CHICAGO, Oct. 27.-The following will
appear in this weeks Farmers Review:
Statistics furnished by correspondents
indicate that the crop Of potatoes har-
vested in twelve states covered by our
report will be about one-third of the
product harvested in those states last
year. The severe midsummer drouth
which followed All unusually wet spring.
proved disastrous to potatoes in Illinois,
Indiana, Ohio, Missouri, Kentucky, Kan
sas, Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsi. Mime
sofa and Dakota. In many counties III
those states the crop was an entire fail
ure, and at the best the yield was very
light. The majority of our Michigan
and Minnesota correspondents report
the yield fair and the quality average.
The fact that the area planted to pota
toes this year was about ten per ceat less
than last years acreage should also be
considered. For the states named the
total yield is 1884, 900 bushels. The
crop in other states and territories will
probably not exceed 73,796,O0 0 making a
grand total for the year 1890 of 1885, 31,
900, against our estimate Of 1889 233, 701,
600, and for 1885, of 216,G46,O0O bushels

the murder of s. s. Cole, a freighter, by
Colville Indians. Cole left Cummings
ferry on Saturday, Oct. II, or his return

The Record Again Lowered.

INDEPENDENCE, Iowa, Oct. 27.-The
leading event today at the races here was
the performance of The pole team Belle
Hamlin and Justina. They were driven
today by their old trainer, W. j. Andrews,
who took the laurels from their owner,
Hamlin. The team was started after one
warming up mile. Down to the half
they were confronted by a strong head
wind that peceptibly Shortened their clip.
The first quarter was made in 331s; to
the half they shortened the gait d sec
ond making 1t in :O64. In third quart
er Justina made a break and lost half II
second. Up the stretch they came like
the great thoroughbreds of Ben Hur and
the earth trembled under their ponder
GUS tread. At the distance flag JustIna
doubled her shoe and broke again, but
speedy squared herself and stopped the
watches at the wire at 2:12 flat, beating
their previous mark one-quarter of a
second.

DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE.
Pr"pounded by Governor Hill at Wheel
lnr.

"fhc democratic party may justly be
considered the friend OF labor. Its whole
record has be-, ciitruclerized by sulici-
tude for the int rests of those. who earn
their daily bead by the sweat of their
brows. At least one-half of its ranks are
recruited from the laboring classes, and
therefore an enlightened self.interest, If
no other motive, has dictated an honest
motive to favor measures beneficial to
the w~orkingmen. THIS attitude is not
Indicative of a hostile disposition towards
the manufacturing interests of the ccun-
try. We believe in encouragement of
domestic industries in every legitimate
manner; not by the imposition of unnec-
essary or unreasonable taxes upon other
interests for their exclusive benefit, but
recognizing the fact that the best or cas-
lest methods to raise revenues needed
for the support of the government
is by tariff duties upon i'm.
ports. We are deslrous that in the
adjustment of the details of such duties
due regard should he had to the
claims of home industries by imposing
sufficient rates to amply compensate labor
and afford manufacturers fair profit with
out creating ~monopolies. We haven't
advocated, and don't advocate free trade,
but insist that the interests of the great
body of people must be consulted in
framing just and reasonable tariff meas
ures. All interests have rights which are
entitled to be protected from govern
mental favoritism. We make no war up
on manufacturing intel ests. on one hand,
nor do we unwisely, or extensively, cham
pion the cause of their employees on the
other. Our opponents assert we antag-
onize the true interests OF manufactures
in u anxiety to relieve the burdens OF
the laboring people. | deny the state
ment.
We b-lieve in recognizing the de
mands of labor, and propose to shield
our workmen from such competitions as
can justly be considered as unfair. For
instance, if it costs So for labor to pro
duce certain manufactured articles in
foreign countries while it costs "a for
labor to produce the same article in this
country, then we favor a tariff of SO upon
that article in order to equalize the diff
ference in wages. An imposition of that
amount amply protects American work
men and prevents his being placed at a
disadvantage. This is all the tariff any
intelligent American workman ever de-
sired.

WASHINGTON. Oct, 2G.-More
tiohal charges put In very plain English
against the methods of the census otico
nave been published by the NntionD,
Democrat of this city. The article cues
lions just why Mr.. Porter left TO, En-.
rope at the time lie did, and believes
that 1t was not wholly for his health. II
continues:
He mad not shaken the dust of Wash
lpgton from his ieet until Secretary
Noble began Il hurried but earnest invas-
'isatlon OF the censu Office. The full re-
suit OF the investigation has not as vet
beer made known, but the secretary has
already satisfied himself that hundreds
OF positions III the census office under
superintendent Porter have been farmed
out.
One woman secured over twenty places
where she has farmed out the women
who pay her Il large share of their sala.
rles. a wholesale liquor dealer was
given II $4,000 place because he furnish
ed bondsmen for the disbursing clerk
(hitnself being one) and presented manv
cases of "gouds" to Superintendent Port
er. That hundreds of electrical machines
were contracted for by Porter at SO per
DAY Tor the use of each machine. This
contract was with a relative of Porter's.
Numbers of these machines were found
to he useless and are stored away IN the
ninth story of the Ninth street building.
Not one OF these machines fulfilled the
condition of the contract. They were to
tabula:e the enumerations, giving sex,
color, nativity, etc. With the exception
of adding they were g total failure and
the entire work must be done over.
The secretary has discovered that be-
cause of a very favorable lease to the
owner of a certain building the owners
carriage calls morning and evening for
Chief Clerk Childs. The wife of the
driver of said carriage is on the pay roll
at $50 per month, in charge of the char
woman, but as she is unable to read or
write, a poor white woman keeps the
record for her. The white woman gets
but 1926 u month. The secretary has
learned that SO many empty bottles that
had contained liquor were thrown out OF
the back windows of the Ninth street
building into the narrow alley that it was
positively dangerous to employees below,
and that they filed a protest, since which
time the empty bottles have been packed
in boxes, covered with paper and car
ried out in the night. The secretary
has learned many other things that he
may not deem it policy to tell, but there
will be an investigation when congress
meets in December, and then the people
will learn of the disgraceful methods thai
prevail III the censls office.
