The duties imposed by the Mckinley tariff will raise the average rate in me United States to over 10 per cent, thus placing us next to Portugal In this re- spect
 The Mckinley tariff is regarded by its makers to be the lowest tariff consistent with our prote tive policy such being t5e case, the United stat s and Portugal are the only truly protective c9untries; while of all other countries Russia ap- breaches nearest us in this respect In accordance with the doctrines or Mckinley, all other countries have free trade tariffs Ii Germany and tranee, with duties averaging ( Fl per tent. and O. l3 per cent, respectively, are 10 be considered prote tionist countries, how can Mckinley justify an average rate on both free and dutiable goods Of over 70 per cent as tut fair protection for the United States?
 The above figures give a conclusive answer to Mir Mckinley's statements that high tariff does not restrict Tor eign trade. The feebler European eoun- tries, as shown in the above table, have combined population of 30s, GOO, 050 and import annually s, 5sS, ,000.000 or mer- chandise. The first four nations having strictly revenue tariffs, their comblned duties averaging only 3.91 per cent, have only 16. per cent. of the population and ovor 8 per cent. of the total commerce.
 T he next three countries. or Austria, France and Germany, with tariffs which are argely for revenue and but slightly protective, their combined duties aver- aging only per cent, have 41 per cent of the population and A. s per cent of the commerce.
 On the other hand, Italy, Portugal, and Russia are, like the United states, highly protective, their duties averaging over 30 per cent, have over 40 per cent of the population and only r.. per cent of the total imports.
 Briefly summarized, the amount Of imports per head of population is as fol- 1ows.
The Forrest City times., 1891-10-30

Can any evidence establish more con clusivelv the destructive influence Of high tariffs upon commerce? Leaving out of consideration the effect of high tariffs upon the advancement of nations in civilization, why should we follow the policy of Russia and Portugal, and re strict and pervert the development of our enormous resources?

The Home Market for Wheat of Which
 Protectionists Boast.

In March, 1890, the statistic an of the Department of Agriculture published a report showing the production and dis trie ntion of the wheat crop of 1888. In ths report he gave away" the home market which protectonsts boast has been established by high tariffs. The following are his figures, graphically illustrated:

 of which ls1, 750,07s bushels were con- sumed by the farmers themselves in the county where grown,
 and 54,ol2, ,702 bushels were used by the farmers for seed.
 E7 Of the remainder, ss6O0,743 bushels were exported,
 leaving 9l, 504, 437 bushels, a part of which was held in reserve, part con sumed in markets claimed by no one to have been built up by protection, and the remainder consumed in home mar ket provided by protection.
 ss In 1888, or siXty-two years after Clay launched his American Systcmn to provide a "hone market for our sur plus farm produce, we ind that the boasted home market takes less than } ] per cent of our crop of wheat, exclusive of that reserved for seed, while We con- tinue to export over 24]s per cent. of it.

Republicans at Springfield At
tempt to Spring a Coup.


SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Feb. IS. - The
eighty-ffth joint ballot for United
States senator III the joint assembly
showed break in Republican and F.
NJ. B. A. ranks. The ballot resulted as
follows: Palmer, 101; Oglesby. 81; Lind
ley, IS: STEELE, 2; l.. c. Hubbard, /; C.
B. Farwell, |; NJ. w. Matthews, l. and
p. p. Donnelly, l. The Republican
party went to pieces In the joint as
sembly to-day. All those members who
have protested against the Republican
boom for Representative Moore. the F.
NJ. B. A. man, took occasion to adj
minister a rebuke to the Republican
steering committee. This rebuke to the
party leaders was all the more severe
because it was totally unexpected.
The Republican steering committee,
when the roll call was ordered for the
first ballot, attempted to spring a little
surprise. Instead of continuing for
Lindley, the mandate was silently cir
culated that the president of thief. NJ. B.
A. should be dropped. and the name of
Richard j. Ogelsby, the regular party
nominee, substituted Many Repub-
licans who had not been consulted in
the proposed change of programme,
repudia ed the mandate of the steering
committee, and voted their individual
preferences. Senators Humphrey and
knopf were the first to cast their votes
for Lindley in defiance of the steering
committees mandate, and so unex-
pected was their action that the COM
mittee could not realize that it was not
due to misunderstanding but a
moments consultation with the
gentlemen. soon convinced them that
they had lost their control. Cockrell,
not to be outdone by the Republicans,
ignoring the F. NJ. B. A. nominee,
STEELE, voted for Lester G. Hubbard,
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1891-02-14

editor of the Farmers Voice, of Chi
cago. The vote of Representative
Miller, of Cook, for Charles B. Far
well'' was greeted with applause from
the numerous friends of the Illinois
senator. Representatives Moore and
Taubeneck Of. NJ. b. Al voted for the
regular candidate, STEELE. On the eighty
sixth ballot the Republicans all came
into line for Lindley, and the vote was
as follows: Palmer 101, Lindley 100,
STEELE 2, Hubbard /. The subsequent
ballots up to the ninety-thlrd were with
out material change. After the ninety
fifth ballot an adjournment was taken
till tomorrow.
The excitement during the latter part
of the session was added to by the fact
that one of the Republican members,
Mitchell, was pronounced to be in dan
er of dying. His physicians said he was
suffering from Pneumonia. He occupied
sofa behind the speaker, and appeared
to be growing worse. His eyes pre-
sented peculiarly glazed appearance
and his feveriSh breath came in sudden
gaSps. His Republican colleagues were
truly alarmed at his condition, and
sought again and again to secure an ad-
jourDment, but the Democrats voted
s0lidly against it. with one of the F. M.
b. a. men, and the other two voting
with the Republicans, the attempts
were defeated by a tie vote until after
the ninety-tifth vote had been taken.
The Republicans have succeeded in
poStpOning the decisive senatorial bal
lot for few days and are much elated
thereat. They induced the F. NJ. b. A.
representatives to give them a few
more days in the hope that the Repub-
lican steering committee might be able
to swing the full strength of the party
to DR.. Moore. Astute politicians
think this is vain hope, but
the Republicans are far from conced-
ing defeat. The f. M. B. y. delegates
are divided. On no ballot to-day did
the three men vote as unit. Moore
and Taubeneck stuck together, but
Cockrell voted for three different candl-
dates. The Democrats assert that he is
prepared to vote for Palmer whenever
Moore will do likewise. A telegram was
received to-day by Chairman Fuller, of
the Republican steering commit
tee, stating that a fusion legls-
lative committee had left Pierre,
S. D., for Chicago to try to confer with
ture to carry out the reciprocity scheme
which has been discussed recently. The
Democratic leaders deny that they have
any appointment, but confess they are
willing to do their utmost to aid the
plan. Chairman Fuller says if the dele
cation comes to Springfield he intends
to try and capture them for the Repub-
hcanS.

SOUNDS NATURAL.
Union Men Block Work on the
Worlds Fair Buildings.

CHICAGO, Feb. 13.-The work of grad
Ing in Jackson park in preparation for
the worlds fair, is at a standstill.
Late yesterday afternoon a lot of
idle Workmen, finding that they
were unable to induce the Italians
who were at work to strike for an ad-
vance in wages, attacked them and
drove them out of the park with kicks
and cuffs. This morning the crowd of
idlers gathered in the park, to the num-
Der of 700 or more, and maintained such
a threatening attitude toward the Ital-
lans that the contractors thought it best
not to resume operations. Some
union carpenters engaged in building
Offices and stables were not molested.
The contractors say they will wait till
