The True American Ring,

The speech of General James S Clark
son at the reception rendered him on his
safe return from Europe had in it that
broad spirit and true American ring
which touches mems hearts, If hearts
they have. AS President OF the Nation
al Republican League, his utterings nat
turally attracted attention In advance as
rejecting the spirit Of the great national
organization OF which he is the head.
He came back from his European trip
prouder than ever of America and Amer
can institutions. AS he happily said,
the American who goes abroad to study
other nations finds that the American ia
composite of the better races of Eu-
rope and the discovery tends TO broaden
him and make him still more an Amer

ness of our people The apostle of that
American idea is William Mckinley. We
greet him here, and In planting his elm,

conspicuously defended by him, we wish
him God-specd in his canvass in Ohio

TIC Farmers Arc III ppy.

! 1t rs long since the farmers OF the
United States had a more pleasant pros
pect opening to their eyes, and protec-
lion Is the magician that has spread the
enchanting scene. AS Senator Paddock
says, "All the world Is wanting To buy
grain, and we are the only people who
have 10 TO sell B."
Has protection created this condition?
Let Us See OF course, the large harvest
that seems imminent might have como
10 pass under free trade adminiS,ra-
tion as we'll as under a protective policy;
but large crop without a large market
for it is but minor blessing. Let us
consider the effect OF protection upon
markets
1. 1t has created q home market
which consumes about nine-tenths OF all
home farm products
.. BY its adoption I'm tho German en-
pire il has caused that country, which
exported grain while IL was under free
trade, 10 become an importer Of grain
now that protection has multiplied It's
factories and drawn labor from its farms.
Thus there is now larger demand for
American grain in England in exact
proportion TO the amount of grain which
Germany now consumes at home in
stead Of selling in Liverpool. There
also Is new market in Germany for
American grain; this, however, Is cur
tailed by the protective duty which the
empire levies on grain. But the demand
for the repeal of the duty on grain and
meat Is growing hot in Germany, and
the United States, by reason OF the re.
ciprocity clause of the Mckinley bill, is
able to offer TO the empire solution Of
its grain and food question which will
not involve departure from Its fixed,
and hitherto successful, policy OF pro-
lection. The United States Is In posi-
ton to offer continuance of free inn
portation Of German beet sugar in
return for free, or low dutied, admis-
sion of American grain and meat to the
empire
Nothing can be palmer than chat il
this country had n free trade policy II
would have nothing to offer to Germany
as compensation for the empires repeal
or modif alton Of its grain and meat
tariffs Protection in Germany has ere
ated demand for American grain
Protection in America has armed the
Republic with q weapon which may open
free or at any rate an easy passage for
Aperican grain 10 Germany
-. Protection, by its reciprocity clause,
hos opened Brazil TO free importation
Of American farm products. 1t has
made an enlarged expectation Of Ameri-
can farm products to Cuba certainty.
Nature is helping tho American prin-
ciple OF protection to bless the farmers
of tho Republic, for close on the heels of
the news of q demand for American
grain in Germany comes news of q short
crop OF Indian wheat All the world
wants grain, and America has lots OF it
to sell The farmers arc happy, and
they have to thank protection for q
largo share of their happiness Chicago

Information Worth Havinr.

The membe s OF the free-trade syndi-
cate Of falsehool are attempting to
make the American public believe that
the manufacture OF tin plate in this
country Is not likely TO be seriously un-
dertaken; that nothing has been done or
can be done toward making tin except
in small way, and that tina tin tariff
has been more than doubled without
creating any possibility that tin indus
try will ever flourish mere. The tin
tariff has not yet gone into operation,
but tie scofers ask, "Whero are your
tin plate factories?7 and hey say in
effect, Commence Immediately to turn
out tin enough to supply the demand OF
tho United States or repeal the tin
kftf." They cannot wait minute for
TIE establishment OF tin factories here
or scale as extensive as that OF Wales,
where the industry is the growth OF
centuries
In the meantime hero IS something on
the other side-not from Mckinley
sources, bat from oflicial British sources.
The London financial Times, which
will not be- disputed as authority, refers
to a report of the distinguished British
Consul at Chicago also pretty good au-
thority), as follows:
AZ recent report from Mr.. Hayes Sad
Ter, the British Consul at Chicago, con-
tains some observations on tin and tin
mining which will be read with interest,
I'm view of the new duties which are to
be levied next month on tin plates i'm
ported into the United States. Accord
ing to our Consul, tn plate manufacture
ing will soon rank among the varied
industries Of Chicago Sheets have
been timed, and returning has been
practiced In the States for some years
past, but hitherto the sheets have been
imported, and the labor employed, II not
imported, has been of foreign origin.
But this state of affairs, IL appears, is
not to last much longer.
This is wellsttidied and accurate
statement OF fact, given to the British
manufacturers for their information on
q subject of the highest BUSINESS i'm
portance TO them. 1t IL something more
than free traders partisan fabrication.

The Rev. DIR. Miner and Hum.

OF all the jokes that have been cracked
at the expense of public man in Mas
sachusetts none retains its original force
so well as that uttered by T.. A. Collins
when he said: abr. Miner would be a
very good man if he'd only let rum
alone"
Recalling the incident which led to
the JOKE. the reverend Doctor said the
other day TO 9 friend Of mine: "Mr.
Collins surely has never enjoyed the
joke more than / have. 1t was goo
one, and 1t still sticks.
Asked how Mr.. Collins happened to
say IL, the Doctor said: Il was arguing
before legislative committee in favor Of
the old prohibitory law. Mr.. Collins
was on the other side When he got an
opportunity 10 refer to me, he made use
of the words which are now as familiar
as proyerb. "-BOstOn Globe.

Farm Life in the GOOD Old Times

Under the heading, sour Farmer
Fathers" the Tribune Minneapolis,
says:
lit is sometimes we'll TO look back
over the road, take bearings, and meas
ure progress When we find farmers
and laborers politically IN arms against
alleged oppression and hard times, we
naturally turn to view the conditions OF
the good old times when everybody
was prosperous and contented.
The farmer of the day makes two
special comp!aints-high prices for what
he buys and low prices for what he sells.
How was it with our farmer fathers?
Take the staple dry goods article
calico. In 1870 it cost SO cents yard;
in 1890 90 cents; In 1860 IL cents; in
1871. cents
Take the staple grocery article
sugar. In 1900 it cost 1879 cents for
cheap brown grades; 1890, Is cents; in
1860, 10 cents; In 1891, 516 cents for
granulated.
~For what tho farmer sells, take the
staple dairy product, butter. The prices
In Massachusetts are as follows: In 100,
ii cents; in 1880, Is cents; in 1860, 20
cents: in 1891, 80 TO 35.
"1he staple meat product dressed
beef, in Massachusetts sold in 1890 at
only 31s cents; In 1880, ~ cents; in
1860, IL cents; in 1891, II to Is.
~Our farmer fathers of revolutionary
days whstled among the stones and
pumpkin vines of sterile New England,
attired in cotton jeans and shirtings
that cost so cents yard, slept on tick
ing at 90 cents, and, if rich enough,
wiped the perspiration from their brows
with handkerchiefs that cost 20 cents.
Their wives, if unusually stylish, paraded
in muslin at rs cents, ginghams at So
cents, and cambria at 81. Pins were Is
cents a paper; for matches, everybody
borrowed fire, and for farm implements
and machinery the hoe and scythe were
as all-important as to-day's sulky plow
and self-bnder. What the farmer sold
brought not much more than one-half
what it brings to-day, and what the
farmer bought cost more than double
what it costs to-day"

DeeperAie Liars Undonn.

A favorite dodge of the frec-trade
journals has been to send their agents
out to localities whore tin-plate works
are in process of construction. These
agents have sometimes found large areas
of ground covered with lumber and
bricks and mortar, with carpenters and
masons' busily at work, but they have
found no tin-plate in process of manu-
facture, and have returned and 80 re-
ported. Then these journals have BIOS

Hints for Fall Travel.

There are many who from choice
or necessity select the months of
September and October for their
holiday.
Excursions to the White Noun
tains from all parts of New Eng
land, and from some of the Middle
States, are annually planned for
those months, and trips to the far
West and the Pacific coast are
numerous at this season of the
year.
In many sections travellers have
the benefit of special low rates
pade by the railroad company,
from September Ist to November
Ist, reduced board at the summer
hotels and boarding houses, deligh-
full weather for exercise and noun
tain views, and a Gorgeous coloring
of nature which cannot be surpass-
ed by any other season of the year,
and if you are perplexed as to
where you should go take our ad-
vice and go by the Ontario and
Western Railroad to Sullivan
Co., N. Y, especially that portion
of it about Liberty, where you will
find the best of hotels and the
grandest autumnal scenery; or go
anywhere along the Delaware divi-
sion of the Erie.

Five Persons Fatally Injured in q
Railroad Wreck.

A passenger train bound toward Denver
on the Graymont division of the Union Pa
cifc Railway was wrecked near Beaver
Brook Station, Col, and twenty y-three pas
sengers were injured, five of them fatally.
The train was late and running very rap
idly, when, rounding sharp curve the ex-
press car left the track and rolled down q
fifteen foot embankment. 1t was followed
by the mail car and two passenger coaches,
one of which turned over twice before reach
ing the bottom. The water in the
stream was rushing along in a torrent and
the cars were carried along with it a long
distance. The list of injured would have
been much smaller but for the diff
Guilty experienced in rescuing those
imprisoned. In some instances
the rescuers were badly in
jurec by being hurled against the houlders
in the creek. The train was loadel with
passengers, many of whom were Knights of
Pythias returning from the State Conven-
tion, which was held at Aspen. The serious
ly injured were left at Golden in the hands

OFF TO THE FAIR.

I'd been working hard all winter,
And harder still in the spring,
Waiting patiently for the good harvest,
That the summer heat would bring.

When the fruit and the corn was all in;
For all work without any fun, boys,
Amounts to positive sin.
Well, long toward the end of September
We scarcely knew where we should go.
Till one day saw in the RECORD
A notice" of the Inter State show.
My cousin who lives down at Trenton,
Had asked US last year to come there,
money,
If you visit the Inter State Fair ="
l saw on a poster next morning
A list of the things you could see
So after chat with the wife, boys
| said, That's the racket for me-
l always was fond of trotter,
And read that the best would de there
And balloons, and Jeakle's small ponies,
Would exhibit at the Fair.
l saw they'd engaged the dog trotter,
That can step at three minute clip,
And hosts of other attractions,
To add to the fun OF the trip.
And they have a show of fine horses.
Cattle, sheep, poultry and swine,
And then in the crowds, | should surely
Meet many neighbor of mine.
So twas settled we'd spend our vacation,
And the dollars that we had to spare,
And get the best value for money,
At Trenton's S Great Interstate Fair.
