Vote for
One List
For the Union Labor candidates

A symbol placed after a party title or
designation as above, would DE a vote for
all Of the candidates Of that party, unless
symbol should have been placed against
the name of a candidate Of another party.
Tho would of course prevent so
many blank ballots being cast
as turned up in the last election.
The author of the bill believes that
by placing the party designation ct the
head of the ballot with a provision for
marking that every eIeetor may be in
duccd 10 vote a full party ticket Of some
kind, unless he desires to vote for can
didates Of different parties, in which case
the name must be marked as now.
While this provision is made for the
placing party designations at the heads
Of ballots to be used at general
elections, the bill provides that
such designations shall not be
printed on ballots to be used at municipal
judicial or school elections, the design
being to remove party strife as far as pos
sible from the election Of such officers. The
designation Of the organization nomina-
ting candidates however as democrat

case may be is to be placed after Che can

PRODUCED b PROTECTION.
Some Good Effects of the Republican
Doctrine.

One new industry has been started at
Fall River, in the way of a spool thread
mill, which will be known as the Kerr
spool cotton thread mill. This is one Of
the new plants of protection which is like
ly to remain on this soil ever more. This
is the third the side of the broad gulf, and
like its predecessors we hope it will spread
and bear good results.
A syndicate of English capitalists has
accepted the offer of the Dover Del,
board of trade to locate new plant for
the manufacture of silk textiles in that
town. The acceptance is conditional upon
the Dover people guaranteeing enough
hands, 800 people, to operate the mill.
Dover people would like to be blighted
some more by the destructive influence OF
the protective tariff.
The rapid increase in the wealth bust
ness and prosperity of the United States
during the last ten years is simply mar
velous. The total wealth of the country
is now 81 ,459, 100000, equal to nearly
81 900 per head. This is an increase in ten
years of $4,000, 100000, or AZ per cent
England's wealth in 1885 is given as $780,
000,000,000 giving an average wealth
per head of 81 .545. The average in Scot
land is sl2l5 per head, and Ireland $685.
The total wealth Of France is estimated at
S36 900, 900, 900. England exacts in taxes
$50 per head Of population, while each
individual in the United States pays but
$3.50. America will produce 5000, 900
tons of iron this year, while England
production is 5000 900.
Despite complaints Of those who always
look on dark side of things, our country is
progressing even in the matter of getting
out of debt, In the twenty years since
1870 the federal debt has been reduced
from 81, 1861 600 900 to 1888, 600, 900. The
state debts have been reduced from 1882
100000 to sl52,000,000 County debts
have been reduced from $4,000, 600 to
Sll5, 600, 600 In the meantime our pepB-
lation has increased from IS, 1000, 900 to 81 70
100000, so that the per capita indebted
ness, including that OF municipalities, is
only SIS against nearly S76 twenty years
age. During this time 1000 900 homes
have been secured by the economical and
industrious, and hundreds Of millions
of dollars have accumulated in saw
ings banks. How much Of this econom-
ic progress is shared by each one is {.
serious question which every man and wo-
man should ask themselves.

So far as il is possible to prove any
thing by facts and figures, this table de-
monstrates that our foreign marke5 Is
steadily diminishing, and that Russia is
taking our place. II is remarkable how
uniformly Russia's share has increased as
our shipments have decreased. In 1880
we supplied 65.42 per cent. of the English
imports, md Russia only 493. The next
year our share dropped to 64.05i Russia
rose to 5.75 The following year we drop
ped to 5572; Russia went up to 1901.
At the end of another year we
had fallen to 4757; Russia had
risen to 1891 In 1884 we rose again and
reached 1874, and, behold! Russia went
down to 8.34 In 1885, however we went
down again TO 1870, and, as might be ex
pected. Russia rose accordingly to 1886.
The next year we reached 59.l7; Russia
went down to $50. The following year
is the only apparent exception to the law,
our share slightly rising, accompanying a
slight rise in Russia's share also. But the
next two years show its operation most
plainly our share falling from 6265 to
1916 the following year and to 38,45 the
year after, while the Russians share rose
from 7.09 to 27.72 the next year, and to
2S.09 the next-that is in 1899
The ruiuous prices at which our wheat
was offered during these years, while
our share in British imports Of wheat and
-four was steadily falling from 65.42 to
38.45 per cent, and Russia's share rising
from 33 to $500 per cent, should I'M
press upon our farmers the hopelessness of
looking for relief from their difficulties in
acontinuation of such grinding competi-
ton. Nor should anyone neglect to read
another lesson conveyed in the figures,
which teaches the utter absurdity of the
theory THAI our shipments of wheat to
England have been cdrtaied because we
have not purchased more literally from
England The fact is that nation which
strictly enforces a much higher, an almost
prohibifory tariff and purchases of England
only a sixth as much as she sells to England
has been steadily forcing our wheat out of
the Liverpool market.

the attorney for the defense, and who then
informed Judge Jenkins Of all the clrcum'
stances connected with the case. After
this had been accomplished De Ford
was permitted 10 enter plea
of guilty. His wife hal occupied q chair
next TO him. but when the court was
ready TO pronounce sentence she was es.
corted by Marshal Wiswell to an adIoln-

a picture forcibIy Illustrating the weight
Of quilt. The utmost quiet prevailed IN
the room. Judge Jenkins spoke about
fifteen minutes and in his resume be also
mentioned the creditab'e conduct OF the
prisoner since the exposure, Speaking Of
Inc motives for the crime and claim adj
ysnced by his friends, that mental
weakness had been tie pilfaIl in this
ease, the Judge said that justice could not
prevent the defendant serving as q warn

for the unfortunate wife and the four
children should also have kept the de-
fendant fran doing wrong which 1T
was his duty as preacher and az a man

FLAN AND LIN EN.
Some Interesting Facts in Regard to These
Products.

Certain mugwump papers have made it
their hobby to continually keep before
their readers elaborate demonstrations of
the impOssibility of domesticating the flax
and linen industries in this country. They
have insisted all along that the duties adj
lusted to this end would only succeed in
unlustly burdening consumers Of linen
goods. We submit the following extract
from the Minneapolis Tribune of De-
cember "a, for their thoughtful considera-
ton:
Charles r. Chute has returned from
bis trip t. Scotland and Ireland, and
j. Carmichael Allen will be here in a few
days. Both return ehock full of enthusi-
asm over Minneapolis bright prospects
as linen manufacturing point. Mr.
Chute announces that the machinery has
been purchased. expert operatives en-
gagged and everything arranged 50 that
the mill can begin work in March. At
the start the mills will employ 100 persons
besides the experts. The enterprise is one
Of vast moment both to Minneapolis and
TO the farmers Of the northwest. To MIN

Industry that will in time furnish employ
meut to hundreds ana perhaps thousands
~ hands. To the farmer it means a
market for new and valuable crop The
culture of fax for fibre will be a profitable
addition to his resources. Diversified
farming is one Of the great needs of this
region, and an enterprise that makes a
market for new product is blessing to

Mr. Chute also reported that the pros

Justice Brown today rendered his opin-

supreme court. He delivered two opinions
of which the more important was in the
case of Geo H. Cope VS. Janet Cope and
Thomas H. Cope, brought here on
an appeal from the decision Of the
supreme court of the territory of Utah,
The question involved was whether or not
q son by a polygamOus marriage can have
the right of Inheritance from the father,
it being claimed that he was illegitimate.
The court holds that the SON 10y a poly
gamous marriage did have the right, and
reyerses the judgment of the territorial
court. The court says that the Edmunds-
Tucker act declared Legitimate all the
children Of Mormon parents that had been
born within less than twelve months from
its passage The object, the court says,
was to make these unfortunate children
the especial object of care and to make
the parents relinquish poIygamy 10y fixing
period until after which their offspring
should be Legitimate.
