Farther Evidence or what All Must
Pay Under the New Tariff.
The Gest people cannot keep down the
facts. Each day brings fresh news of the
way the masses are robbed. The fol-
lowing dispatch to the Chicago Herald
is clear enough for the world to under
stand, and shows how prices will be kept
up:
FINDLAY. Ohio. Oct. 21.-The window
glass trust went into operation today in
every city having a window glass hou Sc
west of the Alleghanies. and the price Of
the product was at once advanced 5 Der
cent as q result of this trust Window
glass is higher today than 1t has been for
years. and as all the factories are now in
the combine except one small concern at
Celina. Ohio. there is no prospect of any
reduction. as all competition has been
destroyed. The seven glass factories in
this city have all become q part of the
giant combination. and beginning today
the entire product will be sold through
the central agency in Chicago. Once a
month this agency will render an a ccount
OF sales. and all the factories will share
10 the net profit in proportion to their
production. This window glass trust is
now the largest and strongest trade COM
bination in the United States.

Cable for the West.

The Keokuk Consultation says: The
people of the Eleventh Illinois congress
sional district are fortunate in that Ben
T. Cable is a candidate for congress. He
is a man who possesses those qualities of
craftsmanship which will place him in
the front rank at Washington. Gest is a
light weight, and is no more fitted to re-.
present one of the most important con-
gressional districts of Illinois, than an
infant would be. The time has come
when the west must send its strong men
to Washington. Cable is one OF them.
He will represent the west and fight for
our interests. instead of serving as q
fawnlng tool for the mill bosses of the
east. Mr.. Cable talks to the point. He
speaks his sentiments freely. and demon
strstes that he gives close attention to
problems of the hour.
1t quotes several sections OF Mr.. Ca
ble's letter. and continues;
The man who cannot endorse these
sentiments, does not deserve to enjoy the
privilege of American cit zenship, and

will find that the price of these articles

duties of the Mckinley tariff bill, which,

The Chicago Journal Is not only the
Oldest newspaper In that city. but it il al

republican. From that position it has
never deviated. When Mr.. Cable was
nominated for congress the journal on

A RELIGIOUS CENSUS.
Only One in Three OF the Population II .
Church Member.
New York suu

Only One in Three OF the Population II .
Church Member.
New York Sun
According to statistics presented by the
Independsnk, the membership Of the Christ
ian churches OF this country now aggre-
gates 81, 757. III. and the gain since last year
has been Loss, S53. OF the increase about
three-ffths was among the Protestants and
two-fifths among the Roman Catholics.
More than two-thirds of the Protestant
gain was made BY the Baptist and Metho-
dists alone, or ATS, 061 ont of 663. I08.
The great religious communions of this
country are. therefore, the Catholic, the
Methodist and the Baptist, and they stand
numerically in the order in which they are
named. Together they include more than
four-ffths of the Christian believers of the
Union, the remaining one-fifth being di-
vided among fifteen secfs or denomina-
tons, with their various branches. The
Roman Catholics are nearly equal in num-
bers to the Baptists and Metnodists COM
bined, having population of g. 277 .939, rs
against 9,272, 53i made up of 1880, 240
Me,hodis,s and 4,292. 291 Baptists. The
ratio of increase among the three was also
about the same for the year, or something
over five in the hundred.
The Independent explains that the Roman
Catholic census includes he whole Catholic
population, while the Protestant enumerg-
ton gives only the actual communicate.
Hence, if ali those belonging TO the fami-
lies of the Baptists ana Methodists were
likewise counted the numerical strength OF
each of the three great cornmunions might
be about the same. Doubling the number
of the other Protestant mem bership on the
same principle, we find that tnuse in the
Pre- byterian denomination and under its
influence are less than one-iourteenth OF
the religious population, PROTESTANT and
Catholic, and the EpIscopalIans are re-
duced 10 very small fraction. or less than
three per cent, though in reality their
church attendance Is proportionate prob
ably much greater.
Bat the most striking fact about this cen.
sus is that it counts less than one In three
of the population in the churches. Even
il We make very liberal allowance for
those not enumerated among Protestant
communicates, but vine attend Protestant
worship. and also include the Jews, there
remain at least 5000 600 of the population
altogether who are without religion, who
are pagans. agnostics, unbelievers. scotfers,
lnfideis, and atheists Ii we included ali
Sho reject faith or are indifferent TO it,
though they keep up nominal and out
ward conformity, the total would be
vastly greater.
This country, therefore, is a great mis-
sionary field for the propagation of Chris
tianity. Here in New York half the peo-
pie are outside of the churches every Sun
day.
