b my excuse Tor propoundlng this ques-
tou; II the foregoing assertion made by
Mr. Mills Is correct, whyis IL that the
prices Of grain, in Liverpool, as set by
ariDqy products" do not pay the American
farmer, anything near theactual first cost

grqin marlcet Is free TO tie WOrId.
Tariff reformers, IN the past, have earn"
6stly cOntended for the recognition Of the
fact that the tariff ls q tax paid by the
American consumer Of foreign goods, and
not by the foreign manufacturer. They
are emlnently correct In this contention,
rs the tariff has nothing whatever to do
tiith the price Of foreign goods in tOreign
markets. II Is we'll to bear this In mind.
liverpool has the supreme control OF the
prices Of grain, and England and Europe
set their own prices upon their own man
gfactured goods.
Mr. Mills lays great stress upon the
fact that our exports Of agriculture are
steadily decreasing, but be fails TO inform
his readers that our imports of foreign
goods are steadily increaslng. TINT
Name him. II would be awkward TO have
10 reconcile our dcreased imports Of
merchandise, with our decreased exports
oi grain. We can't have too much OF a
good thing but II slight but steady in
crease In imports, results ina large and
steady decrease in grain exports, where
would we be, II we threw our door wide
0pen. But why does not Mr.. Mills see In
the increase of t2,000,000 more mouths TO
an IN 1880 than there were in 1881, sOme
Reason for our decreased exports OF grainY
But an analysis Of the import aud ex-
port figures for 1887 and 1889 show re-
uarkable results, which seem TO set Mr..
Mills theories at napght. We not only
imported more, but the very nations we
bought the most from, made us pay mon
ey, and did not buy our grain, thus dis
proving the statement that the more
Kvous we buy Of foreign nations, the more
grain will foreign nations buy Of US. In
1887 we exported Of breadstuffs $lOb,7BS,-
OG2 aud imported foreign goods amount
ing TO $602, ,S10, ,70s- in 1889 we exported
Of breadstuffs St23,s70,001 and imported
from abroad S745, ,181,052. OF coin aud
bullion, in 1887 we imported S37OOO,OOO
more than we exported-In 1880 we OK
ported over $5O,OOO0OO more than we inn
ported. Yet our imports Of foreign mer-
chandise were S58,OOO,OOO more in 1889
than in 1857
And now wish to remind Mr.. Mills OF
an old adage--"H Is a poor r,tIe that 0m
not ,Oork both Uays." Consistency requires
that any tariff that France or Germany
may put upon breadstufts or grain, is paid
Dy the French or German consumer, and
hot BY the producer Of the grain, aud Is
imposed as were the British corn laws, to
protect their own agricultural interest,
by collecting bonus from the people at
large to encourage the agricultural inter

"Boholdl / show you more excellent
way" Tariff Reformerg universally base
their arguments upon the proposition
that there is "surplus" or "overproduc-
tlon" in both tood prOdUcS and mangfac-
mred gOods Is this true? II not, then
they start out upon false premises. Let
us see-Are there no hungry people in
the United States? Yes-there are any
where from two to four million men out
Of employment and an army Of women
and children crying for bread. Besides
this, nearly all the labor chat Is employed,
has TO stint itself in the matters Of food,
clothing and other necessaries, in order
to make both ends meet. IL there no lack
OF manufactured goods and merchandise
on the part of the peeple2 Yes-hardly
any one is able to buy what he actually
needs and there exist no longer, any such
conditions as freedom In purchases and
financial ease. The millions Of individuals
dependant upon agriculture for a living,
are unable 10 buy anything, although they
have produced enormous crops. In short,
productive and industrial labor, has to
practice the most rigid economy in order
to be able TO live at all.
What are the Causes and the Remedies2
will enumerate three Of the principal
Causes-1st. The Financial policy Of the
Nation, under which silver has been de-
monetized and the circulating medium,
or currency Of the nation has been reduc-
cd during the past ten years, at least one
third az relates to its ratio or proportion
to the wealth Of the nation and the vol
ume Of business. This policy, of itself,
ia sufficient to divide the nation into few
millionaires and millions Of paupers.
9nd. Extortions Of the lines Of transpor-
tation or railroads, by n system OF rates,
which enabled billions Qf cGpjtaI, which
has no legal or Legitimate connection with
the Railroads, to draw interest, through
them, from the people. The railroad
magnates have robbed the people during
the last ten years Of enc and hdB bill
ions Of dollars. 3rd, Trusts or Combines,
organized to kill the domestic competi-
tion which the tariff had fostered and
protected. Had the tariff killed comped-
ton, there would have been no excuse for
Trusts. Trusts regulate and control prices
by limiting and restricting production.
They limit production by throwing out Of
employment American labor thus Grip
pling their own industries and destroying
the home market for food products.
Under the present Competitive system,
what are the remediesY Free coinage Of
silver, and the redemption Of United
States bonds and National Bank currency
with full legal tender United States
IGreenbacks Either the Naturalization
Of the Railroads, and their operation at
cost; or rigid Governmental control OF
the same, which control should involve a
Government guaranty Of three per cent
upon actual cost Of construction and equip
meat The destruction of the Trusts, and
the employment Of every man that the
manufacturing industries Of the country
are able to put to work. They will buy
their own products and the farmers pro
ducts also. Farm products will raise in
price and the farmers will buy the goods
Of the manufacturer; and over-production
will become thing Of the past.

A Ravisher Shot Dead by the
Mad Husband Of His
Victim.

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, July 21.-
The steamship George W. Elder, from
Portland. went ashore two miles west of
Point Wilson this morning during thick
weather. The tide was we'll out, and
the vessel was nearly high and dry at
low water. All of her freight is being
discharged on scows and taken ashore.
The Elder lies within few fathoms of
the place where the bark David Hoadley
was wrecked several years ago. The
shore is very rocky and fully exposed to
heavy gales and seas direct from the
ocean up the straits. The vessel lies
brOadSide on shore and is in serious
position if storm or heavy wind
arises. Several tugs made unsuccessful
attempts to float the vessel. They will
combine their strength at the next high
water and endeavor to float the steamer.
Two revenue cutters are on the scene of
the disaster assisting in discharging the
cargo. The Elder was coming around
from Portland bound to Alaska with
full cargo of freight and full passenger
list. The bark Oakland, belonging to
the Port Madison Mill company, also
went ashore on Point Wilson this morn
ing in heavy fog. She mistook bear
ings and is in a dangerous position, but
will probably be gotten off. The Oak
land was from San Francisco bound to
Port Madison for cargo Of lumber.
The masters of both vessels assert that
the fog whistle at Point Wilson was not
blowing and claim that was the cause
of their misfortune. The keepers claim
that the whistle was blowing at regular
Intervals. An investigation will prOba
bly, be ordered.

was very grave, and w. E. Hale could
only talk about the lake. Assistant At
torney Baxter was serious and full of,
business. Eugene Hay looked on philo-
Sophically and Gen. Gotten appeared to
think everything was dead easy. The
prisoners did not appear at all alarmed,
and no one not acquainted with the
circumstances would have i'm
agined that the two men were
under arrest upon very SER
ious charge. The commissioner
lost no time in calling the case. The
attorneys for the defense wantedlat least
q week to prepare for a hearing, but
MesSrS. Hay and Baxter opposed this.
After hearing the argument from both
sides Commissioner MOrey announced
that he would continue the case until q
O'Clock Thursday afternoon and that the
amount of bail required would be $4,000
in each case. Runners had been sent
to the different members of the busi-
ness mems union and in short time
quite number of the prominent citil
zens OF Minneapolis put in an appear
ance ready to become surety for theiI
faithful servants. E. s. Corser and s.
G. Gale were the first to arrive, and the
commissioner after accepting them as
bondsmen took the train for home.
1t was rumored that several moro
warrants were in the possession of the
officers and the list of arrests to follow
is said to contain the names of very
prominent men. While the officers
naturally refused to divulge any OF
their official secrets they tacitly admit
ted that more arrests are to be made.

Pocahontas Has Another Excite

LYNcHBURG. Va. July 21.-Pocahon-
tas has another excitement. The town
was thrown into fever of excitement
last evening when a party OF men
from Mcdowell county, West Vir-
ginia, rode into the place and
began firing their guns promiscuously
in the streets. The town sergeant sum-
moned posse and attempted to arrest
them, when the invaders opened fire,
wounding several of the sergeants
force. After quite battle the officers
succeeded in arresting two of the
mob and lodged them in jail.
The rest of them escaped by
riding over the state line.
Later in the evening the rumor was cur
rent that an attempt would be made to
rescue the prisoners, and much excite
ment prevailed. The report became so
positive that the mayor ordered out the
military to be ready at moments no
tice. Up to an early hour this morning
no such an attempt has been made, but
the people are uneasy and every ap-
proach to the town is guarded.

TORONTO, Ont, July 21.- The GLOBE
advocates Canadian representation at
Washington. In an editorial this morn
ing it says: 1.-The employment of
resident agent at Washington as a sort
of wet nurse to strengthen rather
than impair the tie that binds us to
Britain, by enabling the imperial gov
ernment to conduct negotiations in
which we were directly concerned. with
full knowledge of the facts, would do
much topreyent the blunderng sacri flee
of our rights such as that which de-
prived US of a portion of what
is now the state of Maine and
of considerable territory on the
Pacific. Ii the British connection is
ever to be severed in anger, it will prob
ably be because the mother country has
agreed to some humiliating surrender
at our expense. If that were forced
upon her by regard for her own inter
ests we could only blame fate, but if
she tumbles onto it from sheer want of
light and information those who are OPP
posing the project under discussion
would have a good deal to answer for"

BIG GAME OF FREEzE-oUT.
Such Is the Mill Mems Strike at
Ashland.

Special to the Globe.
ASHLAND, Wis, July 21.-The best
aspect of the great lumber strike is that
the union men are behaving nicely, and
that fears which were expressed that
there would be serious trouble will
probably not be realized. Yesterday 600
of the men chartered boat and two
scows to be towed across the bay to
Washburn, there to meet fellow
strikers. But when the time came the
captain of the boat refused to tow
them, and consequently an Omaha
special train has been secured and a
colossal meeting of all bay strikers will
be held at Washburn tomorrow morn.
ing. President O'Keefe, of the union,
said tonight that proposition would
soon be submitted to the mill owners
Offering to take all contracts off their
hands at 25 cents per thousand less
than the contract price. or, in other
words, to run the mills themselves and
give the owners 25 cents per thousand
for the privilege. The whole situation
can be likened to big game of freeze
out 1t is merely question of time
now. At present both men and owners
declare they will not submit to any
other than their own views.

DOUBTS THE STORY OF WAR.
A Guatemalan Consul UnbosOms
Himself to the Press.

Himself to the Press.
NEW YORK, July 2l.-Mr. Baize, con-
sul-general for both Guatemala and
Honduras in this city, stated to re-
porter to-day that he had heard nothing
of battle between the forces of Guate-
mala and San Salvador. He placed no
confidence in the dispatches received
here. His last advices were some
where about four days old, and at
that time there was no mention of
battle being imminent. His advices
merely stated that the Guatemalan gov
ernment had sent a number of troops to
the frontier as corps of observation.
Gen. EZeta was said to be carrying
things with high hand in San Saliva
dor, and the Gnatemalan forces were
sent forward to protect their own terri
tory. Mr.. BaiZe said it was nonsense to
assert that San Salvador had 5000 men
in the field, and declared that they could
not have more than 1000 or 5000 in the
battle, if one actually occurred. On the
other hand he said Guatemala could
muster force of 10000 men we'll
equipped. Mr.. Baize said that the only
telegraphic communication between
Guatemala and this country is by way
of the cable from San Salvador to Mex !
leo, and that all dispatches run the risk
of being tampered with. He said
that San Salvador was under mar
tial law with a censorship of the
press that enabled people in power to
send out any information they pleased.
He added that the country was in
state of anarchy, and that the party in
power has not been recognized by Gaute-
mala, Honduras, Mexico or the United
States. He concluded by asserting that
there was no truth in the rumor that
either of the countries which he repre-
sents has any designs upon San Saliva
dor other than the establishment OF
