AN ILLUSTRATION.

Protection stimulates home manu-
features. 1t shuts out the obtruSive fell
lows from abroad, and stirS others to
compete in the home field. The fruit of
unrestrained competition is the close
margin and lower price. That is the
way the protectionist figures it out He
has explained it several times. There
are some bitches in the scheme in
practical evolution, and one of those is
the natural and prevalent disposition to
avoid competition and low prices by
combination and trusts. The tempta-
ton to improve this opportunity for
monopoly of the home field, made pos
sible by the excessive duties, is seldom
successfully resisted. When a few in
dividualS or corporations hold out, the
first business of the combination is
to compel them to come in under
the menace of ruin or sell out their
plants to those of more plant minds.
he watch manufacture affords an illus
tratiOn. By the perfection of machin-
cry and skill, American watches can go
over the world in competition with the
manufacture OF any country. They
need no tariff fostering. Still the archi-
tects of the MCKINLEY bill imposed a
duty of p per cent on watches and
watch movements. The watch trust is
not in the infantile stage. 1t has been
in prosperous business for years. But
1t has had annOyances in the perversity
of few who remained outside or de-
serted it. One of these, which operates
on large scale. perhaps had touch of
conscience, as it left the trust some time
ago. 1t had the discourtesy to put
upon the market full-jeweled move
ment OF as good quality at $3.50 less
than the trust price. This was not only
ungrateful toward those who had Gre
ated the opportunity to pick the public
goose, but was eXasperating to the trust
pickers. They have resolved not to for
bear longer, but to drive the obstinate
competitors to an assignment. The
Elgin and Waltham companies are the
chief leaders in the trust war, and thew
have made cut of 20 per cent on theit
movements. 1t is expected that the
great factory aimed at specially will
soon be forced to close up or sell to its
rivals. There are but fifty iobbers in
the country who handle the trust watch
movements, and they are to be made
good by the trust. For time the pub
lie will realize some advantages in the
cut, but it will not last long, and in the
end the tleecing can be made more com
plete than ever. This is not one of the
most important cases in which the pub
lie is affected, but it serves as a fair
Illustration of the operation of the Nc
KINLEY system. Prices are fixed, not
by natural laws of trade, but by the
greed of the manipuIators, and the
tendency is to crush out the small man
nfacturerS and give the entire swing to
the big, fat fellows.

AMBITIOUS NEBRAsKANs.
They Hope to Sound the Repub-
lican Keynote for 1892.


LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. 3d. The Re
publican state convention meets in this
city tomorrow to nominate candidate
for justice of the supreme court and two
candidates for regents of the state uni
versity and to promulgate a platform
which they hope may so reflect the bet
ter judgment of the Republicans of the
nation as to become the basis for the
platform of the presidential convention
of 1898. Situated near the center of the
United States, surrounded on two sides
by agricultural states and OH two sides
by mining states and having metrop
oils which owes its prosperity largely
to manufactures, railroads and packing
houses, the people think their friendli-
ness to all these diversified interests fit
them to enunciate deliberate declara-
ton of principles which may become
the shibboleth of the party in 1898.

Ni'KiNLEY IN IOWA.
Hawkeye Republicans Listen to
His Tariff Hobbies.

OTTUMwA, To-, Sept. 23.-There was
the greatest outpouring of Republicans
to greet Mckinley at the coal palace
since Grants last visit. Fully $4,000
people were on the streets of the city
during the monster procession. At the
palace Maj. Mckinley spoke two hours
on the tariff and silver, reiterating
much the same argument as in his Ohio
campaign. After the coal palace speech
he made short address in a stand near
the park. In the evening a Republican
camp fire was held in the palace and
reception rendered Mckinley. Speeches
vera made by Allison. Henderson,
Gear, Lacy and Mckinley. One of the
significant inscriptions on a banner in
the parade was "Gov. Mckinley Will

SHAKESPEARE VS.. THE BIBLE.

Some good, pious-lOoking ladies at
the RICHARDSON readings of SHAKE
sPEARE Tuesday night were heard to
remark that they could not be induced
to attend theater where such scenes
were portrayed with the explanatory
lines of King LEAR. They indicated
that their moral and esthetic senses
would be sadly shocked, although it
was not explained how the stage set
tingS added to the pernicious speech.
In one of the prominent cities of Penn
sylvania excitement is raging over the
proposition before the school board to
substitute SHAKESPEARE for the Bible
in the public schools. The committee
reported in favor of the change, and it
was at first adopted with no strong op-
position. But this situation did not last
long. AS the news went out the
excitement grew, and the wave of
righteous indignation swept over the
town and came into the board,
SHAKESPEARE is fol- the time under the
table, and the Bible on top. The prop
osition was termed blasphemous Still
the board is not quite relieved of en-
barrassment. Some are Catholics, and
would have their version. Others in
sist upon the revised edition, and
Jewish member does not want the New
Testament used. All the members of
the board are friends of some part or
form of the Bible. These practical diff
ficulties have in some other cases led to
the exclusion of the Bible entirely. The
&c,
current life. and perhaps suggesting the
solution of the future, when it may be
decided that BACON, the wise man of
his age, was the author of the greatest
dramatic literature of the world.

THE HARVEST FESTIVAL.

The day has been when there were no
triumphs except the triumphs of war.
That was the day when the prosperity
of one state meant the decay of another,
and when nations watched each others
widening borders and growing COM
merce with jealous and anxious eyes.
Patriotism then was hatred of foreign
lands as mueh as it was love of ones
own, and a stranger and an enemy were
the same in the popular tongue and
thought. A nations progress was pur-
chased by the conquest of its foes,
and the names which were craven
on history's page. were the names
of men who had withstood the in
vader's host or had gone abroad win
ming fame and fields for their country's
rule. Tie wealth of states was accu-
mulated then not in the marts of trade,
but QUO of the tribute of the vanquished
and the loot brought home by victorious
captains from the temples and store
houses they had dismantled. The
songs of rejoicing which were sung in
those days were songs of blood, pillage
and the slain. The trlumphal process
.sions which passed along the streets Of
ancient principalities honored the de-
stroyer, not the creator, of wealth. The
worsted enemy Oh whose neck rested
the heel of his cOnqueror was the most
conspicuous feature of the pageant, and
the Spoils of his ruined kingdom were
the chief objects Of the spectators adj
miration and delight. Bards and poets
were inf1amed to their most tuneful
notes when the carnage and the slaugh-
ter had been greatest, and the harvest
which was commemorated with the
gayest festival was the harvest of death
and destruction.
Happier times have dawned upon the
earth, and the achievements of peace
are now the incentives to jubilee. The
wise people of the world flock together
now to contemplate not the wonders of
ruin done, but the development of in
dustrial life. Engines Of war and
soldiers trained to their use are not the
objects of popular delight, but engines
devised to further the purposes of trade
and the swarthy workingmen who ma
nipulate them. Labor-Saving machines
and implements which increase the eff
ciencies and facility of physical effort;
inventions which render possible proc
esses and results hopeless heretofore,
and cheaper and better methods Of pro-
duction which place in the hands of the
many comforts which before belonged
only to the few-theSe are the features
of the modern triumphal parades which
excite the plaudits and enthusiasm Of
the spectators. The hero of the passing
hour is the man capable of producing,
not the man great at destruction. The
highest rewards in life are to the cap
tains and generals in the hosts of toll,
not to the kings at the head of armies
and battles. The occasion for demon
stration and rejoicing is 10 longer the
route of ones enemies and the over
turning of their citadels. The harvest
of rich fields, heavy laden and gath
cred in the fullest abundance, to be
spread out again all over the wide earth,
is the harvest which is signalized by
professions of rejoicing people. The
Harvest Festival of Minneapolis yester-
day was a proud instance of the best
spirit of these modern times.

BLAINE AND HARRISON.

The man who has seen the inside of
the BLAINE mind is on anonymous duty
again. His vision has rested upon a
delicate and settled purpose not to be in
the way of HARRISON, and to put the re
solve into visible ink in January. The
determination has been formulated in
the heated term, but the coolest weather
is wanted for its delivery. The philos-
ophy involved is not apparent to the
unaided eye, but will perhaps be
evolved in due time. There is no in
tention that physical insufficiency is in
volved; in fact, the narrative glowS
with enthusiasm over the sturdy vigor
attained. The dwelling of the secre-
tary at Washington has been swept and
garnished, and he is Very soon to bound
into it in hot eagerness for full time
work. But the first of October is likely
to slip by without his presence
al Washington. A month later is more
apt to find him there. He enjoys being
an uncertain quantity to the public.
Some dramatic and sensational element
would be lacking if he were so prosaic as
to fill his own dates, or do the expected
thing. AS the conduit of the Good
Shepherd of Gotham eXudeS the It'd
ingS, it is heretical to doubt that HAIR
RIsoN and BLAINE are in such mental
and emotional unison that separation is
painful. Still, it is remembered that all
the cabinet members but BLAINE Wis
tied the chief at Cape May, and very
active social movements were credited
to the BLAINE man at the time. Then,
when the president was in New England,
it was given out that he would wend his
way to Bar Harbor in the intensity of
his solicitude for the health of his sec
rotary. A host of reporters camped on
the trail, but to their great disgust it
did not lead into Maine. The pathetic
scene that was to illustrate anew the
reciprocity of great minds did not ma
terialize. Perhaps there was mutual
reluctance to display their emotions he
fore the public eye. Mr.. BLAINE may
take his name out of the hands of his
friends in January, but the presidential
mind would have an increase of placid
ity If 1T could see the draft of the letter.

barred out. 1t is understood that the
duties were raised on the personal So
licitation of President Daz, in order
that the Mexican reciprocity commits
