THE Int'rtOr Herald OF las week contained a
half cOlumn article uDd r the caption Of "AdVice
to Young Men. ."-AHiance Gazette.
The Interior Herald is Fletcher
Meredith's paper. The Gazette does
not state what advice he gives to
young men. Does he advise them to
forge libels upon respectable bodies
OF men and publish them to the world
as facts? Or does he advise them to
pass the night with strange women at
hotels within a few miles of their own
homer What kind Of advice is he Civ.
ing to the rising generation?
The advocate., 1892-03-02

The next president of the United
States will be named at Omaha. This
statement will be denounced as bun
combe by the press of both of the old
parties, but it will be found to be COR
rect The discomfort of the industrial
classes is widespread, and their up
rising is almost universal. The COL
or line will be wiped out in the
south, and the Peoples ticket will
sweep this country like cyclone.
There is no power upon the face of
the earth that can resist the forces
now concentrating in this grand
movement of the people.
The advocate., 1892-03-02

PoI1T1c1ANs Of both Of the old parties
are between the devil and the deep
sea upon the silver question. Ifthey
60 in for free coinage they lose the
Wall street Doodle, which is their
most powerful argument in political
campaigns; and if they go against it
they array the masses Of the south
and west solidly against them. In
either case they are bound to come to
grief.

THE GREAT NATIONAL CONFERENCE.

THE GREAT NATIONAL CONFERENCE.
THE ADVOCATE has not the space
for a detailed report of the routine
proceedings of the great st. Louis
conference; nor do we deem such re-
port as materially necessary in pa
per like ours. Our readers desire to
know certain things in relation to that
gathering, and most of all they de-
sire to know its results These we
shall endesvor to give.
It has been said for 10, these many
months, that the Farmers Alliance is
a southern institution-thst it is Of
Democratic origin and its purpose is
to ruin the Republican party. It has
been said and insisted upon that the
sonth would never agree TO vote any
thing but the Democratic ticket-in
short that the south would not be ''in
il" The result OF the ST. Louis con-
ference will, we think, eliminate that
idea from the controversy. If there
was less enthusiasm among the rep
resentatives of one state than among
those Of another, for independent po-
litical action, we failed TO learn what
state enjoyed that distinction.
It will be remembered that The
ADVOCATE said months ago that the
south would fulfill its agreement at
this conference We had abundant
faith in these people and have always
believed that they would be true to
their principles, and true to their
friends in the west. We have found
it impossible to doubt them; and hence
it affords us uuslloyed pleasure at
this time to record their loyalty and
devotion. The hand stretched out to
them has been grasped with the
warmth characteristic Of the people
Of the southland, and the grest south

then, the people are being robbed.
1t would be interesting to read Mr..
Borland's explanation of just how the
-ingle tax would relieve the people of the
extortiOns Of such monopolies as the
Standard OIL trust, the Western Union
Telegraph company, or the Bell Tele-
graph company, and many other monop-
olies might name. The only rational
and successful remedy for the evils con-
nected with monopolieS which are "nat-
urap In their nature and being, is the
following, proposed In the platform of
the Peoples party of the state Of Massa-
chusetts, as follows:
We favor government ownership of all
means of transportation and communi-
cation; and in general, when in the course
Of business cancellations in the form of
trusts or private syncicates, it becomes evil
dent that any branch of commerce is used
for the profit Of few men at the expense of
the general public, we believe that the peo-
pie should assume control of such COM
merCe through their national, state or mu-
niOipal administrations. We, therefore,
favor general statute under which cities or
towns in this commonwealth may acquire
or establish local transit systems, or substi-
tute public ownership for private monopoly
when demanded by the people, such as the
opening by cities or towns of public coal
yards to furnish coal and fuel at cost.
We oppose the granting of municipal
franchises to private corporations for terms
of years.
In the case, however, Of gigantic COM
blnations Of capital and business enter
prises called trusts, the graduated, cum
ulstive tax offers an effective remedy.
This tax commencing at a basis rate,
upon basis valuation, increases the rate
of taxation as the value of taxed proper
ty increases. This is the graduated"
feature. The cumulative" features con-
sists In this: When any corporation,
trust or individual owns more than one
business plant operating under, or with
the same combined capital, the rate of
tax applicable to the total capital stock
Is levied upon each separate plant or in
stitution in the trust. Mr.. Borland should
be able to see that this course of pro-
cedure would give small and legitimate
enterprises chance to successfully com
pete with trusts.
And, by the way, while upon the sub
ject of taxation--I have stated that in
terest was the basic factor In rent and
proht-it is also the key to the solution
Of the much vexed tariff question. Let
me explain. The two factors which
make 1t necessary to maintain protect
i've tariff are low rates of interest and
cheap labor In England. Low rates of
interest make light profits and the two
together make low prices, which, In their
turn make the purchasing power Of low
wages equal to that of better wages.
American laborers could work for less
wages than at present and yet live as
we'll as they do now, were the rates of
Interest and profit as low as they are in
England. We can never have free trade
until we, as q government regulate the
value OF money, by limiting the rate Of
interest, as does the English government
through the Bank Of England. Free
money, free land, free trade and trans
portation at cost.
SO far as the single tax is concerned, 1

battle for the homes and the Liberties
Of the people.
The platform adopted was unsni.
mously reported from the COMMITTEES
on demands, and, in all that great
conference, representing so many diff
ferent industrial organizations, and
coming as it did from every state and
territory in the union, but a solitary
negative vote was cast sgainstit. The
man who cast it was the most lone
some fellow in all the world. He has
not been located and we 40 not know
where he belongs. He had the courage
Of his convictions, however, and is en-
titled to the respect Of honest men
because Of that fact.
The address preceding the plat
form is the work of the Hon. Igns-
tious Donnelly; and it is safe to say
that for terse and crisp expression,
and for condensation and power it
has seldom been equslsd and has
never been surpassed. It is terri
BILE Indictment against the old parties
under which they stand convicted be-
fore the world, and the righteous
judgment Of the court Of final resort
will be pronounced against them in
November next.
It can no longer be said that the
platform is a farmers platform.
The men from the farms, from the
shops, from the mines, and the marts
Of trade met together and psrtici-
pated in its formation. 1t is plat
form framed by the industrial classes
Of all occupations and from all sec
tions Of the country. They all re-
gard it as broad enough to serve their
interests. It does not, of course,
cover every necessary reform. 1t is
not intended to do 80. The repre-
sentatiVes assembled in that confer
ence recognized the most urgent ne
cessities of the people and pointed ont
remedies for some of the evils under
which we are suffering. 1t further
recognized the fact that a party OF
the people, in touch and sympathy
with the masses, and representing
their interests, will remedy other ills
than those indicated in the platform
when it is in a position to do so. AS
q matter Of fact the proper time to
make demands on q party ls when it
is in q position to grant them; and it
is good policy to limit platform to q
few fundamental principles. This
has been done, but it must not be un.
derstood that other needed reforms
will be ignored when the party is in
power. No party has ever pretended
to cover, in its platform, all needed
subjects of legislation, and it would
be unreasonable to expect the new
party TO do so.
The platform will be found in an
other place.

ITALo-AMERIcAN EXHIBITION.

Opened ut Genoa With Large Attendance
and Imposing Ceremonies,
ROME, July 2.-The Italo-A American
Exhibition at Genoa in honor of the
discovery of America by Columbus has
been opened with imposing ceremonies.
There was large attendance, both of
foreigners and of prominent Italians,
including the various diplomatic repre-
sentatives accredited to the Quirinal.
The United States aud the republics
of South and Central America were rep
resented, and the Italian feet has con-
spicuous part in the display.
The buildings are not yet completed,
and the Exhibition was not, therefore,
as attractive as it will be later.
The buildings are erected on the
broad esplanAde on the right bank OF
the river Risagno, and they cover ITO, =
900 square metres. They are of impos-
ing and attractive architectural de-
signs,
The Exhibition is intended to give an
idea of the progress made by both Italy
and America since the Italian, Colum-
bus, discovered the Western Continent,
and the exhibits will include specimens
of the artistic, industrial and agricul-
tural products of Italy and America.
The Argentine Government, wher Q
many Italians are settled, has taken
great interest in the Exhibition, and
Is represented by a corvette from the
Argentine feet.

PITTsBURa, July 2.-The only addi-
tional signatures received to the Anal
gamated Association wage scale are
those of the Scottsdale Pennsylvania
Iron s. Steel Company and the Coving-
ton, KY, Steel Company.
There are beyond doubt more idle men
in Pittsburg and vicinity to-day than
there has been at any one time for the
past IS years.
Tho employees of all the iron mills ex-
cept the sheet mills are walking the
streets, and the wheels OF the great
manufacturing concerns of Pittsburg
which were SO busy are idle.
With the various iron and glass plants
idle, the South Side presents an odd ap-
pearance. 1t is a complete shut down.
Every mill has suspended and there
are 80, 900 men idle in that part OF Pitts
burg.
At nearly all of the iron mills in the
district millwrights and mechanics are
at work making necessary repairs, and
at some, at least, the shut down is
known to be temporary, as the manu-
faoturers have assured their employ es
that work will he resumed as soon as
repairs and stock taking are completed.

CLEVELAND'S NOMINATION,

Representative Wilcox Says 1t Was
the Best That Could be Made.
"Cleveland's nomination is the best
that could be made for our state" said
Representative Wilcox yesterday after
noon. The business men especially
have the greatest confidence in Mr.
Cleveland in giving them safe and con-
sentative business administration. He
is thoroughly sound on finances and for
these reasons he is especially strong in
Connecticut. The people of Connecti-
cut are growing more in favor of tariff
reform; his sentiment is spreading and
getting strong hold in the minds of
the people as they understand it better,
and believe the state is reasonably Ger
tain for Cleveland. The tariff plank in
the democr. tic platform 1 believe, is
very satisfactory to our party and the
independent voters. The people are rap
idly coming to the conviction that the
tariff for revenue only to meet the
necessary expenses of the government
will give generous and abundant pro-
lection. and when tariff taxes go be-
yond this limit they cannot be justified
upon any other principle than taxing
the people solely for the purpose of pay
ing bounties to the favorite classes in
order that the greater profits shall flow
into their treasures from the pockets of
the people,"

YALE'S EASY VICTORY
Harvard Badly Beaten in the
Varsity Race.
BLUE COMES IN is LENGTHS AHEAD.

The Crimson Secured the Lead and Held
It for the First One Hundred Yards
! After That Yale Secured First Place and
Held It to the End--A Yale Week.
NEW LONDON, Conn.,, July 2.-This
has been a Yale week with q Yale finish
Tuesdays baseball victory over Harvard;
the Yale freshman conquest of Harvard
700 In the annual two mile row on the
Thames, and, to put gloss finish on
the whole seasons aggregate of Yale's
athle tic achievements, the record Of the
Yale varsity in turning the tables on
the Harvard Grew, leaving them even
farther behind than Yale was left last
year-and that is saying a great deal.
1t was Yale's year to choose between
the east and the west course, and she
selected the former.
The observation train made its appear
ance AS the referees word was given,
and sixteen oars dug into the water.
Harvard's spry stroke secured the field
first and the crimson took the lead. Fo r
the first 100 yards she kept 1t, pulling a
39-stroke, while Yale's was about 81.
Yale splashed badly and the boat
rolled q little, while Harvard got off
comparatively smoothly.
At 100 yards from the start the Yale
PROV had shot past Harvard's. Yale
had found its form.
Harvard quickened its stroke a little,
making a desperate fight before rslin-
gushing the lead.
At the first halt-mile Yale was rowing
half a length in the lead, with both
crews exhibiting the finest burst of
speed witnessed during the entire rae Q,
except possibly at the finish.
Yale continued its effective squirt
during the second half mile, while Har-
ward fell back little by little.
When the Yale she'll passed the first
mile post it was three lengths ahead.
Yale took matters a trif1e more easy
from the mile to the mile and half
post, and the gap between the shells
remained little changed.
Yale was four lengths ahead at the
two-mile post, which marked the con-
clusion of half the race.
Yale pulled like one man. At the
Ia mile post Yale had placed full ly
eight lengths between her stern and
the Harvard bow.
1t was then a gift for Yale and the
race was won by over fifteen lengths by
Yale.
The official time for the four miles is
20:49 for Yale; for Harvard, 1:42 la.
Fifteen thousand people whine ssed
| the race.

Four Thousand Men to Receive Their
Money and a Discharge.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, July "A notice
has been posted at the entrance to the
Homestead Company's Office enjoining
all employees, from the highest to the
lowest, that they will be paid off in
full.
About 1000 men in all will receive
their money and also notices of dis
charge.
Barring the fact that the crowd of
workmen may be noisy no demonstra-
tion is anticipated.
A member of the Advisory Board of
the locked-out men said to-day:
"Mr Tricks statement that only
2S6 men were affected by the new scale
is a mistake. Every man in the mill
suffers by it, and we can prove it. The
general reductions in all departments
range from eight to ten per cent, and
in some as high as 40 per cent"
While it cannot be exactly estimated
vet, the loss to the Carnegie Company
every day the mill is idlsis very heavy
and amounts to thousands Of dollars.
In case the firm fails to recede from
its present determined stand there will
be great danger of being unable to fill
the government and Worlds Fair con-
tracts. The company is under $500,
600 bond for the completion of a large
amount of armor plate, and unless the
old men are taken back or new men
secured there is a probability of the
government demanding forfeiture.

Naugatuck Man Accused of TriAlng
With a Widows Affections.
Deputy Sheriff Sweeney last night
served papers upon Lemuel P. Hoadley,
so years of age, farmer and machine
foreman of the Goodyear Metallic Rub
Der Shoe company of Naugatuck, in a
suit for breach of promise of marriage.
brought by Mrs Sarah Rudolph, who
wants $4,000 damages. Hoadley is a
prominent influential man in Manga
tuck of considerable means and has been
widower year or two. Mrs Rudolph
is tenant of his. She is about forty
years of age and has been a widow for
two or three years.
Hoadley, it is alleged, has courted her
ardently for some months. OF late his
ardor has cooled owing to the influence
of his eldest son who, with the rest of
the family consider the widow to be OF
not equal station with his father. Mrs
Rudolph has lately rather persistently
importuned Hoadley to keep his
promise, and on June IS and again ten
days later insisted that he should fulfil
the alleged obligation.
