiyed.

MORE THAN LOCAL INTEREST

From the st. Louis Republic Dem)
The fight for the enforcement of the
Sunday law in Cincinnati has developed
a phase which makes it of more than local
interest. This phase is the open and Or
ganized rebellion of the saloon keepers,
and their determination to resist the
power of the State x 1t is hard
to treat such exhibitions of contumacious
insolence with either patience or toler-
ance. If municipal government
and State law are not a failure III Cincin-
natl they will be taught better at their
own cost

THE amount of English capital which
is seeking investment in this country
indicates a more substantial confidence
in American prosperity than could pos
sibly be stimulated under the Democrat
ic fallacy of free trade. No intelligent
individual needs to be told that the pro-
tective policy of the Republican party
has opened the eyes of the whole world
to the growth of American industries
and the prosperity of the people.

If the Democratic party was not en-
tirely Bourbon in its ideas and princi-
pies, it would know by this time that it
is dangerous as well as unpatriotic to
urge that the pensions to Union veter-
ans be grudgingly peddled out, piece
meal and by struck measure. There is
little likelihood that the 'boys" will get
more than their deserts.

MORE ABOUT NELSON briggs.

MORE ABOUT NELSON briggs.
From the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
Old Nelson briggs, the cOunterfeiter,
who gave the L. S. Secret Service detect
ives such battle at Dayton when he was
arrested, is rather "Smart" individual.
briggs is upward of seventy years old,
and as tough as he is old. He and his
young wife took care, after their arrest,
that the newspaper reporters should be
informed that the counterfeit bills -S35,-
600 of which were found in briggs house
at the time of the arreSt-Were printed
from the original Treasury Department
plates. These plates, it is said, were stO-
len from the vaults of the Department at
Washington.
The story given the reporters is absurd.
The plates of the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing are as difficult to steal as
the fleece of the golden lamb. 1t is many
years now since plate disappeared from
the vaults of the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing and not plate has been
lost since the issue of greenbacked silver
certificates was begun. As the paper with
which the briggs crowd has been flood
ing Ohio is $40 silver certificates of that
description it is quite certain that the
bills were not printed from stolen plates.
All the plates in the Bureau of Engrav-
ing and Printing are kept in vaults under
charge of three Commissioners, appoint
ed by the Secretary of the Treasury, and
when the engrayers or printers want
plate they must present a requisition
therefor, signed by the proper officers, and
give formal receipt. Every plate issued
to the printers during the day must be re-
turned at evening. Thus it is that the
plates can not be stolen, nor can they be
used to print notes during cover time"
When the Cleveland administration went
out every plate in the vaults was counted.
Not one was missing. The story, there
fore, that the briggs counterfeit notes
were printed from the original Treasury
plates is lie

THE MATTER AS 1T STANDS.

From the Chicago Tribune, of Saturday
The Cincinnati saloon-keepers having
been forced to keep their places closed for
several Sundays have become restive and
have resolved to fight. A large number
of them have signed pledge to defy the
law and remain open next Sunday at all
hazards. If they keep their word and try
the experiment they will regret it. If the
police are unable because of forcible re-
siStance to enforce the law the militia will
be called on. twill be few saloon-keep-
ers versus the State of Ohio, and the fight
will not be an equal one. 1t will teach the
saloOn-keepers that they are not as i'm
portant or as strong as they thought they
were. The trouble with them is that they
have been spoiled and indulged too long.
X The SaloOn-keepers of Cincin-
natl have been running things to suit
themselves for many years. They have
presumed on the patience of the people
and now they are reaping their reward. =
If they think they have grievan-
ceS they must look first to the law for re-
dress. If that does not give it they must
go to the polls. They know the road there
well enough. They must not defy the au-
thOrity of the State.

PARIS, July 13, 1889.
My DEAR SIR-Y our interesting letter
of the 30th, with Enclosures, is received
and read with attention. l have been OBJ
servant of the proceedings of the COnven-
ton at Columbus, and am entirely salts
fed with the result.
The nomination of Governor Foraker
came naturally from the division of Opin-
ion among the delegates as to other can
didates. In the conditions shown the
Convention wisely selected a candidate
who has already made three brilliant can
vases for the same Office, and has shown
marked ability as an executive officer as
well as speaker.
What is needed now is a hearty, earn
est union of all Republicans to secure the
success of the ticket.
l sincerely trust that no friend of mine
will revive or recur to the differences of
opinion in the Ohio delegation in the
Chicago Convention. All that is spent
powder, and while our Democratic friends
may seek to create prejudice and division,
our duty should be to unite, and to dis
SouoSC dl pIcJuulCo VI COhOoHIlOu.
Some disappointment and discomfort
may grow out of Federal appointments.
but after all the people care but little who
hold the offices if they are good men,
The strong points in the canvass will be
the principles of the Republican party as
contraSted with the want of principle in
the Democratic party, and also the salts
factory action of the last Republican Leg
islature compared with the previous Dem
Ocratic one. Ohio is Republican State,
and there should be no doubt of the result
in canvass in which so much is at stake.
l will, as matter of course, do all can
to promote the election of the entire tick
ct, and will, after September 10, when l
hope to be in Ohio, take such active part
in the canvass as may seem proper and
necessary.
Very truly yours, JOHN SHERMAN.

THE statement of the Pennsylvania
Railway for June has been looked for
with interest, as it was known it would
show the loss by the floods. The money
damage to the road was $1,149,382 in
gross earnings, and $S04,662 net. These
figures are large, but the company, after
all this loss, is only S2S2,293 in net
earnings behind last year, which, as will
be remembered, was period of remark

THURSDAY, AUGUST l, 1889.

A DECISION made by the Treasury De
partment last week on the garnetted
wool waste matter, is another evidence
that the government is bound to admin
lister the custom laws as was intended at
the time of their passage. Itwas shown
to the Treasury officials that the social
ed waste had really undergone process
of manufacture, and had become, when
imported. nearly or quite equal in value
to the clean wool. This changes its
identity, of course, and compels it to be
classed as secured wool at thirty cents
per pound. This action will be a ma
terial help to wool growers, as great
quantities were imported during the
Fairchild- Cleveland administration.
