BICYCLES AND SEWING MACHINES.

American Manufactures Are Much Cheaper
In England Than at Home.
Two striking instances of the way In
which the Republican system of protec-
ton is used to rob the American citizen
and benefit the foreigner have been
brought to the attention Of the Demo-
cratic national committee. One relates
to bicycles and the other to sewing ma
chimes. An American who was in Eng
land last August desired to get Victor
bicycle, and he wrote to see what 1t
would cost. In reply he received the
following letter from the president Of
the Overman Wheel company (Which
manufactures the Victor wheeD, who
happened to be in England at the time:
FIRST AVENUE HOTEL. HoLBURN.l
LONDON, w. c., Aug. l5.
DEAR S1R-Replying to your inquiry for Vic
tor bicycles, with Victor cushion tires, you
can procure same of the Overman Wheel COM
pany, Chicopee Falls, Mass u. s. A, for $135,
less 25 per cent. on account of export. Or If
you care to send me twenty pounds will see
that your order Is filled at once. Our cushion
tire is not to be compared with the 30 called
cushions here. 1t is marvelously good. We
make but one grade bicycle-the highest.
yours, A. IL. OvERMAN.
So by means Of the peculiar workings
of Republican protection q buyer in
England can get q bicycle for 800
which at the place of its manufacture in
this country cannot be got by an Ameri-
can buyer for less than $135.
The sewing machine affair shows still
more strikingly the advantage of the
foreign buyer. At the headquarters of
the Domestic Sewing Machine company,
at Broadway and Union square, New
York, they asked fifty dollars freight
extra) for good machine. A Texas
woman, who was in Leeds, England,
short time ago, got the price of a Domes-
tic machine there, and was assured by
the agent that he could sell her one at
cheaper rate than she could get in
America. He agreed to deliver a ma
chine at her home in Texas for six
pounds, or thirty dollars. She accepted
the offer, and in due time the machine
arrived and is now in use. So the wom-
an saved twenty dollars and the freight
by buying in England.

Columbus Day in Mineral Point.

/ columbus LAY, Friday Oct. Il, was
appropriately observed in this city.
The celebration was under the auspices
of the public schools and proved very
pleasant, as well as a most successful
one. The procession formed on High
street and to the inspiring music of
the Mineral Point band marched to the
First ward school building, where the
children and teachers were in waiting.
The line of march from the High
school building was east along Maiden
and South streets to Chestnut street
thence north to High street, thence up
High street to the Park. The process
sion was composed of school children,
and teachers, members of George III.
Legate Post, members of st. Joseph's
Society, and citizens in general. 1t is
estimated there were from twelve to
fifteen hundred persons in line. The
sight was indeed a most beautiful one.
Appropriate badges had been provided
for the children, who in holiday attire
and bearing flags and notices entered
heartily into the spirit of the occasion.
Arrived at the park, the ceremonies
of hosting the flag were carried out by
the veterans under direction of Com
mander Jacobs, who, at the close pro-
proposed three cheers for " old glory"
which were given by the entire COM
pany with right good will After the
salute to the flag had been given by
theschool children, The following pro

country. The exercises were Of a
high order, and were well carried out.
The celebration was what it was in
tended it should bean observance of
Columbus Day in which all could

cess of the celebration, special praise
is due to teachers, and to the board of
education under whose direction it
was held,

And brilliantly displays
The glorious foliage.

In the moons bright beams,
But are chilled in the steams
Of its sllvery CLEANS,

But little need we fear
Fen December's frigid cheer

On whose merits We could dwell;

as when any other baking powder is
used it dries out much too quickly.

should have it.

In the nomination of Hon. J. M.
Smith for member of assembly from
this district the democrats have a
candidate of whom they may well feel
proud, and one who will discharge the
duties of the Office with eminent ability
and fairness. He is a truly repre-
sentative citizen, who enjoys in the
very highest degree the confidence and
esteem of his fellow men. No man
is better qualified to represent the in
terests of the district. He has always
responded to the calls of his party
associates, and has frequently sac
riticed his personal interests by so
doing. His friend everywhere should
rally to his support.
While in Mineral Point on Thurs
day afternoon, Congressman A. r.
Bushnell received cordial greeting
from many of our citizens. Mr..
Bushnell is an able and earnest dem
ocrat, and is enthusiastic in the
cause of tariff reform He very
ably represented the interests of this
district in congress, and his speech in
favor of revision and reduction of
tariff taxation, made during the last
session is everywhere regarded as a
very able and comprehensive one.

w. j. STONE, NOMINATED FOR GOVERNOR
ON THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
began to fill up this morning with the
delegates returning to their work it
was sorry crowd at whom Kodak eX-
perts In the gallery took snap shots
Before the convention met this morn
ing it was evident that Stone to be
headed off must fall the victim of a
combination. To affect this many
politicians sat from o'clock to
10 in stuffy, sitting rooms. But
despite their efforts the friends
and adherents of Stone re-
manned firm as bedrock, and were i'm
bued with the energy and enthusiasm
of yesterday. Dalton's strength was
becoming slightly demoralized, though
his lieutenants did heroic work to
keep it intact. They polled the
delegations of Gibson, Yeaman and
Claycomb in the hope of securing
promises enough to make their man
possibility. When the conven-
ton convened matters We're in q
chaotic condition. Gibson's friends
had come to stay all summer if need
be, but his chances were handicapped
somewhat by the vigorous fight that
was made on his administration man
ayers
The convention opened at 10 o'clock,
with N. d. Thurman of Galloway in
the chair. Chairman Dilley and Assist
ant Chairman John +. Morton of Ray
hav ing succumbed to the heat.
On the roll call but few changes
were made and the first ballot to-day,
the fourteenth of the--convention, re
suited: Stone 21216, Dalton 1913, Gibson

comb Is.
After the announcement of the
seventeenth ballot the Dalton men
made an effort to adjourn until Z
o'clock. The roll call showed tho
neutral forces divided while Gibson
voted his solid strength with Dalton.
Stone was able to hold the convention
in line and the motion to adjourn un-
til 9 o'clock was lost by vote of 26(
to 267.
Fillibustering was then indulged il
for the first time during the conven-
tion, another motion to adjourn until
2:30 being made and the roll call de-
manded. On the second ballot the
vote was 254 yeas, 271 nays.
