Again Mr.. Garfield said: .Let 4 b,
remembered that % per cent. of all the
laboring people in this country are arti.
sans engaged in manufactures. Tbei,
culture has been fostered by our tariff
laws 1t is their pursuits and the skill
which they have developed that produced
the glory of our centennial exhibition. To
thei the country owes the splendor of the
position it holds before the world more
than to any other equal number of our cit
liens
Garfield was never in favor of free raw
materials, nor was he ever /. free trader.
He has been accused of being both by free
trade demagogues, but not one of them has
ever been able, though repeatedly chal-
lenged, to produce particle of truth to
sustain their side, the proofs to the con-
trary are overwhelming.
In conversation, held with Mr.. Gar
field in the lobby of the house of repre-
sentatives, he cited the statement made by
DE Witt Clinton as fully expressive of his
own views: TO encourage the fabrics of
nature; to protect manufacturers is to ad-
vance the growth of the raw materials of
which they are made; to countenance COM
merce Is to couLtenance cheapness of
transportation and goodness Of market,
and to promote the wealth of any member
or section of the Union is to enhance its
ability to use the fabrics and consume the
productions of the others"

The official count will perhaps vary
some of these figures considerably, but is
not expected to alter them so material V
as to disturb the relative proportion, ex-
cept, perhaps in "A very few instances.
The increase in population is about 30 per
cent. and has been greater in the west and
southwest OF the older states Nebraska
has made the most phenomenal increase,
gaining l44 per cent, while Minnesota
follows with 81 and Kansas with SO
OF the new states Washington shows
four times the population of 1880,
Montana and Wyoming three
times, while the population of
Idaho has more than doubled. Nevada
has fallen off over than one-fourth, and in
ten years hence, at the same rate, will have
hardly enough people left to hold a caucus.
OF the other states, Vermont is the only
one to show an absolute loss, Maine having
made gain of about 5000.
With a congressional ratio of lS7, 900
the states of Michigan, Texas Massachu-
sets, Tennessee, Minnesota, New Jersey,
Indiana. Arkansas, Maine, Vermont,
Rhode Island and Oregon would get the
advantage of major fractions, but the
remainders left on the division in
others would not approach near enough
to base claims for additional
members upon them. OF the twelve states
to gain such advantage six are republican,
and six, including Rhode Island. are
democratic. The ratio suggested is ad-
mirably adapted to Wisconsin, as it almost
exactly divides her population into nine
districts as at present.

ST.. PETERSBURG, Aug. lS.-When the
Emperor OF GefmLny arrived at Norvl

of the Viborg regiment, and wore the
decoration of the Russian Order of st.
Andrew. The car was in the uniform of
the Alexander regiment, and on his breast
was the decoration of the German Order
of the Black Eagle. The czarewltch,
Russian ambassador to Germany and Il
number of other prominent personages ac-
COMMANDED the car and received his
majesty at the railway station. After the
members of the czars and emperor's suits
had been presented to each other, the car
and the emperor were driven to the Pol
vytsoff villa, where the czarian extended a
hearty welcome to the imperial guest. A
large crowd lined the route from the sta

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S-The census
o!fice has so nearly furnished the count of
the schedules that it is able TO make
close estimate of the population of the
country, and the total will not be far from
GA, 100000. A careful estimate of the
population of the various states has been
made by one of the officials, and it is
given in the following table There has
also been much careful figuring on the
congressional ratio with view of deter
mining the possible apportionment. The
most satisfactory figure found so far is
Isl, 900 (the present ratio being l54 ,000)
which would make house of $40 mem
berS slight increase over the present
house, which has 325 members. and the
last column of figures shows how many
representatives each state would have on
that basis.

MONEY DID NOT MAKE HIM HAPPY
suicide of millionaire Broker of New
York

New YORK, Aug. Is. - Joseph A.
jameson, the Broad street broker and
banker shielded yesterday by hanging.
He was millionaire, and was the Stock
Exchange member of the firm of jane
son ~ Co.. bankers and brokers, at Ex-
change place and Broad street. The sec
ond member of the firm is James d.
Smith, commodore Of the New York
Yacht club.
Mr.. Jameson's family is out of town.
From what can be learned from his
friends. temporary insanity, caused by ill
ness, and perhaps aggravated by feel
ing of lonliness in the absence of his family
is thought to have been the cause Of the
unhappy trgedy.
Mr.. Jameson came from st. Louis in
1865 with his brother-in-law, Amos Cot
ting, since deceased. Each is said to have
brought 81, 500, 900 as the profit of dry
goods business.

But our imports of beet sugar

So that we yearly pay to the European
growers S6957 1888 for beet sugar, every
pound of which we ought to make our
selves.
In round numbers. our imports of cane
sugar from Southern and Central America
are worth IS, 500 900 year, and, in rounc
numbers, our yearly imports of the same
from Cuba and Porto Rico are worth S3S.
100000. So that our dutiable imports Of
cane sugar are worth So, 500, 900, and oul
dutiable imports of beet sugar about ST.,
000,0 year. That is to say, onefifth
or more, of our dutiable sugar is made
from beets. This fifth ought to be home
made; indeed, there is no reason why al
our sugar should not he homemade. The
fact to be considered is that one-fifth OF
the sugar now imported and subject tc
duties is made from beet roots.
We also imported free of duty, by
reason of a reciprocity treaty, from the
Hawaiian Islands, sugar to the value OF
Sl2 ,07S,5lS; which is nearly double the
value of our imports from Southern ano
Central America. 1t i worth while 10 re-
fleet upon the imme s. advantages gained
by US from reciprocity with the Hawaiian
kingdom before we hasten to make like
treaties with other nations. We made
Hawiian sugar free, and imported it tc
the value of more than Sl2,000,000 in
1889. In return the Hawaiian king
dom bought goods from us to the
great sum of s39,62l of which 81 AIS
went duty free into the ports of that King
dom while 1913, 1913 paid duty Our farm
ers must have been greatly benefited by
this reciprocity. For of the total Of S39,.

81 ,52l by cigars and cigaretts, S341 by

In return fol our purchase of $4,000, 900
of sugar the Hawaiians bought American
made wooden cloth to the value of 1913
and all other wooden manufacturers to the
value of 1912. In short, we 'reciprocated
free sugar to the value Sl2,000,000 fol
trade or less value than the weekly Gus
tom of any one of half dozen State street
stores. There is lesson of carefulness il
future reciprocity to be learned from
this.
Our Cuban and Porto Rican imports Of
sugar are Just about three times as great
as our Hawaiian imports. Would "recip
rocity" give Us Just about three times as
much export trade? Should we swar
s36, 100000 worth of free sugar for 800
900 of export trade, mostly with
duties to be paid by our exporters, just a:
we have swapped Sl2,000,000 worth Of
free sugar for S39 900 of exports to Hawaii
upon s2S, 900 of which our shippers pay
duty?
