In ode pms Buchanan's lime.

Congressman Crisp of Georgia who
Is not FREQ trader, Is nevertheless
bidding for FREQ trade votes 10 elect
bim speaker OF the next House. In II
toccnt speech uitAr saying mo party
in this country favors free trade he
said:
Thirty years ago our manufactures,
our agriculture and oar commerce
ilourished, general prosperity prevail
ed, wealth was ditlusad among the peO-
pie. Taxes were low and all men
could find steady employment NJ reas-
enable wages. To-day this IL not 50.
This was plainly I'm erroneous state
ment. Tho American Economist has
investigated the matter aud finds that
the winter Of 1854 and 1910 tho
want was So intense and general in
New York city that both winters soup
houses were opened 10 alleviate IT, and
in the fall Of 1893 work was com
menccd on the Central Park TO give
employment 10 suffering laborcrs at 80
cents for II hours work. Twelve
hours was pretty steady employment,
remarks the Economist, but whether
or not 80 cents per day Is thought,
reasonable wages depends on whoth-
or u man is II free trader or not. =" Al
tho came time the farmers received ten
cents u bushel for corn and paid from
s2.75 TO 81. rs per barrel for salt. So
bad was the condition OF the country
that President Buchanan in his mes
sage Of 1860 said:
With unsurpassed plenty in all tho
elements OF national wealth, our manu-
facturors have suspended, our public
works are retarded. our private enter
prises Of different kinds arc abandoned
AMI thousands Of useful laborors are
thrown out OF employment and reduced
to want.
That was the real condition 81 years
ago and it hardly agrees with the
statements Of Mr.. Crisp. of Georgia,
in his clnt New York speech. Iowa

A Few Tariff Figures.

In May, 1890, our imports OF wo-
meas and children's dress goods
amounted 10 5,279, 0s3 square yards.
This was several months before the
passage of the Mckinley bill. In
May OF the present year MS the result
1f that bill, the import of thes, goods
Tell to 2,8l3, 6i5 square yards, de-
crease OF nearly fifty por cent. II
IN ght naturally b. expected that tho
great decrease In the amount Of the
fore!gl composition in these goods
would have put up the price OF them
TO our consumer. This result might
have happened had not the domestic
production been so stimulated by the
greater protection afforded by the Nc
Kinley bill that the eject was really
to reduce the price. In May, 1890,
these goods were selling at an average
price Of twcntJ cents per square yard.
In May OF this year the price has fall
en- to an average OF eighteen cents per
square yard. This is evidently an
other case in which The Mckinley
high prices lie has been proven to
lhNc DSeH nittc Oub VI Wiolc C'oJu.
The free trade papers are very much
exercised 10 explain the effect OF the
increased tariff Imposed by the McKin-
Icy bill on linseed oil. Bat few
months ago they were citing the high
price OF this commodity as an illustrl-
ton OF the evil effects OF protection.
Before the enactment OF the Mckinley
i'll tho tariff was twenty-five cents a
allon, and the price rose as high as
ixty-iive cents a gallon. That bill in
creased the tariff TO thirty-two cents,
and the price has fallen TO forty-fve
cents a gallon. The Democratic pa
psrs now say that the increased tariff
arrested the consumption OF the article
and induced the use OF substitutes for
It. hence the price fell. But even so,
they cannot get away from the fact
that The reduction in price is primarily
due TO the much-belied Mckinley bill.

ALLEGED CRO0KEDNESS.
Bank Books Said to Have Been
Changed.


Another story of queer financiering
came out at Philadelphia. The Ma
tiOnal Bank of the Republic, of New
York, recently entered suit at Phila-
delphia against Ephraim Turland to
recover an amount due on certain
promissory notes, of which Tnrland is
the maker. In an affidavit of the de-
Tense, filed, Turland says he never re-
ceivcd any value OF any kind from the
note, it having been obtained from him
by fraud and misrepresentation on the
part of President Kennedy of the
Spring Garden bank. At the time OF
the money stringency he was one of
the directors of a bank which has since
failed, and Kennedy represented TO
him that owing TO the stringency Of
the money market the bank was bor-
rover of cash temporarily from the
clearing house until their assets ma
tured, and in view of this it would be
wise to strengthen loans by deposit
of special commercial paper and for
this purpose Mcfarland made the note
in question and several more on Ken
nedy's promise that the paper would
be protecUed at maturity and returned.
Turland goes on to say that he knows
now that the bank at the timo was
fraudulently insolvent. That Kennedy
and two other directors had borrowed
$3.50, 900 of the capital stock of the
bank, and in conclusion says the books
of the bank were criminally altered to
deceive the bank examiner.

REPUBLICAN TRUTHS.
Is This a Republican Ycarp

The states OF Illinois and Iowa are
covered with splendid crops. Never
has one seon more wonderful growth
Of vegetation than can now b. found
in these two states. Through tho
eastern ana middle states and in Ohio
and Michigan tho hay crop is we'll

these states has so s,unted the growth
OF grass that IL is doubtful II over one
third of crop Is cut Many fields
will not yield half u ton to tho acre,
and largo percentages Of them will
not pay Tor moving NJ all, In lndi-
ana the hay crop is bott3r, and in llli-
nois and Iowa tho yield OF hay per
acre will bc immense. These two
states have had too much rather than
too little rainfall Corn also look )
very promising. Oats are in danger
of falling down on account Of the
great growth of straw. Wheat, bar

cut and tho crop is very fine one,
This bids fair to be u year OF bounti-
ful hurvests for the entire west. Go

"Why am a ProtectionIst. y

Because protection steadily enlarges
the home market for farm products.
England buys the worlds surplus
wheat She demands "a big loaf for
tupenc,.n Accordingly, she gluts her
markets from every source and usually
is able to dictate Improbable prices
for American grain.
When our exportable surplus is
large prices are rarely good; when
small, always; so that, strangely, n
deficient yield is sometimes good luck
for the farmer.
Well paid wage-earncrs are gener-
Gus consumers.
Protection alone insures American
labor against European pauper wages.
When, under protection, American
industries shall employ bread-eaters
sufficient to consume American cereals,
then the farmer will no longer sell his
grain at cost OF production or less.
He will escape the competition of thu
ryot and the serf. His industry will
be profitable calling honore1 and
truly independent. by Hon. l.. X.
Casey, United States senator from
North Dakota, in the American Econo-
mist.

HARVEST SUMMARY.
Condition of Various wheat Crops

Tho London Times summarizes the
harvest prospects OF the world rs fol-
lows: In Russia there is grave de.
felt, the peasuntry IL starving and
there is small hope OF relief. In India
there is serious snXiety; famine pre-
walls over u considerable portion OF
the country; Madras Rajputana and
and the Punzale are the worst suffice
ers. Drought in Bengal and need OF
rain most urgent. Bombay alone
promises II good harvest. Americas
harvest will be good in quality and
amount but with failure Of Indian
and Russian supplies, the utmost i'm
portance is that the English crop will
not be short, On the whole tho pros
pect is good In the chief wheat coun-
tries. The Essex. Norfolk and Suffolk
crop is above the average, and in
other countries up TO the average.
harvest will be late and prices high,
consequently there is good outlook
for the English to break the long
series of disastrous years.
