Labor Cost of Iron ami Steel.

The report which has inst been
made by Carroll d. Wright, United
States Commissioner OF Labor, on the
entire cost of production of pig iron and
steel in the United States, Great Brit
ain and the Continent of Europe,
throws some needed light on question
which has hitherto b. en- clouded by
ignorance or self-interest. After an
exhaustive investigation the Commits
siOner finds that the complete cost of
producing ton of pig iron in the
northern section of the United States is
S13 "a; in the southern section, S10.76.
and in Great Britain, $40 %. In steel.
rail production the cost in the United
States ranges from S24 so to S27 90 per
ton; in Gre at Britain from SIS 90 to
to S20,1s, and on the Continent OF
Europe from Sl9.5S 10 S26 IL. This
shows a smaller margin between the
expenditure in this country and In
Europe than has been generally know.
The direct labor cost, however. reveals
"a still narrower margin. Taking rep
reseDtative values, the actual la Dor
put in ton of steel rails amounts t.
Sll.59 in th:s country, $50 i'm Cont.
mental Europe and 81 81 in Great Brit
ain. In this latter comparison Great
Britain, which is our only important
competitor i'm steel rails, has an advant-
age of US to the extent of .7S ton.
These figures, which are unparIisap
and reliable, afford a fair basis on
which To calculate the rates of duty
which are required. Andrew Carnegie
was reported to have said about IA year
and a half ago that the American
manufacturers of steel rails would
flourish ii the impost on that product
were reduced to SO a ton. These fig
ures show that the expert was SAT ly
within the mark i'm his assertion
The manufacturers, however, protested
against any such cut as this, and the
steel-rail duty i'm the present tariff is
$1344 a ton. Undoubtedly half this
duty would be sufficient tn ford all
the protection which is really needed
or which ought to be bestowed. Man
ufacturers have been telling the coun-
try that all they seek in the domestic
market is such an impost as will shield
them from harmful competition from
the other side of the Atlantic. They
merely ask, they say, for rates which
will bring the cost of the foreign arti-
Gle up to the level of the home product.
In the case of steel rails this advant-
age seems TO be provided three times
over. The steel rail men, though,
have hardly any especial advantages
over some of the other manufacturers
Most of the leading protected procucts
of this country are protected to an un-
reasonable and oppressive extent.
They are given an amount of prOtec-
ton which fosters combinations and
monOpolIes, and which destroys or
neutralizes the benefits w hich protec-
ton was originally designed to provide
to the people.-Gl0bf- Democrat.

worrying About the Doctors Absence.

An amusing feature Of the campaign
is the anxiety on the part of the demo-
cratic schemors for the general health
of the community. Met on every hand
by declarations in favor of DR.. Brooks,
the republican candidate for represen-
tative whose popularity is as wide ana
far. reaching as his acquaintance, they
are now wondering what his patrons
will do in the event of his absence. In
some localities they have presumed up
on the intelligence of the people ana
stated that his election will mean an
absence of two years. This has been
believed in some instances, and in one
case at least voter seriously thought
of casting his ballot for the opposing
candidate for the simple reason that he
did not wish to be deprived of the ser
vices Of his favorite family physician
for term us he supposed of two years.
1t is needless to state, perhaps, that
representative is not absent from home
more than sixty or ninety days in two
years, The silly story they are telling
shows simply they are finding 1t impos-
sible to stem the tide in favor of DR..
Brooks, the popular man, the humane
and skilled physician, But the doctors
good aud steadfast friends will not be
caught by such chat

The Lights Accepted.


At n special meeting Of the City
Council last evening the new electric
light plant was accepted from the con.
tractors, the Electrical Engineering and
Supply Company, of st, Paul. There
are now sos lights, for which the town
paid In settlement, $5,721.50, being con-
siderable less than the contract price,
which called for 200 lights but the COM
mittee thought it judcious not to put
in lamps in excess of the capacity of
the dynamo, which Is 500 lamps. 1t is
thought that the demand will be for
more lights than can be supplied by tho
present plant, in which event private
capital or the contracting company will
be pleased to take hold of the enter
prise The town is unable to enlarge
the plant as IL has not the means.
The Audubon plant IL the only one
in the atate put in by the Electrical
Engineering and Supply Company, aud
IL is but justice to say that it is nc.
knowledgcd by all our citizens to be
the best electric light they have ever
seen. Many who were opposed to tho
enterprise are well pleased with II since
It's excellence has been demonstrated.
In short the people of Audubon believe
they have the best light in the state,
and are 80 well pleased with the con.
tracing company rs to recommend 10
to other cities. The light is brilliant,
unwavering yet soft rs moonlight itself.

The National Republican Meeting.

| WASHINGTON, Nov 24.-The important
| step taken by the Republican national COM
mittee during to-day's session, was the
| reference TO the executive committee, with
full. power to act on all matters con-
| nected with preparations for the
| next convention. The executive committee
| decided to assume active direction of the
| matter itself and arrange Tor the hall,
| printing of tickets, appoin tments of SER
| geant-at-arnS and deputies, ushers and door
keepers for the convention. 1t will also
take charge of the preparation and publ
cation of a stenographic report of the
proceedings of the convention. conference
was had Immediately with some of the citi-
zens' committee of Minneapolis, and direc-
tons were given by the executive commit
tee for preparation as soon as possible OF a
| diagram of the convention hall, showing
the number and location Of seats, etc.
Mr. Charming F. Meek of Colorado was
elected by the executive committee as SER
geat-at-arms of the next national conven-
ton. At 2:30 this afternoon the national
committee again assembled to discuss rou-
tine business. the only feature of
public interest being a conflict between the
two elements of the Republican party in
Utah. After a short consideration of the
matter the committee settled 1t by adopting
the following resolution:
Resolved, that the committee elected by
the convention of delegates at Salt Lake
City September 2, 1891, were good Republi-
cans of the territory and the committee
from Utah.
Resolved, that we recommend to all men
of Utah whose ideas of national
government and policy are in
harmony with the national Republican
party that they now bury their local differ
ences and unite to rescue their territory
from the danger and dishonor of future
Democratic control.
Then followed succinct statement frc1n
each of the committee of the condition of
the party in the various states and
its needs and prospects. These We're gen
orally hopeful in tone and were received
with enthusiasm by the committee. as well
as by some members of the executive COM
mittee of the national Republican league
who were admitted to the hall to assist in
the party council.
Ex-Governor Blanchard of Louisiana,
however, varied the sameness of the ad-
dresses somewhat by INDUCING in a fierce
attack upon the white Republicans of the
South. whom he held to be responsible for
the lack of virility of the party IN
that section of the country, and whom
be charged with suppresSing the negro vote
for fear of race issues He held that their
pusillanimous policy had resulted in untold
party losses, and maintained that
few vigorous contests and a manifestation
of their rightful power by the Southern
negroes would have q wholesome political
effect and rescue the rebel Southern states
from Democracy.
1t was announced that a meeting of the
executive committee would be held within
two or three weeks upon call from the
chair to undertake the work preliminary to
the convention, and at { O'Clock the national
committee adjourned sine die.

Conservative Meeting.

BIRMINGHAM, Nov. 24-This city is
crowded TO the utmost extent with dele
gates to q conference of the national union
of Conservative associations. The hall was
packed this morning where the conference
was called to order, and all the streets in the
neighborhOod We're crowded with admirers
of Lord Salisbury. When that gentleman
drove up, accompanied by his wife, his APP
pearance occasioned great excitement.
At 1920 the vast gathering was called to
order and routine business was hastily dis
posed of.
Lord Windsor was elected president for
the ensuing year. a number of vice-presi.
dents were then elected, after which a res
olution of congratulation to Right Hon. Ar
thur j. Baifour, late chief secretary for
ireland, upon his promotion to the position
of first lord Of the treasury, was proposed
and adopted.
Resolutions looking toward the disestab-
lishment of the church i'll Wales were then
presented and adopted.
The following resolution was also
adopted:
Resolved, that having regard to the ex-
traordinary disproportion in the representa-
ton OF England, Scotland, Wales and Ire
land in the imperial parliament, it is most
desirable that steps be taken to redress
these inequalities.

Sentiment of the West.

The mining congress was in session at
Denver, Col, on the 10Th and Goth instants.
and resolutions were adopted by a vote of
4S1 to s declaring that the convention was
in favor of bi-metalism as approved by
Hamilton and Jefferson, and enacted in the
law in 1898, and accepted by the country for
all public and private business for the first
eighty years of our country's history. They
also declaTed in favor OF a silver dollar con-
tanning 1925 grains of standard silver and a
gold dollar containing 25.S grains of gold,
which is ratio of sixteen to one, and is the
standard adopted by the European nations.
They declared against the alien act which
prevents foreign capital investing in min
ing bonds in a territory and against any ac
ton which would result in the confiscation
of the Pacific railways or the mineral lands
within their grants. The West is certainly
in favor OF free silver, and the West husties
when it wants anything, and manages to

watterson's Financial scheme.

Special TO the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-Mr. Henry Wat
terson is bound to be original if anything.
He lately made an address in which he
favored the appointment of a board of ex-
perts by the government to go West, ex-
anime all the gold and silver mines and cal
culate how much gold and silver was con-
tanned in the earth there, and, upon that
statement having been made to the treasury
department, the United States government
should issue legal tender notes representing
the entire value of the gold and silver. He
did not suggest that this gold and silver
should afterwards be taken out and stored
in government vaults, nor did ne propose
that guard should be placed around it to
prevent other people from taking it out.
He seemed to assume that Mother Earth
would be about ds good place TO hold the
gold and silver as the treasury vaults. This
plan of his goes beyond the most ardent
wishes of the fiat money man and would
provide enough currency beyond any doubt
for all the uses of the people.

LAREDO, WEBB COUNTY, Tex, Nov. "a -
There appears 70 be something curious
about the official report sent into San An
tonic from Fort Mcintosh Eat this point"
about the injury of the United States pri-
vate soldier, Michael Barrett. by Mexican
guard in the civil prison in Nuevo Laredo
on the 10Th of this month. AS the report
appears in print the soldier made an
assault upon his guards because he had
been subjected to brutal treatment at their
hands. At the time the affair occurred no
importance was made of it. Some of tho
members of the United States army arc
often under the influence of something
stronger than water, and they have been
punished for such offenses. The civi:
prison at Neuvo Laredo is always under
the control of the soldiers and they always
guard it. If q prisoner refuses to go in a
cell allotted ne is forced into it. Col. Nor
rows first report, not official, states that
the offender was in fault, which was prob
ably correct 1t is an unfortunate
affair and much to De deplorsd.
The Mexican soldier who used his
bayonet IS under arrest and is to
be tried in Monterey. and Barrett is to ap-
pear as witness against him. This matter
will doubtless be investigated thoroughly
and the United States soldier will get full
justice without fail and no talk of an inter-
national question need be INDUCED in. Ref
erences are respectfully made to the recent
Chill question.

San ANTONIO, TEX, Nov. 24.-News from
the state of Durango, Mexico, says the total
failure of the corn and bean crops in this
state, owing 10 the drouth, is causing in
tense suffering among the poor. The price
of corn has risen to an enormous figure
selling in some parts of the state at over 81
per bushel The laboring element OF Du-
range have neither work nor food. 1t is
most pitiful to see whole families, covered
with few rags and half dead with hunger
dragging themselves into the mountains,
where they hope 10 prolong their lives by
feeding on tunis, the fruit of the cactus.
The better classes who are SO fortunate as
TO have food are compelled to guard the
supply closely TO prevent the furnished herd
from robbng them of it. Only the severest
measures of the government soldiers keep
the people in subsection. The rich and the
church of this country are utterly indiffer.
ent to the starving poor.

The state of Tennessee is in considerable

one knows that the miners in the Eastern
part OF the state released over five hundred
convicts and tore down or burned the build

these convicts have been recaptured, and
the lesees are claiming that they must have
the. quota they bargained for from the
state. II the state attempts to put five
hundred convicts within the three mines

force to enforce tina. decres i: it should
make it It would be folly Upon the part of
the state to attempt the impossible. If
good counsel prevails the state will repeal
the convict lease law ana put its convicts
to work on whatever they are capable of
doing, paving them precisely the same
wages that similar work is performed for
on the outside of the prison, deducting
from that the cost of their guarding. food,
clothing and medical attendance, reserying
the remainder for the use OF their families,
if they have anv, or for the convict himself
when he is released from prison. That
would be the sensible way OF settling the
difficulty
