Americas Triumph.

We lead all nations in agriculture, we
lead all nations in mining, and we lead
all nations in manufacturing. These
are the trophies which we bring after
twenty-nine years of a protective tariff.
There is no country in the world where
individual enterprise has such wide and
varied range, and where the inventive
genius of man has such encouragement.
There is no nation in the world, under
any system, where the same reward is
given to the labor of mems hands and
the work of their brains as in the United
States. We have widened the sphere of
human endeavor and given to every man
a fair chance in the race of life and in
the attainment Of the highest possibili-
ties of human destiny. Hon. William
Mckinley.

INDIANS WERE PADDERS.
Men Have Been Getting Rations for
Too Large FamiIiee.

Agent Wright, at Rosebud, Says the Red
Too Large FamiIiee.
MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 6.-An Evening
Journal Rapid City special says: Indian
Agent Wright, of the Rosebud agency,
who was in the city Friday, submitted
to an interview in the Journal relative
to the great falling off in the census of
Indians upon his agency and the appar-
ent discrepancy between the number of
Indians actually upon the reservation
and the number of rations issued. Agent
Wright took charge of the Rosebud
agency Sept. 80, 1889, and continued to
issue rations upon the rolls received at
that time. He received orders at the
close of the fiscal year of 1889 to take
an enumeration of the Indians. This
was done, by the assistance of employees
Of the agency, upon the 18th and 8th of
July, the result showing 1900 less In
receiving rations. He does not assume
to account for the large discrepancy,
beyond stating that many have died and
oUIlClS SOllO oOuUh w UIlC Allulou LULU
tory. Mr.. Wright also mentions the
fact that many heads Of families have
been.
Receiving Rations for More Persons
than were actually in their families. He
repels the suggestion that the rations in
excess of the number of Indians have
been sold and appropriated for the
agents private benefit. Other parties
here who are familiar with the methods
of distributing rations say that the
chief cause of the discrepancy lies in the
practice referred to by Agent Wright
that of drawing extra rations. Red
Cloud is cited as an instance. He is said
to draw ten rations regularly at Pine
Ridge agency, while his family consists
of but three persons. The practice is
said to prevail quite generally, though
whether with the knowledge or consent
of the agent is not stated.

POTATOES TO SELL.
A Bigger Crop in the Northwest Than
Has Been Anticipated.

A Bigger Crop in the Northwest Than
Has Been Anticipated.
MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 9.-The potato
crop is turning out quite well in the
Northwest, says the Minneapolis Market
Record. This crop, owing to cheapness
in most years, has gone into wasteful
consumption. The greater part of the
country in the Northwest, in recent re-
ports, showed that very little attention
is usually paid to raising potatoes for
sale. Whenever there is short supply,
however, that brings up the sprice to an
attractive figure, people are surprised by
the amount of potatoes raised above
home wants. When 81 bushel was
talked of, the whole of this part of the
country discovered all at once that there
were but few potatoes in hill and
small ones at that. In some sections
that is true. But since the high prices
begin to bring them out the growers
themselves are astonished that the pro-
duction is SO large. Finally, they came
20 market SO freely that the price has
gone down below expectations.

TO BETRAY AMERICAN INDUSTRY.
Cheap Free-trade Papers to Be Estab-
lished with Foreign Money.

Cheap Free-trade Papers to Be Estab-
lished with Foreign Money.
A scheme to boom Free-trade, ruin
American industries and protect foreign
manufacturers has just been discovered
by The New York Sun. 1t announces
in its issue of the 18th that the well
known Free-trade editor, Melville E.
Stone, late of The Chicago News, has
returned unexpectedly from Europe,
with plans and funds for the publication
of seven penny morning newspapers in
the seven largest cities of the United
States. 1t is said that he has secured
100000 to be devoted to this object,
enrich himself and force open the mar
kets of the United States to the products
of cheap labor.
This scheme is not new. 1t has been
known that Mr.. Stone was at work at it,
and counted upon the liberal support OF
foreign merchants, bankers and manu-
facturers to make it success. The i'm
portance of this country as market fol-
European products has been strongly
manifested of late in meetings of the
business men in various commercial and
manufacturing centers of Europe, and
in the acts of these governments, pro-
testing against our recent tariff legisla-
ton. This sentiment and the determin-
alton to hold the markets of the United
States, in spite of the will of our people
and the laws which are enacted to ex-
press it, has now found utterance in the
attempt to secure by money the ends
which they have failed to secure by ar
guments and protests.
The use of money by foreigners tc
control legislation and public opinion is
not unknown in this country. But
never, we believe, until now has an
American citizen of high standing and
acknowledged ability deliberately con-
spired with the industrial and CONNER
cial representatives of foreign nations tc
overthrow the settled economic policy OF
the United States by the use of foreign
money, in order to promote the prosper
ity of foreign industries and labor at the
expense Of those of his own countrymen,
Attention is called to the facts here
stated with the conviction that wher
they are known the Indignation Of the
American people will battle and put tc
naught the unnatural scheme. The in
fanny of Arnold was fruitless, but it viii
be eternal.

The Idea of the Protective Tariff.

The American manufacturer who EN-.
ploys his labor-and his laborer on being
paid buys his wheat and corn and bacon
and pork and clothes and everything else
at home and pays that laborer two OF
three times as much as laborer would
get in Europe for work of the same sort,
cannot expect his foreign market, and if
he could look for foreign market where
there is anybody who wants the sort OF
thing we are speaking of now it would
be like carrying Goals to Newcastle; il
would be like Vermont attempting to ship
coal to Pennsylvania-they can make
enough of it themselves. That is the
whole idea of the protective tariff.
What we are able to produce ourselves
in this great national family it is for the
benefit of all that we should produce

CARNEGIE CAUSED A BREEZE.
His TRADE Against British Nobilit

His TRADE Against British Nobility
Creating a Sensation in England.
LONDON, Sept. "a great deal of ILL
feeling has been stirred up by Mr.. An
drew Carnegie's recent speech at Dun
dee, wherein he INDUCED in an attack
upon the upper classes of England,
while eulogizing the corresponding
classes of America as little short of
angels. The prevailing tone of criticism
upon the speech is that while it is
appropriate for Mr.. Carnegie to speak
highly of the country and the people
whence he derives his great wealth, it is
In Very Bad Taste for Him
to go out of his way to assail the people
among whom he chooses to live, and
whose society he eagerly solicits. Among
the remarks made by Mr.. Carnegie in
the speech referred to, which have
caused the greatest offense, was dec
laration that were it not for the fact
that the property of the aristocracy is
entailed, SO that they can use only the
income, they would drink and gamble
themselves into poverty within five
years. The speaker also ridiculed roy
atty, and made some claims for the
American system of government which,
according to the opinion of several
Americans who heard him, were hardly
borne out by the practical workings Of
political Institutions in that country.
1t is thought that the speech will have
tendency to somewhat interfere with
Mr.. Carnegies success as a cultivator of
relations with the leaders of English
society.

WHY WE HAVE NO SHIPS.
The Whole Question Clearly Explained
in Nutshell.

The disadvantages against which
American vessels in the foreign trade
have to contend are fourfold.
First-Liberal postal and naval sub
sides and building and sailing bounties
paid by the chief shipping nations.
Second-Lower wages to mechanics
in foreign shipyards, machine shops and
dry docks, and lower wages to officers
and seamen, and lower cost of mainte-
nance on shipboard.
Third-Hostile discrimination of Brit
ish Lloyds in respect to inspection and
classification, and of English under
writers in regard to the insurance of
cargoes in American built ships, COM
pelling vessels under our flag to wait
ways the lowest rates of freight.
Fourth-Competition of the severest
kind with all the shipping of the world,
in consequence of the free shipping policy
of our own government since 1923 though
this policy was adopted in 1928 its opera
ton was confined to the smaller mari
time powers Until 1850. The extension
of the provision of this act to Great Brit
ain at the commencement of that year
is the cause of our loss of maritime posi-
toni, and no attention given by con-
gress nor any action taken to secure
equal footing and fair play to our ship
ping under the unequal and destructive
competition which it has invited, and
which has subordinated our shipping
service to the will and caprice of our
rivals and enemies, driven our people
and our flag from the high seas and
crippled our right arm of national de-
Tense.

Convention Assembled at Frankfort to

FRANKFORT, KY, Sept. GA conven-

Monday. 1t is composed Of 100 dele
gates, and embraces the most distin-
guished men in the state, among them
being the present governor, an ex-gover-
nor, an ex-chief justice and several dis
tinguished judges and jurists. The con-
vention is the result of repeated at
tempts on the part of the people to take
from the constitution several obnoxious
features placed there by the pro-slavery
convention of 1849, and to make it con-
form to modern ideas. The convention
assembled at noon in the hall of the
house of representatives and proceeded
at once to organize. A score of dele
gates are candidates for the distin-
guished honor of being made president
Of the convention, but the one most fire.
quently spoken of in that connection is

What Protection Has Done for Pottery.
Mr.. President, there is no industry in
this country that shows more clearly
and with more emphatic defniteness the
advantage of the protective principle
than that of the manufacture of crock
cry, the making of china ware in all its
grades. 1t was but few years ago
when, as has been repeatedly suggested
in debate, this industry did not have an
existence in this country. The potters
made cheap sort of earthen ware, with
out beauty in either form or finish, and
it was not until protective rates were es-
tablished that this great industry, of ad-
vantage not only to those who manufac-
ture that kind of ware, but of advantage
to the owners of land and to those who
are interested in clay and kaolin beds
throughout the country, obtained stand
ing and permanent foothold.
It is true, when you get into the highly
decorated and expensive ware used in
the houses of the wealthy, that the china
and crockery ware of the old country is
purchased by those who can afford to
pay the price, but any man who goes
into an establishment dealing in these
articles today is struck forcibly with two
facts: First, the superiority of the goods,
their delicacy Of texture, their beauty Of
form, their fneness Of finish and their
excellence of decoration, comparing
most favorably with those produced
abroad: and second, he is surprised at
the very low price that is asked for these
goods.-Extract from Speech of Senator
ManderS011
