on this subject. as they differ too widely.
Beerbohm estimates the production of
1893 at 2.24s. 600. 900 bushels. the Hunga-
rian minister Of agriculture at 2,279, 0OO,-
900 and the Liverpool Corn Trade List at
2.312, 0O0. 900. Beerbohm also estimates this
years crop of Europe at 1885, 900, 900
bushels, and Dornbusch at 1,224, 600 900.
There is no doubt but the surplus wheat
carried over from the previous crops was
the largest ever known. At the begin
ming of this crop year every importing
country was stuffed full of wheat and
flour. The exporting countries were also
stuffed. This condition was caused by
continued Understanding of the crops
and the overestimation Of consumption.
Our crops of 1891 and 1892 were under
estimated at least 1OO.OOO,OOO bushels. The
large visible supply of last year shows
this conclusively. 1 am satisfied that the
agricultural department has overesti-
mated the consumption by at least half
a bushel per capita

which are now circulating through the
country. Not only are the regulations
of honest men injured by this talk of
dishonest and dishonorable officials, but
the reputation of the city which elected
and reelected them to office is also in
jured. But worse than both of these Is
the fact that men who stood honestly
and firmly for good government, whose
record is unblemished by any yielding
to corporate influence against the city's
interests, have been turned down. The
effects if this cannot but be bad. Indi-
annapolis can afford to reflect on this
matter. There ought to be a lesson

NOT CHARITY. BUT WORK.

The meeting at the criminal court
series Of remarkable meetings which will
be held from time to time during the
winter. 1t was a meeting of working
men and those Interested in workingmen
to discuss the present outlook for labor
and to try TO devise some means beside
charity for assisting worlingmen during
the winter. Hard times. depression in
business. strIngency in money markets
and the periodic slow up which comes
upon the country about once in twenty
years, have had their innings. The work.
ingmen are the sufferers. Now what shall
be done?
At the meeting Friday night a PROPOSE
ton was made to hold another next
Wednesday night, when the committees
appointed at the first meeting can make
their reports We wish IL were possible
to impress upon the minds Of every Ia
borer. every property-owner. every capt.
talist I'm Indianapolis how important II
is that the laborlng men meet and dis
cuss these conditions. There is no in
cendiary denunciation OF capital, no
ranting against those in better circum-
stances. no demand that they divide
their wealth. The anarchist has no place
and the advocate OF free land is promptly
suppressed IndIhdual opinions are not
promulgated and the meetings turned
into a rabid denunciation Of the present
order OF society. All those subjects are
dropped and employer and employed
meet upon common basis and give
their views of the question at issue.
This Is right. Few people stop to
think of the condition of the average
worl0ingmen when such crisis as the
present comes upon them. AS we have
pointed out very many times before. this
city is especially favored as regards COM
fort of workingmen. Many of them own
their homes-more than the average in
most cities-and most Of their homes are
more than comfortably furnished. They
have bought these homes I'm building and
loan associations upon the supposition-a
perfectly legitimate supposition, too-that
the prosperity and business development
of indianapolis was always going to last.
No one told them differently; no one
thought differently. Now they are
caught with their homes partially

A TARIFF FOR REVENUE WANTED


Nothing more discouraging has come
from Washington recently than the re-
port that the tariff bill is being delayed
by members who demand protection for
industries in their own districts. If this
is the idea of tariff reform that is enter
tanned by democratic congressman they
should bring in an Endorsement OF the
Mckinley bill and relieve the country
from suspense at the earliest possible
moment That is the principle on which
the Mckinley bill is founded, and If 1t
is desired to retain McKinleyism we
might as we'll have it pure and simple.
There is not a western democratic con-
gresham who asks protection for
special industry in his district that rep
resents the sentiment of his district.
The West does not want protection for
itself or for any other locality. There
are probably a few men in every district
who want protection for their special
interes is, but the people do not want
it, and the people will rebel if it is given.
The country wants tariff reform. 1t has
voted for 1t. If 1t does not get it from
the democratic party it will get it from
some other party.
We are informed by the dispatches
that some gentlemen want protection
for mica mines. Democrats do not want
protection for mica mines or any other
kind of mines. If mines cannot be
worked profitably why should the people
be taxed to work them? The PROPOSE
ton is unjust and it is more than unjust.
tariff on mining products is simply an
encouragement to consume the nat
ural riches OF the country before there
Is a natural call for them. We have
been guilty of this folly in our ''protec-
ton" of pine lumber. The result Of IL
is that the country is almost denuded Of
pine timber, and In very few years we
shall be obliged to import the lumber
that we have been taxing ourselves to
keep from importing. There ought to be
no consideration of protection" in this
measure. What is wanted is tariff for
revenue. Prepare and pass bill for
that purpose and the Incidental protec-
ton it will give is all that is needed for
any industry. Repeal all bounties. II
a tariff on sugar is needed for revenue.
put it on. If not, leave 1t off. The es-
sential thing is TO make revenue the
central feature Of the bill. and to make
It so plain that no one can mistake 1t
for a protective measure.

paid for and a long winter without work
condition of the city and country. A
larger proportion of the more favored
ones of the city have never stopped to
think of this. They have merely gone
on, paid for what they had, subscribed
literally to the C haritable associations,
and felt that they were doing their duty.
And they were. No one wishes to criti-
else their action for a moment. Under
those conditions it was exectly the thing
to do.
But things have changed. There has
been a period of depressing influences
which have tended to suspend business of
all sorts for a time. Now something
must be done to alleviate distress. What
shall it be? That question has been
weeks, but no satisfactory solution has
yet been reached. A solution must be
reached or right here in this great city
men, women and children will die of
hunger and cold before spring. Some
one will say there is the charities or
ganization. Very we'll; but remember it
is American citizens we must provide
for, not beggars. Remember that the
American citizens birthright is his in
dependence. II is that which makes him
grand and noble. and free. We don't
want to do anything to destroy that feel
ing of independence. Therefore. If you
have $25 that you feel as though you
could spare to help those who are needy
expend it in some sort of improvements
about your buildings and pay some of
these men for doing the work. Look out
that you choose those who have families,
for it is doubly sad to see little children
suffering for bread, and that in this
great, prosperous city. You won't re-
gret your decision to do so. We have the
noblest body of laboring men in the coun-
try, and it is for us who are better stu
ated to keep them noble. Give them
work and pay them fair price and you
will still permit them to. retain their in
dependence, their dearest heritage, and
nelp them at the same time This is the
only solution to be offered now. Perhaps
the discussion of the subject will bring
out other points. but assistance rem
dered along this line will be Of far-reach-
ing benefit both to the giver and receiver.

He sticks to It, however, that he killed

The most earnest doubters appar-
