THE BULLS WARNED.
No Reason For Famine Prices in Grain
Hungarian Reports Misleading.

No Reason For Famine Prices in Grain
Hungarian Reports Misleading.
VIENNA, Sept 1.-The international
grain market for 1891 opened here with
a large attendance. Herr Haardt, from
the department of the chief of the min
istry of commerce, in a speech made
during the opening ceremonies, dwelt
upon the special Importance of the
present market from the fact that its
task or object was to devise means
of supplying the shortage of grain
existing in the large centers. The
dealings were limited and there was no
spot business in wheat
Surprise was expressed at the extent
of the American and Indian harvests,
the yields being greater than were ex-
pected. The Hungarian reports on the
worlds harvest are said to be mislead-
ing.
There is a general impression that
the total yield of the different countries
is pretty fair and that famine prices
will not prevail unless produced by
powerful rings and booms which will
have only temporary effect On the
other hand ruinously low prices are
not likely to be seen again for few
years in spite of the fact that the en-
HANGED prices will induce a larger
cultivation of wheat

BOND REDEMPTION.
Secretary Foster Thinks the Amount Pr

Secretary Foster Thinks the Amount Pre-
sented Entirely Satisfactory.
WASHINGTON. Sept 1.-The amount
of AZ per cent bonds Continued at 2
per cent yesterday was S4S1, $50, max
ing a total to date of S23, 221, $50 This
leaves about 81, 900, 600 outstanding. 1t
is impossible at present, however, to
make any definite estimate as to the
amount of these that will be presented
for redemption, as the time within
which they may be continued at per
cent is to be extended to a period not
yet fixed.
Secretary Foster said that he thought
that between $50, 900, 900 and S25, OOO,-
900 AZ per cents would be presented
for redemption. This would be en-
tirely satisfactory to the department
as it would force that much money in
to circulation at time when there was
great need of it in moving crops. The
disbursement of this sum of money
would not embarrass the treasury de-
partment, as there was S106 900, 900
available, including disbursing officers
balances and exclusive of the 500, 900, =
900 gold reserve. He said that a circu-
lar would be issued extending the time
for continuing the bonds.

WAGES, FIFTEEN MILLIONS.


At Least That Much Yearly to Workmen
Directly notwithstanding Those En-
gagged in Allied Industries the Pay Roll
Would Have Been Double That sum Had
We Produced Last Year All the Tin Plate
We Purchased in Wales.
There were imported into the United
States in the twelve months ending
April so tin and terne plate to the
amount of 422, ,2S4 net tons, having a
declared value of SIS, 325, 295.
What would it mean to the United
States if this tin plate were produced
in this country instead of being i'm
ported?
In the discussion of this question
shall use the best figures Obtainable,
and while they may not be absolutely
accurate, they are approximately so,
and near enough for all practical pur-
poses.
To produce this amount Of tin plate
would require, roughly, $50, 900 tons of
pig iron. But four states in the Union
Pennsylvania, Ohio. Alabama and Illi-
nois-prOduccd as much pig iron in 1890.
This is equal TO the average production
of twenty modern blast furnaces work
ing an average of three hundred days a
year. 1t has been estimated that it re-
quires, at blast furnace, on an aver
age, a days work of man to produce
ton of pig iron. 1t would require,
therefore, to produce this amount of
pig iron, 55O,OOO days work constantly
of one man at furnace, or say, the
work of l, S33 employees working 300
days in year.
1t requires two tons of iron ore to
produce a ton of pig iron and for the
fettling necessary in reducing ton of
pig iron to sheet. To produce this $780,
900 tons of pig iron that will be con-
sumed in the production of the 422, ,2S4
tons of tinplate would require, there
fore, 100, 900 tons of iron ore. This is
two and one-haf times the product of
all the iron mines of New Jersey; it is
six times the product of the iron mines
of Missouri Taking the census of 1880
as a basis, it would seem that it re-
quires days work to produce ton of
ore. Therefore, to produce the amount
of ore necessary to make the amount of
pig iron that would be used in the manu-
facture of the tinplate referred to
would require 100000 days work of
one man, equivalent to the work of
1896 men working 800 days in a year.
Assuming that it requires IL tons
of coke to make a ton of pig
iron there would be a demand
for 100000 tons of coke. This
is in excess of the production of every
state in the Union exceptPennsylvania,
West Virginia and Alabama To make
this coke would require over million
tons of coal To mine this coal and
make this coke would require at least
six hundred thousand days labor of one
man, or the labor of 2, 600 men 800 days
in year.
In addition to this there would be re-
quired for fuel in the sheet and tin mills
over 1,5O0. 600 tons Of coal, or its fuel
equivalent, equal to $50, 900 days labor
of one man or the labor of 2, 500 men
800 days in a year.
This 422, es4 tons Of tinplate would
require say 400, 600 tons of sheet iron or
sheet steel This is equal to nearly
half the total production of sheet and

CONSPIRACY AGAINST BLAINE.

Senator washburn Believes That a Plot
Exists to Defame His Physical Condi-
tfUn.
CHICAGO, Sept L-Senator Washburn,
of Minnesota, who is on his way home
after a long tour in Europe, said yester-
day: "a desperate attempt was made
to convince the world that Mr.. Blaine's
health was broken and that his brilliant
mind had failed They are trying to
ruin Blaine's reputation not only in this
country, but also in Europe. 1t is a
noticeable fact that all attacks on
Blaine are printed at length in all
English papers. Before I sailed l saw
Mr. Blaine at Washington. He told
me he was in excellent health.
When 1 read these stories in
English papers, I at first paid
no attention to them. Coming
back from Cape North, got copy of
the London Times. The first thing
saw was a flaming dispatch from Bar
Harbor, announcing that Blaine was
dying. l cabled Senator Hale and
promptly got a reply that Blaine was
steady improving. But was scared,
and so were all the Americans in
Europe"
In conclusion the senator said he was
of the opinion that nothing but death
or peremptory refusal to run could pre-
vent Mr.. Blaine's nomination by ac-
clamation.
The senator believes a free silver bill
will be passed by both house and senate
ut it will be vetoed by the president

Serious Loss of Life BY Violent TyphOOn
in the China Seas.
VANCOUVER, B. c., Sept by the
steamer Empress of japan, which beat
the Pacific ocean record by eight hours,
news was to-day received of a great
typhoon in Japan.
This typhoon struck the steamer on
the evening of August 16 and lasted till
the night of the following day. The
German vessel Helen Rickmers was
driven ashore from an anchorage
and thrown high and dry upon the
shore, where she now lies almost a
complete wreck. Twenty or thirty of
her crew are believed to have been
drowned While the typhoon was in
progress the lighters which were bring
ing her cargo and provisions were
washed away, number of men being
drowned.
Great damage to property and life
resulted all along the shore. 1t is be-
heved that the loss of life will be $50
mostly Japanese and Chinese sailors
The typhoon was the most violent that
has visited Oriental seas for years.

ANTIPATHY 10 pIAZ.
The President of Mexico Accused of Bal
macedaism.

macedaism.
SAN Francisco, Sept Private ad-
vices from the City of Mexico state
that the outcome of the war in Chilli Is
anxiouly awaited in Mexico, and that
in case the insurgents win the result
will hasten the revolution now
smoldering in the land of the Aztecs.
The letter, which comes from an old
prominent citizen of the City of Mexico,
puts forth the situation as follows:
Diaz is in truth the Balmaceda OF
Mexico and is guilty of nearly the same
offenses against human liberty as is
Balmaceda. Diaz has suppressed all
public meetings and all newspapers an
tagonistic to him and his policy. He has
collected taxes and disbursed public
money without authority. He has
throttled free speech and free press in
Mexico and has put to death half
score of Mexican journalists 1t will
not be many days before a serious blow
will be struck by the people against
the dictatorial reign of Diaz-
In furthering his personal interests
Diaz is charged with combining with
foreign capitalists and accepting bribes
from foreign corporations in return for
valuable concessions. While he has
become man of great wealth the peo-
pie of his republic have grown poorer
and poorer.
As the leader of the liberal party
and against the clericals, Diaz has
gradually become more and more un-
popular with the masses, who are
Catholics and members of the clerical
party The fact that the natives are
with the clericals makes the antagon-
ism to Diaz overwhelming. Ever since
the marriage of Diaz to an American
Protestant the wrath of the masses has
been nursed, but it has grown until
now it can be kept within bounds no
longer

This is equivalent to 5,649, 800 days
labor. This, at an average of $3.50 per
day, would be equivalent to S14, 124,O
paid out in wages. The fact that the
declared value of the amount of tin
plate above named was SIS, 325, POS will
show that my estimate is probably far
below the mark. 1 think it would be
fair to assume that fully twenty thou
sand people would be given employment
directly if the amount of tinplate

more than four times this number of
