1T is the tariff ISSUE" remarked
staunch Republican, shat is re-
sponsible for the stagnation of bus
mess. Manufacturers are afraid
that the tariff will be changed
therefore they will not buy goods
liable to be affected" Now, the
fact is that, laboring under the no.
ton that the government would
keep a fence around the richest ma
ton on earth, manufacturers went
crazy. They glutted every availa-
BILE market with their products
They piled up all they could in
their warehouses. Change or nc
change in tariff, they had got to
stop. They would have stopped
just the same if Harrison and Nc
Kinley had been where Cleveland
and Crisp are. The supply exceed
ed the demand and will continue to
exceed the demand until something
is done for the relief of the people.
The capitalists who have controlled
the legislation so long have had
so much rope that they have hang
ed themselves. And while it is
true that the disaster they brought
about extends beyond their circle,
it is not true that the cure of the
distress is the continuance of the
very causes that have produced it.
There are many diseases that must
run their course. The most skill
full physician can only succeed in
moderating their severity and
putting the patient in a con-
dition to rally when the turning
point comes. We shall see better
times when the causes that have
produced the present stagnation
have been removed and when the
industries Of the country have had
time in natural atmosphere to re-
gain the vigor of which they have
been snapped. -Saginawian.

Chicago's Sights.

Every visitor to Chicago should
see Lincoln Park, which is probably
the most attractive resort Of the
kind in the country. It is situated
Immediately on the lake shore, is
easy of access, and the home Of the
beautiful in nature and art. Among
its special attractions are its lakes
and lily pounds; its conservatory Of
rare plants; its electric fountain;
its monuments to the memory Of
Lincoln, Grant, Schiller, Lime,
and others; its artesian wells; its
floral designs, walks and drives;
and last, but not least, its collection
Of wild animals, which is said to be
second to few in the world.

Brighter grows the situatio

Brighter grows the situation ev-
cry day. The press is teeming with
good news from all sides. Real
estate men find the financial pros
poets satisfactory. Wise financiers
say that money will be so plentiful
within a month that it will be diff
ficult to find opportunities to make
loans. Money is crawling out of
various hiding places and being re-
turned to the banks and otherwise
put in circulation at rate that is
truly astonishing, while manufac-
turers of all classes have resumed
or are preparing to resume opera
tions at once, and the business
for the future are truly
very encouraging.

Corbett Says He Is Bound to Meet
Mitchell at That Place.

NEW YORK, July 22.-Apropos of the
statements from Chicago to the effect
that both COrbett and Mitchell had
signed articles for their fight to take
place IN December before the Columbian
Athieric club, of that city. J. }. Corbett
today sent the following telegram to
Judge Newton, Of the COney Island
Athletic club:

World in reference 10 my honesty are
uncalled for. l consider myself and
Mitchell bound to Coney Island club,
and shall refuse to sign here.
JAMES j. CORBETT.
The above dispatch was given to the
Associated Press tonight by Mr. Eek
hardt, official referee of the Coney Isl
and Athletic club, and is the outcome
of an interview published in the World
of Yesterday morning, in which Judge
Newton is quoted as saying in SUBJ
stance that he never had much faith in
Corbett'S honesty when the latter signed
to fight before the Couey Island club.
The cOncenSus of opinion among the
. local sporting men tonight when APP
prlsed Of the contents of Corbett'S tele-
gram is that the latter has evidently
learned of some developments that
makes him doubtful of the ability of the
Columbian Athletic club 10 successfully
bring off the fight at Ro5y.
The Advertiser tomorrow will print
the following telegram from James J.
Corbett:

Programme OF the Day.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, July 22.-The big
Turner parade this afternoon was one
of the greatest demonstrations of the
kind ever witnessed here. Nearly 1000
men were in line. At the park this
afternoon there were a number of
wrestling and other acrobatic exercises,
which were of no great Importance,
however. After the long fatiguing con-
tests and big parade, the greater
portion of the turner's seemed
weary and inclined to rest. The
attendance at the evening exercises in
festival hall was accordingly not near
as large as the preceding night, yet
the hall was more than comfortably
crowded, especially with ladies. The
programme was excellent!y arranged,
the singing and speaking were brief
but sweet and alternated nicely. There
was much applause and many encores,
but none were needed, as each exercise
had an allotted time, and the programme
would not permit of delays. The en-
tire programme consisted of contests in

by the chorus of the Allegheny Turn
eryerein, which sang the Beautiful

brief speech in which he held that
Turner could only be free thinker.
The chorus of the Birmingham Turn

words, Patriotism and the Love of the
Fatherland." The Davenport chorus
sang "Who Knows When We Shall

The Twin City Athletic Club to
Give One.
The directors of the Twin City Ath-
letic club feel highly pleased over their
success i'll arranging the boxing contest
between Robert Dobbs. the lightweight
(colOred) champion of the world, and
Jack Hail. the lightweight champion
OF Australia. Several of the Eastern
clubs were negotiating with both men,
and the local club had to offer good
purse TO secure the event. DobbS has
host OF friends and admirers in Mime
apolis, and he came to the Flour City at
their request. In the event he wins the
coming contest, he will probably be
matched against Jack McAuliffe to
battle for the worlds lightweight cham
pionShip belt. Dobbs has made great
record during the past year. Perhaps
his most notable victory was when he
defeated Charles Johnson, of ST. Paul,
at the California Athletic club, i'll forty
one rounds. This is The only contest
that johnson ever lost. DobbS weighed
in this contest two pounds lighter than
the welterweight champion. He has
stopped host of lightweights and
Welterweights on the Pacific coast. and
many consider him the equal of Nc
Aulitfe.
Jack Hall, the Australian, is the box
ing instructor at the club, and naturally
most of the members hope that he will
win the contest. He has been in train
ing at Medicine lake fol ten days. He
is being cared for by jim Burge, the
lion jaw" man of Australia and winner
Of 163 battles. Hall and Burge have
travelled all over the world and have
met DOXprS of all SiZGS and yvnjvhfC
Hall defeated all the lightweghts in
Australia, and was the recognized cham
pion. He Is conceded to be one of the
cleVerest boxers in the country by all
