The Tariff bill of 1890 gives better
protection to farm products subject to
foreign competition than they ever
had before, and ihc home markets for
such products have been enlarged by
the establishment of new industries

may confidently submit to the intelli-
gent and candid Judgment of the
American farmer, whether in any
corresponding perioG so much has
been done to promote his interests.
and whether in the continuance and
extension of these methods there is
not better prospect Of good to him

cratic party to give oar home market

revenges and perpetuate feuds. It is
especially the duty of the educated
and influential to see that the weak
and ignorant, when accused of crime,
are fairly tried before law tribunals,
The moral sentiment of the country
should be aroused and brought to bear
for the suppression Of these ofIenses

THE SIX GREAT COMPANIES
Issue a Proclamation to Their Chi
nese Subjects

The Consolidated Benevolent Associ.
alton OF the Six Companies, power.
ful organization, better known as the
the "Six Companies" which com.
prises all the wealthy merchants of
the country, together with the Chinese
consular officers, who regulate the
affairs of the Chinese in this country,
has issued proclamation from head.
quarters in San Francisco forbidding
Chinese in the United States to com.
ply with the terms of the Geary bill
requiring them to register, have them
selves identified by two white
witnesses and be photographed before
April Is, 1898.
The proclamation states that the
masters of the six companies, after
careful investigation, have found that
the registration is Objectionable and
detrimental to their interests. 1t con-
.tiEues:
"Our countrymen must live in
these United States without being
registered. If one should be registered
on his own account he must not come
to us in case he gets into trouble in
this country. The Six Companies will
pay no attention to him if he does.
When a man does register he loses his
respectability in the eyes of his coun-
trymen. This applies to Cinnamon
living in any part of the country and
in small villages as we'll as in large
cities. If by refusing to register
man is arrested, imprisoned or punish
ed, he can depend on the Six Com.
panies for relief"
The proclamation states that the
Chinese will be required to organize
and subscribe money for the employ
ment OF legal aid, and, if necessary,
secure the services of Chinese am.
bassadors to fight against this alleged
injustice. Two lawyers have been
engaged by the Six Companies.
Each Chinese resident OF the United
States is required to pay 81 to the Six
Companies for the expenses of the suit
to test the legality of the registration
law and this money must be paid i'm.
The Chinaman who does
not pay will be prevented from re-
turning to his own country when he
applies to the Six Companies for his
pass. The proclamation concludes by
saying: "The United States does not
treat the Chinese right, because it
no other nation to do such
things and no other nation in the
world treats Chinese as the United
States does." =

PROSPERITY OF THE COUNTRY
Destructive Policy Proposed by the Demo-
cratic PARTY

The general condition of our coun-
try is one of great prosperity. The
blessing OF God rested upon our fields
and upon our people. The annual
value of our foreign commerce in
creased more than $4OO,OOO,OOO over
the average for the preceding 10 years,
and more than $2l0,OO0,O 900 over 1890.
Last year was unaffected by the new
tariff. Our exports in 1892 exceeded
those OF 1890 by more than. $l72, ,O00,-
600, and the annual average for ten
years by 1865 100000. Our exports of
breadstuffs increased over those of
1890 more than $144 ,OOO,GO of pro-
visions over 81, 100000 and of manu-
factures over $S,OOOOOO. The mer-
chandise balance of trade in our favor
in 1892 was 1902 ,944, ,342. No other
nation can match the commercial pro-
gress which these figures disclose.
COMPASSION FOR CALAMITY sHRIEKERs.
Our compassion may well 60 out to
those whose party necessitates and
whose habits still compel them to de-
clare our people oppressed and our
trade restricted by protective tariff.
1t is not possible for me to refer even
in the briefest way to many of the
topics presented IN the resolutions
adopted by the convention.
Upon all that has not been dis
cussed l have before publically ex-
pressed by views. A change in the
personnel of the National Admins.
tration is of comparatively little mo-
ment. If those exercising the public
functions are able, honest, diligent
and faithful, others possessing all
these qualities may be found to take
their places, but the changes in the
laws.and administrative politics are of
great moment. When public affairs
have been given direction and busi-
ness has adjusted itself to those lines,
any sudden change involves stoppage
and new business adjustments. If the
change of direction is so radical as to
bring a commercial turntable into
use, the business changes involved are
not establishments but reconstruc-
tions.
DESTRUCTIVE DEMOCRATIC POLICY.
The Democratic party offers u pro-
gramme of the demolition of the pro-
tective policy, to which all business,
even that OF the importer, is now ad-
justed. The reciprocity policy, the
new merchant marine, are all to be
demolished; not gradually, not taken
down, but blown up. To this pro-
gramme of destruction is added one
constructive feature, the re-establish-
ment of the State banks OF issue.
The policy of the Republican party,
on the other hand is distinctively
policy of safe progression and the de-
velopment of new factories, new mar
kets and new ships. 1t will subject
business to perilous changes, but Of
fers attractive opportunities for ex-
pansion upon familiar lines.
Very respectfully yours,
BENJAMIN HARRISON.

A Negro Murderer Hanged.

Charles Brooks, an aged negro, was
hanged at Spokane at s o'clock A. NJ,
on the 9th inst, in the courtyard of
the county Jail. His crime was the
murder OF his white wife, Christine
Dohlman, on July 5, 1891. The exc
cution passed off without mishap.
Brooks slept soundly all night,
showing little restlessness or uneasi-
ness. He awoke at 5 o'clock, saying
he had had q good nights rest. He
smoked a cigar while lying in bed.
At 6 :15 he arose and dressed himself
in new Prince Albert suit. For
breakfast he ate only a bowl OF mush.
A few minutes later the Reverends
Brown and Taylor entered the cell to
offer spiritual consolation. After talk
ing short time they sang hymn in
which Brooks joined. This was fol-
lowed by scriptural reading, after
which, "Ask the Savior to Help You"
was sung at Brooks request. At
Z 40 Sheriff Pugh entered the cell and
read the death warrant. Brooks
heard it calmly and without emotion.
After the warrant was read Sheriff
Pugh informed Brooks that the time
for the execution had now arrived.
The condemned man walked from his
cell to the scaffold with steady step
and a smile for everybody he knew.
Brooks smoked a cigar on the way to
the gallows and did not throw it away
until he began to speak. When all
were upon the scaffold Brooks stood
up and began talking in subdued
tone, inaudible to everybody except
those on the scaffold. As he proceed
ed his voice became gradually higher
until it reached shrek. When
Brooks concluded speaking Rev.
Brown asked him to join with them
in singing "When 1 Can Read Ny
Title Clear" Brooks joined in the
song and smiled and bowed to the
audience in the meanwhile with seem
ing satisfaction. Precisely at S0i
o'clock Brooks was placed upon the
trap and his hands and legs pinionet
with stout leather straps by tht
deputies in charge, and the moose wa
adjusted. All the time Brooks wa
smiling and nodding to the people
standing below. The black cap wa
adjusted at 8 :05 and the moose was 81
arranged that the drop would breal
his neck. At 8 :O6 the Sheriff touchet
the button that sent the murderer
soul into eternity. His neck wa
broken and he died almost withou
tremOr.

GENEROSITY AND LAW.
Pension for Soldiers and Punishment
for'Mobs.

The union soldiers and sailors are
now veterans of time as we'll as of war.
The parallel has approached close to
the citadel of life, and the end for
each OF brave and honorable strug-
gle is not remote. Increasing in.
trinity and years give minor tones
OF sadness and pathos to the mighty
appeal of service and suffering, The
ear that does not listen with sympathy
and the heart that does not respond
with generosity, are the ear and heart
OF an alien, and not Of an American.
Now soon again the surviving veter-
ans are to parade again upon the
great avenue of the national capital,
and every tribute of honor and love
should attend the march. A comrade
in the column OF the victors' parade in
1865, am not less a comrade now.

PLENTY OF TIMBER.-Somebod has
figured that there are now in Western
Washington 222 sawmills with daily
aggregate capacity of 6,696,OOO feet.
The Vest Coast Lumbermdn says that
if these mills were running full time
about 25O days in the year, allowing
time for repairs and the annual over.
hauling OF the mill-the yearly output
of the mills would be about ,674, 900,
600 feet, and at that rate the present
supply of standing timber would last
over 22O years; but as many of the
larger mills do not run more than hall
the time and a goodly number of the
smaller mills are shut down altogether
it is probable that the consumption
does not reach the half of that. In
any event, even with vastly increased
output, there is enough FIR in Western
Washington without any increase in
the growth to last long way into the
2lst century and probably till its close
