Missing.
PURCELL. l. T.. Aug. 2S.-While ex.
ploring a desolate patch of timber on
Firms creek, fifteen miles southwest OF
this place. seeking a route for new
road, Thomas Sparks found large black
valise hanging to limb Of tree Sc
curely fastened with wire.
Noticing piece of white paper flut-
tering from the end of the valise Sparks
took it down and found that the paper
had been torn from an old envelope and
on the inside was written in a raain
hand: "John T. Bowen, Webb City, DO,
Jasper County, came to his death by a
scare. You will find me in this branch. :"
This was written in struggling man
ner all over the inside of the piece Of
envelope, which had been securely fast
ened by closing the valise upon it. On
the outside of the paper was the receiv-
ing stamp of the Purcell post-oai
dated April 2, 1890.
The valise was brought here and de-
livered to Commissioner Hooker. 1t
was found to contain a good pair of
pants, white shirt, collars, cuffs and
underwear and number of other arti.
cles. The clothes were for a man be-
low the medium size, the shirt and col
lar being No. Is and the pants 81 in the
waist and 80 in the leg.
A party left for the scene yesterday
and will search carefully for some solu-
ton to the mystery.

IT'S THE LAW OF CHRIST.
Explaining the Single Tax to Baptist
Ministers.

Explaining the Single Tax to Baptist
Ministers.
On Monday last. the 9TH inst. Mr..
John White and the writer, by invita-
ton. addressed the Baptist ministers of
Chicago and vicinity. We were received
with great cordiality and listened to at
tentively. The points we urged were
that while we did not ask the clergy to
join us in political action except as we
asked them as individual citizens to do
SO. We solicited their cooperation in
making clear and vindicatin9 .hs moral
principleS.which underlie our movement
Enumerating as these principles: That
the right to live implied the right to
4 place to live: that the right to liberty
involved the right to the uses of our fac
ulties. and therefore the right of each in
dividual. limited only by the rights of
all others. to the use of the earth: that
the right to the pursuit of happiness. de-
pending also upon the exercise of our
faculties, involved freedom of access to
natural opportunities. The point was
also made that the products of labor be-
long of right to their producers, and that
as one individual had no right to take
from another any part of the product of
his labor, government. being merely
representative of individuals. could have
no delegated right of this kind.
We were listened to with marked at
tention. One minister present raised
the point that while he did not question
the general principles advanced as to
our right to the means of existence, he
thought that government had a right to
demand from citizens payment for SER
vice rendered in the protection of prop
erty. The point was met by Mr.. White
| by the statement that if society created
values which were sufficient to provide
for the protection of property. that it
was unjust to levy upon wealth which
| was the product of individual labor
Some Methodist ministers were pres
ent who expressed the desire that the
| single tax be presented before their
clergy. for which an opportunity will
probably be presented after the summer
vacation.-J. 7. Ripley, Chicago.

Representatives Tho Lie and blows

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S-The ill feel
Ing developed in the House by the fill
clustering over the Compound Lard bill
led to personal ARRAY yesterday after
noon. between Representative Beck.
with. of New Jersey, and Representa-.
tive Wilson, of Washington. The roll
was being called upon ruling by
Speaker Reed respecting the calling to
order by Representative Enloe, of Ten.
nessee, for words spoken in debate.
Representative Mason. separated from
Mr.. Cannon by the width of one of the
sections of seats, was criticising the lat
ter for the tone of his remark. to which
Mr.. Enloe objected. In the row of seats
between them sat Representatives Beck
with and Wilson, on either side of Rep
resentative Lehlbach.
They all took part soto voce in the
controversy, when suddenly Mr.. Wilson
and Mr.. Beckwith were seen to rise. and
the former struck at the latter. lightly
touching him on the breast Lehlbach
sprang between them, and Mr.. Wilson
was unable to reach around him. Rep
resentative Williams Of Ohio. anxious
to stop the ARRAY, seized Mr. Beckwith
and forced him into his seat with con-
siderable vigor. At this Mr.. Beckwith
turned his attention to his supposed as
sailant in the rear. and it required the
efforts of two or three Republicans to
prevent collision. Mr.: Williams sue
ceeded in assuring Mr. Beckwith that
he had no hostile intentions, and the
latter resumed his seat
The incident was over in a few
seconds, and added but little to the ex-
element then existing on the floor, but
it was the occasion for jeering laughter
among the Democrats, who witnessed
it. The eagle and mace Of the sergeant
alarms were hurriedly borne to the
scene of the conf ct, and at its appear
ance all was quiet
Representative Wilson said after
wards in explanation Of the difficulty
that Mr.. Beckwith had applied most
offensive epithet to him, and on the
spur of the moment he had struck him.
Representative Beckwith stated that
Mr.. Wilson had, in the course of their
talk upon Mr.. Cannon's resolution of
yesterday. called him liar. whereupon.
in the heat of a quick temper. he had
applied the same epithet to Mr.. Wilson.
Mr. Beckwith expressed his regret that
the occurrence should have taken place.

The wages of men, bows, women al

The wages of men. boys women and
girls are not separated as in Great Brit
ain. but in the cotton goods industry
81. Oh per cent of the employees are fe-
males; in the wooden industry, IS. 40 per
cent; in worsted. 56.77 per cent, and
in linen, So. 50 per cent
So it is easy to see that wages in Mas
sachusetts mills. even where half the
operatives are women and children, are
much higher than the wages of men
alone in England.
The only way in which American
workmen can avoid the English scale of
wages is to vote against the English
policy represented by Democratic can

THE GREENBACK PARTY.
National Convention ut Indianapolis to Con-

National Convention at Indianapolis to Con-
slider the Situation.
lNDIANAPOILS. Ind, Aug. 29-The Ma
tiOnal Greenback convention began here
yesterday, but the number present was
only about enough to fill country
school house. About fifty people as
sembled on the front seats of the hall
Outside of Indiana New York sent the
largest delegation, sixteen in number.
The remainder were scattered pretty
evenly over the United States.
Colonel Jones, who took charge of the
convention, pointed out the dangers of
sectionalism and scored both of the
great parties for both what they had
and had not done. He advocated
financial policy based on q fixed volume
of paper money. regulated by law. He
said the business of the convention was
to prepare series of questions to put
to candidates of the old parties in dis
tricts where the Greenback party had
none, apd lastly to bring about COM
plete reorganization of the National
Greenback party throughout the whole
country.
Mayor Middleburg, of Delphi. was APP
pointed chairman and made a vigorous
protest against the monOpolies and all
forms of trusts. A love feast followed.
The reports Of the committees on res
olutions was the signal for several
scrambles- The majority report was
the only one of Importance adopted. 1t
was in substance that the money COM
ing into the Treasury from tariff and
internal revenue should be used in the
payment of public debts until the cir
culation should reach $50 per capita
and that the Government expenses
should be paid in full in greenbacks.
1t also favored united action with all
third parties that should agree on the
fundamental principles that Greenback
policies were the speedy and practical
way of providing good money.

OUR FOREIGN COMMERCE.
1t Is Larger During Protection Period,
Than Free Trade Times and il Increasing
Per Chpita Annually.

1t Is Larger During Protection Periods
Than Free Trade Times and Is Increasing
Per Capita Annually.
There are three facts-which any one
may ascertain by consulting the official
reports-that utterly disprove the posi-
ton taken by tariff reformers respect
ing our foreign trade.
First, our manufacturing industries
have not yet supplied our home market,
as manufactures valued at more than
$3.50, 100000, that ought to be made
here. were imported last year.
Second. no foreign nation buys of us
simply because we buy of it. but every
nation buys where it can purchase to
the best advantage, having regard to
price and means Of transportation.
1t would seem as if the fact that in
the last fiscal year the United Kingdom
bought of us products to the value of
1878, $3.50, 13l, while we bought of the
United Kingdom products to the value
of only SITS, 269, O61; and that in the
same period we bought of Brazil pro-
ducts to the value of $50. 4O3, SO4, while
Brazil bought of US goods to the value
to the 'if-you-don' t-buy-of-me-I-won't-
buy-of-you' theory of foreign trade.
And third. our foreign commerce. as
measured by our exports and imports,
has been proportionately larger under
our protective policy since the close of
the war than under the revenue tariff
policy before the war, and has increased
more rapidly in the last quarter of a
century than that of any other nation
In the decade from 1851 to 1861, under
tariff constructed on the theory that
it is benefit to the country to dimin-
ish duties on articles which we can
make or produce here. our average an
nual foreign trade. j. e.. exports and
imports, was S20.6T per inhabitant In
the protective decade from 1871 to 1881,
our average annual trade rose to S2S 43
per inhabitant-an increase of so per
cent. more than our population.
In the twenty years from 1860 to 1881,
during four years of which our hands
were tied by destructive civil war. the
foreign commerce of the United States
increased 95 per cent, while that of the
United Kingdom increased only so per
cent Surely, facts are more valuable
than mere theories.
The increase of our foreign trade un-
der protective policy is due to two
features Of it which the average free
trader ignores He ignores the fact
that while this policy does restrict i'm.
portations of articles which we can and
ought to produce ourselves, it at the
same time opens wide the door to i'm
portations, free of duty. of articles
which We cannot produce; and that the
prosperity engendered by the possession
of our home markets for our own indus
tries and labor enables US to become
larger purchasers Of such free articles,
and Of other articles of luxury than be-
fore. The consequent result is An in
crease Of foreign trade. but under such
conditions as to retain our home mar
kets in large part for our own industries.

Protection in Australia.

All the Australasian colonies Of Great
Britain. except New South Wales, have
adopted protection. and that one will,
probably, at the next election. Free
traders have often cited the prosperity
of that colony in proof of their theories,
and have compared unfavorably with
it the protection colony of Victoria.
But as usual they were misinformed or
were misinforming others The London
Fortnightly Review, though an ad-
herent OF the British policy. has an ar
ticle on these Australasian colonies, the
pith of which Is thus stated:
To sum up. the protective colony is ahead
in agriculture, ahead in viticulture. ahead
in growth OF population, ahead in railway
development, ahead in banking. ahead in
large manufactures, and in the number Of
workm.n employed. ahead In enterprise
and capital, ahead in general prosperity and
progress, aad finally, although behind in
mineral and pastoral wealth, its artisans and
peasantry-in n worl, its entire rroIetariat,
the bone and sinew of country, are per-
baps the most contented and prosperous in
the world.

The Globe-republican., 1890-09-03

In short the protective policy aims to
increase foreign trade by importing
more of what we cannot produce and
less of what we can and ought to pro-
duce for ourselves policy which adds
to our own prosperity and increases our
ability to buy
The tariff reform, or free trade policy,
on the other hand, aims to increase for
eign trade by importing more of what
we can and ought to produce ourselves
policy which diminishes our prosper
ity and ability to buy just in proportion
as imports displace the products of our
own industry.
To illustrate: The Mills bill, which
placed duty of 6S per cent on sugar
and reduced the duties on many classes
of manufactured goods which we can
make here, would have unquestionably
increased the imports of such goods, and
displaced domestic goods at least $780,
600 900, but at the same time would have
restricted imports of sugar.
The Mckinley bill, if enacted into
law. will unquestionably reduce the
impOrtatiOns OF goods which we can
make here more than $50, coo, 600, but at
the same time will increase the imports
of sugar. jute, jute butts. MANILA and
other articles placed on the free list as
many millions.
Our foreign trade. so far as imports
are concerned, would be the same in
either case, but the consequences to the
country would be as wide apart as are
ruin and prosperity:
The one policy seeks foreign trade to
the grave injury of many of our home
industries: the other wins as wide, and
eventually wider foreign trade by pro-
noting our own industries, and holding
our home market for what r:ghtfully
belongs to u.s.
