NEAL SPEAKS.
Opens the Ohio Democratic Campaign
Tariff Views.

Newark, o., Sept. 14.-Lawrence r.
Neal, of Chillicothe, democratic candi-
date for governor, opened the campaign
here today in the presence of a large
delegation from Columbus, Marshfield,
Chillcothe, Circleville, Lancaster, Zanes-
vile, Mount Vernon and other points.
All the democrat tic candidates on the
state ticket were present.
After referring to the existing finan-
cial depression Mr.. Neal declared that
the Mckinley and Sherman laws were
the cause of the trouble. He said the
demacrtic party is pledged in favor of
! bimetallism and the repeal of the
purchasing clause Of the Sherman act
He said that Mckinley was the great
est foe to the prosperity of the people,
that Mckinley protection means tax
alton favoring the rich. Several years
ago the government receipts exceeded
the expenditures by S1OO,OOO,OOO. This
burden falls on the poor people.
He declared the agricultural interests
We're the victims of protection. In 1860
he said farmers owned almost half the
property in the country; now they
own less than one quarter. The diff
ference measures the farmers loss and
the manufacturers gain. The defeat
of the republican party of Ohio will
affirm the judgment of the people of
the entire country entered at the
presidential election last year. 1t will
be the final decision of the American
people.
The speaker appealed to the people
to vote for democracy, the party of
the people. the guardian angel of
their rights and liberties and thus Sc
cure the destruction of monopolists and
a just taxation.
w. A. Taylor, candidate for leuten-
ant governor, spoke this evening on
pensions and republican state govern
ment.

Leo.

Faribault, Mimi, Sept. 1.-THE for
mai announcement of failure OF the
Faribault school plan. which during the
past eighteen months has been dis

was made today when Father Coury
appeared before the board Of education
and said the Catholics could no longer
consent to the assignment of tw
protestant teachers to the Hill schoo
which had been a Catholic school up
to the time of the union.

Pope Leo. AS Il result of this order Ill
the protestant children will be with
drawn from the Hill school and that
institution will in the future be con
Quoted strictly as Il parochial school.
The board of education annulled its
lease of the Hill school and took steps
to lease another building for the accom-

Hobokcn, y. j., Sept. 15.-The con
Toversy between Bishop Wigger and
Father Corrigan is now as bitter as
ever, and the strong language used by
Father Corrigan il. refuting the charge
that he had mi,managed the parochial
school affairs in the Hobokcn parish

oIicS in Bis lop Wiggers diocese.
Father Gorrigan in his latest letter,
published today, Indignantly denied
that he had miSmanaged the affairs
Of his parishes and said that the men
who claimed he had We're liars. Bishop
Wigger makes it IL rule not to discuss

New York, Sept. 1o.-BradstrecJ re-
ports that the starting up OF idle manu-
featuring Industries has not been rs
most instances has been with reduced
forces and on part time.
Stimulation ut the prominent cities
in the Ohio and Mississippi river val
leyS remains the feature of the bust
ness this week. In other respects there
has been no real gain within the week
and the long dra Wn-out Indifference of
the senate to the wishes of the enor-
NOUS majority of business communities
has had a depressing effect on the
commercial situation. In addition to
last weeks favorable features of the
money market are increased deposits,
a heavy influx of currency from the
agricultural regions and reported eX-
tensions of discount by Il few banks,
but there has been no further increase
in the volume of money throughout
the country. Neither the wooden, cot
ton, iron or steel industries of tn
north and east are increasing thei
outputs. Inc reports Oh the cdlLhISS
of twenty railroads for August
show q decrease compared with Au-
gust, 1892, of $6,292,OOO of 1913 per
cent
The prices of almost all cereal and
meat food products, coffee and sugar
as well as cotton and lumber have adj
vanced. The stocks of wheat in the
United States were about at as law an
ebb last week and now promise to in
crease, while the supplies in Europe
have already begun to grow. Brad
streets editorially expressed views on
the worlds wheat supply in 1S93-94
are that there is a small nominal eX-
cess Of the total surplus as contrasted
with the aggregate deficiencies, Canada
being credited with an export surplus
of $4,000 bushels and the United States
crop put at 44O,OOO,OOO bushels. We
have shipped abroad 100000 bushels
of wheat within the past eleven weeks
and the demand continues firm.

DECIDED IMPROVEMENT
OVER THE COUNTRY.

New York, Sept. 15.-In their weekly
review of trade r. G. Dun & Co. say
the returns from every part of the
country show decided improvement.
A hopeful feeling prevails as money
grows abundant at the speculative cen
tres, and somewhat easier for COM
mercial purposes.
The number of establishments as
reported as resuming work, thirty one
wholly and twenty-SiX in part, still
exceeds the number cloSings, thirty
three the past week besides ten reduc-
ing their forces, so the number of
hands employed is somewhat increased.
Business is pulling itself together.
The government report last Saturday
was the most dismal for years. 1t is
not altogether credited that wheat will
be damaged to the extent of an eigth,
but the decline has been sufficient to
cause rise of 2 II cents. The in
jury to corn is estimated at 215,OOO,0OO
bushels and the price went UP 4 cents,
though western receipts largely ex,
ceeded those of last year. Hogs natur.
ally advanced fifty cents, lard thirty,
five cents and pork seventy-fve pei
barrel.
Trouble at Rio has affected the mark,
ct for coffee, which advanced II to /
cent, but Oil declined / II cents.
The industrial improvement is largely
in cotton, and otherwise appears
scarcely more satisfactory than last
week. About two-thirds of the Fall
River mills are operating, but at re
duction of 10 to L. per cent in wages
The purchases of wool began last week
part, apparently, speculative, and a

the week is the highest since May 10
though only 4,356,3OO pounds agains

reported to be started up in part, an,
six wholly, while thirteen stopped anl

The output of pig iron Sept. 1, shows

S5,11S6S5 for the week against III
average exceeding $11, OO0.OOO, weekly
in the two previous months. The fail
